The City.

Picture: ultimatenicole

I have never been that much of a TV-junkie so it feels like I have missed so many great TV-shows? Anyway one that I haven't missed is "The City". I'm waiting for new episodes to come since it feels as if I've almost become addicted to it.

Love the life that they are living, clothing, accessories, hairstyles, make up trends and so much more. I think I will watch an episode from season one before I go to bed. Sweet dreams, sleep tight.

Baked with Love.

I thought I might bake tomorrow. The big event I talked about in the previous post will take place on Saturday/Sunday this week so I thought that it might be fun to do gingerbread hearts with "Newhouse" written on them.

I have to work during the day tomorrow so we'll see if I have time to do it later in the evening. One can decorate them and colour them in so many different ways. I think I might need to look in the kitchen to see if I have everything I need. I'll be back later!

Last weekend.

I'm sorry for the lack of updates during this last weekend. However I thought Idd show you some pictures along with some text to describe what I did so enjoy! :)

Friday
I had a day off from work so I enjoyed some quality time with me, myself and I ;) in town to look at the Christmas adornments and do some shopping.

In the afternoon I met up with two of my friends E and E to buy food for the dinner we had planned to cook at my other friend L's apartment. After dinner and some giggle while preparing ourselves for the big night we went to what for me was a new club called "Collage".

Above are two picture I found from the club's website. We danced almost all night but unfortunately I had to leave early because I had to work all day Saturday..


Saturday
Work, work, work. I spent almost 7 hours at work during the day and to be honest I was a bit tired from the night before. I don't think I slept more than 4,5 hours so no wonder.. Anyway we had plenty of things to do in order to prepare for the big Christmas shopping event all stores look forward to every year.

My colleague and I started to decorate the store with elegant pieces of clothing in this years theme colours; red & white. In the evening I went to the movies with my mother and youngest brother and saw "New Moon" (second time) and I can say that I loved it a little bit more this time.

The photo above was taken in our store only a week ago and in the picture is my boss A and I. This Sunday (6/12-09) we have arranged a small event for our customers to eat Christmas sweets and to shop beautiful Christmas gifts for their beloved ones.

Sunday
It has become sort of a tradition for me to help some friends to my family every year during Christmas when the family have a small Christmas party normally during the first weekend in December. Therefore they had "booked" me this Sunday to help them serve the guests and other small services that caters normally do. I have helped them these last 4 years so therefore it is more a "tradition" now.

The family and guests had a great time and so did I helping them out. In the evening I went to town to meet my friend J and we talked for hours. After such a good weekend I walked home Sunday night with a big smile on my face. Happy to have such good family and friends. The people that I care about the most ♥.

Rise & shine.

Just thought I'd say good morning, for those of you who are awake ;) I'm heading towards town soon (hairdresser) and afterwards I'm going straight to work.

I wish you all a terrific Thursday!

New appointment @ the hairdresser.

It's time again. I can't believe it's been three months since I went to the hairdresser the last time. Anyway I managed to get an appointment tomorrow so I'm happy to get my hair done before Christmas. Last time I cut more than 14 cm..! It was a big change but I love the new shorter length which has already reached my shoulders (!). From the beginning it reached the mid part of my back.

Besides that I'm busy all weekend, both during the day and the evening. But I'm looking forward to it so that makes it much easier. Friday it's ladies night out! Something I haven't had for ages. I've missed my gals ♥. Work during Saturday and a cinema visit during the evening with my brother and mother. Busy like a little bee. I better continue tidy up my room. Talk to you later!

Christmas list.

Oh my.. What has honestly happened to our time? I mean it seems as if it keeps running away from us (I know that it is running away from me at least). Next week we are already in December meaning one must start planning for this year's Christmas list.

I think I will try to "brain storm" a few ideas on a piece of paper for each family member and friend in order to get a better "picture" of what one could buy to them. I love this season and every year it seems as if one never have enough time to really enjoy it to the maximum.

Anyway one can only try to do the best of the situation so I have no time to mumble about it, no. I am going to start Christmas tonight by listening to some lovely Christmas tunes sang by my favourite singer through all time, Frank Sinatra. I wish you all a nice day/evening depending on what time it is at your place!

New Moon.

