A day in the name of Sture

More than often a girl needs everything, and what better way to serve this need than to go to a place where one can find everything? Right in the heart of town, by Stureplan, I decided to enjoy a day with a little of everything!

Inga taking a swimThe shopping mall of Sturegallerian is one of my firm favourites, with a wide selection of great stores, both well known and smaller designer boutiques. It’s so easy to lose track of time in here, especially when wandering around the stores with some friends. When we went here recently however, we made sure we wouldn’t lose track of our time. We immediately went to the bathing facilities of Sturebadet that lie within the mall. Here we booked ourselves up for some nice treatments during the afternoon. They offer great massages, facial treatments, body, feet, and anything else one could possibly require from a good spa. Once you’ve had your treatment, a nice little swim in the pool is dearly recommended. We had a fantastic time, even though we cut our shopping spree short of several hours. And once we were done at Sturebadet, we decided to treat ourselves to some more of the Sture-hospitality found around here. Just outside, with a fabulous outdoor seating towards Stureplan, we soon found ourselves sipping white wine spritzers at Sturehof. The food by the way is equally divine.

Hoping your days are as good as mine!

Shop till you drop

I recently discovered that one of the most revered, respected, and well-recognised Swedish design items carries an entire world beyond the store where it is supposed to serve its purpose. The item? The plastic IKEA bag of course!

Inga at DrottninggatanThis bag is amazing when it comes to its carrying capabilities! Usually I’ll be visiting my home at least once during my shopping days, just to offload some bags so I can keep on going. But ever since I brought my newly purchased oversized plastic bag from IKEA, I can make an entire days worth of shopping all go down into one single bag. Impressive, I know! It might not be the most stylish artefact I have been known to carry, but at least it’s Swedish design in its most true shape and colours. Let me tell you about the other day: In a single bag-carrying-shopping-spree I managed to first visit every store there is in NK, then the same in the other huge department store; Åhléns. Then I went passed Sturegallerian, a large mall-like place next to Stureplan. After that I just happened to meet some friends so we went for drinks. You should have seen the looks I got when everyone saw the stuff I had in my bag! After that I managed to stroll along Drottninggatan right from the bottom to the top of the hill. This street is paved with stores. First I only looked at, and entered, stores on the west side of the street. Then I went all the way back again and did the east side. It was one of the best days of my life. Shame my shoulder seems to be aching.

Lots and lots of love
