TIMELESS

2012-02-14T23:06:00.008-08:00

MOST of you probably didn't miss Valentine's day yesterday.

It might be very cheesy and very American but either way, loving is good!

My other half surprised me with this gold watches. Beautiful.

The giant balloon was from the restaurant Jensens bofhus, they obviously love me too..

ÞAÐ hefur varla farið framhjá neinum að í gær var dagur Valentínusar.

Kanski mjög súrt og amerískt en eitt er víst, það er gott að elska!

Það var því ekki amalegt að fá þetta fallega gullúr frá elskhuganum mínum.

Jensens bofhus elskar mig greinilega líka..

Hver elskar ekki giant ass blöðru?!

These shoes are most definitely not made for walking!

Thanks Din sko for all the blisters.

Randers(Denmark) keeps on surprising us, in a good way. Had a lovely Mexican meal the other day Mmm.

And we're already making friends!!

Þessir ''göngu'' skór keypti ég einhvern tímann á svaka útsölu í Din sko.

Maður hefði haldið að þeir séu drullu þægilegir en eftir 4 km labb gærdagsins eru fæturnir á mér svoldið mikið búnir að vera.

Annars er Randers(DK) að koma skemmtilega á óvart á marga vegu, fórum á snilldar mexíkanskt um daginn. Nomm.

Erum svo strax búin að eignast nýjan vin.

Life is good.

THOUGHTS

2012-02-10T02:42:00.000-08:00

AÐ BLOGGA er undarlegt fyrirbæri.. Ákvað rétt í þessu að byrja tjá mig á íslensku líka!

Ég er jú eftir allt saman íslensk stelpa, svona eiginlega.

En ég hlýt nú að vera smá lasin. Að vera með ''blogg'' sem allir geta lesið sem VILJA og deila með alheiminum allskonar persónulegu, þá sérstaklega myndir af mér og mínum.

Þar af leiðandi geta fólk myndað sínar skoðarnir um mig, jákvætt eða neikvætt og í raun

án þess að þekkja mig nokkuð!

Ég blogga fyrst og fremst vegna þess að mér finnst það skemmtilegt, ég geri það aðallega fyrir sjálfan mig og þar sem ég bý ég erlendis hafa vinir&vandamenn mjög gaman af þessu með mér.

Svo hef ég auðvitað ykkur kæru þið sem nennið að lesa, líka þið hin sem skoðið bara myndirnar.

Það má segja að þetta sé einhvers konar dagbók, mig langar jafnvel að kalla þetta tísku-dagbókin mín.

Þannig að ég mun halda ótröð áfram að vera sjálfhverf, mitt blogg um mitt líf.

Decided to start writing in Icelandic as well. Most of my readers are from Iceland anyways

so it only seems right.

Blogging is a funniest thing! To let everyone inside your life who are curious enough to read and share your personal stuff, mainly photos (of yourself).

Giving people a free pass to judge you even though they don't really know you!

Many people seems to think that bloggers are extremely self-absorbed.

Too many photos of themselves, too this-too that. Some gets very annoyed.

But still they keep on reading?!..

I blog because I like it, this is my diary, sort of.

And since I don't live in Iceland I know my friends and family love to tune in and check out what I'm up to.

It is only logical to complete this post with a photo of yours truly.

..New tattoo, my 4th one! This shit is addictive.

LONDON

2012-02-05T02:45:00.000-08:00

Gothenburg-Copenhagen-London-Copenhagen-Randers-Gothenburg

You can say that I've had a crazy week. And it just getting started..

Right now I'm at home in Gothenburg, well, not really ''at home'' anymore since we are moving to Denmark!!

More on that later, but one thing's for sure.. I'll truly miss Sweden!!

Anywho, London was lovely as always even though the trip was extremely short. I kinda needed to get away before getting down&dirty and start packing our stuff, which begins NOW actually! Baaaah

LAST NIGHT

2012-01-29T13:06:00.000-08:00

Guess what.. I'm in Copenhagen..

And tomorrow I'll be in a different city!

I sure had loads of fun this weekend, hopefully you all did.

Things are changing majorly this week.. stay tuned!!

STREETSTYLE

2012-01-26T10:04:00.000-08:00

TODAY I went store-browsing for the first time in over a month..

It was kinda weird to see all the colorful springy stuff when its so damn freezing outside.

I honestly thought that spring was right around the corner but MAN, I was wrong!

My uniform for the day was very street.. Love my H&M jeans from the kids department, most comfortable pair I own!

