going home

just booked a ticket to go "back home" to Linköping for the weekend...this is probably my only free weekend during the autumn, and I would like to bring some clothes & my guitar down from up there...oh and also, to meet my mom, of course...

trying to think of which friends still live there, but can only think of 2!! crazy

only bought a ticket to go there, a last-minute ticket. and hope i'll find one back aswell, the day before. the tickets are sooo damn expensive right now!!

anyway, this weekend is City Art Link, a culturefetsival and my mom is one of the biggest acts, well, the shop..we're gonna have a big fashionshow, and bands playing, friday & saturday at Saga teatern, and afterparty at Platens saturday night, so come if you're in Linköping!!

happiness

ooooh deaaar good, what a great day! just had such an amazing day, i was on a really good mood all day, sun was shining...
can't tell you all the details, but basically i went to monki to buy some nice shoes!
then I found out that I'll might start working extra at another monki-store, gonna test-work next week, but i should do pretty well i hope, so then it's gonna be mostly weekends and alot around christmas, yey!!

so this autumn is gonna be busy, fulltime school, voluntaring at DocLounge (culture/movieproject), working at the bar and then monki...

I don't know..feel kind of tired now, just got back home from the bar where i work and this aaaaaaaaawesome afro-band jammed a bit to night, so great! you have to come see them, think they play every (or every second?) wednesday! more info when I know! be sure that you'll dance! :)

MONKI

also did some shopping today, surprise surprise! why am I spending all of my students-loan on clothes?!..and food...and shoes..and beer
but hey, what do you think about the hat? nice, huh? nice with some color for once (though I'm thinking of getting it in black too hah!)
I've become addicted to hats now that it's so fucking cold outside and I'm having a bad hairday every single day..

also reserved these shoes, gonna get them tomorrow..i think..they're cheap! and they kind of look like the ones I've been looking around for..so it's ok? promise not to buy anymore shoes..for a couple of weeks..so should I get them?

tattoo

bad blogging today.
but you must admit I've been getting better at blogging, and showing you photos and stuff, right?

anyway, had a long and utterly boring school-day..it's getting too confusing now, groupwork, homework, and examination all in a big mix! Luckily, I'm studying at Media, which means everyone in my class are really layed back and not too stressed to study..hmm

anyways, went to a tattooshop , basically the only one I wanted to get my tattoo at, to see what price they would take for my design ( i will show you, but don't want to put it out too soon, i want it to be unique)...anyway, they wanted even more than double of what I thought they would say, so I'm checking around for other options now..also It's quite big and the guy thought I might need 2 sessions. aargh! doesn't he know I have no patience whatsoever..i want things to be finished, and I want it now!

so do you guys have any extraordinary advice on good tattoo-shops in the south of sweden? or maybe in copenhagen?

fink music

Back home in Malmö, in my little black chair, infront of you, my dear reader. well, virtually I am, no?
Listening to a great (for me) new music-discovery, Fink (listen if you haven't yet)..

Should read some articles for school tomorrow,
but in an hour they show Big Fish on TV, and I haven't seen it in so long..would like to see it again..

this music makes me nostalgic,
missing friends, places, persons, smells, clothes, feelings, good times..
I don't know what's ahead of me, but I think it will be good..

soon, pictures from my trip to Oslo..

keep commentating, asking or critisizing - it makes me feel like there's somebody out there.
lots of love tonight, and all other nights too

bugges

BUGGES

bye bye oslo

design: Mats Ottdal

hey guys, (why do i always start a post like this..boring like hell)
feeling pretty fly today, eventhough me & amanda came back to the appartment at 06.42 this morning..the reason i can remember the exact time is because i hadn't been drining anything since around 01.30..just felt like i had enough and couldn't even think of beer, but i had a greta night anyway. we had an afterparty at Diana's, with our new friend Mats, a norwegian graphic designer, who works in NYC, Paris and whatnot..he's awesome!

trying to get the girls to move their asses and take me to the Birkelund-fleamarket, later on we're going out to eat, yum!

