Pink purchases.

Let me introduce two of my hot pink purchases from this week. The first one is a nailpolish which I bought at Åhlens. It was a bargain price since it only cost 25 kr! I love the colour since it is suitable for this spring's fashion trends. Get ready for the glistening fabrics - and the late nights, it's Disco time.

The second product comes from my favourite barbershop Toni&Guy at Götgatan in Stockholm. It is a hairspray called "Headrush" from Bed Head (Tigi) which gives you a "Shine Adrenaline with a Superfine Mist" :) with a scent of sweet candy.. Oh it's definitely a favourite among my other beauty products.Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Christina Aguilera - Candyman

I've been a big fan of Christina Aguilera for a long time but I have to say that I love the "new" Christina now more than ever!

Beauty-sleep.

It has been a long day and I think it is time for my beauty-sleep :) I have a long day in front of me, with a fitness test and a few other activities to carry out throughout the day. Anyway, I will end this weeks posting with my "end of the week quote". Take care! May you all have a good night and sleep tight! :) Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Challenge.

While I was reading different blogs I saw rar's post about a new challenge that she had found on Mill's blog. Just like rar wrote, it was a funny challenge therefore I decided to join it too.

Hmm.. Who am I? (when it comes to my exterior?) I believe it is hard to answer that question and therefore I do not have any answer to it. Although I must say, I love to combine expensive clothes with cheaper clothes and different colours etc. It is the smaller details that makes the outfit more appriciated, for example buttons in different colours, zippers etc. The feeling of wearing a "mini" dress, a leather jacket, high heels and simple a accessories is probably the best feeling for the best outfit. My three best purchases respective worst purchases..

3 best purchases:

My leather jacket - My father bought it to me when I turned 19 earlier this year. From the beginning I was going to buy a black leather jacket from the store Carlings. Although when my father and I visited the store he found this gorgeous brown leather jacket, which also was on sale! It was definetely worth the money since this jacket was much warmer than the black one. I will use it as much as possible, why? well the feeling can not be described, I'm in love with it!

My Gardenia-look-a-likes - From the very first moment I saw these beautiful shoes I knew that I wanted them so much. Every time I went to town I had to go inside the shop to try them on and yes, they were perfect for my small feet. They had become my new darlings. After a few weeks I found them on sale! 30 % cheaper so I had to buy them. I can wear them to any outfit I want and the most important fact: I become 171 cm when I wear them! :)

My Viktor&Rolf rasberry-red skirt - I remember the hysterical day when H&M opened their stores with the new Viktor& Rolf collection. Women all over Stockholm were fighting inside the stores in order to get the famous clothes. I was one of the lucky girls that could walk out from the store with one of the gorgeous skirts that everyone had been talking about. I wore it during christmas and two other special occasions and I will definitely wear it more for the spring/summer of 2007!

3 worst purchases:

A pair of jeans from Levi's - I don't remember when I bought them, but it was more than 3 years ago at a sale in town. I needed jeans and I was not in the right mood in order to go shoping, so I bought these jeans and when I came home to see how they looked on me I did not like them at all. I've worn them maybe 2-3 times and I should probably try to sell them or something..

All the unnecessary bracelets - When it comes to accessories I would say that I belong to the crowd of people who has too many items in my property. All these bracelets I've bought at different occasions has lead to the fact that I've only used them once or twice. The number of items are many, although they have been cheap purchases. But if one sums it all together, gosh so much money? I can't stop thinking about the other things I could have bought for that money..

Too many expensive perfumes - Yes, it might sound wierd but it is true. I have too many expensive perfumes at home which I have used perhaps once or twice. I've liked them when I've been at the store but afterwards when I should have used it at home I've suddenly disliked them.. I would like to exchange them for another perfume which I like for sure, I do have a few favourites believe it or not ;) Anyway, I've learned from my mistake and not to buy expensive perfumes if I am not 100 % certain that I will continue using them later.

Hot hairstyle!

Picture from Bottega Veneta (2007)

I believe I have found my new hairstyle for the year of 2007! It seems as if the "Heidi Klum - bang" is back, with long and straight hair to it. (ELLE) Although I must admit that I can not have that kind of everyday hairstyle. I prefer the trend from 2006 that seems to continue for 2007, namely the braids á la Ashley Olsen.

