outside with friends

I went to town with some "old" friends from elementary school today. We went to Condeco, ate brownies with cream + cola/sprite , talked, laughed and just had fun. It´s nice to meet friends you have spend so much time with, it brings back all the old memories :)

 Now I´m super super super hungry so what I´m going to do now after finished this post is to cook and eat before I starve to death haha.. But before I cook, I have to decide what to cook, and that´s the hardest part, don´t you think so?

“How does one become a butterfly?" she asked. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”

A new little drawing in my sketchbook. Really simple and clean, with black pencils, that´s exactly how I like to draw the latest time. No shadows,just black and white. What do you think? :)

Now it´s time to go and buy some yummie stuff and then watch the movie "we bought a zoo" with my sisters with opened windows while the rain is pouring down outside. Have a nice evening everyone ♥

a day with my family

Hello everyone! Today I have spend the day with my family. We went to amusement park and we had a lot of fun, but it was a long day and now when I´m home I´m super tired.

What I´ll do next is to fix a cup of tea or hot chocolate (eh..why not both?) and watch a movie with my sisters. What movie? hmm.. maybe Water For Elephants or Letters To Juliet or The Vow, I´m not sure, as you see..  Let´s start somewhere by choosing if I´m going to have a cup of tea or a cup of hot chocolate....  bye for now ♥

It has been a very long day today, but also great. I woke up pretty late and eat breakfast. After that me and my mom + sisters went to town for a little shopping spree. I just bought some face products (which I´m going to show you another day) and after the shopping we went to our cousin´s house. When we came home, I was super tired so I slept  and now it´s night but I´m not sleepy at all. Typical me.

Now it´s time to drink some water, check out some blogs and later: sleep. Hope you all have had a great day!

pink braided iPhone case

Last week I ordered two iPhone cases to my little iPhone and today I got one of them. Guess if I love it? The other one will probably show up this week too, and yes, I will show it when I have it :)

Now I´ll watch Project Runway All Stars with my sisters and later we´ll go out and jog and maybe watch a movie . Have a nice evening ♥

..and if you don´t believe in miracles, perhaps you´ve forgotten you are one

Hello everyone ♥ It´s Tuesday today and the weather is pretty nice, it´s not raining today - thank God. I like rain and I think it´s super cozy when it´s raining sometimes and you´re sitting inside with great book or a great movie and the windows are opened so you can hear the rain smatter, but not every day in 1-2 weeks, that´s just too much rain, don´t you agree? We all need the sun, it makes us happier in another way.

I actually don´t have any plans for today, because yesterday I thought it would rain today,too, but it didn´t. What are you going to do today, and how´s the weather where you live? :)

questions and answers

When did you start drawing?
I actually don´t remember when I started to draw, but what I know is that I have always liked to do that and I started to do that more "seriously" 2 years ago..

 What do you like drawing the most? It depends, years ago I would have answered random people and celebrities, but now I like to draw nature-drawings, such as flowers ,pattern and all that kind of stuff.

 How long do you set on average to realize a drawing? I don´t spend a lot of time on just one drawing. I always finish them very fast, it ¨haven´t taken more than 1 hour/each to make my drawings,especially not the sketches (except of one drawing), because I don´t color them (and that´s what takes the most time to do if you ask me). The drawing that took the most time (more than 2 hours) is the owl drawing.

What are your sources of inspiration, mainly? I get most of my inspiration from weheartit and tumblr, but also by looking in other blogs and reading in magazines or sometimes by watching different tv programs. The world is full of inspiration, you just have to know what you are looking for!

 Do you use precise pencils? No, I use different pencils to different drawings. Maybe I´ll make a post someday and show what I use, because it´s pretty hard to write all of them down.

What type of program do you use for your photos? Photoshop? No, I don´t even have photoshop. What I use to edit my photos ad fix my blog layout/design are photoscape and gimp. They are both free and you can download them to your computer very easily.

 What is your favourite movie? and why is it your favourite? Hmm.. I have seen a lot of super super great movies the latest time, and I have a lot of favourite movies (such as all the Harry Potter movies and all the Twilight movies and , The Last Song, Dear John, and much much more) but one of the movies that brought most feelings (tears,smiles..you name it) is A Walk To Remember. It´s so sad and beautiful. I watched it alone and cried like a baby. If you haven´t seen it,you have to watch it.

