BOOKS & GLASSES GO HAND IN HAND

Good morning :-)
My new camera charger has finally arrived, all the way from China(!), and of course the first thing I do is snap some pics and update the blog.

As I am home from work today this is how I've been spending my morning so far:

In fact, there is this blanket I've been drooling over for a couple of weeks now down at my local shopping centre, it's so pretty and limited edition and so soft and insanely expensive. It's just over $130 and therefore just out of my league. Sob.

Anyway, about two weeks ago or so, I booked myself an appointment to go and have my eyesight checked. I'm a welding apprentice and I kept having trouble seeing what we call the welding pool, so my colleague advised me to for a check-up, which I did, and guess who sees the world much clearer now than she ever thought possible!?

Mhmmmm, you guessed it!
After trying on so many pairs of glasses I finally found the ones for me. I'm not gonna lie, it was a very amusing process and I did chuckle aloud more than once as I stood there alone trying on multiple specs. The ones I got are from French Connection, I originally wanted those typical big nerdy glasses, they are super cute, but on my face they looked awful haha, so this is as close as I got to what I originally wanted:

It's light outside now and my excuse to sit in front of the computer disappeared, see you! xx

OOTD - DEEP RED FLORAL


Well outfit of yesterday if we're being completely honest, in WEBCAM :(


Here's my excuse:  My camera's battery died just as I was making my poor fiancée shoot me, and as I went to charge my camera the charger BROKE!
It was not my day yesterday.........


We did manage to get some "close up" shots before the camera died and here they are:

HI, I'M NEW.

Well, it's half past one and my day has definitely not gone as planned!
Just before I had finished saving the design on my new blog the power went out!!! Can you believe my luck? Power is finally back on and my freezer went from -19 to -9 and whenever it goes below -19 it beeps like a nutter. Yes, that's exactly what it's doing right now, hahaha :(

Anyway, I'm Ida.
I just started this blog today and I'm new to blogger, as I previously blogged from www.blogg.no, but bare with me - I'll get the hang of things soon! :)

I live in Norway with my fiancée and our polar bear Tor. Just kidding, people in Norway don't have polar bears.....
I'm interested in things like make up, fashion, hair, accessories, chocolate, a good book or a good movie, family, baking, animals, helping others, languages, sims, music and chocolate. Yeah, chocolate was on my list twice.

This blog will be a reflection of things that preoccupy me and I hope that you will have as much fun reading as I have writing :-)
