Hey guys! WHATSUUUPP?!?!?! Guess what?! I’m in Japan! It’s sooooooo different to home! Gosh! I’ve been busy! Finally finding the time and the energy (heavily jet lagged) so give you an update. Anyways. As I was saying, it is literally ludacris here. And they LOVE they’re healthy foods; there’s green tea liqueur, green tea ice cream, green tea yoghurt. Damn. No wonder they’re all so skinny. Which they truly are. In the UK I’m considered skinny/normal. Here I’m VERY curvylicious! Oh well…I guess they can tell by my face that I ain’t from Asia…obviously! Anyhow. As soon as we arrived we took the train to Kyoto. Lovely “little” city in Japan. It only has 1.5 million inhabitants and yes, it is considered “little”. Which is huge to me as the capital of Norway inhabits roughly 500 000 people! But oh well! Here’s a picture spread of my couple of days…..

It’s so unique and different here. Today we visited the Hiroshima Memorial Museum & Park. Fantastic place! The Japanese are extremely accurate and efficient! I’m very impressed! Tomorrow we’re leaving Kyoto to go and stay at one of the Onsen Towns here in Japan. This is a sort of SPA place with hot springs. I’m very excited! Hope you guys are having an awesome time back at home!

Hey guys! How are you this morning? I finally have internet now so that I can update you whenever I like, as long as my boyfriend allows me to! I’m now sitting on our couch  enjoying the view of the mountains and the lake. I know I’ve said this before; but seriously guys, it’s so lovely here! Completely breathtaking! However, me and Nigel are the only ones around as tourists our age…it always happens to us. We seem to go to places where everybody are a lot older. Oh well. No matter. I think old people are darling anyway! Today I reckon we’re going to lie by the pool (at least between the hours of 12 and 3 for optimal tanning!) and then head towards Como. Should be another lovely day like all the others! Have a good one guys!

Psssttt….don’t forget the GIVEAWAY

Necklace by H&M

Hey guys! Today we’ve taken the ferry from Nesso to Menaggio and then to Bellagio. The cities here are absolutely stunning! I L.O.V.E it! I want an apartment here. NOW! Anyways. Found this necklace at H&M a couple of weeks back and I love it. I love how it is chunky and just a little bit too much! Exactly like me (except the chunky bit I hope!). Tomorrow we are going to this fantastic restaurant in Bellagio called Mistral. I have definite regrets about not packing either of my Louboutins’ now as you C.A.N.N.O.T go wrong wearing a pair of those in a posh place! Oh well! I’m sure I’ll figure something out! I hope you’re having a lovely week – holiday or not!

Psssttt….don’t forget the GIVEAWAY!

What to bring & What not to bring…

Chanel Suit, Evenings, Friends, Holiday, Packing, Photos, Work

….that is seriously the question I am asking myself again and again this evening! I am currently packing for Italy as I always take forever packing, total girly-girl thing to do, but hey, my boyfriend jeans make up for it right?! Even if it doesn’t I will justify it in that way. Anyway. Moving on. So today at work I found myself less busy than usual and I had finished all my work early so I decided to be cheeky and sneak out. (I also needed to get to the tailor’s as I am having a Chanel Suit tailored, I L.O.V.E it, will show you as soon as it’s done!) So I pack my things and manage to escape all the way to the elavators. Guess who comes out of the elevator that I am standing in front of….drumroll pleasahhhhh….my boss! O.H J.O.Y! Thankfully, he just smiled at me secretly thinking “cheeky bitch”, but oh well! It all worked well until I got to the elevator. Note to self. Next time you want to sneak out: use stairs!

…..and this is what my suitcase looks like so far. Hopefully there will be some further improvement over the weekend. At least it’s a start. Haven’t even began with the most difficult part yet: Shoes! I will potentially persuade my boyfriend to bring a bigger bag so that I can have more space. He will think I’m silly, but he already does, so, no matter! Anyways. Now I’m going to head back to watching friends. Is it sad that I literally love spending my evenings in bed, alone, with a cup of tea watching friends?! I don’t care. I enjoy it! Have a great evening guys and know that you’re not sad if you, like me, lie in bed watching friends!

Good Morning! So I thought for this look I would actually have to wear that belongs to my boyfriend, hence the shirt. On him it’s simply a shirt and on me it’s more a shirt dress! I love that though, so casual! So it’s Thursday….one more full working day to go until I have 10 days off! G.O.D that’s going to be so incredibly good! Tonight I’m going to pack everything so that I’m ready for Monday morning, I simply won’t have time this weekend as my brother and father are visiting tomorrow! I’m excited! Now I’m going to finish my porridge and head for the gym! Have a good one!
