Fashionweek med Venti Nove!




Venti Nove är Veckans Butik. Förra veckan följde jag med Bibbi och Annette från Venti Nove till Köpenhamn till en av Europas mest populära modemässa, CIFF. Den är utspridd över hela Köpenhamn på flera olika platser, där var och en har sin egen stil. På Bella Center hittar du barnkläder och de mer etablerade märken som Masai och Oui ihop med de nya mindre märkena. På Terminal 2 där fanns Streetwear med några av de trendigaste märken som Primeboots och Parajumpers. Øksnehallen Hus erbjöd de mer kvinnliga märkena såsom Hunky Dory, Valerie, Ilse Jacobsen, Branting, etc. Och slutligen Gallery där du hittar de mer etablerade märkena som Twin Set , Day och By Malene Birger och inte så etablerade märken som Please eller NuuBee.

Det var ett nöje att följa Bibbi och Annette på deras ”tour” så jag kunde se hur proffsen gör det. Några möten var bokade, andra var bara tillfälliga. ”Nyckeln till en lyckad mässa är att veta vad din budget är och hålla fast vid den. Om du tar in ett nytt varumärke, betyder det att du måste släppa något annat." Säger Bibbi.

Oftast har butiken redan bestämt vilken kollektion som skall köpas in före mässan, men detta är en möjlighet för vissa att se samlingarna för första gången, att känna på tyger, att se färger och även ta reda på om det finns variationer från de första proverna till slutprodukten.

Dag ett, var vi på
Hunky Dory för ett inköpsmöte. För mig var det mycket trevligt eftersom Hunkydory är ett av mina favoritmärken. Kollektionen för hösten 2011 innehöll naturligtvis deras fantastiska stickade blusar i bomull men de hade också några underbara skinnbyxor, blazrar och jackor. Färgerna för hösten var armé, kamel, brun, marin / marin melange, grå, ljus gråbrun / rosa och naturligtvis svartvitt. Det var svårt att bestämma sig för vilka, men jag kan försäkra er, hösten kommer att fyllas med fantastiska kläder och tröjor som kommer att bli "måsten" för din garderob.

Bibbi och Annette uppmanades att deltaga i champagne lunchen för Hugo Boss modevisning, vilket alltid är spännande. Känns nästan som Paris!

Vi spontan besökte också Valerie som designar vackra klänningar och lite mer uppklätt för arbete eller fest. Deras färger, texturer och mönster var så fantastiska och levande att det påminde mig om hemma i Toronto. En annan designer som är på upp är Ester Elenora. De har ull scarfs trimmade med spetsar som du säkert har sett kvinnor bära på denna vinter runt om i Sverige.

Dag två började vi på
Twin Set - ett italienskt märke som kombinerar klassiska linjer och färger med en ”twist”. Deras klänningar har vardagliga stilar, lite vintage inspiration och variationer på den lilla svarta klänningen som alla måste ha i garderoben för sista minuten rendevouz eller en middag. Twin Set hade prover av varje stil men till skillnad från Odd Molly, hade de inte varje stil i alla färger. "Du lär dig att se bortom färgen”, säger Bibbi. Bara ett tränat öga och riktigt professionella kan klara detta.

Venti Nove som funnits i 20 år säljer allt från vardagskläder till klänningar för alla tillfällen till mödrar, döttrar och alla de som söker bra stil och kvalitet i Göteborgsområdet. Hennes kunder som inte längre bor i Göteborg är så glada att de nu kan handla hos Venti Nove.

Glöm inte att det är Alla Hjärtans Dag och att vår butik
Kardemumma har fantastisk choklad och kärlekspåsar för dina älsklingar eller varför inte smycken från några av våra andra butiker på Fabulous Living.

A new logo for my car!!!!



Finally my car gets the new look of Fabulous Living Shopping Gallerian. The old logo, although very nice, had it's time. The new sheriff is in town and now we mean business. Look for us when we are driving around Sweden and don't hesitate to say hi or honk your horns!

Columbus Hotel


If you want to stay in Stockholm in the quaint area if Södermalm but don't want to spend a lot of money on hotels or want something a little more personal and off the main street - the Columbus Hotel is a great spot.

It is a small and personal hotel situated in a building from 1780. The location is quiet and peaceful, without disturbing traffic, and with the beautiful Katarina Church as their nearest neighbour.

The rooms have comfortable beds, high ceilings and period style decor. There is a lovely outdoor terrace/courtyard where you can eat meals or just relax and read the paper.

It sets a good stage for bringing in new boutiques to the Gallerian. Stil & Trend inredning from Falkenberg went live. Check it out!!!

Spring is in the air


What a relief to feel temperatures above 0!!!! Canada Goose parkas can now go back in the closet and spring coats can be donned.

