Something for the mind and soul

Sleep tight, xx

Friends

From the moment we stepped into our first class in school, from the moment we did our first jump in dance class, from the moment we moved to a new neighborhood, from the moment we asked to join a game .. All these moments doesn't stop exciting, just because we gets older. 

Moving a new country or getting to a new job .. the insecurity will always follow our every single step. 

But even though the feelings of fright, insecurity and sadness follows, it will get replaced of other extraordinary feelings by time. You are never alone and therefore you shouldn't feel alone. 

I had the same feelings, I didn't know what to do or how to get friends. I was thrown out from my comfort zone, far away from home .. but now when I look back, I see a big change.

You can always find "friends" .. but actually friends, are a lot harder to find. 

You can live and have a fine life with "friends", but when you really find a friend, it's like pure love.

Falling in love is not far from finding a real friend. One you really connect with and who understands you. I was lucky. I got a lot of "friends" at this place .. but only your heart can tell you who is your real FRIEND.

Tourists at Louvre

Went to Louvre to make fun of all the silly tourists.

It's okay. While you live in Paris (even though this will sound snobbish and superficial, it's true) you get pretty annoyed by all the tourist. They are loud, noisy and are walking sooo slowly. 

Anyway, we went to Louvre to take some of the funny tourists shoots.

This is the result.

20 degrees and a month to Christmas

Can't believe that November keeps bringing warm, sunny days ...

Sunday was 20 degrees pleasure and people were tanning by La Seine.

Me and Amelia went for a light lunch by La Seine and went for a long walk in the lovely weather.

Even though it's really fantastic, I would like to see a bit snow ish weather soon,

 so I can get in the right Christmas mood.

Christmas in the sun

It's late November, but this Saturday felt like a day in September. Lovely sunny weather - therefore it was really unrealistic walking down the Christmas decorated Champs-Élysés.

The special Christmas market at Champs-Èlysés opened today and it was kind of funny getting in Christmas mood, when it was sunny, no snow - but grass. 

I bet it will be amazing when there have falling some snow over Paris and when it gets December dark.

It's going to be a beautiful Christmas in Paris ... actually, I can't wait!

Have a lovely Saturday!

A vintage coat

Eventhough it's late November, i've been able to walk around in my black leather jacket until now.

But I had to start looking from a realistic point off view - it's getting winter, which means that sooner or later it'll be freezing cold. Therefore me and the girls went vintage shopping for finding the perfect, cheap winter fur. We went to one of my favorite vintage shops in Paris, 

called Episode, at Rue Tiquetonne 12-16 (75002 Paris)

They have amazing vintage scoops for cheap prices and I was able to find myself

 a really nice black fur coat with a hoodie.

Now I'm ready for the winter!

Lots of love xxx

Let's go for a walk

SORRY

Missed out on my date with my one and only love (....and neighbor) last night.

I was going to meet him at a movie premiere at Champs-Élysés, but I was running late from dance class and missed my chance with this gorgeous man.

My friend, Emily made it and txted me later that she had a wonderful night together with MY man. 

I can't hate myself enough for this.

Ended up with friends and too much wine - just to be even more miserable!

Hope everyone else had a better day than I did ..

Reality

History is largely told as a cronacle of great people doing great things. But for most of us, life is not made of big moments, but small moments. And with every small choice, with every small decision, we are defining our selves. Are we honest, are we faithfull, are we proud of our selves or are we dissapointed of who we have become? Life rarely turn out the way that we have planned. The unexpected happens and it surprices us with new and exciting experiences ... but sooner or later reality hits you in the face. 

I have to wake up from my dreams and fairytales now. I need to find out what next year is going to bring me .. who i'm going to be and what i would like to achieve.

Sleep tight xx
