Pin-up girl

It's been snowing a lot the last few days until right now, now it's raining. All the lakes around are covered in ice, it's really pretty. I hope the rain doesn't take all the snow, I was hoping for a white christmas, but we'll see, I like the rain too so it's ok. To the left you see my dad and I in town. Bergen likes modern art I think, at least you find funny looking stuff everywhere like that upside down triangle with sort of a mirror that was outside a building. I like it though, perfect for a photograph! This was taken when my dad got his iPhone 5. I'm jealous and Ken is even more jealous, haha, he's dying to get one. 
I've been watching Gossip Girl the day after it airs and next episode is the very last episode ever. I couldn't be more excited and sad. It's sad that the story is going to be over, but they've said that the person behind Gossip Girl is going to be revealed the last episode which is very exciting. So is the fact that the whole story with all it's twists and turns and complicated situations is going to be put to an end and we're going to (hopefully) get all the answers we're all dying to know. The last episode ended very dramatically in old Hollywood style, big 'cliffhanger', I can't wait to see what happens. I've also heard rumors that Georgina is going to hook up with someone the last episode, but I take it all with a pinch of salt. I really hope Gossip Girl is actually going to be revealed and they're not all like "I told you it was a secret I'll never tell". I have no idea who I'd be happy with being Gossip Girl, I always thought Dorota made sense in a way, but I hope not, I'm hoping for a real omg moment. I hope Blair and Chuck will get to be together as well, their story has turned in to a nice love story. I really hope Serena pulls herself together and stop being such a weirdo, too. 

Other than that I'm enjoying learning to cook new things. Today I'm making ham. I learned that when my grandma was here. Tomorrow I'm making chicken fillets filled with mozzarella and pesto rolled in a specific type of ham, I'm not quite sure how it's going to turn out yet. I thankfully have salmon that I know how to make in case I mess it up completely, haha. I'm also obsessed with smoothies. I make some everyday, I usually buy a smoothie mix they have at the local store that has like small bags with frozen fruits and berries so I can "mix and match", it's fun.

Yesterday I had my first driving lesson too, it was so much fun. For some reason I love driving, I don't know why I haven't started on my license sooner. Well, I do know.. I moved to Spain shortly after I had turned 18, but I'm so excited I can do it now. I can't wait to have it. I got one teacher I'll have all the time, he seems really nice. He'll make sure I get everything done and learn things properly. The cars they had there were a lot newer and easier to drive than the cars I've been driving before, which was nice.

Here's some photos from the last few days:)


Found this lovely pin-up lady on the side of a coca-cola car:D 
My mum has a way with her breakfasts
I'm an overly attached girlfriend

Beautiful
I found this crazy horse at Ikea the other day
It was so funny looking










My new cups
I went to Ikea with my mum, she has a lot still to get for her new apartment. I found these awesome retro looking cups. They are my new smoothie cups and I just love them. I also got a matching plate so I can serve cupcakes or whatever else I want to make with the smoothies, that makes me excited!

Hey, my name is Earl

Hey!

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show aired in the US three days ago, I saw it yesterday. I loved the it, I think the last two years it's been been better than ever. It was awesome seeing Adriana Lima open the show, she looks amazing and she is just ever so cool. The fantasy bra looked like it was made for Alessandra, I just totally imagine her style to be just like that. Rihanna's second performance I thought was the best performance in the show, I loved her outfit. I loved her pearl shades in her first performance too, I've already ordered similar ones. I love pearls so much, I just had to have them, haha!
They have this cool new thing on VictoriasSecret.com where you can see the  photos of the full outfits from the show and buy the underwear they are wearing, I love that!

I couldn't even start to talk about what I liked the most and which were my favorite outfits because there are so many. I absolutely love the show and I'm so excited for it every year, way more excited for this than christmas eve. Another one of the walks was inspired by all the seasons and traditions and stuff, such a cool idea! One of the walks were inspired by old Hollywood movie stars so it was very glamorous with lots of diamonds, it was also inspired by Swarovski as they have collaborated for ten years this year. The different sections were: Circus, Dangerous Liaisons, Calendar Girls, Pink Is Us, Silver Screen Angels and Angels In Bloom. I just want to watch it again now, I probably will, haha!

