Linn and Nellie's British Adventures

Hey there!

So, a couple of days ago me and Linn returned from London!

It was a great trip that consisted mostly of shopping and being rude in swedish to the poor brits (who couldn't understand shit) when they walked into us at the subway stations. Best part of going abroad: you can tell them to suck your dick and they won't understand a thing. 

So, let's write some about the trip, then!

Day 1 - Airplanes and KFC

So the first day of our british adventures was spent mostly in an airplane, watching AHS: Coven and taking silly pictures on my Mac. 

Beautiful.

After taking ground, we took a cab to the hotel and admired the christmas-feeling it had!

It was so pretty!

After a quick rest at the room, we then headed out to grab some KFC!

The left pic is me actually enjoying the rain (I've just missed London a lot, even the rain...) and the right pic is just us being dumb and the glorious british flag!

Day 2 - Rise of the shopping

The second day was the first "real" day, I'd say. 

After waking up Linn by playing some Backstreet Boys (which then became our jam the whole trip) we went down to the hotel breakfast and was left speechless. The breakfast was glorious! It had scrambled eggs, muffins (they we're so fluffy, but without being dry. like clouds...), croissants, applepie-things, fruit, berries, everything! Damn, I miss that breakfast...

Anyway, after stuffing our faces with food, we headed out into the big city!

Beautiful "waiting-for-the-train"-pic. 

Our first stop was the shopping centre Trocadero at Picadilly Circus, since there lies a store called Tokyo Toys where they sell various anime things, some japanese fashion items, and circle lenses!

We both got a pair of circle lenses each, some cute tights, and I also got myself a titan mask (which I then became attached to my body, I swear)!

Then we went to Oxford Street and visited a few shops, and also spent a lot of time at Primark! Damn, do I love Primark.

I got a hat with cat ears, an ugly christmas sweater (that jingles!), a jeans dress and two knickers!

We also went to Claire's, where I got three ribbons for my hair!

The results of my shopping spree!

We also had lunch at Starbucks, where our inner Blue Mountain State freaks came out and we tried to get them to write "Thad Castle" and "Alex Moran" on our cups. The result was... varied.

Yeah...

I tried wearing buns with my wig that day, but after a while I took the buns out since they began falling apart... 

I liked wearing buns, and I probably will wear it again!

And outfit:

Bonus titan-pic...

Day 2 - Shopping: The sequel

First we headed out to Camden Town, and after looking through most of it we went to Picadilly Circus again.

At Camden we both got ourself matching pairs of white stay-ups, garterbelts and fancy cigarette cases!

When we got to Picadilly again, we went to Tokyo Toys once more where I got another pair of cute tights that I'd been contemplating the day before and also bought a set of japanese candy! Yum!

However, before we got to Picadilly we accidentally stumbled into China Town!

And man, China Town was great!

We found some really great stores which sold rilakkuma stuff, Dolly Wink, Diamond Lash, Palty, etc! We also visited a shop that had a purikura! Of course we took some pics!

I really like these pictures ;3;;

We also got matching Rilakkuma lighters, and I bought three packages of false lashes (one from toyoepin, one from Dolly Wink, and one from Diamond Lash). However, one of the packages managed to fall out of my bag later that day... That was a bummer for sure...

Sightseeing; titan style~

And, well, my look for the day starring my new cat-hat;

That night we had dinner at a indian restaurant, and it was delicious! 

Day 3 - Going Home

We had to get up very early for our flight, so both of us were very tired... We spent the flight watching Perks of Being a Wallflower and sleeping...

When we got home I didn't have much time to rest before I had to head over to rehearsal with DAiZiES. Man, I almost fell asleep on the floor...

But, all in all, it was a great trip and I am very satisfied with it!

I'll try to make another update tomorrow, but until then;

Goodnight!

(If you think I will proof-read this you are wrong)

Gotland + Värnamo

Hey babes!

It's been a while, and I've been up to a lot so I've got some blogging to do!

This post will be about the trip to Gotland and Värnamo I did with Linn!

So me and Linn took the boat to the swedish island Gotland, where we stayed for three nights in the city Visby.

We had a great time investigating Visby, shopping, and watching American Horror Story: Asylym

 We also befriended stone sheeps

Bought this dress at a store in Visby!

After our time in Visby we took the boat back to the mainland to the city Värnamo!

The city itself wasn't very exciting, and we mostly watched Blue Mountain State at our hotel room...

However, we did go to the theme park "The World of Astrid Lindgren", which was a lot of fun!

The park consisted of small replicas of settings from different Astrid Lindgren stories like Pippi Longstocking, Brothers Lionheart, Ronja the Robber's Daughter, etc!

 My favourite parts of the park was a part called "The Little Land" where all the houses were really tiny (so I could pretend to be a titan), and the Brothers Lionheart part!

I'm actually a huge sucker for the Brothers Lionheart. I love that movie so much.

And then we went back home to Stockholm, and shortly after I went to the swedish convention NärCon! I'll write about NärCon eventually, but it'll have to wait for now!

Goodnight!

Nellie's French Adventures

So as I mentioned in my last post, I went to Paris with my mother over the weekend!

It was all lovely, and we did an awful lot of shopping *byebye money*

I also ate crème brulè every fucking day and it was fan-fucking-tastic.

Thursday - First day in Paris

On Thursday we got up super early (04:45 in the morning to be more precise) and went to the airport. After buying a big cup of coffee we settled onto the plane and three hours later we landed in Paris!

First impression? Cold as fuck and windy as hell. But you know, that's cool. 'Cause it's Paris and stuff.

The first thing we did after checking in at the hotel was going to the Disney store. Both me and my mom was so excited hahah! 

