GRACELAND

On it's way and soon in my mail is non other than a book about Grace Coddington. l I have been quite taken by her, or rather her creativity and way to express herself, so a little window into her world and way of thinking was highly coveted at our address.

can't wait to lay my hands on it!

THE VICTIM OF MURPHY'S LAW

Now, have you ever experienced that you just buy something expensive and most wanted(in my case a pair of Givenchy heels) , and you think that it can't be better than THIS, just so that in couple of days something EVEN better pops up?? !

I call that Murphy's low of shopping  and although it's not happening often, this royal pain in the b**t occurs from time to time.

This time the revelation came in the looks of the coolest heels from Proenza Schouler on sale on Bergdorf Goodman and in my size!

LUCKILY(I don't know about that now) they still do not offer international shipping so I have avoided the 'to buy' or 'not to buy' dilemma....

My bank and my fiance are quite satisfied with this.

I, on the other side, am not.

BLACK FRIDAY!

Black Friday and naturally black outfit. Now I have arrived home in Kristiansand and will use it for hard needed rest. So, not so much on the agenda than a good rest and loads of home made pastries.

I am still taken by the Christmas spirit I experienced in Oslo, so I will be making wishlists during the weekend.

How will you spend yours??

I am weraing 3.1. Philip Lim Interasia sweater, Diesel jeans, Manual purse, Isabel Marant heels

P.S Happy Thanksgiving to all who may celebrate it!

LAST NIGHT- BIKBOKxCOSTUME

Here is what I wore yesterday for the launch and preshopping of the BikBokxCOSTUME collection.

IT was a blast!Great ppl, good music and the collection is going to be a huge success when it's fully launched, and it's spot on for the Holiday season coming  Delicate garments in quality materials and great tailoring is going through the whole collection, but everything is very versatile and wearable.

Really spot on!

P.S Thank you all the lovely ppl for great time yesterday!And thanks to Sara Strand for snapping me at the event!

P.S.P.S Today has been the pressday with ThisisPR and BikBok (I Instagramed all the fav's, but I will also post some of them here) and managed to visit Patrickson Showroom with all the great Scandinavian brands as by Malene Birger, Dagmar, 2nd Day, Fillipa K.

So stay tuned more photos coming!

I am wearing Alexander Wang Pre Fall 2012 dress and Acne boots.

IT'S THE FLOOR THAT IS BIASED

It was either having me look like I am snowboarding or having the concrete bridge I am standing on be as biased as it is. So I went for normal stand and crooked floor. Now, when that has been cleared up I want to tell you a little bit about these boots.

So ,so pleasing on the eye but with the heel and incline that even I can't walk properly in them.However from now and than I like to take them out put them on and get myself reminded why it was sooo long since the last time I used them. Anyways from time to time suffering for love of shoes is worth it.

P.S I am on my way to Oslo tonight (right of from work) for the COSTUME+BikBok launch party and later on pressday! My cam lens is broken so no proper pics from the event, but everything will be Instagramed, including my outfit, so don't forget to follow.:)
