NEW IN: HOPE GRAND SWEATER

Until I finnally decided to get hold of one of these coveted sweaters by HOPE, they were all sold out. Online and in stores.
It was quite a bummer I must admit.

So, I arrived in Kristiansand some time ago and yesterday me and Mom took a little strolling round around town. Firmly decided not to buy anything we went from shop to shop, just looking.
But, there it was, my higlky coveted sweater, only one left, in my size and in wanted color.

How could I say no??And who would??

Well, I didn't, and now I am broke but definitely satisfied with my purchase.

Have a great day Loves!

OF PANDA AND MEN

Photocourtsey of Vogue Italia and Net-a-porter

The sweet old panda has taken a trip from the zoo, to the cinemas (who doesn't remember Kung fu version??) to the new it print of the season. It's cute, it's amusing and it's ultimate -look-at-me  print, especially when worn ' h to t' as a suit (whole suit HAS made it's comeback this year, just look at Au jour le jour).Although not what you would typicly imagine me in, the cut of that shirt and pants is sharp  enough to balance this ultra-cute panda print and azure blue color.

Anyways, if I could in any way justify lace sandals when it has juts started snowing I would be the first in the line for the outrages but so obsessive heels by Jimmy Choo+Rob Pruitt  at Net-a-porter.

My ultimate must have and the panda in the lining just might justify my to-get or not-to-get obsession....

Isn't it depressive to be looking forward to spring when, the first snow has just arrived...?

HAPPY MONDAY

Thank God I have Monday's off.Before I start to pack for Kristiansand I have a morning  ritual of a man: breakfast, coffee and papers. I love a good fashion magazine that you can actually read, opposed to just starring at pictures (which is also nice, but we all need a change from time to time?) so ACNE PAPER and THE GENTLEWOMAN are definitely down this lane. 

Fabulouse interview with Fran Lebowitz in AP and I loved the spread about Leila McAlister (a serisouly good inside info on where to eat in London).

Have a happy Monday everyone!

SKYFALL

I was at the cinema lst night and on the agenda was none other than Daniel Craig and 'Skyfall'. 

I am a complete sucker for James Bond- especially since Craig joined the pack.

So here I paired thigh high split skirt with a college sweater and ankle boots. Kind of relaxed take on Saturday nights outfi, especially with freezing temperatures we have had lately.

A pop of bright yellow just perfectly balances all black combo.

Have a great Sunday, loves!

I am wearing  Givenchy sweater, leather skirt by  by Malene Birger, Acme boots and Marc by Marc Jacobs purse.

INTO THE FUTURE

So here is my today's.
As you can see neons and silver leather paired with structured coat is somewhat futuristic take on minimalism but it can be worn today, no need to wait for tomorrow. 

I dug out my last years coat from H&M Trend that I bough on sale and received so many compliments for it (that even I was embarrassed). Structured cocoon coat in really perfect wool fabric to hold desired shape has been one of my bargains last year. Quite satisfied with the fact that  cocoon is in this year as well.
I love the contrast of acid green and greay so this outfit was an obvious one for my part.

And I almost forgot! I also got a pair of new boots from ACNE with (touch of futurism and) structured heel, which is chunky so that I don't look like Bambi on ice (as it is snowing here) yet it's not a wedge.

So, so satisfied with them, I have to say.

 Heels and sweater from ACNE, skirt from Fillipa K, coat from H&M Trend, sunnies are Ray Ban and Purse is Marc by Marc Jacobs.

YESTERDAY'S

So here is what we (me and Sara) wore yesterday. I still havn't complitely recovered from the flu, so I was all about simple, cozy, warm and oversized yesterday.

Sara wore this amazing sweater that had such an insanely amazing fit to it! If I remember it right it was a slighlty cacoon shape with crewneck in this beautiful powdery blue.

Anyways, we met up for a coffee after the pressday and had a really great time. 

So hoping for a soon randez-vous back in Oslo again.

I am wearing Burberry Prorsum coat, 3.1 Phillip Lim Interasia sweater and Diesel jeans.
Sara is wearing Vila coat and vintage sweater.

SS13+ THIS IS PR

Today I took one day trip to Oslo for pressday at headquarters of THIS IS PR. Lovely location to have a press presentation at. So here are some snaps from it. First two of the talented Norwegian designer Christian Ledang and oh, yes that is latex A-line dress in bubblegum pink which is on my want to badly list, as is the blue latex skirt on the fourth picture.

Third is of shoes that are part of BikBok SS13 worn here by Sara Strand. The fourth picture is from the little styling contest where we were supposed to style an outfit, and tag it in Instagram. 

So here is mine: Christina Ledang skirt and overlay, BikBok shirt, DNA heels and Inwear clutch (doubled up). PS: Don't forget to follow me on Instagram ( ila030) as you can see more of my outfits and everyday life. 

The glasses underneath are filled with vitamins made of cucumber and lime. I think that the recepies are from the book ''Raw Food''- which I tend to get for myself.

Thank you fro the great time everyone!

Love,

Irina