I have seen the same kind of hairstyle on several pictures from different fashion events and I must say that I'm loving it! The question is, how do you do a braid like that? I have long hair so there shouldn't be a problem although I find it hard to do an extreme hairstyle like that on myself.. Tips anyone? ♥ /Sofia

Where will I be 15 years from now?

I admire those who already know what they want to do after graduating high school (in Sweden: gymnasium) There are people who have planned to become doctors, lawyers and teachers etc. Meanwhile I'm still standing here, thinking, am I really taking the right path towards my future?

In today's modern societies one can do almost everything! There are so many different universities with a number of courses and educations all around the world. I wish I knew where I would be 15 years from now.. A fashion designer? A journalist? A lawyer? An Art Director? Well ever since I was a little girl I've had the dream of becoming a children's doctor. It used to be my main goal, although I must admit that my goals today seem to have changed.. just a little..

Anyway, there are many questions and it is hard to get the answers. Where should I start looking? It's been a long day and I think I need to get some sleep. I'll have to figure something out, pronto! We'll see how it goes, wish my luck :) Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Terrific Thursday.

Finally! Today is the "last" day of the week, my school has the day off tomorrow so NO classes :) Therefore today feels like as if it was friday? Anyway, it feels great.

I also finished my tok essay! (theory of knowledge = similar to philosophy) with a word count of 1600 words! (maximum amount of the words) So I'll be off soon to school to hand it in and then I'll probably pass Hötorget to meet up with some friends and I'll have a nice "mini" friday ;) Anyway take care dear readers! ♥ /Sofia

You lighten up my darkness.

Did I mention that I love happy photos?

♥ /Sofia

Time to face the fact, this is love.

I wish I knew where to start.. This is my way of opening up my heart.

I have been watching you from a distance for so long, perhaps these words will become a song?

The way you smile and the way your eyes lightens up the room, it makes me speechless.

Guys like you are so hard to find. To be honest I would say that most girls are blind.

I have learned to see beyond eyes and finally, I have realized that it is within ourselves we will find the hidden treasure.

A personality with a heart of pure gold. You are one of these guys and this is my confession: I am completely sold.

Now, I wish I knew how this ends..

Although I have the sad feeling that nothing will change and that all I'll ever be in your eyes is just another "female" friend, among your other friends..

Never take love for granted.

I would like to end this wonderful and amazing week by publishing a beautiful "end of the week quote". Read the words. Read it twice. Be sure that you understand the meaning of it. Those words says everything I would like to say right now. Remember, never take love for granted. Take care! May you all have a good night and sleep tight! :) Take care! ♥ /Sofia

My past was yesterday. My future is tomorrow.

I find it hard to believe that I have found my inner strength again. For so long I have been searching for the truth and nothing but the real truth. I have been blessed with so many things in my life. My family for example, which I truly love with every part of my heart. My beloved friends, which I know I can count on no matter what, they will always be there for me.

It has been a long week but I don't think I've never experienced so many "emotional/powerful" moments like I've done during this week.

All this time, he's been with me. Protecting me and most important of all loved me. I am thankful for the guidance I've received from the missionaries and from the T family which have done more than I could ever expected from them.

I have found my inner strength again. I have found the belief within myself and to express the love and the gratitude I feel for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I have finally found the answers I've been searching for. Therefor I am happy to say that my past was yesterday and my future is tomorrow and that it lies in the hands of our beloved father in heaven. ♥ /Sofia

New outfit.

Good morning! I don't know why but I woke up with the biggest smile! I guess it's because I finally got a few more hours of sleep than usual.. Anyway as you can hear I had a really good nights sleep :) and now I am full of energy!

Yesterday I actually found my cable to my digitalcamera! (the one you need to connect it to the computer..) I've been looking for it for ages! Silly as I am I always leave things at different places and afterwards when I need it I don't remember where I put it? Strange. I have to work on that..

Anyway I've had so many pictures on the camera and I thought of publishing one of my newest outfits which I had the other day..

♥ Blue dress, H&M

♥ Cardigan, Tessie

♥ Scarf, H&M

♥ White knited stretch tights, H&M

♥ Blue watch, Swatch

♥ Earrings, Chanel

♥ Shoes, Gardenia-look-a-likes from Nilson

♥ Black coat, Oasis

Lovely day.

