Sommerdager er selve kjernen til pur lykke. I alle fall i min bok. Jeg brukte hele dagen i solen igår, også kvelden. Mallus og jeg lå i "cabana" på Grims Grenka, Oslos kule designhotell, og drakk Strawberry Margaritas til solen gikk ned og enda lenger. Håper dere har en strålende langhelg i solen! Summerdays equals pure joy. At least in my book. I spent all day in the sun, and the night too. Mallus and I hung out in a cabana at Grims Grenka, Oslo's cool design hotel, and drank Strawberry Margaritas until the sun went down and then some. Hope you all are having a lovely longweekend in the sun!

sweet sun shining

I går arrangerte ELLE i samarbeid med Høyer Egertorget kundekveld. Jeg var på plass. Det var god stemning, champagne og klær. Alle sammen ting som gjør livet helt ok. I dag har jeg vært på jobb, dratt hjem tidlig fra jobb, hentet fremkalte bilder fra 17.mai og litt annet, hentet blazer fra rens som de ikke klarte fikse (crap), ligget i solen, kjørt brodern og kjøpt nøtter. Sånn, er dere ikke glade for å bli oppdaterte? lol. ELLE arranged an evening for people who subscript to the magazine together with Høyer Egertorget last night. I was there. The mood was nice, champagne was handed out and there were clothes. All of them things that make life quite ok. Today I've been to work, left work early, picked up pictures from May 17th, picked up my blazer from the dry-cleaner, enjoyed the sun, given my brother a lift and bought nuts. There, aren't you all happy to be fully updated? lol.

lwd

h&m/elinkling Jeg trenger denne hvite kjolen! Jeg trenger den så innmari. Perfekt på alle måter, perfekt å style hit og dit, og seffffffffffffff utsolgt i butikk. På H&M webshop har de den bare i 42. Gaaaaaaaaaaah. Noen som vet hvordan størrelsene på den er? I need this dress! I need it bad. It's perfect in so many ways, perfect to style like this and like that, and of course, sold out in stores. The H&M webshop has it, but only in a size 42. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Anybody know how the sizes are?

tina

Hvis du vil se en gudinne i levende live foreslår jeg at du tar en tur innom Høyer Egertorget og deres By Malene Birger-avdeling. Der står hun nemlig! Tina er utrolig søt og grei, og ser bare himla kul ut. Rett og slett. If you want to see a goddess alive and kicking I suggest you stop by Høyer Egertorget's By Malene Birger-department. Cuz there she is! Tina is really nice and sweet, and looks friggin cool.

layers

Levi's denim shirt- secondhand Maxi-dress H&M Lag på lag er deilig når du egentlig er keen på å gå i pysjen eller koseklær. Layers are comfy when all you really want to wear are your pyjamas.

givenchy fall/winter 09

fashiongonerogue Preview av Givenchys kampanje for høsten. Adriana Lima, Victoria's Secret-baben, er blant modellene. Kjenner du henne igjen? Tror i alle fall vi må forberede oss på mørke, fremhevede lepper. Lol. Noe som betyr at jeg kommer til å se ut som frk Dracula til høsten(fordi jeg har ganske store lepper, og ser veldig morsk ut hvis jeg ikke smiler) Preview of Givenchy's fall/winter 09 campaign. Adriana Lima, the Victoria's Secret-babe, is among the models. Do you recognize her? I think we should start preparing for dark, accentuated lips. Lol. Which basically means that I am gonna look like Miz Dracula this fall ( I got quite big lips, and look fairly mean when I don't smile).

