Oxford flats and busy life

Hello!
So I just recently discovered Pinterest. If you like looking att pretty things and delicious-looking food, go there. It is the Taj Mahal of all things fashion, crafts, baking, fitspo, you name it. You don't know what you're missing. www.pinterest.com is the website! LOVELOVELOVE (okay I may be a little bit obsessed.)

Now, moment of truth: my Oxford flats arrived yesterday! I wore them today, and my feet are slightly sore, but that's always a thing with new shoes. I just have to walk into them and make sure that they get some nice wear! I took some photos, tried to make it look somewhat professional with the background and such, hihihi that was fun. Anyway, here they are!

Yaay so pretty

I especially like this picture

The pearl necklace just makes it more interesting, I think

Otherwise I'm quite busy at the moment, a lot of work and various events and I'm not sleeping too much, but it really doesn't bother me because I love what I do.
Goodnight!
Love

Knowing how to fix a bike is a useful life skill

Hello!
Today you will be pleased to find that I have a lot to write about! After piano this morning, me and my mum took a trip (by bike! :D) to our local thrift store. We shopped around there for a while, I tried ten pieces of clothing and came out with two, and we had a peek around the other little shops and small enterprises in the area. We figured it must be pretty difficult to have a shop in that little village since it's quite far from anything of importance and few people know about it. Anyway, I bought a turtleneck top (which is really strange since I generally hate turtlenecks, but this one somehow appealed to me very much) and a polka-dotted t-shirt. What can I say? I just love polka dots.

The dots are really small, you can barely see them on the pic

I'm not quite sure how I'll pull this one off yet, but I'll find a way

Seeing as spring is now officially here, and we have two hungry guinea pigs, we just had to let them out on the lawn. The grass is not as lush and green as it is at the peak of summer, but there was still something to eat (yum yum) and the little piggies seemed to thoroughly enjoy some fresh air after the winter.

I came running with the camera just as they were being taken indoors again. Here is Loppan. She is very fluffy.

And this is Klara. She is a bit shyer than Loppan, but nonetheless a sweet pea.

I was in the mood for baking (as always..?), but didn't feel like making anything too heavy. I wanted something light and summery and so decided to make raw-food cookies with apple, raisins and almonds. Raw food is when you don't heat the food over 42 degrees celsius, it's vegan and (often) delicious. The fact that they can't be heated does however mean that it takes forever to cook in the oven (like eight hours), but as I'm impatient I usually take them out earlier and that works just as well.

This is what they look like

And, and, and... Guess who was elected as secretary for the Fika Association?! To be honest there wasn't a lot of competition (I was the only candidate, hahah), but I'm still proud of the fact that I dared to go up there and actually do it. I'm so pumped and excited for this coming year, greatness will go down! :)

To finish off, two pictures that I took today that I really like, because I love grass and blue skies.

If you're a guinea pig this must be delicious

Not a cloud in sight!

Oxford flats and flowering trees

Good morning!
I am in love with our Monday sleep-ins. Such an awesome start to the week, words can't even explain.

I have been looking for a pair of Oxford flats for what feels like forever. I was browsing the internet yesterday, and thought tat maybe I'd search for them. AND I FOUND THEM. On www.houseoffraser.com I found the perfect pair of oxford flats, I've just sent my order and now they're on their way! I. Cannot. Contain. My. Exitement. It's like Christmas, hahah! I will probably wear them with anything and everything and they may never leave my feet. Tough life. I don't know how to screenshot on my computer unfortunately, so I can't show you what they look like right now, but they will definitely be seen here as soon as they arrive.

This weekend I finally finished my wall tree thingy! Since it's spring, I decided to put little flowers on the tree, and I thought that this could be varied according to the seasons, so for autumn I'll make the leaves red and orange, and for winter I'll leave just the bare branches with some snow. Here's what it looks like now!

Yaay so pretty

I am very pleased

I took some detailed pictures as well but they all turned out super blurry so I decided not to post them.
Here's to a sunny week!

The island is springing to life

Hello!
This week has been so nice. Super chill and practically only math homework (which, as a Natural Science student, is a given at any time during the term, so it almost doesn't count)! I got my school sweater yesterday, finally! The order was delayed so I have been waiting for a loong time. But it was worth it. So soft and warm and snuggly I can't even.

Alla KG upp och hoppa, hej, hej!

Currently reading Jane Eyre, after we in school read a book that had a lot of references to it. So I thought I'd read it to understand all the references, and I do. My mind is blown like every chapter when I realise what something really is!

I promised my friend I would bake her cookies for Monday (hi Mehnaz). Considering making peppermint chocolate chip cookies, because they are delicious (like any cookie? haha) and I wanted to make that.

I also have plans to finish my wall tree thing today or tomorrow. I just need to make some cute birds (I'll see if I can find a template online) and then it's done! (The procrastination is strong on this one... Heheh)

Only three weeks until Spring Break! Time goes so fast that it'll be summer in no time (fine by me)! It's also super nice running weather. Went out into the woods yesterday and it was warm and sunny and I ran a different path from the one I usually take, so I got to see a new part of the area.

I thought I'd share the view from my window on this beautiful spring day

Have a nice weekend. See you soon!
Love
Sofia

Thank God it's Friday!

Fridays for me are always the best day of the week - everyone is in a great mood and the weekend is just around the corner! Spring is also soon here, which makes it all the better. I came home today and had a crazy urge to bake cookies, so I was just about to make a single-lady cookie when my dad intervened and wanted me to make a whole batch. So here they are, standard chocolate chip cookies (but nonetheless delicious) :)

Cookies in the oven

I've had four already

Some deer decided to pop by as well!

They like our compost

I like deer

 Outfit of the day:

Crop top and high-waisted jeans

Have an awesome weekend!
