I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE...iPHONE

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

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

MONKI MAKES ME CRAZY

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!

THE BUFFET

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?

MONKI

I'm so happy to be working at 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:

AYOBA!

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.

SPACESHOES

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..

shopping deluxe

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.

lovers, friends & soldiers

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

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.

DRESS ME!

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!!

again & again

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!

from asos:

URBAN OUTFITTERS

Got a newletter from Urban Outfitters (the european), and apparantly they have free shipping until sunday!
I shouldn't get anything..but if I would (or if I will...)
I'd get this:

the boots, aah the boots! doc martens <3 should expand my doc-collection..
the boots with high-heel are sooo comfortable, and you can't really see the beauty in them until you've tried them on!! didn't know they come in brown leather now, but next time I'm in London I'm definately getting them (they're cheaper in england)...give them to me, baby!

also, the pantyhose, they're both nice, but not as nice as these ones (kind of a mix of them both) from asos
