He still doesn't know where we're going (Berlin!) but he will be forced to bring sunglasses and his iPod shuffle on the plane in order to keep it a secret as long as possible. I'm excited!

However, I also had a peek at the museum's new acquisitions, and among others there was a gorgeous, abstract piece by Julie Mehretu. I love its visual layering and how it challenges the eye and its impressive size just adds to the madness. Of course I went home to research and personally I think her other works are no less gorgeous.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/3818/jmehretu1d.jpg" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://img265.imageshack.us/i/jmehretu2d.jpg/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/4825/jmehretu2d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://img217.imageshack.us/i/jmehretu3d.jpg/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7524/jmehretu3d.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-9537390507912101692009-07-02T10:34:00.005+02:002009-07-02T15:03:07.562+02:00Back on track?<a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img34.imageshack.us/i/67272684.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3382/67272684.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I'm such a terrible blogger. And I know this is such a lousy way to start an entry, but I just wanted tell that yes, I'm fully aware! The reason for starting this blog in the first place was the possibility it gives me to express myself in a different way than I do in my everyday life. It's about things that I've experienced and cherish, things that inspire me in relation to how I dress, how I live, how I think. And it's only when I feel like it. That some people want to read along is just a bonus, though the few readers I have are highly, highly appreciated.</span><br /><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img29.imageshack.us/i/68160908.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5636/68160908.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">But to pick up from where I left last time, I guess happiness did hit me like a train on track. So did exams. And in the middle of this lovely mess of spring happiness and exam stress I simply lost both time and inspiration to blog. Now, relaxing on the terrasse in Southern France it doesn't seem so foreign to me anymore. Practically everybody is at Roskilde right now but considering my situation right now I much prefer this. And let me tell you this: so much has happened sinc last time - yet again. There's now less than two months left until I'm leaving for Washington, DC (and I'm literally up to my neck in tedious paperwork). Afterwards I've planned an around-the-world trip including stays in Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and Turkey (looking for insider tips, especially for Taiwan and Turkey seeing those stays aren't planned in detail - if you have any suggestions, I would be thrilled to hear them!). </span><br /><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img34.imageshack.us/i/96423462.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/5686/96423462.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">And of course there are also tons of photographs I want to show you. The pictures in this post are from</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> my last vacation.. My boyfriend and I went on a long weekend to Munich and it was such a wonderful trip we had. The city is truly endearing and so diverse in terms of what the city has to offer.. We saw Bayern München play in the Allianz Arena, ate in a Michelin star restaurant called Königshof, tried on traditional German costumes in a shopping mall, went to the farmers market Viktualienmarkt, visited the Maggi and Gucci flagship store (both ridiculous), ate absurd volumes of cake for breakfast at Starbucks and Bavarian sausages for lunch, had the largest dessert I've seen in my entire life and in between we went for long walks in a city filled up with beautiful green areas and quirky architecture. What's not to love? What I also just adore about this post is how it shows me in two rather untraditional outfits. Just don't count on seeing me sporting either of those again.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img17.imageshack.us/i/63496112.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/8038/63496112.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img17.imageshack.us/i/38229996.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9748/38229996.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img30.imageshack.us/i/89690093.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/4876/89690093.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img14.imageshack.us/i/23541804.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/2603/23541804.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img10.imageshack.us/i/72264910.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8877/72264910.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img11.imageshack.us/i/99559529.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8943/99559529.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img11.imageshack.us/i/37176759.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6271/37176759.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img14.imageshack.us/i/22387814.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4205/22387814.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img17.imageshack.us/i/30502335.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9568/30502335.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img30.imageshack.us/i/41403132.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/7057/41403132.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img29.imageshack.us/i/95181184.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4985/95181184.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img11.imageshack.us/i/30102391.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8268/30102391.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img29.imageshack.us/i/21174900.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7383/21174900.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img9.imageshack.us/i/70206837.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7091/70206837.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img11.imageshack.us/i/56916464.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1441/56916464.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img29.imageshack.us/i/59382869.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8062/59382869.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img188.imageshack.us/i/26040126.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/5012/26040126.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-25349161994535280602009-04-11T18:15:00.001+02:002009-04-11T18:15:00.209+02:00Happiness, hit her like a train on a track<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nP_jsy6Trrc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nP_jsy6Trrc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Florence and The Machine //Dog Days Are Over</span>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-81409174929704958032009-04-10T21:44:00.001+02:002009-04-10T21:44:00.599+02:00Force majeure<a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=015god.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6310/015god.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Almost, that is. And mainly due to the fact that the picture above is what my bathroom looks like at the moment. A leakage in the shower had to be fixed so I haven't been able to live <em>chez moi</em> for almost 2 months now. Therefore I've been living here and there and haven't had the time nor energy to blog. On a bit of a different note, I just returned from Southern France and this time I revisited the beautiful villages of <em>Èze Village</em> and <em>Villefrance-sur-Mer </em>where I took these pictures, I wanted to share with you. I hope you are all well and I will try to post more often as well.</span><br /><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img27.imageshack.us/my.php?image=031bbg.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6157/031bbg.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=049kst.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4685/049kst.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?image=036kly.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7532/036kly.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img21.imageshack.us/my.php?image=044glw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/6092/044glw.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img16.imageshack.us/my.php?image=046oqd.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/713/046oqd.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img19.imageshack.us/my.php?image=045t.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3733/045t.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=052fkg.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1083/052fkg.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=059g.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/904/059g.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=061smw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9004/061smw.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?image=070xiz.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6884/070xiz.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-63408224680879442782009-02-23T23:30:00.000+01:002009-02-23T23:30:06.886+01:00Une nuit en rose<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/9084/33510363.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4999/90392675.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1363/89954176.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1579/53497459.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/4550/25514656.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-89447356482298780982009-02-21T22:14:00.000+01:002009-02-21T22:14:00.674+01:00Saturday Night Procrastination<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9510/n5329927961390457252.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><em>I was tagged by lovely </em></strong></span><a href="http://www.ifyouweretherebeware.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><em>Heart in a Cage</em></strong></span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><em>!</em></strong></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em><span style="font-size:85%;"><em></em></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong>What are you wearing now? </strong>I'm staying in tonight to write on my finance project so just black tights + boyfriend sweater.

