Shoe Lounge at Paleet(great shoes!!)

Trying on new Prada sunglasses at Krogh Optikk. These babies might just become mine..Dont they look fab with my outfit?

I think Carrie would approve.. Lovely shoes from Paleet.

Cool headpiece. Gold MK shoes from Shoe Lounge.
Idag hadde Paleet shopping en happening med mange gavedryss i riktig Sex og Singelliv stil. Man kunne vinne sko, klær og premierebilletter til SATC filmen. Var der en liten time for å titte litt. Endte ikke opp med å kjøpe noe, men fant de kule hvite solbrillene fra Prada og gullskoene fra Michael Kors. En heldig jente vant et gavekort på 10.000kroner..Skulle ønske det var meg!

PS: DU KAN VINNE BILLETTER TIL SATC filmen her på bloggen fra imorgen!!!! Følg med for konkurranse.

Todays happening was a celebration of the upcoming movie Sex and the City(almost there!). Paleet, a shopping center in Oslo, handed out tons of gifts and tickets for the premiere of the movie next friday. Lots of girls showed up to shop. I found some great sunglasses from Prada(as seen) and shoes, off course. Did not shop(gasp), but got some great inspiration in the little hour I was there. A lucky girl won a gift certificate for a 2000 dollar shopping spree....Wish it was me! Haha. Have a lovely day everyone!

80s Revival

80tallet var tiden da AHA regjerte MTV med "Take on Me" og filmene Fame og Top Gun gikk på kino. Ballgensere, steinvaskede Levis og svarte lærremmer var et must for alle motebevisste jenter. Egentlig hadde jeg lovet meg selv at jeg aldri skulle begi meg inn på 80tallsmoten igjen, men jeg må innrømme at å gi etter å små doser er helt greit. Hvis du som meg ikke føler for å ta det helt ut, kan du satse på et par hvite pumps, lærremmer(obligatorisk) og en vintage tshirt med trykk. Ønsker du derimot å kjøre full 80tallsstil, er det bare å se på bilder av Madonna, Duran Duran og Whitney Houston fra den tiden.

It was the time when AHAs (Norways most successful popband ever) song "Take on Me" conqured the world on MTV. Lightwashed Levis jeans were the hottest thing in fashion and every cool girl on the planet wore black leather wristbands. Hair was BIG, shoes were white and off course we thought we were very fashionable. I never thought I would wear anything from this area again, untill I saw these white shoes, the print tshirt and the leather bands. How wrong can you be? Off course they are a uppgrade from the 80s with my vintage 70s style skirt, however I stand to be corrected, because I do have to admitt that I love this look! For inspiration and a trip down memory lane, you just have to look at old photos of Madonna, Duran Duran and Whitney Houston.

Safari Chic

Michael Kors

Donna Karan
http://www.vogue.com/

HBO My favorite: Carrie in season 3, in this vintage shirtdress.

Safaristilen er tidløs, vakker og klassisk. Har du en kjole som denne fra Donna Karan i skapet(H&M har fine kopier)har du en kjole som fungerer både til jobb og fest. Slipp løs din indre Indiana Jones heltinne og finn den stilen som passer deg best, enten det er kjole, shorts eller jakke med belte. Min favoritt er denne vintagekjolen Carrie hadde på seg i SATC sesong 3..

Love the safari chic look for summer. Its classic, timeless and always in style. Perfect for work or play. Dress up your inner Indiana Jones heroine and experiment with kaki dresses with brown wide belts, as seen on the runway at Donna Karan, or go for chic and sexy with a jacket and a shorts for a day of fab shopping. If you prefer the style in small doses, opt for a jacket, a hat or a shirtdress. My favorite is the shirtdress Carrie was wearing in season 3 with those sunglasses, just marvelous. Will you be wearing this trend for summer?

Endelig snart helg! Elsker min nye røde kjole som jeg fant i en av Fretex sine butikker. Har tatt masse bilder av butikken på Grunerløkka, så det kommer i en egen post senere. Alle jenter trenger en rød kjole i skapet og tro det eller ei, dette er faktisk min første røde kjole. Til gjengjeld er den helt fantastisk. Skulle ønske jeg kunne hoppe tilbake i tid og svinge meg på dansegulvet på Studio54 i denne kjolen, det hadde vært litt av en fredag!

Hey, you lovely ladies! Its finally friday and the weekend is almost here. Love this dress I got a week back when I when I went to a secondhandstore called Fretex. I will make a seperate post on the Fretex store in Oslo, because it is a great store with many treasures. Every girl needs a red dress in their closet, and this is actually my first. When I put it on it was like stepping back in time, and I wish I could go dancing at Studio54. I love the way the colour of the dress changes in the pictures, in one it almost looks orange. But I will settle for dinner & drinks at a great restaurant, have a nice friday everyone!

