The harbour in Chania is called the Old Venitian Harbour and it’s not hard to understand why — both the architecture and the embiance of the two cities are very similar. Here’s a small taste! PS // Check out how I wore this white lace top with palm print culottes in a previous outfit. Vero […]
The last couple of days have been quite windy and this has made the temperatures very comfortable here in Crete — like natural air conditioning. In between sightseeing and hours spent on the beach, we’ve taken a dip in the hotel pool. The pool is colder than the ocean and it’s nice to give the eyes […]
We are not spoilt for sunshine in Norway and being able to head out for dinner in a skimpy dress and sandals is one of my favourite parts of summer. Here in Greece I can do it every night! Though this photograph is a bit out of focus — my photographer is still in training! […]
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 […]
Now I’m sitting in the shade by the hotel pool, enjoying a G&T and looking through the photographs from the first couple of days here in Crete. We are staying in a hotel one minute from the beach just outside Chania, in Agia Marina. At 44, this is my first ever beach holiday and though […]
Since I only arrived in Greece yesterday and don’t intend to spend my entire holiday inside working on my computer, I’ve prepared a post in advance for you today. It’s still summery, so just pretend that I’m standing in the shade of a palm tree nursing an ice cream. To come with me on my travels, follow me […]
Today I’m off to Greece! I’m probably already on the plane while you’re reading this and I’ll be so excited, I’ll be bouncing off the airplane walls. I’ve always been quite a globetrotter, but for the past couple of years I haven’t been able to go on holidays, so today’s trip is especially precious. Truth be […]
No, I’m not sunburnt, though soon I might be! I’m leaving for Greece tomorrow and “I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it”. A close friend has treated me to a week’s holiday in Chania, Greece. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful and supportive friends who go out of their way to help me […]
Today’s goal is to inspire you to wear shorts to work, if you get your hands on an elegant pair like these from DAY. For me and many other tall girls — OK, women — our legs as our best assets and some of us show them off any chance we get. I was going to say […]
Many, many weeks ago, when it was still cold and miserable here in Oslo, this sunburst of a dress hang all by itself on a rack at H&M and called out my name. It turned out that the dress was an online exclusive purchase that somebody had returned that day. One woman’s trash, another woman’s […]
