4 of july celebration

2009-07-05T18:21:00.002+02:00

Hope you all had a wonderful 4 of July weekend! I spent the weekend sunbathing by the sea and reading magazines. In the evening I barbecued with friends, had some good food and great wine. I had a blast in my new outfit, which was a real bargain on sale.
Top: H&M, shorts: Lindex and shoes of ebay.

New summer dress

2009-06-26T23:15:00.004+02:00

Outfit: Dress: H&M, Shoes: Bianco, Sunglasses: Ray-Ban and vintage Chanel handbag.
I am in love. You all know I love dresses, and this cought my eye right away. It reminds me of something of the Gucci spring catwalk. But at a price I can afford. I love the blue snakeskin print.

After a crazy day at the office, I mean can you believe the King of Pop is dead? Michael Jackson was one of my favorite artists and style icons in the late 80s. It still feels surreal and very sad that he has passed. I will always remember him as a style icon with that sequin glove, military jackets (so Balmain) and sequined jackets. Billy Jean is a classic I will never tire off.

I also popped by Zara today, and got some amazing high heels in blue on sale that goes perfect with this dress. Summer indeed. Happy friday, everyone!

Hope you all had an amazing weekend, I know I did. Summer has arrived in Oslo and I could not be more happy. For a party with new colleagues I choose sequins and jeans, as that always is a winner in my book. And yes, I have a thing for those Aldo shoes! Hope you all have a wonderful sunday!

Stripes

2009-05-14T20:10:00.003+02:00

Jacket: Tonica Vintage, t-shirt, Old Levis shorts and shoes from Aldo.

I have never been a fan of the navy and sailor style. Maybe because it sometimes is to much. But this t-shirt from H&M is a new favorite for spring. Its fresh, fun and just the right touch of this style. Oh and I also got to see H&Ms fall collection today, and it looks amazing. Cant wait to wear it in the fall, but for now I am enjoying my summer days.

The LBD, My Way

2009-05-06T21:10:00.004+02:00

Dress: Cubus, Shoes: Aldo, Bracelets: Vintage.

This Weekend we got a taste of summer and it was amazing. I cant wait to wear my summer dresses and this new LDB, that I was a bargain at saturdays shopping spree. I love the fabric, the lines, it is so simple, yet so beautiful. Will you be wearing a LDB this summer? Dont forget to check out all my daily updates at minMote!
PS: I had some problems with my domaine, but thats all fixed now.

Spring in Copenhagen

2009-04-18T11:48:00.000+02:00

Spending easter break in Copenhagen was a wonderful experience. Not only was it much warmer than Oslo, it was a feast for the eyes and the senses. As you might have guessed, I love to travel. It gives me new energy and inspiration in a whirlwind world. Dont miss out on the beautiful castles and mansions outside of the city. Only ten minutes away by train lies lovely Charlottenlund.

There is always people enjoying the sun at the Rådhusplassen. Sit in the sun, listen to music and watch people walk on by.

Wearing: Trench from Lindex, tights H&M, Shoes of ebay, Scarf pashmina and Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag. When sighsteeing, I like to be both comfortable and stylish. I dont walk for hours and hours in high heels, because then I know I will have to go back and change. Worth seeing is Tivoli, shopping at Strøget, Charlottenlund, the little Mermaid (the statue bye the sea), the round tower. Eat at ChitChat and Søren K.

And visit all the small vintage and secondhandshops in the city. Glam in Silkegade has beautiful party dresses and lots of accessories.

TimesUp is more exclusive and has vintage pieces from YSL, Balenciaga and Christian Dior. A little more expensive, but great items, so a must see. I also visited Wasteland, The Second Way and Carmen and Fantasio. Read my Norwegian post at minmote. Inspite of all the lovely shops, I did not score that much vintageitems, due to the fact that a lot of the dresses were so big in size. But I managed to grab some bracelets and a jacket. After that we went shopping at Strøget and I manged to pick up these two pairs of shoes from Aldo.

I also recomend a visit to the shoppingcenters Magasinet and Illum to check out the Danish designers, Holly Golightly and Marc Jacobs. What I love about this city is that most shops are in walking distance, so you just put on your best shoes and start the adventure.

Have a great weekend!

Holiday

2009-04-10T10:40:00.001+02:00

Wearing: Voice of Europe jacket, Gina Tricot skirt, Sweater and scarf from H&M, Boots F21.

Som dere kanskje har skjønt, har det foregått mye med bloggen i det siste. Jeg kan nå røpe at VG Nett imorgen lanserer minMote, som er et nettsted for mote, skjønnhet, tilbehør og shopping. Jeg flytter bloggen min over til minMote, som jeg har meget stor tro på. Nettstedet er en blanding av artikler, video og blogg og her burde det være noe for enhver fashionista. Imorgen får dere se alt vi har jobbet med den siste tiden. Jeg er stolt av være med i et team som har laget en nettside som jeg tror vil appellere til alle jenter med sans for mote. Gled dere til spennende intervjuer, forbrukersaker, de siste trendene fra Hollywood og mye mer. Vi lanserer imorgen, så gå inn på VG Nett og sjekk ut minMote. Håper dere blir med meg over til den nye bloggen, her er linken.

