Audrey Hepburn
Oh Audrey, you are just inspiring me to use the LV Speedy bag more and more.
Note the amazing coat! Luv how the buttons are Asian-inspired and the 3/4 sleeves.

OCEANS
Tomorrow (and tonight!) I'm going to persuade W to go and see the documentary "Oceans" with me.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the trailer here:
ＧＲＥＥＮ・ＦＯＲ・ＳＰＲＩＮＧ
Say hello to my new eye-shadow and nailcolor. The color is close to Chanel's "jade", but contains shimmer...so it makes it a bit lighter than the original. But it's a priceworthy substitute
The eyeshadow is from Shiseido's Maquillage. Luv their make-up!
It doesn't seem green on the pic, but it's lovely!
I think that green will be a great match to all the natural colors that are coming this spring, don't you agree?
(*^▽^*)
Tomorrow is my last "whole day" in Japan. I will be enjoying it with W. So sad to go back again.
But what comes after sadness will always be happiness.
Trust me.

お鍋ＰＡＲＴＹ
Yesterday I had nabe for dinner (again!)
Must be like the fifth time this month *laughs*
This is something I will really miss from Japan, ume-shu! (plum-wine)
坦々めん大好き☆
Sorry for my never-ending food posts *laughs*
But I can't help it!
This is the best tantan-men I've ever had in the world!
Love it!
カップケーキ大好き♥
Yesterday me and a couple of friends made cupcakes!
This time we went to buy a lot of cute toppings (get it at Tokyu Hands right now!)
I must wonder where the beautiful vibrant purple color comes from right?
Well...*drumming sounds*
It comes a la naturally from the purple sweetpotato!
We also made chai-flavored topping and plain with coconut flakes

茶道 2010年1月24日 国分寺
Here comes some pics from the tea ceremony yesterday!
During a traditional tea ceremony you have sweets with the maccha.
Yesterday's sweets were delicious! I kept the red cherry blossom sweet as a souvenir *laughs*
We also enjoyed lunch, which prolonged the whole ceremony.
*yummie*

茶道
Tomorrow I'm going to attend to a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, which means kimono and sitting in seiza style for approx 3-5hours. I wonder if I will be able to stand up after that? *laughs*
I picked out another kimono to borrow for tomorrow, a light jade green with beautiful flowers. Really lovely.
The hairstyle will be this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1TMRHMYDWs&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=89538B9C4F60390A
I warmly recommend her hair tutorial on youtube. Very simple and cute!
Ok, must wake up in about 4hours. Goodnight!

CHANEL SPORTING GOODS
I think that by now, most of my readers know that I'm not a sporty person...
But check out these sporting goods from Chanel! *drools*
*dreaming of the snowboard, so chic!*
Check out more of the goods on Chanel's homepage!
HALLONGROTTOR
Yesterday I found another recipe and the "raspberry caves" turned out perfect!
This time I made mini ones and had raspberry and plum jam.
(-^□^-)
The recipe for approx 20 mini ones:
100gram butter (room temp.)
120gram sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (or vanilla essence)
1 teaspoon baking powder
approx 240gram flour
your favorite jam
(if you like to spice things up, add some cinnamon in the mix)
*
Whip the soft butter and sugar until it becomes white:ish and fluffy,
Add baking powder, vanillga sugar and flour.
Roll it into a length and cut the dough to get the same size.
Roll each piece into small balls and make a hole to add your favorite jam into.
Have the oven on 200celcius and put the pieces in for 10-12minutes. January 22, 2010

今日はリンゴケーキとチャイ☆
 |
Today I made an apple cake and had chai (brought from Sweden)
W's mum and I had it during afternoon tea
A healthy version, reduced sugar amount (brown sugar instead of white as well) and some soba-flour mixed in it. Gives the cake another flavor. It was perfect with chai!
(￣▽+￣*)
Today is Tuesday, which makes it less than 2 weeks left until ET must phone home again *laughs*
I mean, I must go home... I wonder how it'll be going back home after more than 2months of Japanese life, it will be very interesting...
もっと着物ＰＩＣＳ
Here are some more detailed pics of the kimono I wore last Sunday.
The obi (belt) was fantastic, and the setting of it!
W's mum is great, thank you for lending me everything
(*^▽^*)

私のバッグ
Bag (W Closet), handcream (Apoteket), gloves, MP3 (Sony), lipbalm (Ettusais), mobilephone (LG), alcoholic-gel (Apoteket), medicine for motion-sickness (some drugstore in Japan), calender, heart-shaped pouch & creditcard-pouch (Louis Vuitton), omamori (temple in Nikko), sweets (Glico)
This is what's in my bag right now.
The heartshaped pouch and cherry-pouch is two of my favorite items from Louis Vuitton.
They are for my, timeless pieces. I'll be using these when I'm a granny *laughs*
Something else I always travel with in my bag is sweets and my MP3.
Must-haves.
During winter (and summer...) I have quite dry hands and lips, so handcream (a new budget favorite of mine from Apoteket in Sweden) and lipbalm are also must-haves in my bag.
The lipstick is from Ettusais. Really good and gives you soft lips! (^з^)-☆
And lastly, pills for my motion-sickness, since I travel a lot by train here in Tokyo.
Ok, now I want to see what's in your bag!
(￣∇￣+)
ＣＯＵＰＬＥ・ＳＨＯＴＳ
A huge thanks to W's mum that took the picture!
In the car, on our way to the temple.
W is setting the navigation, and I'm disturbing him with the camera again *laughs*

今晩は新年会です♪
Doutzen Kroes
All these drinking parties in Japan does not seem to end. Tonight is no exception either.
I'll be heading to Shinjuku for a "shinnenkai" as they say in Japanese.
Care to join me? 
Tonight I want to be like Doutzen on the pic, dressed in black, red nails and fierce heels.
I miss my wardrobe in Sweden! *laughs*

The Devil Wears Prada
Japanese Television sent this movie tonight, so I have been watching it.
All the clothes *drools*
Anna Hathaway is also so beautiful!
