Lazy blogger with the best excuse

2012-01-24T20:17:00.003+01:00

I'm the worst blogger in the world, but check out my good excuse! I'm in love!!

Hope you're all doing well - I'm enjoying life as a mum to my 5 weeks old baby Nora.

My love for this Triwa

2011-12-09T12:22:00.001+01:00

I've been drooling over this Triwa watch for a long time, but since it's huge on my thin wrists I've never bought it. But I couldn't resist it when I found it at only 500NOK at the Kaare Lund sale yesterday. Merry Christmas to me!

If you haven't been there yet, go today (last day)!

Triwa watch in Greystone Chrono. Retail price is about 1295NOK.

LAST DAY AT KAARE LUND TODAY!

Sweet morning

2011-12-01T12:05:00.001+01:00

I spent my morning at Kaffebrenneriet with fresh magazines, coffe and a snack today. Nice.

I'm on maternity leave since I'm due in only 2,5 weeks,. It's a privilege to be able to spend my days fixing the new house, having coffee and prepare for christmas, baby and all that is to come.

Louis Vuitton agenda, fresh copy of Costume, Rom 123 and a double latte with a scone. Yum!

Moving out

2011-11-12T17:15:00.001+01:00

This weekend is all about organizing too much stuff in a mountain of boxes. We're moving out!

Online shopping...I wish...

2011-11-05T23:55:00.000+01:00

I came over this supernice online store the other day and I wish I could spend my money on regular clothes... But no can do, since I'm the humongous stranded walrus with only 6 weeks to due date...

So here's a hot tip to you normal ones: check out chicwish.com

Low prices and worldwide shipping! Yay!

ENJOY!

Tim Walker Pictures

2011-10-24T22:30:00.003+02:00

I caved under pressure and finally bought this amazing Tim Walker book at Amazon.com.

Such an inspiring piece that'll definitely be the main object on my coffee table for a long while.

Gotta love Amazon...

Heart pendant from my sweetheart

2011-10-15T11:57:00.000+02:00

When I came home from work yesterday my sweetheart had a wonderful surprise for me!

He wanted to give a heart pendant and lucky me I got the most amazing one!

I'm totally in love with this silver anatomic heart from the great designer Bjørg.

I love the rough and raw touch this necklace represents.

Black silver anatomic heart, uncut 209, Full Black Plated, 925 Silver.

Self made

2011-10-13T20:02:00.000+02:00

Wore my self made Swarovski bling today. I love when the sun hits it - beautiful colours everywhere!

A shopping downer...almost that is...

2011-10-11T18:39:00.000+02:00

It's just not fun shopping while being pregnant and it's not fun opening the closet every morning being reminded of what I can't wear. When that's said I have to admit that I couldn't resist this super hot trench coat I found online the other day...

Air mail hitting my mailbox soon!

Starry warmth

2011-10-11T18:17:00.002+02:00

Fall is definitely here and I've been wearing my new scarf from the Danish brand Kudibal. It's 100% wool and it keeps me nice and warm these cold fall mornings.

Defining my Kabukis

2011-10-09T16:04:00.002+02:00

Today I've been treating my make up brushes with love and this cure I got from Define. It's a pain doing it but it feels great when I'm finished, knowing that I have fresh, clean and like new brushes to use.

PS! The Protein Repair from Define is actually really good for my hair as well! Recommended.

2011-10-07T16:37:00.000+02:00

Elastics is the new black for me this fall!

My belly is growing rapidly and I can't say how much I hate maternity clothing. Awful design and since I'm a petite I'm not computing with maternity wear starting at size EUR 36 at all.

Sweet quiet Saturdays

2011-09-17T10:34:00.003+02:00

I love to wake up early spending lazy Saturdays reading Harper's Bazaar and other magazines. Enjoying a cup of tea in the quiet before freshing up to meet my lovely girlfriends for lunch in the fall sun.

Enjoy your Saturday, you wonderful ones!

Amazing lamb-leather bomber from Balmain's FW 2012-collection. Wonder where I can get $8200...?

I do not regret buying this jacket...I do not regret buying this jacket...

2011-09-11T17:26:00.000+02:00

I bought this amazing jacket at Zara on Saturday. I shouldn't have done it before cleaning out my closet first of course... I have tons of jackets, I should save money and it will be difficult to zip it over my growing belly...

...but I couldn't resist it and I do not regret it! Hooray!

Jacket from Zara, silk dress from Gestuz, necklace from Indiska, tights from Topshop and booties from Bianco.

