Honey, I'm home!




Today, a new issue of Sofis mode magazine is out in Swedish stores. This time, I had the honor of featuring the amazingly talented, beautiful, smart and hilarious blogger and designer Zoey Bittleston of MakeShiftModel and her sparkly and fabulous brand Disco Pony. If for some reason you have yet to visit this girl's blog, I suggest you change that - trust me, you won't be sorry!

EDIT: Ooops, I now see that some of you are writing "congratulations!", and I feel totally embarrassed. I suppose you saw words like "honor" and figured something special had happened. And I'm really sorry, but this is my job and I've been doing it every week for three years, so I don't need to be congratulated. :) So sorry for not being clear! The "honor" is simply because I've become friends with Zoey and she's awesome, so it's an honor getting to know her. But thanks anyway!  <3

And today is also the day that I've officially started blogging here, exclusively. Up until now I've had my Swedish blog on the side, but nothing has been happening over there, since this is really where I want to hang out!

Though, I must admit, it's not entirely without melancholy - I started blogging in Swedish six years ago. That's quite a long time. But hey, nothing's changed except the language, and I'm sure I'll be back with a Swedish blog again some day. Right now I just really want to focus on getting better, more comfortable and confident in English.

Speaking of improving my language skills, I know it's been way too long since I translated one of my columns! Will be sure to upload one either today or tomorrow.

Right now it's breakfast time, and I think I'll celebrate the fact that I'm feeling a little bit better today by actually going outside to get something to eat!

  6. Aaaaw PLEASE don't congratulate me, I haven't been featured, I have featured another blogger in the magazine and I do that in every issue, so there's really nothing to say congratulations for... Sorry I wasn't clear, I feel super embarrassed now... forgive me!

  7. Oh exciting! It's always fun to connect with other bloggers. And I would never think that English wasn't your mother tongue, you have an excellent way with words!

  8. So glad to hear that you're feeling a little better now. Zoey looks really interesting - I'll definitely look her up. It makes me smile each time you mention wanting to improve your English, because you write as though English is your first language.

  9. Hej Annika!
    Jag har länge, länge följt din blogg på Aftonbladet och kommer självklart att läsa din nya blogg här. Älskar ditt språk och det du skriver om, dina outfits och alla foton! Önskar dig lycka till med allt! Kommer dock sakna dig i Sofis mode framöver, men hoppas på att läsa mer av dig i framtiden, en roman kanske? Ha det så gott du vackra och fina!

  12. I will miss your Swedish blog and – above all – the columns that you published there. This blog is also interesting, but your English haven't yet reached the levels of elegance and precision that could be found in your Swedish texts. And how could it have?
    Please don't stop writing in Swedish (not that I think you will) and please get on with the writing of a novel or two. It's hard work – as I'm sure you know – but I'm confident that I'm not the only one who is waiting for a book with your name on the cover.

  19. About the congrats, I think you deserve it, I mean not everyone have the chance to work at a fashion-related magazine (or at any newspaper).
    I myself work as a writer, and my friends are happy for me and proud of me every day, because it really is a big thing to be published. And I think so it too, because I'm really honored to have the chance putting my thoughts out there.
    So congrats, you're doing it great! :]

  21. Hi Annika!
    I have followed your swedish blog for years now, actually your blog was the first blog I ever read and it is the only blog I read religiously. I have suffered with you when times have been hard, and felt happy for you when there have been good times. You are really impressive and such an inspiration. I am so looking forward to following this blog now, just like you, I am a swede blogging in English. I am moving back to London again after a few years back to finish my degree and if you ever come visit London; let me know and I'll show you my favourite places. My blog is : http://rosepetalsandribbons.com/

    Take care!

  22. Kommer såklart att följa med din blogg hit. Men måste fråga av nyfikenhet: varför har du bestämt dig för att skriva på engelska? Vill du göra karriär utomlands?