It feels really wierd because I woke up this morning with the worst headache ever and I felt that I would not be able to step out from the warm and cosy bed I was sleeping in and go to that doctor's appoitment I was supposed to go to during the day. But somehow I did succeed.

Anyway, I sat at the hospital waiting for almost 35 min before the doctor let me in to her office. It was not until 1 1/2 hours later I finally could leave and go to town. I saw all the beautiful clothes that has now come up in the stores! Lovely I must say. All the fresh colours which indicates that our terrible weather soon will turn into sunshine when spring finally will arrive. I can not wait.

As I walked in and out from different stores (just window-shoping) I finally went in to H&M store and I could not believe my eyes. I had found my dream dress that I had been looking forward to but which is now impossible to find because the stores has sold every single one of them. I just thought that this must be my lucky day! So I bought it and when I came home my mother surprised me with another beautiful gift which I also had been longing for so long! Namely the KJL red strawberry necklace! (Not white as in the link) Talking about a really good day.. To be honest I got more to tell! But I am really tired now and I have to get up early tomorrow, last test! Yay! Anyway so I will wright more tomorrow and also publish some pictures of my beloved new darlings! May you all have a good night and sleep tight! :) Take care! ♥ /Sofia

You made my day.

I can't believe it. There are no words to describe the feeling I'm having right now. I don't know if I can call it a miracle, because it probably isn't but anyway.

What happened is that I recently was given a sign that the Holy Ghost had heard my prayer which I held earlier tonight. For so long time I have asked myself whether if it was true? And I believe I got my answer tonight.

I can feel it inside my heart. The joy and the happiness, like I said, I'm speechless. Finally I know where I belong. Thank you, you made my day. ♥ /Sofia

New York Fashion week!

Pictures: Stureplan

I only have one thing to say. I WISH I could have been in NY right now, sitting on the front row observing the designer's gorgeous collections for this spring of 2007 and for the fall of 2007. Well perhaps next year? Since I will probably be in the US.. We'll see what happens but let's just hope for the best.

I saw Elin Kling's article and what she had written about these fantastic clothes. I must say, that I agree with her concerning the first picture, taken from an ordinary chic New Yorker outdoors on the busy streets of the big city. I love the colour, black! I would not say no to receive that outfit.. That's for sure. The second picture is also taken from the fashion week and is one of the designer, Yigal Azrouël's creations for the new collection of spring 2007. Down-to-earth colours, which I love, and they are also easy to wear with hot accessories! And the last picture tells me only one thing. There are times when I really mean that I am proud to be Swedish. Caroline Winberg is the answer. The famous model who now has contracts with many designers and she has created a long list of great jobs that she has done so far in her yetset career. Gorgeous outfit Caroline.

Anyway, I believe this is all for today. I really enjoyed my little "me" time in the bathroom. It was lovely. So I guess it is time for my "beauty sleep" ;) I hope you will have a good night, Take care! ♥ /Sofia

It's "me" time.

To be honest, I have been so bad when it comes to taking care of myself. I have forced my head and my body to stay up late and there has been a few times when the nights have become sleepless nights.. This is not good for my health nor my face and body.

Anyway, unfortunately I did not have a good start of the week. I did really bad at the exams and I will probably be forced to take care of it later, but not now. Because I decided not ruin my entire week just because of one bad day.

No I believe it is time for a little "me" time. Which basically means that I should take care of myself a little bit extra tonight. I have already planned to take a long, hot shower, do a little face and body scrub etc and hopefully I will come to school with a "new me" :) So I guess I'm off now, I have been longing for that shower the entire evening! I'll try to write some lines later. So long, Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Dedicated for someone special.

The most beautiful movie that has ever been made, "The Notebook" if you haven't seen it, then I strongly suggest that you should see it!

I found this beautiful song, a true love song which can be linked to the romantic movie. The song is called "My Destiny" and is performed by Christina Aguilera.

My Destiny

What if I never knew? What if I never found you? I'd never had this feeling in my heart.
How did this come to be? I don't know how you found me. But from the moment I saw you. Deep inside my heart I knew.

Baby, you're my destiny. You and I were meant to be. With all my heart and soul, I give my love to have and hold. And as far as I can see. You were always meant to be. My destiny.

