PALEA

HOME / AWAY

2011-05-16T01:49:00.003+02:00

I'm on Tumblr now, with mostly photos & short texts. It feels better, doesn't make me feel guilty for not blogging so much. I think I'll keep this blog though, mostly for the links to my favourite blogs, but also, there might be some time when I'll want to write a longer, more personal text. Then I'll do it here.

Also, in 11 days I'm going to Southeast Asia, so the Tumblr will probably function as my travel diary.

Follow me, please?

THEA

2011-05-14T12:34:00.001+02:00

my morning view from bed...now adays I don't have to move to have access to internet, I'll just stay in bed all day

I finally got Thea!
yes, I already namned my iPhone...my new, white, iphone..love love love it!
and I guess this means there will be more blogging here too, with pictures to come with it..perhaps perhaps.
but I'm honestly thinking about changing to Tumblr and start blogging there instead, or maybe just for the Asia-trip, we'll see

Today I've got loads to do...I'm off now for a vintage/flea-market-trip, then back home to prepare food and a rhubarb-cake for tonight! barbeque in my backyard!

LIFE

2011-05-11T19:42:00.000+02:00

I'm sorry, it's just so sunny outside these days. I've been waking up in the morning, going straight to gym for some Yoga & i Balance-classes, and then I've been off to the park, laying for hours...reading, looking, enjoying to the fullest...

here's a better picture of a dress I bought some weeks ago at H&M! love it.

WEEK

2011-05-08T22:58:00.003+02:00

sorry blog,
i've been neglecting you this last week.
life has been completely busy, and the week has been filled with schoolwork, shopwork, barwork, time for friends...and no time for myself. I've been at home for an hour at a time, never time to rest. I was even so stressed I left my stove on, for 14 hours!! that could've ended badly..

anyway, the week is finished now. not really how I imagined it to finish, but hey, if it happened..it was ment to be! or rather not ment to be...
I'm starting a new, better week tomorrow, with yoga at 9 o 'clock in the morning..

I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE...iPHONE

2011-05-03T16:44:00.003+02:00

I really don't like materialistic people, but Man am I one of them sometimes. I think we all are, and as long as I know what right & what' not, I allow myself to get REALLY happy when

I GOT A BRAND NEW WHITE iPHONE!

yes, I know everybody's been having iPhones for years and years, but I've still been going retro with my mobilephone since 2008..it works, and I can send messages with it, which is pretty much what I do..up until now..I'm gonna become one of those annoying people, sitting with their phones, and apps and games and whatnot...

the worst thing is I even ordered a white one, which I'll have to wait for, for 2-3 weeks, and the black one I couldv'e gotten in 2-3 days!..I hope it will arrive before I'm off to Indonesia!

SWIMWEAR 2011

2011-05-01T23:28:00.002+02:00

Bali is coming up, 26 days to go...can't believe it!!
anyway, swimwear is an important thing to bring, right?
there are sooo many nice ones at anthropology
PLEASE somebody get me those floral/pink ones..they'r eonly €108 each :)

really like those 50's style-panties & I got myself a pair of black ones, from work, Monki

PLEASE BE MINE

2011-04-30T21:45:00.001+02:00

As if a miracle happened, tonight, I finally realized the beauty of Veronica Maggios songs..
I alwas thought I hated her music, but I think I just never gave it a chance.
This might be my new favourite song, the lyrics are amazingly beautiful,

MONKI MAKES ME CRAZY

2011-04-29T17:33:00.002+02:00

hey guys...
bad, bad blogging lately,
just haven't had time at all
right now there's alot going on in my mind;
work x2, school, love, Walpurgis, Bali, friends and "unfortunately" most of all : shopping

I say unfortunately because it's unfortunate for my economy, though my warderobe is happy (though space-öess)...I don't know what happened, but the last couple of days I've been spending way too much money on stuff & mostly clothes..
though on tuesday I will get 50% back, as we have a staff-shopping-day at work, and most things I bought are from our shop...there are so many nice things instore right now, here are SOME that I got from work, Monki!

DAYS LIKE THESE

2011-04-25T19:15:00.012+02:00

wow, what a weekend, what a day, what an easter.
the weather has been crazy! it's really been summer-warm during the days.

Yesterday after work, me & mum went to Folkets park with 2 bottles of wine, 2 bags of chips & 2 big plates of falafel with fries and veg. we kind of didn't know how drunk we were until we stood up to leave..Dominique joined us at the end. then mom left and me and dominique sat outside at debaser with some of the staff, until after closing-time..
nice!

today Rosa left, and after that I met up with Anna by the water. sunbathed for a couple of hours, got sweaty & tanned, and then we went buying some pic-nic & joined her some of her friends & their friends in another park...we even had Corona with lime...life's good, days like these..

KITCHEN

2011-04-23T00:07:00.003+02:00

my apartment is taking form, little by little.
it's soon gonna be 6 months since I moved to this apartment, my first own one...6 months
that means it's also 6 months since...yeah..
that's quite a long time...

today we put up a new shelf in the window, a shelf for my herbs & plants which are already growing fast! I also put up 2 shelves by the table, for random stuff like tea-tins (didn't know I had that many!!)...

pictures are coming soon..

also, I really love this poster by Johan Thurfjell,
I'm gonna by it at the modern museeum, and put it up somewhere, perhaps in the kitchen.

for those of you who don't speak swedish it talks about how " I will always love you and I'm sticking with that now that I'm letting you go"

Beautiful, no?

