Fun Fashion- the Blondes
They make collections in a mix of femininity, fantasy sexiness and high fashion in a plyfull way. At the moment their collections are named: "ladies&gentlemen" "forbidden city", "strange fruit", "blond fever", "playboy" and "legends". I Think i found my new favourite designer. ...Maybe not to wear but to look at atleast. This is one of the few shows id be happy to do!

House weekend
After missing some trains back from rugby i finally got back home around 7 and together with my roomates we just spent the night chatting and having wine in our house. Saturday me and the girls went to do some shopping cause one of them was leaving and wanted to get some gifts for her family. After she left me and the remaining girls decided to have a real girlsnight which was really nice. We went to a local bar which is everything else but fancy and we had such a fun night. We had one glass of wine there but danced our asses off to some music noone of us really enjoyed but it was definately a night filled with laughter, deep talks and girly things.
Today its sunday and we didnt really do much. A friend of one of the girls is a chef and he cooked for us so we enjoyed a suberb sunday dinner. Must have been the best food ive had in the last two months... If not more.
So yeah a really nice but quite quiet weekend.
Tomorrow is a new week and im excited to see what this week has to offer. I have some options for some good things, a really good casting tomorrow and then ill also decide with the agency when i can go back home. Im kindof homesick now and i really miss my family and friends. Hopefully i can go home already this weekend. Ill keep you posted, now its time to sleep!

A happy Birthday and YOU were my best gift!
By the end of the day came what made my day the best, My Alex :)
It was not so long time ago since we saw eachother last in Milan. ...About three weeks i think, but ive longed for him since so to see him again completed my day and made it the best day ever. Alex stayed with me here in London for 4 days and we did all kinds of COZY things,YES i want EVERYTHING to be cozy and everything was!

First week in london
The apartment is great. I live in a cute 3floor apartment with 5 other people from an agency called zone which is a partner agency to mine. Two guys and three girls and they are all supernice and we are all the same age.
Wednesday and thursday were my first days of castings and i must admitt i was a bit nervous about getting lost. Its my first time for work in london and the city, not to mention the tube-system is huge! I made it though:) 3 castings eachday and today i was actually free so i went to the park with one of my flatmates. Then we all cooked Food, watched a movie and then played charades in the kitchen. Now its friday night and im gonna jump into bed to watch another movie. Tomorrow ill go for brunch with a girlfriend that i didnt see in a bit. Its supposed to be a holloween brunch so i guess ill get to dress out. If i do ill post pictures tomorrow.
So far London is treating me very good and im enjoying my stay. Now im just crossing my fingers ill start to book some jobs! Have a lovely weekend folks!

The last weekend in Milan
T booked for a job in stockholm sweden so all of a sudden there was my last weekend in Milan for this time. I had a swedish friend visiting me for the weekend and it was truly a great last weekend. We went touristing. We had pizza and italian specialities. We went to the parc to listen to live brasilian music we went to the spa. We had a girlsdinner at home and we went out to enjoy the milan nightlife.... The perfect ending of another great period in Milan. I miss my friends there and i hope to see them all soon again.