snakeskin

Snakeskin skirt from MAJE at net-a-porter Ok. Jeg sliter litt med det her. Dere som leser dette og kjenner meg, vet at jeg dævver av slanger. Jeg syns ikke de er litt morsomme engang. Hvis jeg leser i avisen og blar over på en side hvor det av en eller annen uforståelig grunn er en slange, hyler jeg, kaster fra meg avisen og går resten av dagen rundt i angst mens jeg forbanner fotografen som tok det dumme bildet. Og nå er slangeskinn på full fart inn i trendbildet. Tut tut, her kommer jeg, sier slangeskinnet, og pryder vesker, skjørt, tights og så videre. For min del syns jeg det er himla kult på vesker. De har en clutch på Gina Tricot som jeg funderer på å anskaffe meg. Bare kjipern hvis jeg blir dritstressa hver gang jeg skal hente den ut fra skapet fordi jeg tror det er en ekte jævel. Ok. I struggle with this. Those of you who read this and know me, knows that snakes make me want to die. They frighten me to the core. If I'm reading the newspaper and turn over a page where a snake for some reason is pictured, I scream, throw the newspaper away and walk around in anxiety the rest of the day while I curse the photographer. And now snakeskin is on its way onto the trendmap. Here I come, says the snakeskin, and is seen on purses, skirts, tights and so on. I think it's cool on bags. They have a clutch at Gina Tricot which I am thinking about buying. It just sucks if I get stressed out everytime I go to take it out of the closet because I think there's a real mo-fo in there.

light makes me calm/ shadows give me shelter

ru_glamour I love it when photographers really use light and shading in their work. Ben Hassett is the photographer, and I want these on my wall to look at, just to make me happy, think, wonder, inspired. The model is Bianca Balti, quite the hottie. And ain't the patent tube top paired with the black pants something?

kate moss for topshop

topshop Høysommerkolleksjonen er ute nå, og jeg går bananas. Fjær, store øreringer, armbånd, frynser, alt jeg elsker og mer til! Klærne er sykt fine, Kate Moss er så fresh atte hjelp og røde lepper er jeg bare nødt til å prøve ut nå. Og jeg sier bare bangles baby! The high summer collection is out now, and I am going bananas. The clothes are insane, Kate Moss is looking so gorgeous and I seriously need to try out red lips ASAP. I also add this; bangles baby!

secondhand dress bullet belt- By Malene Birger Nå sitter jeg i finstasen og skal snart trudelure bort til Blid. Hun har bursdag. Alle si hurra for Blid. Litt usikker på antrekket, kjøpt meg et bonde/blondeskjørt fra Zara, men æh, har jo solt meg, ergo vil jeg vise ben. Dilemma. Antrekket er ikke det vist over, det hadde jeg på meg i går. Er ikke kjolen fin? Min kjære mormor har trikset litt på den, og gjort den helt nydelig. I am all dolled up and about to roll on over to Happy. It's her birthday. Everybody say hurrah. I am a bit unsure about what to wear, I bought this peasant skirt from Zara, but I have been tanning, which means I'd like to show some leg. Dilemma. The outfit isn't what you see above, I wore that yesterday. Isn't the dress lovely. My dear grandma has fixed it a bit here and there, and made it beautiful.

freudian kicks by freudian kicks

One of my aboslute fave stores in Oslo is launching a clothing line for men and women. Yay! I was supposed to attend the launch party this wednesday I think, but decided to go to the gym in stead. You can kick that reasoning to where the sun don't shine. Go check it out at Freudian Kicks at Posthallen in Oslo. On sale as of today I think! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

elizabeth & james shoes

shopbop Åkej, hvor himla herlig er ikke livet? Gjett hvor jeg befinner meg nå? Ute i solen. Gjett hva jeg har på meg? Bikini! Fy fader, dra meg baklengs inn i fuglekassa. Jeg sa til himmelen og den som skulle være der oppe at jeg tiltet hvis jeg ikke fikk brunet litt, og hurra, de hørte meg. Enda bedre nyheter; Elizabeth & James har lansert sko-kolleksjon. Jeg vil ha de over, å som jeg liker. Forresten har H&M et lignende par, prøvde de i går, men de var intet mindre enn et helvete å ha på. Men dere kan prøve dere? Ok, how great is life? Guess where I am right now? Outside in the sun. Guess what I'm wearing? A bikini! God damn, it be good. I told heaven and the dude or dudette up there that I would freak if I did not get to tan a bit, and hurrah, they listened. Even better news; Elizabeth & James has launched shoes to their brand. I want the ones above. BTW, H&M's got a pair quite like them, tried them on yesterday, but they were kind of like walking with hell on your feet. But you can give it a go?

bik bok yes tee

I saw the YES tee in the Bik Bok store in Oslo today. I like it, and then I'm not so sure either. YES is printed with sequins. I can't decide, soooooooooooooo, the question is; yes or no?

