Or in other words, happy New Year everyone! Of course, for those who celebrate the Chinese New Year.. Oh boy, it has been a proper while since I have been blogging. I can’t believe it has been over a month since the last post – a big whoops!

Simen was so kind enough to take some pictures of the outfit before taking a good cup of Chai Tea Latte with some friends at Bevisst on Friday – which seemed to be good idea looking back at now. The whole town is now covered with snow. Blah, the dream of warmer weather is fading away. Well, I can comfort myself that I’m going away to London again in few days. Hello British accent and fish and chips!

super duper

everything is vintace except for the zara boots

I managed to take a quick outfit picture outside Sentrum Scene with my Soyamilk before Coldplay concert! I know I should had told you guys earlier but I was asked the day before the concert if I wanted to join my friend who was lucky enough to win two tickets! I’m still in shock that I managed to stand front row, and get a hug from Chris Martin! After standing outside in bloody two hours after the concert it was damn worth to get the autographs! Yeah, last night super duper cool.

Sorry for the awful picture. It was taken by my phone since i didnt bring alon my heavy SDLR along. I look horrible because I'm sick at the momemnt and I even managed to sneeze five times during "Viva la vida".

Oops, forgot that I have a blog to try to keep alive. I have been too tired after school to do some blogging and been working a lot lately since the store is filled with Christmas shoppers. I guess it is going to be a lot busier now when the time nears Christmas.

So now that I can actually drive, I took a small trip to Sliperiet – a place near where I used to dance (yeah, I used to dance before and I have no idea why I did it) with Marianne. And here is me trying to enjoy the foggy weather with the coldness that came along last Sunday.

I have got a new phone, and the car license! After a year spending on practicing on driving, I have finally passed the test and can now drive on my own. So at my very first driving alone moment, I had the Florence and the machine CD playing in the car and sang along with my terrible singing voice – freedom!

It has been ages since I have given any signs of life on this blog. I know I promised to blog during the trip, but things got hectic and so fun that I forgot, and it was amazing until the last day, where I got picket pocked on Oxford Street.. Urghh, I can’t believe that all of the people on that street, it happened to me, so the past days I have been a busy bie with trying to find new cell phone and everything. I hate that all my life was in that wallet.

But here I am in Norway again in the freezing weather – from wearing no stocking in London to wearing wool stockings. The autumn which is not autumn anymore, is friggin freezing and if I’m right, the snow will soon come.

The suitcase is packed and I’m ready to go! It is reported to be nice and hot weather while I’m there, so hopefully my clothes goes along with the London weather. At the moment, I’m in Oslo to visit my brother for the weekend before leaving for London. Very little clothes for four days, but the suitcase is going to be full packed in end of the trip, trust me! And this time, I will probably be able to update blog while I'm gone!

cheap monday jeans, vintage cable knit sweater, shirt and satchel and zara loafers

This amazing cable knit sweater is truly one of my best finds ever. I bought it at the yearly Østre Halsen flea market, and the story behind it is quite funny because I didn’t originally found it at the first place. I was at clothing section and dug among the clothes, and suddenly the lady next to my found this sweater I’m wearing. I got all “ OH MY GOD, I MUST HAVE IT” and I stood next to her in few minutes in hope that she will change her thought about it, and the next thing I knew, she lost it on the ground without knowing it, so I grabbed it and run to the nearest seller. I know, such mean thing to do, but that is the story of my favorite sweater.

I have also cut my hair shorter! It was time for a small change, so now my hair is 5 centimeters shorter and I have no fringe this time. My hair has changed loads past three years and I’m quite fond of new changes, and the new change suite perfectly for the trip I’m going to in few days BECAUSE I’M GOING TO LONDON ON MONDAY! WOHOOOO!

arctic monkeys band tshirt, vintage skirt and cardigan, florence and the machine tote bag, and converse

Trying to keep the blog alive so here is another update: it’s not exactly a big secret about how much I love Arctic Monkeys and I try, by every chance to show my love for them. For instance (like you can see above)I use the new band shirt frequently as possible. Since they didn’t have an European tshirt at the moment I was on their gig in Oslo in May ( Ohhh, Alex looks so nice when he wears leather jacket), I had to go with the Sheffield. You have no idea how sad I get when I tell people I haven’t been to the Don Valley gig. These were taken right outside Bevisst for some days ago and

I get to terrible frustrated that I was in fact wearing a skirt on that day. And now I have to cover myself with heavy layers of clothes. Autumn has now arrived for sure.These were taken right outside Bevisst for some days ago

So far I have been hanging here twice less than a week after first discovering this place, which a quite record for me. First of all, because I’m not exactly huge coffee lover and when it comes to selection of cafés in this town, do not expect much – the selection here sucks!

So it’s a quite a miracle this fierce lady, Guro established a super cozy one in this town. And she has the best white chocolate Ice Mocca ever which has now become my new personal favorite. It’s so good to know, that everything she makes is either ecological or fair trade, or just both.

Not to mention, she sells clothing and stuff with the same background: ecological and fair trade. It’s so fun to walk around and get the stories behind every each item. All of her vintage furniture at Bevisst are gorgeous – I just want to steal all and place it at my place. Every piece of furniture you find here, have been given to her from nice old ladies – even the tea cups! I’m so jealous.

Okey, got finally the chance to use my new Cheap Monday jeans – they are so perfect! I love Cheap Monday so, so much. They are matter in fact the only jeans brand allowing my body to fit perfect and tight, but they are little too long on my legs though –hey, I guess short legs come along of being Asian!

So I wore this before heading to work and for a quick break with the girls, Henriette and Linh at small Café slash store which has now become my favorite spot to hang in town. Oh no, a new habit that will make my wallet more empty.

These pair of sunglasses has become my only sunglasses after as a silly and forgetful person, a managed to lose my favorite sunglasses in a supermarket in Vietnam. I have never been so sad over a pair of sunglass before that day – I can’t still believe it! So when I got these ray-bans on my 18th birthday, I bought this thing (I have no clue what the English name or neither the Norwegian name on this)to have around the neck- a smart thing isn’t it?

Wow, it’s already September which means only one thing: flea market season! I’m so stoked! I have already been to one last week, and found some things to the new room in Oslo but I’m more excited for the Østre Halsen flea market which is in this weekend! Haha, I sound like a nuts, but I LOVE flea markets – so addicted, urghhh.

eighteen

2011-08-28T18:16:00.008+02:00

I have been eighteen for a while, but I didn’t celebrate my big day with my friends because I was in Asia that moment. So here we go! I was so lucky with weather since I had outside in my neighbor’s lovely garden since it started to rain the day before and after, few! However, it got so stressful when my parents decided to lock me outside from the house when I still needed some stuff. Argh, and this is not the first time they have done it.