A super nice shirt-dress from Gina Tricot

Colorful H&M

BLEACHED

2012-01-25T02:41:00.000-08:00

I FINALLY got a haircut back in Reykjavik and I love my new improved bangs..

.. lets say next time I want to cut my hair I will leave it to the professionals!

Last March I bleached the ends of my hair and this time around I wanted to go slightly lighter.

The result was rocking cool although I thought it was perhaps just a tad too light for me!

After all I wanted to capture that beachy natural sundamage look!

The next day I did darken it just a tiny bit and now I couldn't be more pleased.

But what the heck is wrong with blogspot?? Can't seem to change my font or the size of it for a while now!!

MONDAY MISSION

What can I say? Great minds think alike.. and we are definitely thinking burgundy!!

HEY YOU!! I'm still here..

As always, Iceland was just wonderful! Too bad that I suck at blogging when I'm there. SORRY.

But I'm back in Sweden.. at least for now.

Right now I'm expecting guests so this post is gonna be lame and very short!

1.My favs!

2.Downtown Reykjavík.

ISLAND

2012-01-13T01:54:00.000-08:00

WE are in Iceland for couple of days and I'm excited about this one particularly trip.

For once.. I'm about to get a haircut for the first time in almost 2 years and I think I'm gonna go for a little change..

At least I was very pleased last time I did something different with my hair!

And also Elmar is training with the Icelandic national team at this very moment which is always a pleasure.

Not to mention that I have two 25y birthdays to attend. F*** I'm getting old!!

BTW..there's something wrong with blogspot! I can't change the font or it's size and its driving me crazy!!

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE

2012-01-10T10:13:00.000-08:00

This may sound strange for a person in their twenties but sometimes I feel like I've lived 3 different lives..

When I moved to Iceland at 8 everything changed so much it was surreal!

I was browsing thru couple of old childhood pics from Thailand and it hit me that I was a child-beauty-queen..

So weird looking back and seeing yourself as a ''little miss sunshine''!..And I remember it all too well.

I love the pic.2 of me and my nephew, talking about a fashionista in that striped outfit wearing sunnies.

The last pic is the most precious one for me. Its the only one I have of me and my dad.

He past away when I was 11 and I miss him every day.. I think I look a lot like him which I'm really thankful for!

DOUBLE

2012-01-08T07:47:00.001-08:00

I LOVE a good night out with friends and last friday we had such a fun double-date!

If you are a fan of an authentic Thai food like me(obviously) I highly recommend Moon Thai kitchen..

Hands down the best Thai food in Göteborg and the atmosphere there is just amazing.

You almost feel like you really are in Thailand.. what a perfect place to start your evening.

Then we headed to Yaki-da another favorite spot!!

And my camera made me one-eyed..

THE day before NYE me and my partner took a long wonderful walk exploring lovely Göteborg.

The weather was beautiful and mysterious..

Elmar took some amazing photos of me in that dress from Zara.. I mean he is not exactly the best photographer in the world but this time around I had to give it to him!

Happy friday y'all!!

CATSY NAILS

2012-01-04T13:39:00.000-08:00

LAST year.. gosh how weird to say this! But last year pointy catlike nails were very popular among celebs. At least the FAB ones.
I'm a huuuge fan of this feisty trend but I don't think it suits a clumsy dork like me. In fact I think I would just ending up hurting myself.
Lately my nails has been growing quite a bit and I always manage to scratch myself somehow..idiot!

2012-01-02T14:39:00.000-08:00

HERE is a little bits&pieces how I said goodbye to 2011.

I think my NYE dress was a success. The Topshop velvet bustier is definitely my favorite garment at the moment!

Such a fun night with truly lovely people.

FIRST

2012-01-01T16:06:00.000-08:00

LAST night was fantastic. So fantastic that I've been on the couch all day on this very first day of the year! Maybe not the best fresh start but at least I was with my favorite person.

Happy New Year dearest!! Lets rock 2012..

NEW YEAR's EVE

2011-12-31T08:45:00.000-08:00

I'm running out of time. So I can't write as much as I want to.
I just wanna say Happy New year and thank you for tuning in this year.
It is not that easy to compliment a complete stranger so I really thank you for leaving behind lovely words.

So I was thinking about looking kinda like this tonight. Skirt,x-mas gift from E-Zara/Velvet bustier-Topshop unique
Like it?..If you do there is a newly fixed ''Like'' button you can click on.

See you next year..

