Oslo reunion trip + New camera!

So last weekend I went to Oslo for a Jfashion reunion for us ~*oldies*~

And luckily, the same day I left for Oslo, my new camera arrived! *cheers of joy*

It's SO nice to have a new camera, and one that's way more modern than my old camera.. :) But I felt a bit "old" when I got the camera; I didn't think about the memory card. I didn't think I needed it. So yeah, that's what I get for being technologically impaired x)

My baby ^^ 

I wonder if I'm going to bling it or not, I have to think about it, and what would look nice before I do something =)

Anyway! Last Friday I took the night train to Oslo, so I arrived about 06:30 in the morning.. puh! It was really cold, but luckily my dear Pernille were kind enough to let me sleep at her place before taking the train to Ski(buya) where Erlend lives :)

After meeting Erlend and Xiao at the train station, we went to grab a bite! 

Taco salad~! It was okay, a bit too much lettuce and onion.. and not enough cherry tomatoes and salad goodness.

Messy table w/ make up, alcohol and... stuff! ^^

Before curls~ 

After curls~! This was the first time I curled my own hair with a hair straightener, pretty happy! And the curls stayed ALL night, lol

 Cutie Xiao and me! 

 I R PURDY 

 Xiao and me ate wasabi nuts like it was the end of the world. So delish! 

 Erlend being fancy pouring his wine~

 We played the Pokemon drinking game.. Don't really remember much after that, lol :'D

Pose! 

The day after... Oh my god, I haven't been so hungover in years, I think. Also, I totally forgot to remove my make up and my lenses(!), so my eyes were hurting as if my arms was being chewed off. Luckily, only one eye was like this, so I walked around with one eye shut that day XD After we went to McD's, and Xiao left, Erlend and me watched some ANTM~

Took the train to Oslo again, and went back to Pernilles place. We ate dinner, talked, and fell asleep early! After 12 hours (!) of sleep, I felt awesome again! But that feeling was temporary.. When I went to eat before going back to Bergen, I felt absolutely horrible again haha. 

Fajitas~! 

The train ride back was... so boring! Half way through I finished the only book I brought, Murakamis 1Q84. So for the rest of the ride I just.. looked out the window into the darkness.. Yay xD

Next time I'm updating, I think it'll be from London! Going to visit a good friend of mine there who's studying there, can't wait!

Playing around with big eye "Human Barbie" make up~

So now I have re-discovered the human Barbies, Valeria Lukyanova and Anastasiya Shpagina, and am mildly obsessed with their make up techniques and trying to transfer them onto my face. It's hard XD 

I have also read a lot of drama on ExposeBarbie concerning these gals, also the drama with Lhouraii Li.. And I can safely admit that these girls (except for Lhouraii Li), seem batshit insane! I've taken distance from the drama-part, and instead trying to play with some of the make up they portray :) 

Now I also wanted to try the photoshopping that they do, and I must say.. I look really creepy. Haha.

But it was fun trying!

From Jan. 12th. No lashes, I'm running out of lash glue.. haha. Have to buy more, as soon as possible! :)

I want to develop this make up style to my own, but as a student and part-time worker one doesn't always have time for so much make up ;)

What do you think of the "Human Barbies"? 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 明けおめ！

I'm sort of very late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! ( ^ _ ^)∠☆PAN！

So I'm finally back in Bergen, and a new semester has started. This semester in Norway will not be that long-lasting, since I'm going to Japan in MARCH! That's in like... 55 days if I get to travel on the date I want to!

School life has slowly started and I'm taking it easy, focusing on my bachelor degree paper! Throwing around ideas, reading around the theme I want to write about and such.. :) The real studying doesn't start until Tokyo ;)

I'll post some pictures from my wonderful new years eve, I had lots of fun! 

At first I went to a couple, Vegard and Anka to eat dinner, and after that we went to Lars for drinking and celebration ^^

Me, Susann and Veronica~

Fireworks! It looks like mistletoe.. x)

Susann and me celebrating in the cold! ^^

Me playing Tekken.. haha! I'm very competitive, especially when I'm drunk XDD

The beautiful Kim and Veronica, and me; probably thinking "I'm surrounded by idiots." They aren't though. Well, maybe Kim is, but we love him anyway!

I'll update more now as I have time, but think it's better to split the entries a bit :)

メリークリスマス！Ｍｅｒｒｙ Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｍａｓ！

I'm starting to come down from the high that is called Christmas.

Lovely holiday.

