Black Dresses
“every girl needs a little black dress”
I thought I would do a post on black dresses since I am quite a fan. I have been playing a bit with the photos and it turns out that I quite like black and white pictures.
I’m quite fond of the material that was used for this dress.

Facelift
In Project Mode is back and better!
When I drew this picture I thought that I needed a new start on this blog. So I gave it a little facelift and made this post. I hope you will enjoy my ‘new’ blog!
5 ways to make your day better!
I’m back!
I’m going to be honest with you and say it out loud: I’ve had a break from blogging this past month because I’ve not really had the extra energy i usually have.
There I said it, so I really am going to be much more active from now on. Not that anyone would care very much if I were more active, but it keeps me busy.
I have really noticed that the weather in Copenhagen is a bit (or a lot) depressing. It’s like one day the sun is shining and it’s mild outside and everyone’s like: “spring has come, I’m so happy – blah, blah, blah…”. Then the next day, what do you know suddenly we’ve gone back to snow! What is up with that?!
Anyway, that is why I made this blog post, because if you feel the same way as me, here are some very good tips to lighten up your day.
- When your stuck in a rutt and you feel like a change, it sometimes helps to do something different. You don’t have to change a lot, a little bit is enough. Fx, the other day my little sister encouraged me to sleep with my head in the foot-end of my bed, and that was enough to change my day a little bit.
- In the middle of the day (on a sunny day) you can usually see the sun hit the wall inside. Take a look at it for just a while, just enough to appreciate it. It always makes me happy.
- Okay, I don’t want to sound like some little perfect, weirdo girl. But if you bake something for your family Friday night, you for one thing get to enjoy it yourself but you also make the rest of the people eating it happy.
- Spoil yourself just a little bit. Put ice in you water or maybe a straw. Enjoy!
- Don’t wear something you don’t feel like wearing, your obviously making sure on beforehand that your day will be terrible! Probably the best advice in this post.

Instagram!
HI!
Today is the last day of the school holidays and our internet and TV wasn’t working in the neighborhood last night and this morning. So I’ve been exploring my dad’s iPad and the apps on it. And I have heard a lot about Instagram and I see pictures on facebook made on Instagram. I actually think that it is really fun to take pictures with it. I like the styles you change your pictures into. Especially one called ‘Earlybird’.
I’ve been having quite a lot of fun with it. My auntie also shares pictures of my 7 month old cousin on Facebook by Instagram, and the pictures are really cool.
I can really recommend it!

A dangerous cocktail: New years eve and a (reading) jetlag!
WELCOME 2012!
I hope you had a lovely christmas and a happy new year, I certainly was ready for that holiday! I had a really nice time at my gran and granda’s place in Ireland this christmas. We just got home the 30th – even though the time difference is only one hour, it seems that this “jet lag” mixed with a late new years eve results in insomnia.
Yes, so here I am at something past two in the morning blogging – because I’ve simply managed to do everything else since eleven (when I went to bed). What I’ve been doing since eleven:
- 11: Talking to my little sister (who I by the way am having a “sleep-over” with tonight) about how annoyingly hot it is in our room.
- 11:30: Tossing and turning after the light has been turned of (and the radiator!). I’m just thinking: I am never going to sleep ever again!
- 00:00: Turning on the lights (Ciara asleep), walking upstairs to tell my parents I can’t sleep. Response: “Go read for a while…”
- 1:30: Tadah! Done reading my daily couple of chapters of Breaking Dawn. Still not tired!
- 1:45: Tell my parent (who have now gone to bed) that I can’t sleep. Walk into the living room – see the computer…
- 1:50: BLOG! About my awesome (sarcastic) life.
I was actually going to blog about a christmas eve outfit – but the pictures for it aren’t finished, yet.
I think my sleeplessness has come because of all the late staying up over the christmas and the late night last night (New Years Eve!)
Wish you all the luck in the new year!

Pictures taken by our friend Beth.I have no energy & Merry Christmas!
No, no, no, no… NO! Whatever you are thinking, I do not need sleep. Because you see the sort of exhaustion that I am going through right now, is not lack of sleep. But what makes a person even more exhausted is the fact that when they try to tell people every day that the need just a little break, the only 1, single line that you get stuck right into your face is “You need sleep!”. I mean isn’t this always what you have been told: “Remember, you should always tell us how you feel.” But no-no when you then eventually tell people how you feel, it just seems like, it hasn’t popped into the people’s mind that: “Ok, maybe this certain person actually needs a break from whatever is tiring this person out, (homework, too much responsibility, not enough parent support – though I’m only going through the homework thing).
So I’m sorry – but that is why I haven’t blogged since November 19th + wordpress has been acting weird on my school computer.
Luckily my christmas holidays already start on Friday (3 days) and then I’m going to Ireland on Sunday (5 days)! But don’t worry I’m not depressed, I’m still happy, hyper, silly Aisling – it’s just a phase, I have fun at school and stuff 
appreciate life,
Aisling
Update
Hi,
I am really happy! For two reasons at the time:
- I watched Breaking Dawn! And it was surprisingly sad, I cried through the entire end. I’ve waited for like a year since I read the book for this movie to come out. Unfortunately my friend Klara (who I read the book with) watched it Wednesday – that was too bad, but it’s fine.
- My whole “More young bloggers… blah-blah”-thing is coming true. When I made that post I was alone – I didn’t know any other bloggers my age. But now I have several friends blogging – and the fantastic thing is I was only a little bit involved in it. Here’s how it started: I set my friend Hanna up on WordPress (she unfortunately switched to blogspot.com) and then she inspired our friend Nynne to start. And our friend Emmy also started a photoblog about her life somewhere in between those two. So a wish really can come true – poetic, right.
Changing the subject: I really want to blog more about the original category of this blog, fashion. But I just don’t seem to be able to find anything fashion related to blog about. I just don’t want to be one of those (excuse me but, fake) bloggers that only blog about themselves and their style. I want to set an example fro people to not be fake on their blogs, because that is just the very worst thing that you can do on your blog: Be unnatural, you’re only kidding yourself. In all seriousness, if the internet is on it’s way to a sky of fakes… I’m going to leave the internet forever. Drama Queen!
I also changed my header. I quite like it because I have been trying to get a good header for a long time, the only minus is that it isn’t taken on a very good camera – but I just think that as long as I like it, it will do.

Parents…
Hello! Quick warning:
If your name is Ole or Kerry Kassow, you might not want to read this blog post…
You may well notice the ‘…’ in the title. I have found parents very… uhm… disagreeing in a way. It’s just as out of nowhere they change and turn against you (some of the time). And they don’t seem to understand you 100% – they are like aliens from mars. But they can also be understanding when they want to, and even though the are nice and helpful and I do love them, they just – argh – really sometimes get on my nerves.
But with all this said and if certain Kerry and Ole people read this despite the warning, I would like to praise their cooking. And that they are very nice people that do very nice things for their children – pay for clothes, holidays, food and all these things that I’m very grateful for.

Bored in School
Hi,
My friends Nynne and Matilde got a bit bored in the break between maths class and the lunch break – so we took some pictures with Photo Booth (which btw to me is the best application ever for the MacBook).
Celebrating life with new technology!