What camera and lens do you use? and do you edit your photos? 
I use Canon eos 450D and I have two lenses, one Canon 50mm f1.8 and one Tamron 18-200mm f/3,5-6,3

 Is it true that you are going to get braces?  Yes it´s true! I will get my braces in September.. exciting!

 Do you have a wishlist on things you want to buy right now? If yes, what´s on your wishlist?
Ofcourse I have a wishlist! I haven´t wrote it down, but I still know what I want, in my head,you know. And some of the things I have on my wishlist are : Jeffrey Campbell lita/spikes shoes & Homg shoes, some new jwelry and clothes (I always want to buy clothes, so it´s always on my wishlist), books by Nicolas Sparks (love his storys!)

 Name some of the movies you have seen the latest time.
The latest movies I have seen are The last song, this means war,  the notebook, a walk to remember , it´s a boy girl thing and some more I don´t remember...

Can you show some more drawings from your sketchbook? Yes, I will show more sketches/drawings when I have made some new.

Do you have facebook, twitter and tumblr ? Yes, I meantioned that in a post before, but I can write again. I have Facebook (facebook.com/dilandilir). No, I don´t have twitter, and yes, I have tumblr (dilandilir.tumblr.com)

Hope you got your answer and I hope you enjoyed the post. Now I´m hungry after writing so much,so it´s time to fix something to eat!

Jeffrey Campbell Homg - a big wantie

The latest days I have got my eyes on these shoes from Jeffrey Campbell , they are seriously one of the coolest and most useful shoes I have seen in a long time, don´t you agree? I wouldn´t mind having them in my closet. Actually , I was thinking of order the one without studs but I can´t find a swedish shop selling it. I don´t want to order from other non-swedish sites because 1, I´m not sure about the sizes 2, it will have to pay a lot for the shipping 3, it will all be really expensive. So what it´s left to do (if I want to buy them) is to wait until I find them somewhere in Sweden.....and yes, I hate waiting.

almost finished

Started with this little drawing yesterday, and I will maybe start to finish it today by color it.  What do you think? :) ♥

looking for inspiration

Hello wonderful people ♥ Right now I´m sitting and looking for inspiration in tumblr,wehearit and favim because I really want to make a drawing or sketch or whatever,but I don´t know what to draw. I have found some nice images that will maybe help me.

I got a question by a reader who wanted to know if I had facebook, tumblr and twitter, and yes, I do have facebook (facebook.com/dilandilir  ps: you have to be inlogged to see my profile) and yes,I do have tumblr, so if you want to check it out click here or just visit dilandilir.tumblr.com and no,I don´t have twitter :) So now you know that...

Now it´s time to continue looking for inspiration and maybe start to draw. Have a nice Friday everyone ♥

a little help to find my keys

I bought this little (ok, it´s not so little,it´s actually pretty big) medallion/locket for my keys so I can find them easier when I just throw them in my bag and also because I thought it was pretty cute and would make my bunch of keys more personal. What do you think,is it cute? :)

“Never let success go to you head. Never let failure get to your heart.”

Hello lovely people! It´s a beautiful day today, the sun is shining and it´s pretty warm. And no, the photos above are not photographed today because I haven´t been outside yet. I woke up pretty late so I haven´t done so much, just been eating a little but now I feel hungry again, so what I´m going to do next is to cook something to eat + watch TV.. What are you doing today? :)

rock crystal necklace

photosource

I have got my eyes on the rock-crystal necklaces you see on the photo above, I think they are super cool and it will pimp any simple outfit. And yes, I want to own one, but I don´t know where I can find one that is not very expensive but still good-looking. Do you know where to find it? :)

"even the smallest star shines in the dark"

1. my favourite top. 2. wall decoration 

Hello wonderful people! It´s still a rainy weather in sweden and when I´m looking at the weather forecast it seems like it´s going to be rainy and cloudy every day this week. Really sad.

