Some days I’m just really pleased with how my outfits turn out and today’s is one of those. The colours are just how I pictured them turning out, playing off each other in a cool 1970’s way. I’m also very happy that I found yet another way to wear my orange leather skirt — it was […]
I can’t believe it’s already Friday. It seems like yesterday that I said good bye to my boyfriend at the bus stop and headed home to watch the season start of Downton Abbey. Now I’m already excited about his next visit… While I’m counting the hours, I’m also desperately trying to figure out the correct […]
Though I live a full and happy life here in Oslo, I have missed my friends back in Bergen since I crossed the mountains. We talk regularly on the phone, but this is not the same as hanging out with them over a longer period of time, when we can relax and goof around in each […]
Leopard again, I hear you say. Yes, I’m donning my favourite print for the second time in a week, and I’m proud of it! I wanted to keep today’s outfit really casual, so I teamed my grey leopard print skirt with a grey sweatshirt. Since Kenzo makes sweatshirts for smurfs (I’m wearing XL!), a white shirt […]
There wasn’t much time for blogging last week, as I was busy presenting myself to the exhibitors at Oslo Fashion Week. I’m trying to land a job in fashion — making a long-term dream come true! — and this requires building a network in an industry that is fairly new to me: While I know […]
My favourite textures of cashmere, silk and leather all in one outfit — and I’m topping it off with a hat! What’s not to love?!? Burberry aubergine trench coat // Unknown brand grey scarf // Unknown brand black hat // Anya Hindmarch black handbag // Equipment pink shirt // Zadig & Voltaire grey sweater // Scusi black […]
This is the year of the turtleneck and I’m so happy! As a tall woman with a long neck, wool turtlenecks are always in my repertoire to keep my neck warm — it’s either a turtleneck or a scarf in the cold winter months. When it comes to turtleneck shopping, it’s a matter of finding […]
I’ve got a new haircut! These outfit photos — some with a hat on to really obscure the present state of my hair! — were taken prior to my haircut, including this shot: My hair is long on top and longish on the sides, with a reddish brown colour. And here’s my new cut and […]
A dear friend is visiting from Bergen this weekend and she got us tickets for a Jiri Kylian ballet performance at the Norwegian Opera & Ballet — Den norske opera & ballett. This was the first time I attended a performance in the opera house — previously I’ve just made a quick visit to the foyer. […]
Every year, Norway’s national TV station, NRK, runs a big charity event and this year, the money is spent on building water wells in Africa under the supervision of Kirkens Nødhjelp. The fundraiser took place on Sunday and I was one of thousands of volunteers who walked from door to door collecting money from every […]