We then went to Abercrombie & Fitch, mostly because my mom wanted to but I did find a cute pair of shorts there! uvu I felt horrible in there tho :( The music was so loud, it reeked of perfume, people everywhere and almost no light at all. In the end, I got so upset by the surroundings that I went around and stepped on peoples heels by purpose. Oops.

First two shopping bags

After that we took a walk into another part of town and  did some more shopping! We also stopped two times to drink some coffee (or kir royal in my ma's case) uvu

The cappuccinos in Paris was way more fancy than here in Sweden!

Friday - Second day in Paris
This day we took the metro (truly an adventure, i must say) into a part of Paris called Bastille, where the Angelic Pretty shop is situated! I was so excited. Sadly, I came to be slightly disappointed since all of the dresses and clothing were like double the price on AP's website... But I bought a bag and Twin Etoile stockings and headbow atleast! I just couldn't stand leaving the shop empty-handed, you know?

The bag I bought
Anyway, we then went back to the part of Paris were we stayed and continue our shopping spree at Lafayette, which is a very, very, very large warehouse full of expensive clothes (i didn'yt have to money to buy a single thing in there..)
I also managed to get lost in there. In that huge place. Away from my Ma. yikes. :( felt like I was like 6 years old all over again hahah


Later that evening we went out to dinner at a fancy french restaurant with a french friend of my mother's!

Me and my Ma ♥

Saturday - Third day in Paris

This day we felt the need to do something cultural, and thus we went to the castle of Versailles!
It was sooooo beautiful! And I got a sudden urge to decorate my future apartment sort of like the interior of the castle Versailles hahah ♥
The front gate

They had lots of statues in there, and of course I posed with some of them... I mean, the meaning of life is posing with statues right? Right..?

Me and my homies yo

I felt quite fancy that day.


That day I also finished reading my book, LIGHT, and oh goodness how I cried. I'll make a separate post about LIGHT later when I've recovered emotionally....

Sunday - Going home

Sunday we just went to the airport and went home. And I ate some delicious motherfucking waffle-cakes with chocolate and I think I died and came to heaven. Wow.

I would've blogged about this yesterday when I got home, but I was simply too tired...
So I did it today instead!
G'night ♥

NärCon Winter - Home Again!

heyheyhey! 

i'm back from NärCon, and i'm so tired i could pass out any second. didn't get much sleep when sharing a hotel room and a queen-sized bed with Jonte and Bel.... waaaaaaayyy too much to talk about!

so! about the con!

it was really fun, and really cold! we met some very nice people and got much compliments for our cosplays, which was really nice!

First Day - Friday

Me and Bel took a train to Linköping at 10:29 in the morning, and arrived somewhere between 12:00-13:00! We then found the hotel, got our rooms (which we immediately managed to make extremely messy) and I put on the rest of my cosplay before we went to the con! We had to wait in line for almost two hours i think, and it was really cold!!
Shortly after we got in at the con, Laura, Mimmi and Jonte arrived!

I cosplayed E. Aster Bunnymund (aka the Easter bunny) from Rise of the Guardians the first day, and Bel cosplayed Jack Frost with me. The others didn't cosplay.

This is the only picture I have of that cosplay right now, but Laura took some great pictures so I'll upload some better looking ones when she shares the photos!

Day Two - Saturday

After talking with my roommates Bel and Jonte until like 02:00 AM it was rough getting up at 07:00, but we made it!! And had a lovely breakfast consisting mostly of cake. It was marvelous.

I cosplayed Austria/Roderich Edelstein from Hetalia the second day with Bel as Prussia/Gilbert Beilschmidt, and Jonte cosplayed Kanaya Maryam from Homestuck. Laura and Mimmi didn't cosplay.

Truly sorry for my lack of decent photos....... Tho, as said, I know for sure that Laura took some great photos! So have patience~

And here we have Jonte getting ready, and also a small part of our extremely messy bathroom!

Me and Bel befriended some really great and nice Hetalia cosplayers, and also attended a meet-up before changing into our Homestuck cosplays!

I cosplayed Sollux, and Bel cosplayed Aradia! Still, no other pics......

And after we returned to the hotel me, Bel and Jonte stayed up talking until like???? 04:00 AM??? It was lovely.

Here, have a video of Bel as Aradia walking funnily and also my stupid laugh.

underbart asså

Day Three - Sunday

Rise of the last day. Which also is today.

Naturally, after staying up for so long after not getting much sleep the night before either, we managed to oversleep. So instead of getting up at 07:00 AM and then giving Laura and Mimmi a phonecall to wake 'em up; we slept until about 08:40. Yeah. Good job. A+

So we hurried down to the breakfast buffé and ate pancakes and cakes and drank juice of of shot glasses. What a balenced breakfast.

We then hurried to change into our clothes, Bel were the only one to cosplay today and she went as Jack Frost again.

 

I wore some of the new things I bought at the convention (a cat ears diadem, a lolita blouse, pink fishnets, pink and white metamorphose stockings, and a new necklace and ring), as shown in the left pic! In the right pic we have a very tired Bel as Jack Frost. We were all very tired.... And sick.......

So after chatting a bit with some friends and walking a final round at the con, we went to Espresso House to kill some time before mine, Bel's and Jonte's train would depart.

The Train Ride

We were quite exhausted, but we managed to keep up for a while before Jonte went to sleep.

 

Ssssssshhhhh, he's asleep......

  

 Bel tried to get some sleep too, but didn't succeed... I actually fell asleep for a short while!

And now I'm home! Super tired, ready to pass out... But nope, I have to unpack my things and then pack my bag again since I'm leaving for Dubai tomorrow. So I'll do that, and then get some sleep!

If you read this way-too-long-post, I like you!! You're my new favourite.

Goodnight!