Some people decide to celebrate their the day big and have loads of people, I did the opposite. I love to have it small and intimate so therefore I had a dinner party with 16 of my closest friends. We had marinade rosemary chicken with potatosalad and salad and to desert we could choose between rhubarb pie with vanilla sauce or apple cake with ice cream. Shizz, I forgot to take pictures of the food, but anyways, I had a lovely evening with colorful lanterns and genius mustache

Oh holy crap I’m a senior now! I had my first school day today and it was a bit weird I guess, after two months of freedom. I feel gutted since this will be my last year of Videregående (College, Secondary school or whatever) before I’m moving to Oslo and starting at Uni. I mean – even the Russ magazine has arrived in the mail and it doesn’t properly start before next spring! Wow, small “you are growing old” signs everywhere.

Went to Marianne’s eighteen birthday party last Saturday, and had a little pre-fun outside Simen’s house before leaving for the birthday party. Had a sweet and cozy time with the girls and of course, the only boy there, Simen while dancing and eating chicken fajitas(yumyum in my tummy) before starting at school again, but things got sad when we realized flying lanterns outside where in memory for those who died during 22nd July. So as respect, we had one minute silent outside at the porch. I can’t believe today is one month ago since the horrible tragedy.

I do kinda feel like a grandmother, especially wearing the maxi skirt above. It’s like the whole outfit is screaming grandmother. Oh well, I always thought grandmothers are awesome persons, haha!

slottsfjell, baby!

2011-08-14T20:29:00.011+02:00

Expect a huge and friggin long post about Slottsfjell festival I attended last month. I can’t believe it has been a month since the festival, damn, and school is around the corner. Anyways, the results of bringing three disposable cameras to the festival arrived just in right time because around this time last month, I was sitting on the grass and enjoying the sunbeam with music in the background. And please excuse for my poor photographer skills.

I really miss the atmosphere – it was so, so good. People were walking around and so open and damn, I met a lot of Arctic Monkeys fans! Haha, I knew wearing an arctic monkeys band t-shirt was a good idea. Norwegian people are usually quiet and shut but at festivals, BAM, they are free and the social door is open. That’s why I love festivals so much, the atmosphere is fucking marvelous.

We went there a day earlier to get a decent camping spot. The good thing about Slottsfjell Festival, is that the festival it only takes 35 minutes with train from Larvik to Tønsberg- the festival location, which was pretty good ‘cause Hanna, not surprisingly enough, managed to forget her tickets.

forever21 dress, h&m lace socks, vintage flats and florence and the machine tote bag

The first day of Slottsfjell, Thursday with other words, was definitely the best of those three days the festival consisted of, I wore a red short dress which I got from my Singpore trip and I tried out the “socks in shoes” trend and never again, will I wear that dress during a concert because apparently, jumping around in the crowd doesn’t work out.

All the bands I wanted desperately to see were lined up that day. The area the festival was held at was truly a gorgeous place to have it. The view from the Tårnelunden was speechless! And I really liked where they placed the stages around the area – you could walking around and suddenly pop into a concert and join other people and you could really see that the people behind it all really wanted to show and exploit its nature, and this was my first time at Slottsfjell, so i really didn't know what is was expected.

Razika performed there and was first up for my “to watch” list. I had already seen them once before, but they respelled my love for them again. After few minutes with Razika I had to run to the next scene to catch a good standing before Two Door Cinema Club was starting, and I got almost the first row! I guess Two Door Cinema Club was probably the best of it all, they are so good at live. Rest of the night consisted of jumping around and dancing to Crystal Castles and watching Røyksopp from someone shoulders.

Hmm, what did I do during the Friday? Oh , it rained that day, A LOT. But thank god, I was prepared with brining my funny rubber boots and a rain poncho.

MHOO, Madcon, Katy B, Biffy Clyro, and Mr Orkester were on the set list. During the Madcon we and my friends were asked to get photographed and the next thing I knew, I was texted by Simen that I was on the local newspaper next day in my hometown, Larvik Hmm, I'm celebretity now

Saturday, the last day of the festival, was a perfect day to end the festival – the weather turned nice and Kaizers Orchestra was the headliner. I saw them in April, but this time it was different. So much better than last time, even though the concert lasted shorter but this one was so perfect in many ways. Except being squeezed in the crowd but that is just part of the fun. I managed to squeeze some time for Niki and the Dove before rushing to Datarock. I wished I had some more pictures from that day, but sadly I ran out of disposable camera or neither did I bring along my DSLR.

bikbok denim shirt, cheap monday shorts and topshop boots

One to things I really love about festivals, except for the feeling you get, is the food. Oh food, you are like a good drug to me <3. I didn’t realize they had a Ben&Jerry stand there before the very last day at Slottsfjell, so on the hottest day in July, I had one scoop of the delightful chocolate fudge brownie and my newest favorite, Fairly nuts.

Throughout the whole Slottsfjell I had a blast time, probably the biggest happening of this year so far. I have gained so many memories and experienced in so little time, and learned what i shall bring along and not. So in other words, I'm definitely going to attend the next year’s one, and this time, they will have their 10th anniversary as a festival. Damn, that is going to be super duper good one and this time, I will bring more disposable cameras.

I managed to take some outfit pictures before leaving for a daytrip to Sweden with a bunch of friends early morning, which is probably why I look so incredible, tired on the pictures. Sorry for that, my sleeping pattern is kinda crazy at the moment and waking up 8 am in the morning is the first time I have done in a very very long time this summer.

My blogging hasn’t either been on the top lately, I guess I have devoted more time on being with friends and work since the summer holiday is soon to an end instead of hanging in front of the laptop. Sorry guys, I hope this song can be plaster on the wound for the rare update on blog. I love this song much, and has been played numerous times during my summer

Yey, my summer is actually back! After the last post, the days have been really good(so far). Urgh, kinda noticed that many of my posts on this blog is about how good weather is or being in bitchy mood because of bad weather, but I shall stop with that. Except for enjoying the good weather, I have been around the city to help Linh for her sister’s wedding. I’m so stoke! Never been to a wedding before, so I’m going to attend my very first wedding this weekend!

Sorry for totally exposing of my scars/wounds. I was so clumsy during the Slottsfjell festival. Urghh, looks like I have had dozens of emo moments. And a small tips if you own a tote bag – never wash it, it loses its softness and gets wrinkles as it happened to mine.

These outfit pictures were taken ages ago. I get so frustrated when I see through the pictures again, on how perfect weather it was on that day. And now, it is just sad and grey weather full with rain, rain and rain. Hopefully, I get to use this pleated skirt (which was one of the scoop I found from last year flea market season) again before August month ends. I want my summer back now!

I feel weird doing an oufitpost or whatever during this chaos, but I guess I want to share that all my thoughts goes to those who have been affected of the happening in Oslo and Utøya. How can a man do this cruel things towards youngsters? It’s unbelievable; I never thought that this was going to happen with us at all – I’m still in shock. Stay strong, Norway.

So here is the stuff I’m bringing to Slottsfjell! The festival itself doesn’t before Thursday, but I’ll be leaving a day earlier to catch a decent camping spot. This will be my ever first Slottsfjell with camping, so Slottsfjell is taking my virginity on the real and proper festival. The upcoming days will be so memorial and good. However, my bag is so stuffed right now. With possibilities of weather changes, I have packed down extra shifts in case it rains, especially when the Norwegian weather is moody right now. Lol, I have also figured an outfit for every each day while staying there. I know it sounds stupid but I really don’t want lose any precious time. It’s going to be a pain carrying the heavy bag, but as long I see Biffy Clyro, Niki and the Dove and Two Door Cinema club, I am fine.

