11 days Until California And I Can't Wait To....

...........................................................................................................................................................................

...go to the movies or even have a movie-marathon, which I don't think is allowed but everybody does it! :P
AND of course eat movie nachos. Everyone hates them in the beginning, thinks it's cheesy and gross, but when you are Americanized you start to love it! ;)

Oh well.. For now I have to make due with Trondheim because I can't wait any longer to see the last Harry Potter movie. Me and my friend watched part one of the Deathly Hallows yesterday to remember it all, I am excited!!

Oooh, and I am wearing my new crochet vest that my mom made for me, see HERE. In the end I didn't want as long fringes as the Nicole Richie top, but I love the result.

Have you seen the Harry Potter movie? (No spoilers pleeease)

Copying Nicole Richie's California Style

...........................................................................................................................................................................
On Saturday my mom and I were out shopping and we stopped by a yarn boutique. I'm so lucky, my mom loves to sow, do embroidery, nit and other craft work. I'm so lousy at it.

Anyway, she asked me if I wanted her to make me something. I love the trend with crochet, so I thought it would be cool with a crochet boho vest. We found a pattern that she could use and I also came up with the idea to add some fringes on the bottom of the vest.


| She already finished a lot since Saturday | 


| Here is the pattern she is following, pretty detailed |


Today, I was looking at some pictures so I could show what the vest would look like when it is finished, and guess which designer brand appeared on Google? Winter Kate. As some of you may now, Nicole Richie is the designer of the brand Winter Kate. It might be possible that I've seen a picture of it before and I subconsciously chose almost exactly the same design.. haha..

This is what it might look like when it is done, but I am not sure if I want so many or so long fringes, we'll see!  Yiiippiiie, I am excited to see the result! :D
