Oh my, he knows his stuff. Great pieces from RL.

Going to a ball this fall?

Pun intended, indeed...

New in - MK Lexington Watch

So, it is done. I finally have my first Michael Kors watch! I took real advantage of the discount Shopbop had this week, since I also bought a Michael Kors bangle, and even when adding cost for taxes and shipping I still got a fantastic deal.

I'm not sure though if I'll buy some more MK watches since I'm a real fan of Longines. There is also a big difference in quality. The worst thing for my account is, that I've already been glancing at two different pieces from the latter...

What to do? Ombre or no ombre? Long or short?

 Don't know what to do...Should I cut it short or medium? Keep it long and brown? Any favourite?

Fall 2014?

Dsquared2 / Versace / Moschino

For me, as someone from up north, there seems to be a bit of a confusion whether the collections for fall is really made for fall and winter...They seem more appropriate for spring and summer...And yes, I know that you shouldn't "translate" the art of fashion literally but sometimes I found it ridiculous how some peeps suffer for fashion.

Here in Sweden there are mostly teens though, trying to rock the short leather jacket in minus 5 degrees Celsius...I mean this is what we face:

If your after a little saving then take a look. I found out that they have some nice cuts on prices today. I sure couldn't help myself. =) I'll tell more later!

Hat it like Posh

Hats. I think more people should wear them. Looks so great and stylish almost every time. It's hard having just one favourite since I like Trilby, Fedora, floppys etc. Do you have a favourite?

Intervals and Nike Free

 

You know, intervals is the shit. I'm a bit perplexed that only two interval sessions have made such a difference already. Yesterday I ran 1 mile (metric) at just over 53 minutes and a week earlier I did it at 59:44. Just crazy. So that's why I believe there is something wrong with the treadmill.

...But I still think it calls for some sort of celebration, so that's why these goodies from Nike are on their way home. =D

Under Armour - motivational

What do you do to find motivation?

For me? First I go to the gym and get results and later on I make a click, click, click and order. And then repeat. =P

Work it out - having a knee injury

As some of you might remember, I had a knee injury last summer and I still have a "broken knee", since I've decided not to go through with an op. The problem is that my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is completely torn, as it turned out 6 weeks after the incident...

The doc couldn't identify the problem or if something was broken  - and he had about 10 minutes to do so when I visited - so I was instructed to seek out a physiotherapist "when things gotten better". The latter could tell me, within 10 seconds of examining the knee, that the ACL was torn completely.

Resulting in anxiety, wondering if I could ever do the things I loved again, I was presented with two options: do the op and not knowing if any complications arise, or not do the op and restrict what I can do with the knee; i.e. not be able to go skiing or playing soccer full speed. Not that I would do that anyway, so I've decided to opt for the less dramatic choice since my goals are:

• Be able to lift weights at the gym
• Be able to run (including long distances, intervals, terrain etc)

...And the progress?



 Well, I've reach some of them:

• Lifting weights to ensure stability in the joint and build up for the loss of muscle mass
• Being able to run  - at all - on treadmill
• Being able to run 3 times a week - starting at 10 minutes
• Being able to run (non stop) at least 45 minutes
• Being able to run a mile (the metric system that is, for english it's about 6,2 miles)
• Starting interval training 3-4 sets á 4 min at 85% of HRmax - did today...almost. =D

Left to be done:

• Intervals 6-8 set as above and go through a test used by PT for soccer players
• Terrain including long distance
• See if the knee holds together...otherwise there will be an operation...

Coat in camel

I'm so into camel and beige coats right now, that it is ridiculous! I've search all over for the perfect one. I did actually find it, one year ago...but then I didn't feel like putting that much on a coat when I needed a real winter down jacket. Much to my amazement, I found the exact one on Tradera (Swedish sister company to eBay) just last week and I won the auction! I'll post pics soon.

Do you have any favourite?
