FLATS FOR THE PARTY-TESTED

So, when Net-a-porter said: 'Style rethink:flats for the evening'- I was completely confused. Hundreds of years the heels have been considered as a choice for the eveninhg and now suddenly we were supposed to re-think it? I mean I haven't worn flats to any party since I was probably 14 and Olsen twins were making teenage movies, while I still though that is completely ok to sport your ultra fresh sneakers (my choice always fell on Adidas) on yet another teenage party.
But here I am, 25- and trying pointy flats for the cocktails. And it worked, and my feet seemed more than thankful the day after.
The trick is finding the right flats - I found that the pointy,glitzy ones really do the trick, as they are elegant enough to pass as a part of the night-life attire´ and keep your cool, but still be comfy enough to dance the night away... I mean I am not saying goodbye to my heels forever, but doing something else from time to time seems like a reasonable thought.
What do you think?

TBT

I am using Thanksgiving to take a glance backwards and think about all the wonderful things that have happened over the last year and all the cool cats I have met.

THE GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING

 

Now, we have all been obsession with the pearl earring by Dior worn on one side, and I am madly in love with the idea of contrasts between the feminine pearl and a punk attitude.
This Sophie Bille Brahe piece has both combined , and I am so clicking this beauty home

THE BRAND TO KNOW: LITTLE LIFFNER

My newest brand obsession: Little Liffner handbags. I will admit that I almost never fall in lobe with the bags, but several pieces of theirs have been constantly on my mind lately.

Here a Power Pouch in Cognac as worn by Elin Kling, although my heart lies with the shearling beauty beneath

COLD

 So, I don't know about you, but these high-and-low temps have given me the cold, so much that yesterday I just lay passively on the sofa starring into nothing. And that was the day we were supposed to go and watch the 'The Hunger Games'...! But at the end I did force myself out of the warmth of the bed, and of to the movies, layering like crazy to the point where you could only see my eyes, and well, ankles. I am sorry for the open-mouth photo, but this is the only one that turned out descent, the rest was well, more of a candid sort. But back to the cozyness of the winter layering: the turtleneck(welcomed back with open arms on the fashion scene), the varsity jacket and  coat over the shoulder are just some of the essentials a gal needs to survive the winter.

I am wearing Vanessa Bruno coat, True Religion Varsity jacket, Fillipa K knit, Rag&Bone jeans, TheManual&Co, Thakoon velvet boots.

CHUNKY CHIPS

One of my favourite sweaters of the season: the chunkiest, softest, coolest, oversized, warmest thing from by Malene Birger (I love it so much that I am going to but a pink one too-although in a smaller size).

I love how the silhouette turned out with a sleek midi skirt and sculpted heels, so, when I had a decent chance to sport this onduty/offduty combo I did.

Happy Weekend lovely!

THIS GIRL, THIS BAG!

 

 

So, we all know Marie from Blame it on Fashion (and if you don't, well...) and when she told me that she is going to do a shoot with Louis Vuitton I nearly passed out. So did my fiancé when I told him that I want that Sofia Copppola bag for Christmas, as it looks so scrumptious in Marie's arms.  I especially love the red color and to be honest duffelbags aren't my thing, but I have hade both the ones from Saint Laurent and SC on my mind lately as I really feel  I need a bigger bag for everything that I have been carrying around lately.

SPEAKING OF

Speaking of loafers, here is a little detail from an outfit I wore some days ago, including  a red high heeled version of my obsession and ripped jeans.

MASCULINE LOAFERS

I have really been obsessing about black patent loafers lately. Like, really chunky and masculine worn with vintage blue jeans and a peacoat.

ON MY MIND: BALMAIN RST

In courtesy of Style.com

If there is one thing I can't seem to throw of my mind it is Balmain RST 2013. Now I am very aware off that those jackets are more reminiscent of vintage Chanel pieces and that dungarees are supposed to be for the kids in the kindergarten (I, in particular had a pair with a place for colorpencils in the front, which I was immensely proud of)but wait a second and imagine those two together with a pair of peeptoe ankle boots, some gold accents and a crisp white shirt.

Perfection.

MONDAYS OFF

Ok, really, really bad weather over here on Bergen, kind of difficult to photograph and post for that matter. So, I have mondays off, sort of, as I am usually on meetings or planning collaborations or styling-which requires a special type of workwear- business casual. You can look at it as a casual Friday, just on Monday. So what better arena than to sport the beautiful Stella knit (I warn you- you will be seeing a lot of it in the feature) and a new pair of Rossi' boots (yupp got those too!)

I am wearing Stella McCartney plaid sweater and here , Rag&Bone jeans, Acne coat, Gianvito Rossi boots, Maria Black and Eddie Borgo jewlery, Saint Laurent Betty bag.

IN NEED OF

...Leopard sunnglasses, paired with a navy blue sweater. Or actually anything leopard right now.

COZY DRESSING

With the storm raging in Bergen and streets turning into rivers, it is just cozy to be wrapped in warm cashmere coats and soft knits,with your head hidden in the high collars. Now this might feel a little contradictory to me wearing sunnies, but my eyes have been a little sensitive to light lately, thus the shades.
Luckily earlier this week the weather hasn't been all that obnoxious so we had a little time to catch some of what-I-wores before the storm really took off...

I am wearing  bespoke by Malene Birger pink Bugsy coat and leather pants, Theory  Astral knit, Proenza Schouler heels,TheManual&Co bag and RayBans.

STELLA MCCARTNEY IN ELLE SWEDEN

Completely obsessing over this styling in the latest issue of Elle Sweden. The sports-vibe is just...right!And the colours seem somehow to put me in the Holiday spirit.