Sophomore fall 09

you'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be Do you like the new header? I've had it in my inbox for months, I can be kind of slow at times. It's made by my BFF Caroline, which is a project manager in an advertising agency, but should be an artist. That's what I think. She even drew my tooth-gap!

summer lovin'

Tee from Rodebjer, shorts from Elizabeth & James, Chloé and Anna Sui/net-a-porter/rodebjer Etter inspo fra Benedicte og hennes snakk om Gina-shortsen/Chloé-shortsen tenkte jeg å vise frem noen av mine favoritter. I sommer er det vel nærmest like greit å drite en lang marsj i skjørtet (noe jeg syns er himla vanskelig) og putte på deg en shorts i stedet. Jo kortere jo bedre, ifølge, vel, meg. Disse tre er mine favoritter, elsker kanten på Chloé-shortsen, paljettene på Anna Sui-en og fargene i den batikk-inspirerte Elizabeth & James'en. Og dere, jeg dævver av tee'en fra Rodebjer. Den er så fiiiiin. Noen som har sett den i butikk noen sted? Got inspired by Benedicte (link above) and her talk about the Gina-shorts (posted yesterday) and Chloé-shorts, and thought I 'd show you some of my faves. This summer you can literally just say eff you to the skirt (which I find quite hard) and get your shorts on. The shorter, the better,as stated by, well, me. These are my three faves, I love the waistline on the Chloé-shorts, the sequins on the Anna Sui one, and the colours in the Elizabeth & James one. And guys, the tee from Rodebjer; I die. I looooove it. Anyone seen it in stores somewhere?

smiling inside you guys

Det er helg! Det er onsdag og det er helg. Jobb og trening er overstått, nå skal jeg krype opp i sofaen med druer og Paradise Hotel Danmark. Vedder på at det er rimelig mye mer action der enn på den norske. Men der var det jo nada, så ganske enkelt å toppe det. Weekend! Ah, it's wednesday and weekend. Work and working out is done for the day, now I am jumping up into the couch with grapes. Gonna watch Paradise Hotel Denmark. I bet there's a lot more action on that show than the norwegian one. Well, there was no action what so ever on the norwegian show, so quite simple to top that. Blazer- Gina Tricot Crop top- H&M Silk shorts- Gina Tricot

bags bags bags bags

Miles Aldridge / Calikartel Lol, jeg bare måtte poste dette bildet. Har jeg fortalt at når jeg skal til USA i sommer kan jeg ha med meg bagasje som til sammen passer i to KIWI-poser? Vi skal jo kjøre cab i California, og cabrioleter har ikke akkurat mye bagasjerom. Bildet over er vel drømmen, men det virkelige liv består altså av to handleposer. Noen forslag til hva jeg absolutt burde ta med? Lol, I just had to post this. Did I tell you that when I'm roadtripping in the US this summer, I can bring baggage that together fits into two regular sized shopping-bags? We're driving a convertible in California, and there ain't much baggage space. The pic above is the dream, but real life actually consists of two shopping-bags. Any suggestions as to what I most definitely should bring?

