It been about over a month since I last wrote something! Crazy. Or maybe not. Because during that time I have:

Started on a new educational program: International Buyer

Started on the entrepenurial course at PricewaterhouseCooper and found a "fashionmaffia" which I meet up with once a week to talk fashionbusiness.

Found an excellent supplyer for my new brand

Relaunched a huge fashionsite, www.fashionway.se, where I've hired new staff, managed a new site, started 3 new blogs and somehow, had time to drink tons of coffee. (I'm both the Editor-in-chief and projectmanager for Fashionway)

Had total sellthrough on my cocktaildresses and obi-belts at House of Eco (Ekovaruhuset) in Stockholm. They sold so fast they called me within a month, desperately wanting more of them! (it felt kind of crazy but fun.)

I've also:

Cleaned out two apartments and moved two times (two apartments)

Got a new iPhone 3GS

Bought new cocktaildresses

Watch three seasons of Smallville (why?!)

Started Couple-Workout with my James Dean as I don't have time to go to the gym anymore. (workouts based on a couple working out together, using each other as personal trainers basically.)

Said goodbye to three friends moving abroad.

Promise I will start to update more often!

Have you had a great month? Tell Fröken Rhodin!

Remember me writing about my applications for YEoS and a businessprogram for female entrepeneur with promising ideas?

Somehow, this has been like "Official Accept Fröken Rhodin-month".

1. I got into the international buyers program.
2. More stores than I could ever imagen has taken in or is about to start selling both my jewelryline and my fashionline (the precollections A/W 09).
3. YEoS (Young Entrepeneurs of Sweden) wants to schedule a second interview next week.
4. And I got the businessprogram for promising female entrepeneurs!
5. I found a fantastic businesspartner for my other company
6. A secret fashionsite is interested in having me as a projectmanager, updating their image.

It's so overwhelming I don't really know how to celebrate except blogging, drinking iced soyalatte and working on a saturday..

And oh, did I mention I'm supposed to fit in fashionweek and a hysterical amount of production to do while also looking for a new apartment/studio? It's really, really extra crazy right now. But it'll stabalise when summer turns into autumn.

Got great news today. my distributor of silver seems to be able to make the deadline. It feels great. I just want to praise him. Also I'm very proud of my designerassistant/personal assistant this week, as she's done a great job! Easy to work with, eager to learn and she always seems to be on the same track as me! It's a joy to work with her!

Next week is hard work in the studio and alot of meetings with journalists and other contacts I want to work with on a new project. (I know, as if I didn't have enough of projects). As it's storming worse than in Rihannas "Umbrella" I've desided to give you a fashionspread today for rainy days. Enjoy!

These week have been hectic but this one beats all. Been at the studio working with my assistant for morning until late evening (for me that's around 9-11 pm). Sewing, ordering new fabrics, delegating tasks and answering the phone at the same time. But we've had a lot of fun!

This collection is all Made in Sweden and all in eco-fabrics.

Ofcourse, the silkband-entwined bracelets and Swarowski-pearl earrings that you love will come in the same luxurious summercolours! Are you ready for the summer cocktailparties? I know I am.

There is an important part of being a achiever and career-chaser that most forget. Be satisfied and happy with what you've got. Because if you don't have the confidence to love your current self and your current life, you won't either when you achieve those high stake-goals that you painted on your bedroom ceiling. 

I believe that an important part in being successful is to learn the trick to be happy and satisfied. I've worked every sunday the last year and I still manage to be happy sunday afternoon. Because when I'm tired sunday morning after a dinner or party with friends, I remember just that, I'm tired because I had a great time with friends last night and didn't want to go home.

Keeping good moments in life, and remembering them by photos, texts you wrote about it, emails, postcards or textmessages will keep you off the victim-thoughts. To keep some kind of order, the best thing is to have a Happybox. That should be full with all your fun and proud moments.

Thinking you are the victim of (your own!) actions is the most destructive force in life. This is what keeps great people in a loop of unhappiness and unsatisfaction. You decide everything in you life, because you decide what you reaction and actions will be. This also mean that it's you who let yourself be in a loveless relationship or an underpaid job. Only you can change your life, actions and reactions. I can for example, only inspire you.

Well, I will continue on this subject later. Now I've got a breakfast meeting with my assistant.

When you have tons of to-do items blinking away like a rave-party in your cellphone, writingpads full of idéas and a computer who seems to swallow just about anything in you inbox, it can sometimes feel like the neverending story.

But those other days... When you just run around checking off your lists, calling all the contacts you need and getting a positive answer, recieving excellent suggestions from friends, know you have a wonderful dinner with close ones to look forward to...

You know, all that marvelous stuff that makes you time drop to zero faster than the Niagara falls. Those kinds of days when getting brilliant ideas on the subway makes you almost spill your take-away coffee on the next passanger of pure excitement. I love those days.

The energy, the rush, the pressed timetable, it all makes me feel like having a Straight Flush in my hands.

Today I've managed to squeeze in a fast meeting downtown with the Nobel NghtCap Committee, handed over my application for a international buyers training in person at the business school, printing tickets to an event I've planned for a birthday and now I'm getting prepared for a dinnermeeting with a possible assistant.

Have you done something you are particularly proud of today?

Write and tell me all about it!
