TODAY'S WISE WORDS

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, at least that what they say. He created the birds of the air and the beasts of the fields, and he looked at his creation and he saw that it was good. And then God created man. And its been downhill ever since.

Thats mine - and Dr. Bailey's opinion.

Today's wise words, considering most men remain scum -


My Becky from Bexley knows me too well and gave me this card to welcome me to the twenties. I need to remind myself of this when im not in a shop - Thank you Becks!

And oh - for you guys who know the jealous modern relationship as I do should go see "Last Night" in the cinemas now. I've been waiting for a movie like this for a decade.

ALL THE LIGHTS FOLLOWED CLOSELY BEHIND

These quirky-cool Chanel shoes are more than welcome to decorate my feet this summer. The light bulb-shaped heels are genius!

SHOWTIME

Being a model for one day was undoubtedly one of the most exciting things I have ever done - I would do it again in a heartbeat! Met several sweet people, and the ones at Fretex who arranged the show did an amazing job.

Outfits, ready to hit the runway.

Nice textures. I really liked that feather shrug, not to mention the details of the white shirt.

Will see if I can find some photos of the show itself later!

MY MANTRA

I was featured in my town's local newspaper today, with text and pictures by the sweetest free-lance Oda Leraan. The article was regarding my internship at Piers Atkinson.




Today is sunny! AND I JUST REALISED - FASHION AND SUN IS AS GOOD FRIENDS AS FASHION AND MUSIC! SEDUCE IT!

A MAN'S SHOES

Should reflect his business moral.

After I moved to London, I have learned (by Julian, who else?) that it's not only the Italians who can do fine hand made leather shoes. I envy men with the English brand CHURCH'S shoes. They look so brilliant and fun. As the company says itself - "Church’s shoes are beyond fashion. The great men’s styles such as Oxfords and brogues never date, although colours and details may vary from season to season" they happen to remain so immortally classy.






THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A MAN IN A GOOD SUIT AND A PAIR OF CHURCH'S. And when I notice a man who matches his socks with his tie, I'M SOLD. Why? Because not only does it mean he has got an eye for success, but an eye for DETAILS. It reveals CONFIDENCE!


And, If I had the money...


I would definitely take knowledge of the gents and ADR and buy myself these - by Church's!

NOSTALGIA

As every little girl, I wanted to be a princess when I was younger. A princess fully equipped with silky hair, a beautiful smile and an extravagant and pompous dress. A princess that practically didn't have anything to worry about, except the fresh graze on her knee or the peeled off nail polish on her tiny fingers. A princess that couldn't quite grasp the meaning of why she had to finish all her vegetables at dinner, or why she only was allowed to eat candy on Saturdays. These pictures are undoubtedly taking me back to those days. Good times.

LET'S DISCO

Couldn't keep my hands off this silver clutch from H&M Fashion Against Aids. It's like my own personal disco ball, shaped as a bag!

GOING TO THE TOILET

IF I HAD A SHRINK, HE WOULD TELL ME TO PUT DOWN WORDS ABOUT MY FRUSTRATION ON THE 21ST CENTURY’S SOCIAL NETWORK BRAGGING!


These are my RULES!

1. VIP? Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, The Queen, Brad Pitt, Lady Gaga, Anna Wintour and so on. They are allowed to tell what they had for breakfast and where they are heading of the simple reason that their friends/followers CARE! They are people representing our TIME OF LIVING ON THE PLANET!

2. If you feel the need to expose your life, the need to UNDRESS IT, it’s evidence on lack of people in your life giving you SELF DECLARATION, VERIFICATION AND FEEDBACK. IT’S HUMULIATING.

3. It‘s pretentious. FAÇADE IS NOT INTERESTING. People of 2011 want REAL stories.

4. TECHNOLOGY IS AS FASHION - A CONSTANT ROLLER COASTER. It develops and changes IN A SECOND. It’s good to be in harmony with it, but don’t be NAIVE. New technology is prior to the HUMAN MIND. We don’t always know how to TREAT IT RIGHT UNTIL A DECADE AFTER IT’S RELEASED.

5. Mothers telling where they are HEADING WITH THEIR CHILDREN and revealing babies private facts IS THE WORSTE I SEE! TERRIBLE! IT’S BEING NAIVE, as well as underrating technology!

6. ULTRASOUND IMAGES? WHY DON’T YOU SHOW ME YOUR VAGINA AS WELL! IT’S AS PERSONAL AS IT GETS! ONLY TO BE SHARED WITH OUR DEARESTS!

7. Use the social network for what it’s worth. PROMOTE YOUR COMPANY, DON’T PROMOTE YOURSELF.

8. YOUR HUNGOVER IS NEVER DYNAMIC INFORMATION!

9. It’s a PRIVILEGE to live a materialistic life. To travel and see the world, eat great food and buy shoes. You can SHARE, BUT NOT SPLURGE. IT’S NOT A MATTER OF COURSE FOR EVERYONE!

10. Social networking is the GREATEST invention as an ABROAD STUDENT. I APPRECIATE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH OLD FRIENDS!

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THROWING MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR

Last week I was asked if I wanted to be one of the models for a fashion show hosted by FRETEX UNIKA. (A Norwegian second hand store, for those who don't know). Of course I said yes! So, today I went to a fitting. Here is a tiny preview of the outfit I got; a light grey sparkling shirt (which I loved!) and a black bow tie-ish ting. This show is going to be fabulous!

A few snapshots taken by me, with my fabulous(....) digital camera.

Wednesday. I'm supposed to prepare and study for my Norwegian exam, which is tomorrow. Well, you can probably see how that currently is turning out.

GOING BANANAS

As yellow is the colour this season, I had to buy this yellow fellow from H&M. Will look great combined with a nice summer tan! (That is, if I ever get one. Hah.)
