I'm NOT that materialistic!!!!!!!

Red lips

Actually I'm a bad example of a girl wearing red lipstick, you should use a lipliner if you decide to have a very strong colour on your lips, but I'm too cheap to go buying one. I got this lipstick from Make Up Store in colour "China red" for free from my dear friend. Going to start wearing this everyday. In that way everyday becomes a party ^_^

Shopping Day

Bought a pair o Acne Jeans for only 350kr!!!! Usually they cost around 1200 kr.

and a hp dv5000 laptop, it's really cool. Although it's for my parents, but I can use it now for some weeks, then I'm going to use it when my apple macbook is getting greyer and greyer...

What is sexier than an Asian girl with pale skin and pure black hair with RED lipstick???? I got a red lipstick today from my friend, going to show you soon!!!

I WANT I want I want

Everybody is talking about this scarf at the moment...

725USD and it's yours...( I would never be so stupid to actually spend that much money on a scarf!!!)

BUT no, I'm using my mothers redbrown scarf and it is just as beautiful...

Shit...

The last day to send in the application for being an Exchange student in Jiaotong University was 2 September!!!!!!!!!!! Shit...  But might work for a good place in SH from this January, but then I have to take a paus from university which I don't really want to. I feel so stressed, there are so many things I have on my agenda at the moment.

Today I finally got registered in Unga Aktiesparare, which is for all the young people who want to invest in stocks and bonds. Time for me to earn some BIG money now when the stock exchange has gone down so much, going to create a portfolio this weekend (any tips are appreciated)

Anyway, I think I will choose Accounting as my focus next semester, because it is so fundamental within business, you can work with everything if you're into accounting unlike finance which has smaller sectors.

Today was fun, after work some girl followed me and then touched me when i listened to my iPod and she asked where I bought my white shirt (see picture) and asked if I had bought it in Sweden. I said no...unortunately not. And she said FAN också!!! (Damn!!!) 

haha (I wore two outfits today)

less fun is today I ate 4 Mozarella sticks and fries at Burger King with the extra garlic dip and I felt absolutely DISGUSTING afterwards. the mozzarella sticks are NASTY, don't know if you can get them in shanghai. but it was seriously bad, can I sue them? 

Shanghai Tang

Tip of the day

I just got a new cellphone, a Nokia 6500 slide. My old LG got a bit ruined because it got wet...

anyway, my new phone is THE shit, I love it. Has a 3.2 mpex camera with also videocamera, it's a 3G phone which is nice...

Anyway, my tip is that if you want to pimp your phone you have to get an account at www.zedge.net, there you can choose between thousands of screensavers, background pictures, ring tones, games to your cellphone. Also you can also create your own screensaver, for an example a picture of you or something like that. 

Currently I have twin stars as my background, and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger with daft punk as my ringtone.

You have to get it!!!

think about it...

today's outfit

everything from Qipu Road, except the shoes (topshop) and bag (Louis Vuitton)

I'm addicted to these songs right now

Lady Gaga - Just Dance

Kreo - Burn For You

Should I go to Sardinia?

My friend has the house all by herself...for some days while the family she works for is out (she works as an aupair). So she tells me to come and I don't need to pay for house and food, which sounds great.

but i have to cancel work and miss classes from school. and i just started my new job...it's not very good to just say that I'm travelling so I can't come to work.

But then again, this is a once in a lifetime chance. Sardinia!!!!!!! 

Material Saturday

1, My collection of glasses, actually i have more (they are in SH and at my parents house)

2, My new LV bag, my friend's LV working out bag (NO FAKES, we don't like fakes!!!)

3, Shoes i brought with me from SH

4, Topshop shoes I borrowed from my friend to wear tonight, but I don't really feel like partying tonight so might not wear them.

My new bag!!!

My chose was between a Mulberry dark brown Bayswater or a Louis Vuitton Speedy.

The Mulberry was awesome, I was considering to buy it but then I thought, I'm young and energetic. The Louis Vuitton seems more glamourous than the Mulberry one which is, to be honest, quite dull. I can buy Mulberry when I start working. While right now as a student I fit in LV more, I can also use it on parties, etc. Also Mulberry is not very famous in China, while LV is. 

So my first designer bag is a Louis Vuitton Speedy ^^

But THIS bag will mean hard work for me. I have promised myself to be amazingly HEALTHY this fall semester, going to buy a gym card tomorrow and live there this weekend, because I really have gained some weight (as you see in the picture!!! look at my belly, can't wait to the countless sweaty spinning classes and thaiboxing classes ahead of me). Also, I bought a voice recorder in China that I'm going to use every class, and then on weekends I'm going to sit at home studying and listening to the teacher once again from my voice recorder. On weekdays I'm all busy with uni classes, shopping, eating lunch with friends, working and gym, so on the weekends it's all about STUDYING. 