As I have mentioned before, I got some very exciting news regarding the blog. I am moving to a new Norwegian fashion site called minMote. My blog looks like the design pictured, and I could not have been more excited. I am very proud to be a part of such an amazing team, and can not wait to see the reactions to the site tomorrow. The site is not up yet, so I will be posting the link as soon as possible tomorrow. My hope is that you will continue to read my blog and visit me on the new site. I want to appologize for not commenting back lately, it has been kind of crazy. But I will be visiting you all very soon!

Miami here I come

2009-03-21T20:46:00.004+01:00

Jacket: Zara, Jeans: Acne, Tee: Gina Tricot
Don Johnsen som Sonny Crockett i kultserien Miami Vice, smeltet mange ungpikehjerter på 80-tallet (inkludert undertegnede). Nå har jeg lenge vært på jakt etter den perfekte hvite blazeren. På Zara fant jeg denne modellen og kombinert med korall t-skjorten fra Gina (helt tilfeldig) er jeg rett tilbake i solfylte Miami. Den hvite blazeren skal også brukes som vårjakke, til svart som sett på Mary-Kate Olsen under Fashion Week og mye mye annet. Og ja, det rosa Iphone coveret er skikkelig girly og skaper alltid reaksjoner fra gutta på jobben. Men jeg digger fargen og det er vel det som betyr noe?

I am giving Don Johnsen in the 80s series Miami Vice a run for his money. I remember watching the series with all the white suits, pink, green and peach colors. It was pure coincidence that I had on the coral Gina t-shirt, but I must say that I like the look for summer. I am going to use the jacket with black, as seen on Mary-Kate during New York Fashion Week, with jeans and over summer dresses. Have a wonderful Saturday!

TV-Interview

2009-03-20T10:10:00.006+01:00

Se meg gi fotballtrenerne terningkast her. Dette var supermorsomt, håper fotballgutta tar det med en porsjon humor!

Watch me give the soccer coaches thumbs up or down for their outfits on match. It was so much fun I could hardly keep serious! Thanks so much for your lovely comments. Update:

Wearing Current Elliott jeans, Military jacket from H&M, Scarf from BikBok. Now I am getting my hair done and having drinks with the girls. Just lovely.

Sun & Fun

2009-03-18T19:54:00.004+01:00

Jacket: CC-Girl, Grey Cardigan & Scarf: Vero Moda, Pink Cardigan: Vintage, Jeans: Acne, Sunnies: H&M, Shoes: Lille vinkel, Handbag: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Det fantastiske været har en utrolig påvirkning på humøret mitt, alt er så mye letter når det er sol. Det var så utrolig deilig å kunne ta på seg en skinnjakke med en ullkardigan under, istedenfor alle de store vinterjakkene. Spaserte hjem etter en begivenhetsrik dag på jobb hvor jeg blant annet ble intervjuet om fotballtrenernes stil på kamp (supermorsomt, så skal linke når det kommer ut) og mye mye mer.

It seems that Spring finally has decided to pay us a little visit, and I could not be happier. Just a little sun is enough to put me in a great mood and give me more energy. I love the fact that today I could just put on a leather jacket and a cardigan, instead of all the winter jackets. Heaven indeed.

This Weeks Bargain

2009-03-17T21:37:00.003+01:00

Forever21
Disse skoene fra Forever21 er rålekre og et kupp til under 200 kroner. Perfekte med strømper i, når det nå blir tørt på bakken. Kjenner du at våren kommer?

Love these fab shoes from Forever 21. They are a steal at 27 dollars and will be perfect for Spring weather. If the snow will ever disapear I can use them with tights before it gets warm enough to wear them barefoot.

Sunny Side Up

2009-03-15T22:22:00.002+01:00

Jacket: Vintage of ebay, Jeans: Citizen of Humanity, Shoes: Uggs, Beanie: H&M, Sunnies: Oliver Peoples, Sun: Amazing
Endelig en smak av vår! Sol, nydelig kaffe og godt selskap gjør søndagen perfekt.

Finally a taste of Spring! As you can see, its still a lot of snow. Sun, good coffee and great company, is always a winner in my book.

Makeup Testing: Smashbox lippgloss

2009-03-15T19:31:00.000+01:00

Photo: Beautybasket

Jeg er den jenta som til enhver tid har 4-5 lipglosser i vesken. Jeg elsker å prøve nye farger og var spent da jeg skulle teste ut Smashbox sin nye lipgloss Lip Paint, i fargen Artiste. Siden jeg har så mange forskjellige merker allerede, er jeg veldig kresen når det kommer til farge, konsistens og glans. Lip Paint er derfor altfor fet og klissete for meg, men passer dem som liker en litt seig konsistens. Fargen var kjempefin, men dette var ingen ny lipglossfavoritt for meg.

