This is art, my dear

Free as a bird..

2011-11-09T09:39:00.001-08:00

I have planned to take a swallow tattoo for ages now.. I have a tattoo on my left wrist, which says "This bird has flown", from the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood". So, I want the swallow as a connection between that phrase and other meanings. I think I want the simple kind, like these above. Simple art.

Peace

Live through this and you won't look back..

The biggest inspiration of all - love. I have a tendency to feel melancholy when it comes to love. Not because I don't have it in my life, but I suppose all the books, poetry and movies about true love has started to have an impact on me. And after all, love is the biggest inspiration for the most beautiful music and litterature in history. So I am in good company.

Peace & Love

Home is where your heart is..

2011-10-16T02:34:00.001-07:00

It's no secret that I believe in the power of words, which is why I love making out words of what is important to me. I think it shows my personality in my home. Also, I have this amazing elephant that my father actually bought, but my mother hated it so he gave it to me (yay!). I think it's amazing. And with my love for India and the Orient, it fits perfectly in my livingroom. And it's naturally placed together with my yoga mat.

Hope you all have had an amazing weekend - peace

It's shiny

2011-09-01T12:48:00.001-07:00

One of the new autumn colors from Isadora. You can't see it that clearly on the picture, but it's sort of a brown/bronze feel to it. It's so cool. They have another as well, which is pretty similar, except a green tone instead. It's really a must for the a/w season.

Peace

In joy and sorrow..

2011-08-08T03:12:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry about the horrible blogger I've been. I will, once again, try and get better. But it's been summer, and I've had so much to do. And in the middle of everything, my beautiful country and hometown was attacked in the most horrible and brutal way. Everything else has just seemed too trivial after that. But I have never been prouder to be a Norwegian, and as a people we will get over this as well. What I am proudest of is definitely our response; we responded with love, compassion and roses.

Peace

Happy times

2011-06-10T02:41:00.000-07:00

My outfit a few days ago. I was strolling around town, going to markets and just enjoying the beautiful summer day. This week it has been raining - constantly. I want the sun back.

Peace

Tattoos are forever

2011-06-05T03:16:00.000-07:00

I love Kim Saigh! You know, I've never been a big fan of Kat von D (probably because of my slight jealousy over her relationship with Nikki Sixx). She seems to try to be more of a rock star than a tattoo artist. Still, as I love tattoos, I had to watch LA Ink. Which is where I saw Kim. She is adorable! And an amazing artist. I love people with their own style, and Kim is gorgeous (she probably has the prettiest smile in the world) and she kicks ass.
Girl crush much? Yup.
Oh, I want another tattoo..

Peace - enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Collecting your jar of hearts..

2011-06-03T13:13:00.000-07:00

This time I have a reason for my blog absense; I have a concussion! Of course this came at a great time (though when is it ever a good time to get a concussion?)So I was instructed by the doctor to completely relax, with no TV, no internet, and no reading. Which is hopeless, in case non of you have tried this before.. No TV; yes, no internet; sure, if I absolutely have to, but no reading? Then what am I supposed to do? You read a lot during the day, let me tell you.

But now I am declaring myself.. Uhm.. Ready to read and stuff again. So now I am going to enjoy the summer that suddenly appeared in Oslo! So if I now can decide which of these nailpolish to wear, my weekend will be great.

Peace

I want good dreams

2011-05-29T15:08:00.000-07:00

The Ojibwa believe that a dreamcatcher changes a person's dreams. According to Konrad J. Kaweczynski, "Only good dreams would be allowed to filter through . . . Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day. Good dreams would pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper.

2011-05-28T14:52:00.001-07:00

Oh dear lord, I am so sorry.... I didn't realize that the last picture was A) of horrible quality (this is what happens when you live by yourself - no one to take your picture!) and B) that my mess was in the background. I just snapped these pictures before I went to work yesterday, so didn't bother to look at them until now. Oh well.. You get the gist.
Hope all of you has a great weekend! My is being spent reading books and magazines, with inscence and candles lighting up my place.

I ain't never seen nothing like a Galway girl

2011-05-27T02:45:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to go to Ireland for a long time now, but lately I've been wanting it even more. I guess I am picturing this dream scenario, with beautiful nature (which I really can't complaing about, considering the fact that I live in Norway), handsome-guitar playin'-singing Irish men, with pubs and Irish songs.. I'm a huge daydreamer, and this is occupying my mind at the moment. Why, you say? Because of this:

This is one sad movie. Seriously, I start crying just talking about it (not kidding - I was gonna explain it to my boyfriend, and I started crying). I'm not gonna write a movie review here, you guys just have to watch it yourselves. And now I am reading the book. It's 500 pages, and I've read 400 of them for the past 6 days. Yup, it's good. Anyway, I hope my next vacation will be Ireland.

Peace

P.S. I will be a better blogger from now on. But I think I might change a bit. Maybe a bit more lifestyle, and everything that inspires me - not just fashion.

