SUNDAY PILATES

When I began doing pilates, I promised myself to only do it during weekdays, but I think that I'm going to begin doing it on Sundays as well.

It'll be a re-freshing Sunday pilates.

Then a milky bath, since I didn't have time for bubble bath yesterday.

The temperature in Sweden right now is 26. It's summer!

I want ice-cream.

or maybe McDonald's new McFlurry meringue......or the seasonal blueberry/vanilla pie

Hahaha...okay...someone wants something sweet right now...

おはよー

Today is Mother's Day in Sweden. I'm going to make a call to mami a bit later to check if the flowers has reached her.


Today I actually woke up around 6AM, since it's almost light all the time in Sweden now. From 5 to 23...so I'm having a really hard to going to sleep and sleeping properly *sigh*
My friend recommended me an eyecover-mask, you know, those you get when you fly. But I always end up tearing it away during my heavy sleeping (according to "someone", I move and scratch myself a lot during my sleep)

Ok, time for some breakfast. Must go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some bread, and maybe som eggs and bacon? Hey, it's Sunday afterall. A little bit of luxury wouldn't hurt (*^▽^*)

ブラック・・・

3 x black bags

I think I must change my pattern when I buy bags...too many black ones

(・・。)ゞ

お出かけ

Last year when Balmain first showed their collection with total focus on shoulders, I was a bit skeptical about the whole thing. It felt so weird suddenly seeing the shoulder pads coming back, since I know that it was so "in" during the 80's, or was it even the 70's?

Well, at least I know that my sweet mami has a lot of clothing with shoulder pads *smile*

But today after lunch, I swung by H&M and got interested in this little black dress.

Yes, I have invested in a new LBD. Believe it or not

 

(*ﾟｰﾟ)ゞ

 

It's very much inspired by Balmain's shoulder focus, and it's really edgy.

Body-fitted.

Semi-blank material.

Shoulder focus.

I felt like a superwoman wearing it, hahaha...

From now on I'm going to call it my powersuit.

See the little focus on the shoulders?

Ok, Balmain, you got me hooked.

お出かけ

I just finished my light breakfast today, since I'll be having dim sum with a friend in about 2 hours.

The weather is great today! Supersunny and warm. What shall I wear?

**

Tomorrow is Mother's Day in Sweden, since I won't be home, I sended some beautiful flowers instead.

I wonder why Mother's Day occur on different days around the world?

ターミネーター4

Guess who is going to the premiere of the new Terminator movie!

On wednesday I'm going to hit the cinema again and watch Terminator Salvation.

I'm so looking forward to it!

Oh, and did I mention that the finale seminar went quite well?

So, my finale essay is done. Time for job-hunting I guess...

Today I actually applied for a job in Hiroshima, Japan.

We'll see how it'll turn out...

インスピレーション

The Kaknäs tower

コーラル・ピンク

Yesterday's details were coral and pink.

I had mami's vintage scarf and Mavala's nail ink "La Paz".

Pics from Kaknästornet soon!

pants (Mamgo)

pumps (Lowrys Farm)

明日です。

Tomorrow is D day. My last seminar for my finale essay.

A bit nervous to be honest, but I think that me and my writing partner M did a nice job.

We are going to celebrate our work by going up to the Kaknästornet (a little bit off from Stockholm central) and eat. And if we have time, maybe catch a movie or something later. I want to see Nicholas Cage's new movie, Knowing. I don't know why but I'm a little bit weak for Mr. Cage, hahaha... My favorite movie featuring him must be The Rock. Excellent music and great actors (Sean Connery etc etc).

So what have I been up to so far today?
Morning meeting.
Pilates.
Lunch.
Yeah, that's about it. I think I must begin packing down some more stuff before I move back to my hometown.
I'm certainly going to miss my little apartment.

肉じゃが☆

It's cooking

 

(*^▽^*)

*drumsounds*

 

Finished!

