I notice that the grey weather we’re currently experiencing is having an impact on how I dress — I automatically reach for black and grey, and am unconsciously avoiding colour. Hopefully, I’ll snap out of this drab mood next week sometime, but until this happens you’ll just have to bear with me. This black and white […]
Yesterday, I got some amazing news about a new work project and promptly sat down to knit. Yes, knitting was my celebration! Enjoying life to the fullest is all about doing the things that make you heart sing and knitting happens to be one of these happy things for me. I haven’t picked up a […]
Every morning we head to the beach to soak up some sun and take a cooling swim. It’s a routine that never gets old. While it was a tad hot wearing black yesterday, the hat kept my head cold. And the top covered most of my massive insect bites… Last night we went for dinner in the […]
Like many budding fashionistas, I love wearing a neutral colour palette consisting of black, grey and white. There are many reasons for this — neutral shades are easy to match as they all go together, I look polished and effortless wearing monochrome outfits, and the colour scheme is appropriate for almost any occasion.

I like to dress for the mood I’m in each day. Yesterday, I was a pretty 1950’s swirly girl and today I feel strong and empowered in leather and flares. Truth be told, it’s also quite possible that I feel the exact opposite of what I’m wearing on any given day, as I sometimes use clothes […]

When I wore this outfit to the cinema* last night, my friend commented that I was giving off some serious biker vibes, very different from my usual more classic looks. Since moving to Oslo, I’ve noticed that I often dress more rough and masculine than I did in Bergen. It might be my current job situation, where […]
Today is a good day. A great day, in fact. I got up early, had a really positive meeting, went by the wine shop and picked up the main ingredient for tonight’s welcome drink and am now preparing for tonight’s dinner party. This is the inaugural dinner of my supper club Persilledusken — the Sprig […]
On Saturday, I took my car on an excursion to the shopping centre Sandvika Storsenter to charge up its battery — and possibly to check out a few boutiques in the centre… Sandvika is an affluent part of Oslo and that is reflected in the stores available in the shopping centre. I fell head over […]
Toasting my first visitor welcome! As I mentioned before, I had my first visitor in my new flat this weekend – my close friend Å from Bergen. To show her what a great place Oslo is with me in it, I had lots of activities planned for the weekend. After having dropped off her luggage […]
