Busy as a bee.

I feel a bit ashamed apologising yet again for not posting in so long. You see, I'm moving and I've been spending all of my free time in the afternoon packing, cleaning and doing all the things you have to do when you move houses. It is so incredibly stressful, and hard, but it needs to be done and hopefully the result will be satisfactory. I hope you can bear with me.

When I came home from my holiday, a pretty package with the most extraordinarily cute vintage dress, as well as a pretty vintage skirt awaited me. I'm going to try uploading pictures of them one of the following days. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

The beach.

First of all, I apologize for not updating in four days. I'm back in Norway now, and haven't been feeling too well due to illness and missing my boyfriend. My studies have started again as well, and the weather is cold, and there is nearly a metre of snow here. I can't really bother shoveling it either, as it just seems to come back, so I just have to struggle through the snow and get my socks wet instead.

Enough complaining. One of the things that do brighten me up is looking through the pictures I took while I was in Israel. One of the last days I was there, we went to the beach during sunset, and it was marvellous.




We collected seashells.







My boyfriend's dad had given us these delicious sunshade shaped chocolates on cinnamon sticks.

New things I've bought in Israel.

A couple of days ago I bought the most adorable sweater, with an adorable collar, from my favourite shop in Israel, Cala. They always seem to stock the cutest retro like clothing that I like.




I also bought these shoes from Topshop. I've been wanting some white repetto zizi flats for ages, and when I came across these, I thought they were a close enough resemble, at least for now.

Orange tree.

I wish I could live in a garden with fruit trees, like this orange tree. In Israel there are lemon and orange trees everywhere, with ever so tempting fruits, which I unfortunately haven't tried tasting yet.







Dress, tutu skirt and socks from H&M and shoes from Bianco.

I wish you all a delightful new year!

Hanukkah

While most of you have been celebrating Christmas, I've been celebrating Hanukkah this last week. Up until now I had never really celebrated it, so this time it was lovely to celebrate it with all the things it includes, such as lighting the candles, songs, and delicious food like sufganiot (like berliner doughnuts) and latkes (potato pancakes).

Last night was the last day of Hanukkah, and we made latkes.





Yummy!

Jaffa

Today I discovered what has to be my favourite place in Tel Aviv: Jaffa. It's one of the oldest ports in the world, and it's so extremely pretty and picturesque with the old buildings, sea, and palm trees.

The Dead Sea

On Thursday and Friday my boyfriend and I went to the Dead Sea for a two day trip.




I floated in it, which was a strange experience. Somehow, though, I'd expected to float even more easily than I did. It was nice nonetheless.


We also went to a beautiful nature reserve where we went hiking in the mountains. There were also natural springs and waterfalls there. I'd never seen anything like it before - it seemed almost magical.


Cute, little animals like this one were running around everywhere.

As well as going hiking and floating in the dead sea, we also had a mud bath - which was fun, but we forgot to take pictures of it.