Ah, I’m so stoked right now. I’m ready for four days with festivities. And oh! I’ll unfortunately not update the blog during Slottsfjell.

the asia trip #1: singapore

2011-07-09T19:31:00.007+02:00

Fianlly, I have settled some time do this post about my Asia rip. I was supposed to do this right when I got back home last week, but my memory card has been in Oslo until today so I’m sorry about lack of posts on the blog.

So let’s start, shall we? Well, the Asia trip was beyond amazing – no regrets at all! The first stop at our Asia trip was Singapore, where we stayed for four days at a hotel named “Hotel M” which wasn’t a bad hotel at all, but those people worked behind the reception were rude. However, the hotel room was decent place to spend the night and the pool was gorgeous – spent some hours there to be honest. The first thing I noticed or felt, was the moist weather – it was so moist that I lost my all my contact lenses so I had to stick to glasses rest of the trip.

At the first day was settled our direction to Chinatown. Ahhh, I have dreamt about for Chinatown for a long time now. The vibe, the food, damn, I love Chinatown. We did almost all the dinners, breakfast, and lunch there. That’s probably why I have gained few pounds now. I found one course that I ate all the time there, redmeat with rice and of course, drinking yakult next to it. Ohman, I miss my yakult. Day two, we spent time walking around the town and taking typical tourist pictures and visiting one of Singapore’s many malls.

The thing I like about Singapore, is that it reminds me about America in many ways – the malls, the architecture, cheap food and not at least, how cheap using taxi is. We took taxi all the time, since it was bloody cheap, so using taxi in Singapore is something I really recommend if you are lazy as me. Sister and I celebrate an early 18th birthday, we took the taxi to a hotel called “Marina Bay Sands”. The architecture of the hotel is so amazing – on top of three different building it’s designed a boat that combine the three hotels underneath and on “the boat” you can see the view and eat dinner at this fancy restaurant, and that was exactly what we did. My birthday was a delight day itself. I had a “little sister and big sister day” where we spent a big part of the day walking around Ion Orchard. And after eaten a big dim sum brunch at “Paradise Dynasty”, we went to Topshop where I head Arctic Monkeys “Brick by Brick” . Listening that song while strolling around the store made my day. After searching for Tosphop for days, and finally finding it, I ended up not buying anything.

I miss Singapore a lot. I would anything for another day in Singapore.

leaving for asia

unknown brand dress, vintage loafers and purse

Have spent the last hours packing the suitcase and like usual, I always extend it to hours before leaving. I’m very unsure if I’m going to blog during the holiday, but I cross my fingers that I’ll get to update the blog. Otherwise, I’ll be back in Norway 1st July.

Both I and my tummy are ready to invade the Asian cousin and relaxing moments by the beach. And probably, both I and the suitcase likewise will gain extra pounds on the way home. See you guys later!

windy afternoon

2011-06-13T23:44:00.009+02:00

Spent the whole Sunday afternoon with Diem, where we walked to a nice hill near her house in Sandefjord. Going for a small hiking with oxfords isn’t exactly a good idea at all. But spending one hour and half in sun was damn worth it, except for the windy weather which lead to several times with exposing of my panties. Haha! Thank god, no one where there.

I really like those days where you can just go to a place with a friend or so, and sit down and chill while time past. I’m so looking for these times in the summer, and now, since I’m leaving for Asia just in few, few days, I have squeezed much time as possible to friends, so my schedule is pretty full right now.

bikbok top, monki skirt, vintage satchel and bicanco oxfords

And oh! I have been eyeing for a perfect pair of simple black oxfords and I found these ones from Bianco. They are so lovely, and I’m so pleased with these. Next one is definitely going to be a brown pair. Urghhh, I have hooked up with oxfords!

My stomach is still super stuffed after the lovely sushi date I had with my friends in the town. Helene offered me a free sushi meal as an early birthday gift, so I went little crazy with the sushi menu – I mean, c’mon it’s free sushi! Haha! It makes me sad that I’m not at home in Norway when I turn 18 in few days, but in friggin Asia. I do look forward to be back in Asia for the first time for 14 years, but I want to spend my birthday among my dearest friends in Norway so bad. Oh well.

I can’t still believe that in under a week, I will be 18 and not 17 anymore and finally, I can attend to concerts and drink legally and be in Singpore and Vietnam in the same process. I’m going to be three days in Singapore and then a week in Da Nang,Vietnam. So if you have any tips, feel free to share it! My sister has made a guide on what we’re going to do in Singapore, but I really want to do something more than those usual tourist shit. That reminds me that I have to start to pack my stuff. Fuck.

I’m free at last! My summer holiday has started and the school is over, finito and ferdig! The weather now is delightful at this moment, just sun and slight of breeze, too bad that I have to spend the most of the day on work. Yes, I have got a job or part-time job but however, it’s such a relief not spending the whole summer in Oslo. Every summer in two years, I had to work in Oslo instead of my hometown, and now I can enjoy my last summer in Larvik before moving to Oslo for the Universe next year.

Now I’m off to work! Have a lovely Friday and weekend, cutiepies!

bloody math

borrowed knit cable sweater, f21 skirt and topshop boots

I’m in middle of stressful month, so the blog hasn’t exactly been my first priority which I guess you guys have noticed. I’m having my last exam tomorrow and sadly I got drawn in Math, damn it. My brain isn’t that smart when it comes to numbers and rules. Now I’m working my ass off to hopefully score a good grade, but it’s soon summer vacation and I promise to blog more and often. Another reason why I haven’t blog much is because of blogspot. Is it just me or is blogspot just fucked up?

Before going on with the math, I have just listened to the new Arctic Monkeys album, where they have let their fans listen “Suck it and see” on their homepage before releasing their fourth album on 6th June. They getting better and better for each and every album they make – I love that band to death.

hurra!

Here is a little peak of what I wore on May 17th (The National day of Norway).I started the day with walking parade with my classmates and then, I went straight to Sandefjord to spend rest of the day with my friend, Diem. After spending 6 hours wandering around in town in loafers, my feet are officially dead tired.

I decided to stick with the same old fringe when I had my appointment with my hairdresser the other day - I guess fringe is only thing that I feel comfortable with. Now, my hair is freshly chopped and ready for 17th May and for the ARCTIC MONKEYS concert! No, you didn’t read it wrong; I am going to their concert tonight! Argh, I can’t still believe it, that finally my dream of going to an intimate concert with only Arctic Monkeys is being fulfilled!!!

As you have read earlier(if you have followed the blog lately) it was 18 age limit, but few days before today, they had arranged a venue for people who are under 18 and since it was such short notice and money was a problem, my friends gave offered the ticket and transport forth and back as a birthday gift! What an amazing gift, I will for sure never forget this upcoming night. So in short hours, I will be on my way to Oslo with my concert dude, Marianne!

