Evening Star.

Picture: SOLO

For many people it seems ridiculous to have such a precious gown (as seen on the picture above) hanging in the closet. Surely I can agree that one would probably not wear it too often but at special and I must say a bit rare occasions.

Anyway I know that if I would own such a breathtaking gown I would feel like an evening star. To be wrapped up in a dress made out of silk while wearing shoes that most likely would be very uncomfortable, I would do it. If only for one night.

A new Cinderella could have been born that night. An endless dream in a world made of a fantasy, forever an evening star.

Amazing Artists.

I have always thought that I have the weirdest taste when it comes to music. When people ask me what type of music listen to I normally reply "everything, except for heavy metal". Still I must admit that I listen to pop a lot & "soft" rock.

Luckily I've received many good tips when it comes to new artists (for me at least) worth listening to. So I thought I'd share some great artists (according to me) new& old with you that I've listened to a lot lately. For those of you who are interested in hearing some good songs check out the following singers.

• Blink 182 - "I miss You"
  
• Colbie Caillat - "Magic" (Piano version)
  
• Edwin McCain - "I'll Be"
  
• Evanescence - "My Immortal"
  
• Jack Johnson - "Banana Pancakes"
  
• John Mayer - "Who Says"
  
• Joshua Radin - "Only You"
  
• Keith Urban - "You're my better half"
  
• Maria Mena - "You're the only one"
  
• Matt Wertz - "05:19"
  
• Nickelback - "Gotta be Somebody"
  
• Ryan Cabrera - "True"

Remember my post about the gorgeous nude pumps from Topshop? After searching for them on their online web shop I found out that they were completely sold out. I was so disappointed and I've been waiting for them to get back in stock without any luck. Therefore I decided to take a chance and visit one of their shops in town and yesterday I found out that there were only two pairs in my size left (!)..

Lucky Liv got a hold of one of them ;) And I literally bounced out from the store, truly happy. They have the perfect nude colour and I can't wait to wear them with skinny blue jeans and light summer dresses the upcoming season. I might have to practise to walk in them though. The hight of the heels are 12 cm..! I hope I won't fall and break a leg :P Besides they are beautiful to watch and a golden pair to my eyes.

Note to myself: Remember to practise, practise & practise!

Ladies night out.

I've spent the entire morning vacuum-cleaning and dusting off bookcases. Since I've been ill almost the entire week I haven't had the strength (read: it's called being lazy) to keep my room tidy and clean. Thousands of tissues have occupied almost my entire windowsill. Anyway it's finally tidy again.

A friend of mine has planned a "Pink Party" for tonight. In other words it will be ladies night out. Still, since I haven't recovered completely yet I will only show up for a couple of hours and turn in before midnight when the girls head out. I'm sure it will be a great night :) Time for lunch! Later I'll post a picture of something that followed me home after a short trip to Topshop.

TGIF.

Picture: Google

I'm alive. Sorry for the bad updates this week. As the picture illustrates I've been sick. Again. Second cold for this autumn/winter. After all I have been spending a lot of time with twelve sick three-year-olds.

Anyway I'm glad it's Friday! Luckily I've managed to change my hours at work so I'm free the entire weekend, free to recover myself. I need to get well, ASAP. Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

The Reason.

You are the reason for why I have been smiling all day. The one and only who always finds the perfect words to say. You are the reason for why my heart skips a beat every time you call me by cute names. The one and only who has inspired my soul and created eternal flames.

You are the reason for why I've been staring at my phone all day. The one and only I want to receive a text from especially now that you are many miles away. You are the reason for why I long for Spring. The one and only who always make my soul sing.

You are the reason for why I have slept like a princess these last couple of days. The one and only I see in my dreams, such a handsome face. You are the reason for why I feel high on love again. The one and only, a forever true friend.

Mornin´ Monday.

Pictures: Style by Kling

Rise & Shine people, it's Monday! Guess who woke up with a sore throat this morning? My first reaction was, "oh no.." my evil cold is back. Therefore I have decided not to work out today I don't want to jeopardize getting ill again. Crazy, why can't I recover myself completely?

