Pretty Pictures of Pretty People

I've just joined Pinterest, where I found these pictures. I'm still quite new to it, but if you want to have a look at the rest of my pins and boards, have a look here. This if from my board Pretty Pictures of Pretty People.

Abigail Ahern

If I had loads of money, I would let Abigail Ahern decorate my house. I think my life would be a bit better if I got my hands on one of her dog lamps..

A band I discovered a while ago, is Psyence, a psychedelic band from Stoke-on-Trent. All of their songs are incredible, and I absolutely love the artwork. It might actually be in the top five of my album covers, that's how much I love it! I still haven't seen them play live, but I'm hoping they'll be back in London someday soon.

Check them out here.

Wearing my favourite hat that I got from Blitz, and a kimono I got from my friend Zahra.

Started the day by sleeping a bit too long, before I had mexican food for breakfast. And then for lunch. Now, I'm sat down in the sofa, drinking tea and eating cake, like a 70 year old lady. Can't complain.

A few weeks ago, Zahra and I decided to be cultural. We went to Tate museum of modern art, but it didn't take long to realise that none of us find modern art appealing at all, except for pretty bright neon lights, obviously.

I've still got a lists of museums I need to visit, so maybe I'll be luckier next time, and find something that's a bit more relevant to my interests.

Friday 07.06.2013

Started my day off like this, looking fabolous as always. Strolled down Camden High Street, in to Central London, and handed in some disposable cameras to get developed. While waiting for them, I had a walk around, and picked up some basic t-shirts and vests before I go to Malta (not until the first of July, but I'll probably start packing my suitcase tomorrow..). Picked up my pictures and bought two more cameras, a scented candle, and decided that it was time to go home, and stop spending money. Until I came back to Camden, where I found a green, Mexican skull flower pot, in a pop-up shop playing only The Ramones. I didn't really have a choice.

Zahra's

I went over to my friend Zahra yesterday. She works as a stylist for a company that plans children's parties, so it might not come as a suprire that she's got the nicest flat of anyone I know. I snapped these pictures of her bedroom while she was making me tea, and now I'm taking the liberty of posting them here.

I just listened through the new Queens of The Stone Age album ...Like Clockwork on iTunes, and it's absolutely incredible! I can't wait to get my hands on it on the 3rd of june. Hopefully they'll stop by London soon, so I can add concert number 4 to my list.

Wanderlust

wan·der·lust  

/ˈwändərˌləst/

 A strong desire to travel: "a man consumed by wanderlust".

January 2012, I moved from Bergen, Norway to London. I wanted to try something new, and what better place to go than London? So much to do! So many places to see, so many interesting people, and SO MANY GIGS! I got a job in retail, which doesn's pay well at all in the UK. It didn't take long before I realised that I actually couldn't afford to do anything, with living expenses higher than back in Norway, and not even half of the Norwegian income. Because of this, I developed a love/hate relationship to London.

I loved the fact that I was living in Camden, the thought of me working in Carnaby Street, and that I had the entire city on my doorstep. I hated that I couldn't do what I wanted to do. Go to gigs, treasure hunting in Notting Hill, vintage shopping in Brick Lane, and sweaty gigs in Camden. I might come across as a spoilt Norwegian girl now, but working nine hour long shifts, and just barely being able to pay my bills wasn't what I signed up for.

So, I needed change. And last Friday, I got offered a job that more than doubles my income, gives me weekends and evenings off, and 13 weeks of holiday per year! I'm so excited to start my new job! I'll have so much more freedom, and I'll have time and money to see the world! So, I'm starting it off in July, by going to Malta for ten days.

I'm really excited! Excited to go somewhere new, get some sunshine on my pale spaghetti arms, and just relax. I have never been there before, so I'll make sure to do some research before I go. If anyone's been there, I'd love to get some tips!

I've also started planning my next holiday(s)...

Havana, Cuba. I have always wanted to go. My dad's girlfriend lived there on a boat for a year, and it sounds absolutely amazing. I want to go before everything changes, so I've decided that I have to go to Cuba next year. I want cigars and old American cars.

After that, Venice Beach, California.

I fell in love with Venice Beach after watching Lords Of Dogtown when I was fifteen. It just looks absolutely amazing, and I've wanted to go ever since.

I'm excited to see the world!

The Entrance Band - Lookout!

Great band, great song, great video! I love finding new music, and this little gem of a band I heard on the radio a while back, while Alison Mosshart did an hour long show presenting her favourite songs.