Paradise City

2011-04-27T12:10:00.000-07:00

Ah, home from New York! I adore that city. My bf and I had an amazing week. In my very messy suitcase I have a couple of dresses from Malene Birger, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors amongst others. Where I found it (for a much cheaper price) will I tell you about later. Right now I am enjoying a cup of tea, some scented candles and cnsidering to unpack.. I probably won't quite yet, though.

Peace

New York, New York

2011-04-17T03:16:00.000-07:00

I've been without internet in my new apartment for a while, therefore the lack of updates! Unfortunately there might be lacks of updates a while longer, because my boyfriend and I are going to New York on Tuesday. I can't wait! I love New York, and my bf has never been there, so I'm sure we'll have tons of fun.

On another note, I love living in Oslo. I have a cute little apartment, my new working place is great, and I'm super happy.

Now I have to run for my yoga class. Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

My Time Is Now

2011-04-01T16:45:00.000-07:00

I'm just thinking about decorating right now, and very little (okay, that's a lie.. Let' say; not as much as usual) about clothes. Reason? Because I am moving to Oslo! And I'm super excited. I've lived in Trondheim for almost three years (except the time I spent in San Francisco), so I am looking forward to spending my time in our capital. And I've gotten an apartment, so I am just trying to think about how I want to decorate it. French shabby chic? Hippie? Indian/hippie/tons of Buddhas-Indian-style?

I'm confused.....

But so incredibly excited to get down to Oslo! And Sunday is the big day. Hope everyone is as happy as I feel right now!

Peace

Release me

Sienna Miller has to be the queen of off-duty clothing. Or actually, she's the queen of all clothing. She is beautiful no matter what she does. She is definitely my biggest style icon. Who's yours?

I got this new faux fur jacket a couple of weeks ago. I love it! It's not spring outside yet, so it is still perfect to be using outside at this temperature. I have been looking for this type of faux fur for a long time; a light color, and the perfect length.
However, even though I do love this jacket, spring would still be prefereable. It snowed today.. It's sad, I know.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

2011-03-15T04:35:00.000-07:00

I'm spending a lot of time (or as much as I can) with my boyfriend who lives in Stockholm, and this weekend we had the pleasure of some company. So while bf worked, the rest of us went shopping. Or, Karine and I went shopping, her poor husband were sort of dragged along. Anyway, I've discovered an amazing product; Oceans salt from Lush. I know we have Lush in Norway as well, but for some reason I hadn't been there until now. I've tried to scrub my skin 2-3 times a week, but I always seem to forget. But this product makes me remember, simply because it's amazing!
Oh, and you can also see who made it (hence the face on the box). Plus, it's all made of natural products, and if you come back with four containers or something, you get a free facial mask. Now, how awesome is that? Great beauty products, AND you can help saving the environment.

Guest Designer

2011-03-03T03:48:00.000-08:00

I guess everyone in Norway knows this by now, but Whitney Port is going to be the new guest designer for Bik Bok. After what I heard, she will also be visiting Oslo and Stockholm when the line is launched. So. what do you guys think? For me, her collections are a bit too girly. It's cute, but way too.. Well.. Cute. I'll probably check it out, but I doubt that I'll be waiting in line.

As I walk inside of my private prison..

2011-02-15T07:01:00.000-08:00

Again, sorry for the lack of blogging but I have been visiting this lovely store in Paris! Okey, I've done other things there too of course.. I love Paris. And I ate the best sushi of my life! Now I'm looking forward to New York in April with bf. After that my wallet says that it's enough traveling for a while.

So, what has everyone been up to while I've been gone?

Peace

Going faster than a rollercoaster..

2011-01-17T06:18:00.000-08:00

Off to work (a few days ago..) You don't want to see today's oufit; workout clothes and no make-up. I've been studying all day (yay for no more vacation :/), and I'm off to work out after that.
On that note, I'm not really sure how to dress for the weather outside right now. 0 degrees (celcius), rainy and super icy on the ground. I should wear a thousand layers so that in case I fall, I will at least land soft. Not very blogger friendly.

Top and necklace; H&M.

In the valley of tears

2011-01-09T14:30:00.000-08:00

Yes, this is my bookshelf. Why are there clothes there, you might ask. I'll tell you why. Because my closet it full, my drawer has almost collapsed (don't think it could handle the weight of my tops and sweaters), so this was my last option. I will seriously marry the person that gives me a walk-in-closet. I am going to Paris in February for my birthday, and I am considering a shopping-stop until that. I think my shelves/closet/drawer will appreciate it.

Peace

A new year - what to make of it..

2011-01-06T15:10:00.000-08:00

I didn't really make any resolutions this year. It never seems to work out anyway, so I might as well save the energy. Nevertheless, I still have hopes for the new year. 2010 was a good year, but I am hoping that 2011 will be a great one. It started out pretty great, as I spent New Years Eve in Stockholm with amazing people. So, let's just hope that the start was only a preview for what's about to come.

How's you year been so far?

Peace

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go..