The Flower Trend

Etter å ha sett SJP i denne kjolen, fant jeg ut at jeg ønsket meg nok en blomsterkjole. Etter en tur på ebay fant jeg den perfekte kjolen, og inatt ble den min for 100 kroner! Skal legge ut bildet med en gang jeg får den. Når det gjelder blomstertrenden er det lett det blir litt bestemorsaktig, så pass på å bruke kult tilbehør som gladiatorsandaler eller hvite platåpumps for en kul look. Hvis du i tillegg har en clutch i en sterk farge eller en dyreprint, setter du prikken over i en på antrekket. Har også vært på secondhandshopping, så bilder av kjøpene kommer imorgen.


After seeing SJP in this lovely creation, I decided to treat myself to another flower dress( Yes I already have an obscene amount). Last night I won the perfect dress on ebay for a steal, which I will be posting shortly. Perfect with my Nine West heels or white pumps. The flowertrend can fast become a little grandmalooking , so be sure to spike it up with great accesories. If you are daring go for a huge clutch in either one feisty colour or a leopard one. Now thats fashion as I like it! Also, went thrifting and got some great deals, that I will share with you tomorrow.

To Dye For

Photo: Asos

Elsker dette miniskjørtet fra Asos. Fantastisk blåfarge, men du kan også få det i korall. Perfekte til mine nye sko, som jeg synes var et meget bra kjøp. Dette skjørtet kan du bruke både til en dag på stranden i flip flopper eller en kveld på byen. Pluss på med høye gladiatorsandaler, vintage tshirt og en blazer, så får du en rocka stil. Tror nok denne finner veien til postkassen min i nærmeste fremtid...

Loving this tie dye miniskirt from Asos. It comes in blue or peach and will go perfect with my new shoes(!)that it sounded like most of you liked. This look you can dress up with high heels, or dress down with a pair of flip flops for a cool day at the beach. Pairing it with a tank top is a great idea, but a vintage tee and a denim jacket or a blazer will rock this look. Think this skirt will find its way to my mailbox anytime soon....

New Shoes!

Cardigan: Gina Tricot
Red top: H&M
Skirt: H&M (lowwaisted, but I want it high, so a DIY project)
Sunnies: Oliver People
Shoes: Fab!!

Fikk endelig mine nye gladiatorsko i posten! Er veldig fornøyd med skoene som jeg bestilte hos ebay selgeren AmiShoeStore. Skoene finnes i flere farger og er gode på foten til å være såpass høye. Passer perfekt som kontrast til årets blomstertrend. Med disse skoene blir du garantert kveldens midtpunkt. Anbefales!

Some of you might remember my earlier post about lusting for those blue gladiator heels SJP was wearing. Well, those are out of my budget, but I ordered these thinking they might work. And finally my new shoes arrived! They are from ebay seller AmiShoeStore and a steal! You can get them in several colours and they are really comfortable for such high heels. Perfect as a contrast to this summers flowertrend, it gives an outfit a certain edge.

This weeks Ebay find

Ukens ebay er disse uberkule hvite solbrillene fra Anuk Vintage. Solbrillene koster AU 18.50 og de har seks stykker i butikken. Kjendisene elsker hvite solbriller og Sienna Miller, Olsen tvillingene og Chloe Sevigny har allerde sine favoritter. Ønsker du deg ekte 80tallsstil er disse et funn!

Us and Russ!

Gratulerer med dagen! Håper dere har hatt en fantastisk dag, på tross av regn og snø(??)i Tigerstaden. Vi hadde en deilig lunch på Løvebakken med gode venner. Deretter bar det hjem til grilling og mye god mat. Har lurt meg ut fra festen i 5 minutter for å blogge litt, så må komme meg tilbake. Håper dere får en fortsatt fin dag!

Sorry about no text, but have a pretty full day of festivities today! Its been almost summer for 2 weeks, but this morning it was freezing and snowing(???)when we woke up to celebrate our National Day. So, out came tights, boots, jackets and wool skarves. Even though the weather was bad for the first part of the day, the sun finally got through the skyes in the afternoon. Had a wonderful lunch in the city and went home for some barbecuing in the evening. I just slipped out for a quick update to let you in on whats going on. Have a lovely saturday!

Great summer looks

Det er nok ingen hemmelighet at jeg liker mesteparten av Nicole Richies stil. Nicole er flink til å gjøre basisantrekk kule, som her med hvit kjole, skinnjakke og printveske. I tillegg er hun ikke redd for å prøve nye ting, som denne vintage Chanel skjortekjolen (som jeg gjerne skulle slått kloen i). Etter at hun sparket stjernestylisten Rachel Zoe, har hun prøvd og feilet en god del. Nå ser det endelig ut til at hun er på riktig vei med å finne sin egen stil..Hva synes dere om stilen, hater den, elsker den eller midt på treet?