Chunky piece

2011-09-06T20:20:00.000+02:00

Remember I got this thing for chunky necklaces?

I got this cool piece at Indiska for 20NOK! What a bargain:)

Necklace from Indiska.

I won!

2011-09-04T18:01:00.001+02:00

YAY! I went to the Costume customer night at Høyer, Eger, with my friend the other night. And guess what? I won this amazing Marc By Marc Jacobs bag! How lucky am I? YAY!!

Marc By Marc Jacobs bag

Could these pass diaper bags?

2011-08-30T23:20:00.001+02:00

I guess not...so what could be my great excuse...?

I want a bag in a hot color like these lovely ones from Mulberry. I'm in love with the Tillie and the green Alexa is priceless.

2011-08-27T21:56:00.000+02:00

I'm in pain! I love my beautiful dress from Gestuz, but have to give someone else the chance to look gorgeous in it since it's too big for me...unfortunately. I'm an 34 and the dress is 36.

My boyfriend brought me a new baby from London yesterday, a pair of Kurt Geiger Siennas.

I love them!

But what I love even more is our baby in my belly:-)

I've been Shellac'ed

2011-08-23T19:16:00.000+02:00

Today I got my nails done at a cute beauty salon at Bislet called Bli Z på Bislett. I tried Shellac for the first time and I'm so happy with the results! For 550NOK I got super fresh nails with french tips. It should stay on for two weeks and they remove it for free at Bli Z. Like it?

Shellac with french tips/manicure.

You can also get Shellac in bright colours and I think I'll try this on my toes next time I'll drop by

the salon.

Wish I could extend summer...

2011-08-23T19:08:00.001+02:00

I love the body butter with Guava, the body peeling and this year I got hold of their super nail polishes.

Korres, made in Greece.

Chunky necklaces

2011-08-15T19:58:00.001+02:00

I still have this thing for chunky necklaces and I love that it's getting easier to get my hands on them in stores. It took a while for them to arrive, but they seem to pop up here and there and to reasonable prices as well. Would you wear them?

22nd of July 2011

2011-07-24T15:30:00.000+02:00

I will never forget the 22nd of July 2011. My thoughts go out to my fellow norwegians.

My boyfriend and I have been walking around in Oslo these last days, holding hands and showing our respect.

I'm off to Greece!

2011-07-11T09:13:00.000+02:00

Home at last

2011-07-08T10:05:00.000+02:00

As you've understood I've been almost three weeks away with work, in Croatia. It's been a lot of work, but that's what I love. I'm home at last, repacking my bags for a holiday i Greece.

On my way home-outfit: harempants from H&M, top from Gina Tricot, self-made necklace and shoes from Shoe Lounge.

I'm sorry!

2011-07-06T15:37:00.000+02:00

I'm sorry! I've been away with work for 16 days...and I'm still in Croatia waiting for my plane to leave... Finally summer vacation! Have a nice summer everyone!

Been here with work, can't complain:-)

Alexander Wang T

2011-06-14T21:11:00.000+02:00

I've got new favourites in my wardrobe. The different Ts from Alexander Wang is something I can't live without anymore. My pick of the day is this plain tee in charcoal grey, but when the sun is shining I'll definitely take out my tank top as well.

It's finally summer...and I'm buying boots...

New love for Stella and her use og vegetarian materials

2011-05-29T13:29:00.001+02:00

"This item uses non leather, vegetarian materials with unique finishing and highly skilled manufacturing techniques. This retains our ongoing commitment to animal and eco friendly fashion." Stella McCartney.

I can't say how much I dig this! Kudos to McCartney for designing high fashion it-bags with the environment as a top priority. My boyfriend surprised me with this amazingly hot bag when he came home from his business trip to L.A. Kudos to my love.

Outfit: vegetarian Stella McCartney bag, army poncho from army shop in Normandie, tights from Topshop, boots from Bianco, nude silk tunic from Zara and my YSL arty oval ring.

What you see is not a Jelly Bean...

2011-05-25T18:27:00.000+02:00

I always think of Jelly Beans when I wear my yellow nail polish...

Sunday, lazy Sunday

2011-05-22T16:44:00.001+02:00

I love lazy Sundays! Don't you? It's been raining a lot today and I've just been out for a quick coffee with my friend. I'm planning to enjoy the rest of my Sunday on the couch with a stack of cheezy B-rated movies.