SUNSHINE

2011-12-29T08:45:00.000-08:00

I STILL haven't worn this yellow cutie from Forever 21. Perhaps not that odd since they are a bit summer-ish. But a little sunshine during the winter goes a long way!
F21 on Oxford st. was huge but I only managed to buy these when I was there about a month ago. A bit of a let down, I know!

Aren't you guys eating properly this holiday?? At least I am! I've been living in my kitchen, sweet and gross at the same time.

X-MAS

2011-12-25T05:26:00.001-08:00

Merry X-mas to you, all of you!**
Even though I'm not really much into Christmas I have to admit that this year has been extremely lovely.
Yesterday we baked and ate(all of it) delicious cookies and then had a wonderful Christmas eve dinner. But of course we do miss our friends and family back in Iceland, hopefully we'll see them very soon!

My personal Santa was very kind to me.. He gave me my dream jeans jacket that I wished for and all kind of other pretty things..

The best holiday wishes to you all.

DAY&NIGHT

2011-12-22T10:18:00.001-08:00

CHRISTMAS is almost here, shocking! Where did the time go??
Yesterday I went x-mas shopping -Very minimum this year, well, every year really since I'm not a Christmas person.
And it is so unnecessary when people go crazy during the holidays, spending quality time with your loved ones is the best gift of all!
H&M did give me a good present though, a faux fur/leather coat on 50% sale for 350,-sek- practically given.
I tried on a beautiful dress from Zara but I didn't buy cause I think it might be a present from a special someone.. ho ho.

Day// Coat&pants-H&M/ Vintage blouse.
Night// Switched the pants for a pair of Levi's shorts!

*Happy Holiday*

URBAN

2011-12-20T10:01:00.000-08:00

IT'S all about the shoes! I was lucky enough to get these lovely tan heels on sale at Urban Outfitters..
Definitely my favorite purchase from London, I adore the color and the retro look of it.
A proper killer heels.. but believe it or not, they are amazingly comfy!!

In Urban Outfitters Spitalfields(much nicer than the one on noisy Oxford st.) just a moment before I found my new favorite shoes.
And apparently I'm a big fan of the color..

LAST NIGHT

2011-12-18T13:35:00.000-08:00

Leo swimsuit-Lindex//Leather shorts-H&M//Vintage belt//Feathers-Topshop

I HAD a great ''girls night out'' last night! Just perfectly fit for a Saturday. Lots of silliness that us girls like to do from time to time. I reckon many of you did just exact same thing..

THE GIRL..

2011-12-17T10:33:00.000-08:00

YESTERDAY I FELL in love with this jeans/leather jacket from H&M's ''The girl with the dragon tattoo'' collection by Tris Summerville.
And that bright blue little number ain't to shabby either. Aaarg so many pretty pretty things!

PattraS.

PUBLIC BEWARE

2011-12-15T06:52:00.000-08:00

I'M definitely gonna visit this store again next time in London!

Lovely pretty things.. but perhaps this time around I won't by any jewelries as I might run into the same shit somewhere on Oxford st. like my Miss Selfridge ''vintage'' necklace.

Don't let me down again Public Beware!!

SILVER SNAKE

2011-12-14T05:10:00.000-08:00

BANG IT

2011-12-08T23:32:00.000-08:00

I DON't know what got into me last night but I did something a bit mad..

I've been longing for for a long blunt bang which I used to have like 3 years ago so I decided in less than a minute to cut it myself just right before bedtime!
OK its not even at all and also I did it with a rusty kitchen scissors, yep.. how about that?!
But I do like it though, a nice change at last and I haven't really regret it yet.
I kinda like the scruffy hippie look..

Stay real T's - Brashy Couture
Fringe cardigan - Topshop

TRUCK DRIVER

2011-12-08T04:57:00.000-08:00

TODAY I finally feel like myself again so its time for ''outfit of the day''!

After all it seems like a popular demand, FUN.
I was TruckDriver chic today, cut the sleeves of my very old shirt.
Wore nude shirt from Monki under.
Of course rocking the collar&choker look! Gina Tricot choker.
Pleather pants from Zara.
And my absolute favorite shoes and the moment, so incredibly comfy-Scorrett outlet

Met My friend Elin at my Espresso house, yep its mine.. cuz its just right around the corner of my street such a cozy spot!

On a different tune, many of you have asked me about my hair so here goes nothing.. Last night I put my regular TIGI conditioner in it and left it in for the night. I don't know, you probably supposed to put some proper deep conditioner in for this kind of shit but its been years since I did it so I just grabbed the next best thing. But I have to say today my hair felt little more smooth and not as frizzy. Here is a pic of it wet/damp right after I washed it. Usually it becomes more wavy/curly when it gets dry.

