Disappointment in shoes
I honestly thought TOMS would be more worth my money I spent on them, and too be honest they weren't. At the beginning of May I bought a pair, mostly because I couldn't find any other shoes in my small mouse feet size. Everyone I see wears them so I thought "Oh! They'll be worth the 60$ I spent on them." no, they weren't worth a dime basically. My right shoe is already tearing away from sole of my shoe, my left shoe is perfectly fine. I mean my feet don't get wet when it rains and they are ultra comfy, but they shouldn't be tearing away from the sole after a month of wearing that's just not right. I recommend them, for super comfy shoes but I wouldn't fork out 60$ for them, no way.

Diamonds In The Rough
Her sun kissed skin glistened in the warm southern California sun, her honey blonde hair bounced as she walked down Rodoe Drive. She isn't very tall, you would usually see her with coffee and her cell phone in hand.
Chapter One: There She Goes:
Tomorrow is senior graduation, and my final day in the states. I am very sad to leave and to graduate, most of all I am going all alone. I texted my best friend Karli to see if she wanted to go to Rodoe with me. I was wearing a short length black and white Boho dress and simple black heels. I started walking to Karli's house so we could go together. I am going to miss her when I leave. After a ten minute drive, we finally made it to Rodoe. We went to a little local coffee shop near by and got our soy mocha's, then we went and did our best exercise S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G! When Karli and I get together, we are all laughs and smiles. By the time we got back to my house our stomachs hurt from laughing so hard and all the pizza we ate.
Karli spent the night so she could me get ready for my graduation in the morning. She lightly curled my long honey blonde hair in loose wavy curls, while I looked for what perfume I was going to wear to graduation. My mama came up to my room and gave me my cap and gown. It kind of matched the shoes I was wearing. Then it was time to be out the door and sitting for our names to be called, after 4 1/2 hours the graduation was over. I had to rush home and started loading all my luggage in to the trunk of the Cadillac. I had my done differently then earlier in the day, I used a scarf around my hair with my House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea sunglasses, with black leggings, a cream slouchy tank top, and a black cardigan paired with black ballerina slippers. I got out of my car as did my mama, as she got out tears rolled down our cheeks; we kissed each others cheeks and said our "see you later"s . I stood straight up with my head held high as I put my luggage on the luggage scanner. All I brought as a carry on was my cell phone and my laptop. When I got to the waiting area. my friends were there to say "see you later" for a few months. Then my flight number was called- Sweden here I come!
I've never left the states, let alone be on an airplane and all by myself. I can only hope they allow you to listen to music on the flight, I'll be in the air for 8hrs.
Chapter Two: Beautiful Place:
Sweden was even prettier then all of the photos I've seen of it. I have no idea where I am suppose to go in this country. All my information is saved in my email, that I can't access yet. Lucky for me I speak Swedish. Its not as cold as I thought it was going to be over here. Ring.....ring....ring......ringggg... "hello?"I answered "are you at the airport?" she asked "umm yeah I'm by the main gate." I replied back "alright, I'll be there in fifteen minutes." she replied and hung up. I'm pretty sure that was my friend Mathilda being she's going to be showing me around Sweden and hitting up all of shopping sites.
All I really know is that I am starving and in dire need of some coffee. My phone started going crazy with text messages - "10" missed phone calls. I don't dare to call since there is such a huge time difference. Finally Mathilda was here, "I'm Mathilda!" she said, "I'm Heather" " so Mathilda, where can a girl get some pizza and a coffee?" I asked. It is really weird hanging out with someone you don't really know all that well. I somehow managed to do it. Basically, I came to this beautiful place called Sweden to explore their music, fashion, food, lifestyle and just to see how life here was different from that in California.