2010-12-21T04:56:00.000-08:00

Not the best pictures, but these are just a preview, I suppose. This is what I am planning to wear on December 23rd (or little Christmas Eve, as we call it in Norway). I am working before I am going home, and I want to dress up a bit. So this is a good time to finally use my Lanvin skirt.
Now I must run; I am sligthly late with my Christmas shopping, so must finish everything today.

Peace

Body; Nelly.com, Skirt; Lanvin

So why do we talk when we dance so good?

2010-12-15T16:33:00.001-08:00

One day soon, my day will consist of Vogue and a cup of Christmas tea. For now it consists of work, Christmas shopping, saying my temporary goodbyes, and trying to work out in the midst of it all. At least Vogue is lying here, waiting for me.

Peace

Lanvin loves H&M pt.2

2010-11-24T06:46:00.000-08:00

Let's just say that you could easily see who worked at H&M when the Lanvin collection was opened at H&M yesterday. We also wore red lipstick. That is one big flower.

Did anyone buy anything from the collection?

The pass is stronger than my will to forgive..

2010-11-20T03:36:00.000-08:00

You can't really see it in the pictures, but I am wearing leather pants here. My job outfit on, uhm, Thursday, I think. Big rings will never get old, I still have a crush on them.

Leather pants; H&M, Sweater; GinaTricot, Rings; H&M, Fretex, Market in Notting Hill.

I won't go near you again..

2010-11-18T02:16:00.000-08:00

I adore this song! It could be because I tend to identify myself with it a bit too often. But then again, who doesn't identify with songs..

Enjoy!

Wouldn't it be nice..

2010-11-14T07:20:00.000-08:00

Right now, I am sitting inside with a cup of tea, looking out at the snow, and digesting last night. And what a night. I sang all night, drank wine, laughed and spent it with amazing people. And it's all more than a feeling.

Peace

Lanvin loves H&M

2010-11-05T02:14:00.000-07:00

I know everybody is writing about Lanvin these days, but is there any wonder? An amazing designer which H&M is bringing to us for a cheaper price. Me like. I've already picked ot a couple that I'll be going for, and like I told my roomie; bring coffee, cause we'll be there early! Can't wait! I only hope I'm not working....

Which dress are you most excited about?

As I live and breathe, you have killed me..

2010-11-01T10:11:00.000-07:00

I just realized that I haven't shown you my wall! When I moved in after the summer, I understood that the walls looked horrible, so I had to do something to cover it up. So, I used the walls to show some of my clothes. It's easier than to paint it. I have to say, the pictures doesn't really do it justice. It looks better in reality.

What do you guys think?

Peace

Baby, it's cold outside

2010-10-30T01:09:00.000-07:00

Lazy blogger, you say? Well, this is the reason. It's been cold. So I've just packed myself in tons of clothes. But the temperatures are a bit milder now, so I'm gonna try to get better at the outfit posting.

Peace

Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share..

2010-10-21T13:03:00.000-07:00

I think everybody knows by now that I am a huuuuge Sienna Miller fan. She is definitely my favorite style icon. Ah, amazing.

Peace

It was just my own memory of how much I care..

2010-10-17T13:35:00.000-07:00

For the past two weeks I've been up early, going to bed early (and if I haven't gone to bed early, I still have had to get up early), and yesterday was no exception. I had to go to work. Saturday at work means tons of people, a lot of stress and basically running all over the place. So I figured I would meet a friend, hang out, then go home and relax. Before I knew it, I was walking home around 3.30 am. This basically ruined my day today, where I had planned a lot of studying and working out, but I've been laying on the couch all day. Epic fail. But boy, was it fun ;)

Sequin top; Gina Tricot.

It's a crazy feeling..

2010-10-13T09:32:00.000-07:00

At the library today. And the weather today hasn't exactly been picture perfect, oh no, we're talking rain. Lots and lots of rain. And it's getting so cold. Soooo, I needed to dress warm.

Wearing; pants and faux fur vest; H&M, shoes; DinSko

Hearbeat, why does a love kiss stay in my memory..

2010-10-11T12:58:00.000-07:00

Ah, the mixture of sweet and rough. I loooove my leather short, and paired it with a flower shirt for work today. When I was home this weekend, I also brought my leather pants, and my leather dress with me back. Can't wait to wear it.

Peace

Shorts and shirt: H&M

Comment, and make my day :)

This song is not for you lovers..

2010-10-07T13:43:00.000-07:00

Remember my post about some of the items that H&M would get for the next for weeks? Well, this jacket is now in stores. I love it, and it has a great fit as well. So run to your nearest H&M and buy it before it gets sold out ;) (NB! I work in Trondheim, and I know we have it there. But we're one of the biggest stores in Norway, so it's supposed to be in other large cities as well)

Anyhow, I've been a terrible blogger lately. I've actually been planning several outfit posts, especially after work, but when I get home I'm so tired, that I just change to my fleece robe, and stay on the couch. Not very chic (as Rachel Zoe would put it). So after this weekend (going home, not bringing the computer), I'll get better - promise.

And guys, start to comment! Maybe that's why I've been so bad at blogging; you guys don't tell me what you think.

Casual...

