Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

Perfect Saturday…Sleep in, late lunch, a bit of shopping (check out the vintage snake skin bag!), afternoon siesta, lounging on the couch, and soon bedtime… Sx

Our trip to Copenhagen was great. It was a well needed break for both of us. The weather was fantastic and we spent both Friday afternoon and Saturday strolling the streets of the Danish capital, having lunch at the distinguished Hotel Angleterre and shopping at Illum where Reinout bought some additions to his spring wardrobe [...]

I’ve just got back from a long walk into town, where we enjoyed a nice lunch (I swapped my usual iced latte for a double espresso in the name of a low carb diet). When we reached the cross road, Reinout made a little detour into the jewellery shop. My heart leaped a notch, as [...]

I was challenged for a walk today, all in the name of “getting your fat ass out of bed”. It’s true, I did a bit of contemplating over the whole thing. I have been so busy focusing on onlinesalsa.com, a site that should be launch in 4-6 weeks from now, that I have not given [...]

So here it is again, Valentines, the biggest commercial fraud history has ever witnessed. And this time there is no Valentine present. I was under the impression that the biggest present ever would be here, but oh no, life had another plan in store. So I need to dedicate some time today to a) find [...]

When you haven’t been able to wear anything sensible for the past 7 months, you are reaching a new stage of desperation. As a self confessed fashionista, I’ve been everything less than one. The last time I looked glamorous was at our summer vacation in Juan les Pins where I came home one day with [...]

Yet another busy Saturday has passed. First into town for a quick lunch and coffee before heading for IKEA. I absolutely love IKEA. It’s almost like being home again i.e. back in Sweden. Even certain furniture brings back memories such as the Billy book case. Those were the days back in the 80’s, my girls [...]

To change our Sunday habit we went into Amsterdam, for some weekend shopping and a lunch. Ever since last December (2007) when I got horrible service in every shop I went to, Dolce & Gabbana apart, I have made a solemn vow not to set my foot on PC Hooftstraat, the luxury shopping street of [...]

I woke up this morning way to early. It should be considered a carnal sin for the postman to ring on the door before 9. Just as we decided to continue our beauty sleep the second parcel delivery was at the door. Cute! The whole house was awake and in particular one very annoyed husband. [...]

After the mouse incident, Victoria and I headed into town. It’s her last week of holiday and I want to take all the opportunity to spend some quality time together.  Recently a new boutique opened up not far from where I live. I was pleasantly surprised to realise that it was a genuine vintage store, [...]