 I tried another kind of photo editing today, as you maybe see. I never make my pictures black and white,so I did that with those you see above, and my pictures are always really sharp, so I added a noisy effect to it, so now it looks like they are photographed with a old camera, love that! Nów it´s time to cook food,I´m so hungry! Have a great Monday evening everyone ♥

PS: I want to remind you that you can still join my giveaway where you can win a cute necklace  by klicking here and that you can ask questions about things you wonder in my Q&A by clicking here.

liseberg - detail pictures

Hello all lovely people! I hope you have had a great day. My day was really good, and you wonder why, look at the pictures above and you may know the answer. Me and my sisters went to Liseberg (amusement park) and we had a lot of fun. I didn´t photograph so much because the weather was a bit cloudy and that destroyed the colors in the pictures,but we will go there more times since we have bougth year card to the amusement park...

I´m really tired, so what I´m going to do now is to watch a movie and just rest. Bye for now ♥

"don´t depend on next times and second chances, they may never come"

We (my family) went to my grandmother´s house earlier today and we took a walk outside with my cousins and little sisters. It was a great walk and I got some great photos until my camera battery died, you can see three of the photos above. Love the purple flowers, purple is actually my favourite color. It´s such a beautiful color, don´t you think so? :)


Later this evening me and my sisters are going to watch a movie. We have downloaded a lot of great movies and we have been watching some of them the latest evenings. Do you have any tips on great movies you have seen? I would love if you wrote down some of them! :) Have a wonderful evening everyone and I hope you enjoyed the photos. ♥

healthy...huh?

I have started to jog every evening/morning because I want to feel more "healthy". Ok, I admit, I still eat cakes and stuff like that sometimes (I can´t resist), but I don´t feel bad now because I jog at least 40 minutes/day..

PS: My blog posts are a bit boring nowadays, and that´s because I don´t have that much to write about. Things are not like they are used to be, and things are changing in my life.  I don´t know how the things are going to end, but whatever happens, I hope it´s a good decision for my future.

off to school

Good morning everyone! I´m going off to school in some minutes to give back all my books and stuff to the teachers (I have no lessons today) because tomorrow it´s the last day and it´s finally time for summer holiday, yey! But unfortunately, it´s raining all the time and it doesn´t feel like summer at all. I hope the sun shows up this week. Have a great day everyone ♥

cloudy and grey morning

I woke up pretty late today, so I haven´t done so much so far, just taken two photos (the ones you see above). Soon I´m going to eat (pretty hungry now) and later I don´t know what to do. What are you doing today?

and I, I should be floating but I´m weighted by thinking.

Lack of inspiration and nothing to write. I hope you all have a great day. See you, another day, when I have something to show and something to write.

on my way home.

I finished school early today , so I'm on my way home now, and yes, I'm blogging from my iPhone! It's the first time, and maybe not the last. When I get home, I'll change my wet clothes and make some pancakes. Yummie. But first ; go to the supermarket and buy strawberry jam!

some pages in my sketchbook.

Since I promised to show you if I made sketches in my new sketchbook, I decided to photograph the first (and latest) ones and show you. They are very simple and rough, but  I hope you like them!

Now it´s time to watch a movie with my love. I´m off from school tomorrow thanks to Sweden´s national day, so we´ll sleep late tonight. Hope you all have had a great day! ♥

late breakfast

Hello lovely people! Right now I´m sitting and eating (very) late breakfast because I woke up late. It just started to rain outside, so cozy. But it´s great with rain today, because I was not planning going out anyway.

Later me and my love are going to make some vegetarish pizza, yummie! We have planned to do many,so we can have them in the freezer and just piut them in the oven whenever we want to eat pizza and the evening will maybe consist of movies, some tasty stuff and lots of candles,sounds? awsooome!

flying bird, blue sky and white clouds.

I have been off from here a little long time, and that just because lack of inspiration and nothing to show and write about. The weather has been rainy (until this evening when the sun came out) so I have not done anything special.

This evening I´m going to sketch a bit in my sketchbook and maybe watch a movie with my love. And yes, I will show you what I have done in my sketchbook,someday,when I have done something. Have a lovely evening,everyone ♥