Anyway I found these gorgeous pictures of a Swedish former model Elin Kling who is now known as a famous fashion journalist. They were published in a Swedish fashion magazine called "Café" last year and I fell in love with the elegance & simplicity of these black and white photographies.

I wish you all a great Monday!

Find the Will to get started.

Another week has almost reached its end and tomorrow starts yet a new one. Since my four weeks of practice has ended I'm back to school now with new classes starting on Monday. Besides it will also be my second week of hard training at the gym ;)

I'm sorry I don't want to brag or anything but I really do feel proud of myself ♥ I have always been a "planning person" and so I have planned and set up goals to start working out, to my greatest disappointment I've failed an infinite number of times. But this time it's for real. Beach of 2010 here I come.

It was a bit easier for me to start since my entire family joined the gym together. Here is my tip! Start working out with a friend or a family member and later you will see that it will be a trigger to try exercising on your own or with new/old friends. I'm not saying that I'm an expert at this but I honestly feel a lot better and have more energy.

I know, it's only been one week but it makes me happy that I can feel it already! And for those of you who are also struggling and who finds it difficult to get started, believe in yourself. If my family and I can do it I know you will be able to do it too! Find the Will to get started. Are you with me? ;)

P.S. I can't believe it but it feels like I'm becoming some kind of workout junkie? *lol* D.S.

Good Morning Beautiful.

Picture: We heart it

Good morning, I hope you slept well. I sure did, slept like a princess. Sorry for the bad updates this weekend, I've been working like a busy little bee. I have to get to work within 30 min so I need to hurry. I wish you all a beautiful Sunday!

Finally Friday.

End of Practice.

Picture: Private, me to the left holding a circle with the wonderful children I've had at the preschool

I had my last day of practice at the preschool today. Somehow I managed not get all sentimental, at least not in front of the children. But on my way home my heart burst. My little bright stars I will miss you all.

To tell you the truth I have had four amazing weeks with the best teachers and children ♥ truly I will miss you. I promise to visit you soon! Thank you for filling my time of practice with so much love and laughter.

To my supervisor M, I admire you and your amazing work with the children. I will always look up to you. No one could ever have wished for a better supervisor, teacher and colleague. You're the greatest. All my love, Liv

Fun Fearless Female.

Bring it on! I think I finally found a better way to start this new "healthier" lifestyle. Working out at the gym, spending time with people I love & doing things that make me happy are things that I prioritize from now on.

I needed a fresh start and so a new chapter has begun. Slowly my heart will gain new strength and become independent again. I'm a fun fearless female and I will live after that motto from this day forward. Are you with me? ;)

Raspberry muffins

Picture: Private, taken by me

Hey there! Here comes a live picture from my kitchen. Tomorrow is my last day at the preschool and so I decided to bake something special to the children and teachers. These are my favourite raspberry muffin receipe. I know they'll love them ;)

Last Minute Travel.

I remember writing a post about taking a weekend abroad, preferably to a warmer country. Still I have too many things going on at school + work so taking a week off from everything would probably be difficult but a weekend, maybe?

Anyway during yesterday's dinner my family and I spoke about travelling in general and that is when my father and I started talking about our trip to New York. For some reason I have decided not to go there until early autumn/winter has arrived.

I'm a complicated lady I know. But I'm stubborn as a donkey ;) Therefore I'm saving the NY trip for the upcoming months but perhaps a trip to Greece in May or June would be nice. The thought is definitely worth considering..

Words of love written on the bedroom wall.

Picture: I'm sorry but I don't remember where I found it..

Another long day has reached its end. Before I go to sleep I wanted to show you this picture as seen above of a amazing bedroom. First of all, look at the beautiful script written on the wall. Inspiration when it's the best!

The lamp above the bed is also spectacular. A simple yet unique bedroom. Truly one of a kind. I love the idea about having words of love written on my future bedroom wall. Finally, time for bed. Sleep tight :)

Dream with the Angels.

