let’s have a movie marathon

Looking at these photos one might think that I’ve been browsing randomly through several screencap sites, picking up picture from here and there, but no, this is actually a movie. ONE movie. More specifically the movie “Valentine’s Day”, set du premiere on February 12th 2010. With a cast consisiting of :

*Julia Roberts
*Shirley MacLaine
*Queen Latifah
*Bradley Cooper (Hangover)
*Anne Hathaway
*Jennifer Garner
*Jessica Biel
*Jessica Alba
*Ashton Kutcher
*Patrick Dempsey (McDreamy <3)
*Eric Dane (McSteamy <3)
*Jamie Foxx
*Topher Grace (Eric in That 70s Show)
*Taylor Lautner (Jacob in Twilight)
*Taylor Swift
*Emma Roberts (wild child) and
*Joe Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers),

Even I have to admit that this is a film I’ve GOT to see. I generally don’t like romantic comedy crap, but once in a while I soften up and actually like what I see (I though “he’s just not that into you” was sweet). And although this smells like a LOVE ACTUALLY copycat-thingy, I at least am going to see it. Who can say no to any film showing Eric Dane without his shirt on.

Trailer in HD quality here: Valentine’s Day.


tea, silver and cups

I didn’t shop much in Istanbul, but among the few things I got to bring home this snake ring (real silver from the Old Market) and silver/gold necklace from Topshop.

First cup in what is going to be an around the world collection from Starbucks and a new fresh termo-cup so my coffee keeps it’s heat during lectures.

Tea, tea and more tea. Those balls on the picture creates enough tea for 6 persons, and when you put them in hot water it opens up into a flower. Jasmin. And then there’s the rose tea that is actually rose buds. And in the black tea box I now have the most amazing orange tea that cleans out your pores and gives you extra energy.

Istanbul was gorgeous. The food was delicious, the Turkish coffee brings back such good memories from Israel, the belly-dancers were crazy (the one on the picture above had the SICKEST stomach, it was living its own life, so cool), and even though the city has gone through a radical change towards the conservative Muslim lifestyle (wearing shorts has never ever given me that many looks and comments ever), I still loved the mood and feeling.

Yesterday H&Ms new guest-designer was revealed in a press-release, and it’s none other than “the grand old lady of knit” Sonia Rykiel. Her collection will be split into two groups, the first on – which is a underwear collection – will be in stores already on the 5th of November, while the second and larger spring wear collection will be on sale from February 20th 2010. Can’t wait!

From last March, when we were in Denmark. These pictures needed no editing, the light was just perfect when I uploaded them from the camera. I love the space between winter & spring or summer & autumn. When it’s cold outside, but not so cold that you’re freezing to death, and the sun still transport a tiny whisper of warmth. Lovely.

New meets old. Western culture vs Arab culture. Topshop and turkish coffee. Starbucks and the Old Market. Spices. Silver jewelery. Hijabs. Mini skirts. Alcohol = not allowed. Drunk rich kids. Kebab. Smoking. Cats. Tourists. Asia. Turkish Delights. Fake Burberry. Sun. Architectural wonders.

I’m back from Istanbul.

Everything I need to spice up an outfit. Hot-hot-hot shoes, loads of bangles, cool purses and of course signature pieces like the beaded tights and the leather shorts.

The breakfast alone was worth waking up at 7:30am today, and now I have these amazing curls in my hair as well. Like most (or at least many) girls with straight hair I’ve always wanted curls or waves, but I’ve got thick, long and super-straight hair, so curling it every day to watch them disappear within the next 5 minutes has been out of the question. The curls I got today looks good and will be tested, and if they last the day, I’m a believer. They were done with the new straightening iron from Remington, that can be used to curl the hair or straighten it(obivously). Both me and Maria got that one, and the new flat iron that can be used on wet hair. I love being a blogger. ;)

I’m in love with the girl power of these photos. And the hat. And the tigh-high boots, so rough yet feminine and sexy. The asians are starting to do really well editorial-wise.!

Dirty Dancing projected on the roof at Fisk&Vilt.

Dirty Dancing & Patrick Swayze tribute night at Fisk&Vilt. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves (mostly), and just tell you I had a lot of fun. It was worth going to bed at 5am and then having to wake up at nine. Tomorrow me and Maria are going to be models at a Remington style presentation, which means beauty sleep as of right now.

I’m off to meet MA. We’re going to see The Girl Who Played With Fire, and then to Fisk&Vilt to celebrate Patrick Swayze. High-waist shorts and 80′s dress, I’m ready to dance the night away to the beats of Dirty Dancing.

I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
‘Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you

R.I.P. Patrick Swayze <3


I’ve got no inspiration

Lately I have been lacking inspiration both in clothing, blogging and school, and my blogging has been quantity before quality. And I’m sorry. Spamming you with bad posts is no good. SO until I have something worth saying I’m going to shut up and eat my breakfast. :)

The sequel to one of my absolute favourite movies are coming to a cinema near you on October 30th. See the trailer for the first movie here. (couldn’t find a good one for movie two)

books

In 2004 I started to write down what books I read in order to keep track of them all. Since 2006 I have gathered them here instead of in my notebook and they serve as a reminder of how I should read more and compete to beat my old “record”. You can find the complete list here.
