Back to work outfit

Jeg fikk skikkelig dilla på å lage høst antrekk etter jeg deltok i Fotballfrue's konkuranse i går. Så så jeg at Nette Nestea hadde en tilsvarende konkuranse gående. (Begge i samarbeid med Nelly.com) Da måtte jeg lage en outfit til. Denne er mer min stil egentlig, og noe jeg lett kunne gått med. Dette antrekket er vel også mer passende i forhold til det kalde høstværet som er i ferd med å overta for sommeren. Jeg elsker boots, olashorts og varme høstgensere. Shorts kan man jo bruke utover høsten også med en fin strømpebukse til. Armbåndet fra Humanity er prikken over i'en her. Det står på ønskelista mi for høsten!

Er du med i konkuransen? Da vil jeg gjerne se ditt bidrag!

med sleng

En av mine buksefavoritter denne sommeren er definitivt 70 tallets herlige slengbukser som har kommet tilbake i alle farger og former. Jeg fant et favoritt-par på Gina Tricot i vår og buksene har blitt flittig brukt. Jeg bruker dem alltid til sko med litt høyde fordi de er litt lange for lille meg. Her er de med mine favoritt boots i brunt skinn og en helt enkel singlett. Kjedet er håndlaget av en venn og jeg synes det er utrolig fint!

Nå som sommeren nærmer seg slutten gleder jeg meg til å finne fram sleng-jeansen igjen!

lace & wood

Når jeg var i Kristiansand hos familien ble det en tur på fiskebrygga med alle søskna. Vi er fire stykker og det er ikke ofte vi klarer å samle alle på en gang. Veldig hyggelig å pynte seg litt og komme seg ut av huset en kveld. Vi skeia ut med en skikkelig sjømat tallerken. Blåskjell, krabbe, reker, hummer og østers. Helt herlig.

Blondetoppen er fra bik bok og øredobbene fant jeg i Frankrike tideligere i sommer. Fine ikke sant?

I går ble det en tur på stranda igjen. Det er så herlig varmt i vannet nå og jeg fikk meg en skikkelig svømmetur. Hvis det blir fint i dag må jeg en liten tur å bade! Hvis ikke blir det kafe-tur med søstern før vi skal på middag hos nygifte lillebror med hele familien i ettermiddag.

turkis og hvitt

Jeg var så heldig å få dette lange turkise smykket i julegave sist jul. Synes det passer veldig godt nå som våren kommer sammen med lyse farger.

Toppen er fra Hm og er litt løs 80's stil. Om man tør kan man bruke den alene, men da kan det hende magen synes litt. Den er like fin med en litt lenger singlett under.

Cardigan'en fant jeg til 49 kr på gina tricot. Perfekt for kjølige kvelder, over tynne sommerklær.

Spritet opp antrekket med turkise negler. Ikke helt enig med meg selv om hvor godt jeg likte det....hva synes du?

flamingo for christmas?

Flamingo

This is the store to visit if you like the unique. They have a few selected items, and vintage stuff that you woun't find anywhere else. The prices are pretty decent too, so check it out. Maybe you get some ideas for christmas gifts?

Here are some of my favourites:

adorable!

cute new york purse

bring the rain!

somthing old,something new and blue jeans


Today I had to get op early to drive for 1 hr in traffic and get my tooth fixed. Since that wasn't exactly a perfect start of this lovely tuesday I thought I'd at least wear somthing cute.

Bag from a 2'nd hand shop at grunerløkka

I love the brown pattern of this sweather.

my favourite boots! Leather...I loooove them!

new tunic-dress with puff sleeves, old warm knitted sweather and old leopard scarf.

Torn up jeans tights that I got earlier this summer. The tear over the knee has gotten a bit big, so I'm planning on putting a patch on or something.

The dentist appointment went well, and on the way home I decided to stop by the mall to get a gift for my best friend. Her birthday was last week.

I also got a couple of things for me since I deserve it!

The best brand of french press around. This cup was on sale and I've been wanting to get one for a while. Perfect to make coffe for just me, and since it's steel it keeps the coffee hot for hours.

I'm not gonna say what's inside quite yet.

Some nice knitted gloves for the cold norwegian weather.

my hope

Right now I'm wearing a golden squirrel around my neck. I found it on a random walk through H&M and immediately knew I needed to get it. Somehow it gives me a lot of hope, and is almost like a "yes" from the universe.

This story takes me way back to when I was only 15 and living with my family in Canada for the summer. This was the summer that changed my life. I really found out who I am, who I'm supposed to be, and got that confidence rooted deep in me. It was also the summer I started dancing. At the campus we were living at, there were half-tame squirrels all around. They would in fact eat from your hand if you sat quietly enough. I didn't think much of it at the time, other than that it gave a nice atmosphere. After 3 months it was time to leave, and it must have been the most difficult depatures I've ever had. I feel so uprooted and alone and didn't know how to go back to normal life after this.

I know my mum felt the same in many ways. The first day back in Norway we were sitting in our kitchen overlooking the back yard when suddenly my mum pointed out the window. There right outside the glass door was a little brown squirrel lookin in.

Both of us broke down crying over this little "sign". Somehow there was a connection to all the hope we had been feeling and that now felt so far away. And that little thing outside the window managed to make the connection a little clearer to us. The hope had not been left behind, it had traveled with us.

To this day I alway get that little "sting" in my heart when I see one. And often it happens on occations like this one. When I'm starting up a new project, new job, or something memorable happens. It always gives me hope. Hope that I'm in the right place at this time, and on the right track.

Hope that I'm not alone in this world!

What is your hope?

moon on their wings

You know sometimes when you see somthing you like in a store and you feel like you have to get it. Like it somehow has your name on it or something. That's what this was like. I'd been looking for some kind of a crusifix-type neckless for over a year. I really hadn't been able to find anything I really liked at any price in any store. I had actually given up. I had one small cross that I got when I was baptized as a baby, but it seemed so small and "pretty". I wanted to get something that had a different feel to it. When I saw this one I knew it was the one! But I was kinda broke, and thought I didn't need it. Thank goodness my frend Maria was there to tell me to buy it! I'm so incredibly thankful for it, and I've worn it almost every day since I got it. It's beautiful but not "pretty" and it's uniqe. It even has a story:

My earring tree. It's just so practical and cute. Somehow I'm not so great at puting the earrings back after using them, so as you can see it's looking a little empty at the time. I'll put up a picure later with all my favourite earrings on there. I got this in NY too.

My perfume: Lola by Marc Jacobs. Gift from E for my birthday last year. He found it all on his own and I digg it! The bottle is superflashy and decorative and the smell is fresh, flowery but light enough for a small girl like me.

All done with favourites for today. Later.