THE LOVE

2011-04-21T20:37:00.000+02:00

He's a pretty nice boy
But he doesn't have a lot to say
He's a pretty nice boy
But he changes from day to day

I want to tell him that I love him a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
He's a pretty nice boy
Someday I'm going to make him mine, oh yeah
Someday I'm going to make him mine

BOHEMIAN INTERIOR

2011-04-20T16:21:00.000+02:00

just found a realy inspiring blog - bohemian interior, my passion!

love it.

THE BUFFET

2011-04-19T22:39:00.000+02:00

random pictures from last week...had a DELICIOUS vegan china-buffet, and on the first pic you can see my newly bought jacket & dress! you like?

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

2011-04-19T16:26:00.000+02:00

yesterday I finally saw one of Rob Pattinsons new movies, water for elephants.

Don't know how many of you have read this blog for so long, that you'd know my crazy obsession with Rob. Yes, like a 14year old girl, I'm dreaming about him to be the father of my babies, the groom at my wedding, the man of my life...you get the point...
actually..it was more before than now..up until this movie (and since the last twilight-movie) I had just accepted that he's pretty much the hottest guy on earth, and...that's nice..

but man, you have to see this movie. it's beautiful, sexy, horrible, sad & just...great!!

it's times like these, that I'm doubting my choice of studying photography next year, and not film..well film was my second choice, so I'll just let fate have it's way...

SONG FOR VICTORIA

2011-04-19T00:00:00.003+02:00

oh sweetness of music!
this is the song my dear friend Dominique wrote for my birthday..it's part of his lovesong-project wich you can listen & read more about here

THE BRUNCH

2011-04-18T03:40:00.000+02:00

Yesterday me & 6 friends went out for brunch at a café in town. That's one of the best things with almö, almost every restaurant & café have brunch during the week-ends. The one we went to was great, they had sooo many delicious things, and we stayed for hours, finally rolling back home with our bellies full of nutella, pancakes, croissants, tortellinis, salmon and what not.

ROSAS VISIT

2011-04-18T00:08:00.002+02:00

some of the first days with Rosa .

more pics coming soon (sorry for slow updates)

FRIENDS

2011-04-11T01:01:00.002+02:00

Amanda left today, but before she left, we enjoyed a supernice brunch at Johannas place. She had made blueberry pancakes for us, with strawberries..pictures coming up!

Tomorrow Rosa's arriving, my best friend from Germany, and I can't believe she's finally coming to Sweden...we've been planning this for a year now, and she's already talking a bit swedish!
so if there won't be alot of updating here, you'll know why..I'll be busy showing her around Malmö!

DILEMMA!

2011-04-09T01:23:00.002+02:00

So, I have a dilemma...
should I paint the white part (in the middle) golden or orange?

I know which one I WANT it to be, but it's not the same as the one i SHOULD paint it in...
help me, please?
orange or gold?
orange or gold?
orange or gold?

orange?

gold?

AMANDA'S VISITING

2011-04-09T00:39:00.007+02:00

sorry, haven't been posting in a while, since I've got a friend in town. Amanda, whom I first met when me & Johanna moved into the same apartment as her in Barcelona. Later on me & Amanda moved to London, and the lats year she's been living in Oslo, so we haven't met alot. Now she's here in Malmö, visiting me & Johanna, and it's been great!

ART COLOR LOVE PATTERNS

2011-04-05T17:28:00.002+02:00

This is exactly the kind of art that inspires me, and makes my creativity flow. colours, patterns..and the best thing of all - the wood! I love painting on material which would not be expected to be painted on. Usually I paint on cardboardboxes or anything I can find.
re-use is good use!

artist: Richard Pearse

INSPIRATION

2011-04-04T22:54:00.003+02:00

My throat hurts & I just want somebody to come and take care of me, make me tea & scones, and watch a movie...but no, I had to bake my cookies alone! and they're soon finished!

a friend sent me a link to a CRAZY inspirational website, with the exact stuff that I like...interior design and such..have a look

oh. my. dear. lord.

I don't know if you guys know how much I love russian dolls. I do, loads!
I collect them, and have a tattoo as well, but this poster would just complete my collection a little bit more.
If somebody loves me enough to get this poster for me: johanna@aprillaprill.se
23 euros.
please?

HAIR

2011-04-03T23:27:00.002+02:00

colored my hair today. I've been wanting to do it for a long time, but never dared..found a special haircolor for my type of hair , and for dark hair too..
but the result wasnt as good as I hoped for..it's still about the same as before, but it was supposed to be copper/dark reddish brown...
I can see a really small change, a bit lighter, and a shade of red, I think it would show if the sun shone straight on, but otherwhise I doin't think anybody else will notice.
Think I'll do it again, as it's a bit lighter now, the haircolor will probably stick more next time
don't have a picture right now either, but don't know if it would show any difference anyhow...