I hope you all had a soft Sunday :) I sure did, unfortunately I did not manage to finish studying all that I needed to today so I better catch up with some of it tomorrow. Anyway Monday tomorrow and yet another new week. Mid of March already.. Crazy. Finally, time for bed. Dream with the Angels dearest readers ♥

Remember Me.

Picture: ScreenCrave

Remember Me at dawn. Look at the glittering dew on the green lawn. Remember Me when the sun strikes and lightens up your face. Size the day and do not let it go to waste.

Remember Me the next time you feel alone again. No matter what I will try my very best to remain a good friend. Remember Me and I shall sing to you. Tomorrow you will feel brand new.

Remember Me when you feel like you are the happiest man on earth. I will be here smiling with you, for what it's worth. Remember Me when you seek trust. Still, do not feel like you must.

Remember Me at sunset. When the warm colours have mixed in the sky it will not make you feel upset. Remember Me and I promise you this, I will always Remember You.

Sunny Sunday.

Mood: For the first time in days I feel a sincere tranquillity in the heart

Roses on my pillow.

Picture: H&M

I just wanted to show you one last thing before I go to bed. I saw this beautiful pillow with roses from H&M. On my shopping list for next salary is white sheets and a few pretty pillows among and a few other things. More about that later.

Sweet Dreams.

After spending the entire day at work my body feels completely exhausted. I had a good day though, several lovely customers who left me with a big smile ♥ Thank you, you made my day!

Tomorrow I've planned to visit the gym in the morning and study in the afternoon. Apparently it will be sunny out here tomorrow like it was today, hopefully I'll be able to sneak in a spring walk some time during the day for I'd really love to get some D-vitamin ;) Sweet Dreams.

The perfect shade of Nude.

Picture: Topshop

Do you remember my post about wanting and searching for the perfect heels in the colour "nude"? Well I think that I just might have found them! Topshop really do know quite a few things when it comes to making desirable shoes.

I'm curious about the height of the heel though.. For some reason they have not added that particular information on their homepage? Weird. Anyway I'm pretty sure I can handle it ;) If not, well then I guess I'll just have to practice.

These are according to me the perfect shoes to wear with a pair of skinny jeans this spring or with a sweet summer dress when it gets warmer. Add a nice tan to the legs.. Oh, I want them soo badly.. The perfect shade of Nude.

Testing

I'm trying to see if I can write posts by using my iPhone.

Movie night with the Girls ♥.

TGIF. It's been a great day sofar with smiles at the preschool and at the gym. I really feel great after a sweaty workout ;) Looking forward to Sunday's exercise!

But as the title reads I'm heading out for a movie night with the girls tonight. It's the premier date for "Remember Me" featuring Robert Pattinson & Emilie De Ravin. I've been looking forward to see it for a long time now so I'm excited.

Tomorrow I'll be working all day so I better enjoy some free time tonight ;) I hope you will also have a Fantastic Friday!

A cup of Tea.

Picture: Rightnow

My eyelids are heavy as lead and my body screams for sleep. It's time to go and get ready for bed. Luckily I just finished my hot cup of blueberry tea. My favourite ♥. May you all have a good night's sleep. Sweet dreams.

Beach 2010 here I come!

Finally, today I officially became a member of one of the gym empires in Scandinavia called SATS. For years I have wanted to find a good gym and start exercising. My mother told me last night that she had called the gym yesterday to talk about their classes and prices.

Apparently they had a special offer today that said that any new member who signed up today before 7 PM would not have to pay the membership fee, in this case 600 (SEK) which I thought was a bit exaggerated to be honest.

Anyway my mother, youngest brother and I joined one of their gyms nearby and unfortunately I did not bring my gym clothes but if I had brought them I would have jumped right in and begun my new training programme. I will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. Did I mention that I am super excited? ;) Beach 2010, here I come!

Size the Day.

Picture: We heart it

Anxiety.

It's been seven long hours and twenty-two days since the last time I saw your handsome face. Forever is not long enough to describe how much I miss listening to your laughter or the way you always cuddle me in your warm and safe embrace.

Apparently I must have done or said something wrong? Why else would you try to escape the present and suddenly one day be gone? I thought about you today as I saw the sun rise at dawn.