i'm a lover, not a fighter

My bullet-belt. I have actually always wanted one, and this is perfection. It makes me bulletproof. Lol 17. mai kom, så, erobret og forsvant. Rart det der. Dagen var i alle fall fantastisk! Alexander Rybak hadde vunnet Grand Prix, solen skinte og jeg ble bruuuun! Ah. Ikke så himla brun da, men litt solskinn i trynet er ikke å skimse av. Litt for mye sol på Mallas utringning derimot, det må man passe seg for. Eller egentlig ikke, for jeg får jo noe å le av. Lol. Hva gjorde dere? Jeg vil vite det. Nå skal jeg fortelle hva jeg gjorde, enten dere vil høre det eller ei. Vi startet dagen på Cathinkas takterrasse med herlig mat og sprudlende drikke. Jeg fikk jordbær, og jordbær gjør meg glad. Så dro vi på Solli, og jeg fikk øl. Da blir jeg også glad. Blir derimot ikke så glad av å betale 80 spenn for en 0,33 boksøl, men hei, man kan ikke få glede ut av absolutt alt. Jeg opplevde masse rart. En kar tok paparazzi-bilder av meg i mine John Lennon-solbriller mens vennene hans smilte til meg/lo rått av meg (kommer litt an på fra hvilken vinkel en velger å se det på). Jeg fikk en øl over hele meg, og konseptet wet t-shirt ble kjent for meg. Petter "PH" Pilgaard sto på et bord og keeget seg ved oss, og ble heftig stirret på av Marti. Så knakk bordet til PH-Petter. Ricky Martin kom på høyttaleren, og vi er jo gamle venner fra NYC så jeg vrikket/vagget bortover mens jeg ropte OPA! Noe den første Ungkaren Stig Kjos syns var morsomt/nerd (også litt alt ettersom). Fikk han til slutt med på en OPA! da. Så vurderte jeg om jeg skulle gå inn på en russebuss og danse på taket. Gjorde det ikke. Gikk inn på SW20, fikk en gratis øl. Hurra. Dro på Friday's på Aker Brygge og var litt spådame ned i en drink som smakte SOLO. Men så gikk det over, og vi fant ut at det bare gikk en vei;opp. Dro tilbake til takterrassen og grillet, lo hardt av prinsipper (for hvem trenger vel det?), spiste kake og is, dro til Steven på fest. Danset heftig til Rybak sånn ish 50 ganger. Plutselig var det over, og jeg våknet som et sykt slitent mandagsbarn. May 17th came, saw and conquered. Funny. Anywho, it was a fantastic day! Alexander Rybak won MGP, the sun was shining and I got a tan! Ah. Well, not that tanned, but still, some colour to the face is better than none at all. That doesn't go for Malla's cleavage though, which definitely can get a bit too much sun. Lol. What did you all do? I wanna know. We had breakfast at Cathinka's roof-top terrace, and then went down to Solli Plass. I had an amazing time, all the peeps were in a great mood. A dude was trying to go all paparazzi on me, to the amusement of all his friends. I think they thought my John Lennon glasses were hilarious. Oh well. Also got a beer all over me, so I got to experience the wet t-shirt concept for myself. They started pumping out Ricky Martin over the speekers, and I went OPA! all over the floor, which the bachelor Stig Kjos thought was fun or geeky, depending on how you see it. We went to TGIF on Aker Brygge for drinks, and then went back to the terrace for some good ol' BBQ. Later on we went to Steven's party, and danced our asses off to Fairytale some one hundred times. All of a sudden it was over, and I awoke monday a very tired monday child. UPDATE: LOTS OF WORDS. GUESS I HAD A LOT TO SAY.

pocahontas and fairytales

poncho from By Malene Birger, cut-off denimshorts secondhand Levi's. I'm in love with a fairytale, even though it hurts. Cause I don't care if I loose my mind, I'm already cursed. Gaaaah! Like do you even care that Eurovision Song contest is the cheesiest, most hilarious contest there is? I sure as hell don't, I'm gonna be humming "Fairytale" today, tomorrow, I believe all week. Alexander Rybak, also known as Alexander the great here in Norway, is our knight in shining armor. Our prince. Ah. I bet he's gonna have a happy ever after. Just like in the fairytales. Woooooooooooooooooooot Update: I look a bit lost in the photo. I thought it was about time I showed my true colours:)

what i want to wear

hannelimustaparta Jeg grubler og grubler over morgendagens 17. mai-antrekk. Mistet pusten når jeg gikk inn på Hannelis blogg og så dette bildet. Sånn vil jeg gå i morgen. Men har jeg kjole fra Miu Miu, neonrosa sykkelshorts fra American Apparel eller wedges fra Acne? Nei. Men dette er ikke ment for å kopieres heller syns jeg, Hanneli er Hanneli, det skal bare nytes. I can't stop thinking about what to wear tomorrow. I lost my breath when I saw this pic at Hanneli's blog. That's what I want to wear tomorrow. But do I have a dress from Miu Miu, neon pink bicycle shorts from American Apparel or wedges from Acne? No. But I don't think this is meant to be copied, Hanneli is Hanneli, we should just enjoy it.

