White Christmas

Happy Holidays

leila hafzi 1719

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

siljela

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

NYogLA2009 341

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

NYogLA2009 291

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

NYogLA2009 064

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!

Have you startet Christmas shopping already?

A night at the Opera

IMG_4189

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.

Faux Fur

This jacket was one of the bargains I picked up in New York during NY Fashion Week. Its so fluffy and warm and perfect for Norways chilly fall weather. I love the fall colors, the way everything just get so fresh, the colors, smells and the crisp air. Today I am meeting some friends and just relaxing after a week filled with press viewings of next spring & summer fashion, and viewing of the new Jimmy Choo line for H&M. I am definitely getting my hands on one of the dresses and a clutch, when it hits stores at the 14 of November. Hope you are having a wonderful saturday!

Black & Grey

leila hafzi 1231

Hi everybody, Hope you all are having a great friday!
I spent yesterday working on different projects but also meeting up with friend Line for a nice lunch in the sun. Its getting colder here and I find myself being drawn to black and greys. But I have not given up on color yet, grey and pink is another favorite of mine that I will be wearing very soon. I am also so into the Alexander Wang braid, its the perfect hairdo for bad hairdays. I just tease my hair, put in some longer extensions and braid it from the side. A five minute perfection. This weekend I am off to visit one of my favorite vintage shops, so hope I hope to pick up some good bargains.
Have a great weekend!

Fall in Oslo

leila hafzi 886
Its really getting cold in Oslo. This is what I was wearing a couple of days ago and one of my favorite outfits for fall. Besides all the faux fur I have picked up, a leather jacket and the studded bag from Zara is perfect wardrobe essentials for me. I also try to wear my open toe shoes as long as possible, so over the knee socks are a great solution. I have not found any over knee boots that I like yet, I think many ends up looking like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, but the search continues this weekend.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Outfit: Leather jacket from Voice, wool jacket and shoes from Zara, over knee socks from Pierre Robert, Levis denimshorts, scarf from H&M.

I cant really believe its been two weeks since New York Fashion Week already. But you know what they say, time flies. We had such a wonderful time, even though we worked a lot. It was so much happening at the same time. Fashion shows, interviews, events, shopping and fun, fun, fun. I am so sorry about the late update, but I hope you enjoy it.
My favorite moments from New York: Dancing with Alexander Wang (really!), Interview with Phillip Lim behind 3.1 Phillip Lim, Opening of Fashion Week, BCBG fashion show, Fashions Night Out (bananas!), shopping, sushi and vintageshopping. Thanks to Janet for the Divine Award!

Hi Everybody! Hope you all are having a great time. I am in New York, covering New York Fashion Week and having a fab time. If you want to follow my adventures head over to minMote, because I dont think I will have time to update both blogs. We are working extremely long days to cover everything, and yesterday I got to be on the set of SATC 2! So much fun seeing Kim Cattrall in 80s costume. Today I was at the BCBG fashion show and had to pinch myself when Anna Wintour, Kate Lanphear, Suzy Menkes was sitting a couple of rows in front of me. I also met up with fellow blogger Rumi, such a sweet girl. Dont forget to check out the pictures and videos at minMote!
