Endelig kom den etterlengtede Chanelvesken og jeg kunne vel ikke være mer fornøyd. Den er klassisk, vakker og passer til alle anledninger. Idag var en flott dag med temperaturer opp til 20 grader, og første dagen det var mulig å gå i kortermet. Fantastisk! Følg med imorgen når Side2 titter inn i garderoben min….

Lovely day, with great temperatures. Got to try out the hairdo and finally got the classic Chanel handbag that I have been lusting after. Its from the 80s and a real investment to my closet. Speaking of closets. Tomorrow you will get a peak inside my closet! Stay tuned…

Så enkelt, så lekkert. Hvis du ikke har langt hår som modellen Lydia Hearst, kan du fint få kjøpt deg hairextensions clips på ebay eller Glitter som du fester under ditt eget hår og som gir deg mye volum. Tupper håret og samle det på siden enten med lus, en vintage brosje eller en strikk. Avslutt med det hele med hårspray.

Love this carefree hairstyle spotted on model/actress (shes joining the Gossip Girl cast) Lydia Hearst. If you dont have the lenght, consider investing in some hairextensions (mine are real hair and a great investment). Brush the hair to one side, fasten with bobby pins, a beret or a vintage brooch. Seal it with hairspray and you are ready to go!

Fikk endelig den vintageskinnjakken jeg bestilte meg på ebay for en tid tilbake og er superfornøyd. Liker fargen, de korte ermene og belte i livet. Perfekt søndag med kaffe og verdens beste hjemmelagde kake på cafe.
So I finally got the vintage leather jacket I ordered a while back, and it turned out to be even better than I aniticipated. Love the tie belt, the colour and the short sleeves. The weather was horrible compared to the last few days, but thats Norway for you, lightning switch in temperatures. Went for a walk and ended up eating the best chocolate cake and a coffee. Perfekt . How was your sunday? Playing in my head: Come Fly Away, from the man himself, Frank Sinatra.

Tagged

Ok, så her er en av de morsomme greiene med å blogge. Jeg har blitt «tagged» av enc til å nevne seks quirk memory lapse. Jeg tar det på engelsk siden jeg innbiller meg at dere skjønner greia..
I have been tagged by fellow blogger observationmode! Its my first ever, so bear with me.
The rules:
1. Link the Person who tagged you
2. Mention the rules in your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers blogs letting them know they have been tagged.

Ok, so here we go, 6 quirks about me:
1. I love SATC. I can watch reruns for a whole day, It always cheers me up. I know the characters lines, outfits and other weird stuff by heart. When somebody says they have not seen the show, my heart almost stops and I have to convince them to go home and start watching immediately!
2. I check the lock on the door 2-3 times and the water heater 2 times before I leave the apartment in the morning. I always ask my husband in the car «Did we remember to turn the water heater off?» His reply: Always «yes, dear»
3. My mind is in overdrive. When I am working on a piece, a new fab idea pops up and I drift off, totally forgetting what I am supposed to do. That I get anything actually done, is beyond me.
4. I am supersticious, and pat myself on the back if a black cat crosses the road.
5. I have 2 personalities. I am born in the Gemini sign, and I can switch from sweet, loving, caring to fierce, crazy madwoman if someone provokes me.
6. If asked about dessert or other treats, the answer is always «yes», I just cant help myself and I think lifes to short to pass it up.

There you have it and the lucky girls are (please dont hate me, haha):
LA girl raininghatsandclogs
Cool Renate from renatesverden
Sweet monique from streetsloths
Lovely Kira of Kirafashion
Funny Ediot of hanmedhatten
The Chic Mademoiselle Bariolee
Please go through this and share same fab and funny things about yourselves!

Queen of flea market shopping


Foto: Trine Rasmussen, Side2
Lørdag er som regel loppemarkedshopping og idag var inget unntak. Fikk noen superbra kjøp (blant annet glassene og veskene på bildet). Hvis du går til Side2 og nettavisen leser artikkelen, så ser du kuppene og kan få gode råd om loppemarkedshopping.
Saturday means hitting flea markets in the hope of finding new treasures. Today was a great day as the sun was shining, people were happy and I scored some great stuff. I was interviewed for an article about flea market shopping and you can at least see the pictures here, even if you cant read it! The glasses, the handbags, the skirt and the lovely beauty box were some of my finds.

Har lett etter en billig veske med frynser i evigheter, men nå gav jeg opp. Har hatt mine øyne på denne fra Zara en stund, men synes den var for dyr (ca 1100, det er skinn,). Etter mye rasjonalisering tror jeg at jeg har bestemt meg for å beholde den. Hva synes dere?
After looking for a cheap handbag with fringes for a while, I gave in and bought the only one I liked for about 200 dollars (leather) from the Spanish chain Zara. I am still deciding wether or not to keep it and would love your input. What do you fashiongirls think?

Har mine øyne de gladiator sandalene som har vært på beina til flere kjendiser i det siste. Har ikke råd til de ekte fra Balenciaga, men disse til ca 100 kroner fra makemechic er perfekte! Lekkert til søte 50tallskjoler eller jeans shorts.

Loving those gladiator heels all the celebs have been sporting lately. Here is a cheap version from makemechic, but I do think they look good. Perfect to wamp up a 50s flower dress!

Personal Style

Ville dele med dere dette gode innlegget om personlig stil fra Streetsloth. Hun diskuterer hva personlig stil er og nevner meg som en av hennes inspirasjoner. Så hyggelig, bedre kunne egentlig ikke denne dagen bli.
So, I like reading tons of blogs and you girls are my inspiration. So it is very flattering when a fellow blogger names you as inspiration and a source for great style. I feel that personal style at its best is that you wear the clothes with confidence, and that you dont let the clothes wear you.I humbly bow my head and say thanks to Streetsloths. You made my day!
