on to the pictures! (lots of them~) — v
Hello! I wrote in my earlier post from Tokyo that I was going to do a food post as well. So here it is! ^-^
I had so much delicious food. I don’t think I managed to take pictures of it all. But I did take a lot of food pictures! also, I played around a bit when I edited them so… I hope you don’t mind ^^;

Hello! I’m back from Tokyo.
I had such a wonderful time there! There’s so much I want to write about, but I don’t know where to start. I think I’ll just start posting some pictures and mostly let them speak for themselves ^^
On to the pictures! (lots of them) —v
Hello! I’m sorry I haven’t had time to update my blog for a while. I’ve ben super super busy (as usual..) But part of it is because I’m going to Tokyo tomorrow! I’m so excited. It’s been almost two years since my last visit, and I can’t wait to go back. It almost feels like going home.
Here are some things I’m really looking forward to:
Random pictures found on the internet hehe ^^ most of the food pictures I found on this tumblr blog.
Since I’m now living on a student budget I probably won’t be doing as much shopping as I did the last time I was there. But I’m mostly looking forward to just exploring the city and eat lots of delicious food and go out. And I’m only going to be there for 10 days so I’ll probably just stay in Tokyo City area. But someday I want to travel to other places in Japan as well. Such as Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone, and so on. And I really want to visit an Onsen (温泉) someday *_*
Another reason why I’m super busy is because I’ve recently started taking a distance course in Japanese (at Högskolan Dalarna). It seems like a great course and our teacher seems great, but it’s so hard ;__; I haven’t been studying japanese for like 3 years so I’m really falling behind. But I’ll do my best and hopefully it will be okay. ^^ Anyway. Hopefully I get the chance to update my blog when I’m in Tokyo, but if not I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures anyway so I can write about it later. ^-^
I hope everyone is having a great start of the new year. I sure am! Me, my boyfriend and two of our friends (who’re also a couple ♥) decided to begin the new year at Yasuragi. (it was me and Johan’s Christmas gift to each other) Best thing ever! You might remember that I wrote a short review about my earlier trip to Yasuragi in 2010. And this time we had a just as wonderful stay as back then.
it’s hard to believe it’s January. in Sweden the temperature is usually way below 0°c by now, and lots of snow. but not this winter. strange!
We ate at a different restaurant this time, so the food was a bit different than the last time I was at Yasuragi. But still delicious!
Also, um.. I’m kind of into this “retro” editing of photos lately. I hope you don’t mind ^^;;
Hello again! so.. I’m still not done telling you about New York. ^^;; But this post will only be about things I bought there. Tehe :’D Since Manhattan is mostly filled with designers brands I didn’t do much clothes and shoe shopping. There are some cheaper alternatives of course, like Forever21, Century21, some floors at Macy’s, Strawberry, and some other stores. But some things that were really cheap (or at least cheaper than in Sweden) was accessories and make up~~
In Chinatown I found lots of nice gyaru-things. I bought some Dollywink eyelashes (and a case for them, because it was so cute ^^) and also decided to try a Palty haircolor. I haven’t tried it yet but I’ll give you an update on that when I do ^^ and I also bought some colored lenses. I’ve never tried lenses before, and I always felt it was such a big effort to order online (although it probably isn’t ^^;;) but now they were right in front of me and they were cheap so I decided to try. I still haven’t tried them on though. I know the brand is probably not very “gyaru” and I don’t even know if it’s any good but I think it will be a good first try for me ^^
There are a lot of beauty stores all over Chinatown, and they usually have both japanese, korean and chinese beauty supplies. I don’t remember all the names of the stores I walked in to, but I remember one named Kan Man on Canal Street 200, and The Penguin Shop not far from there. ^^
One expensive thing I did buy though was this wallet from Guess. Or, well, it wasn’t that expensive since it was only about $30. We have Guess in Sweden as well but it’s much more expensive. I think.. And the iPhone case I got from a Sunday street market on 6th Avenue ^^
Make-up is a lot cheaper in the US than in Sweden. I bought a lot from Forever21, but as I wrote about earlier Sephora has a big range of make-up and brands. I also bought some tanners and bronzers from Victoria’s Secret. As well as some nice panties ^^;;
And I bought lots of magazines at Kinokuniya (1073 Ave of the Americas). And lots of nails. because they are also cheaper in the US than in Sweden ^^;;
And of course, I bought A LOT of accessories. I don’t have pictures of all of it though ^^;; got most of my rings and necklaces from Forever21. And this nice belt from Claire’s (on Broadway), and a nice bag from Aldo (it was on sale ^^;;)
Hello again! So even though my last post about New York was kind of long, I still left many things out. There is just so much to write about! One thing I didn’t mention was all the amazing food we had. So this will be a food post!
Random photos from China Town.

Hi everyone! I’m finally back in Sweden after my 3 week vacation in the states. I already wrote about my trip to Dallas, so now I’m going to write about my time in New York City.
This was my first trip to New York (and the US for that matter) And there was so much to do and see, so this post will be very picture heavy! Continue reading »

Hi! So, I’m no longer in Dallas, but I thought I’d make a better update about my visit there. It was so much fun! but REALLY hot! most of the time it was around 95-105°F (35-40°C). I like heat, but thank god for AC. wouldn’t have survived without it. Okay, so, lots of pictures ahead!
Hello from Texas! I have poor internet connection here… but now I finally get to update my blog. ^^ And well, Dallas is HOT. it’s very nice though (at least when you have AC). Oh and also, I cut my hair just before I got here. ^^;; so now it’s really short.
I also colored it to a brighter tone.
But I think I need to bleach it to get the tone I want.
