Polyvore

Polyvore. Most girls who love to match clothes and accessories know it. There are specific reasons why I've been obsessed with Polyvore for a period. I could not find the time for it here the last couple of months, but since I don't have so much to do at the moment, it might be fun to try it again.
Everyone remembers paper dolls. It was fun. Polyvore is like a digital, better version of it. With real clothes that you can buy. And second, I love shopping. I haven't always been so crazy about online shopping. But now I have my own little virtual dressing room to match clothes and accessories without I feel that I have to buy it.

The picture below is the set that I have made, which is my own favorite. Maybe you can find one of my sets, which you think is better? Take a look at my profile http://sophieemwah.polyvore.com/

The Notebook

The Notebook, written by Nicholas Sparks, is a classic story of love against class.

I think that the plot and writing style, both are incredibly well thought out and realistic. The Notebook presents a realistic view of love and relationships, and not just assures that everything always works perfectly in love. Love is suppose to last forever, and there are ups and downs in a relationship. Although Allie chooses Noah, ultimately, the choice is not easy. Have Allie made ​​the right choice by choosing love over class / wealth? Do you have to sacrifice "true love" of financial security? Or should you risk financial security for someone you really love? Of course it wouldn't be so complicated if we weren't forced to choose if the person you loved also was wealthy, or at least financially stable. But it is not always in real life.

This book, and the slow pace of the novel, shows the doubts and concerns that are realistic in this situation. Nevertheless, it is an incredible novel, and I would highly recommend it to others.

The Janoskians - A night to remember

A little over a month ago, one of my biggest dreams came true. I was one of the lucky girls who were supposed to meet The Janoskians. Ever since, I for one and a half years ago saw their first video, I have been completely in love with the five boys’ completely different personalities. I have fallen in love with their bad humor and all the sick things they have made. There has been some talk on the last video that they have made and they were forced to remove the video from Youtube. I can certainly understand that some people have felt disgusted and offended by the boys' behavior and the things they're doing in the video, but I have fortunately a sick sense of humor, so I just found it hilarious.

They were, as I said in Denmark, and my friend and I had Meet & Greet tickets. Many of the girls, who were out in front of Vega when we came, had been there for several hours to get a glimpse of the boys and better seats when the doors opened. We quickly started chatting with the girls who stood around us. I must say I have never met anyone at a concert/show who were so friendly before. There was no hint of hate, when we talked about our tickets and that we would be meeting the boys. We were let in 2 hours before the others and my friend and I stood as some of the first in the queue, waiting to see them in real life and not just behind a computer screen, for the first time. I well remember the squeals that came when the boys came into the room and looked even better in reality than they did on pictures, which I thought wasn’t possible.

I have never been so nervous as we stood at the front of the queue and there was only one guard that separated us and the boys along. He went to the side, and I immediately got eye contact with Beau. I rushed over to hug him. While I was embracing him, he says: "Hey beautiful" and at that moment, it felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. I went over to Daniel and Luke, who also hugged me and both called me "sweetie". I went over to Jai and hugged him a little longer than the others. I think I’ve always deep down been a "Jai girl". Therefore, it made everything better when he called me "angel". Finally, I hugged James, who was the only one who had the same height as me, and he called me "cutie". We posed for our picture and I stood between Beau and Jai. I don’t think I've ever been so happy in my entire life before. I was shaking so much that I couldn’t help but make a very tense smile. After the flash went off, I turned to Jai, who had stood with his arm around me all the time and still did, and asked, "Can I have a picture with you on my phone?". He nodded and said: "Yes, of course." I took a quick picture before the guard said that it was time to go again. I went over to Luke and Beau, and said, "Aw, grouphug" and I stood now, with Beau on my left and Luke on my right, in a very long hug before we were asked to go. My friend and I were overjoyed when we came out.

The show itself was fantastic. Hollywood Ending warmed up and they did it all extremely well. I had not listened to as much of their music before, and to be honest, I didn’t know their names. Not many days after the show, I had listened to all their songs / covers at least a million times. Daniel and James were the first of the boys who came onto the stage. They were "playing" DJs and really got the crowd going, before Jai, Beau and Luke also came on the stage. It was clear to see that they loved standing there and just have a great night. They took fans on stage, had a lot of fun and gave us the best night ever. They defiantly didn’t disappoint me.

Jai, Luke, James, Daniel and Beau, I love you with all my heart.

Oops, not the best picture of me !