Today I'm wearing my shorts from Whyred, boots from Bianco, sweater from Mango, leather jacket from Flying A and Alexander Wang Diego Bucket bag.

I'll try to get better

2011-05-21T22:10:00.000+02:00

I am such a lazy blogger sometimes...I'll definitely try to get a grip. When days are hectic at work I don't find the time when I get home. I'll try to get better:-)

Going marine...tee and chinos from Gina Tricot, Nike Airs and eiffeltower necklace from Paris.

Today's outfit

2011-05-02T19:08:00.001+02:00

I'm blue

2011-04-26T17:16:00.000+02:00

Got this Isadora nail polish in a goodie bag. At first sight I found it to "smurfy", but then I figured - HEY - I love smurfs:-)

Isadora Wonder Nail, #700, Bel-Air Blue.

Maxing out for easter

2011-04-22T20:07:00.000+02:00

Don't you just love when people stop you in the middle of the street just to ask you where your pretty skirt is from? I sure do and I will definitely give more strangers compliments from now on.

Happy easter!

Skirt H&M, top Gina Tricot, Minx toenails.

Silver Minx

2011-04-14T16:59:00.000+02:00

Can't tell you how much I love Minx!! And when I got the fresh copy of ELLE the other day I felt that my silver nails really matched the outfit on the May cover:-)

Croatia

2011-04-13T14:59:00.000+02:00

I've been in Croatia with work the last days. Dubrovnik is such a beautiful city and I can't tell you how sweet it was to be able to wear bikini and do som tanning between my busy schedule.

Acne Comfortable

2011-04-06T19:29:00.000+02:00

I know I'll be using my new denim shirt from Acne a lot this summer. It's super comfy and soft. I love that Acne's baggy clothes are somewhat oversized but have a very feminine look at the same time.

The best part is that this shirt is a birthday gift from my girlfirends.

Outfit: Acne pants and shirt, grandma's gold bangle and self-made earrings.

LAQA&CO.

2011-04-03T12:55:00.000+02:00

Got the most wonderful belated birthday present yesterday. My friend gave me three LAQA&CO. nail polish pens (colours Blurple, Fancypants and a topcoat.) + two boxes of polish remover pads. I've just put on three coats of Fancypants and I used the topcoat as a base to prevent my nails from getting discoloured. You can buy these amazing products at beautiful Heaven Scent. The store is not longer at Majorstuen, Jacob Allsgt. You'll find it at Eger Shopping Center.

Last, but not least: aach pen comes in a box decorated by an artist or graphic designer who gets a percentage of each sold nail polish pen. Yay to that!

Going out

2011-04-02T19:06:00.000+02:00

I'm going out for dinner with my friend tonight. We're having Thai and mmm... I'm looking forward to it! Enjoy your Saturday!

Here's what I'm wearing.

Tights with "leather" front from H&M, top from Gina Tricot, boots from Aldo, Gucci scarf, YSL ring and self-made earrings.

Shiny knit

2011-04-02T17:44:00.000+02:00

I love mixing fabrics and today I combined my chunky knitted sweater with my shiny silver tights.

Tights from American Apparel, boots from Din Sko, sweater from Mango over a tank from Topshop.

New in...

2011-03-31T22:05:00.000+02:00

...and I promise to post a better photo of me wearing it tomorrow:-)

I feel that I'll be wearing this scarf a lot during spring as well...

Scarf/stole from Gucci

I've got the blues

2011-03-30T17:01:00.000+02:00

I'm not into over matching, but I've really got the blues today:-)

Today's outfit: jeans and cardigan from Topshop, boots from Bianco, tee from What Comes Around Goes Around and shades from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

New shades

2011-03-28T17:51:00.001+02:00

I went to the Krogh Optikk event the other day and had to buy a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs shades.

Now all I have to do is to wait for the sun to shine every day.

My outfit: jacket from Bik Bok, bag Alexander Wang Diego, boots Bianco, top H&M, bracelet Cecilie Melli, star necklace from Topshop and my new pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs shades.

Go Hanneli!

Self made

2011-03-25T23:38:00.001+01:00

I've been planning to make one of these bib necklaces for quite a while and I finally did it! I'm in love with the drop shaped Swarovskis.

Eagel necklace from Camilla Prydz and self-made Swarovski bib necklace.

