Copenhagen

I just realised that I never wrote about our night in Copenhagen! We started at Ellinor's place in Lund, with some pre-drinks and music, then we walked to the train station and took a train to Copenhagen. There we went to a club called Penthouse. The music they played there was good, and we danced pretty much all night. When we left, at 4.30-4.45 we were exhausted (except Fredrik, who kept saying "Afterparty? Did anyone say afterparty?" the whole train ride).

It was definetly a fun night! Although it took me 3h and 30 min to get home. The buses don't go very often where I live, so I first had to wait 1h and 30 min in Lund and then I had to wait for a second bus for 30 min.

Different Pulses

Tonight, it's party time! Fredrik, André, Ellinor and I are going clubbing in Copenhagen. But before that, we are having some pre-drinks at Ellinor's place in Lund :) I'm counting on a lot of dancing tonight!

An now, some more great music from the same singer I posted about the other day - Asaf Avidan:

One day we'll be old

A beautiful song by Asaf Avidan. He has an amazing voice!

Malmö with Ellinor

Today, I met up with Ellinor in Malmö. We went to Wayne's Coffee and had lunch, then after sitting there talking for a couple of hours, we went to the park to feed the ducks. Later we met Ellinor's friend Sophie and the three of us had dinner at Jensen's Böfhus.

Sweden!

Yesterday, I went to Sweden to spend two weeks at home with my family. It's really nice to be home, though  I already miss London and the people there. The first thing I saw here is the snow. Everything is white. And as soon as I stepped through the door, I was attacked by our dog Zigge, who's grown to over twice the size he was the last time I saw him! And he has so much energy, he never stops trying to get your attention!

Today, I met Fredrik,and we went to Emporia, the new shopping centre in Malmö. The place was huge. We walked around for a bit, looked at the view from the roof (which was basically just a view over the parking lot), then we ate, walked around some more, and then we went home and watched a movie.

The fashion show

So Terés and I went to my school's fashion show yesterday evening. It was so much fun to see my garments on the runway, and I loved seeing what everyone else had made! I'm really proud of what I made :) I took loads of pictures, of course, and here are some of the ones I took of my garments:

Terés also enjoyed the show :)

Unfortunately I didn't manage to take any pictures of the third dress, wich I made together with Reena :/

Fashion Portfolio - final project

I've spent most of today finishing my final project for my fashion portfolio class. It's six drawings, using pictures from a fashion spread. Here are my drawings:

Final garment

My final garment is now completely finished! What I did in class today was to hand sew the neck line and attach a strap on the inside to keep the arms in place.

 

I've had a lot of school work to do this weekend. I sat all day yesterday to write three different essays. I had a lot of work for today,since not only did the garment have to be finished, but I also had a big final presentation, with two essays for Customer targeting. I had so much to bring to school, that I had to put it in a suitcase. Everyone asked me if I was going somewhere or if I had been travelling. But no, I just have a lot of school work. But luckily, next week is the last of this term, so then I will be able to relax!

Wednesday's class

I haven't had time to write here in the blog the last couple of days because Ellinor arrived in London on Wednesday, and I've also had some school work to take care of.

In class on Wednesday, we practised drawing faces and hats, so we all had to pose for the others wearing a hat. Here is one of the drawings I made:

(I used oil pastels for this one)

After class, I had some time before Ellinor arrived, so I stayed and finished my final garment! (For some reason I can't upload a picture of it right now, so I will have to show you another time.)

final garment (not finished)

So I just thought I'd show you what I'm working on in creative drape at the moment:

As I've mentioned before, the theme of this term is sustainability, so what I've done is that I've taken apart some old sweaters and then sewn them together to a whole piece. It's obviously not ready yet. What I'll do next is to add sleeves, and then I just have the finishings left. So far I'm quite happy with it :)

Catching up

I met my sweet friend Terés today! It's been a while since we hung out, just the two of us, so it was nice to get together and talk, drink coffee and walk around.

 

Now, I am going to try getting some homework done before Tobias comes. Then we are going to watch The walking dead. Let's see if those series are as good as people are saying :)

Random!

Okay, I laughed so hard when I saw this video!

Leather jacket

Hello there! In class today, we were experimenting with textures and patterns of garments, using different media such as water colour, charcoal, pastels, markers etc. I'm not gonna show you all I did in class today, because I wasn't entirely happy with everything I drew. Velvet for example was very hard to draw. However, I was quite happy with my drawing of a leather jacket:

To get the right texture, I used a black marker and oil pastels.

Fredrik's visit in London

My dear friend Fredrik came to visit this wednesday, and he stayed until yesterday. It's been so nice having him here! On wednesday evening, Tobias and I met him at the station and we then went and met up with Terés at a pub. On thursday, Fredrik and I went to see some of the big monuments, then we had dinner at Byron and later he, I and his friend Casper went to the bar where Tobias work and we had some drinks there.

On friday morning, Fredrik, Tobias and I had some late english breakfast at a café in Camden. Apparently, others thought we were having a late breakfast as well, because a group of people walked by, pointed at us and said "Look, they're having breakfast!" then walked away laughing! Friday evening we went to Proud in Camden, and on saturday evening we went to the Monarch for the soundtrack night.

I see you!

As a part of my Targeting Customers class, I have to look at a luxury brand, go to their store and do a survey, so today I went to the Marc Jacobs store here in London to have a look at their window display and to see how many people walked into the store etc.

The window display was pretty cool actually. It had this huge creepy eye ball that even blinked!

The sadness

My parents and my uncle and aunt have been visiting me this weekend, and it was with a heavy heart that I walked with them to the tube to say goodbye. But it's been a really good weekend! They came early on friday and we spent the day shopping. Then my cousin Kevin came and joined us for dinner, and then we ended the day early because they were very tired from the journey. On saturday, My dad and my uncle went to see a football game, so my mum, my aunt and I went to see the musical "Wicked"! If anyone wants to go and see a musical in London, I really recommend this one. It was amazing! The singers and actors were just spot on!

Today, they came to my place and then I took them to Hampstead heath to see the view. After that, we went to Camden to have a look at the market.

I miss them already!