Actually, more than plenty. The Kirkwoods had their first outfing. So did my ugly winter boots - at least their first (and hopefully only) this winter. I payed IKEA yet another visit and I finished decorating my apartment. Now it's just perfect and exactly the way I want it to be. Also, I got a television (<em>Big deal<strong>!</strong></em> However, it still isn't properly installed). And a boyfriend. And tomorrow morning a new washer as well. Finally, I got accepted to the Washington Semester Program for next fall semester. And within the next 10 days I have to finish a seminar on risk management for my corporate finance class so I will probably not be updating again before then. But at least you know I'm alive. Photographic evidence below.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2320/23180494xd9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/3429/77480379ed8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/777/67388370gd3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8205/99520589uv9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4682/011la3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7683/018mv1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4563/95208710wk1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/8639/35235269xd1.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-69888259014426953722009-01-24T15:45:00.001+01:002009-01-24T16:14:46.620+01:00An addition to the collection<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2681/1232151511pk1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Do you guys also have favorite searches on eBay? The first thing I type in is always "Chloe clutch" (and I must admit it kind of bothers me that you have to omit the <em>accent aigu</em> in <em>Chloé</em>. If I hadn't it would have saved me a lot of money). However, at the moment I'm trying to break the habit and avoid eBay altogether since the cash level is low. But yesterday I accidently entered the website of temptation and this beautiful clutch came up. I can't say I'm a huge Chloé fan anymore but I love what Phoebe Philo did for the house (it's going to be interesting to see if she can manage to give Céline a revival).. And one of my most treasured wardrobe pieces is a black/gold clutch with green pearl embroidery from the Philo era. Now it has company. At the price of $78 I couldn't resist.</span>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-67417249174544008262009-01-20T16:15:00.000+01:002009-01-20T16:15:01.925+01:00In the middle of nowhere<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/1353/fjllhusresidencepsarkitxe3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Fjällhus Residence // Härjedalen, Sweden // <a href="http://www.psarkitektur.se/">PS Arkitektur</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">..I want to go there! It was the perfect new year for a while and now it's already turned into a bit of a mess, but I do think I will love how things are going to turn out in the end. I just need to adjust to the thought of everything being different from what I had imagined first. I have quite an impatient nature and I'm not very good with waiting for time to come up with answers to current conundrums. But I know I'll have to. So while time is passing, I'm dreaming about going far, far away. Because for now, I just want some peace and quiet.. Some physical and mental space so that I can pick up myself and get some structure and focus back into my life again. This is a selection of where I'd do that.. in a perfect world.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/48/cabinverdehaugenfantasthj9.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/6373/cabinverdehaugenfantastjv5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Cabin Verdahaugen // Fosen, Norway // <a href="http://fantasticnorway.no/">Fantastic Norway</a></span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/9173/biscuithouseaum2dp3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Maison Biscuit // Lyon, France // <a href="http://www.aum.fr/">AUM</a></span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9474/floatinghousemos2rr6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1240/floatinghousemosxm3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Floating House // Lake Huron, Michigan // </span><a href="http://www.mos-office.net/"><span style="font-size:78%;">MOS</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/5896/haus47degflcknerschnllvq1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3580/haus47degflcknerschnll2sf6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/2007/haus47degflcknerschnll3wm8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/8196/haus47degflcknerschnll4ay1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Haus 47°40’48”n/13°8’12”e // Salzburg, Austria // </span><a href="http://www.floecknerschnoell.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Flöckner + Schnöll</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> </span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4063/ohanahousecutlerandersogc6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/1/ohanahousecutlerandersoen9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Ohana House // Niulii, Hawaii // <a href="http://www.cutler-anderson.com/">Cutler Anderson Architects</a></span>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-10322688778528235622009-01-12T23:23:00.000+01:002009-01-12T23:23:00.558+01:00Post-exam Escapades<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7456/n7924683061182154943af0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I had the most fun I've had in a really long while this past weekend. It started with <a href="http://laroutedumimosa.blogspot.com/2008/09/jan-clemens-hoek.html">my Fendi brother</a> and his camera flying in from Amsterdam. Then there was fine dining and divine wine. Dancing on ice. A playground by night. Cocktails and Chloé ad campaign rip-offs. Thomas Vinterberg. Hotdogs. Jumping in bed to the sound of Britney Spears. And a lazy Sunday in bed with Oprah, Victoria Beckham, Hard(-o) Gay and tons of food. <strong>It simply does not get better than that</strong>.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/9875/n79246830611821645599jh6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6347/n79246830611888806887fg6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9516/n79246830611821559151bx8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/74/n79246830611881589187ho0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7687/n79246830611881678238tp3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9326/n79246830611881704900kp8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7209/n79246830611888194870sf2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/8329/n79246830611881819868ec8.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2083/n79246830611882213431cp2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2994/n79246830611882182841rw9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/7100/30437029td5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3451/n79246830611882353222tx9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/7969/n7924683061188240128di2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9203/n79246830611883026777zf0.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-14685819656290192792009-01-11T19:15:00.000+01:002009-01-11T19:15:53.266+01:00Retail Therapy<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2071/18311638ds9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">*drumroll*<br />***********</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">**********</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">*********</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">********</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">*******</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">******</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">*****</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">****</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">***</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">**</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">*</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1108/34377396aa1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/771/42700710fj3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I really shouldn't have...

