Here is my second look from Stockholm.
Old skirt with white shirt and leather jacket were enough for a quick (five) minute walk in front of the Lydmar hotel. ;)
Hope you will like it!

Stockholm / Lydmar hotel

Our second stop during the trip was at Lydmar hotel. And I gotta say, it was a L.O.V.E at first sight!
I have never been at some place which made me feel more like home than this one! And it's no secret at all that I didn't want to leave my room! ;) Cozy and stylish, retro and modern, classic and cool at the same time, this hotel stole my heart, and I'm not an easy girl. ;)

Let me tell you more about it.
The hotel is located on the waterfront in the very city center of Stockholm with the Royal Palace and the National Museum as the closest neighbours. With views over the harbour, Old Town and Royal Palace - Lydmar  is ideally located to explore and enjoy.
The bedrooms and stone-clad bathrooms are huge with enough space left over for big landings on each of the five floors (one has a grand piano on it). The restaurant-bar resembles a living room, with bottles of wine shelved alongside books, and patrons sitting on leather sofas. Decoration in the public spaces is provided by large reportage photograph.
What I really liked,  is the fact that no room is the same and each has it’s own personality, art and decor making it feel more like a home than a hotel. Throughout the Lydmar, new technology blends with restored 19th-century building which gives you even more special feeling about the whole space. And stuff? You can't ask for better! Well dressed with sincere smile on their face they will help you with everything that you need.

We stayed in separated rooms, Jelena in Large King (which is more like apartment than room) and I slept in Medium King. All  rooms are designed with a contemporary classic look and each room has its own personal touch. With complimentary wifi and movies, bed linen from Gastraldi in Italy and L'Occitane in bathrooms you won't leave your room. :) 

Tips for Lydmar hotel:
1. Order your breakfast from room, it's free of charge or enjoy in gorgeous restaurant area, don't miss to try blackberry jam (it's perfect), yogurt and cream cheese, these things are supper yummy!
2. If you are staying somewhere else, you should definitely stop by to Lydmar's brunch or drink at night, you gotta feel this amazing atmosphere. 
3. If you have chance pick room 415, and you will be delightful!
4. If the weather permits, soak up the sun in front of the hotel and enjoy the view.
5. Grab a book or play the piano, turn on the music in your room, you are at home. ;)

Huge thanks to Charlotte for a warm welcome, macarons were great! :)

Spotlight on........

Ashton Michael.

I discovered Ashton Michael whilst watching ANTM cycle 20 which featured their clothing and the genius behind this clothing.

Ashton Michael collections are futuristic, edgy yet somewhat rebellious designs that play with hard and soft textures and layered finishes. You will often see Ashton Michael designs in black and white with an androgynous street feel about them.

So who is the designer behind this label?

That would be Ashton Hirota. Hirota who grew up in Los Angeles, debuted as a designer when he was19 years old with designs first being sold in NYC and Tokyo.

Today, Ashton Hirota customs designs for celebrities such as will.i.am, Chris Brown and R Kelly under his label Ashton Michael.

Ashton Michael's latest collection for SS '14 is called Ashton Michael - Black Crossed.

The brand's official website http://ashtonmichael.com will soon feature a shop section, however you can purchase Ashton Michael now at farfetch.com.  You can also follow the label on twitter at @AshtonMichaelLA

Stockholm / Nobis hotel

Most of the time during the hangouts with Jelena, we are talking about some silly things and crazy ideas. In September, one of them was a visit to Stockholm, and shortly after that we booked our trip.
We traveled in November, a week before my birthday and today I'm starting with posts from this gorgeous city. In January issue of Elle Serbia magazine you can read her article and check more of our photos. :)

Our first stop was at Nobis hotel. One of  the Stockholm’s most desirable places to stay and be seen. Located in two historic late 19th-century buildings on Norrmalmstorg Square in the heart of the city, this design conscious hotel will help you to understand geography of this Scandinavian city and enjoy your trip.

Nobis Hotel has been designed for optimal function, beauty, comfort and atmosphere by world renowned Swedish star architect studio Claesson Koivisto Rune. Most of the interior objects were designed specifically for the hotel and the best thing is that you can purchase them too, if you like it. Check it Here.

We stayed at deluxe room with the view from last photo, and if you asked me what can I recall to my mind the answer is simple: the Bed! Large and spacious with Egyptian bed sheets! Still craving for that! We had great experience with this modern and cool hotel and I will definitely recommend it!

Tips for Nobis hotel:
1. Don't miss the breakfast at Caina restaurant. It's totally Swedish ecological, based on home-made, home-baked foods, breads and pastries, simply delicious! Try the blueberry jam and you will be on heaven!
2. Take your time to chill at lounge, which has spectacular chandelier!
3. Also, the Must try is Strawberry Basil Smash cocktail at glamorous Golden bar which has been served more than 32.000 times. Impressive! Gold mirrors, lights and yummy drinks are enough to justify this IT bar.
4. Tune the Vinyl 107 radio and you will be surprised how good this radio station is!


Huge thanks to Alessia for a warm welcome and for making our stay at Nobis even more pleasant, and one more thanks goes to a lovely lady Carin from Paris in four months blog for giving us her To do list in Stockholm!
