and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth i could be, thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet.

Pictures from summer, part 1. All of these are from Italy and they were taken at the beach (obviously, haha). Will be posting more pictures in a few days of the city and la familia :)

whoever said money can't buy happiness clearly didn't know where to shop.

Okay, so I don't really believe in that quote, but sometimes shopping can make me so damn happy! Now that I actually put thought into every outfit I wear and every item I purchase, it is much more fun to shop (and much more expensive..). Last year I had one jacket and one pair of shoes for each season because I simply didn't care much at all, but know I can't even imagine going out in jeans and just some random t-shirt. Fashion is so much fun! It's like I'm discovering a whole new world, haha. So now that I actually do put thoughts behind my outfits, I think I might start showing you some of the stuff I buy and what I wear during the weeks so I guess that this is now a fashion, photography and inspirational blog :)

Okay, so back to fashion! Lately I've been having a thing for nail polish and jewelry. I've always liked nail polish because it can do so much for you, a bright and matching color on your nails can really lift a whole outfit (especially if you wear much black). My favorite colors this fall are red, second to black and some kind of bronzy/metallic color which I need to buy asap!

My second obsession this fall is jewelry. I'm not a jewelry girl at all and I've never been one to wear rings, necklaces and bracelets. But lately I've been loving all these long necklaces with owls, keys, crosses and triangles. Definitely going out for some necklace shopping soon!

Last but not least... studs! I freakin' LOVE studs, both on shoes and clothes. Shit, it looks so fucking good. I'm currently looking for a pair of studded boots to wear this fall/winter and I will definitely be updating my wardrobe with lots of studded shirts and sweaters as well. LOVE.

 Ash boots that costs around €300 so I will have to look for look-alikes instead.

we are the kids with the hungry hearts, and they could never keep us apart.

 Me, myself and I.

So it's really hard and awkward to have a photo shoot with yourself, and I don't really have the time to edit the pictures tonight so this is all you get from today's little photo session. I think I'll ask a couple of friends if they want to "model" for me, that way it'll be easier for me to take good pictures and it'll be fun with photos of someone other than me. Because trust me, I don't like being in front of the camera.

I was thinking that maybe I could post a few pictures from summer since I haven't posted anything at all, but I have a million pics and I need to go through them first so I'll probably post some this weekend :)

Ciao!

the best accessory a girl can wear is confidence.

I truly believe that no matter how you look - short, tall, thin, fat, blonde, brunette - all you need is confidence. You gotta learn to like yourself before other people can like you. So make sure that the first thing you put on in the morning is your smile. Positivity and confidence is the key.

Every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway. 

So always dress your best and walk with confidence.

delicious to the maximum, chew him up like bubblegum.

Hello to whoever is still reading my extremely boring and failed blog! When I started this thing I really thought I would be updating every other day with a lot of pictures but that obviously wasn't case. Still, here I am with yet another entry. I like blogging, it's just that I write a lot of entries and save them as drafts but then I end up forgetting about them and then it's too late to post them so I just delete them.

I am very busy with school and other stuff at the moment but I'm gonna try and take the time to post an entry at least once a week. I love fashion and inspirational stuff (like quotes and pictures) so that's mainly what I will blog about. Of course there will be some stuff from my own life as well, but the majority of all entries will not be about what I've done during the day. If you feel like that's something for you, you're more then welcome to stick around :)

So where is Emma in life and what is she doing? Well, I'm back in school and I'm actually kind of enjoying it so that's nice. Other than that, I feel like I've come to a point in my life where I'm quite happy with what I have. I think I've learned to appreciate the little things and take time off for myself, just to be. I've found a balance between school, training, friends and studying. It feels like I've found a new version of myself that is all happy and positive. It's great! 

So basically this was just an entry to give a little update on how I will blog in the future (not very interesting). I will be posting some inspirational stuff later today. I hope you all have a lovely Sunday!

to die would be an awfully big adventure.

This is a music post where I will rec some... hmm... music without lyrics?

What some of you might not know about me is that I love classical music and instrumental music. Mozart, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi... I'm a big fan! But I also love movie scores. 

One of my favorite movies is the Peter Pan movie from 2003. Not only is it one of my favorite movies, but it also has some of my favorite music. The track Flying by James Newton Howard is just amazing. It's so full off energy and it always brings me up. I love listening to it, it makes me happy.

James Newton Howard - Flying (Peter Pan)

James Newton Howard - Fairy Dance (Peter Pan)

Other scores he made: King Kong, I Am Legend, The Hunger Games.

Another of my favorite movies, the French movie Les Choristes, does contain lyrics but the music is too beautiful not to post. Listen to it even if you don't understand French, because the music is just beautiful and if it weren't for the fact that I don't believe in heaven and all that, I would guess that it's an angel's voice singing the solo's (it's a little boy!).

Les Choristes - Caresse sur l'océan

Les Choristes - Ave Maria (listen to those voices... crazy!)


65daysofstatic is a band that I know absolutely nothing about that does instrumental music. I just happened to discover one of their songs and I liked it (except for the ending).

65daysofstatic - Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here


Another one of those bands that I know nothing about is Explosions in the Sky. They make some great instrumental music and I discovered them a couple of years ago. Warning: the songs are really long, like 10 minutes. So listen to them before going to bed or something, when you have the time.

Explosions in the Sky - The Only Moment We Were Alone

Explosions in the Sky - Six Days At The Bottom Of The Ocean

Explosions in the Sky - First Breath After Coma


Now some classical music! My favorite is a song by Edvard Grieg that I think most have heard, however, there doesn't seem to be a lot of people who have heard of Edvard. Anyway, he's a Norwegian composer and the song below is ah-mazing. Close your eyes, relax and listen.

Edvard Grieg - Morning (Peer Gynt)


I'm too lazy to write about every composer so I'll just post the rest of my favorite classical songs.

Antonio Vivaldi - Spring 1st Mvt. (The Four Seasons)

Peter Tchaikovsky - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (The Nutcracker)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Rondo Alla Turca (The Turkish March)

Antonín Dvo řák - New World Symphony No. 9


I'm going to Italy later this afternoon so I have to go get ready. I won't update the blog if there's no Wi-Fi, so if I don't find any, see you in three weeks :)

i like my money right where i can see it - hanging in my closet.

I just came home with these pretties from the mall :)

I've been looking for shorts with some lace or crochet stuff for quite some time know so it was love at first sight when I saw these. Perfect for the beach or a day in town = the perfect summer shorts!
