BEST OF TUMBLR [THIRTEEN]
Before I run off to dinner with my mom, dad and boyfriend, I thought I’s just throw in a little random BEST OF first. Will probably update later on ^_^
LOOKING BACK AND FORWARD
I have been in Stockholm for about four months, and it’s not until now I’ve felt comfortable being back and settled. There are so many aspects of living in Korea I have been missing – the spontaneity, the accessibility of everything fun and delicious, the language, the people, my friends. ...
THE ORIGINAL DBSK
Today is one of those strangely unplanned days in my crowded calendar. And since we had a special type of activity at work that happened to end even earlier than planned, I have the whole afternoon free. Well “free” should be in quotation marks because I will probably come up ...
BEST OF TUMBLR [TWELVE]
Time for a new “Best of Tumblr.” Altough there isn’t really much unity between these images, and they might not really be the best of tumblr either, but they were the ones that got my attention this week. I know I say this quite often, but I have a new ...
DRAMAS AND BLOGGING
It’s so hard to be a good blogger when there just isn’t enough time. Even at times you have loads of interesting things to write, or just generally need to get something out of your system; the lack of time makes blogging an almost stressful activity. Back in the good-old ...
PACKING FOR KOREA
As I know many exchange students are going to Korea this month, and struggling with what to bring, I thought I would write a post on that topic. First of all, let’s list some of the necessities that you might take for granted and need during your first week, but ...
MIDDLE OF HALLYU
This week has been busy in all kinds of ways. Work is going well and it’s really exciting. Yesterday we had a meeting with people representing the companies we work with at the Sustainable Fashion Academy (such as H&M, Fjällräven, Filippa K etc.). It was so inspiring to listen to ...
BEST OF TUMBLR [ELEVEN]
Big Bang’s sense of fashion (or rather, their stylist’s sense of fashion) is just so awesome. I can sit and play their last three music videos (Bad Boy, Monster and Fantastic Baby) on repeat just for their outfits. While on the topic, and since this Tumblr post is on G ...
DREAMS AND WORK
It’s the third time today I see this picture, and the quote relates directly to everything that been going on the last few weeks in my life and kind of sums up why I haven’t been so blog active lately either, so I just had to make a post. For ...
LOST LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Have you ever met someone, perhaps very briefly, with whom you have this instant connection? Something just seems to draw you together and although you don’t know why, you just get a feeling that this might be what people call love at first sight. But then, just as suddenly, they ...
COMPLETING CIRCLES
I’ve had my first week at both of my new jobs. My morning job is an internship at the Sustainable Fashion Academy (SFA). I’m not exactly sure what my role will come to be, but can sense that I will have more freedom and creative influence than I first thought ...
CAN ONLY GO UP
Today I signed the papers – its official – I have a real grown-up job. I am so excited. It’s a small company that basically helps other companies to become more environmental friendly, so that is what I will be doing as well. The boss seem so nice and let ...
BEST OF TUMBLR [TEN]
For the tenth ‘best of Tumblr’ post I thought I’d post my recent favorite pictures from Korean Model, a Tumblr blog with mostly editorial content from Korean fashion magazines. If of no other reason, it’s a nice escape from dull everyday life, to look at all those beautiful garments and ...
MODELING IN KOREA
It’s Sunday morning but it feels like half the day has passed. I woke up at 4.30 to go and shoot the last details on the music video, and I was back at home already in time for breakfast. As its edited simultaneously as we have been filming I heard ...
DO NOT GO BACK TO SLEEP
There’s a saying I’ve heard somewhere recently that I really like – “The morning has secrets to tell, do not go back to sleep.” I think it means that you shouldn’t waste every non-scheduled morning sleeping in, but use this part of the day when the brain naturally creative and ...
BEFORE YOU TURN 25
I am slowly starting to use Tumblr again, now when I’m getting back into blogging. And although it’s the dumbest way possible to educate yourself on what’s going on in the world, it’s a pretty good tool to learn about what’s trending and (if you follow blogs like The Clearly ...
FITTINGS AND WIGS
That it’s Friday doesn’t make much difference when you don’t have a job, but it’s still something in the air that makes this day feel better somehow. Tonight I was thinking of going out with Friends but realized that my dad will go back to Zurich tomorrow morning and that ...
MY FAVORITE THINGS
Things are suddenly looking up in an unexpected way. As you know, I quit my job this last Monday and am therefor unemployed and desperately broke. So a couple of days ago I was sitting here at my desk thinking of how to quickly increase my budget a bit, and ...
BEST OF TUMBLR [NINE]
Trying to get started again with my weekly posts of various sorts I thought I’d introduce you to a Tumblr blog belonging to a friend of mine, Hyoin. She is Korean but is currently living everywhere-else-but Korea; Stockholm, Helsinki, New York and anywhere between. She works as a photographer and ...
EXPORT KOREA
After an enlightening week as a nine-to-five phone sales professional, I’ve not only learnt how to turn the opinions of instinctively negative customers around – but also that repeating the same line over and over again on the phone, throughout an eight hour session, is not an ideal occupation for ...
MIDSUMMER
Yesterday it was the Midsommar Afton (Midsummer Eve) celebration here in Sweden – the day when the sun stays up all night, we all wear flowers in our hair, dance around a pole, and get ridiculously drunk. However, as I failed to make any proper plans I spent Midsummer with ...
HELLO STOCKHOLM
Exactly one week ago, almost down to the hour, I arrived in Stockholm after a 13 hour flight. Although crying my eyes out before leaving; saying good bye to these three years of fairytale living in South Korea, this last week has been just been amazing. For the first time ...
THANK YOU STARS
Hello everybody – I miss you! Thank you for the adorable comments and emails (and 500 new user subscriptions!?) since I stopped blogging – feeling genuinely appreciated is an incomparable feeling. And since I took some time to answer all of your emails today, I decided to give you a ...
GOOD BYE?
So I’ve been thinking a bit the last few days. And I think I might have come to the conclusion that I will stop writing Noona Blog… But it’s not an easy decision of course; my blog has somehow become a part of me. I’ve been doing it so long ...