SICKENING

2011-12-05T13:04:00.000-08:00

WELL HELLO old friends...
How have you been lately ?? I have to say that I've seen better days!!
I've been dead sick for almost a week.. OK maybe not literally dead but barely alive! No kidding.
Since I got back home I've done nothing but lying in bed feeling like shit.
I don't know how to be sick, seriously.. I mean I've already been sick once this year and normally I get sick like once every 2 years. Maybe it was the weather in Iceland that went from mild to freezing in a sec.
And the worst part was the internet has been down until today, how awesome when you can't do nothing but stay in bed!

Today, I feel a little better apart from sounding like a leprechaun(and probably look like one too!) because my nose is full of snot, sexy I know.. And I sneeze like every 5 minutes. Annoying much?!

Anyways.. I'm loving my body chain from Gina Tricot right now! (pic1&2) It was kinda difficult to use it at first but now I wear it quite often, specially in Iceland.
Snowy Reykavik was very cozy I have to admit!
And It was so lovely dressing up and meeting all my friends for a proper x-mas dinner.. Wearing new metallic dress from New Look.

But right now feels just slightly less fabulous, I rest my case with this webcam pic..

PattraS.

SCAM

2011-11-24T07:31:00.001-08:00

WOW. Thanks for all of you who left me comments on my last post!
Love having 'em. I guess every person who blogs does even though they don't admit it.

On a whole different story.. see the necklace on the picture..?
I bought it at this cool store called Public Beware on Brick Lane(London)..I thought it was vintage.
Then the next day I was in Miss Selfridge on Oxford st. and saw the exact same necklace only it was 10 pounds cheaper.. How lame is that?!!
And I did fall in love with Public Beware, even bought another piece of clothing!

But sadly I'm probably gonna miss out on all of it cuz I'm an idiot.
17. November you'll find me in Reykjavík, Iceland where H&M does not exist FML.
And I actually do LIVE in Sweden!! Hmm..

Luckily I get to spend my time with all my loved ones that I've missed so freaking much!!
Makes me feel just a tiny bit better.

(Pic from Friday, old/new dress with braids detail from BikBok)

..ALTHOUGH just a bit tired!
But its only a state of mind, right?
Just like being sick, which I really was after all even though I refused to be.
But I guess its not that bad getting sick once every two years.
And you really know someone loves you when they hold your hair while you puke all over the bedroom floor and then clean it up for you.

Our guests mania is over for now and it is sad but relaxing at the same time.
I've already had the time to be super tired today,
tomorrow is a brand new day!

Now I'm off to a football match, my man was silly enough to get suspended for this derby match!!
But none the less.. HEJA BLÅVITT!!!!

6. A yummy fish gratin I cooked last week, good and good for you.
7. Weekend's burger joy a la Pattra, maybe not as healthy but very good indeed.

HOLA! Monday..yet again, a rainy monday morning..

I was diggin' my saturday outfit. Wore the same H&M blazer during the day/night.
Day-H&M dress worn as a shirt&short from Gina Tricot, Vintage belt
Night-Draped dress-Weekday, Body chain-Gina tricot

Instead of ''I left my heart on the dance floor'' it was more like I left my hair lock on the dance floor in my case!!
Well the only thing I can say is..Girls just wanna have fun.
Maybe just a bit too much fun!

SUNDAY LOVELY SUNDAY

2011-09-25T09:22:00.000-07:00

JUST before the weekend I wore my favorite cape from Topshop for the first time this fall.

Then suddenly the summer decided to show up again, much appreciated indeed!!

I had such a wonderful weekend..cooked great food,went to an awesome pizza party, wore my new ''leather pants'' from H&M for the first time and apparently took a lousy photo of it..
Got myself 2 new necklaces from Gina T.
AND isn't over yet..Right now I'm heading out for a fab girl's dinner out!
Who knows where that's gonna end..

MIX

2011-09-22T03:29:00.000-07:00

A RANDOM pics mix, mostly from our Copenhagen trip.

A lot on my mind these days equals bad blogging.

Nothing serious though more like exciting fun things..
As I said before, C-town was awesome as usual..
So nice meeting up with our beloved friends!

Yesterday I had a lovely lunch with the ladies at a very cozy spot.
Also, I've been doing a lot of cooking these days!
Made a delicious shrimp dish the other day, inspired by ''Kräfskriva'' that all Swedish people know and love.
Mmmm..