I made lot's of it, so tomorrow's lunch will be the same

A=´、｀=)ゞ

肉じゃがを作ってます☆

Today I'm making traditional Japanese food, nikujaga.
Before I have always tended to make it quite dry, to say soupless.
But during my recent Japanese trip W's mami showed me her style and I liked it much better!
So today I'm trying it with lot's of katsuonushi and konbu soup stock. We'll see how it will turn out...
Unfortunately my shirataki noodles are out, so I have to make it without it.

麦茶

Some friends mistake me for being a coffee person, but the truth is that I'm a tea lover.

All kinds of tea, except red tea. I don't know why, but I don't like it....

This is mugicha from my recent Japan trip. I tend to like it only during summer days. Hahaha...

In my apartment I have a shelf for my tea. It must be around 20 different kinds...

Mostly green, but also chai.

And I have no coffee at all at home, don't want the risk to become a addict right

(°∀°)b

昨日のアウトフィット☆

新宿のOIOIで発見しました

Funny wall decoration I found inside OIOI in Shinjuku.

Funny little rhinos.

昨日のアウトフィット

ruffle dress (VILA)

golden studded belt (Gina Tricot)

my almost 3years old patent peeptoes (Din Sko)

CUPCAKESを作りました☆

Some before pics from yesterday, what I mean by that is before the table was filled with beer bottels and garbage, hahaha...

I made three different kinds of cupcakes. The base was carrotcake. The pink is strawberry, the orange is colored and roasted coconut and the brown ones are chocolate with blueberry and almond.

And there was of course also the chocolateballs and cheesecake.

My brother's fridge that was filled with beer. Too bad nobody showed any sign of the Heineken-effect (you know, all the men screaming and being hyper over the Heineken filled room *laughs*)

新しいメーク

My recent trip to Japan didn't consist of so much shopping, but I did find some new make-up.

A water proof mascara from KATE, perfect for the upcoming summer weather and allt the pool playing.

Eyeshadow from INTEGRATE. It's pink:ish brown, shimmering. My new favorite!

Yesterday's party was a success. I think that everyone had a great time.

Some pics from yesterday later...

ピンク・ショック

Diane Krüger in a lovely one piece in the hottest color right now, cerise or as you may call it shocking pink.

Love the simple cuts and shape of this dress.

I'm inspired. This looks like something Zara or Mango (or maybe even H&M?) would make a copy of.

ミーガン・フォックス

I found this quite old pic of Megan Fox on the Internet. Model turned actress. You know her from the Tranformers movie.

I must say that I like her old style more than the style she has today.

Love the red dress, nude heels and the super-sized strawberry. Cute and chic.

日本ではまだ早いのかな

An old pic from　a runway show of Chanel.

All the models are wearing the lovely two-toned tights!

I had them during my trip to Japan, I guess that those were simply too bold for the Tokyians *laughs*

Guess how many people that took a second glance at my legs?

Almost everyone...I just wanted to run away and hide ((((((ﾉﾟ⊿ﾟ)ﾉ

ママの

Yesterday's outfit...well, maybe more like yesterday's details.

I borrowed mami's old vintage scarf.

The pattern and the colors are lovely (*^▽^*)

リボンのピアス

１５０ページから９０ページになりました

As you all may know I'm writing my final thesis right now. Just some weeks ago the essay was in total maybe 150pages. But unfortunately my teachers thought that it was too long and we were told to cut it down.

So now, it's cut down to about 90pages.

I thought that writing enough pages were going to be the major problem, but it turns out to be the other way around. Trying not to write too much. Hahaha...

Soon I'll be heading out to the cinema! *yay*

But my jetlag still hasn't healed yet, I feel super tired *sigh*

Anyway, earlier today I got all the ingredients for saturday. The things that are going to be made is:

Mini cupcakes in the flavors: strawberry, blueberry chocolate and coconut.

Mini chocolateballs with coconut

Mini cheesecakes with passion fruits topping.

 

Saturday is going to be sweet о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

フォーエバー・トゥエンティーワン

This pic is for my friend Saki *laughs*

Look at the crowd outside!

This is the Forever 21 store located in Harajuku, Japan.

