Alexander McQueen’s Spring Summer 2010 Womenswear collection in Paris.

This collection is a bit disturbing, but I kinda love it at the same time. The hair, the creatures shoes, the reptile print garment and the music is part of his futuristic collection that is inspired of Darwin’s Evolution theory. What I like for sure is his catwalks, and it would be amazing to get to design his future catwalks :)

And I love this bag! See more photos of the bag – here

I woke up today with three business cards and two Polaroid photos in my pocket. Big hangover subsequent to an art exhibition vernissage yesterday night. But definitely worth it.

My friend and Photographer Kristoffer Myhre had his first exhibition with about 10 other artists, at C73 in Camden. Some great photography, illustration and paintings there, so go and have a look, and hurry because it’s ending this Saturday with a jumble shop !

Kris and his work

Kris has been contributing to Who’s Jack Magazine. And did the cover page of the last two issues.

I can’t sleep and instead I’m surfing the internet as usual.

MyLifeIsAverage makes me smile.

My Life is Average selection

On the ‘About’ MLIA, they say:

‘Is your life awesome? If it is, go away. We don’t want you here. Check out MyLifeIsG. Lucky jerk. I hope you step on a painful rock while walking barefoot. But not too painful of a rock.’

Haha! I checked out that website too, and I prefer MLIA so much more!

Xmas spirit & Anish Kapoor

Oh what a lovely day this has been. I purely love London.
The sun was out this morning, started the day with Pilates and went to centre and bought some paper and Christmas cards at Paperchase. From there I walked to Royal Academy of Arts and went to the Anish Kapoor exhibition. Seriously, it was sooo amazing! One of the best exhibitions I have been to. I lovelovelove going to exhibitions alone and just take my time and spend aaages. Gosh, it gives ♥ to my heart and soul.

I then went to Old Bond Street, and it started snowing! Obviously it wasn’t real snow, but snow machines on top of buildings, but for a second I thought it actually snowed (or maybe it was wishful thinking). The street was packed with people, Christmas choir, ‘snow’, longlegged Christmas fairies and beautiful windows display and goodies (models on display… in underwear, mmm… and of course the very nice clothing collections too – haha). I did some Christmas shopping for my sister :) and made my way home. Now its time for a nice fish-dinner and I already got my wineglass in my hand!
I love love love London! And I can’t wait for Christmas! I love this feeling! And I got nice curls in my hair :)

No kissing? What a joke!

goodbye kisses

How ridiculous is this? At Warrington Bank Quay train station in Cheshire, England, no kissing is allowed! A spokesman for operators Virgin Rail says: ‘The goal is to stop departing passengers from pulling up in their cars at a crowded drop-off point and pausing to kiss each other farewell.’

‘If passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, they should pay to park their cars nearby where they can kiss all they want.’ Crazy!

I’m banning Warrington from this day on! I want to kiss when and where I want! Actually, maybe I should bring someone and heavily make out at the station. I encourage everyone to smooch wherever they want, especially in Warrington Station!

PS: And who designed that ‘no kissing’ sign? Freakin’ ugly!

How cool is this?

LEGO has an Architecture line and was officially lauched in 2008, and their two new masterpieces are Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum and ‘Fallingwater’.

Why didn’t they have this when I was a kid?

I will put this on my wishlist for Christmas, it is still a child within me :) I can’t wait to see what next is coming!

Stickers

I ♥ stickers! I got a sticker collection. Stickers make me happy, and I love looking in my little sticker book. They are not only just for show – I use them too! I like things to be diverse. Not only pretty, but useful too. I put them on things I like. In my diary and planner. And today I put stickers on my earlobes (not that I like my earlobes). Do you remember we had them when we were younger, before we had our ears pierced? Hearts and stars, in different colours! I’m wearing red ♥s. And it makes me happy! And yes, I know I’m close to 30… Shhhhh :P

I haven’t been in love for years, and the plan was not to fall in love anytime soon. Just be single and enjoy myself, get to know myself better, have some fun, don’t think about anyone except myself (and of course friends & family, as I always do). So there I am with my hard shell on and thinking, or actually not thinking, that this amazing man is gonna enter my life.

So this is the story, the love story that isn’t a love story:

It was a Monday night, my friend asked me to come and meet her for a drink with her friends. I wasn’t really in the mood to leave the house, but I thought I would make an effort and have one drink because she don’t live in London . So I put something on, not caring too much of my looks (which I regret now, lol) and went to meet her in Hoxton. She was only with one guy, and he was really cute and during the night I understood that he was reallyreallyreally nice and interesting too! And to be honest, we just clicked and you know when u just really like someone for the first moment and connect with them, it’s the best feeling.

So after two glasses of red wine, three more people joining, lovely conversation about everything it, was time to make the last tube home. I wanted for the night to never end.. the night felt like a second, because I had such a good time. ALL the way home on the tube I had the biggest smile on my face (I actually felt quite silly). At the tube there was an ad for eharmony (that online dating site, lol) with the words: ‘Don’t miss your connections’ and I thought to myself; Exactly! All the way home from the tube station (it’s about a 10-15 min walk) I smiled and jogged (partly because I had to pee, but also because I was so happy) and the journey didn’t bother me at all (usually I HATE taking the tube and also the walk back home). But there is a catch! It is always a catch isn’t it?

The next day he was off to Tokyo.. not only for a short holiday, no nooo, for 2 years! Why does all the good guys go to Tokyo? lol… Next day I texted him (he gave me his number because he had some time before his flight, but I thought he was just being  polite), and we agreed to meet at Tate Modern for a few hours. I was soo nervous and late (hate being late), but he was as well, thank God. We had a ♥ly time there, we went around and he was so witty, smart, nice and so so so cute! We had a coffee at the resturant (well he had a smoothie, he don’t drink coffee :( ) and we decided that I was gonna follow him to Paddington Station, so went to his hotel and picked up his luggage and off to Paddington and then he left… With a kiss on the cheek and he was gone. I was so happy but at the same time soo frustrated! It was lovely, and I was literally in heaven. I wasn’t sure if it was a date or not, but I think maybe it might have been :)

So after a month obsessing with this guy (poor my friends has to listen to me taking and dreaming about this guy ALL the time) and chatting with him, I got confirmed that he liked me too! I was in shock. I hoooonestly thought this was all in my head and that I was crazy and unreasonable. But obviously he is too, and I like it alot! :) I was so happy, or I mean I still am! I’m totally into this guy and really want to jump on the next flight to Tokyo, haha! (Don’t worry I won’t)

It is good and it sucks at the same time!  I so wish I met him before. It’s so unfair!

I have a huge huge huge crush! For sure! ♥
