Dinner party. Martha Stewart must have Swedish heritage…

Monday, June 8th, 2009

My flat mates and me celebrated the end of the term with a luxurious dinner party on Friday. I have never done real dinner parties with my friends in Germany. We mostly meet at restaurants and sometimes we make raclette. But I think it would be a little exaggerated to call smelting cheese and frying vegetables cooking.

With cooking it’s a little bit like with clothes in Sweden: people care really much about it. They like it perfect! I think in no other country students would organise a seven courses dinner party to celebrate the summer holidays.

Most student parties in Germany for example start with beer. We however started with champagne that Johan prepared.

And that was the whole menu:

You are maybe wondering now where my name is on the list. Well, I took pictures and washed the dishes (yes, I can’t cook…).

However, my flat mates are fortunately much more talented in the kitchen. They are really excellent cooks!

First we ate Småland roles, a Mexican soup, a Japanese soup and Sushi (very international).

That’s Kalle enjoying the Japanese soup. He is a very talented architect student and created the banner for my blog. Check out his great blog if you want to see more:

The whole gang. 

The Sushi was incredibly delicious!!! Look how great it looked.

After the Sushi we did a break since everybody was already quite full.

By the way, look at my new skirt that I bought at Popolino (best shop in Malmö!!!) on Friday before the dinner. It’s from Popkitten.

We continued with the main course, salmon with potato salad. 

For dessert we had a cheese plate, ice cream and brownies.

For some reason, I was still able to move after this huge dinner. I ended up at a party with some Danish theme. There I met this girl here. I think the dress is really cute (even though I don’t see the connection to Denmark apart from the colours…).

Bad kids

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I was invited to a birthday party in Malmö on Saturday. What I really like about Malmö is that a lot of people try to be different than the mainstream Svensson. Don’t misunderstand me! I love Sweden with all its Svenssons but sometimes when I walk through Lund for instance I think a little bit more diversity would be great.

I come from Dortmund, a quite diverse city in the west of Germany (at least in comparison with Lund), and always when I’m in Malmö I think it’s like a Swedish version of Dortmund; dirty and dangerous with a lot of bad kids everywhere.

The birthday party was also so typical Malmö as I think.

Let’s have a look…

This is Sophie and also my favourite picture of that night. I know it’s not ok to praise yourself in Sweden but I love the contrast between the flower grandma wallpaper and Sophie gothic punk girl!

linda 

Then we have Linda and…

marie

…Marie who listened to the Black Lips song ‘Bad kids’ about two hours that night. What a fantastic song! 

erik

And here’s Erik lacing up his boots. By the way, Erik is one of the Swedes who lived in Berlin for a while and I was so impressed by his German! 

julia-och-moi

That’s my friend Julia and me. Actually I don’t feel very comfortable in front of the camera (as you maybe see here) but I think it’s a cool picture because we look like two girls from the 50s (both dresses from Gina Trikot). I’m just realising how different (or boring) we looked compared with the other party guests. By the way, you can immediately see that we were at a Swedish party. 

fuse

No shoes inside the house! I hate that and I will never get used to it! Come on, it’s an outfit and it’s cold without shoes!

I love Brenda Walsh and Chicks on Speed!

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

I was at Babel in Malmö recently. I think it’s one of Sweden’s best clubs because the great music and the interesting design (it looks like some kind of modern church on three floors) always attract a lot of special and unique people. 

Also this time: Chicks on Speed were on stage and their show was really crazy and funny…and sometimes even somehow shocking. I mean who expects films about arses getting spanked at a normal concert?! Ouch!

Their dresses were equally weird. My personal basic fashion rule is: Take black and white and mix it with not more than two other colours (mostly red or blue). However, it seemed that Chicks on Speed rather thought: take every colour, pattern and material you can imagine and create some chaotic garments.

Look…

I have to admit that I would never wear such clothes but I really like people who don’t look like the mainstream.

After the concert we stayed for the party ‘I love Brenda Walsh’ at Babel. Here are my favourites from that night. 

robyn-lykkeli1

It’s the hair. I think it looks like a fantastic mix between Lykke Li and Robyn because of the bun and the shaved head.

50s

I love 50s style! Especially the hats are great!

red-blue

Didn’t I just write that I like black, white combined with red…

wonderwoman

Neon Wonderwoman with a blue wig maybe?

trans

I have to admit that I thought that the person on the picture was a girl when I took it but I’m actually not sure anymore…hm what do you say?