And please stay tuned when I finally announced the winner of my give away. I was supposed to do this ages ago but because of internet problems at home (I’m at school atm) and mock exams, I haven’t time to announce the winner. I’m so sorry.

the last bits of april

The last day of April started with year’s first flea market and finally, I could wear shorts(without stockings!!) outside in the sun. The flea market was okey I guess – the selection was badly since it was apparently the last day of the two-day flea market. But I and Hanna left with a bag full of clothes, which only two items were mine. So on, we went to a park near to sit down and chatting about our last happenings in our lives. I can’t wait when summer time starts and the holiday as well – I love this kind of park life! And I’m going to eat my mama’s Bánh xèo before going off to a birthday party! Have a lovely evening and have fun on the last day of April!

vintage cardigan, levis shorts, gina tricot shirt, vintage briefcase and zara brouges

It is spring break and I’m enjoying to the fullest. Since I have finally the time, I have been all over places and seeing my friends. The week has been so good, and I have finally purchased my tickets to the Slottsfjell Festival to heal my wounds for not attending the Arctic Monkeys concert in May. This will be my first time I camp (related with festivals of course). I can’t simply wait for the summer to start, even though it already feels like summer.

Urgh, I really need a haircut. My hair is such a mess, but I really don’t what kind of hairdo I should pick. I have been thinking about doing this style only in short version or maybe I should stick with fringe?

when you scream too much

2011-04-13T20:05:00.005+02:00

zara cardigan, vintage blouse, monki skirt, h&m hat and vintage loafers

My voice has never been hoarse after a concert, but that was before I was on a Kaizers Orchestra concert. Argh, shouldn’t had screamed so much, but it was impossible to resist. The concert was beyond of what I expected, it was AMAZING! They are so brilliant live, and even better than the CDs. Actually, I think I’m going to see them live again as I have finally chosen which festival I’m going to attend. And the choice came on the Slottsfjell Festival – all the three days and now, my summer is completely perfect! Now as the Kaizers Orchestra is over, I’m ready for spring break!

For the first time in my life, I have bought a hat! I have always been skeptical to hats even though I have adored hats, but I guess it is because I haven’t find the “right” one. I think this one is going to stay in the closet forever and I’m going to wear it non-stop.

And remember, you can still enter my giveaway, where you can win $25 voucher to shop at VPV!

ready for kaizers

2011-04-09T16:48:00.002+02:00

The best thing about IKEA’s, is their cheap ice cream and the Swedish meatballs! LOL! Today, I have been at IKEA to help my sister to buy some stuff to her new apartment in Oslo. But right now, I’m quite ready for the Kaizers Orchestra concert tonight! And for once, it is a concert without 18 age limit! WOOPWOOP! I really looking forward to their concert, especially when they are one the few Norwegian bands I adore and they actually sing in Norwegian – pretty awesome or huh? But right now I have to run, have a fabulous Saturday!

a cheesy night

2011-04-07T22:16:00.008+02:00

I’m not a cheese person at all, or alright I am whenever Brie is in the picture. But I have never quite understood the idea of eating smelly and old cheese and so far, my palate can only handle Brie. However, last Friday, my friend, Hanna, invited me to a cheese night. Urgh, my stomach has never been so full of cheese before. Her mom made lovely homemade buns which go so well with butter and slices of the Norwegian cheese, Brunost – delicious! ^-^

And guess what! ARCTIC MONKEYS IS COMING TO FRIGGIN NORWAY THIS MAY! I can’t believe it and they haven’t been in Norway since their concert in 2007(not counting with the festivals they have been) + they are releasing a new album in the same month. But wait for it…. It is fuckin’ 18 age limit on the concert. FML! And the concert is a month before I’m turning 18 years old. Argh, those friggin age limit are literally killing me! Oh well, it is always a next time – I hope…

aiming for the summer

2011-03-30T18:02:00.007+02:00

an old h&m trench coat, borrowed sweater, monki skirt and topshop boots

The weather has been beyond divine. I have finally been able to wear this old trench coat that I got from a flea market last year. Ah, I love the fact it is sun every day and the snow is smelting – letting me for once less heavy clothes and being worried if I’m going to freeze to death. Now, I can’t simply wait for the summer to come! I have even thought about festivals, especially when all the headlines have been revealed, but it is so hard to pick one! I’m stuck between Øya Festival, that I have been since 2009 and Slottsfjell Festival. Arg, if only I could randomly find a pile of money on a street that I could attend both. Both of them look so damn tempting!

The very best combination

2011-03-25T22:29:00.012+01:00

Is the combination of food and vintage shopping along with friends. Since I had a day off from school and instead of spending time on working on homework, I took the time to take a new trip to this Goodwill store in Sandefjord since I failed on last time. Now I went on a weekday when it is open for once with my so-called Fretex-gang without Andrea(who actually spent her time on homework)

The Goodwill had very good selection of clothes, but I didn’t buy much except for a knitted sweater resembling to this. The clothes was toooo overprized even though the money goes to a good purpose. The store was candy for the eyes – the store had so much awesome stuff beside from clothes.

After looking and picking on stuff, we went to this nice café we have been also craving to visit since the both times I have been there, it has been closed of all the times I have to drop in, so two birds with one stone! So expect a bomb full of typical tourist pictures.

vintage floral dress, carlings cardigan, vintage briefcase and topshop boots

I have been sooo hooked up with this song by She & Him ever since I saw the third episode of “My Life as Liz” or wait, maybe it was second episode? Never mind, the song gives me such 60s vibe therefore the headline is dedicated to the song and as salute for the spring has come! I was such in doubt if spring was ever coming to the town since the last days the weather has been switching between snow and windy weather. Yes, it does snow sometimes, still in March – Norway, you know.

Anyway, gripping the chance of nice weather for once, I wore this nice floral dress I found at a local flea market last fall. It was originally a maxi dress that I have shortened by a lot and sewn to more fitting silhouette. Love working on stuff that I have bought from thrift stores and flea markets!

eating spring rolls

2011-03-12T23:36:00.006+01:00

Spent yesterday’s evening with Gunhild at her place where we fried some spring rolls which I had brought along with me. They have kind of funny shapes because is obvious not a good idea to store them in a plastic placed in backpack among heavy books, but they turned out good though! Now, the rest of the weekend is dedicated to homeworks, laziness and skyping with Simen.

All of my thoughts go to Japan and those who have been affected by the terrible natural disaster - Mother Nature can be so cruel sometimes.

o spring, where are you?

2011-03-08T20:43:00.002+01:00

vintage cardigan, zara shirt, bikbok leggings, bianco bag and as usual, topshop boots

This is what I wore during a school day for couple of days ago. Since the bloody winter is still in Norway, I have literally lived in cardigans and still, I haven’t seen a single sign of spring coming. This is the bad side of living in Norway, no-ending winters. Oh, I long for days with sun and ZERO snow.