Your absence and silence has left my heart in anxiety, not to mention the big black hole I see in our universe and deep within my soul. A breathtaking black and misfortuned Onyx that I wish someone would have stole. Along comes the disturbed sleep and nightmares of big and ugly trolls.

I simply could not see this coming and neither did I expect this to happen but then again, no one ever does. All I shall do now is wait and we will see how it goes. This I want you to know, your brilliant smile and good heart inside my memory still glows.

I ♥ NY.

Picture: DeviantArt

One day I will fly away, leave all this for the city that never sleeps. Autumn/Winter 2010, NY here I come!

I'm off to Work.

Mornin´sunshines. I hope you slept well. Today's plan is to work, work, work. Due to the grey outdoors my guess is that I will have lots of happy customers today? Who knows? But I hope so. Anyway time to get ready and soon I'm off to work. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Sleep it Away.

Picture: We heart it

Finally, the day has reached its End. Tomorrow is a new Day.
Sweet Dreams

Let down. Again.

Ache. Alone. Angry. Ashamed. Blue. Broken. Cold. Confused. Dangerous. Déjà Vu. Disappointed. Empty. Fragile. Heavy in the Heart. Hours. Hope. Ignored. Late. Lost. Minutes. Mislead. No missed calls. Over. Sad. Seconds. Stay. Tears.

Remember, Honesty lasts Longest.

Sum 41 - Best of Me.

Tonight's most played song.

You hurt me today. Why? That is all I need to know.

Note to oneself.

Roses on a Saturday.

I think I might take a little trip down to the centre tomorrow and visit one of the florists. The last time I had beautiful roses blooming in my room was on the 26th of January, on my Birthday.

I'm thinking about getting new ones tomorrow. Roses on a Sunday, it doesn't sound too bad? :) Some of you might wonder why? Am I celebrating something or is it a special occasion? The answer to both questions is no. I just feel like I deserve it. That's all :)

I love the rain.

I have always loved the rain. Most people don't like the cold and this wet kind of thing. The sound of rain is soothing for the soul and releases all the pain. Soon shall new life blossom, welcome beloved spring.

I love the reflection of water. A pure and innocent image may be shown on the surface but be aware for it is fragile like the wings of a butterfly. One day I shall pass all my knowledge within the subject to my son or daughter. I love those days when the water is clear as the endless summer sky.

I have always loved the rain. For me it has always been the water with all the answers. No matter where I have been I have seen it in many different kinds of shapes, even while sitting on an aeroplane. No wonder I love the melody "Singing in the rain" with Gene Kelly, the world's most brilliant star among all dancers.

Rasberry pancakes.

Luxury breakfast. Maybe I will prepare some for tomorrow ;)

A list on a Friday.

Mood: Nothing but smiles :)

Done: Breakfast & checked my e-mail

Best: Yesterday's visit to Corinne & Friends where I had my spa/skin treatment
Worst: Still struggling with this stupid cold
Weather: The sun is back & she brought a blue sky too ;)

Click, click, click!

Picture: Collage made by me, pictures from H&M

Despite the fact that there are still high piles of snow everywhere I go across the streets in Stockholm the shops are now full of spring news. Normally if one item becomes "popular" from a big clothing brand such as H&M in Stockholm it is usually sold out very fast in the shops.

Luckily they have a shop online where I could get a hold of these three pairs of shoes (as seen in the collage above). Last year I searched for the black espadrilles with the beige wedge heels but they were completely sold out everywhere.

Guess if I it made me thrilled to see that they have launched the same model for the S/S collection of 2010 as well? ;) Yay! Anyway therefore I simply had to "click, click, click!" them home today and hopefully they will arrive some time in April right in time before it gets warmer.

Blueberry Muffins.

Yesterday when I came home from work I found my mother in the kitchen baking delicious blueberry muffins (!) somehow I forgot about trying one of them during the evening. Luckily my brothers had saved some for me and so I tried it this afternoon.

Apparently they are "healthy muffins" with less sugar but with the blueberry flavour they still taste sweet. Ill ask her for the recipe later! I hope you've had a great start of the new week! :)