YANN TIERSEN

2011-04-02T16:46:00.002+02:00

mm, sweet, sweet weekend.
yesterday me, Anna, Johanna & sofie went to the season's opening of Debaser's beergarden...man, did I miss that one. And now it totally feels like spring. People were happy, drunk, good looking...great! looking forward to many long nights there this summer...the only bad thing is they changed the menu, and now everything is much more expensive..

anyway, was checking the calendar for the spring at Debaser, this morning. and at one point I almost stopped breathing.
Someone I've been waiting to see for 8 years is gonna play at Debaser the 26th of May. this someone is Yann Tiersen, and is a great , french composer who did the music for Amélie from Montmartre, Goodbye Lenin, and pother movies...I CAN'T WAIT!!
after that, I can finally die happy, having seen all of my top 5 musicians, live.

Also, I'm soooo happy me & Johanna decided to book our Bali tickets for the 27th of May, and not for the 26th as we were thinking of doing, at first. Don't know if I could ever forgive me if we had done it...well, Bali isn't too bad either, really

And I think I'm doing pretty well
cleaning, packing & looking after the blueberry-pie in the oven.
Gonna bring it to Anna in an hour for her birthday-thingy, with blankets on the floor and nice eatable stuff that people will bring...
early tomorrow morning I'm off to Gothenburg, so this is probably the lats post for a while, I'm back on friday afternoon, in time for the premiere of the beergarden at Debaser!

TIREDNESS

2011-03-26T19:54:00.004+01:00

I.am.Le.tired!

alot!

after working today (which went pretty fast, working with nice girls and lots of customers), I had a nice sit-down and a baked potatoe together with Dominique..I even resisted the blueberry-pie, eventhough I've lately gotten an obsession for blueberries..think I'm gonna bake one during the weekend though..Anna has her birthday on monday and we're probably gonna have a picnic on her livingroomfloor, so a blueberry-pie would work for that

anyway, after that, I had to go fetch my bike which my friend sent to me from my hometown..it landed at the specia-postoffice in an industrial part of the town, where I never want to go back to alone..freezing, changing buses, having no idea where to go, and finally find the postplace, but not the bike....and then I did...then I just had to find my way all the way back home, in the cold, but with the sun shining, and making it quite a nice ride anyway...

I deserve some chocolate now, right?

DESTINATION UNKNOWN

2011-03-25T21:05:00.003+01:00

wow, am I good at spending money on food or what?
came back from the supermarket with 2 bags, and 36 euros less..I am ONE person in this household, still I eat for 2!
anyway, my kitchen is stuffed with all kinds of delicious stuff, cause of course they had extra-cheap prices on all that, and of course, I had to buy it.

It's gonna be a quiet Friday for me, but I'm enjoying it. some good food, good tv, and later on maybe painting a bit..working tomorrow, and after that seeing Dominique for some coffee (and waffles I hope, since it's the waffle-day today! LOVE waffles!)
will also try to get to the place where my bicycle has been sent by my friend back in Linköping..it's just that it's reeeally far away from where I live, and oh man...I do need some excercise..

oh also, I kind of already finished my home-exam...it's not supposed to be sent in, until 5th of april so I'm kind of having a frickin' vacation now! was thinking about travelling somewhere next week..london, paris, barcelona..but no, if I'll go somewhere it'll be gothernburg, I have some friends there which I havent seen for long. Also, it's better if I save the money until Bali, and for the summer..cause it's gonna be awesome!

so long!

FRIENDS

2011-03-24T17:56:00.003+01:00

It is a bit sad when you realize you're not interested anymore.
you like the thought of it, and you'd like to be
but
the image you've created, but in reality, you noticed, it's not really true.

anyway, yesterday evening was brilliant.
my apartment got filled with people from allover, I thin we , at some point were 11 or 12 people in here. The atmosphere was flawless, cozy and warm..like it should be, and like it's been the last couple of months with me & my friends. Looking forward to the summer, which I'm pretty sure, will be one of the best ones I've had.

CRASH

2011-03-22T23:29:00.003+01:00

beautiful photos here

sometimes I'm ultra-platina-blond-minded.
today I panicked when I tthought my computer had just crashed. I tried pushing different bottons, taking the battery out, and putting it in again...stuff like that..
great, just when I need to write my home-exam...
then I saw it, as so many times before,
the plug wasn't where it should've been...which is - in the computer..duh!

other than that, fabulous day,
it's been 14 degrees celsius according to my classmate, and I don't doubt it.
Malmö is a very windy city, and those cold winds can surely kill you , at least that's how it feels everytime the wind comes beneath your jacket, even your skin.
But today, the wind was warm...lukewarm, and wonderful!
tomorrow again! please!

TROUSERS

2011-03-20T18:01:00.002+01:00

haven't written in a while, been busy working & trying to pack up the rest of the boxes in the apartment. not finished yet, but they're getting less and less..

yesterday was a great night out, starting with me and Kerstin, eating mushroom-pasta here, drining some wine and whatnot. talking about self-images & how others see you, the difference which is always so big.

then we headed to Far i hatten, a bar/restaurant in the middle of a park, where I've always wanted to go. it was so great and cozy, and it felt like a cottage in the swedish archipelago...mm, my new favourite place and summer-hang out to be!
Also met Kerstins friend Anna there, who I instantly bonded with pretty well..love to meet new people who are awesome!
Dominique, Jonatan & their friend (sorry..kalle?) came aswell, and we had a couple of beers, and listened to the WONDERFUL band playing (above):

Crying Daycare Choir! (click to listen)

the music was so great for the atmosphere, really calm and a sounded a bit like fleet foxes or mountain man...hmm

headed off to have some kind of pre-party at Jonatans place..or more like, in the corridor of his place..then to Debaser (big surprise!) and back home to Jonatan afterwards, with a gang of girls i neither liked or talked to really..I guess I was just drunk & tired, so me and Dominique left at about 5..I went home to eat my mushroom pasta, and sleep sleep sleep...nice one!