It's fortunate that our boutiques are carrying such great spring clothes. Why not buy something for yourself or for that special someone!!!

My job is super fun to find new stores with beautiful products, to meet with boutique owners who have a passion for what they are doing and to be tempted to replenish my wardrobe :-)

Life is grand!

On the road back to Göteborg after a good visit to Stockholm, once again in snow chaos. Thank goodness we have a good 4 wheel drive car. We visited some of our current stores and met with some new potential butiks. I wish I could say more about them, but it's too early.
However, I did get confirmation today that London W8 which is Simon & Tomas' Design store will join us in the Gallerian. They will start off selling their Environmentally friendly British paint from Farrow & Ball. This is a fantastic paint which I have used myself for years. The bonus part is if you watch their show you can get free help on combining colours and see how they look in different environments.

While we have been away, the little mice at the office have been busy and now Pure & Simple is live for shopping. Not only do they have wonderful and fabulous products, their pictures are fantastic to look at! Check them out at Fabulous Living Shopping Gallerian.

A week in the life....


Building an online shopping galleria takes a lot more work than one can ever count on. But I guess that goes with anything that we jump into whole heartedly. When we become passionate about what we do it doesn't feel like work.


This past week Louise and I went up to Stockholm to help Kiddies take pictures and get ready to go live with some of their products. On our way up there was snow chaos again. We got re-routed just before Södertälje. When we got back on the highway we put on the GPS to help us get to Ingarö where we were staying. Somehow this GPS did not want us to be on the highway and kept telling us to get off. So here we were 11 pm driving through the rural area outside of Stockholm wondering what was going on. Once we found the highway again we turned off the GPS and used our intuition to find our way. We were successful!!! The next day I checked the GPS settings and to our surprise it accidently got set to "avoid major routes". Lesson learned.


Spending the day with Kiddies in their Sickla Köpkvarter store is always enjoyable. The clothes are great and each picture I take I think how nice it will be for everyone who is looking for something nice for their children to wear. Clothes from Ralph Lauren, Gant, Noa Noa, Il Petit Bateau, Pepe Jeans and tons of shoes including UGG's from Australia. They're so cozy that I think I will have to get a pair for myself!


On our way back down to Göteborg we stopped at Valhalla Bakery again so get some more of their fantastic Italian bread. It has to be at least 1 meter long! That's a lot of sandwiches.

Snow blitz

On a snowy Stockholm morning we met with Tomas at London W8 Interiors Boutique which he and Simon own. We were there to get things going for their olive oil boutique called A l'Olivier which was mentioned in yesterday's blog. We were greeted by their very friendly Jack Russel, Pooter, who wanted all the attention. But business had to be conducted and our attention went to Tomas. Their store is incredibly beautiful with fantastic products for your home. And maybe some time soon London W8 will join us.... (fingers crossed)


After leaving London W8 we went to visit our smallest boutique, Lollipuppies who is in the middle of creating and sewing her new spring collection for children. I wanted to get a sneak preview of the new collection but as a true artist/designer it was not to be revealed yet. Like us you too will have to wait a little while longer. Lollipuppies had a busy Christmas with a lot of new customers and she


Lastly before leaving we went to another great café just around the corner from Lollipuppies called Vurma. They have such delicious soups and salads there. The chickpea soup came with a sandwich on dark danish style bread, cream cheese, peppers and a drizzle of pesto. After that we were ready to face the snow chaos of the Siberian-like landscape with cars in ditches all the way back to Gothenburg!

A celebrity day

Our second day in Stockholm has been as good as our first. Today A l'Olivier from, Stockholm joined us. A l'Olivier is what the name suggests, a store that sells specialty olive oil. It is a French company which started in 1822 in Paris. In the fall 2008 Tomas Cederlund and Simon Davies (TV designers Simon & Tomas) opened the store on Grev Turegatan in Östermalm.

We have been eating at great restaurants and cafés - among our favorites Ristorante Capri, Ciao Caio Grande both in Östermalm and our favourite café in Södermalm called Mellqvist Kaffebar. It just so happens that one of the Stig Larsson trilogy movies was filmed here - Flickan som lekte med elden. When we watched the movie we were happily surprised to see our favourite spot.

Then to top it off, we have been staying at a great Bed & Breakfast which is run by another celebrity, TV Chef - Kråke Lithander. Now she has a Bed & Breakfast website called Days In Sweden where you can find and book B&B's in Sweden and abroad www.daysinsweden.com.

Stockholm quest continues...

Such as great city with so many interesting boutiques. Every time you drive down a different street you find a new store to explore. But there must be more than Stockholm. There has to be stores that offer something different in other cities.

It would be great to get tips from people living in cities apart from Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö. Send in your tips!!!