Wang's Diego, my complicated love

2011-03-25T15:52:00.000+01:00

I find it amusing that my dearest Diego bucket bag from Wang is so clumsy to use. When I'm in a hurry I always end up trying to tuck my wallet and other things through the super narrow top hole and if I'm extra lucky I've left the inside zipper compartment open which results in all my stash ending up in the tiniest space ever. Hahaha! Do you feel me or am I the only one with this hilarious problem? :-)

Outfit: Diego bag, asos coat, tights from Topshop, scarf from Ilse Jacobsen, boots from Bianco and Raybans.

Hello cotton, goodbye wool

2011-03-24T13:01:00.000+01:00

I love the fact that colourful garments appear in the stores these days. I got my hands on one coral and one blueishgrey top the other day. So nice to wear bright colours and say hello to cotton in stead of wool.

Don't you agree?

Outfit: cotton top from Gina Tricot, tights from Topshop, boots from Bianco

Thank you to The Showmanship!

2011-03-23T22:06:00.001+01:00

I won a colourful and fun necklace from Fam Irvoll for Arts & Crafts, thanks to the beautiful The Showmanship. Check out her great blog here.

Haha, always a great result when I try to photograph myself...

Spring!

2011-03-21T16:00:00.000+01:00

Don't you just love the smell of spring! I was so excited when the sun was shining on Saturday, that I had to take out my spanking new Nikes.

Nike Air, coat H&M, pants Cubus, bag Alexander Wang and Ryabans

Heading for the mountains

2011-03-12T23:02:00.000+01:00

I'm heading for the mountains tomorrow. Been packing today, sure hope I haven't forgotten something.

2011-03-09T15:05:00.001+01:00

At H&M you can find really cool band t-shirts these days. I had to get the Guns N' Roses tee.

A classic if you ask me.

Tee from H&M, self-made necklace

Birthday present - I'm in heaven

2011-03-08T10:42:00.000+01:00

I'm the luckiest girl in the world. See what my boyfriend gave me for my birthday! And this is how my day started, can there be a better way to start your day?

Breakfast with blueberry muffins. Mmm...

Hurray! My Alexander Wang Diego Bucket bag in raisin!

Wishlist

2011-03-07T12:15:00.000+01:00

My birthday is tomorrow and I'm trying to make a wishlist... My coclusion is "giftcard at the Acne store" because I always find so much nice when I'm there. Check out these amazing Rider Lows in blue and beige. What do you think I should wish for?

DIY - I made one

2011-03-06T19:05:00.000+01:00

Inspired by Honestly...WTF I made this cute bracelet. The photos don't do the bracelet justice, but it turned out good all though I used four colours in stead of three.

Today's breakfast

2011-03-06T16:00:00.000+01:00

Look what my boyfriend made me for breakfast today! Mmmmm...so good...but I don't think I have to eat for a week or two...

Super nice Maple syrup from Jacobs.

New in

2011-03-06T13:09:00.000+01:00

I found a really nice pair of blue trousers at Bik Bok the other day. They are so comfortable and I love that they easiy can be combined with a blazer as a more formal look.

Haha, had to use the mirror as my helper...

Trousers from Bik Bok, grey boots from Din Sko, sweater from Rivers Island and old cherry necklace from Portobello Market in London (kinda reminds me of the Fam Irvoll for A&C collection that's out now)

Faux fur from Topshop and scarf from River Island.

What I'm looking forward to...

2011-03-03T22:40:00.000+01:00

I just have to say that I'm really looking forward to H&M opening their flagship store in Bogstadveien on the 10th of March. This is of course old news, but I just had to mention how sweet it will be:-) I live close by, so this will probably be hard on my wallet...

I passed the building today and I got a sneak peek - can't wait to se it all!

Five floors of H&M heaven opening in this building next week!

Turquoise

2011-03-03T09:05:00.000+01:00

I'm still in love with turquoise accessories and I really like turquoise combined with gold.

Ring from Accessorize and YSL arty oval.

Nail polish from H&M - gift from my sweet friend.

I told you I'd be wearing something red this weekend...

2011-02-27T19:39:00.000+01:00

I told you I'd be wearing something red this weekend and that I did. I bought a pair of coral red jeans that I know I'll be wearing when I need to add some colour my day.

I wore my my jeans from Cubus with my beaded sweater from Gestuz and a hat from H&M. The hat had this uncool dotted bow on it, but I took it off and now I'm really happy with my new hat.

Naked

2011-02-27T13:06:00.000+01:00

Haha! My colleague thought I was barelegged when he saw my back entering my office. It's beacause my tights are so nude coloured. The front has some suede patches, luckily, wouldn't want to give the wrong impression in the middle of this cold winter...hahaha...