CIRKUS SALE!

2011-03-17T18:41:00.002+01:00

hey guys!
seems like I'm up for a pretty great summer, yep! that's good cause I promised myself that this year would be one of the greatest ones..like..ever!
starting off with going to Bali IMMEDIATELY after school ends (actually before school ends, but whatever)...

then as it seems now, I'll join Monki & Weekday at Cirkus sale, for 2 festivals this summer.
cirkus sale is a kind of sale-tour we do, monki & weekday where we'll be selling left over clothes for about 75-90% of the price in the stores..that's some cheap stuff!
we'll also be having a pimp-your-clothes tent and a chill-out tent with dj's...
I'll be joining for hultsfred/arvikafestivalen and Storsjöyran, up north!
really looking forward do this!

SATURDAY

2011-03-14T23:32:00.007+01:00

some pictures from saturday. This is after we've all struggled with my boxes and two couches (actually I carried the least..like always)...we enjoyed some delicious vietnamese springrolls that Dominique had made for us, drank some cheap (but quite nice!) white wine, played some of my instruments, and just had an awesome night..more of this, this spring and summer please...sitting in the middle of a minor chaos, with boxes everywhere, just made it even better

thanks, my wonderful friends <3

STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN

2011-03-14T22:42:00.000+01:00

today I threw up in the middle of the street infront of the central trainstation. isn't that weird?
I didn't even make a pause in my walking...what a view it must have been..where was my cameraman?

MATILDA

2011-03-13T22:43:00.004+01:00

some pictures from my days back in Linköping. I stayed with my friend Matilda, in her new apartment...had such a great, long, perfect, tasty & wonderful breakfast together the first morning! the second morning I had to wake up really early and get back home to Malmö!
more pictures coming..

BOXES

2011-03-13T13:07:00.001+01:00

my gosh.
I have soooooo many things.
I'm back home in Malmö after a couple of days visiting My hometown Linköping,
yesterday me and Emil, an old friend, drove down with a big trailer behind the car...
met up here with some other friends who helped me carrying all the thousands and thousands of boxes...
I just bought so many things when I was younger, only to put them in boxes and save for my very own apartment...well I have the apartment but there is not so much space, that I could fit it all in. I didn't know I bought THIS much! but there are loads of really nice vintage-stuff....
a friend gave me the idea to have a yard sale or something with the leftover things after I've tried to sort this all out...right now I can barely walk around in my apartment, it's too blocked with boxes....will show you some pics from the weekend later on!!

have a nice sunday

I'm really into this decorating/painting/interior design-thing now..
oh, just realized I got the new ELLE decor today! gonna curl up in the armchair with a big cup of tea & the magazine

on thursday I'm off to my hometown to bring back all of my stuff, it's gonna be alot..for example 2 couches, which I have no idea where I will put...and loads, loads, loads of other stuff..I' so looking forward to sorting out the boxes I've filled since I was 14, I don't remember all the beautiful things I've collected ever since I was young, until I had my very own apartment..and now I do..

I found a nice website with nice wall-stickers, wallpapers and other things.
they also ship worldwide
have a look!

I'M LEAVING ON A TRAIN

2011-03-08T16:05:00.003+01:00

wow, my apartment is so clean...that's a new experience, and I like it!
I've been cleaning for about 3 hours now, with Anja Schneider on high volume..
Had to make room for the new furniture and stuff that I'm bringing back from Linköping this weekend.

I'm actually looking forward to this weekend, there will be alot of sorting out up there, but what I'm looking forward to the most is, staying with my oldest friend (since we were 8) in her new apartment, then coming back with Emil,another friend who will help me drive the car down here and carry all the boxes and couches. some other friends are coming over to help aswell, and in the evening I'm gonna cook a dinner for them, and drink some wine, and just have a great night!

so maybe I won't be updating this blog for a few days, but hang in there..

PYTHAGORAS

2011-03-07T19:21:00.002+01:00

just had a nice bath with olive-oil and honey,
don't now if it really did something for my skin, but at least it sounds nice, no?

I'm happy, just got an answer from my landlord, as I asked him if I could paint the cupboard-doors in my kitchen, and the answer was yes!...if I do it properly and no extreme colors..
weeeell, I'm not really the girl who does things properly, and well..I was kind of thinking about aqua/light urquoise doors..is that too extreme? I don't think so, it will be great!
thinking something like this (my fabourite color) : CLICK HERE!

also, I'm thinking about some new wallpaper for a wall in the kitchen, or maybe the wall behind my bed. and I just LOVE these kind of patterns..this one (on the top of this post) is Ljungbergs, by Sven Markelius, 1952 (I think)....it reminds me so much of my favourite pillow from IKEA, and some of the paintings I've been doing lately (will show you sometime)

does anybody know where I can find something similar, a bit cheaper, or maybe there is even somebody who could make one for me?

love,
V.

