A girls connection to her closet.

I realize more and more what a hopeless-materialistic-happiness-weirdo I am sometimes. Just yesterday I re-did my little cot closet and it gives me so much good. I'll try and describe it, I think I feel the way as one of my aunties feels when she goes to church on Sundays. I feel right, good, peace, I feel hallelujah! I don't think she'd agree to compare the two but I that's how I feel. Is that weird? I feel like I should be a bit embarrassed about this but I'm not. I can't be the only one.


"Gosh, they're just clothes."
"No, that's where you're wrong!!!!"

Ok. It's weird, but that's just the way it is. Want to know something weirder? ...... Ok here goes, when I'm angry, sad, highly emotional in some way... I go into that tiny cot and I look around at all the hangers and the clothes and it just feels like heaven, everything melts away and all I can think and feel is how gorgeous this all is. The shoes, the pieces, so on.

Sometimes if I'm really emotional I feel the fabrics. And I'm not ashamed of it!!!

Summer, come on!

Sigh. Summer is simply the best time of the year. Everything is so bright and blooming, and the whole season just has this happy feel to it. I was looking through some pictures and thought I'd share. 



It wasn't really necessary with a blanket, Norwegian summers aren't that cold. Promise. But look at the sweet uncle taking care of his niece!



Annual summer activity: cricket (? Crocket? No?) in the garden.



And trampoline tumbling!



More tumbling, and my birthday get-together, with brilliant homemade-from-a-pack-brownies.



Playful-frisbee fiancé and serious-car fiancé.



Trip to Baroniet with multiple relatives, the most stunning place ever.


I'm extremely ready for summer now, it's not going to be here in a while but I'm really looking forward to the Qatar trip. It will be about 30 degrees my mom says, which is ... a bit much to be honest! I've already packed my clothes for the trip ... haha .. *lilbitpathetic-ohwell*

Things to look forward to!

It feels like such a long time since I've posted anything new on the blog. It's not really been "that" long but a lot of things have happened, and they are all so good! And that feels so wonderful!

- My sister came to visit with her boyfriend, briefly as I said she would, before leaving for Italy! She's moving there with him and I'm really happy for her, she finally seems to have found her place <3 I don't see her that often - only once or twice a year, and it's always good to catch up, I never really realise how much I've been missing her until she's here.

- I started work, which was quite heavy in it's self but things are really looking up, and yesterday I had to go home early thanks to the cold I am currently suffering from, and I'm honestly quite sad about it.

- I'm going to London! :-) I'm going with my best friend Maria, and it's going to be all about shopping, food, and caaaandy. It's not until the end of February but I can't wait to get "away". A change of scenery is always nice in this depressing cold winter. Also, we've never done anything like this before, imagine going so far without parental supervision! ... Just kidding, kind of. I should make a London guide after I get back.

- Hehe, I'm going to Qatar! And I should make a guide there too! It's so entirely different from here. We're going for Easter, my brother Are, my dear Silviu and our beautiful daughter. And me.

- We bought a lot!!!! Well, we didn't pay for it or sign any contract yet, but it's ours <3 and ... I think I need to make a post just about this to get out everything I wanna say! <3 <3 <3 <3

- Last but not least; our wedding is starting it's planning process. Hahaha, my mother and I Skype a lot, and of course we talk about the wedding (a lot) and I think Silviu just, I don't know, gave in and gave us the go for planning wondering if he was invited haha :*

*sigh*

:-) This is such a positive post, I'm in a really good place right now. Except from the cold, but THAT is going to go away soon :-) :-)  And I'm on a roll with blogging right now, so I will just get on to writing another blog post about...... my nails haha. Don't judge.

MAKEUP OF THE DAY

Well, more like a couple of days ago, but "MUOD" was just easier than "MUIWACDA" or something, you know?

Lately I've been going easy on my skin, letting it breathe and soaking it in different kinds of creams, etc.

That's my cat - say hii! I've always had cats as I was growing up, but they were always too wild to have inside or pet, they'd just be afraid of you basically, and this one is like... You can touch it and it will purr, even my one year old makes it purr and she just grabs the tail and pulls it or pinches it. She's really mean to Pus, obviously she doesn't mean to be; she loves him, but yeah.

_________________________________________________________________________

I'm going back to work tomorrow after two weeks + a xmas holiday of sick leave. I just make my lunch for tomorrow teehee. I've only got about two months left of being an apprentice, seeing as I pass my exam. I'm really excited about finishing up my apprentice time. Most of my friends are two years in at university and I'm still in my hometown trying to finish my apprenticeship. Waah. I feel a little slow sometimes, but I guess we can't all be quick hopping bunnies in ALL areas of our life.

Speaking of slow, my sister is coming to stay with us for a while today, and time is going really slow because I'm excited and tired. I don't even know if I can stay up much longer - super tired.

*yawn*x3

WHAT I WORE TODAY

I really, really love outfit posts. I love spending time in my little closet planning what to wear today, tomorrow, or for the rest of the week. It's just a really peaceful and happy place, however strange that sounds... Today was one of those rare days where it was a no brainer, although some days it's a complete dilemma, I could spend an hour trying to make an outfit work and even though I see my fiancé (and all males really) rolling his eyes and telling me just to "throw on something",  although to me it's a completely blissful process.
But the thing is, even though I love creating and reading OOTDs, I am insanely hopeless at having my picture taken, showing off an outfit. I force my poor fiancé to take my pictures and I feel so out of place BUT I DO MY BEST, here you are:




1. Tights - Bik Bok // 2. Jumper - Gina Tricot // 3. Cosy socks - Cubus // 4. Snood - Gina Tricot

My brother came home from Qatar yesterday, with gifts (!!) and this is the one I got from my mother:



It's so beautiful, she designed it herself and it's so clever! You can kind of break it up like this:

2014

 

Hey, guess what we did the other day! We went to see a builder about building a house and suddenly it doesn't seem so scary anymore. I'm actually quite looking forward to it. I'm not worried about when or where, it's just nice to think it will happen, you know, sometime and somewhere. Well at least I'm finding it all very nice and comforting and that's all we need.

And it's 2014!! Gosh, I feel like it's still 2012 and we were all going to die. Time flies.
For 2011 my fiancé took me to the first "proper" party I've ever been to. I wanted to go in sweatpants and a hoodie but ended up going in a super slutty dress (which I use as a top now, goodness what was I thinking back then). The party was horrible and my fiancé was drunk and we fought and I didn't know anyone there and everyone was drunk apart from 17 year old me and we didn't get a cab home until 6 am.
For 2012 we travelled to Spain, I shopped these gorgeous shoes which I used on the New Years Eve and they gave me such blisters, I don't think I ever used them again haha. And just a month after this I found out I was pregnant!
And for 2013 we flew to Qatar, to see my family there, and we were celebrating with our 3 month old baby, just pure bliss.
This year we spent at home, with my aunt, uncle, cousins, grandfather and each other. Our baby slept through the whole thing and even though I missed our first fireworks, running for my camera, it was perfect and I got to snap some pics:










Who knows what more will have happened or where we'll be at the end of this year? I'm excited to find out! xx