2010-09-22T14:38:00.000-07:00

This picture was taken when I wasn't prepared, but oh well.. Had a casual day yesterday; cafees, shopping and yoga. I love the boots I am wearing here, by the way.. They're new! Cost 500 kr (about 90 dollars or something), and are perfect for fall. The sweater is so comfy, and has details on the shoulders (which of course I did not take any pictures of).

Jacket, sweather, jeans & bag; H&M (wow, this is what happens when you work in a shop), boots; DinSko

Marchesa crush

2010-09-19T15:55:00.001-07:00

I have the hughest crush on this Marchesa dress. It is all feathers.. So gorgeous! It's not really a wedding dress, but if I ever get married - it will be in this dress!

Above the trees I saw a big black cloud of thunder..

2010-09-13T13:49:00.000-07:00

I bought a new leather shorts a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I am a pretty rock n' roll, or hippie, type of girl, so I usually style it that way. But I love the way Rachel Bilson look in this outfit! She is gorgeous! Which definitely shows that a leather shorts does not have to be anywhere near "slutty".

What do you guys think about it?

Peace

More H&M!

2010-09-10T16:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry folks - I feel like I'm bombing you with tons of H&M stuff. But this is so good; apparently there is a limited edition of dresses coming out during this fall. It is supposed to be pretty rock n' roll, with some girly twists. The reason why I am saying 'apparently' is that I haven't had any information about this at work yet. So I don't really know when the collection is coming... But when I do find out, I'll let you know!

I went to a 90's party tonight, and wore some grunge/rock n' roll outfit. I was probably the only one there who hadn't really dressed up that much, and didn't feel that uncomfortable. I'll try to get some pictures!

Peace

California Dreamin'

2010-09-08T14:38:00.001-07:00

Suddenly I am missing California.. That happens every once in a while. I think I wanna leave again, somewhere, somehow.. I get tired of things pretty easily, and this seems like a good time to plan a trip. Who knows, maybe I'll be gona for a little while.

Peace

Lanvin loves H&M!

2010-09-04T10:16:00.000-07:00

I haven't read all the popular fashion blogs yet, so I am sure that this is old news for many people, but nevertheless; this year's collaboration is going to be between H&M and Lanvin! This should be gooooood! I heard the news a few day's ago, and it was confirmed at work a couple of day's ago. So, I'm keeping my finger's crossed that I won't be working that day, so that I can shop instead!

Peace

Here's to the future, and the dreams of youth..

2010-08-30T11:46:00.000-07:00

Thank god, I FINALLY managed to upload these pictures. I have been trying since my last post. I love this boho/hippie-tunic/dress-thingy. It's from H&M and "Fashion Against Aids". The pattern is amazing, and the fabric is almost like silk. Plus, it's long enough to wear as a dress. Of course (as usual) I didn't realize that my messy room would show in the background, but just ignore it.

Hope ya'll are having a wonderful day - and spend all your time smiling!

Peace

New tattoo!

2010-08-26T14:13:00.000-07:00

I've got a new tattoo! And I love it. I had to get something that I could built on later. I don't really know if I want a sleeve, but I do want more than only this on my arm.

How do you guys feel about tattoos?

Peace

2010-08-22T04:36:00.001-07:00

Follow my blog with bloglovin

And we're caught in a crossfire of heaven and hell..

2010-08-22T04:25:00.000-07:00

First of all, I am sorry for the lack of blogging, but I have been laying sick for the past week. It probably didn't get any better when I tried to work while I was sick. But anyhow, I am alive and well, and blogging will gett better.
Of course, since I've been sick I've been terrible at the work out front, and I am craving a work out, so my sunday will be at the gym, then home to relax with a few movies and some tea. Since I have the hughest girl crush on Sienna Miller, and slightly Kiera Knigthley, it's quite possible I will have to watch Factory Girl or something.

Oh, and I finally got Bloglovin'. Better late than never, so follow me!

Peace out

I think I'd like to go back home, and take it easy..

2010-08-13T01:31:00.000-07:00

I forgot to post these photos a few days ago.. I bought this shirt at work, and it's cheap! Cheap & looks good - that's one good combination.
I am finally back home where I'm studying. I have about one more week before school starts again. I'm excited, though. I'm hoping for a good year, after all it's my last year up here before i move to Oslo.

Wishing you all peace and happiness!

Go Green!

2010-07-30T13:17:00.001-07:00

I have been a One Tree Hill fan since the show startet (I can't help it..), and my favorite character has always been Brooke, a.k.a Sophia Bush. I guess it's just because of the character she was playing. But now I have a newfound respect for her, as she is dedicating her life to the environment. I always admire when people find something to fight for, and something they really believe in.

What do you believe in? Anyone you admire for dedicating their life to "their" cause?

Peace

Blck velvet (in the summer heat)

2010-07-18T08:06:00.000-07:00

These two are a couple of my favorites this summer. I am all for lighter colors during the summer, but I still need my fair share of black. This purse was on sale at work for 50 kr (around 9-10 dollars), so there was no excuse for not buying it.
My pay check comes tomorrow, so I can finally do some more shopping. And buy food.
Is everyone having a good summer?

