Blog a la Cart

Maja is the very talented, very crazy, very magnificent Swedish bombshell that designed my wedding dress. She and I are kindred spirits. And, yes, I trust her impeccable taste so very much that I had her design and make my wedding dress from across the Atlantic. I, in California. She, in Sweden.

I saw the dress for the first time three days before the actual wedding.

The Swedish and Moi

As Dory would say, “Trust. It’s what friends do.”

And yes, that would be Finding Nemo I’m quoting. Do I not live with a two and a half year old?

Anyway, since I’m biffles with a fashion designer, I’m fortunate to receive a package of goodies designed by her hands around this time of year. Everything from dresses, to bags, to tops, to scarves have found their way into my wardrobe thanks to Maja and her line PINELLAPI (she’s doing the bag thing in a big and awesome way right now).

She freelances for H&M and the Scandanavian children’s clothing company, moonkids. In her package that arrived yesterday, two beanies for the girls were tucked inside. While I went out to dinner with a friend, James made a thank you video for Maja. Because when we’re overwhelmed with things to do, he and I tend to turn to timesucks like photography and video to really procrastinate the actual work at hand that must be done.

I guess you could call me and Jamesy kindred spirits, too.
