Paris Je t'aime!

I have unfortunately only been to Paris once... And I am longing back! The light in Paris, the colors... everything is just beautiful!

This movie is the most wonderful thing ever made...and the perfume smells soo good!
My uncle is moving to Paris for a month in February with his art school, and my cusin are going to live in Paris for four months this spring. If I am jealouse? You bet I am... If I ever go there again (and thats just a matter of time)I am going to bring this Moleskin City Guide .
I would eat croissants every morning wearing lace, pearls and red nailvarnish...

and by lunch-time I would have drinks with my cute little dog...

and the rest of the day I would spend shopping, walking in the park and writing a novel. I would stay out into the early hours, flirting and dancing and live a truly bohemian life.

wouldn't living in Paris be great?

I Want Candy...

We had a school project about the classical theater, and then we saw Mari Antoinette. It's not like we haven't seen it before, Ida and I love it, but I have been so into candy-colors afterwards. I took these pictures of things I love in candy hues.
What I love about Marie Antoinette is that I can relate to her as a young girl. The shopping, partying and all the pretty things that she fills her live with is just the same things and activities I fill my live with. When my life is stuffed with material beauty I am not any happier, my room is just way much messier. So if you like me is tired of all the stuff, buy less and give more. Lately I am trying to convince myself with that my identity is not defined upon what I have, it is my actions that defines who I am. If you think that sounds too boring, you can, like me calm yourself with the fact that it's better both for your financial condition and for the planet. The song "I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow" and some seriouse window shopping will cheer you up! Happy shop-stop!

Bare faced

I have had blemished skin for some time now, and just as you one day have to accept that your legs never will be long and hot, I have accepted that this is something I have to live with. I have to some extend tried to conceal it, but I have not covered my face up in foundation. I have applied a bit concealer where needed, and then brushed on som i.d. mineral powder. Every morning and night I have used cleanser, toner and lotion. I have learned to live with it, but some weeks ago my skin went from ok to bad. That I could not accept, so I booked a facial.
Today was the day of the facial, and the lovely facialist peeled and polished and squeezed until I almost cried. Now she sounds horrible, but she was really nice and had the most amazing skin. I will have another hour of horror in about two weeks because the facialist said "Let's put an end to this...", and she gave me a discount! She is just the best!
I have to start using a serum with acid from MD Formulations and say good-bye to my beloved clinique. (Not because clinique is doing the harm, I just need something stronger to kill the acne.)I am looking forward to a future where I don't need to accept blemished skin! prospects not looking good right now, I am red as a tomato...

This is me, bare faced, the day after my facial... I thought it might be funny to have a "before" picture so that I can compare!

Red kisses

Today was last day at school before falls one-week-off! Ida and I celabrated on our favorite cafè... The funny thing is that the reason we love it is because of their free and totally delicious jam. We often just share a scone and then we eat like, 3 cups of jam each... Anyway, the colors are just beautiful right now, really passionate... So why not paint your pout in this seasons color? I used a cliniqe lipliner called bonbon and the darkest estee lauder lipstick I could find, and discovered that the new pout made me quite romantic... This lipstick will certainly leave some marks! kisses Hannah <3