Peace & lots of love

Show a little soul..

2010-07-11T11:43:00.000-07:00

Too bad - I haven't been on a festival this summer. I love festivals, but since I am a student, summer has been the time where I work and try to earn some money for the next year. But maybe I'll be able to go next year! Any one of you been to a festival this year?

Peace

Sun, sale, shape..

2010-07-04T11:45:00.001-07:00

Relaxing after a long (day off) in the sun. Reading Shape Up, and wearing my very comfortable pants from H&M that only costs 75 kr (around 11 dollars)! For those who don't know; I work at H&M, and I guess we are around 15 people or something that works there - I think at least half of the staff bought these pants. They look better on than it seems on this picture.

Blue Moon

Ashley Green is so beautiful! I think she is one of mye new favorite actor/fashion inspiration. This dress is amazing - she wore it at the Twilight Eclipse premiere in L.A yesterday. Which also reminds me; I can't wait for the movie to come!! The Eclipse book was my favorite book, and I think I cried for the last 100 pages. So I hope this movie lives up to my expectations.
The clock is now 16.14 pm, I've been awake for a little over an hour, cause I was out yesterday. Luckily, after a shower and some food, I am not hungover. So I will get out in the great weather for a while. Have a great day everyone!

Sun, sun, sun - here it comes

2010-06-20T10:48:00.000-07:00

I am loving the boots MK is wearing. I want a pair! If anyone knows where to find something similar, let me know.
I am so sorry for not blogging. I am working every day, which should mean that I would have plenty of outfit pictures, but no. Somwhow I tend to forget, and then I go to the gym or something, and I doubt anyone wants pictures of that. I promise I'll get better this time around.

Peace

Working 9 to 5..

2010-06-09T12:29:00.000-07:00

Went shopping today - love this new bracelet that I bought. I'm a leather-kind of gal, so I just had to buy it. Wasn't too expensive either. Bracelet from Pieces, 60 NOK.

Wore some of my favorite things today; flowers and a skull ring. Even though it can get a bit exhausting working at a clothing shop every day (for the record; I'm not really complaining, I know there's plenty of people with more stressful jobs than me. Nevertheless, my feet hurts...) the upper side to the work is that you get a discount, a first-hand look at the new clothes that come in, and I feel like I have to dress a bit better than what I do when I am only studying, which makes me feel a bit better.

Peace

In New York - The City

I think this dress is adorable. I always love what Whitney Port is wearing, even though it is not always my type of style. This was taken from the MTV Movie Awards yesterday. I can't help it, but the Hills has for a long time been one of my vices, and later the City became the same thing. But I will not be ashamed! ..not so much, anyhow. Is there anyone else like me out there? Anyhow, what I really like about the City (as an opposite to the Hills after Lauren Conrad quit) is that there is so much fashion involved in each episode. Which makes it more than just another reality show.
What do you guys think?

Summer time

2010-06-02T13:10:00.000-07:00

Since I went to work early this morning, it was a bit cold, so I decided to wear my harem pants. I love the fabric, and they are super cheap at H&M; 99 kr (about 15 dollars). I am almost considering buying them in all the colors.
See the suitcase behing me? Welcome to my vacations; I literally live in a suitcase. Since I go home for the summer, I pack my bags, and somehow I never have the time to unpack. I unpacked one suitcase, but the other one remains packed.

Peace

Wearing; Harem pants, H&M; top, H&M; bracelets, all kinds of places.

Exams are finally over, and I am back! I've been packing all my things, cause I'm moving out of my apartment. Going home for the summer; going to work and hang out with friends. I think I will spend this summer trying to just enjoy myself and be happy. In which I believe everyone should be doing this summer.
Anyway, this picture inspires me. She is really beautiful, and I love the bohemian style she's rocking. Amazing.

Peace - and be happy.

I'm so sorry, guys! But I have exams all over the place here, and am stressing out.. But I'll be back stronger than ever after my exams - promise!

Peace

Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together..

Yes, I'm kinda late with the whole mint/new jade fingernail-trend. But I usually feel like wearing color around springtime. However, I have been wearing new jade for a long time, not on my fingernails, but in a jewel; see, it's my birthstone. Anyhow, I am so sorry for the lack of pictures, posts etc. I am just in a finals-period at school, so I really don't have that much inspiration.

Peace

Nailpolish; Isadora, "Vintage Mint", Jewels; from everywhere.

2010-05-08T11:01:00.000-07:00

Haven't used this scar in forever, but I love it! And I am kinda glad it's not really in style anymore.. Now people wear it, usually, for the rock n' roll style.
On a different note; I am so tired! School everyday now, there's nothing called weekend in this house.

Peace

Here comes the flood again..

2010-05-07T14:21:00.000-07:00

So, here's what happened; I was feeling in the mood for spring, so I decided to paint my nails blue. I figured spring was on it's way, and it was all good. A few minutes later, this happens:
Oh yes. Snow. It's been spring and sunny for the past couple of days, and I hope it will stay that way. This was like 4 days ago, or something. So sad.

