I am Swedish and she is truly my icon. I carry a little cloth doll version of her as my keychain (I got it at Vimmerby - Pippiland). People always comments on it and as a loud, opinionated rebel, I find it reassuring that EVERYONE LOVES PIPPI, despite the fact she never obeys the adults.

Yes, H&M cuts huge compared to French and Spanish bramds, especially cheap ones. I grew up with H&M since I am Swedish and they always cut big because, well, Northern Europeans are bigger. Half the stuff in Zara I can barely get on! In H&M I am a small and still return stuff for being too big.

Actually, it was completely, utterly in the bin when he got hold of it. Many of the old “maisons” never got revived, sadly.

Balmain is usually in sizes 000, 00, 0, 2, 4, and fat girl 6. H&M generally cuts big. How did they compromise on that, I wonder....

Her skin!! That is skin only the ultra rich have. You can keep the boats and cars, I just want skin like that.

I think there is a fight somewhere with two parties so this auditor is more of a mediator.

Because they are such shite quality, they won’t last longer than a month.

Thank you. My kids are tweenies and raised in Germany. They know EVERYTHING about the ovens, et al. They whisper “Hitler” and can barely get the words out. Germany today is way more complex than people think.

My former assistant has worked at the Dior design studios for 3 years and she says it is bloody awful. Worse than other places we worked

You forgot Sweden and its glorious representation of women on money. Selma Lagerlöf was recently replaced by Astrid Lindgren - #PIPPILÅNGSTRUMP4LIFE

I just don’t get this. Maybe I am unusually intermational but why can’t they just do a semester in Monaco and do a semester in NY/LA? Both places have bilingual schools. Plus, the kids were small, were they even in school?? The most common is school in one country, all vacations in another. Then alternate primary…

Oh yeah, it is popular for nails. How ‘bout sniffing while repairing?!

Sniffing, maybe??

There is a whole world of people out there just waiting to meet you. Go find them. Find your new people.

YES. My girls are only 10 and according to my therapists, I am absolutely a normal mom. I love my kids dearly but sometimes I just need a break. The girls fight and I am sick of being the policeman. They don’t do homework, then cry when they get a bad grade. One just wants to shop 24/7. They don’t take care of their…

For me, when I got married, I finally realised I had a lot of terrible friends. One person loving me entirely changed everything.

When I got married and had babies, I threw out like 70% of my friends. I get misty from time to time but my life got exponentially better when I got rid of those “friends”. Took a couole years, but ten years later, I am certain that my friends are truly that.

Absolutely agree.

Seriously. I get hit on so much but I am so dissatisfied with my body that I can’t go out on a date at all. I have crushes on total idiots so nothing will happen and I don’t have to take my clothes off. :-(

You are really beautiful. With or without makeup.