Finally it is Friday again! Have spent the last English lesson on watching Norway taking gold again! Go, Northug, go! Matter in fact, the whole week has been involved with watching VM in ski on computer screens during lessons, and if we are lucky enough, the teachers give their permission to watch on the big screen in the classroom. What a joy! These things always brings out the patriot in me! Now, I’m going to drink a cup of tea while watching yesterday’s episode of Skins. Ah, I love Fridays!

an old camera and few highlights

2011-02-28T17:32:00.005+01:00

5 things that have made my week marvellous:
01. Vacation, which means NO school, NO homework and NONE early mornings
02. Have been able to thrift (WOOPWOOP!)
03. Visited my sister in Oslo
04. Hang with my friends I haven’t been with in a very, very long time
05. Found this lovely camera from the 90s in my dad’s drawer

The winter holiday is over and I’m back on school again. Darn it. I could definitely need more time away from school. And it’s now, the serious shit has started – all the important tests and all the friggin exams. NOOOOO! My brain isn’t that smart enough to handle it! Anyway, I have so fallen in love with this old canon camera my dad had in the 90s. It just needs a new battery and film then it is good to go! But I wonder if is still possible to buy films to these kinds of cameras in the stores or on the internet. I really want to take pictures with it so bad!

2011-02-23T16:41:00.010+01:00

den som leter skal finne//the one who looks, shall find- Fretex

Since it is winter holiday, I have pretty much dedicated part of this week to thrifting because most of the Goodwill’s are closed by the time I’m home from school, also at Saturdays (I have learned..)

Tuesday consisted of three good things: laughing, digging in clothes and eating junkfood! So yesterday, I and bunch of friends went to Tønsberg visiting the Salvation Army(named Fretex in Norway) I didn’t find much compared to my friends but I had a blast time anyway! Here is the result of three thrift-trips I have been so far this week. Nothing much but I’m very, very happy with the catch!

Edit** I almost forgot to mention that this neat girl has written a post about me! Thank you, for writing a post about me and your kind words!

lunch at jordbær pikene

2011-02-13T15:23:00.006+01:00

The other day, my friend, Marianne and I went up to the neighbor town, Sandefjord. I was eager to see this goodwill shop I heard all about from friends. If it is something I absolutely love in this world, is goodwill for sure, and food of course. But unfortunately it is quite few in the town I live in and the shops are terrible. That is why I go all crazy when I hear good Goodwill shops. After sitting in the bus for 30 minutes, and walking on slippery roads to find the store, it was close.FML. Now I know the shop doesn’t opens at Saturdays.

Anyway, after few minutes with moaning and swearing, we went off to a café to please our hungry stomachs and the disappointment. “Jordbær pikene” has its location inside a shopping mall, so beside from eating, we can shop too- what a great combination! Like other restaurants and cafes on Saturdays, it was full with hungry people. So it took longer than usual to get our plates. But the waiting was definitely worth it when the first scoop went into my mouth. I ordered Cheeseburger with fries while Marianne went for Chicken burger with chorizo and potatoes with herbs. YUM! Gosh, I love burgers; I’m truly a junk food lover.

We had our plans to eat desert after, but our stomachs couldn’t handle food anymore, sadly.

a delayed post

I was supposed to post during the weekend, but the stupid internet disappeared. After fixing the internet I’m back at top again! I have never felt so lonely without internet before last weekend. Right now, I’m catching up the last Thursday episode of Skins – gosh, I have missed that series. And I have seen the American version too; let us say that they will never be able to beat the UK gang. Of course, the first generation is still the best.

sunday morning

2011-01-30T17:46:00.002+01:00

I know I have been absent lately, but such much stuff has been going on, and finally my dearest camera is back. One of biggest reasons on why I haven’t been blogging lately, but I will for sure blogging more this time! Today I woke up in Oslo, where I have spent the whole weekend with my lovely friend, Linh, at her sister’s apartment but now I’m home! Rad people, good food and lots of laughing are perfect combination for a perfect weekend. Besides, reading “A thousand splendid suns” and drinking avocado drink (kinda) while waiting for breakfast made my weekend even better, and a great ending before heading back to school tomorrow. Blah!

I can barely remember what I did in London. It has been over two months since I were there, and I know you guys must be tires of my London pictures, but I swear it’s the last London post I ever do this year. The last day we were there, was on a Thursday – very bad day if you are going to visit Portobello Road and your main focus is the flea market because it is never flea market on a Thursday. FML T_T However, I got to taste my first cupcake from the bakery, Hummingbird which was the BEST cupcake ever. Yumyum, heavenly taste of a red velvet cupcake. Later that day, we decided to have a small picnic in a park nearby and ahhhh, I have to confess my new English love; TESCO!!!! Gosh, I wish I had Tesco in the neighbourhood. We bought food from there and ELLE magazine and of course NME – one of my must buy every time I’m in England. I miss London very much, I hope it is going to be a London trip next year, but I doubt about it.

Wow, it is almost a month since I posted something on the blog. Well, it for sure time for an update! My life has at the moment been crazy and such many things have happened lately. I can say now, that I hate snow. For couple of days ago, it was -15 Celsius outside! Yikes, and it is getting worse. Trust me, when it comes to Norwegian weather, it is getting colder than that. But Christmas is coming near, and since I’m living in Norway, we celebrate the Christmas Eve on 24th. Whopwhop, only 20 days to go!

I felt strongly for a change, and then I decided to chop 8 cm my hair off. Delightful I must say, ‘cause my hair was getting way too long and it was bored to have that way. I’m very pleased with the new haircut. It feels so different and as usual, I have hide away the fringe until it is getting longer.

vantage point vintage interview

2010-12-03T17:19:00.004+01:00

What happens if one couple who shares a big love for vintage fashion? Well, that is where you get Vantage Point Vintage. VPV is a vintage online store founded by Jenny & Josh, who is not surprisingly enough married. The store is nearly three years old, but it has been a huge success for Jenny and Josh since they established the store in 2008.

Assumed from the word “Vantage”, the store gives vantage for vintage lovers to shop gorgeous pieces from different decades. I have to say, if I only had a credit card to shop online – I would for sure bought the lovely lace jacket underneath. To celebrate my 100th post, I was privileged enough to interview the fashion lovers behind VPV, and I can proudly that they have become my very first sponsor.

Tell us about “VantagePointVintage” and why you guys started it.
I’ve always loved to shop and have enjoyed wearing unique and eclectic outfits. My husband also is a vintage clothing lover, especially vintage t-shirts. In the beginning of 2008 he decided to start selling some old t-shirts online as a way to pay for new vintage finds and over the past 2.5 years VPV has evolved from our modest roots.

What are your favorite items in the store at the moment and how would you dress this up?
We have some really fabulous items in the store right now. The fall / winter season is one of my favorites to dress for. Our store is currently featuring several adorable sweaters and cardigans (my personal weakness) that are perfect to pair with boots, stockings and a mini dress, or your favorite pair of jeans. For men, we have several rockabilly flannel shirts, which I think is a great look for guys, especially when paired with a dark wash jean and pea coat or leather jacket.