Choosing happiness...
Ive been a bit stressed about not really knowing what to do from next friday when my work here on dondup is finished. My agency wants me to go to Miami. My agency here wants me to stay, my agency in capetown wants me to come there and im also considering london and germany where my agencies have been asking me to come. Of course im happy people want me to come and it might seem like a small stupid "problem" in your eyes but to me it is hard not knowing where to go or what to plan with family and loved ones. There are so many people having their opinion and me right now im even to exhausted to be able to figure out what I actually want. One thing i do know for sure is that I want to go home to see my niece Noelle.
Heres a little glance of my past week;
Everyday i wake up at 6.30 and i walk to work which is about 30minutes of walk. I have my espresso, i try on the collection for the clients i eat my mozarella, try on the collection again, i walk home and arrive at home at 20.00 in the night. Yeah, Thats normally fine but since ive been a bit sick and never really had a possibility to rest and get rid of the illness. Wednesday my body said "enough" and i woke up feeling horrible. I stayed home from work and slept through most of the day. When i was awake my mission was to eat all the nutritions possible. I kind of felt that the lack of proper food played its role since i had been to tired to go to the supermarket after work. Thursday morning i felt better and went back to work in the morning. In the afternoon i went for a casting and then quickly home to change to after go back to Dondup for a client presentation in the evening. The event was fun but stole even more time of my sleep, which i was in BIG need of. Friday i was free from dondup but had 4 other apointments from the agency so no rest anyway, my agency had a fashionweek party at Just cavalli cafe in the night but i had no energy to go, definatly not since i knew that the following morning i had to wake up to work at dondup again. I had a quiet friday night at home instead, had a bbq at the balcony and went to bed early. So yeah saturday morning i worked again. Afterwards i went for a long walk, that was the best thing i did in a long while. I got into my comfy clothes washed the makeup of my face put the sunglasses on and just walked around for three hours. I passed the gym and settled an agreement for working out there. A good one :) i got one month for free and normally its 175euro permonth there so i was more than happy. In the night yesterday i went for mexican food back at my street, I had some wine and just sat there chitchatting for 4hours. Yesterday gave me soo much energy, the walk and that talk i had eased everything. This morning i woke up feeling rested and happy, Today its sunday and im again at work but i decided today it doesnt really matter. I feel happy and im choosing to stay this way. Yes its sunday and ive been working nonstop(apart from wednesday when i was home sick) and now ill work another 5 days but it doesnt matter. Im CHOOSING happiness! Coming friday ive done this job for six weeks and im actually looking forward to do other castings here in Milan. I hope ill be able to stay for a while here but i guess i just have to wait and see.
Kisses to all of you and i hope your choosing to have a great sunday, WHATEVER youre doing and wherever you are. Its all up to you whether you make it a good one!

A Helicopter, a castle and my precious creams!
Finally back in paris i went directly to L'Arc where i met up with my swedish friend Linnea who was having dinner there. I happened to arrive perfectly for the desert, hot chocolate cake with icecream. Well ive been everything but healthy on this trip, But ive been very french though... Ive had croissants(which i dont actually even like:P but it was the only thing they served for breakfast in the job) baguette with briecheese, crepes, champagne and fois gras, if thats not considered trying the french cuisine in three days stay i dont know what is. Well i kind of wanted escargots aswell but they didnt have it at the restaurant where i was. Well after the dinner, or for me the desert, we went down to the club for a while. We had such a good evening and we hung out with alot of people i know since before. It was So fun to see them all! The day after me and Linnea went for a walk around l'arc de triumph and champs Elysées. We had a nice smothie lunch at a really cool place called Le Paradis Du Fruit. After lunch we set off to Sephora. I LOVE Sephora at champ Elysées and i finally got to buy the creams im addicted to and which Ive recommended here before. The brand is SAMPAR! Ive been trying to find theese creams everywhere ive been since they finished but since i first was in africa and after on the move all the time i also couldnt get them online. It is possible to buy them online at their website though for you who's curious about my addiction:P I guess me and Linnea were the buyers dream cause they all jumped us and gave us loads of free stuff! We left happy and definately not emptyhanded:)
Friday night my mum arrived in Paris so i went to meet her up at Chaulle De Gaulle where my dad came to pick us both up. The timing was truly perfect, both mum and dad where in Paris at two of the three days that i was there. My dad had a businessmeeting and mum went for a little vacation with dad. We set off to the place that mum booked For us for the night. It was a beutiful Hotell that was right outside of Paris. A castle with spa, gym and everything. It was truly amazing but unfortunately i didnt have enough time to actually enjoy it. The three of us had a lovely dinner together friday night though and then early saturday i was off To the airport. It was a short time i got to spend with my parents but im sooo happy i even got to see them at all! They are the best!
So yeah now im back here in Milan at work. Working 9 to 19 trying on the same clothes everyday. IM so happy i work with great people. Outerwise i guess i could easily go crazy:P
My ipad is still striking when it comes to posting photos to the blogg but ill try to figure out a way so ill post pictures shortly!
Have a great week babes!

