As it is I'll dream of you tonight

What and extraordinarily ordinary day. Besides waking up next to the man I love, I did nothing too amazing or memorable today. Just school and chilling with the family.
Tomorrow, however, is the day I have been waiting for two years now: I get the rest of my braces out.Ahhh, I can't even imagine how it will feel to leave this unfortunate episode of my life behind me. No more torn and ripped lips and cheeks, no more painful tightening and no more ickyness from all the food stuck in them. Mmmm...

Dress from VILA, H&M denim Jacket from the fleamarket, Chucks (AGAIN!)

Bag from Istanbul

Little leather belt, elephant pendant and pink nailpolish (Wet and Wild)

Coin earrings from the outskirts of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.

It's cooling down again and honestly I can't wait. It's so exciting to think that soon I'll get to wear all those lovely knits and coats and scarves I dream of :)

One of my favourite songs from my favourite (and H's too) band :)

Sending smiles your way,

It's always better on holiday

 So this afternoon my dad and I went to see the newest Potter-movie. What an experience! I mean the movie was really really amazing (but I expected as much :P ). What I didn't expect was that there was just one other group of people in the full-sized theatre! Talk about a private viewing. While the room itself was rather modern, the rest of the theatre was beautifully nostalgic with movie-posters from the 40s and 50s. What surprised me the most was that there was an intermission right smack in the middle of all the action...I've never experienced that before. It was a really lovely experience, but unfortunately the volume was way too high and I came out with a nasty little headache.

Straight from there we took a tram and a metro to Taksim, the bustling business center of the metropolis. We walked down a shopping street lined with familiar names (topshop, mango etc. ). We had dinner in a lovely Italian-looking courtyard (the best chips ever, stuffed wine leaves and turkish meatballs. ahhh, I'm in food heaven). We ended up stocking up on t-shirts for 5 Lira (2,5 euro) each. I bought an over sized anchor-T, an Elvis one and one with Jimi Hendrix.

Outfit of the day: maxidress from New Yorker in Stockholm and a thrifted waistcoat

My highly employed sandals from H&M

Such a cute street musician. When I tossed him some coins the biggest smile spread on his face and the music turned into a super upbeat jig :)

Our gorgeous (and RIDICULOUSLY cheap) dinner spot.

The shopping street in Taksim. Paradise. Lined with cute cafés and restaurants. ahh.

Tomorrow we're heading out to the Princes Islands off the coast of Istanbul where the creme de la creme spend their summers. Tanning oil? check. Bikini? check. Camera? check!

Lots and lots of love, millions of dresses and happiness to you all!