Peace

She believed in God, and believed in me..

2010-05-02T10:51:00.000-07:00

I am LOVING this jumpsuit. Now this would be perfect for the wedding I'm goint to this summer. I know it's been a lot of Nicole Richie on this blog lately, but she is so stunning that I cannot not write about her. Amazing. I really want to buy some pieces from her collection.

I've had a pretty slow weekend, which my body and mind probably don't mind. I am broke, so I don't have the money to go out, but I'm really using school as a excuse. Anyway, I'll be doing some yoga and meditation tonight so I'll be ready for another busy week.

Peace guys.

The highest courage is to dare to appear to be what one is..

I am a very strong believer in individuality, and always do what you want. Honestly, I don't believe that many things are shocking anymore, especially not as in Warhol's days, but one should not be individual for the shocking value. Just follow your dreams, beliefs, and always be happy.

Peace

Friday night..

2010-04-23T12:08:00.000-07:00

Yup, pretty boring, but after a night out yesterday I will be spending my friday night with colored hair, tea and Andy Warhol. And, after a day of sun, dancing and yoga I think I will appreciate a slow night.

All you need is love

Peace

How Soon Is Now..

2010-04-19T12:47:00.000-07:00

I love rings! I just fell in love with this picture.. I am finally (almost) in the last stages of my paper. So I promise not to write any more about it.. I think..
I am in this weird stage right now, where I am longing for summer and freedom, and all I get is a bit of snow and the boring walls inside the library. I am praying for some luck, and hope that the summer and freedom will come soon enough.

Peace & Love

I'll be there by tomorrow..

2010-04-13T12:44:00.000-07:00

I N-E-E-D this top! Seriously..

She's a femme fatale..

2010-04-09T13:42:00.000-07:00

Memory-frame from my time in Cali, and a picture from NY.
Shoes for summer (ignore the socks)
Love wearing the sunglasses - after all that means sun!

A few of my favorite things for the moment. I am longing for summer! Right now I am just thrilled that the snow is gone..

Peace

2010-04-07T13:11:00.000-07:00

I love getting inspiration. And I hope I will get even more inspiration when I get home tomorrow.

Peace

I believe in nothing, but the truth and who we are..

2010-04-06T06:15:00.000-07:00

I adore this dress, and the girl, of course.. I think Nicole Richie is one of my favorite style icons. She has her own style, and she sticks to it, which I think is pretty great, especially considering that she lives in Hollywood, and she keeps her style even though it might not be in. I am really happy that she got her life together, and became a good role model for women.

I know there's been a lack of outfit posts, but that is due to the lack of batteries in my camera, I'll change the batteries when I get back home.

Peace

And I'm gonna tell her that life on earth can be sweet..

2010-03-31T12:19:00.001-07:00

It's Easter time, I am at home (and only want to go away) and is just pretty tired. I hate not doing anything, it's wearing me out - seriously. And I need to get away from home, it's a reason for why I moved out in the first place.

Anyhow, we all know the pressure about being thin and perfect, which I am sure that every girl struggles with. There's always something we're not content with, and I am getting pretty tired of these thoughts. Which is why I refuse to get on the scale anytime soon, I will do the work-outs I like, and eat healthy, but not obsess. So, as we speak (or write) I am having a glass of red wine, and refuse to feel guilty.

Peace

Let The Sun Shine In..

2010-03-29T09:10:00.000-07:00

Back from New York, unfortunately.. I LOVE NY, it's such an amazing city. It was me and my friend Else who traveled together. We saw the Hair-musical, met the actors, danced on stage. So much fun. And we went on top of the Rockefeller center, the Museum of Modern Art, Meatpacking District, ate at Pastis. It's kinda sad to be back home..

Peace

New York, New York..

2010-03-21T14:43:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow I will (hopefully) be on a plane headed for New York. That is if there will be no delays, strikes, or volcano outburst. I am hoping for the best. As mentioned, blogging might be kinda slow, but I'll post plenty of pictures when I come back.

Have a great week, everyone! Peace

But if you gotta go, safe travels..

2010-03-19T15:42:00.000-07:00

Oh.. my.. god.. I mean, I know she is beautiful and all, but here she's just stunning. I love that dress! And since I am desperately waiting for summer, I'm kinda thinking that this is the perfect summer dress. It is amazing.

On a different note, I am going to New York next week. I am not quite sure how much I will be able to blog, but we'll see.

Peace, and have a great weekend!

These are a few of my favorite things..

2010-03-16T14:01:00.001-07:00

It is no secret that I love Indian-inspired-Buddha-hippie-things.. And candles is also definitely one of my favorites, I have them lit almost constantly when I am home.. And my closet is finally full again after my trip to San Francisco. So as soon as this snow goes away, I will be one happy camper!

Peace

2010-03-12T13:03:00.000-08:00

Summer, anyone? I am very much looking forward to summer now. Dinner parties, long summer night, just a beautiful world, and a place to stand still and enjoy for a while before work and school starts over again, a reality hits us.

