Decorations around the house

 I'm exhausted! These past few days have consisted of cleaning, cooking & decorating...constantly! + not being able to procrastinate thanx to our internet being broken up until yesterday.  I know I've been making loads of christmassy posts...but I've got to take advantage of the time of year, right?

Tomorrow is Christmas eve! Waking up early, opening stockings, great food, games and presents..s'gonna be fabulous! What kind of traditions do you have?

Hope you'll all have an absolutley fenomenal christmas!

Snooow???

Heeyyy!...heheee.... long time no write, eh?
So, I've been majorly slacking, which maybe you've noticed...I don't really have a super valid explanation, but all in all, I've been really stressed about school and such things and whenever I haven't been working on school, I've pretty much been sleeping. I actually went up to Stockholm last weekend to see a friend, which was a nice change, so I might show you some pics from that :)

Anyway, as I'm waiting for my cousins to arrive for the weekend, I thought I'd grasp the moment and update you. I'm in a really good mood today, thanx to many great things, not even the stress of the christmas shopping that I need to do or the spanish oral exam I have on monday is bringing me down today :)
Here's a little list of the things that make me happy right now:
- It's friday, and I've gotten through a particularly rough week :)
- I have an entire weekend ahead of me!
- I ACED a discussion-exam today in Humanities :D:D The teacher said I was the best in my group (yes, i might be bragging a litttllee, but I honestly always have an incredibly hard time with discussions/debates) 
- My cousins are coming soon :) haven't seen them in quite a long time!
- One of my favourite people in the world is coming home this weekend for christmas! :D
- Sunday, I'm meeting up with some girlfriends, one of which has been of fin england for the past 6 months, so that'll be sooo fun!
- The favourite person mentioned above is coming to stay on tuesday! <3
- Wednesday, I'm having a christmas breakfast with this person + 2 other favourite people!
- CHRISTMASSSSS HOLIDAYYYYSS in like 5 days!
- I'll get my permit for driving reaaal soon! so stoked!

etc etc....So you get it, I'm pleased about quite a lot of things right now! Hope that didn't bore you to death, perhaps it inspires you :) Make your own list about things that please you at the moment :)

On a slightly lesser note, I read something devastating in the newspaper today...something along the lines " Surprisingly mild weather this christmas" which in short terms translates to the probablility of getting snow being very slim! NO SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS?! :( We always get snow here! Can't remember a single christmas that hasn't been white....right now its just raining all the time. So hopefully the weather takes an unexpected turn and gives us some snow, or I'll be pissed (:
Whoever is in charge of the weather up there: You have about 6 days to go!

These are all from november last year...my longing for snow right now is unimaginable.. :(


Anyways, hopefully I'll get better at updating, I have a few ideas for some christmas-y posts :)
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la! haha :D

You know you miiisssed me! ;)

Right now in Humanities

Highlighting is totally my thing!

Cuteness x 3

 So, I showed the couch I posted earlier to my mum since I thought the price was really good for a couch, she thought it was worth having a look at so yesterday afternoon we headed for Ikea and came home again with this little cutie! Its possibly the cutest couch ever :P But its quite good that its small because it fits my room better and I now have somewhere else to sit than just my bed:) Isn't it cute?

 

I also picked up these cute little snowflake lights which I put in a glass vase on my bookshelf, a start to the holiday decorating that I'll elaborate on when were closer to december.

Speaking of cute things..thought I'd throw in a picture of some cupcakes that my friend Sofia and I baked last weekend, they were sooo sweet! :P

Hope you're all having a lovely sunday evening!

Feeling for furniture

Everything from ILVA except for the sofa, which is from IKEA

I really want to redecorate at the moment!
I really want a sofa and the one above from IKEA is like really cheap, gonna drop some hints to my mum so she'll check it out :P The other pieces are just inspiration of furniture that i'd like. I love silver details, especially on lamps!
+ I threw in some Holiday decor with the "Knitted" candle hilder and the little ornaments, I'm super stoked for christmas! exactly 38 days left (yes, I totally have a countdown thingy on my dashboard, thats just me being a dork) Christmas coming up gives me loads of inspiration, a nice change as opposed to what that level has been on for the last couple of weeks :)

Have a wonderful evening guys,
Personally I'm gonna watch some youtube videos then go to bed hoping that I'll wake up and feel better enough to go to school (I have a bit of a rough cold atm.)

Paris part II

St. Sulpice

The weather was absolutley fabulous!

Yummy Italian food!

Cute puppys that I desperatley wanted

The love bridge: cheesy or cute? I'm undecided.

Prettyyy!

Paris at night!

Good gurrls taking the stairs :P

Montmartre

Paris day 1!

Heyy! So I got back from Paris yesterday evening after a quite long day of travelling. I had a great time there and it was sooo much fun to see Vera again! We are so amazingly awesome together! :P
So here next I give you Paris day 1, which really is a compilation of monday and tuesday, since monday was only travelling.

Planes! :D I love Copenhagen airport!

Our terminal had a shortage of benches, which was really strange, so my sister sat on the floor instead...

We decided to rent an appartment instead of staying in a hotel, somewhat more convenient. We  stayed in the Saint Germain des pres area which was super! We had walking distance to pretty much everything! But the place was certainly petite :P nice and clean..but small. Vera and I stayed in the sofa bed all bundled up together haha!

Our building...

We were looking around in Printemps, which is a big luxury departement store, and were completley awed away by the christmas decorations...its only november but i got the hugest surge for christmas! + I look like a 5 year old in that last picture -.-

The streets were remarkably empty on tuesday, apparentley there was some kind of red day or whatever.

Notre dam!

Okay, waaaayy too many pics, but I hope you find them interesting! :D
Day 1 started out pretty slow since the weather was pretty bad but towards the evening it was nice and warm again. :)


Day 2 is coming up soon, its just that it takes ages to upload so many pics!
