Inspiration: Alexander Wang

Sometimes you just want to be the opposite

of sweet. Let the style speak.

Jacket: Bik Bok

Tights: F21

Dress: Carlings

Beanie: H&M

Boots: Inc

Digger de nye svarte tightsene fra F21 som jeg kjøpte i LA.

Et røverkjøp til hundre kroner, som jeg kan bruke til hverdags

og til fest. Disse skal jeg bruke til kardigans, strikkejakker,

kjoler og paljett toppene mine. Sjekk ut siden deres hvis du

liker tights.

I love my new black shiny tights from Forever 21, that I

bought in LA. They are great with knits, sequines and

dresses for that edgy look. Will you be buying tights like

these this season?

Testing: Rouge/Highlighter from Youngblood

Jeg elsker produkter som kan brukes på flere måter.

Youngblood highlighter/rouge i Splendor er et slikt produkt.

Skal du på fest er det bare å ta med seg dette i vesken, for

du kan bruke det som rouge, øyenskygge eller highlighter.

Du kan blande de 4 fargene for en ekstra glød i kinnene, eller

for eksempel to av fargene som øyenskygge. Her er mulighetene

utallige! Den naturlige sminken får du hos Beautybasket.

Siden fargene passer de fleste og produktet er så allsidig,

anbefaler jeg dette som en venninnegave denne julen.

I love a product that has a multifunctional effect.

Youngblood Mineral Makeup Rouge/highlighter in

Splendor is such a product. The four colors can be

blended as a rouge, or used as eyeshadow. When you

are going to a party, this is the perfect multiproduct

to bring along!

Visste du at du nå kan bestille Gina Tricot på nettet?
På Gina Tricot kan du bestille jakker, kjoler, topper
og bukser. De har faktisk ganske bra utvalg på siden,
så det er verdt å sjekke ut!

The swedish brand Gina Tricot just opened a webshop,
so its possible to order online. I love to order from home,
so that fits me perfectly. I especially like their dresses and
jackets this season. Cheap and good, thats how we like it.

Saturday Night with the Girls

It had been way to long since we went dancing.



Of course I knew that I had to wear one of
my new vintage sequined tops.



Add champagne, funny girls and a lot
of dancing to great music, and you have a
perfect night out.

Top: Vintage from San Francisco

Jeans: Acne

Jacket: H&M

Bag: Vintage gold clutch

Boots: Inc

Det er vel ingen hemmelighet at jeg elsker å pynte meg.

Igår hadde jeg veldig lyst til å bruke en av vintagetoppene

jeg kjøpte i San Francisco. Med jeans og H&M jakken, ble

antrekket perfekt for en kveld med champagne, dansing og moro!

I love to get dressed up for a night out. I always take my time,

prep and listen to music before the girls arrive. Well, you know

me, its got to be glamorous. Pink champagne, lots of 70s music,

and fun girls, set the tone for the night. We had so much fun both

preparty and out dancing. I made it home at 3 am in the morning..

Velvet Lust

Ønsker meg den fantastiske jakken til Ashley Olsen i grå fløyel.

Siden jeg ikke har sett noe lignende noen steder, må jeg nok lete

på ebay etter en slik jakke. Skoene fra YSL er også to die for.

Synes egentlig antrekkene til begge Olsen-jentene er kule.

Svart og grått er flotte farger sammen, det er også rødt og

grått, som på Mary-Kate. Begge disse antrekkene passer til årets

julebordsesong. Hvem liker du best, Ashley eller Mary-Kate?

I love Ashley Olsens grey velvet jacket. Come to think of it, I love

both their outfits. I think both sisters have great sense of style and

are great at bringing individual flair to their outfits. But, I am I love with

that velvet coat. Since I have not seen anything similar, I am will be

looking this on ebay or when vintageshopping. Which girls style do you

love most, Ashley or Mary-Kate?

