Day 3, Istanbul

Day 3:

We saw how they made ugly-ass jewelry. Did you know that the turkish people love everything that's plastic/polyester and sparkles? Eeewh...

We saw them cut fabric for patterns by hand.

We went to the grand Bazar. Uh all that hustling.

We went to the spice bazar. "Hey lady yes please" they shouted. And "Angel" as well. Probably the worst marketing trick ever.

Indian Köri.

We had dinner at a place that actually served something that resembled food.

Istanbul by night.

Home Sweet Home

Hi and hello, back from Istanbul. Or I came home late late late friday night so I pretty much slept the entire day yesterday until I had to get up to go out for a birthday "party", which eded up being a lot of fun! And Emily liked my rings, that's all that matters:)

Well as I predicted, I have lots of pic's coming up now from Istanbul. Enjoy or don't look, up to you.

Day 1:

We arrived at the hotel at around 5 pm. Them we went out into the dark night of Istanbul in search for some food. I wouldn't say we succeeded very well.

We ate at something like Gordon Ramsey's in Istanbul. At least 5 star quality food. Not.

Later we dragged our tired asses down to some bars. Not so cheap as one would have hoped...:/

 We celebrated Madeleine's birthday. And danced all night long. Or at least until 1 am when we went home.

Party party.

Day 2:

Day 2 was our day off. We explored the neighborhood and went to the Hamam (= turkish sauna/spa). Very Nice!

We bought corn.

We went to the Hamam.

We made love to the camera.

We went by the Blue Mosque. 

We looked at weird turkish candy.

We walked around.

We died and went to heaven.

And we finished off with a well deserved delicious meal.

Ayoe

Love this song.

Beautiful Em

On Wednesday last week I went on a date with an old fling. We went to the Fashionistas event and then out for dinner. I think I'm in love again...

Emily is here in CPH as an intern, in Bllack Noir. Not bad! We had a great time, and ended up talking until late that night. We went out for burgers at Cafe WannaB (long live two-for-one, and their coupons to cheaper food!) and the burgers were actually really good! They even remembered to not put mayo or dressing in either of our burgers, so a big thumbs up for that.

It was nice catching up, and now I'm sure I'll make her love this city;)

She was even nice enough to let me take a picture of her, coz I wanted to show you how genes can be the best gift ever! Coz some of us just aren't that lucky...:/

Presenting todays outfit and inspiration of the day, Emily; 

Pretty little thing, dressed in all black. Love it.

The nail-polish massgrave

Now well in Istanbul I thought I might introduce two new arrivals to my nail-polish collection. Received these two babes in the mail a couple of days ago. Bought them on no other them eBay... The Essie is in the color 'Bordeaux' and has this lovely deep red color. I tried it on at Maria's place and immediately fell in love. With the OPI one I took a shot, and yup, it paid off! The OPI is in the color 'You Don't Know Jaques!'. My first OPI nail-polish, how exciting:)!

Since I have so many nail-polishes and I can't seem to get enough of them, I thought I'd better organize them so that I don't forget what I have. Plus I ought to throw the old ones out I guess...buhuuu:( So a bigger project to when I get back home...

I just can't seem to get enough of...!


p.s this post if for you Long, happy birthday!

Istan to the Bul

Hola People!

Today is the day that I should already be packed and ready to go, but noooh, I'm still chillin' in my jammies... It's a big day today, coz not only is it J-day (or maybe C-day translated in english...?) but also the day that I have to be at the airport very early tomorrow morning, meaning pretty late tonight = no sleep (well I didn't plan on sleeping either way...). I have to be at the airport no later than 4.30 Am (??!?!) to be ready to take of to Istanbul. Gosh I don't know if I'm still going to be extremely intoxicated or bordering on a very bad hangover... We'll see. I'm not going to miss J-day just because I'm going on a study trip the "next morning", that's for sure.

So I'm going to be gone until Saturday. I have some planned posts for you, no too many but still, coz I'm not so sure I'll be able to update from the land of the Turkish Yoghourt. I'm not bringing my computer; I'm afraid of the smashing and the wrecking... So you will probably be bombed with Istanbul posts when I get back:) Even though I'm pretty pissed that my Nikon d7000 is still not available in stores, I'll do my best on the picture front with my old camera.

Now I'm going to pack... So I can be finished in time for a romantic meal with my roommate. She's making duck with potatoes and sauce, very christmasy, yum! Afterwards we will go out on the town to secure a spot somewhere we can be sure to have a cold christmas beer at 20.59! See you next Saturday!

For those of you who don't know what J-day is; it is the the day the christmas beer comes out, and it is always the first friday in November. You are not allowed to serve it before 20.59, and that's were all hell brakes loose. People running around with fake snow and blue elf-hats...It's really fun, and it seems like people are more festive than on New Years eve! It almost borders to a national holiday. I'll try and take some pictures to show you...

Wow...?

Okay I admit I didn't know this, I just found out. Might be because I really dislike Jenny/Taylor Momsen, coz of the Jenny-character in GG. So obviously I'm not interested in hearing any news about her... but now hmmm... 

So I just found out that she sings, and has a band called The Pretty Reckless. I just wanted to hear her voice when she sings, so I Youtubed her, and, gosh was I in for a surprise! Her voice is awesome, like really genuinely good! I would never have expected that...truly cool! 

Here is an acoustic version of the song "Zombie".





Keep in mind that I still hate her hair and her coked up makeup (and the very slutty outfits in the other videos), but her voice kind of makes up for it. Maybe I won't be a huge fan of the kind of music she makes, but I do appreciate a cool voice.
Yes, I believe I might come to liking her more now....maybe.

Xoxo GG

Okay best Gossip Girl episode by far! Wooh!

That's all.

Lanvin heart H&M

Watch it here!

Here you have a list of the prices and what I believe to be the full collection from H&M's press release. The prices are a bit high, almost all the dresses are 1299 danish krona. But I still spot some things that go under the must have category! I advice you to check it out, coz you get a better feeling of the clothes in the still shots and the lookbook:) Enjoy!

Just came home from the gym whereI took a Latinmix class. I still hope to one day have a firm butt like D Lowe's.

Outfit to the World Press Photo exhibition. Not a happy exhibition by the way... It's a cruel world we live in.

Wearing Gina Tricot knit, H&M faux leather pants, Nilsson booties, Guess watch and random silver rings (one is my mom's and I got it for my graduation)

Nude enthusiast, Ryan McGinley

Stumbled across this photographers page.  I am intrigued. Here are my favourites from his latest photo exhibition. If you find it interesting, be sure to check out his page; here. And not only this photo series  "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere", but also "Moonmilk" and his other projects. But viewer discretion is advised, cos this guy is clearly into nudity!
I present you; Ryan McGinley.

LOVE this picture, I want this on my wall!

Today I'm going to see a photo exhibition; World Press Photo. It is a photo competition for people around the world and I guess it's the best of the best from these pictures that is displayed. If you are interested you can read more here.

Looking forward to it!