I always have about 4-5 different lip glosses in my handbag. I like different colors for day and night, summer and winter. When I tried out the latest lipgloss Lip Paint from Smashbox I was very disappointed. The gloss is far to sticky and I did not like the taste of it (I wonder how much lippstick and gloss women swallow every year?). The only thing I liked was the color, but thats not enough in my book.

Coffee and Magazines

2009-03-14T15:24:00.005+01:00

Outfit: Jacket: Lindberg (from Tonica), Cardigan: Vero Moda, Dress: Cubus, Leggings: Target, Boots: Vintage, Handbag: Vintage, Coffee: Cafe Latte

Er det ikke deilig med de dagene det egentlig skjer svært lite? Idag har vært en slik dag. En liten tur ut resulterte i en deilig kaffe latte og et par moteblader, så nå er jeg veldig fornøyd. Som jeg nevnte i forrige post, er jeg i disse tider opptatt av å bruke de plaggene jeg allerede har på en ny måte. Du kan si at jeg shopper i mitt eget klesskap (anbefales på det sterkeste). Denne vesken kjøpte jeg på et loppemarked ifjor for 15 kroner og den minner meg om en veske bestemor hadde da jeg var liten. Den passer like fint til et hverdagsantrekk som til fest. Ha en fin lørdag!

After a tough week, I decided that I was going to relax and really do as little as possible. But of course I had to pick up my favorite coffee and a stack of new magazines. As mentioned in my last post, I am shopping in my own closet these days. I picked up this vintage clutch at a flea market last year for about two dollars, and I love it. It reminds me of something my grandma used to have. I think it works both for day and night. Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone! PS: I misunderstood, so my friend (and hairdresser) are coming to town next weekend. Thats leaves me with a week to think about that new haircut.

My Day

2009-03-13T09:34:00.007+01:00

Breakfastshopping at H&M. Madness, croissants and coffee.

New trends: Color, flower prints, animal prints, baggy jeans, zipper details, leather jackets and so much more. I ended up buying two tops, one in animal print and one black with butterfly arms.

After a day at work, it was time for more work and check out the latest in wedding trends.

A touch of red for the daring girls on the catwalk at Christiania Glassmagasin.
Big boquets in different shapes and styles.
Hard at work, or having fun at work. Interviewing Anne Karlsen about the latest wedding trends. Tulle, chiffon and lace seemed to dominate the catwalk. Wearing a old H&M jacket with the puff shoulders, that are coming back this season (I am finding a lot of oldies in my closet lately).

Igår startet dagen med frokostshopping på H&M. Det var helt sinnsykt mye mennesker og i et øyeblikk skulle man ikke tro at vi er midt oppe i en finanskrise. Selv om jeg synes det var helt umenneskelig å shoppe, klarte jeg å få med meg to topper, en croissant og kaffe. Deretter bar det videre på jobb, før kvelden ble avsluttet med brudevisning på Glassmagasinet. Der var det mange gifteklare som hadde møtt opp for å finne frem i bryllupsjungelen. Årets brudekjoletrender går i chiffon, tyll og blonder. Skal du stå brud, er det mye å glede seg til. Sjekk ut innslaget på VGTV her.

Yesterday I had a whirlwind day. Fun, fun fun. The day started with breakfastshopping at H&M, then I was off to more work before going home to change before the evenings TV-job. Scouting out the latest trends in bridal fashion is always fun, and I had a blast as always. When I finally made it home at ten pm I was exhausted, but in a good way. I guess you all know the feeling. You can see my videosegment here.

To Do or Not To Do

2009-03-10T08:00:00.001+01:00

Til helgen kommer frisøren min til byen. Hun er ikke bare frisøren min, men en av mine beste venninner. Jeg gleder meg til å se henne, prate over litt vin og selvfølgelig diskutere håret mitt. Jeg elsker stilen til Sienna Miller i Alfie og skulle gjerne ha hatt denne looken. Det er så utrolig fresht når du kan ha litt pannelugg som her, alt blir så mye tøffere. Nå har jeg allerede hatt pannelugg en gang (men det så ikke så bra ut), derfor vet jeg ikke helt om jeg tørr. Men det er iallefall noe å tenke på til helgen kommer. Har du ikke sett Alfie, leier du den idag, om så kun får å se på klærne, sminken og håret. Lovely!

This weekend my lovely friend and hairdresser is coming to town. She is one of my best friends and I cant wait to see her, have some wine and discuss my hair. I am debating a small change, some bangs like Sienna had in the movie Alfie. However, Sienna was amazing in the clothes, the smokey makeup and the hair, but I am not so sure it will look that hot on me. You see, I had bangs before, but they were nothing like these. But I can always think about it before the weekend comes...If you have not seen the movie, you should, if only for the clothes, makeup and hair.