Love Nicole Richies new jewelry line at shopkitson I find the

bracelets to be very cool and just my hippie style. Love the

big black and gold bracelet. The best thing about the line

House of Harlow 1960, is that it is affordable.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Sneak Peak: Bruuns Bazaar 09

Vi dro en tur innom Bruuns Bazaar på vei hjem fra jobb, for å
sjekke ut vår/sommer kolleksjonen 2009. Det er bare å glede seg,
for de er masse fint i denne kolleksjonen. Skinnjakker, kjoler,
store trykk og de friske fargene var bare noe av det jeg falt for.
Men, mitt beste tips for våren er et par lyse støvletter som de ovenfor.
Disse står øverst på min ønskeliste akkurat nå!


Stopped by Bruunz Bazaar on the way home to see their spring
collection. Loved the colors, the prints and the champagne. I know
I will wish for the leather jackets, the dresses in burnt orange and
the white linen dresses, come spring. But on the top of my wishlisht
are these amazing nude leather boots! These would be perfect in my
wardrobe right now.

Model For a Day?

Tirsdag 18 november skal jeg lage en motesak med Kvinneguiden
om festkjoler. Vi trenger en som har lyst til å være modell for en dag,
i et par timer på ettermiddagen i Oslo. Jeg oppfordrer alle mine norske
lesere til å sende meg en mail m bilde og et par ord om hvorfor akkurat du bør
være modellen. Jobben er ubetalt, men jeg lover den som blir med mye
moro! Send meg en mail på siljesfashion@hotmail.com

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my banner. I was ready
for a change, so was the blog. I am taking a little break from my
US vacation posts, but will return with a interview on friday, that are
to be published in the magazine I work for. As for this post, I am looking
for a model for a day for a TV segment I am doing for an online magazine,
so I am asking all my Norwegian readers if they want to be a model for a day.
Unpaid, but a lot of fun!

Brunch at The Four Seasons

We were so lucky to get to experience a brunch at The Four Seasons

in Westlake Village. It was amazing sitting on the patio, enjoying the

company of friends, the food and the spectacular garden.

I really enjoyed the serenity of the garden. No wonder it

is a spa/wellness hotel.

My first Mimosa before heading into the buffet. Can you

think of a better way to spend a sunday?

The brunch is marvelous with a great selection. Be sure to get there

hungry, so you have room for all the fantastic food like panckakes,

mini toast, salads, sushi (yum), lobster, desserts and so much more..

I decided to sample all the different food with just a small piece

of each. That was a great idea, and I was very happy with my

4 small servings. At our table, my husband won hands down

with 6 trips to the buffet.

Of course we had to have another round of that amazing champagne.

Having fun.

My new beloved Pucci shoes. These were a steal at Wasteland

the other day.

Dress: Kapphal

Cardigan: Cubus

Handbag: Vintage Chanel

Sunglasses: Ysl

Vintage Shopping at Melrose

Outfit: Tee Vero Moda, Jeans American Eagle (just bought),
vintage bracelets and Gucci Handbag. After a morning with
pedicure and coffee, we decided to drive down to Melrose
for some vintage shopping. I love Melrose, because the stores
are within walking distance and the stores have such a variety
of clothes. One store is great at leather jackets while another have
a great collection of shoes.



Wasteland is one of my all time favorite stores. Not only do
they have cute vintage dresses, they sell last seasons Marc Jacobs,
Pierre Hardy, Gucci and so on, to affordable prices. We spent quite
some thing looking through everything. My best advice when it
comes to vintage shopping, is to be patient and have a lot of time.
I can be a very fast shopper, but thats only because I know what
I am looking for. Still, then you can miss some gems that arent to obvious.


You can easily spend a whole day vintageshopping at Melrose.





Slow is very affordable. You can pick up leather clutches
for about 10 dollars and up. They also have nice sunglasses,
dresses and a cool mens selection which includes cowboy boots
and tons of suits from the 70s.




A great store with a huge collection of leather jackets,
winter coats and sequined dresses. Check the backroom
for the ultimate goodies. I did not find the ultimate black
leather jacket, but I must say I was impressed with the selection.