Tights H&M, dress from Whyred

A day off

2011-02-26T19:42:00.000+01:00

I had a day off on Friday - such a sweet deal. I had lunch with my girlfriends and did everything in my own prefered, lazy tempo.

I'm wearing my wool cardigan from ebay, skirt from H&M and tee from Monki. The necklaces are from Camilla Prydz and an old piece one from my mom's store.

Looking forward to October!

2011-02-25T16:16:00.000+01:00

I'm so looking forward to the launch in October of the collaboration between Whitney Port and Bik Bok. Hopefully we'll get to see some sneak peeks soon. Gotta love her sense of style.

And it's so much fun that she's in town these days, hanging out with the Moods boys. Welcome to Oslo, Whitney! Enjoy!

I had a super weekend in Telemark! Who can complain when you get to eat breakfast at this cozy venue?

My Valentine

2011-02-22T09:41:00.000+01:00

I've totally forgot to post my beautiful Valentine's gift. My boyfriend (the best in the world) gave me red roses, dinner at Ylajali, a pink headset and the eagle necklace made by Camilla Prytz. I love it and I wear it almost every day. Did your boyfriend give our anything nice?

Baby, It's still freakin' cold outside!

2011-02-21T17:06:00.000+01:00

I'm longing for summer and warm weather... Pretty tired of my winter jackets...

Wearing: jacket from River Island, scarf and beanie from Bik Bok, glasses from Rayban, boots from Zara, jeans from Topshop and Wang bag.

Wear a hat!

2011-02-18T15:36:00.000+01:00

I love wearing hats, but somehow I seldom do... Where can I buy a nice one? Any tips?

My outfit: pants from Topshop, tee from Gestuz, cardigan from Gina Tricot, boots Bianco, scarf and hat from Zara, leather bracelets from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Maxi on sale

2011-02-15T16:06:00.000+01:00

I got this maxidress from Monki on serious sale. I paid 40NOK for it! Sometimes you've just gotta love sales...

Outfit: dress from Monki, vintage belt from Fretex, necklace from Marc Jacobs, cardigan from Gina Tricot, boots from Din Sko.

Whites

2011-02-13T18:43:00.000+01:00

I had to apply three coats to get a rich white colour. I'm happy with the results, do you like white nails?

White nail polish from H&M 39.90NOK

Frozen flowers

It's freaking cold outside, but I'm celebrating spring in my sheer flower blouse!

Put on a happy face:-) Blouse and jeans from Bik Bok, booties from Bianco.

I won!

2011-02-10T23:27:00.000+01:00

Ahhh...don't you just LOVE ebay? 5 minutes ago I won this lovely vintage Dior purse. I've been looking for one for quite a while now and I can't wait for this to arrive! Yay - victory:-)

I want beautiful brows! Now I'm closer to getting them...

2011-02-10T20:46:00.001+01:00

I'm very happy with the girl who shapes my eyebrows, but I've always wanted to learn how to use make up on them. The other day I came over a magic kit!

The Anastasia Beverly Hills contains a tweezer and stencils that I don't need... but what's important is that it also contains an amazing brow powder duo (looks like eyeshadow) a nice duo brush and a clear brow gel that can be used over the brow powder. My colour brow powder is "Medium Ash".

The price is 499NOK and I got mine at Steen & Strøm.

Hard to show the results - but I feel fresh:-)

Working nine to five

2011-01-24T14:02:00.000+01:00

I went to my wonderful hair dresser at Toni&Guy on Friday. He cut my hair about 10-15 cm and I love how he blowdries and styles it. Wish he could come to my apartment every morning before I go to work:-)

Cheese!

Sorry the bad picture...messy mirror at Strykejernet...

Two faced, but happy:)

As an eagerly fashionblog-reader I figured I'd give something back. My wish was and is to create an inspirational blog, since I'm inspired every day by other bloggers out there.

2. What kind of blogs do you follow?

I follow different fashion, beauty and interiour blogs.

I'd have to say grey for the moment. And I'm looking forward to be wearing a bit more summerish colours soon.

I don't use a lot of perfume. I prefere mild fragrances and body mists. For the moment I use L'Occitaine's Verbena mist and I always have a bottle of Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea in my bathroom.

8. Your favorite film:

I love films! And my answer is clear: definitely "Mitt liv som hund". A beautiful Swedish piece of art.

I travel to NYC and London once a year. Cities I can't live without. I'd love to visit South Africa, China and Japan soon.