I had such a nice weekend here, i really like the norwegian language, I'm honestly thinking about only speaking norwegian when i get back home..koselig!!

safron lentil soup recipe

got a really nice comment today, that made me really happy.
it was from matilda, and she said that my safron/lentil-soup was one of the most delicious things she's ever tasted!!
sooo, for you who never read it when I posted it last time:

Gonna go out with my analogue camera, get some black/white film and take some photos, in the rain.

there's just something about big cities..

oslo appartment

so, waking up, in a beautiful home in Oslo..
Don't know if I ever told you, but I love coming home to people, see how they live, what kind of things they decorated with, souvernirs form their trips..and mostly, I love to imagine how I would have decorated..
This appartment has alot of potenciality..high ceiling, big windows..

so I'm sitting here with a big cup of Tea, Amanda & Emelie are working, Penne is sleeping...me, I'm gonna try to write something for my school-report, and then I'm heading out to the city centre, to do some shopping..well maybe not, cause oslo is disgustingly expensive, but hey, I'm on vacation!

as my camera doesnt work properly I can't show you my photos of the appartment yet, but I found some old ones, from Amandas blog, from just when they mopved in here...the photos are reversed though, but you can still see how nice it is..

blue oslo

hey guys! I'm in our dear neighbour-country, Norway!
visiting my dear Amanda that i lived together with in barcelona & london...it's so nice to see her again, and her friends are awesome too, we're gonna have a grrreat weekend!
already visited her job, had some delicious bruschettas, and did a little shopping..
walked past BLÅ (pictures) and watched some crazy-ass art! probably we're gonna go there sunday evening for some beer and jazz-music..
this weekend is gonna be so great!
just need to write that report for school too..hmm

have a nice weekend guys!

Oslo

hey guys, I've been busy all day, school, work, and now finally - packing. I'm heading off for Oslo tomorrow, gonna visit some friends, and just enjoy free-time ( although i will have to study, write a reportage, while I'm gone)..eat Amandas wonderful food, go to flea-markets, have coffee and cupcakes at Amandas job..life's gonna be great!

moreover, my beauiful mom sent me a huge carton filled with some clothes & stuff I missed. mostly winter-clothes, which I really need, as it's getting freezing over here! I was also reunited with my dear Doc Martens, thats true love!

I'll bring my computer to Oslo so hopefully I'll be able to update you while I'm there..If any of you have any advice on what to do or where to go in Oslo, let me know!

take care
love
V

palea porcelain

so, the project I wrote about earlier -
i read this post this morning and immidiately felt eager to try it myself!
I've been thinking about starting some kind of porcelain-decoration for a while now, as I've also got alot of inspiration from NinaInvorm..

so I headed out with a mission to get my very own porcelain paint pen..
here's the result, and I just want to do more more more!
friends & family, you can expect to get some of these, they're great gifts, aren't they?!

help

hey guys, finished the banner now, as you can see.. I had a nother option though, which I liked too, I can't choose which one , can you help me?

CLICK ME

a basket full of love

as you can see I changed the layout a bit, this is the two types i usually go between TOO MUCH or TOO LITTLE..white, clean..yeah, I like it. puts more focus on the pictures etc.

Been out running errand all day,
ended up at Myrorna (charity-shop), came back out with a big basket (i think i will put magazines in it) & a pair of trashed jeans-shorts (you can't really see the trashed part, cause it's all at the back, stiches, hems and patches)

Oh I also bought something else, but I'm working on decorating it right now, so you'll see more of that project soon..

now I'm hungry like crazy, I think there are some fishsticks waiting for me in the freezer..

shapes

first of all;

my new favourite blog

second of all;
library, and creative shopping, but first omelette for brunch!

busy autumn

sorry for not posting too much today..
it's just been one of those busy days, head is spinning around..

came back from school, got a phonecall, and guess who it was?!
do you remember me getting that interview at a quite big & famous (and nice!) clothing-store in july? well, i didnt get the post right then, but she said she thought i seemed cool and that she would call next time they needed someone..well she actually did! today!
so, i think they're looking for a part-time worker...my oh my how much do i want it! but I'm studying full-time, already extraworking at the bluesbar some nights a week, and im gonna start working as a volunteer at a project called DocLounge (dj, bands, mingle, bar and documenatry-movies)...
but. i want it. i can make it? i just need to sacrifice alot of free-time, and some of my studying-time...but i can do it..busy woman!?