I wanted someone like you. Someone that I could hold on to and give my love until the end of time.
But forever was just a word. Something I'd only heard about. But now you're always there for me, when you say forever I'll believe.

Baby, you're my destiny. You and I were meant to be. With all my heart and soul, I give my love to have and hold. And as far as I can see. You were always meant to be. My destiny.

Maybe all we need, is just a little faith. Cause baby, i believe that love will find a way.
Oh baby, you're my destiny. You and I were meant to be. I give my love to have and hold. And as far as I can see. You were always meant to be. My destiny.

World Premiere for Justin Timberlake's new video, "What goes around, comes around"

Distracted.

I can't believe it. When I had eaten dinner I went downstairs to check the mail (since I saw some interesting magazines lying on the table!)

And guess what? I saw that I had received the new Cosmo! It really caught my attention with its bright pink colour, looking kind of "girly" actually.. :/ It was a little bit too much.. Although the inside information was good, as always! Anyway I'll try to do some Biology now and read even more in my Cosmo later before going to bed.

I'll end this post with my "quote of the week".

Stress.

I can't believe it. Another weekend is gone. I ask myself the question, what did I do? Did I study enough? The answer to the last question is no. Although, I did have a nice weekend..

I had fun watching a movie over at Kammakargatan together with some friends from Jesu Kristi Kyrka during Friday evening. On Saturday I studied almost the whole day.. And today I spent a few hours in the church (Gubbängen) where people held beautiful speeches and is certainly gave me inspiration and when I went home I felt how my heart had been filled with joy. When I came home I went for a long winterwalk with my family since the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful but still, it was too cold :/ Have I already said it? I miss summer..

Anyway, there's a new week coming up. The last week of the so called "Mock exams" .. finally! Starting tomorrow with 3 tests, 2 in Biology and 1 in Swedish. Yay! *not..* So perhaps I should contiune reading.. Anyway, if I have time I'll write more later. Otherwise you'll be hearing more from me tomorrow. Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Rise and Shine.

Finally, the weekend is here. The first week is finally over so now I only got one more week than I will be done with these horrible exams. (Considering that I have been having at least 2 tests every day now during this week and how will I start next Monday? Well with 3 tests instead! Sounds great doesn't it? *not*)

Anyway, todays it's Saturday, unfortunately I have to study a little but I will take a few hours to do something else. I need it, I can feel it. Still I can feel that it is a good day today. I'm going to clean my room and charge my iPod now and then go for a long walk to get some fresh air. I'll probably write more later. I can tell that during these couple of days I have been looking at some many new clothes on the internet from the different designer's spring collections!

It's February now, only three months left. May 2007 will be a good month. My graduation. Looking forward to it!

Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Jessica Simpson for ELLE.

Pictures: CelebWorld

While I was looking at some gorgeous pictures of our celebrities in the US, wearing minishorts and having that gorgeous summer tan that we Swedes only can dream about I saw these two pictures of Jessica Simpson. I frankly don't care whether people think she is stupid or not. I honestly think that she is a beautiful woman and to be honest she inspires me. Not only by the beauty she radiates but also for being an independent woman. This is shown in one of her newest songs "I belong to me" which gave me strenght when I had a difficult time in my life.

Just like other celebrities such as; Beyoncé, Mary J Blidge, Missy Elliott who all of them writes and sings strong and powerful lyrics which inspires millions of women around the world. Therefore I have to say that Jessica Ann Simpson has inspired me, because "I do belong to me".

- Btw, I forgot to mention.. Don't you just loove the hot silver jacket she is wearing?! Do you agree?

Have a nice day! ♥ /Sofia

Baby it's cold outside.

Summer anyone..? I can't stand this horrible winter anymore. I woke up this morning and stared out the window, while I saw our white lawn I slowly realized that, yepp it was nothing more than a sweet summer dream I had left in my dreams. I wish I could have stayed for just a liittle bit longer..

Valentine's day.

When I glimpsed through my calendar I realized that Valentine's day is next week! (1 week from now to be precise..) To be honest it feels as if people has misunderstood the concept of being in love. It is the most incredible feeling one could ever experience, atleast if you would ask for my personal opinion. Today we tend to forget one another and also take "your beloved one"/your relationship for granted. You are supposed show your love for your boyfriend/girlfriend daily because it is the small things that makes you appriciate one another.

