The new me

I am very happy. I love my hairdresser.

Fringes, overalls and chinos

This is what greets me most mornings at the bus-stop.

Living in a country that is halfway in to fall has it perks when mornings are crisp and the light is cold.

I have worked like crazy these past days, for like a week I haven't left earlier than 20.30 at night.
Falling in to bed, or even worse, in to the couch where I've lay until midnight, drooling to BBC Food but way too tired to cook dinner.

The best part is, I love what I do and I think I'm good at it.
And also, we get cake sometimes!
That is the perk with working for a company that earns alot.

Plenty of cake!


Last weekend I managed to bribe Jonna into coming and helping me repaint my livingroom.
I thought it would take like three hours.
It took two days.

I also tempted her with the possibility of seeing me looking like an a**, in a little painter's overall.

Did I look like an a**? Judge for yourself.
I might add though, so did she!


Still going on about those glasses.
Everyone keeps telling me differently. And I have no clue.
One moment YSL, the next Armani.

Fringe though, that will happen for real tomorrow. Yup.

No more dodgy fake-fringe hair photos on this blog!

In my mind I will look like Monica Bellucci, in real life I will probably look like any token Asian woman (cartoon if you will) or that little Sanrio Pukka charachter. Yikes!

YSL, dark brown tortoise colour

Armani again.

Well well. Missing some good friends right now, that are far far away.
Also, missing my Florentine life. Missing being in control of my life.
Right now, I'm in control of all children's accessories S/S 2009 but the rest..? Well.
Baby steps.

Cute business controller on our neighbour department, but I think those economy guys are more into Ralp Lauren girls and blond ponytails.
Today, I even think he wore chinos and low Adidas Stan Smiths.
Isn't that token, well, then I don't know.

Shower and then episode 4 of Gossip Girl! Aah, I just love Wednesdays!

Four-eyed woman

Armani again, same as above


YSL, toffee brown


YSL, same as above

So, what do you reckon? The fake fringe (messy hair) is also an experiment. Think I really like it though.

Funny quote

"If you turn into a pickle, there's no way of going back to being a cucumber".

This was said by some old rock star when talking about drugs, that there is no going back once you get hooked on heroin or something.
I thought it was funny.

Have been ill and quite down and out for some time, hence the bad blogging.

Dear readers (or whomever is still reading), I apologize.

Dreaming of exes and their break-ups (that probably will never come true), working working working, having Josefin over after four months apart.. Shopping, planning for Tove's visit in two weeks, eating way too many cookies, getting wasted on champagne, fixed my broken Gucci shoe for my last money this month..





Well. Nothing new really.

Am also trying out glasses and I had borrowed three different ones to take home and show you but I rushed from work and forgot them there. Will keep you posted.

Sorry for keeping it short but at the moment I am out of energy and need some rest.

Also, preparing for the Worldwide Blackout at 21.50 tonight!
Will you join?

Small update

Hi peeps!

Sorry for being a crappy blogger. I've had too much on my mind after coming home from Paris.

Will write much more another day. Until then, here are some pics!


At Place des Vosges, being incredibly happy


Our hotel was right up the street from my future workplace


The river seen from Pont Neuf


Lunch in Belleville, the best vegetarian cous-cous I've ever had


Dinner in St Germain


The French croissants are the best in the world


Our hotel room was very.. orange..


The ladies room at the restaurant at Palais Royal..


Palais Royal.. Some of the splendid architecture there.


Best friends in Paris


On our way home, I was happy for my new bag from La Fayette.
It held most of my.. everything.

So little time..

Hi all!

Sorry for being such an ambivalent blogger!
One week I post like ten posts and the next week; zero.

Work has been a little overwhelming, as has the new arrival of a long lost friend.
Actually, he's my boyfriend from when I was 16, we were together for five weeks and never hung out.
Plus, the departure of a very close friend yesterday. So.
Yeah. I've been busy.

Today, Saturday, I had no plans whatsoever.
Needed to clean the apartment but really didn't feel like it. I slept in, had breakfast in bed together with French Marie Claire, ELLE Paris and Italian Grazia, then went for coffee.

Tonight I cooked, watched TV and read the new issue of French Marie Claire.
Getting all psyched up for the upcoming trip soon!

Then I watched the Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton documentary and I loved every second of it.
He truly is the gay crush of my life.
It also made me remember the enthusiasm I had for fashion and this whole industry when I started studying, my heart started beating faster and faster while watching.
It's kind of easy to forget when I'm in the longest detail discussion over Hello Kitty hairstrings, via e-mail, with Hong Kong.

See a clip of it here:


Then I surfed the usual blogs and came up with these inspiring photos from a French blog;
Style & The City Paris!

Enjoy and have a great weekend all of y'all!



Fashion can be fun sometimes, right?!


I need glasses and the larger the better. Will look for these.


Rare to see an Asian girl that looks European for a change. I like her hair.

This is what I want to look like, forever and ever. She's gorgeous!
Also inspires me to finally take the step and go for a full-on fringe!

I'd love to travel in style like this! I always arrive all messy and mad.

The most amazing sky

Look at this beautiful sky this evening.

Me and Gilla had rented a movie and when we returned back home Gilla looked out the window and called me over.

Look for yourselves. And I swear, no editing whatsoever of the pics! They are taken at different times, that's why the colours change a bit, plus I played around w ISO and whitebalance whilst shooting.

When we first saw it..

Then a little later..

A couple of minutes later..

And after maybe 15 minutes it got much higher! Amazing!
Then the clouds returned and the sky was grey again.

Last night I listened to One Republic, the band that made that tiring "Apologize" song with Timbaland earlier this year. I must say I really really like his voice. He plays the piano and the guitar, plus writes all the songs AND is a song writer for plenty of popular artists!
His name is Ryan Tedder, even the name is adorable.

And, here's the best part, he's born in 1979! Perfect! Finally a man I like that is younger than 35! Haha. He's cute in a funny way, looks a little like a cartoon animal of some sort. Really nice voice. Wouldn't mind him singing me to sleep every night.
I'll ask him over to see my view. Hahaha.

And, not forgetting, the original version of "Apologize" is much much better than the remix with that annoying Timbaland hollering in the background.

"..Imse vimse spindel, klättar uppför trån'.."

This evening, except for taking a hundred of photos of my view (I'm beginning to feel like the weather reports) we were supposed to watch a movie but after getting way into "The Next Best Thing" with Madonna and Rupert Everett we watched that one instead. And I advice you not to, it was crap.

Then we saw an old Posh Spice video with that fat guy from Another Level, that random British boyband that I liked so much for like 6 months when we were 17. Jonna hated that song "Freak Me". So we You Tubed them.

We moved on to other boybands throughout the evening, in order:

Another Level
E17
New Kids on the Block

It was such a walk down memory lane, all elementary school memories!

Our funniest was by far:



Another Level "Bomb Diggy"



E 17- Thunder



NKOTB- Hangin' Tough



I had forgotten it even existed!!!! "Tonight" was my all-time favourite!



"The Jordan Knightmare Interview", hilarious! I can never think of him in the same way ever again..
Whatever way that was... Hmm..

Off to bed.

Come on people, opinions on the coat, please!