Since I came back from France on 28th I've been studying like a maniac for my exams which are in a few days only - therefore the lack of posts. However, I hope you have all <em>passé de bonnes fêtes</em>. I have. And I think tonight will be fabulous, too. Just a laidback dinner among old and new friends. The perfect way to end the year if you ask me. All in all, I must admit that 2008 has not been the easiest year for me though I've had some great times and made many new friends. But I also feel completely sure that 2009 will be different. Better. I'm eyeing so many new adventures to experience. I cannot wait! Unfortuantely I don't have the time just now to make the rounds to all the blogs, that I'm usually following, but still I'd like to wish each and every one of you.. those I know and those who are just reading along.. a very happy 2009 and thank you for the past year. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in 2009!</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/388/005wx2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8051/006ds4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/8964/008ed6.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/4342/002if5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9299/009ti6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4318/010ns2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/3469/013eh4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/39/014rq6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/925/015eq7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/5918/019qp2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/283/003ag4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/2534/061fi1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/652/066lf5.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-14134583148701833922008-12-22T20:53:00.004+01:002008-12-22T21:06:42.817+01:00On the 22nd day of Christmas...<span style="font-size:85%;">Hello lovelies!

But today I haven't (yet! it's only 10pm, the night is young.. I guess) - I've been baking madeleines. Referred to as "mussel cookies" by not-so-francophile friends. I made two kinds: <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Spiced-Madeleines-230781">a new kind (to me) with lots of different spices</a> and then <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/madeleines-recipe.html">the classic vanilla/ lemon ones</a>. I can't decide which ones are better. For a day of procrastination, I say try both (and then count on that the sugar rush of eating them for breakfast the next day will take you safely through your statistics exam)..<br /></span><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3722/026fg3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/9852/027da6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/6766/031rz2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/8100/035yu7.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-18332018042135737832008-12-16T21:10:00.002+01:002008-12-16T21:19:31.858+01:00On the 16th day of Christmas..<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2860/69967320rl7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">This is too cute!

