In Australia, the first Friday in August is Jeans for genes day, a major fundraising campaign for the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI). Today Australians will slip on their favourite jeans and dig deep in their pockets in support of this fantastic cause. When fellow blogger Allison of Sydney Fashion Hunter decided to dedicate her Friday post to Jeans for genes […]
On Sunday, mum and I headed to the Vigelandspark — mum hadn’t been in years and we knew the overcast weather would be putting people off going there. Except for a few tourists, we basically had the park to ourselves and Nelly got to sniff bushes and corners to her heart’s desire. Sniffing (and marking) […]
It seems like summer has finally arrived here in Oslo and it’s getting warmer by the day! Yesterday I managed to sit on the balcony in a deck chair three times 20 minutes in between the dark clouds blocking the sun. Today the blue sky is spotless and the temperature this afternoon is supposed to exceed 20 degrees. […]
For women of all shapes and sizes, peplum tops are great at creating curves — the hourglass figure that is oh, so sexy and slimming — while simultaneously hiding our tummy. Being 183 cm/6 ft tall, I have a really hard time finding peplum tops that are long enough in the torso. Most tops’ waistline is just […]
If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I love my neutrals, and in particular greys. I think it looks so chic when you match different shades of grey in one outfit and offset them with a bit of crisp white. For spring, a widelegged pair of dressy grey trousers is on […]
This outfit started with the skirt — being on its way to the charity shop! I’ve had it for about 11 years and every year I debate whether to keep it or not. As I paired the skirt with the racy snake print tights from H&M, I realised that it deserves at least another year […]
This is the second outing in a week for my DIY’ed denim skirt (see other outfit here). I’d better get some use out of it now that I finally like it! On this particularly cold day I was in a casual mood and paired the skirt with a plaid shirt and trainers. I would have […]
This post could also be called All action in front, nothing in the back… I have to admit, this outfit came together by accident. As I was looking for a white shirt, I put on this sweatershirt to keep me warm. And voila, I liked how it looked with the skirt and the necklace, […]
Inspired by Alicia’s chic casual outfit over at Cheetah is the new black, I created my own version today, using my chambray shorts. These shorts started out as some weirdly cropped trousers that I never could make myself wear, though I loved the fabric. Out came the scissors, a round in the wash and some […]
UK InStyle (photo above) is not the only magazine feeling the blues at the moment. Blue in all its shades and patterns are one of the biggest trends for the summer, and who doesn’t want to dress in the colour of the sea and the sky? While many designers this season went to extremes and […]