Anyway, due to the fact that I'm single at this time of the year, I will probably spend this day on my own together with either the "Sex and the City" box or perhaps the beautiful film "The Notebook" (since I am a hopeless romantic person..) and eat the dessert, which actually is my own recipe! Including lovely strawberries and blueberry.. It is delicious!

Anyway it is getting late now so I think it is bedtime.. To all of you who are in a relationship; take care of one another and remember do not take each other for granted. To all of you who are not in a relationship: Take care of yourself! We often underestimate ourselves and forget the real value of ourselves. I believe that all of us have a soulmate out there. For some people it takes a little bit longer to find them, don't worry you're probably next!

There is a Swedish saying; "Den som väntar på något gott väntar aldrig för länge" Which basically means that the person who waits for something good can never wait too long. Sorry for the bad translation but I hope you got my "message".

Sweet dreams! ♥ /Sofia

Ally McBeal.

As I sat down to eat dinner I turned on the TV and I saw that Ally McBeal was on. There is something about the show that always make me happy, somehow I recognize myself with her and the crazy life she lives in NY.

It has been a long week and finally it is Wednesday! Meaning, only TWO more days until a new weekend arrives outside our doors. The sad news is that I really need to study the whole weekend.. The upcoming week will be a living nightmare with all the exams in the worst subjects.. Scary thought.

Anyway, I guess it is time for me to continue with the history books.. I'll write more later! Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Beloved Shoes.

I've been really lazy when it comes to publishing the new purchases I've done recently.

Anyway this is a picture I've borrowed from Engla of her gorgeous black Gardenia shoes in leather.

I've been longing for these shoes for too long and every time I went into town I almost bought them several times but the price: 899:- sek :/ That was too expensive and several of my friends told me to wait, so I did.

I thought that if there were any shoes left they'd proabably put them on sale and the price would decrease.

And guess what?! It did! I bought them with 30 % discount and it was worth waiting for them.

I will take a picture of them tonight and hopefully you'll be able to see them on my blog quite soon.. Take care! ♥ /Sofia

Next stop: Any country with a tropical touch!

I know, I already mentioned it before, in fact it was only a few days ago. But I can't help it, I would not say no to a beautiful trip somewhere to "any country with a tropical touch!" which means lots of sun and endless long white beaches..

Anyway let's see it from this perspective, I've only got three more months to go! Then I'm out of here! Yay!

A New Miracle.

Congratulations!

Yesterday when I went online to check out my absolute favourite blog, namely Engla's Showroom I saw her latest post. It was a beautiful picture of this astonishing women with her hands on her belly. What should have been "The outfit of the day" became the biggest smile she's ever published on her blog, why? Because she shared the great news to all of us who daily read her blog that she is pregnant! Like Engla herself expressed it; "it's a miracle" and I agree. I may be only 19 years old but I still think that having a child is one of the most beautiful gifts one can ever receive in our lives.

Anyway I just wanted to share my joy with you Engla and all of us out here in the "blog-world" who supports you when you are taking a new step in to a new world, to become a wonderful mother. I wish you the best of luck! ♥ /Sofia

New Inspiration Source!

I think I found my inspiration source! "Understated glamour ... La Coluccia, on the Costa Smeralda of Sardinia." Look at the picture! I wish I was there now.. This is why I am working so hard, this is were you may contact me after the 18th of May 2007 - the last day when I have my last exam!! Yay!

Thank God it's Friday.

I could never expect that this week would be such an emotional roller coaster for me. Apart from the important things which has been going on in my family I feel as if the school "life" and my private "life" at home are tearing up my heart.

I feel exhausted, I do not sleep, I can not think, I don't know what to do anymore. All I know for sure is the heavy load of things I have to do while I'm in school and as soon as I come home for the next day at school. IB is literally "killing" me..

I just want this to end. Because I miss my old life, my lazy days in front of the computer doing absolutely nothing etc. I'm lacking positive energy right now, because all I want right now is to go to sleep... (I sat all night with this History Essay I have to hand in today, besides that I have one "Theory of Knowledge" Essay to finish (it is similar to philosophy..) and 3 more Biology labreports to finish.

Yepp, my life is absolutely fantastic right now. I hope you're having a better time than I am. Anyway, back to work.. Take care! ♥ /Sofia