And yes, there were actually still some pez candy left in those dispensers (I'm sure their taste wouldn't have changed much, though).<br /></span><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/2494/t1xu4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/887/t4st3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/4650/t5hn4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6879/t3aq3.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-32463638423946938712008-12-14T23:59:00.001+01:002008-12-15T01:12:14.236+01:00On the 14th day of Christmas...<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5261/81514005vw8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">..it's my birthday! Which is also why I'm backdating (sorry about that). Anyways, I don't have much to say except for that I had the most wonderful day with friends, family and very good food. It was great. These shots are from the Tivoli gardens. I always go there on my birthday, it's tradition.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6019/66650760rv1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5766/004wo6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/2927/011uc1.jpg" border="0" />Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-64624495408955419012008-12-13T23:59:00.000+01:002008-12-14T03:11:36.218+01:00On the 13th day of Christmas...<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9854/310284984705164dedd2yw8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />..it's Lucia day! I reckon it's one of the stranger traditions we have here in Scandinavia. Actually it's originally a Swedish tradition which was formed to mark the night between the 12th and the 13th which is the "longest" of the year. In the morning the young girls would get up while it was still dark and serve breakfast wearing this crown of lit candles. That's however not how we celebrate here in Denmark. Instead we have processions of girls wearing the candle crown while singing.<br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/7331/31037782081c0fe29b62gh3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/2020/3103792482367319b6f8ef3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://modemedmere.blogspot.com/2008/12/13december-chic-luciabrud.html">Maria from Mode Med Mere</a> already came up with some beautiful lucia styling suggestions.

I guess it's about time seeing I moved in almost half a year ago but seriously, I haven't really had the time to fix all the little details. And there's a third heat as well.. It involves finding some better alternatives for the walls.. And proper lighting.

A wishlist? I don't really do that. To be honest, I was never really a fan of this concept. I have people asking for my wishes constantly at the moment, seeing that my birthday is just around the corner and well, so is Christmas. The reason that I'm really not good with wishlists is because I don't feel very comfortable with people giving me something because they feel like they should. If anyone gives me a present, it should be because they really want to and because there's a bit more thought behind. At least that's what I always opt for when I give out presents.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">But of course I always manage to construct a wishlist containing lots of dull things like newspaper subscriptions, nail polish, kitchen tools and the occasional electronical device. However, I also have a wishlist, that I keep to myself. Things I'd love to own but would never even consider asking other people to buy me. Like a Chanel bag (something I've actually promised to endow myself with once I finish my bachelor's degree) or a piece of Rick Owens outerwear. You know, all the <em>almost</em> utopian wishes that didn't quite make it to the wishlist with the things which are <em>actually</em> utopian. Like photographic memory, a time machine, a speedy metabolism, the ability to wear leggings without looking like a fool, Radiohead playing in my backyard, a backyard... As for the other pieces, if I really want them, I'll find a way get my hands on them.. </span><span style="font-size:78%;">and by the way, I think that applies not only to clothes-purchasing but most other things in life as well..</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>So here they are, the maybe it'll happen (but probably not and definitely not now) wishes<br /></em></span><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/677/philliplimsi3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">..3.1 phillip lim fur.. i'm really not that much into fur but this one is one of the few pieces i've seen which is "young" enough to catch my fancy..</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9125/maylejt9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">..mayle + chalayan dresses.. i don't have a white silk dress (every wardrobe should have one, i think!).. and these are just perfect!</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/4872/19452197qd6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">..balenciaga s/s08 heels..there are tons of these listed on eBay at the moment, but seeing they retailed for +$2000 i don't predict them entering my wardrobe in the near future.<br /></span><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/3052/laroutemr8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">..alexander wang + life with bird dresses.. wouldn't either of these be great for new year's?</span><br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3263/trenchvl8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">..another piece a wardrobe shouldn't be without: a trenchcoat. this one is by 3.1 phillip lim.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Those things are very high on my list at the moment. So, what are you guys wishing for this year? And giving out? I'm having a very low-key Christmas.. As a matter of fact, I'm going to France and it will just be me and my parents and then my aunt will join us on the 25th. Besides, we decided to just give each other one small gift. I'm giving my parents two photoalbums which I've made myself. One from a trip to Malaysia a few years ago (my mom thought the pictures were lost but I found them just recently) and then our recent trip to Japan.</span>Mettchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04244779341805466199noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213481796431131817.post-63466378238361120302008-12-10T21:40:00.000+01:002008-12-10T21:40:00.184+01:00On the 10th day of Christmas...<a href="http://imageshack.us/"><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/7856/76508918kk7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Look what I just re-found in one of the dodgiest corners of my laptop!