Peace

Songs in my pockets..

2010-03-10T11:02:00.000-08:00

The day that I insisted on wearing my leather jacket (the only day, by the way), my Dad insisted on sitting on the deck on the boat over to Alcatraz. That resultet in a small cover-up with my Dad's sweater. Not that it helped much.. But still, the sun was up and I wore my jacket. Now I am waiting for spring so that I can wear it again.

I've finally started coming into my yoga routine again, so since I am in such a zen-mood these days I'll give you guys an quote about dreams, simply because dreams are one of the most important things in life.

"Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you." - Marsha Norman

Pretty please..

2010-03-08T10:59:00.000-08:00

The Oscar's is over, and I am sure that most of us has seen all the dresses, and wanted most of them. Now, I do like beautiful gowns and everything, but the dress that actually was my favorite, was this one. I love how it's not really a gown, yet just as pretty. I know that I said this about Balmain for a while ago, but it counts for this dress as well; I will marry the person who buys this for me. Thanks.

Peace

That somebody oughta be you..

2010-03-07T03:35:00.000-08:00

Went out with my best friend Julie last night. We went to this place where they play rock music, no dance floor, no wardrobe, barely any tables, but because of the music (and the company, obviously) we always seem to have a super good time there. It might also have something to do with the fact that we sing a lot.. Loud..
I bought this jacket thing at Wasteland for about 16 dollars. Gosh, I love that place. I was suppose to get a better picture of it, but I'll get it for you later.
Oh, and I am very much into the whole lipstick-thing, so I wore a dark purple one last night.

Peace

There's a new generation with a new explanation..

2010-03-05T13:00:00.000-08:00

I love how there's just a heart in the middle of Union Square in downtown San Francisco, just randomly. Why not; the city of love, right?
And those houses in Haight Ashbury, I love them!! I would love to live in one of those. Maybe, if I ever get a house, I should just paint it in some crazy color. Yup, I think I just might do that.

Peace

Wasteland

2010-03-02T14:00:00.000-08:00

Wasteland might be my favorite store in the whole world! It is so amazing.. You find pieces from every era, and suddenly you just stumble over some Betty Johnson, Philip Lim, and so many other brands mixed with all the "regular" clothes. This one in San Francisco was the original Wasteland, but now it is also located in other cities, like Los Angeles. I bought a 80's jacket in black and gold that I will show you guys later.

Peace

P.S. I'm back from my vacation in San Francisco, and will be a way better blogger from now on.

Does it take your breath away, and you feel yourself suffocating..

2010-02-26T22:47:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the lack of updates, people, but as you know I am in San Francisco, and I didn't bring my computer. Anywho, here I am, in Berkeley, remembering all the good times. I'll be on my way home tomorrow - looking forward to that as well.

Wearing; fake fur, H&M; Bag, Marc Jacobs..

It's been a long, cold, lonely winter..

2010-02-17T09:27:00.001-08:00

It's my last night at home before I go home to my parent's house, and then San Francisco. And suddenly I have about a hundred things to do; clean the apartment, read a few chapters about enviromental politics, send an email about my bachelor assignment, pack.. And so on. But first I am watching some TV and drinking some chai tea. I've come to the conclusion that when I will buy my own apartment in a couple of years, I will not have a TV. It's a waste of time, especially when I download everything I want to watch. And maybe it'll do a thing or two for the enviroment as well.

Wearing; tank top, Gina Tricot; Denim shirt, Bik Bok; earrings, Gina Tricot; Tea cup, Indiska.

I am the sun and the air..

2010-02-16T11:42:00.000-08:00

I have a new hair cut (the bang is back!), and I am wearing the cutest top from H&M with a bow on it. I love it!
It is 4 days left, and then I am on a jet plane headed for San Francisco! I am really looking forward to that as well.. I believe that it is important with closure in your life, and I am glad that I can now go back (even though it is on vacation) and see what I really feel about Berkeley, and if I can consider going back.. Perhaps next year.

Peace

This is a battle song..

2010-02-11T11:45:00.000-08:00

Heroin chic, for sure. The look, that is. Still in love with pink lipstick, and high waisted jeans. And every little hippie thing there is, hence the scarf.. And the ring, for that matter.
On another note, I have a headache almost every day these days, so I think a little aroma therapy will handle it, hopefully. I think I also might have some sort of a winter-depression, so I barely do anything these days. But I am going out tomorrow and on Saturday, so maybe that will cure it. And in a week I will be going back to San Francisco on vacation; can't wait!

Peace

Non stop rock n' roll..

2010-02-08T11:38:00.000-08:00

I adore this dress! My godness, it's pure perfection. I think I found the picture at the Sartorialist, but I can't really remember. Nevertheless, I would probably do anything to get this dress in my wardrobe! Ah, stunning..

Harmony and understanding...