Jason Ma feat. Bruno Mars- LOVE. Great Lyrics!!!!
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love this is my love
Love is patient love is kind. It does not envy it does not boast it is not proud. It is not rude it is not self-seeking it is not easily angered it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects always trusts always hopes it always perseveres.
Love never fails. Love is everlasting its eternal it goes on and on it goes beyond time love is the only thing that will last when you die but ask the question why? Do you have love?
There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends. Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends? You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother your father or your best friends but are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you? I'm going to tell you who did that the definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love. The nails in his hands the thorns in his brow hanging on a cross for your sin my sins that is LOVE he died for you and me while we still hated him that is love. God is true love and if you don't know this love now is the time to know perfect love.

The holidays are over and im back in milan!
As i said before i was supposed to go to London for work during this time that i had off from milan and Dondup but because of the riots that was there i decided to skip that and just spend that time with friends and family instead. London just have to wait, and atleast im lucky to have an agency there who understood my decision and let me come there later on instead.
Im really happy that i had all this time with friends and family, yet a little bit "sad" that my brother and his lovely girlfriend couldnt give birth to their baby as planned when i was home. Haha. Egoistic? Just a little bit :P
Now im gonna be here in Milan for a month atleast since im booked for this client til the last of september so i will most likely miss out on the newborns first weeks on earth:( well i know that theyll be nice enough to give me updates. Im just wondering when this little life is planning to come out to hang with us since it was planned to come last week already. Everyday im hoping for that phonecall.im socurious if its a boy or a girl. I havethe feeling its a boy but to be honest its not as strong as other times when i have senses about something so ill leave that unsaid. :P
Well now im back at dondup since three days. Back to business and i started my diet. Im Planning to lose all the lovely weight that ive put on during this vacation, its kindof hard though since they are serving me pasta each and every day here. Well im trying to stay away:S
Monday arrived a friend of mine that i first met in paris and since she arrived weve been hanging out all my free minutes. Shes from sweden and its a long time ago since we saw eachother last. Maybe 10months...
Anyway as soon as i finished monday and tuesday we met up and had nice aperitivos by the river and yesterday we went with another swedish girl i know for dinner. Its really nice and realaxing to hang with swedish speaking people since i only use italian at work, so hanging with them is not only cozy and fun but also a chance to give my brain a bit of a break.
As soon as i finish work today ill meet up with her again for a coffe or something. Kind of wishing that time was now:P but sooon. Maybe one or two more hours.
Well okay enough for this time,anyway im back- nice to see you again and i hope you had a great holiday:)

Last one standing in Milan and future plans... No rest
I left sweden Sunday after the wedding and since then ive been sleeping poorely. Many different reasons of my lack of sleep, one of them is my roomates All have been leaving one by one and we stayed up late talking and getting the most out of the last time together. Im so happy for getting to know these girls. I had a great time and im sure i made some friends for life.
Linda, who is one of the swedish girls i was living with, left today and she was the last one to go so now im ALL ALONE :S That apartment is way to big to stay in all alone but its only for five days then i go back to Sweden. Most people left Milan already for holiday so i guess this is going to be a VERY quiet week for me. Which is good. Its gonna leave me alot of time to read, write and reflect... And last but not least Sleep.
My schedule for the coming weeks is to work here until friday then on sunday Ill go home to do my passport on the following Monday. I need to get the passport as soon as possible since they already are waiting for it in Miami where my agency are doing me the working VISA. My plan is to go to Miami already in octobre.
Then tuesday or wednesday next week ill most likely go to London for work. Then on the 25th ill go back home to Sweden again, ill get my passport hopefully have some quality time with my loved ones and then on the 27th I go back to Milan in order to be back for work on the 29th. Well yeah its not really as i planned my "Holiday" but life changes and then you just have to adapt. Invitations to Ibiza and St Tropez will have to be left untouched, right now id rather work as good as i can in order to make more money for a nice holiday later on.
Im definately not complaining, im happy there are things going on. The only reason i would be a bit sad is 'cause ill miss out on being home when my brother and Beckis are getting their baby and of course im sad for not being able to hang out with friends and family more but I know that they will understand and be happy as long as Im happy, cause thats how good my family and friends are... Awww I miss them.
Well now you have an update on whats to come for me, just incase i might disappear again:P
Now would be the perfect opportunity to blog since i have so much time by my self but my internet as i said broke down in the apartment, my booker is trying to get it fixed at this very moment but if not possible atleast i have internet here at work. Cross your fingers for me that he" ll be able to fix it. The nights will feel so lonely otherwise. With internet i can always kill a couple of hours:P
Have a great day and pay atention to all the beatiful things going on around you, everywhere ALL the time. Thats what i do today, with a smile on my face and Tracy Chapman in my ears.
Enjoy! <3