One of my favorite stores in LA. Upstairs they carry all
the ultimate within vintage, like Hermes handbags and YSL
dresses from the 70s. Decades Two downstairs, is much more
affordable, and you can find Marc Jacobs, DVF, Missoni and
tons of other designer brands for less. It is still pricey compared
to other vintage stores like Wasteland, but well worth a visit.




The window display at Decades.



After all that shopping, it was time for some r & r. What better
than the worlds best cupcakes from Sprinkles?




The line was insane, at least the whole block (we were in
the middle when I took this photo). At least we had fun!



And it was totally worth it. My favorite? Coconut and vanilla.



My best buy: Pierre Hardy shoes at Decades. I also
bought Pucci shoes and some bracelets.

Tomorrow: Brunch at The Four Seasons

A Scenic Drive

Carmel must be one of the most charming small cities

in the world. After a wonderfull breakfast at the Village Inn

we decided to explore the streets of Carmel. I am wearing

a Vero Moda jacket, Seven for all Mankind jeans, my beloved

Chanel handbag, vintage scarf and sunglasses.

When we finally got to Carmel in the evening the day before,

there was only one room left at the Village Inn. We got one of

their gorgeous and huge suites, which was great after a long drive.

I recommend this cosy Inn to anybody travelling to Carmel.

The morning light and the vibe in this little city was fantastic.

I loved all the small shops and wonderful bakerys and restaurants.

Coffee and pastries. Yum.

One of my favorite store was Fourtane Antique and

Vintage Jewelers. They had a magnificent collection of

vintage jewelry.

The bracelet on the left was my favorite. I swooned

about it all day, but decided it was way to expensive.

Unfortunately, I will probably regret that decision for the

rest of my life. Such beautiful handcraft. We had a great

time in Carmel, but after a few hours it was time to go.

Next stop: Big Sur

Our sweet ass ride. Somewhere on the beautiful coast

between Carmel and Big Sur. I must say that driving a

cabriolet for a long time, was not as glamorous as expected.

I tried to do a Jackie O with a silkscarf, but it kept falling off.

But my husband always have a solution, so his golf cap had

to come on. Maybe not the most stylish solution, but a practical one.

The view was breathtaking.

Big Sur was totally different from what I expected. There was

really no main city, just small shops, restaurants and hotels spread

out along the road. I loved the small shops and bought scented

candles and soaps from the area.



Lots of great places to shop for gifts and souvenirs.

The day was fantastic, with so many beautiful snapshots of people

living a very different lives than us. This drive was one of those great

experiences I will remember and treasure forever.

Next: Vintage shopping in Los Angeles

Last day in San Francisco

On our last day, we got up early so that we could have time for fast sightseeing. My husband spent most of the weekend on the golf course, so he wanted to look around in the city in daylight.

I had to take my husband on cable car and we had so much fun! The sunglasses is from LaRosa Vintage and last days shopping spree. Since it was early in the morning, there was almost no people and we almost got the whole cable car to ourself. We took the cable car to Pholk, then walked back down to Union Square.

Then we relaxed and enjoyed life at a coffee shop in Union Square. I was wearing my new H&M jacket, Acne Jeans, ballerina shoes, and my Gucci bag.

After that, we took a cab to Cow Hollow and walked around in the neighborhood.

I loved all the small and upscale shops.

Eye candy at Shaw.

This store had an amazing collection of designer bracelets and other great jewlery pieces. If you ever go to SF, this is a must visit store.

After that we stopped by Fishermanns Wharf to see it by day. It was the same, but great to have seen it in broad daylight. We really wanted to go to Alcatraz, but the line for the boat was insane, so we decided against it.

Fun at the Golden Gate bridge. We had lunch outdoors while enjoying the view.

Then we got in the car and drove towards Pebble Beach. The view from the glof course was spectacular. My husband was in 7th heaven.

The drive was not only indcredibly romantic, but also a marvel in natures beauty. I must say this day was a day of experiences I will not forget anytime soon. By dark, we landed in Carmel, but I will save that for the next post.

Todays Bargains: Lots of unique bracelets and priceless experiences.

Next: Carmel and Big Sur
