a little crush

Too much estrogen on the blog, time for some testosterone!! A little man-love is never wrong, huh? 

Presenting my latest man crush, Bryan Greenberg from How To Make It In America. You thought I was going to say someting like omg-Ryan Gosling (don't get me wrong, he is hot as hell) or Channing Tatum (yum!), but let's put the obvious man-crushes aside and focus on the ones that haven't been spoiled rotten by "Are you like photoshopped or something?" or man stripping-movies.

 

Hey Bryan, call me maybe?

that hair

Long have I sighed for a drastic hair change, and too long have I known what I wanted. BUT, (yup here's the but..) I have some issues concerning my hair; it falls out. And no matter what I do, how well I treat it, it still bloody keeps falling out, and keeps thinning. Therefore, I have ULTRA thin hair. I used to have very thick healthy hair, but then something happened. But that seems like centuries ago now, and I'm almost used to my mousy thin hair. 

So, I have reached a conclusion. Since all my efforts of saving my hair, stuffing myself with expensive vitamins and weird natural medicine, not treating it with any heat styling, not coloring it, used only very sensitive hair products, and applying numerous of hair treating oils and serums and whatnot, have had no result whatsoever, I might as well go all in and destroy it once and for all. What's the point of having thinning ugly-ass hair, when you can have thinning ultra cool colored hair? Uh? And how not to better destroy it thoroughly than; behold, Julie wants silvery-purpleish-grayish-blueish-pinkish hair.

In search for the perfect hair color for me, I browsed the world wide web. And came across these magnificent hairstyles and colors.

How can you NOT want odd colored hair now?

My hair-destroying project is to be continued...

wanted

Where can I get these babes in Finland? I need these white wonder sneaks NOW!

mmm for h&m

So this is today, are you going to get anything??

come cold

so in honor of the crappy weather we've been having lately, and the fact that i am starting to pack myself into michelin-man style outewear whenever i walk the dog, i decided to do like every other blogger; make a coat-hunt-collage. 
the coat season has truly kicked in, summer turned into fall in like 45 minutes, and fall is turning into a bitch of a winter, i can tell. probably not the winter everyone hopes for, white and beautiful, but rainy, wet and pissingly cold. so far, instead of looking for a new winter coat, I have been postponing my hunt to do some daydreaming instead. My mind waders off the the stunning beaches of asia, and winter coats are very far from that picture. BUT! reality hits me every time I make the mistake of looking in the mirror before i leave out for the dog walking. i can simply not look like that any more, all bum'ish in my mom's old down-jackets and whatnot.

i need a new winter coat. and that's something worth investing in, right?

I found some nice ones in this seasons light colors.

i also found some pretty cool ones in the dark section. i can't seem to stay away from the blacks can i? i have a black heart... my heart beats especially fast for that Mango lamb fur jacket. i predict a must-have developing!

any faves? please share if you lay in with other cool winter coat sources.

angelica you are wanted

The super cool swedish blogger Angelica Blick has designed some items for nelly.com, and I'm having some serious cravings on some of the pieces.

Check out this dress and these shoes! Man, and look, together they are fierce. They are already placed in the shopping cart, but to buy or not to buy... It's been a while since I online sopped, so can I?

wonders of whyred

Holy moly! These shoes are to die for! If I were to own them, I would never have a wardrobe crisis again and I would look good all the time (or you know, relatively speaking...)! 

Too bad they have the fainting price of 303€...on nelly.com. 

But I think I'm gonna strike if I find them on sale somewhere, lets say...half price :)??? Let the search begin!

h&m reunion

I can't tell you how much I love H&M! It's heaven. Imagine how happy I was to find a huge H&M in Singapore. Very happy. So happy I spent two hours there. I went through every item in the trend section, and found various other nice things to try on in the other sections. Since I came home to a H&M without the trend section, I was glad that Singapore had it! So here are some amateur pics I took in the dressing rooms, taken with my really good camera; my iPhone. Hehe.

I tried on this amazing trend silk blouse, that cost a fortune. I pared it up with these cool black pants in kind of horseback riding material - spandex something. I would so have bought them had they had them in my seize... :/ the shirt came home with me though!

Here are the same pants in beige. I wanted them in that creme beige color as well, but my chubby legs are just not made for elastic material that shows off what lies beneath. 

The trend top was a hit, and in the shopping cart it went.

This blouse was just gorgeous, but I didn't go for it. Probably coz I'm poor and didn't have any immediate idea of where to wear it and how to style it. Plus not the most flattering sleeve cut, or the lack of it, for my arms... need some toning asap. Gasp.

I also bought the cool rose-gold colored sunnies chain, silver sandals and a hair thingy to make a bun. A hair-bun thingy...

Now; I need pants.

the jacket

If this jacket was to find its way into my closet, and be there when I come home, I'd simply die. The softest leather ever, cream color and studs make this the most beautiful jacket; the jacket of my dreams. Love love love. Almost walked out of Zara wearing it. Then I remembered that I was in Thailand and the jails here don't have a sugary reputation... Maybe a jacket won't be worth 15 years in jail... Or...?

(sorry for poor picture quality... iPhone takes blurry pics when you're in a rush...)

wanted zara shoes

Zara is not cheaper here than back home, or if it is, it is not much of a difference it makes in the end. Which makes it even harder here to survive a visit in Zara. I want, like I want at home, but the price just seems like a lifetime investment. Comparing these shoes in Zara for around 49€, to a meal of 2€ or a flight ticket to another country for 60€ just seems ridiculous, so I had to put the shoes nicely back on the shelf and walk away. Maybe they have them in Singapore on my way home and at a reduced price...? One can always hope. And what would I do with a pair of clogish heels here in Asia anyways, when I live in my flip flops...huh?

change of color

I want to make something drastic with my hair, before it falls out completely. So I want to let it grow just a bit more, and then color it. I have known for a long time what my new hair color is going to be, but it's all in my head. How do you you explain this hair color to a hairdresser? A little gray, silverish, wash-out purple? So I'm so glad I finally found some pictures showing exactly what hair color I want! I have to go all copycat in this one, but it's the only picture that truly shows the exact color. So when I come home, my hairdresser will choke on her scissors when I show this picture and tell her to make me look like this.

I stole the images from the blog Love Aesthetics, one of the most inspirational blogs I read. I love Ivanas style, her looks and the creative DIYs. She is my muse, and with great hair!

I just hope this hairdo will look good on me:) But I still have some time before I get home. Maybe I'll change my mind. Not likely though.

wanted in the heat

I have a thing a for Ray Ban sunnies, and so far I have in my collection; a pair of Aviators and a pair of Wayfarers. As in, not enough.

Since I started my trip I wished to add a pair of Clubmasters to my collection. That wish has gradually grown into a wanting, and then escalated into a must-have. The must-have has now grown into a fully blossomed obsession of; if I don't get them soon, someone's gonna get hurt.

And to make matters worse, I have discovered a new wish amongst the Ray Bans, to supplement my agony of not owning a pair of Clubmasters. The new wish, that has already grown into a wanting, is the pair of RB3447-02. Black in color, round in shape, probably not cool on my face but who cares, that's the new wanting. But Clubmasters not to be sided, I want both!! Maybe Asia can provide me with a solution to my problem...? If I can find a place that sells something else than (fakefakefake) cheapcheap specialpriceforyoumyfriend stuff...
