Moments of Beauty

Prettiness and a sense of fun aren't necessarily exclusive — love the unexpected note of playfulness of the polka dot stockings and bright red pompom shoes.

Collector's Edition

The lovely home of decorator Mia Lundström, located in the bay outside Helsingborg (Sweden) is a comfortable mix of antiques, Ikea finds, '50s classics and a few playful touches of kitsch here and there, too — a wonderful example of a modern home with lots of personality. So liveable and pretty. More photos here, too. Via Sköna hem.