MONKI

I never bought so much clothes as I'm going now, at least not from the same store. today I was wearing shoes, socks, jeans, top, cardigan and another cardigan, from Monki..
The store is getting filled with spring-garments, and honestly, I want to get them all!

here's some of the new stuff that's already in my wardrobe:

I went to the gym, voluntarily.
And even worse - I liked it!
Me & Mathilda did a step-up class, and I thought it was the perfect tempo for me, I didn't even get tired, but still I felt like I'd been moving all the time, and that it was good excercise..
So I got a card for 15 times, cause I don't want to put me up for a whole year when I'm not sure I will keep going..
anyway they have loads of classes, like afro-dance & yoga which will be the ones I'm gonna try..then I'll just gonna use the regular gym. might go tomorrow actually. I felt like I was high or something afterwards, I just got really happy..

Beach Bali 2011, I'm getting ready

AYOBA!

2011-02-28T18:49:00.004+01:00

wow,
you know, once in a while you just have those days when everything is wonderful?
during summertime, everyday can be like this, but during winter it doesn't happen as often.
today it did. this day has just put me in a really great mood, and I'm thankful for everything.

waking up , starting the day knowing I got a really good grade at the exam I was so worried about, then heading out for some spoiling-yourself-shopping. got those beautiful shoes I've been longing for (though they are very high, and will join some of those shoes which I only bought because I HAD to have them, though I'm too tall to ever use them)

I also got a nice summer-lipstick in a kind of coral-colour, and a striped, mintgreen bikini! bali , I'm so prepared for you! (actually No I'm not, I still have to get vaccine, and a silk-sleepingbag and..and..and..)

I also got stuck at the book-sales and got myself some cookbooks, because those are the kind of books I always love to look at and dream about, but they're always a bit too expensive for me..so I got one from Jamie Oliver, and then a regular, thick one, which is the kind of cookbook where you can find anything you need to know about real home-made food..it looked kind of boring so it's not in the picture...there were still so many books I'd like to get so if someone would like to surprise me , there are still "Pink", "one more slice" & "under valnötsträdet"..or the one about vietnamese food..some of them were only 4,90 euros! used to be 29!

also had a nice cuppa' tea & pastry with my dear friend Dominique. he's so wonderful!

this is the kind of day you wish you came home, and could share a really nice meal with your boyfriend or best-friend...but it won't be long until my best friend is here for a looong visit!!

well, gonna cook myself a delicious little Thai-soup with coconutmilk, lemongrass and tofu.
hope you're having a nice evening too
xx V.

summer come

2011-02-28T13:21:00.002+01:00

I'm just so amazingly happy,
last week i had the exam from hell
we were supposed to answer some questions, at home, 5 pages per question, so 10 all together. but man, after 3 pages I felt like I couldn't write anymore, and I was almost thinking about quitting school.

today I got the grades, which were the highest ones possible, with the best comments I think I've ever received on a school-work.

I'm just so happy & satisfied..

happy valentines day!

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD

2011-02-08T20:54:00.002+01:00

hey,...
just wanted to tell you that

ME & JOHANNA BOOKED OUR TICKETS TODAY!!!

27th of May we're on a plane to Bangkok, where we'll probably stay for some days, then heading on to Bali...Johanna is going back 11 days earlier than me, so after that I think I'm gonna try out some of the islands of Thailand..Koh Samui, Koh Phangan & Koh Tao...
do you guys have any advice on what do do/see, live? in bali/thailand?

JAMIE'S "SWEDISH" BLUBERRY BUNS

2011-02-05T00:34:00.003+01:00

this evening I've just had one of those nights when you crawl up in the armchair, all tucked in with a blanket, and the laptop on your knees...reading insiring blogs, looking at beautiful pictures, and watching nice videoclips & streamings..

I wish there were more of you reading this blog, cause that would make me more motivatd to do somthing about it. right now it's a mess, and so are these buns, but man, am I gonna eat them...one day..

dance

2011-02-01T20:53:00.002+01:00

alright,
what's happening with me?
I just had 2 dance-courses right after eachother, and STILL i want to go running or excercise for the first time in my life.. I DON'T EXCERCISE!

well, dance was nice..firts balett & then modern dance..think I'll keep on for a while, or I'll start going to a gym or something..this feeling is kind of nice..

CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET

2011-01-31T21:48:00.001+01:00

so I FINALLY organized my closet, wich was a kaos..
these are probably half of my clothes, or maybe even a third...and I still have "Nothing to wear"..

YOU

2011-01-30T00:23:00.001+01:00

I don't know if I can do this any longer..
walking around thinking;
I can't live another day without seeing him.

I love these blogs written by youn, funky mothers. funky? hmm, not sure about the word, but..they're pretty cool, and they seem to have beautiful homes.

SPACESHOES

2011-01-19T18:05:00.002+01:00

i know have 14 euros to live from, until next monday.
all my fault of course, but I had to stop by wor (Monki) today as our pricegroup sale has started now!! meaning: all clothes on sale are only 2-10 euros!!! even jackets and shoes!
I got 2 cardigans, 2 tops, 1 t-shirt and these shoes, and it landed around 38 euros! crazyness

these shoes are even more crazy, i don't know..I've been looking at them all autumn, but somehow they kind of make me think about goth/space...and that's not really me?
though going from 60 euros to 10 euros, I didn't really have a choice..hopefully I'll get use to the extreme pointiness, and..well...I think I like them somehow..

