4 of july celebration

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

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!

My birthday was spent in the studio working on a new project and at the Norwegian ELLE party, were I had a blast! After I headed back home to dinner, wine and flowers from my husband.
Wearing vintage dress from Beyond Retro, Jessica Simpson heels and clutch from Zara. Thanks for all the wonderful text messages and emails congratulations!

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

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

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

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

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