Like we all need yet another insanely priced pair of shoes to covet.
But they really are amazing right?

 

THINKING OF: WARMER CLIMATE

Loving this styling in the latest issue of STYLEBY. I can feel in my bones that I am in dire need of those Isabel Marant leather Birks.And who knows ,maybe I really do end up with a messy bob next time I am visiting the hairdresser's.

UNIFORM

A lot of simple things for my part lately, soft sweaters and skinny jeans. Not so strange actually, with winter finally reaching northern shores. Still spiking it up with colorful beanies or cool sunnies, like these leopard Céline.

I am wearing Stella McCartney sweater, Rag&Bone jeans and Georg Jensen watch 

ALL WRAPPED UP

I will admit that I have had a certain aviator jacket on my mind (read this: obsessing about it like crazy)but my nearly dried wallet was the one that made me so indecisive. On the other hand Burberry Prorsum showpiece is worth bleeding for.

And than  here it is and I will also admit that I don't regret buying it for a second - especially when a colder wave hit Bergen. SO, happy about it. I like to think that it is an investment that will stay in my wardrobe for many years to come. For now I am all bundled and wrapped up and definitely not freezing.

I am wearing Burberry prorsum shearling aviator, Isabel Marant sweater, Saint Laurent jeans and Gianvito Rossi boots.

I really don't even grasp how I have survived earlier without this thing. It was on my Christmas wishlist and dear Santa (who really looks like my folks) was listening. Really happy with it. ^^

ALL WHITE

Ok, that trip to Copenhagen during New Years weekend wasn't at all abad idea, I still can't believe that I snapped this Céline skirt at 40% off. Insanity.
The other reason is that I actually got the chance to sport it, as Bergen isn't always the arena for wearing all white. Or at least if you are nearly as clumsy as I am.
Anyway, I have been dying to show it to you, as I have been wearing a lot of jeans and sweaters lately, so a skirt was a nice refreshment, and a good way of ending the week.

I am wearing Céline sweater and skirt, Saint Laurent bag and Proenza Schouler heels,Rings are by Thomas Sabo.

FRIDAY NIGHT

Wouldn't mind this hot piece when going out tonight.At all actually.

Leather fringe skirt by Tamara Mellon 

PINK AND LEOPARD

The cold is finally kicking in ( I say finally because we have had nothing but rain for the past 2 months) and I am wrapping up in fun colors and soft wool. For some reason pairing pink and leopard (doesn't sound tacky at all, right?)seemed like a perfectly reasonable combination and with that I am kicking the weekend in. Big fun weekend ahead ;)

I am wearing by Malene Birger Bugsy coat, Marc Jacobs sweater, Zara Jeans and Adidas Originals sneaks.

THE SCULPTED JACKET

Wearing one of my favourite pieces that I snapped on incredible 50% off -sale...I have been obsessing over the Proenza Schouler jacket for months now I guess it was meant to be, because it seems I got the last one available. Very happy about that.

 Another thing I love is that you can dress it up and down as you will, with sneakers or with pencil skirt.

I went for one of my fav knits this season by Stine Goya- amazing color right? (that I got here) and skinny jeans for strolling around CPH and catching up with friends some weeks ago.

So, so happy with it.

I am wearing Proenza Schouler jacket, Stine Goya sweater (I got it in Vrimmel in Bergen), skinny jeans by Saint Laurent, Gianvito Rossi boots, LIttle Liffner purse and FWSS beanie.

ON MY MIND - THE AVIATOR

With a cold weather approaching I really wouldn't mind a cool shearling aviator to keep me warm and fuzzy.

BEAUTY COUNTER

I have been wanting to update my beauty shelf for a time now and by recommendation decide to try the norwegian brand Elixir Cosmeceuticals. Now, I know the name sounds slightly nerdy, but actually that's what their motto is - no hocus-pocus, just science.  And I have heard from people that have tried them that the girls behind the brand don't promise what they can't keep.

As you probably are I was so sceptical at first, I mean it really did sound to good to actually work that way.

But some months ago I decided to give it a shot as I have been breaking out like crazy and nothing would seem to calm it down(hello hormones??). Now I was warned that my breakout will become worse before it gets better (and they really weren't exaggerating ), as the products were supposed to clean your skin from the inside. 

I will admit that the first months were a struggle, my skin breaking out like I was 13 again,

but now (aprox 4 months after I started the treatment), everything is almost gone and I will admit that my tired,  stressed skin is glowing and is baby soft.
I still have a couple of zits here and there, but I feel they will also disappear very, very soon. That being said I wasn't only using acne-realted products, the AlphaBeta cleanser was supposed to clean and tighten the pores and remove dead cells (hello younger skin!) and Niactil cream reduces redness and fine lines.
I can actually vouch that those products deliver everything they promise, as long one can hold out the initial break out (and it can last for up to 2 months), but I can promise you it is completely worth it.
I will post no make up photo as soon as those last red dots have disappeared. ;)

For extra polishing I like to use  Le Weekend de Chanel just below the eye area and on my forehead and when the skin needs a little extra glow I use the Apricot scrub by Yves Rocher.