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

2011-01-18T23:19:00.003+01:00

2 days more, and then my 2nd semester starts. I actually made it through a whole semester, while 2 years ago I didn't think I would study again at all. well , at least I didn't know what I wanted to study..

2 years ago, hmm, what did I do back then?..
January 2009...Had come back from Barcelona in December, and was probably talking with amanda about where to go next..I think it was only in February we decided that we wanted to try out London for a while, and in March we sat on the airplane...

Life goes on, very fast, very slow..it all depends.
I really wonder what I'm doing in 2 years, or better 3...
in 2 years I probably just got back from wherever I decided to study my 5th semester (fingers crossed for Argentina), and I'll be struggling with my examination-essay/work..

whatever. one day at a time. I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow.. but now - I'm gonna eat some homemade raspberry frozen yoghurt..

BOOKS

2011-01-18T12:54:00.000+01:00

vitsoe via design*sponge

I wish I had 100's of books so that I could organize them in colours, on the shelf.
yep, that'd be cool..one day...one day..

WEEKEND

2011-01-17T21:57:00.007+01:00

so, this is my weekend in pictures. a visit from Lola, with restaurant-visits (both good & bad..a lot of asian food..as if she wouldn't have had enough after 3 months in asia) and some partying too..

THE CUCKOO'S NEST

2011-01-17T00:28:00.006+01:00

Last saturday after work, I was really tired..Lola(who was still here then) came and got me at work, and then we went home. I wasn't really motivated to have a party that night, cause I was really tired, and I knew my apartment was messy as usual..but when I stepped into the apartment, Lola had cleaned it up for me during the day, and I just realized once again how truly wonderful she is! I honestly can not think of a person who is nicer than her, there is not 1 % of evil in her body, she is all through 100% kind..

anyway, this is how my nest looks right now...a lack of lots of things, but at the same time I'm kind of complete..

(I'm sorry about how blogspot treats the pictures. they are actually really huges files, but still look pixled)

memories

2011-01-14T23:52:00.009+01:00

I'M BACK!
maybe..don't know..for a while?
the reason for this is....
MY NEW CAMERA!

kind of would like to delete everything I wrote, and just start over..I could just get a new blog, but I'm kind of attached to this name.

though, thinking about getting a password for the blog as there are people (actually just one) reading my blog, that I don't want to be connected with at all right now, and someone I don't want to be part of my life at all. my mum.

though, would be kind of hard for people to find the blog then. so.
I guess I'll just have to ignore that.

I'm having one of my best friends here on a visit, and tonight we finally went to this vietnamese restaurant I've been wanting to visit. it was frickin' tasty!

working tomorrow, but tomorrow evening is party all night long!

shopping deluxe

2010-12-27T21:28:00.002+01:00

my god,
my head. is so heavy

I've been woring today & yesterday when the sales started.
people are crazy! there's clothes EVERYWHERE in the shop..like..every..where..and it's so tiring..

I went around the city for a while after I finished, and came home with 4 big bags..
I got myself a bomber jacket, a pair of heeled boots (finally!! got them in brown though), a t-shirt and a shelf..a pink one!
yep, quite satisfied..now I just need to get the camera I've been looking at for ages..but not until after I've been at IKEA tomorrow..need to get ahuuuge shelf, which I'll have like a "wall" that will go between the "living-room" and the bed..
also I'll get some pink chairs for the kitchen (trying to mix all the turquoise colors) and a matress for the bed.

christmas-tree

2010-12-21T23:08:00.002+01:00

I love myself sometimes.
Like when I find really nice things, and get them. for free!
like my two arm-chairs..or...my new christmas-tree!!!
well..it's not really a tree, but some branches..

I went across a square an hour ago, and saw that the christmas-tree's were still there.. I thought they took them somewhere at night, so that nobody would take them, but hey, I was wrong.. there they were, loads of nice christmas-trees, waiting for a home..unfortunately I couldn't bring a whole one myself, but I got some branches. and now it really smells nice at home

need to get some decoration and lights tomorrow!
it has got some christmas-gifts underneath tough...:)

me by Richard Jacob

2010-12-21T02:01:00.006+01:00

well. still don't have that much of an inspiration to keep me writing. but just wanted to show you some pics from tonights photoshoot.

all photos are taken by Richard Jacob

lack of inspiration

2010-12-16T22:50:00.001+01:00

actually...I think I'm gonna stop blogging for a while..
atleast until I get my inspiration back,

but for now..it's not here

you got me

2010-12-15T01:37:00.002+01:00

today I actually did something.
shopping, sending christmas-gifts to friends who are too far away (but not for so much longer)
also worked some hours at the bar,

but still, to tired to write something interesting
right now, this blog must be the most boring one ever. but that's how I feel right now, with the risk of sounding all depressed!

BORED!

2010-12-13T13:18:00.003+01:00

At least if I woke up next to somebody,
it wouldn't feel as bad to want to stay in bed all day.
or all life.

The sky is summer-blue & completely cloud free..
and I want to go outside, I want to do something
but it's so boring to just walk around alone,

there is an ice-skating-place in the park, and
you can borrow some skates for free
so one day, me & Johanna will go there,
and bring a thermos with hot chocolate & sandwiches

but today I'm doing the laundry, and that's it.

