    Busy week

    Hello monday.

    This week I’m doing a little collaboration with Society-A on instagram so that’s happening. They have lots of fun, different and colourful clothes all made by leading Asian designers and labels and it’s definitely worth taking a look at. I’ll share some photos of their clothes every day this week for you guys to take a peek.

    The clothes are made by nice fabrics and definitely of great quality. I like their unique pieces, it’s not like with other mainstream stores, where you can find the exact same thing in another shop. Maybe not the right fit for my body shape though.

    This week will be cramped at work, hopefully I’ll be done with everything by the time I leave on Sunday. As I’m the only Norwegian person that works for our company I have to get everything out-of-the-way, so it won’t be on hold for another 3 weeks. At first I was doing my own campaign that I have been doing earlier but as we are rebranding, there is a lot of website content that needs to be done as well, so I have to go a bit back and forth trying to figure out the times and just getting it done. I haven’t really been having any long lunches lately, as that’s the prime time for my other campaign. Oh well, at least I get to control my own time for a while and it feels good to do something different.

    It’s kind of good too to not have too long lunch breaks as it makes you tempted to go out and eat with the rest, and I honestly can’t choose what to eat at the moment. I know I’m going to gain some kilos on the trip so I just want to be as lean as I can for departure.

    I threw a house party with the company and some other friends this weekend, and the drinking just went out of hand, haha. Scandinavian people loves to drink… followed by eating junk food so this was a bad cheat weekend for me. Me and Tom started off saturday with going to Victory Monument to have 5 bowls of boat noodles each. It didn’t make me any less hungry for when people came over,  and after all the finger food, tacos and insane amounts of alcohol that went down as a result of losing in flip cup and beer pong, I decided it was a good idea for me to have some McDonald’s as everyone was ordering and there was nothing else open. 2 burgers, one fries, and a six-pack of nuggets with cheese dip later I thought I was going to explode.

    The following day was no better, we went to our favourite chicken and Som Tam place on rama 9, called Gai Yang Rama 9 and had some chicken, som tam and other delicious isaan food of course I also had a Cha manao (Lemon ice tea) on the side.. and you know how bad Thai ice tea is, nice and FULL of sugar. We also ended the night with a steak each at Le Boeuf, that steak is just amazing. Needless to say, It was a great weekend, but… I have to get back to the dieting today.

    I’m so extremely excited for our trip on Sunday, I can’t wait. It’s been so long since I’ve had 3 weeks of holidays in so many different places!!

    How was your weekend? xx

    The longest day …

    Tuesday is the longest day of the week for me so now that it’s over I’m going to bed with a big smile. Today I got back to the gym again, and it felt good. I’ve had a problem with protein shakes before, because it leaves me warm and makes me feel nauseous, especially if I have them with only water. And it happened again today, so the beginning of my workout was really slow. I normally add a banana to it or some non-fat yoghurt and it helps a lot, but since I was looking forward to a big meal after the workout I wanted to save calories.

    I’ always go for Dymatize strawberry flavour, it tastes so delicious. But this week I wanted to try something different so I got the MusclePharm Chocolate peanut butter flavour, it tasted so so good I’m definitely getting more of this in the future.

    I’m still working out at our condo gym, so I’m not making any gains at the moment, but I’ve come to peace with that. I just want to be lean for the our trip and then get back to it when we get back home. I think I’m going to go on a binge while in the US and Europe though…I can’t wait to get back to a proper gym. It’s not hard to find a good gym in Bangkok, but you always have to sign up for so long otherwise the prices are ridiculous. I still recommend Virgin Active gym though, and I would definitely start there again if it was even closer to our new place. I think smart fitness will be the best option. Also, our condo gym at Aguston is pretty decent. It going to be great to move back, we already have plans for how we are going to change things. We are definitely going back to Ikea for some smart storage solutions. I was so happy when we moved here seeing our current place has two floors and double the amount of space, but there was just something about Aguston that makes it feel more like home. I also love how there is a lot more happening around there, and it will also be a lot closer to work. We always used to go to the cinema or have late dinners at Emporium, so I am pretty stoked about the times ahead now that there are so many more options at Emquartier. There will always be something new to try out.

    Been craving thick heels with angle straps for ages. I have found a few here but EVERY SINGLE TIME they’re out of my size. It so hard finding shoes here in Bangkok, especially when you’re a 38.5, cus 38 tends so be small here and 39 is always out!! Ah, I love love these.

    I love wearing blazers with short crop tops so this time I paired it with a laidback printed one, as it was a chill night out.

    I’ve been searching forever to find a white blazer in my size and my length. Even in Europe that’s a problem. Small sizes always sells out and if they do have small sizes it’s only the short ones. I do like short jackets too, but I always liked longer and slimmer fits for blazers. This one I found at H&M at EmQuartier. If you’re like me and like a  slimmer fit, go down one size, as the waist was a little big. I got mine in 32, and there’s still room to grow in it.