Lana Del Rey

I was fortunate to be a part of a Lana Del Rey concert in a packed Tap1 on the Carlsberg in Copenhagen.

Even before she went on stage, I was overwhelmed by the surroundings and the effects. There were lion statues, tall candle holders, stuffed birds and palm trees as a background. The amazing scene decoration made it feel like you were instrumental in a Tim Burton movie. Lana Del Rey opened with "Cola" from the "Paradise" version of "Born to Die", and already with her entry, she captivated the audience. The hall was filled with screams as she from the start was quite close to the front row and handed out high fives to those who had been waiting for several hours. There have been a lot of stories lately, so I had a belly full of expectations. I got exactly the mysterious Lana Del Rey, as many probably expected. Not to figure out. Fake or not - one thing was certain already from the first track: the voice was as it should. The stunning, evocative and melancholy voice, familiar from her stunning debut album. It was clear, that the audience were satisfied during the final tracks, including 'Video Games', 'National Anthem', 'Summertime Sadness' and one of my favorite Lana Del Rey tracks 'Ride'. The songs made ​​people turn on their lighters and it got mixed with the glow of flickering mobile cameras that tried to capture every single second of the concert.

I'm definitely not wiser to Lana Del Rey after a nearly one and a half hour long concert. She is still as mysterious and difficult to grasp as both as artist and person. But the real pop stars are well in fact made ​​out of myths. Who really ever learned Michael Jackson absolutely right to know?

La Glace & La Petanque

I was in Copenhagen with the rest of my French class last Wednesday. We were put in a group and then we got some different tasks we had to solve. My group and I had been asked to visit La Glace and the French Institute. We started at La Glace. I personally have never been to La Glace before, as there is always crowded with people. As soon as I entered the door, I was overwhelmed by the story of the 143 years old patisserie. Most of the beautiful patisserie still bloomed with the amazing old decorating. I could easily imagine the time they sat in big beautiful dresses and ate cake and drank coffee in the afternoon, chatting about the latest gossip. We asked one of the employees a few questions and then we had been allowed to buy some of the delicious pastry. I got two French macaroons, one with chocolate and one with lemon. I don’t normally enjoy cakes or pastry with lemon, but this was amazing. I can’t even describe with words, how good they were. It was like a bomb of lemon and chocolate exploding in my mouth. They were a bit expensive, but after I had the first bite, I didn’t regret spending a bit more money on them.

The French Institute wasn’t that exciting. So, I’m just going to skip that. We met the other groups and walked to La Petanque, which was a small restaurant where we would eat our lunch. As I walked down the small flight of stairs and opened the door, it felt like I suddenly stood inside a small restaurant in France. Behind the bar was a lot of spices and other exciting things. I just wanted to look at each individual can, bottle and small tub there were. It properly sounds a bit strange to you, but I guess I’m bit strange. We had to order on French and too be honest, I was a bit scared to mess up or say something stupid, but I didn’t and it went quite okay. The food was okay, not really a big deal. I ordered a pancake with egg, spinach and bacon. I think I got my hopes to high on this. But hey, I just went to La Glace, so of course I expected something unique.

Overall, it was a really good day and I learned a bit of French, which was the main goal of the whole trip.

Blog or diary?

Before blogs, there were personal diaries. You bought a blank book and a pen, and then you began to write. If you were like most people, you would stare at the first page for hours and think about what exactly it was you wanted to write. It had to be brilliant. It should be exciting, witty and wise. It should be insightful and beautifully written. Otherwise, it didn't matter what you wrote on the remaining 200 pages. This first page was your introduction, your hello to the world.

One of these two things probably happened: Either you never wrote the first sentence at all, and the diary remained empty until you finally gave it to one of your eight year old nieces. Or else, you wrote the first sentence, maybe even a page or two. Then you read what you had written, decided it was silly or just not good enough. And you saved your diary in a drawer somewhere, so no one would see how inadequate you were.

Hello world!

A very good headline for my first post. So this is going to be my first post and to be honest, I'm a bit lost, as I am brand new to the big blogger world. I have for some time considered whether I should start blogging, but have been unsure if I really should do it, but here we go. It took me forever to figure out how I was going to start and I must admit that it is not easy to find out, but I think I've mastered the basics now. I am looking forward to messing around with it all and see all the other amazing blogs here, so I can get some inspiration to move forward. My blog will probably to include a little bit about my life, the things I like, shopping, clothes, shoes, bags, makeup and my Youtube channel. But I think I'm going to do it in my own way and then we will see where this is going. I look much forward to get started!
