Red carpet faves!

 Nice dresses this year!

Flowy pale colors: Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Haute Couture and Florence Welch in Valentino Haute Couture.

The cast from Black Swan went purple and flowy.
Natalie Portman looked cute in Rodarte and Mila Kunis looked stunning and seductive in laced Elie Saab Couture.

Simplicity!
Michelle Williams looked Paris chic in Chanel Haute Couture and Jennifer Lawrence looked sexy and stunning in Calvin Klein Collection.

 
Shimmery silvers:
Gwyneth Paltrow looked gorgeous in Calvin Klein Collection and Mandy Moore looked fairytaleishly stunning in my favourite dress of the night, from Monique Lhuillier.

The classically beautiful Ball-gowns:
Camila Alves looked beautiful in a black dress from Kaufman Franco, and together with Matthew McConaughey (in Dolce & Gabbana) they were the most beautiful couple of the night! Marisa Tomei looked chic in vintage Charles James from Lily et Cie couture.

Beyond addicted

Sandra from 5 inch and up has quite a shoe collection. Maybe someday I will too!
Check it out.

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

New ring from Gina Tricot!


Dream house

Since I'm going to be apartment-less soon (we will probably move out this summer due to some exchange/traveling plans), I will only dream on about stuff for my non existing apartment. It would indeed be stupid to spend the little money I have on home deco, but IF I had the money AND a place to call home (for a long time to come, you know..) I would hoppedy hop straight to the nearest store to buy the following;

Rubber piggybank owls. How cool are they?! (Yup, still not over my owl mania) Found at Illums Bolighus, 150kr.

A cool silver globe. I have to have a globe! I had one as a kid, and it was actually worn down to the point where the surface cracked! These are from Illums Bolighus.

Yup, another owl. It would serve the purpose of being cute. That's it. And then there is the wrinkly "vase", kinda cool too.
From Illums Bolighus.

Okay I have worked as a Moomin for many years, so I kinda have a reason for liking it/growing fond of it. Also found in Illums Boligus, and are from the finnish label Iittala.

This is a must. L-o-v-e. Get it in Ikea for 229kr.

Puerto Galera - part 1

9.1.11-17.1.11
Okay, so almost the last Philippine-post (one more after this one to go)!


 Our hotel room. The best room by far! We had our own kitchen, so we made our own unhealthy breakfast every morning.


 View from the room.


 A jeepney (again)


 On the streets of Puerto Galera.


The kids playing on the beach. 


 On the "main street".


The beach where the boats that took us to the floating bars were stationed.

 Oh them pearls...


 The town drunk. (I didn't know this when I took the photo).


 The hotel we would have stayed at, if they would have had room..


Big peep hole.

Welcome.

A rare full breed dog.

Sabang beach, Puerto Galera.

Popular dish. Didn't have any though! ...ewh...

Cutie...

On one of the floating bars.

My friend...:) (who later peed on my bag. Then no longer my friend)

CLouds came, clouds went. Mostly came though.

Hihii my other friend! who apparently didn't want to be mine :/

Frog purse, anyone?

Silk dress from Zara.

Out with the old, in with the new

Bye bye old Converse! (which btw are beige, not supposed to be white)


And hello new ones!

I got them as a christmas present. I know old news huh!?
But the thing is that I have had them in Finland, and I didn't have room to transport them over here in my filled up backpack... So when my dad stopped by last week and gave me a sack with all the stuff I left in finland, I was happily reunited with my unused new Converse!

( And my roommate is genuinely happy that the the ones on the first picture are in the garbage...wonder why...;)? )

I'm in big trouble!

I know I write about stuff that other people already have been writing about. Some say it's copying, some say it's inspiration. In this case, it's definitely an inspiration to copy!
Trine from the inspiring Presenting showed these new shoes on her blog, and instantly, I was sold. 

I. want. those. shoes.

They are from Nelly.com and cost only 299kr. (!!!)


This picture is stolen from Presenting. Man I wish I'd seen them first!
Should I go all copycat on this...?