As you might have guessed, I love most of Nicole Richies style. I often feel she make basic outfits stand out, like this white dress, leather jacket and that whimsical handbag. On the other hand, shes not afraid of trying out new things like this vintage Chanel shirt dress(that I totally covet). After firing Rachel Zoe, she has had some big up and downs, but I truly believe that to find your style, you need to experiment and that takes a couple of hits and misses. What do you think, love or hate her style? Also, I got som killer heels in the mail today and will try to post a picture of them later...

Lurer du fortsatt på hva du skal ha på deg 17 mai? Da kan jeg fortelle deg at du ikke er alene om det. Vurderer å ha på meg DvF kjolen på det første bildet, men har ikke helt bestemt meg. Mannen min synes det er et luksusproblem med alle de kjolene jeg har i skapet, noe jeg tror gjelder de fleste menn. Skulle gjerne hatt bunad, men det er såpass dyrt at jeg heller håper å arve enn å kjøpe selv. Har du bunad og skal du bruke den, eller går du for en annen type kjole?

So, 17 of May is our national independence day were we all dress up and go down to the city to watch students of all levels march and wave the Norwegian flag towards the castle to see the Royal family. The custom outfit is a Bunad ( see 2 pic) However, it cost about 4ooo dollars. So, you have to either inherit a dress, have tons of money, or like me, wear another dress. The Bunad is a custom dress based on folk dresses and it is has a different style depending on which part of the country you come from. They are used for special celebrations like weddings, christenings and 17 of may. I am contemplating using one of my favorites (I have many!!) the DvF dress in the first picture with a red belt. The Norwegian flag is red, white and blue, and that is a colour combination I love. Opinions?

Premieren her i Norge nærmer seg med stormskritt, det er ca 4 uker igjen til 6 juni. Som alle andre SATC fans her hjemme kan jeg nesten ikke vente med å se filmen, som ser ut til å ha endel overraskelser på lur. For å ikke snakke om alle antrekkene som har sirkulert rundt på nettet i mange måneder. Alle fashiongirls har et forhold til denne serien som peiler inn på samhold, kjærlighet, vennskap og ikke minst fantastisk mote satt sammen av Patricia Field. Hva er ditt favorittantrekk Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte eller Samantha har i serien? Min er denne fantastiske rosa kjolen fra Oscar de la Renta..

Cant wait for the premiere in about 4 weeks time here in Oslo. Even though we have seen outfits and some glimts at the story, I am thrilled that my favorite TVshow of all time is finally coming to the big screen. Dont we all have a relationship with these girls? I mean they put so many issues on the agenda and the girls all have traits we recognize and identify with. Friendship, love and heartache being some. And off course the coveted fashion brought to life by the talented Patricia Field. One of my favorite outfits that really stands out was this pink Oscar de la Renta dress. Why? Because taking me dancing at a Burger King is exactely what my husband would do and my favorite colour is off course, pink.. Do you have a favorite outfit from any of the girls from the series?

Siden det var overskyet idag, passet det godt å ha på en av mine favorittkjoler som vist i Side2 intervjuet. Har gjort fint lite bortsett fra å gå en liten tur å hente meg kaffe. Alt er jo stengt, noe som gjør at det er ganske stille og rolig. Så fantastisk med all blomstringen, flott å se så mye vakker natur. Ikveld blir det grilling og mer avslapning.

Today it was clouded and thus a perfect day to wear one of my favorite dresses as featured in the Side2 interview. I love sundays as I think it is a perfect day to relax and get some energy renewal. So my day amounted to go for a walk to get some coffee. Since tomorrow is a national holiday everything is closed and its so quiet, seems like everybody left town. Enjoyed the spectacular scene of flowers and trees in full bloom, and soaked up on some much needed peace of mind. Oh and one of my best friends whos due date is in three days called (and I do believe you cant turn down a pregnant lady), so thats why I am on the phone in the first picture.

Wanted: Jeweled Headbands

Foto: http://www.whowhatweardaily.com/

Har lett etter hårbånd med kule stener siden jeg først så denne artikkelen for et par uker siden. Har fremdeles ikke funnet noen bortsett fra de her som alle kjendisene bruker. Men jeg bruker ikke 1000 kroner på det, så nå vurderer jeg å lage et selv. Har dere sett noen som ligner på de på bildene?

Been looking for jeweled headbands ever since I saw this article, but nobody seems to carry the ones I am looking for. I love this, but I am not forking out 200 dollars for a headband! So, I decided that I have to make this my DIY of the week, because I really want one. Do you girls have any suggestions other than Forever21, asos, ebay and topshop? Like I said I have been looking for a while...
