Simply me, a Swede in LA

It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it.

I'm so (K-)fed up!


So you think you cleaned up your act? Think again dude... It's gonna take more than a new suit and a shave (tho I have to say I am impressed, I didn't think he had it in him) to make us forget lyrics like:

I want to see your kitty and a little bit of titty–
want to know where I go when I’m your city? (Uuum, how do I put this? Heeeell nooo!)
-Popozao

...But I know that you really can't wait
Because people always askin' me
When's the release date?
Well maybe, baby, you could wait and see
Until then all these Pavarottis followin' me (Say whaaat??)
Gettin' anxious? Go take a peek
I'm starrin' in your magazines (Yeah, as the douchebag wearing the same clothes every day)
Now every day and week
Back then, they call me K-fed
But you can call me Daddy instead... (So he does remember that he's a daddy? A soon-to-be father of four!)
- Y'all ain't ready


So listen to me K...FED (yes there was despise in the way I said it), maybe you oughta start acting like a father instead of smoking it up (yeah, I'm talking all sorts of smokin'), drinking 'til dawn and leeching of everybody.

Having this said, I would love to meet Kevin in the club, just so I could turn him down and make him hurt where it counts!

Shorts goes S/M?


Is this gonna be the new trend? Black leather shorts, huh? I don't know, IMO, they don't even look good on La Lohan and they'd most likely look perfectly ridiculous on me!

Mother's day




Today is Mother's day in Sweden and God knows, my mom deserves more than I could ever give her, but mommie if I could, I'd give you the world. I love you!

Mischa's shorts


I don't know about this outfit, it seems to me that to wear these shorts, you'd have to match then with something more exclusive than an old vintage tee. Mischa has a lot of money (and as we can tell from the bags in her hands, knows how to spend it) and I know she can do better than this!

Brangelina finally parents (biologically)


So after 9 e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y long months, (or is it just me that feels that way?) Angelina gave birth in Namibia, to a little baby girl named Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt *awww* Any bets on how unbelievebly beautiful this kid is gonna be when she grows up??? Yeah, that's right, freakin' miss Universe she gonna be...

To buy or not to buy?


I've been thinking about this one for a while now, it's gorgeous but I don't know if it's really my style and isn't it a little... well, nightgown-ish? I just think it would be beautiful with some chunky heels and my leather jacket. So what do you think? Yes or no?

Simply the best

Today I spent a few hours laying out on our roof terrace in the sun, reading classic chicklit and eating fresh strawberries, does it get any better than that?

Todays outfit


My wonderful bikini from Victoria's Secret

Sunny :)

Today the sun woke me up and it's way too nice weather to be spending the day inside but since I start working at 3 today I don't have time to got o the beach, so I guess the terrace has to do :)

Todays outfit


Yes, it's a little late but here it is: Todays outfit, my silky H&M dress! Very blurry picture...

Stuck together...torn apart


While Swedish paper Aftonbladet writes about the big news that Nic och AM are getting married, the couple (as the rest of us on this side of the water already knew) confirms that they've split up yet again. Obvioulsy they're still several steps away from having the ultimate scandalous celeb-on-and-off relationship: Get together AGAIN and get married within six monts, then have a baby just to realize that even that couldn't save them from crashing and burning...sounds familiar, huh Brit?

Damn!

I'm now officially on Bloggtoppen, top 30 even! How did that happen? Wait, people actually read my blog?? Interesting... Thanks, you guys :)

Juicy gelee


I've heard about these for a while now and since I am a lipglossoholic I decided to check it out. After trying it, I can say that I probably wouldn't buy it unless I had nothing better to do with my money (which I at this point most certainly do!) First of all, no matter what color you pick , it goes on clear, it doesn't even tint you lips which I find kinda boring and second of all, a big minus for me is that it's in a jar, meaning you have to use a brush. I don't mind using a brush but it's just more convenient if you don't have to. Yes, they do smell nice but overall, I wouldn't actually spend the full $16.50 + tax (and I'm sure for you Swedes, it'd be about double that price)

More Urban :)

Turns out they also got some new cute stuff in...like kleinblue flats, Bruger-pumps from Oh deer that I've been looking at at Zappos and cute white drainpipes. But I NEED to save up money for vacation! Gaaah, this is so frustrating!

Urban sale!



Oooh! Urban Outfitters got their pre-summer sale started and there are plenty of goodies :)

Finally Bloggtoppen :)

I finally got this thing with Bloggtoppen.se, for you people who (like me up until a week ago) have no idea what this is about, the deal seems to be that you register your blog (only for Swedishblogs/blogs with a connection to Sweden) and then you can see how many visitors you get and what people think of your blog. I'm really curious to see what you guys think of my blog so feel very free to leave comments ;)

Make no mistake, I'll still keep writing whatever I feel like but you guys might have some good suggestions, compliments or critisim, I do not censure anyone. Thank you :)

Forgotten challenge!