Mathilda is going to show me all the shopping spots, the best coffee spots in Stockholm, just all of Stockholm by foot. Next month we are going to her town Orebro. Where Mathilda will show me more shopping and coffee spots again. I swear, no matter where I go, I always find a Starbuck or a coffee shop. I know I am addicted, to me the best addiction. I think I love this girl, mostly due to she loves shopping, drinking coffee- the makings for the greatest trip of my life! Besides, good food, great shopping, amazing coffee, and their concerts- more like festivals. They are so much fun. I think this trip is going to be worth everything.
The days I'm not with Mathilda I am in my hotel room talking to my family and friends back in in Bel Air, California. I miss them so much. I'm excited in two days I am visiting Helsinki, Uusima, Finland, I've always wanted too see Finland. My phone started singing "Hej, what's up?" I answered "Just packing for Finland. Are you about ready?" Mathy said " I am ready when you are." I replied, "I'll be there in five minutes." She said and then hung up. We have to take a ferry to Helsinki's bay then we are in the beautiful Finland for a week of shopping and fashion blogg events with us both!
I honestly didn't think Mathilda and I would have so much in common and I didn't think I'd enjoy having her around like I do. She is so sweet and very helpful. I want to bring her back to Bel Air with me, and I can show her a good time is Southern California, like she has for me here in Sweden! The past month has been the best time of my life. I cannot thank her enough, we've been having so much out here, I can't wait to come back.
Chapter Three: Welcome to Helsinki Finland:
We finally arrived to Finland, and it is just as beautiful as Sweden. I just love Scandinavia, its just so gorgeous over here. One of the reasons why Mathilda and I are here in Helsinki, Finland for a week is for Fashion week, with all the popular fashion bloggers. Not only that but more shopping is happening, and its great. We have been spending a lot of time outside and at the beaches lately since the weather is so nice, we are taking full advantage of it to the fullest extent. Why not? Nice hot weather, beautiful beaches? Come on, you'd be an idiot if you didnt' take up that offer! So we are taking full advantage of it. While I've been here in Sweden and in Finland, I've landed a temporary job at a cafe. I don't know what I have back home in the states, and I'd rather save that money for my family back home, plus I have car payments for the graduation present I received. I miss it so much, I only had her for an hour, and she still smells like a new car! Best smell in the whole wide world that's for sure, besides new shoe smell I love that smell. I am so happy we were able to come to out to Finland. I guess I am some what popular over here, because cameras were constantly going off. I forgot all about my little fashion line back home called "Vaahtokaramelli Couture" meaning "Marshmallow Couture", I like to keep it looking cute, but very fashion forward.
"heather, come look!" Mathilda yelled across the court yard, " Heather in Finland with new best friend from Sweden!" headlined a magazine in Finland. I don't even do anything cool, I only model, shop, drink too much coffee, and fashion blog. What's so cool about that? Or does have anything to do with I look similar to Nicole Richie? Or my little clothing/jewelry line I have back home? Who knows, its so hard to find out about these things. I mean I've always wanted to be famous, well infamous about something worth being famous over, like having a charity or being in band and selling out stadiums and changing kids lives. Maybe, Mathilda and I are in this magazine for the Fashion week with all the Fashion Bloggers. That seems more realistic then what I've been shooting out of my head at this point.
Fashion week is finally over and Mathilda and I are heading back to Sweden to just leave to go to Orebro, I'll be there for two months and then I am heading back down to Stockholm to leave for LA, can't wait to see the sunny California coast line! "Mathy, I have a question to ask you?" I asked, " Go ahead." she replied, " I was wondering if you'd like to go to California with me? I can show you all the shopping spots, you could stay in the guest bedroom of my house. I'd just love to repay you for all of your kindness you've shown me in Sweden." I said. " I'd love to go to California!" Mathy said, " Sweet! two months and we will be see the Hollywood sign!" I exclaimed.
We've been in Orebro for a month and its such a great, cute little town. I love it here, even more then Stockholm. I have a new love for Cheap Monday, I love their stuff its so amazing, and great quality, we've gone to the gym, the beach, and we've just done so much in the past month its great! I can't get over how beautiful Sweden's towns are, I wish more of the United States were this clean and cared about how the cities looked.