Picture: Source

The "Twilight saga" continues with "New Moon" based on the second novel written by the American author Stephanie Mayer. It's been a while since I read it but I remembered most of the novel while watching the film. The heartbreaking trauma that Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) makes his ex girlfriend Bella Swan (Kristen Stuart) go through when he breaks up with her was pretty intense.

The love is still there though, deep underneath the surface. Bella's friend Jacob tries to replace Edward's place while Bella only wants to them to remain friends. Things get tricky when Jacob confesses his deep feelings for her.

I don't remember how many times I've seen "Twilight" but if I put it in this way: I know every line that is said during the film and I know the time line by heart. I'm hoping to see "New Moon" again this weekend, perhaps on Friday?

I love the novels and not to mention the great actors who have enchanted me with their talents. If you haven't seen it I strongly suggest that you would read the novel first, the novels are always better and they always tell us more than what is possible to learn by watching the film on the cinema screen.

P.S. Don't you just love the poster? I know I do :) D.S.

Troublesome Thursday.

Sorry for the bad update today. As the title says it's been a "Troublesome Thursday". Too many thoughts in my head and I can't seem to get anything right. Luckily tomorrow is Friday! I'm free on Saturday and I'm going to see "New Moon" on the evening, oh I honestly can't wait! Are you going to see it?

What I wish I had worn today.

Picture: Collage made by me (Click to enlarge image!)

This would have been a much better outfit for today's ugly weather. I wish I could have worn these beautiful pieces..

Trench coat
Hunter "Wellington boots"
Wool scarf
Wool beret
Leather gloves
Mulberry Bayswater

Wet Wednesday.

I cant believe it, its been raining the entire day today. Talking about a "Wet Wednesday". Unfortunately I forgot my umbrella at work so I had to go out in the rain this morning and it was not nice. Anyway I'm feeling so much better now and all that's left is a small cold, no more fever and no more headache. Yay!

This also means that I won't miss "New Moon" on Saturday. I tried to get tickets for the premier on Friday but the best tickets were sold out 30 minutes after being released on the internet! And the website collapsed.. Oh well Im still glad I could get good tickets for Saturday. Ive been looking forward to it for so long! Are you doing anything fun for the weekend? :)

Magic mirror on the wall.

Picture: Engla's Showroom

I've been thinking about buying a white mirror to the apartment. Since most of our walls are white it would probably look to "hard" with a black one towards all the white space. I saw that Engla bought another white mirror in her office (soon to be walk in closet!) and I must say that I like the simple design of the mirror.

I googled it and found out that it came from Ikea. I have seen another alternative from Gallerix but it is a liittle bit more expensive.. I will try to take a picture of it later tomorrow and hopefully you can help me decide which one I should buy :) I need all advice possible since I am really bad in making up my mind. Time to sleep, sweet dreams.

Early morning.

Good morning to you all. I hope you slept well, let me just say that I didn't :( I've had difficulties sleeping properly lately and I might have to do something about it now since I'm out of energy.

It might be the new bed? It might be the fact that I've been ill all weekend? Anyway Imm of to work soon so I better finish up my breakfast and get dressed. Luckily it's not going to be a long day. Puh. Have a great day everyone!

Great Minds Think Alike.

Picture: Sofis Mode (Sofi's Fashion)

The Twilight saga continues with the world premier of the second film "New Moon", coming up on cinemas next Friday, 20th of November. I have read three out of four novels written by the American author Stephanie Mayer. I can't seem to finish the last novel because I don't want the saga to end..!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart who play the two main characters Edward Cullen and Bella (Isabella) Swan are seen everywhere! Above are two examples where the two big magazines "Vanity Fair" and "Harpers Bazaar" have published the young acting couple on the front page of their latest December covers. The pictures that have been taken are beautiful (I saw them on the internet) so I cant wait until Ill be able to buy the magazine in the store. Talking about great publicity for the two young actors.

Salmon on a Sunday.

After an entire box of painkillers my headache has finally disappeared from my head. So I guess one could say I'm getting better. Therefore I've decided to cook one of my favourite dishes for dinner, roasted salmon in the oven, boiled potatoes, salad and a delicious lemon sauce.

I might publish the recipe later, if any of you reading this are interested then comment on this post so that you can let me know. For dessert my b-friend bought me some delicious Ben & Jerry ice cream. Anyway I better get started. See you guys later!