How do you and your husband choose the items to the store?
When choosing items for the VPV store, we look for vintage items in great condition, keeping in mind the current trends as well as classic looks. We are especially excited when we discover really unique items; giving our customers the opportunity to express their personal sense of style through a rare or unusual piece is an important goal.

The store consists of many clothes from different decades, what is your favorite decade?
There are really amazing clothes from every decade that have left a lasting impression on fashion. I appreciate the beauty of classic items from the 50’s and 60’s and think they make great wardrobe staples. I also really like to add a bit of “punch” to my outfits and enjoy mixing in statement pieces from the 70’s and 80’s when fashion was a bit more dramatic. For example, I love wearing a simple 60’s trench coat over my skinnies, pumps, and vintage blouse. Another look I love is layering a great 80’s blazer over a cute mini dress.

Best of all, beside from the vantage, they ship for free worldwide! To check more go to their store and you can find VPV at twitter, ebay, myspace, facebook, and their blog.

The flea market season is over for this year and here is the stuff I found after three flea markets last October. Nothing is like a good catch after hunting!

dark november

2010-11-01T17:45:00.004+01:00

thrifted cardigan, gina tricot shirt, monki tank top (underneath), h&m belt and topshop boots

Realized that it has been over one weeks since I post anything on the blog, so I think it’s time that type something on the blog before it gets overload of dust. I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend like I had? Pretty stressful, but great! Sad enough, I’m too old to wandering around the street. So instead of grinning over the few candies and the cold weather, I stayed inside with couple of friend and watched a horror movie.

It’s so weird the time is 5.45 and its dark like hell outside. But I like it ‘cause then I can stay inside covered with a blanket while listening to music. Right now, I just craving for Albanian tea.

hello snow

2010-10-22T21:27:00.007+02:00

topshop coat and boots, cheap monday jeans, thrifted mittens(yep, they are in wrong way!)and zara bag

The first day with snow is always magical. Especially, when the first flakes comes at evening and you see the snowflakes in a twinkle light from the streetlamps. But after days with slippery roads and waiting for hours for the bus in the friggin cold Norwegian weather isa bummer! I hate snow after weeks, but then I always fall in love with snow again at Christmas Eve. With snow coming, means that I have to pack myself in mittens and wear year’s winter coat. Luckily, I found this gorgeous coat at Topshop-not shocking. It reminds me a lot of one I had when I was 5 years old, just only in red with missing buttons.

To celebrate the first snow (before I hate it), I have an especially offer for my cutiepies! The Urban Apparel, has been so kind that they are going to offer my readers 15% discount on everything until 30 November. Just write “Exclusive Discount” when you purchase!

A little break from the London pictures. Looking over the pictures, make me missing London like crazy! Good, its Friday today. I’m going to spend the whole Saturday evening with my sweet friend, Tringa and drink Albaninan tee which I’m very addicted to! Let me represent you for my favorite shoes at the moment, black boots from Topshop. They costed me £65, but it was totally worth it! And trust me, you guys are going to see them a lot !

honey, i'm home

2010-10-09T17:13:00.006+02:00

With sadness, I have to say I’m home again. London was amaaaaaaaaaazing! What else? Now, i’m 4400 KR poorer and I bet that I have gained a couple of pounds after all those late night McDonalds meals and eating bags of Doritoes. But on the other side, I have new things to add in the closet and I got my hands on Elle UK with Alexa Chung as cover + weekly NME!. We didn’t do so much sightseeing this time, we decided to use the money on shopping rather than standing in line for hours and being stuck on places packed with people. Beside from shopping on Oxford Streets, we did visited Kensingston Park and Portobello Road market. Unfortunately, the days we were there was weekday so it wasn’t so much action. Half of the money I had with me was gone after few hours inside Topshop. It’s so many gorgeous things there! Omg, my body went all crazy and mouth went watering! I will show the things and more pictures from LDN later.

The hotel we stayed on was OK. At least it was better than the first hotel we stayed on last year. But the hotel had the world’s tiniest lift ever! It was at least 50 cm wide and 1 m long. But I survived, but not my sister..... Joking!I really envy you guys, who lives in England! You lucky bastards! England is such divine country to live. I have matter in fact thought of moving to LDN to study there, but I’m a little unsure because of money and such. But we’ll see what future brings.

Doing a very quick post before I’m heading to the airport with my sister. Took the picture above yesterday, because I predicted that I was going to have little time to blog this morning and this is exactly what I’m wearing this moment. I go for wearing black again.

oh, so unreal that in just few hours, I’m going to sit on a plane heading to London! I heart that city. But I’m ready, very ready. Read the weather rapport for the next days, seems like I have to wear wellies. Anyway, just want to thank you guys the travel well-wishes and the tips about London. I’ll be gone from Thursday to Friday and unfortunately, we are not bringing the computers with us, so it’s zero blogging while I’m in London. See you guys later, alligator!

oh happy news

h&m divided sweater, f21 skirt and some old boots inherited from my sister

The autumn break has started. My body is ready for one week with no school and waking up 11 o’clock in the morning. Ah, it’ going to be heaven again with one week without boring classes and “hurry up to the bus stop” moments. Oh, heaven and oh, heaven, here I am. But like title says, I have happy news to share with you guys: I’M GOING TO LONDON with my sister in few days or in 4 days to be more exactly.

I’m so fuckin’ excited! I’m only going be there for 4 days, but however I can’t wait to drink Starbucks, eat Fish’n’chips , hear the lovely British accent again and most of all, going nuts with shopping! If you guys have any tips about vintage shops, where to eat, whatever. Please, please, don’t be shy with sharing it, ‘cause I’m really going to need it, even though I have been there once, but I really want to explore something more than just Oxford Street and typical London tourist places crowded with people.

Anyway, before I’m leaving, to my neighbor to join her in her sauna, I just want ask: “Are you bloody happy that I’m not wearing black now, Simen?” You see, he has nagged about that I should wear more colors than just black. I know many of you guys out there are tired of me wearing black. I guess it’s just an old habit that I can’t shake off. Sigh. But now I have to run: Have a great weekend/Autumn break, cutiepies!

I walked home in the rain from school. I love to get home all wet, then change my clothes and watch TV while being buried in blanket.

please,please,please, let me get what i want

2010-09-18T21:27:00.005+02:00

vintage shirt, borrowed lace tank top, monki skirt and primark canvas

I have been a busy bee lately. Homework and car driving have taken my time these days. Sigh, I miss the summer days so bad! Oh, I have forgotten to mention that I have started to drive with my mom, which is pain in the ass. She always yelling at me and panicking all the friggin time! But however, I haven still killed a person on the road yet or an animal. So please guys, beware.