we'll see, going there wednesday to talk about it anyway!
wish me good luck

love,
V

happy

this is what i need, put a smile on my face tonight:

swedish election

i actually thought there was hope for sweden, but when a rasist-party like sverigedemokraterna are elected into the parliament, there is nothing but shame..it doesn't stop there, no, nor does the party with the actual majority of votes win, but the egoistic party who wants rich people to get richer, and poor people to stay poor...it could be so simple to just vote for your own pocket, cause if you already have a stabile economy, it'll get even better now, but is there no hope for caring about other people anymore?

raindrops

oh, we were planning to go to Bastionen, the theatre where our landlord is working..
there would be some dj, mingle, drinks, and watching the election..
but right now I feel a bit grey and tired, it's raining outside and I'm feeling for movie and a cup of tea....and some of that delicious chocolate-cake Johanna gave us..
also, I'm regretting letting my bicycle standing out in the rain..

so i don't know right now, how my evening is gonna end.
but i know I'm quite happy

scones & party

source: kiwi

hey people,
I had a really nice evening yesterday, feeling it today though but Mathilda just made some scones so we listened to jazz & ate scones for breakfast..should be like this every week-end..

yesterday we had a looong day in school, but a quite interesting one, about writing reportages and stuff..by the end of the afternoon i was shaking with irritation though as I sat at the same table as the most irritiating person in the whole fucking world..please god, let her not be in our class these coming 3 years..

anyway, staright after we went into town, me and a couple of classmates, had a few drinks at a friends appartment, and then went to an after-work-thing that nöjesguiden ( a magazine) hosted...free drinks and food, ain't complaining!!

had to run to meet up with Mathilda at 7 as we had tickets for a theatre , which was connected a bit with the upcoming election..it was preety funny...and strange

after that, back to my classmate's appartment, which made me stunned...it's in the middle of the best street in Malmö, HUUUUUUUUGE, like 8 enormous rooms, it took an hour to go to the toilet form his room..kind of...
it was so nice, we drank apple-cinnamon-whine and danced to loads of different music..

I'm just so happy to be in this class, surrounded by all of these creative people , musicians, writers, producers...it's so awesome! we're gonna have loads of cool projects going on..

yeah, after that we went out to KB, and the evening ended in Annas appartment, until i dragged my self home on my bicycle..

now : shower, grocery-shopping, studying and work..

if you're in Malmö, stop by mässingshornet, kirseberg tonight, it's gonna be awesome!! a night in Jimi Hendrix memory

vv brown

i miss my guitar, would like to do a cover of this one..

patch me!

so yeah, i bought the hush puppies..but I'm still looking for a pair of nice (cheap?) jodhpurs...
I'm also really into these cardigans with elbow-patches, NEED ONE NOW! have you seen any nice ones out there in sweden?
there is one at åhléns which is quite nice, but there is an even better one at ZARA! knitted grey with brown patches, adore!!

also, I went past MYRORNA (a swedish charity-shop), and just when i was about to give up (was thinking i wouldn't find any goodies today anyway) i saw a black leather weekend-bag, exactly the thing I've been needing now, since I'm gonna go to Oslo next week, and hopefully some other places this autumn..
didn't dare to look at the price-tag as vintage leatherbags are usually quite expensive, but guess what I payed...6 euros!
too tired to take a photo, but it looks a little somethin like this one, just nicer and older and with sidepockets:

now bean & chickpeas-salad, then off to work

bought

just bought a pair of shoes, guess which ones (pictures 2 posts down)

you got me

just some good music for you
Miss Erykah Badu

shoes!!!