I have even be meaning to try to learn to skate, although I was talked out of by my insurance agent...

STRAPPY BOOTS

On my mind lately: strappy boots as an alternative to your ankle boots. Although I still can't decide which version I like better- the edgier ones by Gianvito Rossi or the more elegant ones by Valentino. Oh, the dilemma....

ISABEL MARANT POUR H&M

When I was  in Oslo a week or so ago,I popped by H&M Showroom and had  a chance to take a closer look  at the fantastic Isabel Marant pour H&M collection, also to select some of my favourite pieces.That turned out to be quite a difficult as the collection is one of the most approachable and wearable yet and I can easily see all of the pieces in my wardrobe, which also goes for the menswear!

But the ones that will end up in my closet are the leather pants with laces (I mean hey, who can resist them??) , the masculine coat,tried and tested in Norwegian cold and those beautiful lacey blouses.

So, what will you be coveting tomorrow when the collection hits the stores??

Thank you H&M Norway for having me!

WHOOPS!

Soooo, this happened...And it has just arrived! I can promise you that there is one happy gal on this side of the computer. Can't wait to sport it!

A GOOD CAUSE

Although Movember is a guy's month there is never a bad time to support any good cause.
I love the fact that Tommy Hilfiger created the most beautiful tote(you have all seen photos with Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell shot by Patrick Demarchiler in just crisp white shirts and carrying the bag,right??) where parts of the income go to support reasearch and fight breast cancer on the international scale.
Now if that isn't a pretty good reason to buy a new bag, I honestly don't know what is.Me and mine have been inseparable lately.

I am wearing Acne coat and shirt (mens), FWSS beanie, the ultra cool  and ultra ripped jeans by Ralph Lauren Denim&Supply,Tommy Hilfiger Breast Health International bag 2013,  Saint Laurent heels, Eddie Borgo bracelet and Georg Jensen watch.

SOMETHING OLD,SOMETHING NEW

Well, my late posting is due to Mac-related problems, so..., soory for that :/
But let's talk this strange weather thingy going on here, one minutte it is really, really warmn and the next one, well, I am wearing tigh-highs...?
Not that I am complaining though, as these beauties from Stella Mccartney anno 2009 have been waiting to be sported again when the season is right. Just had to brush the dust off the dust bag and find my old treasure!Not to mention that they have something veru Célinesque anno 2013 over them.
They worked perfectly with this 3.1Phillipm Lim neoprene beauty that I just recently got on My-wardrobe. I have been debating for quite some time weather to go for the pink or the armygreen one, and although I looooved the pink, the olive one seemed like a more reasonable choice.
And I like to think that I am a reasonable persone, although my recent closet cleaning and realizing that I have 20something pairs of sandals and 4 pairs of boots hints something veeery differently...
And lets face it, we all love neoprene in whichever color it comes by...

Hope you are all enjoying Sunday/funday!

I am wearing 3.1Phillip Lim neoprene skirt,vintage Aran-knit cardigan, Stella Mccartney tigh-high boots (more like pleather pantsish), Acne Studios Coat, Maria Black rings, TheManual&Co bag

LOUIS VUITTON SS14

While we are at it, here is also a little peake inside the LV venue for their ss14 show and a peek backstage.

Bravo Marc!

THE MENTION

SO, with the David Bowie and Arizona Muze  in what I think is a perfect weekend-party-mood-inspo (complietly into masked balls, lace and drama) and with ingenious Mr, Ghesquiere confirmed as a helm of the house it is only appropriate to give the house of Louis Vuitton a mentinon, and an applause in whichever order you may prefer.
Also, with the pictures of that beautiful pink slip styled in 1001 way by Carine Roitfel for the CR book LV has been on my mind constantly this week...

BEANIE WEATHER!

 Here we are again, winter monthes and cold are officially upon us which means it is time to dig out yur beanies ladies!Mine have been rather brightcolored lately, as this one fluorange that I haven't been taking of since I got it sometime ago.
Oh, yeah and I have been in Oslo for some VERY exciting meetings, actually 3 in 1 day, and I can't wait to tell what everything has been about, which will probably be in a couple of months or so...;)
In the meantime some weekend outfit inspo mixing leopard with fluorange and topping it with leather and rotwailer. Ka-boom!

Happy Weekend!

I am wearing Rosie Sugden beanie, Givenchy Rotwailer sweater (mens), by Malene Birger leather pants, Adidas Tech Super2.0 Leopard sneakers, Saint Laurent bag and Maria Black rings

PASTEL SHEARLING ARMCANDY

Fall's perfect accessorize comes in the form of pastel shearling beauties as seen on Preetma from Working Girl. Am I talking armcandy or what??!
Anyway I wouldn't mind this one from Proenza Schouler right now!

CAPS IT!

With what seems to be very mild autumn the need for layering and beenies has thankfully been postponed. However with all the wind we have had in Bergen (and the lack of good hairdays recently to be honest) caps is a good solution to keep everything in place. My choice for this autumny day fell on the velvety royal blue beauty from ACNE Studios paired with a masculione checked coat. One of the reasons why I love this particular outfit so much is beacuse of the unusual combination of the shiney velvet (and lets face it girls do love glittery things) and a very masculine cut coat. That-paired with the sleek leather pants and tassel heels gives the perfect on/off duty lookl, that you all know I am very fond of.

I am wearing Acne Velvet caps, Vanessa Bruno coat, byMalene Birger leather pants and Céline tassel heels.

Happy Sunday loves!