Oops! I totally forgot about Ellen's challenge from a while ago, to list 5 weird things I do or bad habits, so here it goes, here's the worst of me:

* I'm really bad at explaining things, directions, how something happened, just anything.

* I can't tell a story straight out, I always wander off to the side and end up telling a whole other story.

* I buy new clothes even though I have unused ones hanging in my closet with price tags still on them.

* I have THE WORST memory.... It can be anything from sitting and having a conversation with someone and suddenly realize I have no idea what we're talking about, to not being able to remember what exactly happened yesterday...(No, not in that way! Just like, what did I actually DO? And it turns out I watched movie, cleaned and went shopping for all I know...)

* And last but not least, I'm very trusting and naive, which I shouldn't be considering where I grew up, but I always want to believe in the good in people and it gets me in trouble, therefore (and here comes what I think is the worst thing I do), I can be a total bitch sometimes if I think somebody has the wrong intentions.

Well, that wasn't so hard, now to pass the challenge forward (even tho everybody has probably already done it)
I challenge:

Cicci
Ida
Emma
Modeamatoren
Matilda

Challenge!

So, I was challenged by Cicci and I'm not the one to chicken out :)

Favourite thing in my closet right now: Hmmm... I think my blue Chloe dress

Would like to switch wardrobes with: Right now, Lindsay Lohan or come to think of it, Rachel Zoe wouldn’t be so bad :)

Most comfortable in: A cute dress!

Style tip: A big smile makes the ugliest clothes look like haute couture

My style is: Girlie and very “me”

Most common color on my clothes: White, blue and red (ew, how American did THAT sound, I’m adding black and pink just for the sake of it)

This summer I’ll be dressed in: Plenty of gorgeous dresses, flats and platforms, very 50’s and 60’s.

But absolutely not in: Leopard print

Right now I smell like: Honeysuckles, cause I have one in my hair, Otherwise I smell like Paris

Favourite model: Lily Cole, a cliché by now, but she’s so beautiful and different.

Pants or skirt? Skirt!

I have this many shoes: Ok, I’m only gonna count the ones I have here in LA so... 18 pairs...that I’m using....on this side of the ocean...

Everyday makeup: Mascara, lipgloss


Party makeup: Eyeshadow, mascara, lipgloss and blush

Makeup-tip: Go natural baby, makeup should be used to bring out your natural beauty, not change the way you look.

If I could have one piece of clothing, one bag and a pair of shoes for free I’d pick: Oh mon dieu! For the clothing I was gonna go for Lindsay’s Marchesa dress, but something more useful would be this one from Michael Kors. The bag would be a Bayswater *surprise* and these shoes, oh, I’ve been wanting those forever! Nobody makes shoes like Christian Louboutin.

Me in 3 words: Big-hearted, all-over-the-place and, dare I say it...funny?

My workout: Gym a few times a week, long walks and weights

My childhood dream: Actress, and hey, that’s what I’m here to try and fulfill!

That dress!





I just can't let go of that wonderful Marchesa dress that Lindsay wore to the 13th Annual Race to Erase MS, it's just so perfect! The pale pink/nude color, the on-shoulder tie and the bare back....It's love my friends, at first sigtht indeed...*sigh*

Told you so...


And, as predicted, Jess is already back to her long locks, good thing she an Ken Paves are attached to the hip so that she can change her mind whenever she feels like it...

Poor Britney!


Honestly, I'm not a fan of Britney or the choices she's made lately but when you got a girl crying from all the pressure of being a new mom with a deadbeat husband, another baby on the way AND paparazzis following you everywhere, just so every magazine in the world can trash her and her motherhood-skills, you got a big problem! Give the poor girl a break, she's only 24!

Go Sweden!


In the blessed time of my childhood, I was a huge Carola-fan like most other little girls my age. Now that I've grown up a little bit, I must say that though I don't agree with most things she says and I really don't think we would get along as people, she still IS a schlager-icon and she can still blow our mind on stage. So tonight, I hope that her voice finally works and that she can pull this off and redeem us from last year....oooh, the shame.... I think he did a good job, but that song could not be saved....

Top Chef

Now that I'm sick I spend a lot of time watching TV and one show I got hooked on is Top Chef. I like cooking, but as with all reality TV, that is not the main ingredient, but rather the huge personality clash that come up when 12 chefs with big egos have to get along. I would like Lee Anne to win, but she's definatley not the most fun person there.

I love Miguels evil eyes, as soon as he gets ANY criticism, he squints and his eyes turn perfectly black!
I love that Dave is so passionate about food, but it gets a little over the top! Whenever he presents a dish to the judges, she studders and shakes and if he doewsn't win a challenge, he cries...
Harold is just your typical silent artist type, he "creates" food.
And don't even get me starting on Stephen, he's the most arrogant, selfish, I-can-win-this-competition-without-even-trying, annoying, spoiled little brat! He's hardly ever in the kitchen, thinks he's above all the rules and my god, does he ever just shut the f*ck up??? It takes him 20 mins to explain his food! There's no way, he could win!

