Great quake

Both my facebook and twitter accounts are overflowing with everybodys updates on the earthquake in Japan, I'm glad to see that my friends and extended family are alright in Tokyo (I had to leave work and call around to make sure), but still the consequenses are devastating. I remember how scared I was everytime we had a quake when I lived there, taking cover under a table and not knowing what to do, and I only ever experienced smaler ones. I feel for everyone affected, natural disasters have never been a threat as I live in Sweden and watching the news reports on this it's something I'm really thankfull for.

New camera

Finaly! I've wanted a newcamera ever since I lost mine, wich I worked really hard on to deco, on the plane home from Tokyo. I've had one on loan from my father ever since, he won it through a crossword puzzle contest in the newspaper so it wasn't too good. That's one of the reasons I've been sort of bad with picture posts for quite some time now.

I orignialy wanted to buy the same model I had in Japan since I know that model was really good and it isn't too pricy now either since it's almost a year old. However I decided on the newer model, not because it can shoot in HD, but because it comes in a much cuter shade of pink. The front surface is really flat and neat so it would be perfect to do deco on but I think it's really cute as it is so I don't think I'll touch it.

Showtime

It's been a long time since my last post! I guess I've been so absorbed by work latley that the days just went by without me noticing. I was however fortunate enough to have the time over to watch some great films wich I would like to recomend!

As chance would have it, they both tell stories about the life of on stage entertainers.

Some week ago I finaly got to watch l'illusioniste, I've been really exited about it ever since I saw the first trailers for it. It's directed by Sylvain Chomet, who also directed one of my absolute favourite movies, Les triplettes de Belleville.
I will never get tiered of the animation in theese movies, it's so beautifuly detailed, quirky and smooth (fans of the Layton school of animation are sure to enjoy). The illusionist is not all as fun as the tripplet from Belleville was since the mood is quite melancolic but I would say it's just as good and definetley wort a watch.

The next film I had a look at was The Black Swan, there's been a lot of buzz around this movie so I would be suprised if there is anyone out there who haven't seen it yet, but if you by any chance missed it I would recomend you to get to the theatre while it's still playing. I saw it first on my computer and the other day in theatre and I will say it's always worth the extra money to se a film this visualy stunning on the big screen. I had much longer, rant filled, enteries for both of theese movies planned but after thinking about it for a couple of days I just don't feel like nitpicking and whining anymore. I don't want to ruin it! It's been such a long time ago since I saw something new, original and on top of that really, really good so I'll just leave you with my warmest recomendations and hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did.

Going on a hunt, wish me luck

I'm still on the lookout for a pair of heeled loafers, I managed to find theese scattered about the internet but none of them are quite what I want and they are also pretty much sold out.

If I would go for the chunky heeled ones I would definetley have a lot more options but I think the extra bulk ages them and takes them from cute spring shoes perfect for the ridicilousness that is obakawa, into actuall old lady wear. The search for the perfect pair goes on!

Style cravings

I'm getting super tiered of winter weather, I want new cute spring fashion! Tigh high socks and heels instead of tick tights and boots and I want to cut down on all the layers! Everyday I have like four layers on, I feel so bulky and uncomfortable. Theese are currently my most wanted items.

The red bowleer hat. I've seen it around on the blogs all winter but I don't know where it's from! It always looks so fabulous! I always love hats but the best time to use them is in the spring, it's not too hot like in the summer, not windy like autumn and not too cold like winter. I'll be honest, this whole outfit is pretty damn adoreble! It's another really cute hat and I'd actually wear all of it but my favourite point is the shoes, super high-heeled tassle loafers! Where did she get them, I want a pair for myself so bad.

I found similar pairs at Top shop that was cute but they had such a chunky heel, I prefer the ones in the picture, they look more delicate and more fitting for the comming season.

French Café

I really want to love this print a lot more, it's so on point with my latest obsessions! Bright colours (especially blue and red together), biscuits and cutlery. It even has my permanent obsession of tea cups!

However I'm not in love. I looked over both the skirts and the dresses several times but they just feel sort of bland, I wonder if I've become so alergic to cotton lace that it's ruining the dress for me! A while back I decided that I'll only have dresses with frill or tule lace trimmings because I feel better in them, cotton lace is cute but I think it's a really young look and I'm starting to think it doesn't really suit me anymore.
The accessory line migh be more right for me this time I suppose, I wouldn't mind the adoreble jewlery and those socks are to die for!

A bright wednesday

Today, suddenley, I felt as if my spirits had been lifted, maybe it's the sign of me starting to find balance in my life, or maybe it's just because I'm off work tomorrow.