look of the day half and half

Tok halv og halv i dag og jeg. Begynte dagen med collegegenser fra American Apparel, silkeskjørt fra By Malene Birger og knall oransje Tory Burch ballerinas. Avsluttet dagen med samme antrekk og H&M wedge-booties. Imorgen er det lørdag, og jeg SKAL bli brun. Skal også fundere over hva jeg skal ha på meg 17. Har bunad, men den fikses på, så kan ikke ha den. Har dere noen tips? Jeg vurderer en hvit kjole som på en måte er litt makrame'et nederst, men den har lange ermer, og det blir kanskje litt varmt det gitt. Ah, mine dilemmaer. Akk og ve. Went half and half today as well. Started the day with my oversized college sweater from American Apparel, silk skirt from By Malene Birger and bright orange Tory Burch ballerinas. Rounded the day off with the same outfit and H&M wedge-booties. It's saturday tomorrow, and I'm going to get a tan. I'm also going to wonder about what I'm wearing may 17th. I have a national "costume"(don't know the English word), but it's getting fixed, so won't be able to wear it. Do you have any tips? I am seriously thinking about a white dress I have which is kinda macrame'd at the bottom, but it is long-sleeved, and maybe it'll get a bit too hot for it? Ah, the "dilemmas" I am faced with you guys.

jeepers they look like creepers

refinery29 acne fall 09 shoe collection Noen av skoene i Acne's høstkolleksjon. Hva syns dere? Deler av meg dras tilbake til ungdomsskolen, Spice Girls og Buffalos, en annen del av tiltrekkes mot det futuristiske uttrykket på en gooooood måte. Klarer ikke bestemme meg. Flere av skoene er tydelig inspirert av creepers, som har blitt sett på ulike kule damer i det siste. Some of the shoes in Acne's fall collection. What do you think? Parts of me gest thrown back to junior high, Spice Girls and Buffalos, and other parts of me are drawn towards the futuristic expression in a very goooooood way. I can't decide. Several of them are clearly inspired of creepers, which has been spotted on several cool ladies as of late.

shopping is my life

justjared Jonah Hill in the June issue of Harper's Bazaar. He spoofs Speidi (Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt) in the pic and also says: “Shopping is my life. My life is shopping. If Kitson became a country, I would pack up my belongings, move there, and apply for citizenship.” Lol. Note to self; must watch Superbad again in near future. Seen it a gazillion times, but still I can't get enough. Boop boop!

let me in

The Selby Julia Roitfeld at home in New York City. I love people who read. I love people with books. I love books.

two in one

I went half and half today. White blazer from Zara, jumpsuit from H&M, Converse or By Malene Birger booties. The belt is wicked cool, and comes from By Malene Birger. I wore this to Benedicte's 25th birthday on saturday but paired it with brown cut-out ballerinas, grey blazer and feather necklace. Hva er oppe? Nei, det er vel like mye oppe som det er nede. Ja ja. Sånn er det. Røra litt rundt overalt i dag, et av de stedene var jobb. Man skal jo ikke egentlig røre på jobb da. Derfor jobbet jeg litt og. Nå har jeg ligget og døst litt på sofaen, og tenkt at jeg burde være ute. Nå er det uansett for sent, for jeg må stikke avgårde. Blid og jeg har PT-time! What up? I guess just as much as what is down. Yes. That's the way it is. Been doing a little bit of this and that today, one of the places I did this and that was work. Now I've been relaxing on the sofa, thinking that I should be outside. Anyways, now it's tooooo late, because I got to go. Happy and I have a date with the PT!

there are places i'll remember, all my life though some have changed

(John Lennon) Vintage sunglasses, mom's old sweater. If someone is inspiring you, it might as well be John Lennon. Well actually, to be correct, my initial inspiration came from M-K, but what the hell. I like them. I look like a dork, but still, I usually do don't I? So, anywho, it's a month and two days until the vacation of a lifetime, it's mondays and I don't like mondays, the sun is shining though, and this is the last week PH is on. It's oh joy and oh crap all at the same time. Funny how that is.