2010-02-05T07:17:00.000-08:00

I'm thinking about having bangs again. I've seen tons of pictures with girls who have bangs, and I am considering it. The only problem is that I have a tendency to regret every time that I do something like that. But nevertheless. I think I'm gonna give it a go once again.
On a different note, I am looking at a busy weekend. Today I am going to a party a friend of mine is throwing, and tomorrow is my birthday, where I'll be having the girls over for dinner, then going out with some other friends that I am celebrating with. I am looking forward to it. Nevertheless, I am getting pretty comfortable, maybe too comfortable, on the couch, so I suppose I have to get up, and not sit back down.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Peace

More than a feeling..

2010-02-01T11:17:00.000-08:00

My birthday is on Saturday, and I would not mind wearing Katy Perry's dress. It's so beautiful. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind getting my boyfriend to wear what Katy's boyfriend are wearing, but I doubt that he would go along with that.. Oh well..

Sorry for the lack of updates, but my camera has no battery, so I am waiting for the charger.

Peace

Wedding bells are ringing..

2010-01-26T12:24:00.000-08:00

...no, not for me, but my aunt and uncle are getting married this summer, which means that I have to find a perfect dress to wear. I suppose I have to start looking now considering that it is a summer wedding. I would not mind wearing the dress that Sienna Miller is wearing, so if anyone would like to buy that for me, I would be very grateful.

Peace

Guilty of treason..

2010-01-22T10:02:00.000-08:00

Going out for a few beers tonight. No secret that I love accessories, so I usually wear plenty of them.

Wearing; Top, Gina Tricot; Sequined harem pants, H&M; Ring, H&M; Bracelets, Primark; Studded bracelet, Glitter; Watch, Mango.

The answers that we've learned here have only just begun..

2010-01-21T05:53:00.000-08:00

Super simple outfit today (I am so tired!), but I do love large singlets and tons of jewlery. Today I made it simple and chose a necklace with huge pearls. Sorry about the last picture, it's kinda crappy, but it was the only way to show the entire outfit.

Wearing; Stone washed jeans, Primark; Singlet, Gina Tricot; Cardigan, H&M; Necklace, H&M.

Life on Mars?

2010-01-16T09:45:00.000-08:00

I'm glittering! I love sequins, so I figured I would wear this tonight, cause I'm going out with the girls. First outfit post in a while..

Wearing; dress from BikBok.

Hold fast, hold on, remain the same..

2010-01-15T15:29:00.000-08:00

I've moved in to my new apartment, and I kinda love it :) The picture captures, in essense, everything I love; Beatles, 60's, Buddhaes, jewlery, candles.. Of course, this is not even half of my jewlery. I thought I would pack smart when I was going home from San Francisco, unknowing that I would not return (except for a holiday later this winter). So I still have tons of clothes and jewlery (etc.) in Berkeley, which I will bring back later. Then this place will be packed. But nice.

Peace

Her skin is like velvet..

2010-01-10T04:39:00.000-08:00

Wore this gorgeous velvet dress out on the town yesterday. I completely forgot to bring my camera, so an outfit picture was therefore not taken. Nevertheless, I suppose you get the picture.
Had a superfun night out on the town with the girls last night. Haven't done that in forever, so I definitely needed that. Hope you guys had a fun weekend too.

Peace

2010-01-08T12:44:00.000-08:00

So, I am in the mood for Hair - the musical, that is. And I think that this is my favorite song in the musical (besides Aquarius, obviously). I know I've probably written about Hair a thousand times, but I just love it!

Peace

Baby, it's cold outside..

2010-01-04T12:03:00.000-08:00

I hope that I look as chic as Rachel Bilson when I go out in -12 degrees celcius, but I have my doubts.. These days I seem to hide under a jacket, which is probably twice as big as this one, running to wherever I am about to go. I was thinking about wearing a faux fur when I go to work tomorrow, but it is almost even too cold for that. But, to be honest, I like this wearher. OK, so it might be just a bit too cold, but we have snow, which is really pretty. Maybe I'm just lucky since I skipped a few months of cold weather this fall.

Peace

And I'm ready for anything..

2009-12-31T03:37:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year! Or soon to be, that is. I will be spending it with my friends and some champagne.
Hope everyone has a great night, and a great new year!

Home, we're coming home again..

2009-12-29T03:01:00.000-08:00

I suppose there's no doubt about who my style icon is. I love this outfit that she wore for a screening of Factory Girl when the movie was released. I've been dying for that sweater ever since..
Anywho, sorry about the abscence, but it is Christmas after all, and I seem to be all over the place these days. Also, I've decided to go back to Trondheim after Christmas instead of going back to Berkeley. I love California, but Trondheim is home.

Hope everyone's Christmas has been amazing!

2000 miles

2009-12-26T02:34:00.000-08:00

Re-discovered this Christmas song the other day, and I love it. Even though Christmas Eve is over, I believe that Christmas lasts at least until New Years!

"I can hear people singing, it must be Christmas time"

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

2009-12-25T10:12:00.000-08:00

I went from this (Union Square in San Francisco) to back home where things aren't this big, but nevertheless just as beautiful and with snow. I am happy right now.