Jimmy Choo for H&M.

Picture: Linn Gustafsson

Meanwhile I'm lying here in my bed feeling blue and being sick there are thousands of men and women out there shopping at today's special event. The launch of the new H&M collection signed by the designer Jimmy Choo.

To be honest I wasn't impressed by many pieces of the collection. Mainly because the designs could have been better but also because of the high prices (!). I mean one must not forget that it is still H&M and it seems to me that they might have gone a bit too far with the prices.

So far I have only seen two pieces that might have been interesting but like I said the high price makes me doubt even more. I would rather save my money to buy my dream bag (which I wrote about in the previous post) then spending them on a dress that might be cool to wear not but perhaps not in five years time. For those of you who managed to get to the stores, did you find what you wanted? :)

I think I got the flu.

Yesterday I woke up with such a heavy headache. The rest of my body felt fine and so I tried to avoid the pain as much as I could. It wasn't until yesterday evening I felt new pain in my entire body. My head, my jaw, my ears, my back, my legs and arms yes everything caused me pain.

I slept for like one hour last night and stayed up the rest trying to forget the pain that kept bouncing up and down in my head. Yes I took a painkiller but it didn't seem to help. At 5 AM this morning I had to phone my father and ask him for advice. After that I have stayed in bed all day long trying to rest and let my body recover from (what seems to be) the flu. I feel awful. I hate the fact that I might have got the flu.

Mulberry Bayswater.

Picture: Mulberry

Some people would describe it as the nr 1 "it-bag". Celebrities and big fashion icons such as Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and Victoria Beckham has been seen with it several times during the last couple of years. "It-bags" normally fades away after a while but the "Mulberry Bayswater" has become a bag of its time.

Personally I don't think I could get tired of it, ever. Its perfect leather, timeless design and details makes me want to wear it everyday to different kinds of outfits. The difficult decision now is what colour "oak" or "black" would you choose?

Black is classic and works with everything all year around basically. But I have always had a crush for brown clothes and accessories not to mention brown leather bags. My favourite bag in my closet is a classic monogram DKNY bag, colour? Brown of course. While thinking about it, most of my clothes are black.. So a black Bayswater would be perfect too. Would you please help me with my dilemma? :)

8 AM to 8 PM.

I am c o m p l e t e l y exhausted. As the title says I had to work ten hours today and believe me when I say that my entire body is hurting right now especially my feet. Therefore I haven't been able to post anything today. It's been a long day so I'm actually going to bed, I need to rest. Sweet dreams to you all

I ♥ NY.

Pictures: Sofis Mode (Translation: Sofi's fashion)

I envy Sofi who seems to be living a life that people like you and me only can dream about. The perfect life in NY. Above are some of her latest photos that were published on her blog today where the title says, "Follow me to my gym". I call it a dream to be able to run through central park every morning and to enjoy this beautiful view.

Busy like a bee.

I just checked my calender to get a grip of how much I'm going to work during December. With Christmas and all coming up one must start planning now in order to avoid all the stress that comes along with it and it's the same thing every year.

I have been searching for inspiration to decorate the apartment. For example I would love to have a lightning chain like this one, from Ikea to hang above and around a mirror that I am planning on giving myself for Christmas. I know it would look beautiful in our bedroom, so I will keep you updated when I have found the perfect lightning chain. Anyway I know that I will be busy like a bee. It's worth it though considering how much I love this season ♥.

These boots are made for walking.

Picture: stylebykling

Now that I finished cleaning out my closet and have sold some of my old shoes and clothes that I haven't used in a while I felt like rewarding myself with two new pairs of shoes. The first pair are identical to the boots as seen on the picture above.

For some reason I can't connect my iPhone to my laptop so I couldn't post my own picture. Anyway I'll have to ask my b-friend when he gets home, hopefully he knows how to fix it. Back to the boots. They are super comfortable and I am so happy I found them.

There are other similar versions too, this pair from Acne is identical to mine from Scorett but they cost a lot more. So it really depends on what kind of budget you have. Here is a third alternative too, from Hope. Remember to let your feet rest from high heels, I think that my boots and converse will be the perfect treatment for my sore feet.
