my favorite polaroids from 2010

i forgot to post this in 2010 and i didn't take any polaroids in 2011, so here they are while i'm on the topic, a bit late.

a tag!

I was tagged today with a My Favourite Things of 2012 tag from sweet Rhianne, over at fortheeasilydistracted.com. She's one of my favorite bloggers, so i'm very happy i was chosen! I like these questions too because they really suit my 2012..! ok here goes..

• Favourite Makeup – I went on what felt like a crazy shopping spree and got lots of Maybelline lipsticks in america. they are my favorites. I ended up using "Feel pink" most of the time, i really like that one on me, it's a good every-day lipstick and that's the one i always have in my purse.

• Favourite Book – Definitely Bram Stoker's "Dracula" i read during the summer. I also started on "the vampire Lestat" by Anne Rice, and oh my, that one is beautiful too.. i don't want it to end!

• Favourite Album – Lana Del Rey's "paradise edition" and Julee Cruise's "falling into the night". great stuff.

• One thing that I’m grateful for – my life and the people in it.

• Greatest Challenge – the transition from being a horse-person to a person without horses.

• What are you looking forward to in 2013? – finishing my Master's degree is a big one!

For My Favourite Things of 2012, I tag anyone who reads my blog! leave a comment to let me know!

I've posted this on flickr long ago but never here, and it's one of my favorites.

shopping in my own closet..

i had completely forgotten about this vintage Lotta corps blouse, so i was quite excited to find it. it has the three crowns on the buttons and i love this old pale blue color. this is my spring color this year. I want to knit a 1940's cardigan in pale old mint green to go with it. that's my favorite decade right now. everything was very much home made in those days, and i like that and want to be better at it.

blog look.

I've moved around in the header as you can see, and i will keep it for a while to see if i like it. I've also updated a few trips from last year.. pompeii, herculaneum and gotland. I've been sick on and off this month, so i have a few posts waiting, reviews of last year and so on. soon!

this photo of brother peter is the very last photo on the film roll. the last day was the best day because there had been snowing a lot the night before, and it was a bit warmer.

a ski vacation in the fells. day 1/3

What is winter without a ski trip? between xmas and new years eve, i went on a ski vacation, it was a bit cold, ca -16 C. We were out the few hours the sun was up, around lunch time, it only stayed above the horizon. maybe i should have used iso 400 film, but this 200 one shows how far away the sun was. My sister, brother and i failed miserably at creating an 1980's vacation feeling, as we were dressed in black, and not a bright color in sight. We did not ski the bigger mountain, just the small one but the slopes were challenging enough for me so it was good. I found one slope that i particularly liked more than the others. and oh.. the views!

um... yes please.

"Tears on Tape’ is going to be really organic, straight-in-your-face, super melancholy bulls— [Laughs]. It’s going to be something nobody’s heard before. I’m really happy about it. It sounds great. Remember the soundtrack for ‘Twin Peaks’ that Angelo Badalamenti did? It’s got that similar forlorn, melancholy quality but mixed up with Motörhead. That’s where we’re at! We’re really happy. It’s got that dreamlike quality. It’s like Roy Orbison meeting Metallica."