My new sunglasses:D
Here in Norway it's super cold these days, it's minus four degrees celsius in the day and minus ten at night. I can't sit still for more than five seconds inside without feeling freezing even though the radiators are on and I have warm clothes on. It's nice out though, the snow is still here even though it hasn't snowed for days and it's sunny every day which makes me really happy.

Do you like my new cover photo here? I thought it was time for a change, it was fun making it. 


Ken and I have started watching a show called "My name is Earl". It's so ridiculously funny! I laugh out loud several times each episode, it's just hilarious!! You have to watch it, it's on Netflix. It's about a southern, low-life guy who used to be a thief and did bad things. He wins 100,000 dollars in a scratch card, but gets hit by a car straight afterwards and starts to believe in karma. So he makes a list of all the bad things he's done and each episode is about him fixing something on his list, better and better things start happen too him. It's fun how true he stays to his promise to himself about making everything on the list right again, if he's been bad to someone he has to make them feel good again and change what he did even if they don't want him to. The cast is amazing. I'm getting excited talking about it, I just want to watch that too! Sometimes Earl looks ridiculously much like Ronnie Vannucci, the drummer from The Killers. 

Hope everyone is inside and warm:) 

Lots of love

xoxo

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

We've got the news that the owner of my dad's apartment are selling it so we have to move. That's sad in a way because I love it here and Ken and I have moved twice already the last three months, it's going to be good to have a place to ourselves again though. I love looking at apartments and stuff online so I've already found an apartment that I'm hoping to get, it's really close to my first school actually. It would be weird living there again!

Other than that the weather is lovely these days. Yesterday it was snowing a lot in the evening so around 2 am we went out to enjoy it. We walked around a little and found a playground. Playgrounds are always fun regardless of age, Ken took loads of great photos, I'm sure you can see some on Facebook soon. This is my first snow angel this year.
Me and my angel wings

It's getting really cold outside, last night it was minus six degrees celsius! It's definitely time to wear my pajamas. Outside is absolutely stunning though, I love it. 


The day before yesterday I watched the movie 'Paris When It Sizzles' with Audrey Hepburn in the lead playing Gabrielle Simpson. If you know me, you know that she is my absolute style icon. I adore her and the person she was, so I watch her movies from time to time. My all time movie favorite is 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', but I want to see all her movies. 'Paris When It Sizzles' is about Gabrielle who is a transcriber that visits a guy who needs to come up with a movie scrips in two days. It a lot of fun to watch, when he tells the story for her to write we see it, so when the story takes twists and turns things suddenly change, it's very funny. There were so many funny moments in it that made me laugh out loud, it was really good. The fashion in the movie was amazing, I want every single outfit Hepburn wore. She was just ridiculously good looking in it, as always. Her dresses are to die for! 
From a scene in the movie, just look at that dress:D 
It's not often we get to see her with her hair down, loves it!

One of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen



















Like I said, I loved the movie. It's worth watching for sure, so funny! 

I hope you're not too cold in this weather, take care:) 

Lots of love xoxo

Pretty

So like I mentioned I was gonna do in my last blog, I made cupcakes Thursday afternoon. I was gonna make 8 almond cupcakes and 8 vanilla ones. The first 8 looked funny and I realized I had forgotten sugar, the next 8 went fine, but the frosting didn't stay in the bag I was gonna put it on with so it turned out to be a big, big mess and I ended up putting the frosting on with a spoon, they looked.. Charming. I had decided to make another 8 vanilla ones since the first ones didn't really turn out being cupcakes at all and they were perfect, yay!! So tasty, I ate way too many of course.

The ones to the left are the ones without sugar

Spoon frosting.. Big mess!!

And perfect!
 To my pleasure I woke up to snow yesterday, proper snow that stuck this time. Not like last time when it was snowing a lot, but there were no snow on the ground. I had to get out and enjoy it of course so I walked in to town and met Ken when he was finished working. The shops had started decorating for christmas and there were lights everywhere. It was really pretty!


Everything was all white like this.


Pretty

Super pretty!
Today we went for a nice walk and enjoyed the snow and snowball fighting, haha!



Everything was so beautiful, but we saw a bag in the water and decided to get it out of there


Ken being an everyday hero, haha


Happy to be home and warm
Later we're going for dinner at my mum's, that's always nice. Stay warm and cosy <3