Quotations of a great movie. Peaceful warrior- watch it!!!!
1. There are no ordinary moments.
2. This moment is the only thing that matters.
3. Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness…if you had little time left to live…you would waste precious little of it. Well, I'm telling you…you do have a terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason…or you will never be at all.
4. The first realization of a warrior is not knowing.
5. Every action has it's pleasure and it's price.
6. You haven't yet opened your heart fully, to life, to each moment. The peaceful warrior's way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability…to the world, to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along I've shown you by example that a warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.
7. Find the love in what you do.
8. Everything has a purpose. It's up to you to find it.
9. If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.
10. Some people live their whole lives without ever waking up.
11. Knowledge is not the same as wisdom.
12. Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation…is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.
13. I call myself a Peaceful Warrior…because the real battles we fight are on the inside.
14. Find your answers from inside.
15. Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is…the only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.
16. Those who are hardest to love are the ones who need it most.
17. Throw out everything that is keeping you from this moment.
18. Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now. What are you? This moment.
19. There is never nothing going on.
20. Three principles of reality: Paradox, Humor, and Change.
21. There is only the journey.
Sometimes we just have to stop and reflect, is this what life is?
Is this the way i would want to live it or did i just get comfortable living this way?
Am i as happy as i could be?
Will I wake up one day when im closer to 70 thinking " I have No regrets?
No matter if it comes to work, love or the way of living is it really that hard to make a change and is it really good to make that change or are you just in that state of mind where you think that the grass is greener on the other side?
If you actually decide to make that change will the other cliché "You never miss the water until it's gone" kick in?
Some people choose to stay with the comfort all life, no gambling, no risks and they actually stay content like that. Some people never leave that supermarket where they started working when they were 15, some people never leave the guy they felt head over heels in love with when they went to school even if everything between them changed. They choose to stay at their old job which they are actually overqualified for and even if they are longing for that challenge to do something else they choose to stay with the comfort of knowing that paycheck comes in every month, they choose to stay cause they already know theese people at work and " Its actually not That bad".
When it comes to love alot of people stay in a relationship which is not the same as it used to be, im not saying it always will be the same, i know it wont, but sometimes you see couples where the love is long gone but they still stay together, desperately Hoping that the love they once had will return. Maybe thinking he/she will be a good parent and " I love his family, I couldnt leave them" or the classic he is such a good guy- i wonder if I will ever find anyone as "good" as him. I admire people that do believe in that love and maybe they are more happy in the end... but I don't know...
I just know that I am a dreamer and I know I wouldnt be as happy as i could be,living like that, wondering.
My major goal in life is happiness.
I do believe everything happens for a reason and I believe that life is happening right here, right now.
I could not stay in a relationship or at a job if i was longing for something else or something more or even if i was just wondering whether its right or wrong. I believe you have to step away in order to see it clearly. Maybe that relationship or job is as good as it would ever be but how would you realize that and appreciate it if you never get to find out?
Could you be truly happy wondering if you missed out on something?
There is a big risk that you have no turning back if you actually decide to step away, but was it ever truly yours if you cant turn back? When it comes to love I believe that if its meant to be then it will be and...Time WILL tell.
I am a dreamer and I hope I will never stop dreaming. Im gonna go out and live every day as if it was my last one, without being unreasonable. I know that in the end no matter what conclusion I will come to I would never have been happy walking around wondering...
It is scary leaving something behind and thats probably why loads of people never do. F
or me its more scary living the entire Life wondering...
We have only one life so always Prioritize your own happiness!
I believe that in order To be able to rise you have to first fall...
Im free Falling....
What you win or lose, you can't have everything
Don't you take chances, you might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain 'cause love won't set you free
I could stand by the side and watch this life pass me by
Safe as could be
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground?
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
'Cause I'm just trying to be happy,
Just wanna be happy,
Holding on tightly, just can't let it go
Just trying to play my role, slowly disappear,
But all these days, they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names, get me out of here
But I can't stand by your side,
And watch this life pass me by,
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground?
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, "
-Leona Lewis. Happy