Cleanser: AlphaBeta Cleanser by Elixir
Tone: Acne pads by Elixir
Cream: Niactil 4% and Acticlear ( you can use different cream together :))
Polish: Le Weekend de Chanel

Scrub: Apricot Scrub by Yves Rocher

Btw the Elixir products can be also found here , but for those who don't live in Norway I really hope that they will expand soon.

COZY SLEEVES

Some days ago, running some errands  but still trying to keep a healthy dose of comfy cool. I love those sleeves (who needs gloves??) and in the true Céline manner rest of the garment is hold pretty low-key. On the other matter as a true child of the 90s grunge, acid jeans never go out of fashion, and these grey ones are amongst my favourites. A highly unorthodox choice mixing Celine with elements of grunge, but with a softer pallet in mind I think these two went perfectly together. 

Céline sweater and heels, Designers Remix jeans (here  and here) and my LIttle furry Liffner which I am inseparable with :)

COUCHING

Still going for post Holiday plenty- of- space for all the comfort food, but I have really been into tomboy chic lately. So, Ch wasn't that surprised when I stole his newly obtained Acne sweatshirt and never put it back in his wardrobe, and blue and Breton stripes have been a must pop-out detail in every outfit I have been wearing lately.
A good Saturday-to-Sunday combo for us that are still in the phase of 'couching',or just in general need for cozy-chic dressing.

NY RESOLUTION NR.1

NOT the biggest on that resolution thing but there are some things I def want to try out. Like for example strong eyebrows, I have been testing them lately, and although I still haven't found the perfect products (when it comes to color and keeping them in place) I am definitely keeping the bold look.

SO...

Sales....I may or not be broke, this time around, but at the end, I got my hands on this amaze Celine piece so you will not hear me complain.
Anyway, Copenhagen has been great and while I am still tired as hell, it has been equally fun. Thus longer lengths and more relaxed silhouettes the day after (with a hint of manreppeling in the whole mixture, but hey...) I love the fact that the skirt is  almost pure wool  which makes it perfect for these nor hot-or-cold- temps- thing happening in Scandiland lately.
But I am back blogging and very ready to kick the 2014 off.

Btw for those who were wondering how not-model- hight gals can pull of midi lengths my best suggestion is that the skirt stops at the smallest part of your legs and some good heels that are open at the ankles- the whole legg (and you with it) appears longer.

I am wearing Stella McCartney jacket and creepers, Styelin Candy sweater which is on sales HERE, Céline skirt, Little Liffner clutch, rings by Maria Black, Lara Bohnic and Thomas Sabo

POSTCARD FROM COPENHAGEN

Happy NEW YEAR dear readers! Fingers crossed that 2014 has something amazing in cards for us, and I hope you have had unforgettable night :)
I on my part am in Copenhagen on spa, and taking very much deserved vacation (and trying to catch up on that sleeping thing, I have heard it's good for your health). But don't worry I have also been shooting and working (and my, I have some cool outfits for you, I even managed to snap a certain beige Céline skirt on sales here:)) And tomorrow I have a little meet up with by Malene Birger.

Good night, take care!

SUNDAY TUNE

Pre New-years Eve ( and per Copenhagen trip ) Sunday at the local rock bar. Very proud that my new Filippa K jacket (thank you so much for the fantastic Christmas gift!) was acknowledged by the coolest most hardcore rockers in town. I love the fact that is belted, it really gives that old school, french-chic note to the piece. and the charcoal color really makes it unique making this my staple piece for spring (and obviously warm winter ;). Paired with the beige thick waffle knit and my fav blue jeans makes this a perfect Sunday outfit for the lazy Holiday days.

Filippa K belted leather jacket, Marc Jacobs sweater, Zara jeans, Saint Laurent bag, Gianvitto Rossi boots

NEW SEASON - NEW LENGTHS

I hope you have had (and still have)lovely Holidays dear readers. I on my part am not doing much, besides sitting on the couch and eating.Which I shamefully admit is a reason for my all strech-and-very-loose outfit (luckily my brothert gifted me with a 'Green Kitchen' book so I don't think I will have to go a size up after the holidays :)).Also some other pretty amazing gifts have been waiting under my tree this time, that I can't even begin to explain how lucky I feel. 

One of the reasons why I love this outfit so much (besides the fact that I can eat what and how much I want- read until my belly is on the verge of bursts) - is the whole silhouette of it, I have completely fallen in love with the new shape that has been happening on the catwalks lately - most of my short skirts have been substituted with the longer length or more distinct shape, usually paired with a looser jumper and a big oversized clutch. I do love accents here and there so rings everywhere have become my latest obsession on the accessory department.

I am wearing by Malene Birger jumper, H&M skirt, Stella Mccartney heels, clutch by Little Liffner, rings by Maria Black, Thomas Sabo (the gold ones) and Lara Bohnic (the three stacking rings)