yeah, I should be studying...and I will..just give me 10 more minutes..
trying to find some shoes here, but i can't decide for which ones to go for..
I went to åhléns to reserve the brown suede ones today, mostly because i dont want anybody else to buy the last pair, eventhough i know they're too expensive for me right now..
but also, I'm a bit ill, and it's so cold outside.. so..maybe I would feel better with a pair of new shoes? (or actually a jacket cause I'm freezing my ass off!! i read it was 12 degrees outside today!!)

always wanted these kind of shoes, hush puppies...just found a pair in my own size, but I don't know if I should buy shoes on the internet without trying them on...hmmm


I've also been wanting to get these jodhpur-boots..most shops have them in black, but I'm thinking about getting brown ones instead? the only ones I could find though, were from vagabond, have you seen any anywhere else?

which ones should I go for?

tattoo

help!

it's time for my next tattoo...but where?
would've liked to have Klara do it, I love here sence for details & colours, maybe it's worth going to stockholm for it..
but do you know any good tattoo-artists/studios in or around Malmö? please?

shoes shoes shoes

what a day, what a day, busy busy..
I'm so tired right now..

spent the day like this:
leaving a bicycle at a friends house,
then meeting up Johanna in town, stopped by Åhléns, and I found a pair of beautiful shoes! there were only one pair left in the colour I wanted, and they were my size!! of course i was thinking i shouldn't, and that i can't afford them, but i should've reserved them for tomorrow or something! will go back tomorrow and check, but they are probably gone by then, oh i love love love them!!!. they're the ones on the first picture, but they look so damn ugly in black, the ones i tried were in brown/cognac suede...mmm...but then again, when would i wear them, and with what?
also looked at these shoes, i like!!

aaanyways, after buying some striped electricity-tape (i'm gonna make my bike striped), we were really hungry and headed out for some food..spontaniously and fortunately, we decided to go for some indian (i think it's a tradition when it comes to me and johanna ...and mimmi!)..mmmm..best thing is, i'm gonna eat indian tomorrow aswell, gonna have 2 guests, amanda from sweden & sigrid from denmark! yey

news

I'm in total shock..

into the wild

yesterday we watched Into the wild, second time for me..
oh it's such a heavy movie, beautiful, sad...true..


happiness only real when shared

Oslo baby!

so this one is for you amanda:

I'm planning to go to Oslo, maybe I already told you..probably it will be the weekend around 24th of october..I'll be free from school 5 days, so probably I'm gonna spend 2 days in Gothenburg and 3 in Oslo...visiting some old dear friends...I just hope we won't have too much in school around that time, so I'll spend the weekend studying...

I'm looing forward to seeing Oslo, last time I was there I was 9, and I don't really remember it..also, cause I've been planning to move there several times, but never felt like it in the end.. I'm sure I will like the city though, but it's damn expensive...looking forward seeing Amandas café, eating some delicious food she prepares for me, drinking some norwegian beer, and whetever else we will do ..

see you soon darling!

oh, and if you have any advice on what to do or where to go in Oslo (or Gothernburg) , tell me!!

personal

hey people..
I've up until now had a pretty cofortable and nice day, and i hope it will stay the same

had a seminare this morning, of course i accindentally put my alarm one hour later than i should, and realized i was late by the time i should've been in school. but i'm fast, and came 10 minutes later, perfectly in time for the group-discussions we were about to have..
I've learnt so much in school only this week, and after having talked so much about facebook and blogs, I'm analyzing every aspect of it. all the time.

after school , it was pretty early anyway, so i went hope, filled my stomach with some delicious pasta and had a little nap. well i got 2 phonecalls so couldnt really sleep, and now i'm here.
think i'm gonna relax with tea , cookies & true blood soon.

tonight i'm going out with nella, maybe some beer & dancing is awaiting me
I'm enjoying life to it's fullest right now
are you?

you are what you eat

this is pretty motherfuckin' disgusting..
but what's more disgusting is that most of you eat this shit, without thinking about where it even comes from..yeah it's just sooooo tasty..

(i guess you can't read the picture, but maybe just google chicken head nuggets mcdonalds, and you'll be able to read about the woman who enjoyed her nuggets until she found this chicken-head..)

my room

in case you're wondering how my new room looks like, here are some blurry pictures of half of my room:
