Shopping for clothes

Today Mikaela and I ventured to Liljeholmen, where Mikaela had ordered a new pair of glasses. They arrived today, so Mikaela picked them up; they're Alan Mikli, brownish and very nice. Frederic met us at the optician's, and looked very tired; he had extreme problems sleeping last night. Fortunately, our neighbour is still in hospital - even though I wish for his speedy recovery, his brother still says he will most probably not return.

After Mikaela had her glasses adjusted, we left for town. We checked out åhléns where Frederic bought Zihr Clean (despite hearing that 4Voo is a very trendy brand) and Mikaela got tips on a specific type of lipstick. We then went to Hamngatan where we had Libanese fast-food; it was fair and helped us to move on to NK where I very nearly bought a bloody good-looking shirt at Paul & Friends. I'm happy I didn't. Read on.

We had water, bananas, ice-cream (well, I did), coffee; careened, veered and at last fitted ourselves snugly in at Tjallamalla, one of the best retailers of clobber in Stockholm. Their concept is very good: they proffer well-made, exquisite clothes by up-and-coming designers, often available in very limited quantities, and also very select second-hand clothes They've recently opened a web-shop and as I just wrote, mind that their physical shop contains loads more, due to the beforementioned fact. Mikaela found herself a lovely dress that she bought (while she asked the owners to stow away a jacket) and I found a beautiful, brown leather jacket that I'll more than likely get tomorrow...when Mikaela and I will return to Tjallamalla to check out what we had stowed away for us. Moaha! New clobber.
