Inspirez-moi

Another beautiful day in France, which is gonna be spent in Cannes. Actually not celebrity-hunting, but sun-bathing on the, hopefully, beautiful beach. I’m gonna go with two Swedish girls from my hotel, who are on an Inter rail trip around Europe.

Hope to get some tan today. Need it, but afraid I’m gonna turn in to a lobster. Anyways, it’s gonna be nice for once being on a beach with actual sand! ( The beach in Nice = stones, stones and stones)

Pictures will be out soon! Au revoir!

The woman in the mirror

‘I was blind. Now I see. I’d forgotten what the colors really looked like. I’d forgotten all the shapes existed. I’d seen too much, so I turned blind. My blindness I couldn’t even see.

Today I dared to take a look. I opened up my firmly shut eyes. And what a sight! What a delight, clear picture that revealed itself from the shadows. Words come short in describing such joy, such beauty. Only eyes can see. Mine are open. Looking. Living.’

Welcome to my blog. Excusemi is a blog of inspiration. Inspiration in life, art, design and fashion. There will be words and pictures. Some with wisdom others maybe not. But in the end I hope someone out there can feel some kind of inspiration from reading this blog.

Who am I? My name is Helene. I’m from Norway. 20 years old. Currently living in Oslo, but moving to Nice, France in less than 2 weeks. I call myself an artist. That just simplifies a long explanation. But for you I will try;I’ve been a dancer (ballet, jazz and contemporary) for many years, but not as much anymore, I’ve studied graphic design, I make and design my own clothes, I’m drawing all the time and couldn’t be without it, I love everything that’s called art, design and fashion. Etc…. Therefor: I’m an artist. An artistic soul at least.

Well, enough said. I’m a 20 years old artistic soul moving to France the 16th of May.

Au revoir.
