Purple Haze

Bought this wonderful fluffy jacket in Copenhagen while running around between Fashion Shows. Love the purple color, the picture does not do it any justice. Thank you for all your nice comments! I am finally feeling a little better and getting my energy back, it has been 2 very hectic and fun months. As you can see, it is still a lot of snow, but its slowly starting to melt. Oh, and I just ordered these, how fab, cant wait until they arrive!



Outfit: Jacket from Weekday vintage, tights and sunglasses from Gina Tricot, Whyred boots, vintage Chanel handbag and ring from Glitter.

New

Went shopping yesterday and found the perfect trenchcoat for spring. For me the cut, style and shape is very important. Love the puff sleeves on this one, definitely a keeper from Zara. Cant wait for warmer weather and the sun. Sorry for not blogging as much as usual. Being sick really wiped me out and lately I have had zero energy. Hope to relax this weekend and get my energy back. I am working on several exciting projects that I will share with you soon. Hope you all are well and having a great week!

Outfits from Copenhagen Fashion Week

Thanks for all of your lovely comments! I have spent the last week inside with lumonia, so have been pretty out of it. But I am finally starting to feel a little better.

The best from Oslo Fashion Week

Veronica B. Vallenes is the seasons debutant

Loved her clean lines and 80s references

Mardou & Dean rocked, ever so cool

Beautiful dresses at TSH

Amazing brides at Leila Hafzi

Dark, smoldering and mysterious at Epilogue


Its been three both amazing and exhausting weeks. I have been travelling and running from shows to shows, with very few breaths and hours of sleep in between. What I am left with is a notion that designers simply are going for their signature looks for fall, wether its classic and clean, funny and colorful, edgy and mysterious. I must say that there are few suprises for fall, we have seen a lot of the same before. However, how you decide to play with fashion and put it together is on a whole different level. Hope you enjoy my pictures, I am sorry for not updating more, but it has been in one word: Crazy. Hope you all are having an amazing weekend!

Outfit: Dress from H&M Garden Collection, jacket from Voice, boots from Whyred and vintage handbag.

Stockholm Fashion Week

Sorry for being missing in action for so long. I have spent the last 4 days in Sweden at Stockholm Fashion Week. It has been hectic, intense, and fun! I have been sitting front row, interviewed designers and others, appeared on TV about fashion and running around in the snowstorm like crazy, always trying to catch the next fashion show. Here I am talking to one of my favorite designers, Carin Wester, she has the most amazing designs and shoes. Such a cool picture, dont you think? Anyway, I wil update more over the weekend and visit you all to se what you have been up to this last week. Have a great Thursday!

Outfit: Shoes and skirt from Whyred, jacket from Voice and Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag.

Gray and black

I am so tired of the snow and its still months away from Spring. I take comfort in enjoying the small things in my life, like a sunday free off everything. Today I am meeting up with some friends and just relaxing before another hectic week. I am a huge fan of simplicity these days, and gray and black is a great color combination. I got these boots on loan for a competition at minMote, so we took these shots outside yesterday. I think they are pretty cool. If you are Norwegian, you can enter the competition over at minMote.no (Apologies to my foreign readers). Wish you all an amazing week!

Outfit: Jacket from Voice, jeans from Koola Anna, husbands Levis sweater, boots from Tamaris.

In the studio

For a couple of Saturdays I am judging the outfits for the MGP-Norwegian (Eurovision Song Contest) finalist here in Norway with our MGP-expert Jostein Pedersen. You can check it out here. Its so much fun and we are having a great time! On Saturday I decided to wear my vintage sequined jacket that I picked up in New York and my new jeans from Made In Heaven. I know a lot of celebs love them, and its easy to see why. My jeans are called The Oslo Jean (isnt that funny?), and are my new favorite jeans of the moment.

Outfit: Vintage sequined jacket, jeans from Mih, boots from Aldo, vintage necklace of ebay.

LA Suburbia

It is still cold here, but wanted to share some more photos from our last trip to LA. As you might have guessed, I think fashion should be fun, hence the last picture. These pictures was taken at my good friends house (Love ya, Elissa!) in LA suburbia. I am wearing two of my recents buys, the H&M faux fur coat and the aldo leopard boots. Fun times!

Still cold

Its just freezing in Oslo. On friday I was in such a rush that I left the house in jeans and ended up with frost bites on my legs. Of course I got sick, so the whole weekend has been spent inside just relaxing and trying to get better. They say the worst of the cold is over, but its still freezing and the temperature have not changed that much yet. I do hope that it gets better soon, its such a challenge to look good when its that cold. Well, at least I will never go out without wool tights in this weather again. Staying inside today, its simply to cold to be outside. At least I get to shop online and prepare my spring wardrobe while I dream of warmer weather.
Thanks so much to Blue is in Fashion This Year for including me in this post!

Outfit: Vintage faux fur jacket, jeans from Koola Anna, boots from Acne, beanie from H&M, handbag from Gucci.

Freezing

It is freezing in Norway right now, and its going to be even colder tomorrow. They say it will drop under -20/-4 farenheit, which is freezing cold. So, its safe to say that we have to pull out the layers. I am so happy my husband talked me into buying this faux fur jacket in NY, its so warm and cosy. I am one of those people who always freeze, but this jacket keeps me warm. I also got a new handbag that I am very excited about, perfect cognac color for spring.

Outfit: Faux fur jacket and beanie from H&M, jeans and boots from Acne, handbag from Marco Polo.

Happy New Year

Hope you all had a wonderful time! I was up untill 4 am having lots of fun with friends. My camera broke down, but these are my dancing shoes for the night. Loved the fireworks, but it was so cold we only managed 10 minutes in the freezing snow before we headed back into the party. Thank you all for your support in 2009, I am so happy to be part of such an amazing community. Wish you all the best for the new year!

White Christmas

After three days of snowfall, it finally stopped snowing. But this is really what we call a white christmas. Every branch, tree and house is covered in snow. It feels a little like magic really. Hope you all are enjoying your holiday no matter if its snowing or the sun is shining.

Outfit: Trenchcoat Banana Republic, tights from Lindex, faux fur hat and gloves from H&M, shoes from Bianco and vintage Dior handbag.

Happy Holidays

I love Christmas. Sleeping in, decorating the Christmas tree and just relax with family and friends. Outside the snow is falling, on the radio they are playing christmas songs, and I am enjoying it all with a big cup of hot chocolate. Tonight we are having the traditional Christmas dinner and opening the presents as we do here in Norway on Christmas Eve. I hope you all enjoy your holiday and have a wonderful time with your family and friends.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Outfit: Dress and kardigan from F21, tights from Lindex, shoes from Pierre Hardy.

Shopping at Target

I love Target. Whats not to love? Miles of clothing, make-up, furniture and a electronics department to leave your guy in. I always find tons of good stuff here, especially work out gear, cheap sunglasses and I also love their designer collaborations. I was hoping to see some Rodarte samples, but it was way to early. From what I have seen from pictures it really looks fab. Will you be shopping for Rodarte at Target?

Outfit: Joe`s jeans, top from Zara, shoes Old Navy, vintage Chanel handbag, sunglasses (just bought) from Target and a vanilla latte. Yum.
