If you write 3.14 backwards it looks like pie

Hello!
IT SNOWED YESTERDAY. I just had to put that out there. You thought it was spring and then BAM! Suddenly, wild snow storm appeared! But it looks like the weather will be nicer today! :)

Friday was 3.14 - pi(e) day! I came home late Friday, so I made a pie yesterday instead. It was amazebeans. Lemon meringue pie. It was enormous, so I had to call Johanna over to help me and my family eat it!
Look, beeyoutifoul

Lots of meringue, lots of lemon curd

Mum's slice

As soon as a camera comes out these things appear
Last night I went to see Don Giovanni at the opera with my mum! It was incredible, I really appreciate the talent and hard work put into the performance. Bravo! It was so good I almost died.

I also went vintage "shopping" in my mum's wardrobe, and found a blue skirt, a pink skirt, and a grey knit cardigan. Thank you mum :)

Otherwise, today will be horse riding, studying and singing. See you soon!
Love
Sofia

Wednesday mornin'

Hi!
These past few days have been very busy, so I haven't been able to update as much as I would have liked. Anyway, school is going as per usual, apart from that it's elections season in the Student Union! Kind of cray cray but very fun.

I recently painted my nails, which actually is a thing for me since I don't often do it. The colour I used is Naughty Nautical from Essie,  I'll post a picture later!

I also recently recieved the catalog from La Redoute (clothes by post order)... And I'm like asdfghjkl because everything is just perfection. Especially, especially the Mademoiselle R collection. LIFE.

More than that there really isn't anything interesting going on, I'll see you guys soon!
Love

Sun, muffins and DNA

Hi!
It is incredibly sunny and beautiful outside right now. I took a long walk home from piano this morning, gotta get that tan y'know ;) I also just finished a batch of almond muffins with white chocolate topping. Have a peek:
Yay!

Om nom
I'm kind of on a baking spree right now - I may upload something tomorrow as well, we'll see :) The rest of the afternoon will be spent studying (biology test Friday - everything I see can be connected somehow to protein synthesis or sugar-phosphate backbones) and recharging my batteries for the rest of the week! See you soon.
Love

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) :)

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!

Trees and semlor

Good morning!
Just thought I'd throw out a quick blog post before getting ready for school. Yesterday was semmeldagen, a day where you eat a Swedish pastry called "semla" that is practically a wheat bun with almond paste and whipped cream. So me and my friend Bahar went to a super cosy café and had semlor and tea. Yum! :9

I'm also almost finished with the cardboard decal on my wall! I made this because I thought that the wall next to my window looked very empty, so I wanted to get crafty and make something to decorate it! Here's what it looks like right now, but I still have cute birds to add ;)
Yes, it has a swing

Nevermind the loudspeaker
Have a nice day!

I'm afraid of skiing

Hi!
I'm just back from a skiing trip with my family in the Swedish mountains. The "fjäll" as we call it. It was really nice, and I actually really tried to get over my fear of skiing. It went quite well, I managed not to break a bone. I see it as an achievment every time. ;) Studying was also attempted (you can't say I didn't try), but I then finally resorted to watching soap operas on TV and eating chocolate from the nearby chocolate factory outlet. Om nom.
Oh look, there's snow

We went sledding. It was intense.

Messing around with the camera. One of my favourite pictures!
That's what I've done this week! See you soon :)

Some days I wake up, and I'm like, "I should start a blog."

Hi!
As you may or may not know, I'm Sofia, and, well, welcome to my blog :) This blog will consist mostly of fashion, baking, music, crafts and other miscellanea. I am a girl of few words and if you ever meet me in person you will notice that. I try to keep blabbering to a minimum and would rather say something short but with meaning. I am a person that will put enormous pressure on herself, but I am at the same time easy-going and relaxed when it comes to things I can't change. My favourite days are the ones I spend with my friends and family, with nice weather and good atmosphere. I have an odd addiction to cupcakes and 1940-60's fashion. I dream of studying veterinary medicine, and in my free time I'm a singer/songwriter. I am not quite there yet, but soon enough I will start to post my songs on Youtube. Just hang in there! I bake all the time, and it drives my family insane. Sorry, mum. But you get better by practicing ;)
I'd just like to say thank you for popping in and saying hi. I look forward to hearing from you, don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or comments. I hope that you will find something of interest on my blog, and I'll see you around! :)
Love
Sofia
