Wedding bells

So, yesterday was the second reason why I visited mom, some friends to the family got married! I don't do well in these kind of social situations, but it was rather nice, and I borrowed my cousins DSLR to take some photos for the bride and groom, thus taking on the roll as "photographer" rather than guest, and got to be left quite alone(because people hate cameras haha).
But I don't mean to sound negative, I was really happy to be invited, and we got delicious food and it was really wonderful seeing them beam together.

What I wore for the occassion! Quite blurry but I was in kind of a hurry.
/Rhyme master

 Wedding cake! Woop woop, there were five of them, ranging from big to small. 
They looked better than they tasted, haha.

Out of respect I don't wanna publish any face pictures, but man, look at the brides hair
Fo reals! I don't care much for strange bridal updos(they tend to look rather tight), so thiis, thiis, so much thiis. I'm so jealous of her hair it's unbelievable! It's all her own hair, too! 
Disregard my excellent editing skillz.
 
One of the most beautiful bouquets I've seen to date!
The groom kept joking about how he had to insert the diamonds in the leeks when he planted them four years ago, and patiently wait for them to bloom. All without his wifes knowledge! Haha

A day in "town"

Today we went into town! Keep in mind "going into town" means traveling for an hour, haha. It was really nice, summer have finally come up here, so I unpacked a specially summery dress just for the hell of it! The town in question is really small, and thus there's nothing really to do there, but it's still more things to do and see than in our yard.. I guess!


I got to eat sushi for the first time since I came back to Sweden! A newly opened restaurant became the first restaurant in this municipality to offer sushi (and other japanese dishes).. Unfortunatly it.. wasn't really good. It's not that I'm spoiled by japanese sushi, because I've always prefered western styled, simply because they are just that, westernized. Lot's of salmon, "easy on the eye/mind"-pieces, and less brown-gunky-goo on top of rice. But this? Nah. But I'm giving the place the benefit of the doubt, they were just opened, we went during lunch time, and I'm kind of assuming the person doing them wasn't schooled in it.
It looked kinda pretty though, right? Btw, chives? And rom? On salmon? Huh?

Best thing of the entire day was without a douuuubbbt, the flamingo scarf!! I've been eyeing it for quite some time now, but today I finally had the money on hand to buy it! I grabbed it and ran! .. I payed inbetween those two actions though, of course. But seriously, it's so awesome! This is just a preview of the pattern (flamingos!!), I'll probably wear it alot.. It's really lightweight and soft, and Swedish summer can be quite cold, so I like to have a scarf along with me, haha.
One flamingo, two flamingo, a scarf full of flamingo!
 I totally forgot to take any outfit pictures today though, I had to rush from the minute I woke up, going somewhere with people ages 50+ means going at 09.00, no matter what. What's up with that? Haha, they didn't even have plans for the day, but it was really important that we got out of the house by 9! Oh anyway, but I did take a detail picture of the dress, I think the pattern is really lovely! Lightweight chiffon ftw!



And hey, Swede's, don't forget about Mothers Day!

Time for change

This weekend I visited my dad, and also finally had a chance to meet some of my relatives on his side! Most of them I hadn't seen for 4 years or more. One of my cousins was a baby last time I saw her, and now she was 6, and completely hyperactive.

Anyway, I don't know if I've really said anything about it, but I'm moving back to Uppsala!
It'll be nice to be out of the forest, haha! Being able to do stuff, meet people! Being able to text a friend and see if they wanna go out and take a coffee later that day, and not having to travel for 10 hours..

In honor of my second movingawayfrom home day, I'll post some pictures of my current room.  Or well, details of it.

 My Angel's Tears! I love this plant so much, everytime I look at it I wish I was 5cms tall and  able to live in it.

 My pins and brooches! The box itself isn't so visible, but it's a souvenir from Gran Canaria or something that I got when I was 6, from some friends of my mother. It's covered in shells!

 Shirts I hardly ever wear but refuse to get rid off.
 Mirror, part of my bag hanger, some hair accessories. And yes, my mirror is indeed wearing an apron.
 Skirts and dresses! I don't really know why I let some skirts hang on hangers and some be folded, but, oh well.


And that was that. I'll try and get my things in order this week. Moving is always troublesome, but I don't really wanna bring much, so it'll be even harder trying to sort out what to bring and what not to.

New Dresses

Everyone has different clothing that they bulk, my thing is dresses!
9 days out of 10 I wear a dress, so when I shop it's mainly for dresses.. Oh god, dresses, y u so awesome? Put on a dress, a cardigan, tights and some accessories and your done! No hassle, like when you use bottom/tops, having to match them together..

So, here's the dresses I got while being down south! I really love the denim one and it was what I used on walpurgis night. We went to some hipster club called Färgfabriken (The Color Factory). I'm not really a club person, but it was really nice hanging out with my friend, and meeting her friends!
The denim and heart dress are from H&M, the shirt dress is from att. but I thrifted it ;D
The shirt dress kinda reminds me of those uniforms voluntary nurses used to (still uses?) in america.. Or maybe it's just in movies?





Destiny gave me 10cms of snow and a raging cold as soon as I got back home, so I'm just lazying about, drinking silver tea with ginger in it.

I did try to paint my hair the other day, tumblrs/youtubers might have stumbled upon that whole "put oil pastels in your hair yay!"-thing that went on, and I finally decided to try it out. Turned out pretty nice I think! Non-damaging, easy to wash out. I think I'll keep doing this!
