Saturday

Today I spent the afternoon with miss Charlie or should a say Lara Croft. I felt like shit the whole time but I had to get out from the house, between the shops I had to stop to breath and dry the sweat of my forehead. If it was a good or bad??? Bad for sure, cant breath now.F***ing bronchitis.

We were looking around a bit but the inspiration was on zero today. I just found myself starring at everything. Then it something wrong.

Went to adore to stock up on my Dermalogica, special cleansing gel and skin hydration boost. Charlie bought a starter kit, good value.60 jo-jos. I bet she will love it.

Kamprad....Chanel

I was reading a blog earlier and the girl had been to Paris and was a bit chocked over how many Chanel bags she saw people caring around .... and I started to wonder what was so chocking about it???

Ok, first we are talking about Paris and second we are talking about Chanel.

I look at it like this... the Parisian must carry Chanel like the swede carry H&M or decorating their home in IKEA.The Parisian have Coco Chanel and the swede have Ingvar Kamprad. When the swede were talking about the sofa Älmhult back in the days, the Parisian were talking about the 2.55.

Their 2.55 bag might have belong to their mother, aunt,grandmother ....the bag was release in february (2) 1955 (55) . Back then it didn't have the CC logo it was introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s. I love when things have a story like the design for 2.55. In the zipper compartment inside the bag on the front flap, Coco kept her love letters hidden because of her affair. Smart design move of her. Her inspiration for the bag come from her time at the orphanage.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. - Coco Chanel

still sick....

and feeling sorry for myself. The rain is pissing down outside but thats good I guess... you don't really want to go outside.In that way Ireland is great when you are sick... the weather keeps you inside, the only time I can say Im happy for the weather.

Going to go back to my horizontal position now to watch a movie and drink tea.

Chicken soup

Mighty Mighty, my muppet and me are dying with the flu. This is the second time I see him sick in over 3 year and he looks like he is going to die .... might be because he is a guy as well. Muppet have been home form work for 3 days now and myself had to leave work this morning because I nearly passed out. So its not much of action here at home more then movie race and tea drinking.

The chicken soup is under making, chicken soup 4 the soul.Let's hope it does its trick.

cai guo-qiang

When not drawing -- and detonating -- pictures made from gunpowder or staging massive outdoor "explosion events" like the fireworks at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Cai Guo-Qiang is busy breaking records. His 14 gunpowder pieces sold at Christie's in Hong Kong in 2007 for $9.5 million, an all-time auction high for contemporary Chinese art. He's the first Chinese artist to snag a Venice Biennale award and the first living artist to have a solo show in a state-operated Chinese museum. The seven white sedans he suspended from the ceiling at the Guggenheim in New York last year left the art world chattering about American car culture

The Jazzzzzzzzzz

This weekend it was the famous jazz weekend in Cork. The town was packed even during the day...with drunken people. So we did an escape to Kinsale for saturday night and it was nice. Had some dinner at the Bulmans who was ok, they have changed owner so the food isnt that great anymore and its a pitty because the resturant itself is really nice. The weekend was relaxing with other words for me.
Meet up with miss N who have found a job...happy happy for her. And last night I meet Isa and said hello to miss slampa.

Got this book in waterstone as well.Its great because you find his stories around the pictures he have taken as well...Like the girl on the cover.He said he always get comments about how prefect an chic she looks. But the fact is that she has a longer leg.....

Fishbone and Bread!

OMG ... I dont know really whats wrong here but for sure I have been unlucky since Friday night. The best thing is just to have a laught about it. Last night I was out with my boss from Sweden and other people from management. We had a lovely time talking and joking . I had a small bite of fish and a flipping bone got stucked throat.

So I had a bread marathon to get the bone to move, but it was stucked.... I had 5 big big slices of bread = around 10 normal slices of toastbread. Of cause no one understood how I could eat that many in a short time and today I got one more slice of the bread from Mr Larks who took the last slice as a memory form the resturant for me. LOL

F*** up weekend!!

Or I had a really strange weekend or Friday I should say. But I’m happy about it. It opened my eyes even more about curtain things in my life I haven’t really seen clear around me over the passed months or so and we all need an eye opener sometime to realize. To be able to act on top of it and make important decisions for yourself in your life. From here it can just become better for me.

I guess we all have these people around us who sucks us out on energy and just completely drains us , the drama queen, the blamer,the sob sister , the fixer-upper (requires endless help form you) ….who else …The talk about me only person … and what do they all have in common more then being negative ??? IT’S ALL ABOUT THEM AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS AS WELL. THEY DON’T GIVE A F*** ABOUT YOU !!!!!! They just drain you over and over again. Also a common theme for them is to find someone else to blame for their own situations then dealing with it and stick their head in the sand and hide and run form everything around them.

Sad, Sad people who will never come anywhere with themselves or their life and end up lonely in the end of the road. You can’t just take and take, suck and suck of people like a vampire. And think that you are going to get something or somewhere by not give anything back yourself to end up were you want to end up.

We all have to go that extra mile to get were we want to head and face up to the responsibilities we have around us……

Later Skater!

J. DAUPHIN

Swedish jewellery designer. I love her mix of gold, silver, leather and metal. A lot of rock n roll in other words.
I read an interview with her in the Swedish Elle and she said all her pieces have their own story from her own life, how she feel at that time,where she were etc .Love the thought of it .

coco me ...pls!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god....I have seen the coco duffel form Alexander Wang around for some time now. I think the first celeb I saw with it was Mary-Kate Olsen who got the bag gifted to her from the designer himself and I really liked it...but now due Im in love with it. Its kind of similar to the DKNY bag i have now with its zips and studs. I might ask my friend J-NYC to get me one when she is in New York.

The 2nd Closet

I have got a second closet over the passed couple of months.jippie juuu.
My boyfriend’s closet. Love to wear his cardigans, tees, jeans and shirts. I love to mix it up with my own clothes and his cardigan gives that perfect lose fit with a pair of thights as an example.

But to today he put up some rules for me what I can take and not …buhh. You can not wear these tops bla bla bla.

So of cause I had to be a retsticka about it like we call it and say. Guess what I’m wearing?? And who knows maybe I’m wearing the sweater that I was not suppose to take to work today because he doesn’t know if I do or not….???!!!

Have a look around in your mans closet and you might be surprised of what you find. Just make sure that he has washed them so it isn’t an old sweater who hasnt seen the washing machine for months …uhhh.

Lucky me I dont have to be worried over that!!

Jaha Jaha....

What to say? I haven’t been on holidays …I kind of lost my inspiration there for a while. But now I feel it coming back here slowly but surely.
The weather is getting colder here in Ireland and it means cravings for knitwear for me and scarf’s ..ohh I love my scarf’s . I bought a huge one during the weekend from H&M …who could also suit me as a cape as well lol. The funny thing is due that this time of the year is the best in regards to the weather here. A lot of clear days with no rain and me likie it a lot.

The scarf on the pictures I wouldn’t mind to won. Its for a Swedish brand called Stylien.

Later!