I just passed by during my shopping day and saw the huuuuge crowd.

And I just concluded on the fact that Japanese people really, really likes to stand in a line.

Gaaah, I really wanted to go in and go crazy on the shoe section, hahaha...

ちょっとだけ

before

after

 

Not a huge change at all, just re-coloring my hair and cutting my bangs.

Everyone seems to have noticed my haircolor change though, hahaha....

Even my brother's friend commented on it :)

久しぶりのPILATES

Today I finally got to do some pilates. During my 18days in Japan I missed it a lot!

 

Just stretching out my body and working on muscle and balance. Sweet.

Tomorrow I must run some errands, fixing my heels, grocery shopping for Saturday and writing on the essay.

Busy, busy, busy as usual.

 

But believe it or not, next wek on the 29th, I have my final seminar. Which means it's super close to my graduation!!

実家へ

I am back to my cute little hometown Norrköping.

Mum had bought durian for me *laughs*

Love it! Some people think that it's stinky, but for me it doesn't smell anything different than an orange smelling like a orange.

 

Anyway, today's schedule is writing the essay and playing video game at my brother's place tonight.

It'll be me against 5 guys...yay... if it is going to be Call of Duty I'm totally going to lose......

RAGTAGからのブラウス

Before I forget about it, this is the lovely sheer blouse I got from RAGTAG.

It'll have it's debut this saturday I think, teamed up with a grey skirt and heels.

RAGTAG

during my trip to Japan this time I found a lovely sheer, creamy blouse

Second Hand

only for a 1000yen

Made in Japan

 

A pic of it later...

側に

I miss him already.

Just having him by my side makes me calm.

Picture is taken in a park in Kichijouji.

W looks quite tired because his work is busy busy busy.

I wish that I could help him out in some way *sigh*

行きます！

Me and my writing partner has finally decided how we are going to celebrate our essay finish.We are going up to Kaknästornet, on the 30th floor to dine

桜を見えました

A pic from Morioka, me and W saw some blossoms

An old couple passed by and was kind enough to take a picture of us.

me and W, note that the cerise bag is mine, hahaha...

W isn't that metrosexual...

ただいま☆

I'm back in Sweden! Sorry for the bad updating these past days. I've been busy busy and busy.

More updates later ok? (in school right now in a meeting...)

最後のショッピング

Tomorrow I'll spend my day in OMIYA. So the last shopping will be done there since I won't be having more time for that until I fly back to Sweden on Monday.

The items I will be looking for tomorrow will be:

a cluch bag (black or cream, or maybe something boulder)

a one piece (or maybe even two...I want a new LDB)

a nice spring:ish scarf

Well, that's about it. For now...hihi...

I wonder if I can dine at my favorite Shanghai style restaurant in Omiya tomorrow...me want to!! (*^▽^*)

Half of my suitcase is already filled with food, haha...

Lot's of sweets and tea, plus furikake. Gosh, if only Sweden could have a Japanese supermarket, I would be in heaven ≧(´▽｀)≦

早く

The weather in Japan is pretty gloomy today, the sun is hiding behind the thick mass of clouds.

This kind of weather always makes me sleepy and drained.

But right nom I'm trying to focus on my essay, we are almost in the finale stage now, the analysis and end report left. The hardest part maybe?

Anyway, I'm going to write for another hour, then I think that I'm going to head out for some souvenir shopping. Lake Town or just somewhere around the corner?

おなかいっぱい～

Yesterday's dinner was a success! Although we got a late start because of the grocery shopping.

The dinner consisted of:

Swedish meatballs with creamsauce and lingonberry jam

Roasted potatoes with dill

A fresh salad with smoked salmon

Pineapplepie with vanilla ice-cream

yummie yummie

Today I'm heading out to Shinjuku (again!), how many times have I been there this time...5???

Shinjuku is getting boring *laughs*

This week will be my last in Japan for this time, sadly times flies by when you are having fun. As it always does.

But this Wednesday I have something to look foward to!! Nakashima Mika's concert!! о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆
