se hva jeg fant!

veske fra loftet

herlig "indianer" mønster

På loftet, i en eske med porselensdukker og minnebøker, fant jeg denne nydelige veska. Jeg hadde nesten glemt den. Jeg har i alle fall glemt hvem jeg fikk den av. Denne skjønne, indianer inspirerte, lille veska er helt perfekt denne våren. jeg har sett mange liknende vesker i ulike butikker i det siste og tenker at det henger sammen med frynser og fjær og alt det der.

Gleder med til dagene og nettene blir lange. Og til jakka er byttet ut med en cardigan. Da kommer veska frem. Den har akkurat nok plass til litt. For eksempel mobil, nøkler og lommebok.

Har du noen gamle skatter på loftet?

flette moro

Etter at jeg fikk langt hår igjen har jeg fått litt dilla på å lage morsomme fletter og sette opp håret på ulike måter. Jeg hadde en lang periode med ballettopp dilla, og den har på en måte sklidd litt over i flette mani i takt med den økende interessen for fjær øredobber og skinn armbånd. Litt sånn indianer aktig. Ser for meg hvor fint det vil bli i sommervarmen med den nye stråhatten til.

Her er noen eksempler på fletter som jeg synes er fine for tiden.

Er du flink til å flette/gjøre forskjellige ting med håret?

maxi kjole

Jeg må ærlig innrømme at jeg en stund har hatt lyst på en. Jeg har motstått fristelsen av den enkle grunn at jeg har overbevist meg selv om at jeg egentlig ikke kler så lange skjørt/kjoler. Jeg som er så liten føler litt at jeg drukner.

Men da jeg kom inn på barneavdelingen på h&m og fant denne marineblå figursydde maxi kjolen måtte jeg prøve den på. Jeg syntes jeg kledde den kjempegodt og er herved overbevist om at også små folk kan ha lange kjoler.

Jeg skal bruke den med mine fjonge kilhel sandaler over bikini på vei til stranden og med tøffe boots og grovstrikket cardigan på svale kvelder.

Har du kjøpt deg maxi kjole? Kommer du til å gjøre det?

lekker resturant med lekker mat

Det er så herlig med helger man har fri. Da kan man leve livet i sakte kino, og ta ting på sparket. En annen ting jeg liker godt med det er at jeg kan ta på meg klær. Hæ, går du ikke med klær til vanlig, tenker du nå. Jo, på en måte gjør jeg det. Men jeg føler ikke alltid at treningstøy kvalifiserer som klær. Og det er jo det jeg lever livet mitt i. Derfor føler jeg faktisk at jeg pynter meg litt når jeg tar på meg jeans og en vanlig genser.

I går var en sånn dag. Sola skinte og jeg fikk gått med en av genseren jeg kjøpte i london. Sammen med et nydelig armbånd jeg fikk av danserne i erasmus montanus da vi var ferdig med teatertiden. Jeg følte meg faktisk litt pyntet.

Vi tok turen til frognerparken for å møte søstern og la barna klatre i borgen. Så fant vi en herlig restaurant og inntok et helt fantastisk sushi måltid, med en dessert vi sent vil glemme.

Hva gjorde du i går? Hadde du fri?

hverdags luksus

Det er noe jeg ikke unner meg ofte nok. Ikke er det så dyrt heller. Jeg lover meg selv at det ikke må bli så lenge til neste gang. Jeg gikk meg en tur i sola og kjøpte med meg en liten bunke mote blader hjem. Rigget meg til i sofa hjørnet med nypresset kaffe og hjemmelaget cookies, og begynte å bla. Inspirasjon fra perm til perm.

Likte spesielt cosmos guide til årets top skjønnhet produkter! Med alt fra make-up til hår og hudpleie produkter.

Det jeg liker spesielt godt med slike magasiner er å få tips og ideer til styling av antrekk. Ved å se ulike looks jeg liker kan jeg bruke disse ideene til å style klær jeg har hjemme på nye måter.

Jeg fikk også tatt en tur til frisøren og farget vipper og bryn, noe jeg gjør altfor sjeldent det også. Nå er det helg i heimen, med vasket hus og sol fra blå himmel. I dag blir det en tur til frognerparken før vi skal tilbake til nrk med sofie. Ha en herlig solskinns lørdag!

Hvilke magasiner er dine favoritter?

turban fredag

Jeg er så lykkelig for at det glade 70 tallet er tilbake, og at det ikke lenger finnes noen unnskyldninger for dårlige hår-dager. Nå er det bare å knyte et fancy skjerf rundt hodet, slenge på et par store solbriller og du er good to go!

Passer meg perfekt en tidlig fredags morgen når jeg må ut av huset før morgen kaffen for å kjøre barna i barnehagen.

Har du prøvd turban i det siste?

påfyll

Jeg har vel endelig innsett fakta. Jeg begynner å bli gammel. Jeg klarer ikke lenger å overleve på vann og popcorn. Jeg burde ha startet før, men bedre sent enn aldri ikke sant?

Jeg har i alle fall omsider gått til innkjøp av proteinpulver og sportsdrikk!

Ideen bak er enkel. Jeg lager meg nesten aldri mat når jeg kommer hjem fra en kveld med undervisning. Da har jeg altså holdt på aktivt i 4-5 timer. Jeg spiser kanskje et par knekkebrød og drikker melk. Ellers tar jeg meg bare en sjokolade. Ikke noe særlig bra påfyll til musklene. Så nå prøver jeg å lage meg proteinshake!

Siden dette pulveret smaker granskog har jeg noen smakstips:

1. Milkshake: blander pulver og melk som dosert på boksen( 3dl melk og 2 skjeer pulver) legg til en banan og noen frosne jordbær.

2. Smothie: bytt ut melken med juice og bland med pulver. Legg til en halv banan, to ss vanilje yoghurt og frosne bær( gjerne Smothie mix)

Nydelig på smak og påfyll til musklene!

Har du noe erfaring med proteinpulver? Effekt, Tips?

most read post: someone else

I was looking through the stats on my blog and this post stands out with 567 unique pagewiews. (the average is 30) I thought it deserved a repost for that reason, and since I haven't gotten around to taking the pictures I need for my next post. Have you read this post  already? Do you really think it's worth over 500 pagewiews?


Today was a nice saturday. Everyone was home relaxing doing their own thing. I started making some clothes for Sofie and Isak that are almost done. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

We also took a little trip to do some shopping at ski storsenter later in the day. I had to stop by Panduro to get some fabric for isaks pants, and some other sewing equipment.



Earrings from a street marked in NYC, jeans shirt from H&M, and black jeans from Gina tricot



My favourite boots are on and my big pink scarf to keep me warm.



Looks like someone else wanted to be in this picture too. The weather today was a little to cold for my brown leather jacket, but I wanted to wear it one last time before it snows.

vintage purse and I'm ready to go!

om småsko og andre vårting

småsko /din sko

disse er perfekte for våren for de er litt varme også

frynser og litt indianer-inspirert poncho /h&m

lang sort genser med puffarmer / only

armbånd /accessorize

Småsko er et fint ord. Det bærer i seg håp om bare gater, hoppetau og paradis. Om fregnete neser og hestehov.

Jeg har et av mine nyinnkjøpte par småsko på i dag. For første gang denne våren. Ja, for nå kaller jeg det vår. I dag var vinden mild og myk mot kinnet. Da må man få lov. Gatene er desverre ikke helt bare hos meg enda, men i byen er de det.

Viser dere en vårlig outfit med min herlige nye poncho som definitivt blir vårens mest brukte plagg! Jeg elsker fargen, designet og snittet. Denne passer til alt jeg har!

Det jeg har under er mitt typiske outfit når jeg har dårlig tid, eller ikke vet hva jeg skal ta på meg. Slim jeans og en lang sort genseren med puff ermer. Funker med og til det meste.

Har du funnet frem småskoene?

jordbær

This post is dedicated to strawberries and all the strawberry lovers out there and one in particular jordbær piken.

We came across this cafe at a random really. It's probably the most inviting coffee place I've ever seen. The counter was packed with sweets of all sorts, and everything looking just so good. We wanted to get everything. Waffles with homemade strawberry jam, strawberry smoothie, cheescake, marengs...I could go on and on. If you're ever in this part of town jordbær pikene is definatly worth a visit while we wait for the lovely strawberry season.

Looking forwards too lazy summer days with sunkissed kids and strawberries in a bowl.

After looking at some trends for spring and cleaning out my closet, I found that there was room for a few pieces of clothing for the spring. I went to storo shopping mall, and they have every store that I'm interested in there now.

I got a few things, and I feel like I'm pretty much set for the season. I would like to find some bellbottom jeans still, and perhaps a peach or white summer scarf. And I most likely need a new bikini, but then again who doesn't?

I'll show you some of my outfits later with the mix of things I already had with the new.

Have you gotten any clothes for the spring yet?

I wish I was her- bloom subjazz

subjazz

There is no longer any question about it. I know exactly who I would want to be if I could take a pick. I couln't keep my eyes off her during the show. Even when she wasn't moving! Perfectly propotions. Endless legs. Deapth. Eyes. Story.

She comes to class sometimes, and I have trouble consentrating on the exercises. Her body moves in a very unnatural way, like it's made from rubber rather than flesh and bones.

Anyway, the show was amazing. I lost the story a little, but with such wonderful dancers I really didn't mind. Particulary the last dance was very beautiful and strong!

Are you going to see bloom?

friendship

Inspired by mies blogg and a conversation I had with my best friend recently I wanted to say something about friendship. I'm one of the people who don't have many friends. Unlike what most people might think. For me it takes a lot to call someone a friend. For me it means that I can say whatever I need to say. Nomatter how embarrasing, selfish, stupid or crazy it might be. If it's on my mind I need to know that I can say it.

"The best mirror is an old friend."

- George Herbert

I also hope that in times of need these are the people who will be there for me when I need someone. I had a pretty difficult time going on 2 years ago when my husband was in the hospital getting heart surgery, but I was totally unable, at the time, to ask for help or say that things were hard. It was like I made a protective shield to cover me and the kids. We were in this boble where nothing could touch us. Luckily a couple of these "friends" got it anyways. They came over, called other people to come over to help out, and took time to listen and make us dinner. It ment a lot!

I also think that friend should be allowed to disagree. To say it when they think I make stupid desicions. To question my motives and let me know when they think I'm wrong. Most times I know it anyway. I just need someone to say it out loud.

"A true friend stabs you in the front."

- Oscar Wilde

 
Another thing that I love in my friends is the ability to see me. To see the emotion behind the smile. To see the worry in the tears. To understand that something is wrong when I say everything is fine. I'm not always good at displaying how I fell right away, but with the right friend, and the right question I'm open like a book.

This is why I have few friends. If they don't fit all these points they are acquaintances. And I have many acquaintances! I love them all and sure I call them friends. But my close friends are special!

"Think where man's glory most begins and ends,

And say my glory was I had such friends."

- William Yeats

When I'm on the subject maybe I should mention the falling out of friendship too. This hasn't happened often to me. Only once in fact. It was a horrible experience and as heartbreaking as falling out of love. The sadest part is that I don't see how we can ever find common ground again. The base of the friendship was shoock to it's core in a way that I really see no hope for starting over.

This post is dedicated to all my friends out there near and far -you know who you are!

"I count myselt in nothing else so happy

As in a soul rememb'ring my good friends."

- William Shakespeare

dear rich person

Would you like to make a difference?
Would you like to change the lives of someone?

Well how about sponsoring our dance company?

This is our dream.We have a wonderful concept, and 10 fired up kids. Together with 4 profesional dancers and some great ideas. We want to make a difference. We want to make a difference in the lives of the kids who get to be great at something. Who get to use their bodies to make a statement, speak a message, show who they are and grow as people. We want to make a difference in our part of this city. To give kids the possibility of exellence. To let the arts and the cultural life grow. To make an arena for proffesional artist to create their work and perform it to the communitiy.

We need your help. We need someone who believe in us. Someone who is willing to invest a little bit of money to let us get started. I know we can make it if you just give us a chance!

And if we don't make it, at least we tried. At least we made the most of what was given us, our talent. At least we were not scared to give it all we had. At least we had a dream and deared to follow it.

Will you dream with us?

trends for spring 2011

All of a sudden spring is upon us! The sun is shining and the snow slowly melting and revealing dry pavement. It's time to put away the winter coats and worn out uggs, and to get out jeans, skirts and spring jackets. It always feels inviting to go crazy shopping for new outfits and bright colours this time of year. But I've learned from experience that inpulse shopping like that only ends up with me adding many similar items to my already large wardrobe. So I thought I'd do some research on the trends and get some inspiration. I see that I already have stuff that I can keep using, but I want to add some accesories to style it differently, and get a couple of new things.

Here is my inspiration for the spring of 2011

One of my favourite trends for the spring is the 70's style. I've always been a huge fan of the style, and I love the bellbottom, high waist jeans, and the jump/playsuits (that I started wearing last summer)

Some inspiration from the style:

There are many other trends for the spring. I'll show you some of my other favourite items that I found:

Well I hope you are inspired! I sure am. Now it's time to clean out the closet and see what should be kept for the spring and what needs to go. And what needs to be added. I'll be back with a closer look on my spring closet for 2011.

Have you got a favourite trend for the spring?