90210

2010-12-12T17:46:00.002+01:00

my head tells me yesterday was a good night.
staff-party started with christmas-wine & games in the park..we were spinning ALOT and I couldn't walk staright and fell right on a pipe..mmh!
then dinner, free alcohol and really good music (90's) at "P Besök", a reeeeally cozy little bar, quite close to where I live. have to go back there some time!

everybody were soo nice in their beverly hills-outfits, and I can't believe people actually wore those clothes back then..well, there are so many different styles form the 90's..love the grunge..

later some of us went to Debaser (3rd time fo me this week..embarassing), where I spent practically half of all my money I have to live from this month..
then we went to Linus place for some after-party,listening to good music, and I fell asleep on the couch haha...
came back home at 5, and woke up at 16 o' clock today! just had my breakfast..now what?
I want to do something!!

yesterday

2010-12-11T13:43:00.003+01:00

wow, yesterday could have been great.
Debaser was full of people I wanted to hang with, and talk with..
but no no, I ended up on the toilet-floor, with johanna taking care of me!
haha what a fail, I didn't even drink alot yesterday!

but tonight it's on again! staff-party :)

rebecca & fiona

2010-12-10T15:51:00.000+01:00

I've been waiting for this!!
Rebecca & Fiona are coming to Malmö!!!
the coolest female dj-duo !! woah...freeeesh!

next saturday! be there!

friday

2010-12-10T11:44:00.003+01:00

source: the sartorialist

I woke up today, & decided that this is gonna be a good day, well, a good weekend actually. it's my last week-end of being free both saturday & friday so that I can go out the night before..
we're gonna celebrate that big!..tomorrow - staffchristmas party with a 90's theme..tonight..I don't know yet..got plenty to choose from :)

I'm starting this friday with pancakes & listening to the neighbours fighting.
going into town later on to get some stuff I need, and then what?
anybody up for a coffee?

bisous!

little lion man

2010-12-08T18:24:00.003+01:00

yes, not much inspiration, time or will to write lately..
Some people make me sad,
and if you lie to me, you might change my whole life
isn't that strange, how small things can change your whole life?

tonight I'm working at the bar, haven't been there in weeks! but i got the best evenings of the week this week..tonight is afro.jam, and tomorrow blues-jam. i recommend you to come!!

well now, mashed potatoes and mushrooms ! yum

lovers, friends & soldiers

2010-12-07T15:52:00.002+01:00

yesterday was phat.
(yeah I'm in my hiphop-mood, wearing my hiphop outfit yesterday & right now listening to Bow Wow & Snoop...it's all good)

anyway, I think this day could turn out fine aswell.
woke up quite early to meet up with my friends, we're doing a project for school, so we went to a nice café to chill & write some stuff..
took a stroll around the city, went to bolagret, and found soo many things I want to have in the appartment!!

like this one:

mathilda has a pink one in her kitchen & i wanted to get one myself. I was hoping that there weren't any in turquoise, so I wouldn't have to choose..I thought I'd try to ignore my turquoise-obsession and try to put some pink stuff in the kitchen aswell (like the pink chair from ikea..want them!)...
but of course they also had this trolley in turquoise. now what?! maybe i could get a turquoise for the bathroom ( cause that's still all-turquoise) but I'm not sure it fits in there cause the bathroom is tiny..

this evening I'm going to Anna for some nice dinner, she's the queen of cooking!
Think I'll bring some edamame-beans (delicious!) & apple/cinnamon-wine

adieu!

BALLY

2010-12-06T15:56:00.002+01:00

dear you,
sorry for not writing so much, but the last days have just been feeling heavy and grey..I'd like to fast forward my life a little bit..like 3 years or so?

anyway, tonight's the last time of this semesters Doc Lounge (the film club where I'm working)..there will be good bands, good movie, and alot of alcohol! party!
well I don't know if I'll stay too long, not really in the mood..

something I've been thinking about lately..
well, I realized I all of a sudden wanted a pair of BALLY/curling-shoes for the winter..
My mom have always had them when I was younger, and I always hated them, and thought they were ugly..what changed? is it really the fact that it's becoming popular and alot of people are wearing them now..how strange is that..I always thought of myself as somebody who wasn't that affected by fashion, but obviously we are , all of us.

I remember when I was 13 and my mom told me that soon it'd be popular wearing high-wasted jeans with skinny legs. I said I'd never ever wear that, if what she was saying was even true..I doubted it..
but here we are, probably only 1 year later I was wearing those jeans, and I still am, today.

PICTURES FROM YESTERDAY

2010-12-05T23:06:00.002+01:00

pictures from the birthday-kid's camera

rocks

2010-12-05T17:07:00.003+01:00

yesterday was fun I guess.
it's strange how little of a hangove I've got the last 2 weekends, very good! hoping for a third one next weekend after our staff-meeting..

me, dominique & andreas went back to my place after, and on the way we found 2 arm-chair, from like the 60's or something. I wanted them so we brought them bac here..the problem is now that there are no proper seats, and they might be really disgusting..whatever

i'm confused, tired, stressed & not in a really good mood today
so talk to you another time

part on!