    I’m obsessed with skirts, and I want them all textures colours and shapes possible. If you take the BTS to Chong-Nonsi and walk to Virgin active, you will see a couple of “street vendors” displaying their clothes along the floors. Some nights I see this couple selling skirts there. I always try to grab a new one every time I come across them, as they always change their styles, and the prices are only 150-180 baht. Also, their one size sizing fits so well.

    Everyone need at least one pair of thick ankle strap heels, I’ve been looking for these for ages. Every time I’ve come across them here in Bangkok they’re always out of my size, so annoying. I really want a pair in black, but I guess I have to wait until next month and get some in London or New York. I found these ones at Mango in Silom. I have to say though- these ones  get uncomfortable pretty fast, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting thick heels.

    Swimwear to die for

    Just got this amazingly hot and playful bikini from Khongboon swimwear.

    For those of you that haven’t heard of the brand yet, it’s a collection of handmade luxury swimwear created by Thai designer Supaporn Khongboon, inspired by her travels around the world.

    The details are fun, flirty, and colourful all at the same time.

    There’s four different styles, and I found the best one for my body shape was the criss-cross top and cheeky bottom. You don’t have to buy the whole set and can mix and match as you please.

    For those who does think this is showing way too much skin, don’t worry…They have bikinis for all body types and in every single colour and pattern you can imagine.

    I fell for this orange pattern one, and what’s awesome is that you can wear all of them inside out, so you never have to be dull, wearing the same ones over and over again. Mine turns plain orange if I wear it inside out.

    I love all the details and how it shapes your bum. I can never find the in-between thing when I browse for bikini bottoms, they are either showing way too much butt or they make them look like pancakes :p

    There’s so many pretty ones which makes it really hard to choose. When it comes to sizing, I would say their system is for smaller girls. I usually wear an XS bottom and S top in Europe, and after looking at the chart I had to go up a size and chose a bottom in S, which fit me perfectly. The top was between S and M and I went for the S, where as I should have gone one size up. I guess what I’m saying is – make use of the size chart!

    All in all, I think pretty much every girl will love this brand – I mainly buy bikinis from Victoria’s Secret, as I always find flaws in other bikinis and never re-use them, and I think Khongboon is just as good as what the Angels wear. I can’t say how much I love the cheeky bottom. Also, for me who loves to do activities on the beach or even work out there, this top really fits and I don’t have to be scared of things falling out, haha. I think you girls know what I mean. Also no buckles on this model so you don’t have to worry about being denied on the slides at water parks. I was super sad wearing a Victoria’s Secret one where the locking system on the back is made out of metal, and they wouldn’t allow me to go on it.

    I’m very excited for them, a Thai brand getting huge internationally. I’ve seen the brand on several big models names, and it’s also been shown in magazines like Vogue, Tatler, Glamour and W+.

     

     

    Will you be getting one of these?

    I’ve been obsessed with these metallic temporary tattoos lately, and especially now that summer is around the corner. I’ve used them to pretty much every festival we’ve been to so far, and will definitely put them on for some nice photos and showing off on the beach. Mine are from Bling my thing. Until the 21st this month, they give away a one for every purchase over 29 USD. You better take a look while you have the chance. My favourite collection is Simple is beautiful. I’ve been using their milkyway covers on my iphone 5 and 6 and not a single crystal has been detached yet. I’ll show you all real soon!

    Tips: Every girl need white lace and floral prints for this summer. It’s a must. You can get it up at any market around Bangkok, or pretty much find it in any mall; if you’re up for spending the extra money. I’ve been looking long and hard for floral print shoes so when I saw these at WearYouWant I just had to get them. There’s also free shipping over 390 baht, AND you get a 200 baht discount if you sign up for the newsletter.

    I am stoked!! Summer is right around the corner. I know it might not be the same living in Thailand, seeing we have the sun and hot weather all year around, but being Norwegian Anita as well, I am feeling the vibes.

    If you know anyone from Norway, you know how exited we are about summer. It’s the three months of the year we have with amazing weather, midnight sun and finally the layers of clothes can be tucked away in the closet. It’s the times when we pretty much barbeque and go hiking in the mountains or visit the cabin EVERY DAY.(I come from a small town) It’s so ridiculously amazing and people can’t wipe that smile of their face during this time.  I know I’m not in Norway now to experience it… but always… wherever I am during this time of the year I just can’t help waking up happy.

    Even though we haven’t planned our dates to go back for summer, I already feel like I CAN’T WAIT. We’ve both been pretty busy lately and the longest holidays we’ve had is a long weekend… this summer, or late summer, Norway, Spain and New York is on the list of places to be visited.