I want good grades although it is not as important for me as I have shitload of working experience by now, but still. Being even more attractive on the employment market is not a bad thing! :)  Good luck to me.   Work Hard Play Hard

Today : New bag

Can't wait!!!!!!!

also the last day of the educational part of my new job.

We get higher rent at the bank as we work there!!! Going to save lots of money and live on rent ^^ 

Wear one dress in 4 ways!

Get this simple black cotton dress at American Apparell! I wear it all the time, can use it as a high waist tight skirt as well.

My new gloves

My new job

Stress

Everyday this week from 4 pm until 9pm we have education classes about bonds and structural products, stocks, etc. Because my main tasks at this new job is to sell those to our customers. 

I still wonder if I should keep my old job, I earned better at it because of commision, but this new company is better and much more wellknown. Maybe combine those together...

Hmmm, if I work 20 hours a week it means I will earn shitload of money which is a nice thought, but then again, I want a good grade in my Statistics course.

Anyway, on thursday I'm going to buy a Louis Vuitton Speedy, not the one with logo but another one with checked patterns, it's more classy than the tacky logo one that all Shanghai sluts wear.

I saved shitload of money

I went to the bank today, waited 30 minutes, took out money, went to Östermalm, Went inside the store. Someone comes up to me to tell me my fur vest is beautiful. I take a look in the store..........AND REALIZE THAT THE BAGS ARE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:'(

I guess it just wasn't meant to be

What did I buy in SH?

Here are some things I got in SH that I haven't showed you guys yet.

My tailored trenchcoat, my grey scarf, viktor & rolf shirt, my Domokun bag, my "YSL" stilettos that I plan to sell, my different glasses, and another picture proving that I'm back in the country of blondes...

Oh by the way, did anyone else think the closing ceremony of Olympics were a bit tacky?

On Tuesday I'm going to start working out regurlarly.

I'm in a good crew

Dior's response

Remember the Sharon Stone incidence? I wrote an email to Dior criticizing them for having Sharon Stone on their campaigns after the scandal.

And here's what they answered.

Diary

(OK, on monday I'm going on a diet!!! Only 3 spoons of nutella each day! I have noticed that my face is getting fuller and fuller which is not good.)

Seriously, on Östermalm (Stockholm's Nanjing Xi Road) there are some REAL bargains, not like Shanghai. I think it's easier to fool brandcrazy Chinese people. In one store I found miu miu shoes costing 500 kr ( about the same in rmb), they were 3000 kr before. My friend bought a pair of yellow ballerinas from Lanvin which costed 6000 kr before, and now they cost 500kr. That is INCREDIBLE!!! No wonder all the asians are acting crazy in those stores. I went into Louis Vuitton and there were so many people there, I could hardly walk inside. 

In Sweden, I only buy brand clothes, because it's MUCH cheaper here in Europe than in Asia. Also there are better sales, in Shanghai it's still only 40% in most of the places,I have never seen 70-75% in Plaza66, here in Sweden it is.

When I was 14 I walked for the first time on Nanjing Xi Road and saw Plaza66, I still remember how overwhelmed I was, wondering if I would ever in my life be able to buy those nice things inside, and now I can. Weird feeling huh? 

My First designer bag

I always thought I would buy a Mulberry, but nope.  I'm going to buy Chloe Heloise Beige Patent Leather Tote. 

70% off so I'm going to buy it! The bag in China cost 9500 rmb in Citiq Square even after sale which is SICK, and here in Sweden it's a much better price.

I will buy the beige one.

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suck

Remember my shopping celibacy? HAHA, well. I got the job I wanted at this Swedish bank and am SOOOO happy!!! I deserve nice things. Today meeting my friends for a chocolate cake in downtown Stockholm I saw the Chanel 2.55 my friend had bought in New York! 25oo dollars it costed. A black medium bag with gold chains. And she wears it so well because she is so petite.    Jealousy. 

But I bet that she is jealous of my fur vest, mwahahahaha!!!

Anyway, I saw this miniskirt made of black leather, it was on 75% sale. I think I will buy it.... and I need to buy a designer bag to fit my new job. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If you miss Shanghai you should read this book, My Favourite Wife by Tony Parsons

I read it in one day, and missed a couple of subway stations during reading it. I would not say the book itself is excellent, but it's enjoyable. And also a great way to find out what's really going on in this fantastic city. As girls in Shanghai we are not able to experience some things that guy experience in clubs, etc. I have some guy friends who told me stories about prostitution that is going on in clubs and I cannot believe it, but we all know it is true.

Also, there's one sentence I remember from this book and is when the wife says " it's the city, it brings out the worst of people."

And I can fully agree, Shanghai is not a good place to live after marriage.

It's Cold

I don't like it here. Plans for tonight is going out and party, but I have no energy left, and the weather outside is so gray AND cold, and it's going to get worse in september, october, november it will be snowing and in december we will have about 4 hours of daylight. Can't wait!

I better cheer up, let's see what I will wear tonight.