I’m so pleased with the things I bought from the flea market. I only paid 5 KR for this see through shirt, which is under a dollar or something. It was really lucky I found this, because an old lady was supposed to buy it, but she changed her opinion last minute. I’m, pleased, pleased, pleased as hell! Even though it’s a little big to me, I have an old habit to buy things that is too big to me.

i heart flea market

2010-09-09T20:47:00.010+02:00

I was supposed to post this last weekend, but had never bothered to make this post before now and. Yes, I LOVE flea markets. I'm definitely a flea market person. It’s something about it, the looking and the adrenalin kick by searching after the right thing – the treasure. Last weekend I was at Østre Halsen flea market, which is one of the biggest flea market in my county and is always happening in the first week in the September. So during the weekend I was a treasure hunter. I always came 30 min before it started and was desperately trying to be the first in the line. The clothes section was in a tent and during the two days of flea market, it was crazy hot. Just imagine how it was inside the tent with 40 other people. After looking in the clothes, section it was straight forward the book section + furniture section, but I didn’t buy anything. No point, because my room is too damn small to buy furniture and I have no place to put books. Sigh, can’t wait to move on my own. But I did found many old Nancy Drew with old classic Drew covers..

But I did bought a lot of clothes for sure! I bought 2 shirts which was a see through shirt and a silk shirt, a purse, an old h&m trench coat, a floral dress, an old skirt, a pair of mittens(not pictured) and see through top(not pictured). All these I got for whopping 135 KR! I’m still amazed by the numbers. On the first day, I only spent 15 KR on the shirts and the skirt, and on the second day, I used 120 KR on the rest of the stuff. The first day was pretty cheap, but the second day was damn pricy but, still cheap. Now all the clothes are washed and I have sewn all the missing button on the shirts and shorten the lenght of the skirt and the dress.

hello, monki

2010-09-06T21:14:00.006+02:00

Received the Monki Autumn issue after joining the magazine-membership couple of days ago, and I must say- it was a genius idea to publish a magazine! I’m already taken by the magazine, even though I’m Monki blessed. The way they use the colours and how they mix drawing and the objects are so rad! It makes the editorials such an eyecandy and not boring to explore. For those who don’t know about Monki – Monki is a Swedish brand and much known for their special and divine style and unique stores. They have stores all over the Scandinavia and is a part of the H&M. And is, without hesitation, one of my favourites stores.

The design and everything it contained were marvellous and beyond. I couldn’t stop drooling over autumn collection. My favourites from the autumn collection were definitely the brown bowl hat and all the oversized knit sweaters. Can’t wait when the stuff hits to the stores and thank god it’s a Monki store just right by my sister apartment.

white chocolate chip cookies

2010-09-02T18:48:00.014+02:00

Me and my neighbour made these lovely white chocolate chip cookies last weekend. Those cookies were for sure delightful as the pictures say and they were super duper easy to make too! In spite of this was my first time that I made cookies. I will for sure repeat that, it seems like cookies is the only thing in the world I can bake without burning them and I have a huge thing when it comes to white chocolate. Since I'm in cookie/baking mood now, any cookie-recipes I should try?

colourful for once

selfmade dress, zara cardigan and hunter wellies

An outfit i wore for couple days ago before going to Henriette’s goodbye party. It’s very rare I use dress, especially short like this, because I have horrible scars on my legs that I don’t like to show off. But finding this old dress in my closet I made for my birthday last year, I knew I just had to wear it that day. Just for once in a long time, I’m not wearing anything black or dark clothes. It’s a habit I guess.

Haha, I remember when I showed my mom my dress while wearing for the first time, and asked about her opinion about the dress. Do you know what she said? She said “it’s showing your boobs” in a cruel way. It is sooooo typical my mom saying that or does dress show my boobs a little?

I just got picked on DagensOutfit as "dagens outfit", which simply means "todays outfit" in English. The people behind the blog picks the "todays outfit". It is pretty much almost the same as Teenvogue does, but just in their own way. I love this site, I browse through every day to find new hidden fashionistas and get a dose of inspiration. Thank you for being featured, DagensOutfit!

For couple of months ago, I saw my dad wearing old Levi’s jeans which caught my eyes. I knew right away that they were perfect to cut to shorts. And in whole two months, I begged to have them but he always said no ‘cause he knew which plans I had for his jeans. Then I decided to try one more time before giving up –after seeing the picture above you can guess what he answered. His old jeans are now my shorts and I’m so H-A-P-P-Y! They are little bit big around my thighs, but I give damn right now.

And oh, the beautiful and little big briefcase above is from a flea market I went with my neighbour yesterday. Can you guess how much it cost me? Only 20 KR//$3.25!!! Pretty cheap or what? Anyway, these purchases + the sunny weekend made me super happy mood right now.

before the summer ends

2010-08-17T21:54:00.005+02:00

f21 maxi dress worn as a skirt, monki tank top and h&m belt

This summer has gone incredible fast, waaaaaaaay too fast. Well, late nights and waking up 11 o’clock every day seems to be over for this moment. Now it’s going to be early mornings and 6 hours school days. Damn, the school starts tomorrow. Can’t simply wait (ironic if you could'n see that). At least, I get the chance to see my friends again, after being stuck in Oslo for the whole summer. Oh, I think I forgot to tell you guys I’m back at home again in Larvik. It’s great to sleep in my own bed again after sharing the bed with a big ass sister for friggin two months(no offence, but you do have kinda have a big butt). Anyway, have you guys heard the hottie Alex Turner has returned to his buddy, Mr. Hottie no. 2, Miles Kane and reunited The Last Shadow Puppets? Ooooh, I really hope they come to Norway once. It would be sooo rad if I could see them live once. I cross my fingers! Or i should double cross my fingers, it's friggin Norway we are talking about.

one year, 18 hours and 50 min, since i saw alex turner live

2010-08-14T15:31:00.013+02:00

Last night was truly amazing! I was supposed to bring my sister with me, but something showed up. So instead of my sister, Hanna came instead. That morning it started to rain a lot. It didn’t rain for an hour or so, but literally for hours. So of course I packed myself with warm and thick clothes, and wore wellies because I knew it was going to be muddy. Neither did I brought my SLR, ‘cause I heard some rumours before that it wasn’t allowed to bring SLR in to the festival. Just right before we were entering the festival, the sun decided to show up. GOD DAMN IT! And while wandering around, I noticed several people with SLR around their neck. I didn’t have a digital camera either, so the result was bad mobile pictures. Beside from bad choice with clothes and horrible equality pictures, the line up was magnificent! I saw Susanne Sundfør, my favourite: Marina and the Diamonds, La Roux and Robyn.

Gosh, I have never danced so much during a concert before and Robyn was truly one of the best live I have ever seen and that lady can dance! She made my ass shake for sure!. Marina and diamonds didn’t last so much, I think she had trouble with her voice, since she repeated said “I’m starting to lose my voice etc.” Except for the short concert, I loved her stage appearance with rad round sunglasses and awesome “costumes”. La Roux was OK, I was surprised how good she sounded live, ‘cause I have always had in my mind she has a suckie voice live.