"I'm not your bitch, bitch" Dave to Tiffany, in an attempt to break out of the role as Tiffanys bitch, it didn't work, he's so whipped.

La Lohan in love?


Well well well, would ya look at that! Is Lindsay Lohan and James Burke a couple now? He used to date Kate Moss adn since she and Lohan seem to be the best of freinds now, maybe they share everything :)

To buy or not to buy?


Ok, I admit it, I've fallen in love with Fendis B bag! The question is...to buy or not to buy? Right now this bag is so hot it's burning the hands of the most famous and richest people out there, but will it be hot the next season as well? Is this the new It bag? I need your advice on this, should I invest?

You got us Jess!

Ok, I'm hoping this is true: apparently this insider got a quote from Jess saying "It's a wig!" It's from her own line of hairpieces (???). Well, after getting so much shit about not wearing her own line of jeans, I guess she thought she oughta wear something with hear name on, but did she have to pick THAT?! Her stylists should be fired....

Dude...


And what's up with her boob? Dude, is that normal? I thought she had the breastlift to prevent that...

No Jess!


What the...? Why is it that celebs always do that color when they decide to not be blond anymore? Don't they see that it doesn't flatter anybody? I mean, she looks about 35....

Aaaand...CUT!

Yes, I did it, I cropped it off and it looks great! I'm sooo happy I did it! Goodbye boring, hello Marilyn :)

Finally haricut!

Yes, I'm not even kidding and unless something completely unexpected happens (like last time), tonight I will have either shorter hair or at least shinier with trimmed ends, not too bad either way :)

Celebrity challenge!



I've been challenged by Matilda to write about my favourite celebrity :)
My all time favourite has got to be Marilyn Monroe, besides being a fantastic actress and a classic beauty, she has that mystical aura around her that seduces people and I think the world will remember her forever. Obviously, her life was far from perfect, but she still has the power to inspire people all over the globe, I think partially because she sometime slipped out of her character as the sex symbol and became this honest girl next door.

If I had to choose somone that's alive and happening today, it would have to be Mischa Barton, not very original but she has worked her way up in the business since she was 8 yrs old and I really admire her for that. After meeting her, I find myself liking her even more for being so natural and nice to somebody she doesn't even know or have to "deal with", she could have just walked away but she stayed and talked. Then that she dresses really nice is just another plus in my book :)

I challenge Ida, Sarah, Emma, Cicci, Anna och Engla!

Almost forgot...

All the graduation dresses were amazing! So cute and Caitlin (Marissas little sister) had really high wedge heels on and she walked kinda funny in them, good to see stars aren't always perfect off screen :)

The stars


Of course I couldn't just leave without chatting with som of the actors, Mischa is hands down the coolest, she was so nice and relaxed. Kelly Rowan who plays Seths mom Kirsten and Melinda Clarke who plays Julie Cooper-Nichol walked around in the cutest pink robes all day (when they weren't filming of course), altough it was 25 C! Adam and Rachel were hugging and kissing between scenes *aaaaww* and looked so cute together! Ben seemed annoyed with all the girls trying to grab him where ever they could (hey, I'd be pissed too!) so I decided not to bother him, I mean they're people too. I took a lot of pictures but most of them got messed up (I'm not a GREAT photographer....) but here's one of me and Mischa at least! Oh yeah, I guess it's the first pic of me on this blog too :)

O.C, here I come!

Finally I get a chance to sit down and write about yesterday! I spent the entire day on the set of O.C!!! They were shooting the last episode of season 3 where the whole group graduates from Harbour school (no, I won't reveal any more than that).

It was so greast to be on a set again, suddenly I remembered how much I miss the atmosphere, even if it's a lot of waiting and retakes, it is so wonderful to just...be there.
Well, anyway, I already knew that there was no chance for me to be an extra on the show yesterday, since they already planned in advance how many they would need to play students, parents etc. But I decided to take it one step further, so I sneaked in behind the securityguards back while the guy who plays Summers dad looked at me and seemed amused that I got away with it :) I went straight past all the actors chairs (yes, of course they each had a nice little chair with their name on it) and up to David Calloway, the producer and Lisa Cochran-Neilan, the co-producer and asked if there was any chance to be on the show (yes, I knew it was full, but it doesn't hurt to ask), and for some reason, David looked really happy to see me, both him and Lisa said that it'd be great to have me on the show (huh???) and that I should go talk to the casting-agent so that she could give me the info I needed. She told me everything I needed to know and when I walked out, David said "Have a nice day and I'll see you in season 4" (soo freakin' awsome!), then I walked past the guard who looked mighty confused but didn't say anything :)

So who knows? Maybe you'll see me amongst the kids of Newport next season!

Unbelievable!

You won't believe where I'm going today, but I bet you'd all like to come with me ;)
