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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Cocktails in LA

Hope you all are having a wonderful sunday! Last night I was at the annual Christmas Party with work, and I was wearing this dress that I bought in NY. In LA, I used it when we went out for cocktails and drinks. I love to dress up, so it might not come as a suprise that I go all out when I have the possibility. Love the drapings of my new dress and the YSL-tribute shoes, that finally became mine. Have a wonderful sunday!

Outfit: Dress by Jessica McClintock at Macys, Yves Saint Laurent Tribute and bracelet from a jewelry shop in NY.

New and Old Chanel

I managed to score this fantastic vintage Chanel bag for a steal at Michael`s Vintage in New York. I am so happy with it, its really amazing in size and the condition is very good for a vintage bag. I really wanted to add a shopper (to use everyday) to my collection. Its old from use, but new to me.

Outfit: Leather jacket from Voice, cardigan F21, boots and jeans from Acne, t-shirt from Old Navy, scarf from H&M and vintage Chanel handbag from Michael`s.

New Shoes

I finally managed to get my hands on a pair of cool leopard boots in New York. They were on sale, so it was a real bargain. These make any outfit pop and I am planning on wearing them to at least one christmasparty. Love NY in the evening, going out for drinks and good food, we had so much fun. Bryant Park was so different without the fashion tents, but it was lovely with the stands and ice rink.
Outfit: Jeans and faux fur from Cubus, jacket from Voice, scarf from H&M and new shoes from Aldo.

New York

I am so sorry about not updating for the last two weeks. But I have been on a much needed vacation in New York & Los Angeles. I have had so much fun meeting up with old and new friends. Sometimes a boost is needed and this was definitely it. I will post pictures from my trip and all my recent shopping excursions, I got so many great bargains on our trip. Two days of bad weather did not stop us from enjoying New York. Picked up this big umbrella right away and that kept me dry and stylish the whole day. Love Central Park and the Boathouse. We went both a sunday for brunch and another day for lunch. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Getting my hair done

On Saturday I went and had my hair done. Dont you love those moments when you just get to sit there and relax? And the texture and color of the hair afterwards? Pure luxury and indulgence, just like it should be(Thanks Anki!). Hope you all are having a great week? I have been running around looking at a cool jeans line and trying to get together some Christmas presents. I dont want to be stressing with that come December. Have you startet Christmas shopping already?

A night at the Opera

Just got home from a night at the Opera. Where I experienced three ballet stories from Spanish Nacho Duato. The new Norwegian Opera House is really worth a visit if you are ever in Oslo. It is situated by the sea like a huge stone of ice. The architecture is amazing and a real treat for those with a love for design. Thank you for all the wonderful comments on the post below!
Wearing: H&M sequin dress, Lindex tights, Zara handbag, Forever21 cardigan and Whyred boots.