2010-12-04T18:59:00.003+01:00

don't have alot of time..
party tonight!

but here's a song I started liking, though I NEVER EVER thought I'd be one of those swedes who actually listens to Ted Gärdestad...I really like this song though!

DRESS ME!

2010-12-03T19:41:00.003+01:00

mm, pretty full & pretty pleased..
got treated to a very nice chinese-restaurant! thanks thanks

stopped by H&M when I was waiting for my friend. saw 2 dresses & thought It'd be fun to try them out while waiting. jeez!! I fell in love..they were both full-length dresses, classical cuts, and so so beautiful!! like, gala-beautiful!
when would I ever wear them?!

but maybe, maybe, I'll get a chance to use them..I'm discussing it right now with somebody, and I'll let you know when it's for sure..exciting!

unfortunately I only found a picture of one of the dresses..it looks quite boring on picture, but in real life it was amazing! later I saw they also had it in creme-beige..can't decide which one is better!

and there was also this red, silk dress..usually I don't wear red but the cut was so beautiful!..as soon as I find it on H&M's website I'll show you that one too!!

wu-tang clan

2010-12-03T16:27:00.000+01:00

don't understand how the fuck I had no clue that Wu-tang Clan played at way out west festival last august?!
argh!

guess I didn't check the line-up at all, but if it's one festival I'll attend next years it's way out west, or fiber fib!...if I'm not on jamaica or somewhere else at that time

wallpaper!

2010-12-03T13:05:00.000+01:00

check out this wallpaper!!! madness!
I saw it the other day, but as I remember it, the print was bigger..
anyway, would like some cool wallpaper on the wall behind my bed

I'M A VAGABOND

2010-12-02T21:31:00.002+01:00

so...finished the saffron-buns (huge, fluffy & delicious), and one of the pies (have to have another piece..soon)..
finished studying, the seminare tomorrow will just be as it will. usually it goes well..

It would've been so nice if somebody was here to share the pies & buns with me.
and played some games, I love games! but why doesn't ANYBODY else like it? seriously..never met anybody who likes to play games...
look, found this one at Lagerhaus today. it's produced by my favourite travel-magazine VAGABOND, and it's a traveling-game..i want!!

again & again

2010-12-02T17:17:00.003+01:00

working hard today..
went around town to get 2 things. came home with 15?!..
mostly food but also decor things, for example turquoise (of course!) decorationstickers for the tiles in the kitchen & bathroom..
but mostly I bought food/ingredients..felt all christmasy today so I'm now baing saffron-buns (typically swedish for st lucia & christmas..mm!).and I'm planning to bake 2 pies, maybe not both today, but in the near future..one with gorgonzola/broccoli & the other one, my grandmothers famous spinach & mushroom-pie...aaah, I feel like a housewife! I even cleaned a bit today!

I'm gonna check some of their pics, but they'r emostly wearing summer-clothes, and I want something christmasy, but definately 90's!

1 year

2010-12-01T21:04:00.003+01:00

1 year ago, since I went back to Taizé..
1 year ago since I met one of the most important persons in my life, Rosa..
we both were kind of annoyed at eachother at first (well apparantly I was arrogant & she was boring)...little did we know that we'd become best friends..best best bestest!

today I made my tattoo dedicated to my grandmother, but it also has alot of Rosa in it since she's the one that drew it!
I'll try to get some pictures, and I'll show you later on!

birthdays are sad

2010-11-30T16:54:00.001+01:00

I think my dad even forgot me, even if he doesn't admit it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

2010-11-29T22:23:00.002+01:00

If: questions for the game of life
All about me

2010-11-29T17:06:00.002+01:00

had to go home from school today,
couldn't keep my eyes open, and I felt really ill, like I was gonna be sick
so I slept all afternoon, and now it just 5 P.M but it feels like midnight, when by the way, I will have my birthday!

I'd like some company
I have wine & crackers?

24 hours

2010-11-28T19:42:00.003+01:00

The last 24 hours have been great
yesterday evening started with Sanne A coming over, with a bottle of wine for me, and gingerbread, crackers, 3 kinds of cheese & chocolate... after a while came Sanne S & Anna, and we had a pleasant evening with loads of beer & music..

went to Inkonst to listen to some AWESOME dubstep. it was frickin' the best EVER! Mensah from england & Slin from estonia..really, really good..
then me & Sanne A met up with Dominique & Robin, and we went back to my place for some party until we fell asleep in my bed and on the floor sometime around 7 a.m.

this "morning" we had american pancakes & oranges for breakfast...then back to bed for a couple of hours.. Mathilda came over for some nice chill & talk and she brought a gift for me a super-soft cosy bath-robe!!!! craziness! I was just thinking about it yesterday, that I wanted one..
so what I'm doing now is putting my tired body in a bubble-bath with incense, music, candles & christmas soda. then I'm gonna cook some nice saffron pasta, and after that watch the other half of "eat, pray, love"

wicked evening!!

2010-11-27T16:47:00.000+01:00

wtched half of Eat, love, pray yesterday.
wanted to read the book since last summer, but never took the time to do it.
so I watched the movie, and unfortunately, I guess now, reading the book will not happen. in a while at least.
longing to see the other half, was just too tired to concentrate last night.

it makes me wanna travel again. cause thats me, it's such a big part of me.
but I will.

and eat
and love.