TRUMAN SHOW TRIP

2011-09-15T06:11:00.000-07:00

Train/Car

SOMETIMES I feel like I'm in a Truman show.

We're on a little road trip and I have to say it hasn't really gone as planned!
3 hours ago I was sitting on the train, waiting to depart..
..after waiting for an hour we were told that the train was out of function.
SO we decided to hurry back to our car and drive there instead.
But of course the motorway also has to give us some trouble.
It was closed for miles and we have been driving for hours on a country road and barely moving forward at all!

Sounds fun??..I don't think so.
Thankfully fun stuff are waiting ahead!
Next stop..Copenhagen, once again.

KNITTY

2011-09-13T02:11:00.000-07:00

EVEN though I'm not a big fan of winter I do like some part of it.
Like these delicious knitted sweaters that you can just sink yourself into.
I've been longing for a knitted silver sweater for a while now(pic.1)..
..But I've seen too many ppl wearing it lately so I'm not as crazy about it.
Also I would like to share this passion with my man but he is not that keen about the idea
We'll see...

NORGE I MITT HJÄRTA

2011-07-24T07:33:00.001-07:00

I don't know where to start.
This weekend has been extremely emotional and sad.
All my thoughts goes to Norway and all my fellow Norwegian.
We actually lived in Oslo couple of years ago, this tragedy is so surreal.
How can somebody do something so unthinkable so horrible.

I will keep on lighting my candles for all the victims.

PattraS.

TRANSPARENT

LETS GET FISHY

2011-07-11T02:47:00.000-07:00

I COOKED this yummy fish dish (plaice) sometime last week.

Summer's goal was to eat more fish and this was the first time I had some fish in my Swedish kitchen, pathetic!

But it was real good though as I made my own pesto to marinade the fish with parsley-garlic-olive oil-lime juice-koriander-spinach-spices(salt&pepper etc.)

I pan-fried the fish just a little, then I added mushrooms, fresh chili, carrots, paprika and onion to the pan.

Just before I roasted the fish in the oven I added rucola and poured the rest of the pesto on top.

VOILA..

It is never to late to start cooking/eating fish! In fact later today we're gonna grill fish in Slottskogen.

I'm off to try out some different marinade and I was thinking about making tuna salad and potato salad on the side.

Sounds good to me!!

PattraS.

COLORFUL SKY

2011-07-10T13:57:00.000-07:00

So beautiful yet so mysterious..

ENDLESS JOY

2011-07-09T07:10:00.000-07:00

I LOVE saturdays..don't you?

Strolled around town earlier today with my boo who just got a brand new haircut and looks as good as ever!

Decided to wear my swimsuit from H&M with a pair of black Gina Tricot. shorts, vintage belt, H&M sunnies and bag-Marc Jacobs.

Then I stumbled upon a flea market and found a gold-chain necklace&bracelet for 10,- sek!!

I'm pretty sure they are not real though.(pic.3)

I also bought a red/flowers kimono shirt for 40,- sek.(pic.4)

The last pic is of my Leopard Gina Tricot swimsuit that I bought the other day on sale for 49,- sek.

Nice right?..Who says you have to spend much to look good?!

Now I'm off to the kitchen, cooking for 3 today!

ROCK CITY

2011-07-07T10:27:00.000-07:00

LAST week the musiclover in me was satisfied to say the least!

Coldplay and Metallica in the same week, it must be good.

Metallica literally rock the house down..

and I lost my voice along the way.

I wore my new red neck T-shirt that I bought the same day at the Rock House, loving it!!

And the weirdest thing happened, as we were walking towards the stadium suddenly the heel of one of my shoe just came of for no reason...(So I used it to call my friend on pic 3)!

It was my old solid wedges so I was force to go home and put new boots on..

I rock the heck out of that night, pretty obvious on the last pic,

how scruffy am I ?

LAST FRIDAY

2011-07-06T05:18:00.000-07:00

HEY YOU! Forgive me for not being an active blogger lately!

But it has truly been busy days for me and my household as we had guests over for 4 days and let me tell ya...

I've never seen my apartment so shitty, ever!

They left yesterday and the cleaning progress begins and will probably end in the next couple of days.

Big yey for me!!

Pics from last friday.. so how good are girls night with good food&wine then a spontaneous night out?!

The best in my opinion.

And yeah we ended up at our regular club except for that night was a gaynight!

Trust me, we literally danced the night away.
