I’m celebrating the weekend in bare legs today with an outfit from a week back, when mum was visiting and the sun was out. Since coming back from Greece, I’ve taken every opportunity to wear oranges and yellows, loving that with my tan, these colours don’t wash me out like they normally do. Nelly the sheltie has given […]
Today’s outfit is from day two of Oslo fashion week. I’ve already told you the story of how I got my hands on this embellished top and shown you how I styled it off-duty with jeans and a fedora. This time I went more dressy and added a grey pencil skirt. Since I don’t have much […]
This outfit was worn out on the town last weekend and it proved quite effective: At TGIF, a man came over to our table solely to compliment me on the way I looked. It was the first time I have received a compliment from a seemingly sober gentleman who wasn’t coming on to me and it really […]
As soon as I saw this jacket in the Bergen chain Emilie last summer, I knew I had to have it! It reminds me so much of the cool jackets from Isabel Marant, but with a very different price tag. In order for the jacket to fit correctly across the shoulders, I had to size […]

I’m now heading back towards the sunshine and I can hardly – rain and grey skies […]
Sometimes I will buy a garment that I love, but when I come home I find it really difficult to build into an outfit. A case in point is the purple shirt I’m wearing today. Admitting this problem to myself has taken a fair bit of soul searching, as I love purple and wouldn’t really like to […]
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 […]
Part 2 of my series Leather fives ways is dedicated to the leather jacket (see part 1 on leather shorts here). Nothing is greater for spicing up an otherwise conservative outfit and make it more urban and/or rocker chic. Today you will see not just one, but two outfits with this jacket. First out is […]
