(my little sister, Miriam)

Yesterday I turned 23. It was the best birthday I’ve had since I was a little girl, probably because of the best boyfriend, the best friends and the best family in the world (thank you so much, guys!). I got a new bag, hair accessories, flowers, clothes and chocolates – and Boyfriend earned something like a trillion boyfriend points when he got me a Bamboo (which I’ve suitably named just Bam).

For those of you out there who aren’t supernerds, Bam is a so-called “pen tablet”, which in not-nerdy-language means it’s like a pen and paper, only you can plug it into your computer and create magic with it. I’ve played around with it and my MacBook ever since I got it (taking some breaks, naturally, to eat cake with Boyfriend and Boo, to be surprised with a country-fied version of the birthday song and to watch Dead Man), and I’m so much in love I consider permanently attaching it to my body somehow. You can do everything with Bam! Below are a couple of things I’ve played around with, just to give you an idea. Expect more Bamified photos to come (although I’ll try to give them a more fashionable twist in the future – this is supposed to be a fashion blog, after all).

My sister’s very fashionable friend Sigrid (you don’t mind, do you, darling?)