From Christmas Eve

The outfit

Dress: H&M
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
Necklace: D&G

The purple colour on the shoes turns out WAY more blue when I take pictures with flash.. Annoying that my hair doesn't do the same :P

 Dinner table :3
The food mum made was wonderful as it is every year. I'm gonna miss her cooking next year when I celebrate Christmas in Tokyo! Hopefully I'll be able to find some form of replacement for it :)

Hi.

Christmas treeeee~!

I got some nice presents as well! I don't have any pictures though, I already packed everything down! :O
I got:

♥ A camera, from mum:

It hasn't arrived yet, we ordered it on the 22. hehe. Can't wait! It's all fancy, and in a VERY nice colour I might say. I've had the same camera since 2007, and as you can see, the picture quality now isn't so much to brag about anymore. :P Maybe I'll give my old camera to my cousins, maybe they will think it's fun to play around with!

♥ A book, from my lovely Anne, together with some much needed hair products: 
The book isn't an ordinary notebook, it has a beautiful red and gunmetal/silver brocade pattern with two magnet locks. She wrote a really touching nice message inside, that almost made me cry, hehe. Can't wait to start on my book!

♥ Nick-nacks and candy from Victoria
She currently lives in London, and bought some trinkets for me from a shop in Covent Garden. A hyrule shield mint box, super cute kitty socks, Pocky, cute erasers etc~ Lots of cute stuff!

♥ Homemade candy from Veronica
She put it in a really nice bowl with a stem, and decorated it a bit with some AB crystals :3 She said she was going to buy me something, but I'm happy anyway :)

♥ Redken product from Pernille, as well as a Hyrule shield key ring :3 
Well, nothing much more to say about that, except that I'm incrrrrredibly grateful for the hair product, because OH LAWD I need it XDD My poor hair.

 ♥ Lush Shower Gel from Sara
It's called Twilight, and it has glitter in it. Hehe. Smell really nice, can't wait to try it :)

Hmmmmmm... I don't think I remember any more presents now... I always forget someone!
Anypoo! I should really go to bed, I need all the beauty sleep I can get before going out with my friends tomorrow night! Can't wait for 2013 to start, so much adventure and travel :)

Enjoy your holiday everybody!

Finally back home!

I arrived back home to my family yesterday! I was too tired to blog, and I just wanted to settle in a bit. I packed pretty heavy this time, I hope to be stylish this Christmas! My packing is always a hot mess, but now I packed colour and style coordinated. So I hope that will help me finding something to wear without too many nervous breakdowns XD

I have no plans for Christmas so far, so these days should be interesting. I'm currently watching Gossip Girl and eating chocolate, just because I can! :) Lazy days.

I'm currently staying at my dad and stepmoms place, and they're taking care of the cutest papillon dog ever, Emma! Only a dog can get me take a walk voluntarily, haha. It was nice, I can't wait to get my own dog some time in the future!

 So cute and fluffy!

Emma says hi to you guys~

I also found my dads old Calvin & Hobbes collection, so I think I'm going to do a bit of reading before I go to sleep tonight :D So much nostalgia.

In Norwegian Calvin & Hobbes is called Tommy og Tigern, Tommy and the Tiger :)

I hope all of you who celebrate Christmas have a great one! 

And I'll see you the 22nd, if the world hasn't ended by then ;)

... I almost miss having blonde hair.. haha :')

Purple hair! 髪を染めました！

So last night I got tired of having uneven yellow-blonde hair, so I finally dyed it! ...myself! 

I have never dyed my own hair unless it's been black on black, so it was an interesting experience. 

I don't have a double mirror, so I actually had to tape my make up mirror on the wall behind me to see the back of my head. 

Like this:

If it looks stupid and works.. it ain't stupid ;)

♥ LAVENDER FOAM ♥

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Aaaand the result! 

 Also, new stripey pants from H&M! They are the bees knees.

In normal daylight:

I'm super happy, and proud! I better buy some more colour when I get the chance, I guess this one fades quite fast! 

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

...But NOW I have to get to school, because today is my last exam, the Japanese oral exam! Aaaah I'm kinda nervous. But I guess it'll be allright, I've been talking to myself in Japanese the last days. I hope that helps.

Wish me luck~!

がんばります。

My Litas have arrived!!

YESYESYESYESYESYES!! 

They are HERE! I'm super excited!

I actually wondered wether I should make a vlog about this or not, but I went for a no... I'm too shy! Haha, I have no idea "how" to talk to a camera... But I did make a video! Take a look :)

I am superhappy with this pair! They are a close to perfect fit, they weren't small at all. Well, I don't think you could fit a pair of thick socks in there, but these aren't made for Norwegian winters anyway ;)

Thank you Solestruck!