The end of the day, my voice got so sore after singing along so much and all that screaming. I had a great time, though, especially when I had Hanna along, but I’m so mad at myself for not bringing along my camera. Haha, poor Hanna, she forgot to bring wellies, so you can imagine how muddy she got after a day.

sometimes, rain isn't a killjoy

2010-08-08T00:07:00.006+02:00

(I wore this with a jacket outside of course): h&m sheer tank top, belt(yes, again)+ knee high socks, monki skirt and hunter wellies

Hi cutiepies! Sorry for my absent (like always). My computer has been in Larvik while I returned to Oslo, but now it is back in my lap again. The weekend in Larvik was great combined with good homemade Vietnamese food and of course, suuuuuun. Geezz, I hate when it rains in middle of the summer. I guess one of the good sides of rains, are that I get to use my hunter wellies.

While I was there, I had the opportunity to go to my hairdresser.So here I am with a new haircut or nahh, it is not a really a big change, though. Same old haircut just a little bit shorter and the summer ruined parts are chopped off. But the fringe I have been missing, is backkk on my forhead! Just not atm, ‘because I like to hideaway my fringe until it’s longer.

in the capital o-s-l-o

2010-07-24T22:25:00.014+02:00

Once again I have played tourist in Oslo. My friend Diem came all the way from Sandefjord to visit me in Oslo. After being in Oslo with no friends ,it’s get kinda boring and lonely. I’m was super happy when she said wanted to visit me even though, I was forced to wake up 8.30 AM on a Saturday morning to pick her up from bus station.

Trying my best to be a show the good side of the capital, we walked around in Majostuen and ended up laying down in Slottsparken to take a little break from it all before continue shopping. (beware of upcoming typical tourist pictures shots)

After taking loads of picture in front of the castle, we ate ice cream( I ate ice cream while she bought Vitaminwater) at Mövenpick ice cream bar, and I must say they have THE best picaschio ice cream E-V-E-R! If you really want to eat good quality ice cream in Oslo, pay a visit Mövenpick ice cream bar at Karl Johan.I was supposed to shoe Diem the Opera house, but somthin’ disrupted the upcoming sightseeing place. But the other side, I got one skirt from Monki for only 60 kr or €7.50/$9.50 and a Blackbook top from h&m, but sadly Diem had to leave extra early then we planned, but she has lighten up my weekend and waking up 8.30 AM was worthy hell!

by the river again

2010-07-18T15:24:00.005+02:00

zara striped sweater, cheap monday jeans and converse

I have worn this white converse which I bought in NYC last February, almost every single day. When I bought this pair, I was little skeptical on white shoes ‘cause every time I buy white things, clothing, whatever. I ALWAYS get this comment “you shouldn’t buy white, it’s going be dirty blablabla” from my sister or mama, but I’m very VERY happy I bought these pair. So far, they are only dirty on the tip of the shoes.

Currently i’m sitting on the bed with my computer in my lap and my sister by my side after little lunch by the river in Nydalen. It’s long time since I have been by the river. So taken by thought go out and eat little “lunch” today, we were off to the river. We grabbed cinnamon bun, roll with mozzarella, tomatoes, and pesto from the local cafe, "Kaffepiker". And surprisingly enough, I bough hot chocolate in middle of the summer ‘cause suddenly while standing in the café, I was craving for hot chocolate. Weird, huh? While we talked and enjoyed the sun, it started to blow and the little leftover cinnamon bun blew away and landed on the ground. Damn it.

As you might see, I have Teen Vogue best dressed of the day button on my blog! Ah, it was so weird to see on Teen Vogue page with picture of me. I must say, the day I got the email with the answer, I thought it was just another garbage email, but no. I got so surprised and the same time I jumped up and down.

the result of playing tourist in oslo

2010-07-10T22:32:00.010+02:00

clockwise from left: two monki tank top, zara sweater and gina tricot blouse

As the title says this is the result of playing tourist in Oslo are new clothes. After spending few weeks in Oslo, my brother took me sighting (+ shopping ofc) in Oslo and we walked for friggin 4 hours! We saw the castle, where the queen and the king of Norway live. On the top of the building, was a flag flagging, which I think means that the prime minister is on a visit or something. Plus, some of the soldiers had a little parade outside. And we weren't the only tourists in the town. As the summer is here, the town is full of tourists.

After the walking down to the famous Norwegian street, Karl Johan and dinner at TIGI FRIDAYS, we went down to the famous Opera building. Of all the times I have been in Oslo (and that is quite a lot) I have never seen or been at the Opera house. I must say, I adored the architecture and the color, white, fitted perfectly to the ocean. We walked and to the to , and the view was speechless. But it was one thing I could figure it out, they had a big sculpture of a ship few meters away the opera in the sea. Kinda weird, but I guess that it is just art. Now my legs are tired and crying for bed. cheers and have a great weekend!

my love's an iron ball

Eclipse was incredible great movie! It knocked out New moon and Twilight. I felt like a giggled little girl during the movie, which I’m a little ashamed of ‘cause every time I watch Twilight I can’t help myself being a 14 year old again! Sadly, none of the scenes contained Robert halfway naked, but that’s ok ‘cause I got to see him sparkle. God, he is so hot when he sparkling.

I have an old habit to get addicted to the soundtracks of the twilight movies. I always notice the music in the movies first. They always pick the perfect song for the each of the scenes like the song was made exactly for that scene. When the first movie came out, I had spotlight and supermassive black holes stuck on my mind. And now, I have heavy in your arms by Florence + the machine(the title is from the lyrics) and my love by Sia on my mind. God, you have no idea how many times I have played these songs over and over again. Matter in fact I think im going to play the songs again while reading twilight;by dawn

arctic monekys concert tee, levi's shorts, h&m bag and converse

It’s so bloody hell hard to take the perfect outfit pictures in my sister’s apartment. Every single pictures I take, gets so dark wherever I’m standing. I have tried to fix the darkness in Photoshop and the moderation on the slr, but so far this it’s the best result. Sorry guys! Now I’m missing my bedroom in Larvik. A LOT!

Yay, I have finally started to work, but all the money goes to London-saving-trip-box. Sigh. I will try to update the blog more, but it’s so hard ‘cause the first thing I do when I get home is to go to my best friend in the world, the bed. Have I mention I’m going to watch Eclipse with my sistah tomorrow? No? I hope the movie is great as the book, but as long I see Robert Patts halfway naked, I’m pleased . And Oh, before I forget it like last time, I just want to say thank you guys for all the congratulation comments! You guys are truly beessst readers of all time!

lunch at bølgen&moi

2010-06-26T17:15:00.018+02:00

Hey guys, been a while huh? I don’t have done much since last time, accept for geeking smallville and being lazy. Gosh, the summer break has really affected my laziness and blogging. So trying to move my ass away from sofa and out, my sister and I went out for lunch at Bølgen & moi, a restaurant few blocks away from my sister’s apartment.They make one of greatest burgers I have ever tasted, but this time I chose some delicious steamed mussels with fries and garlic aioli. It felt like more dinner than lunch, though. My sister went for salad with parma ham. We usually eat inside, but the weather was so hot that we ate outside. I was surprised to see that they had a little kitchen garden with hanging chilli outside. The steamed mussels was perfect, and I love the new way to dip the fries in aioli instead of ketchup. Mmm, I’m getting water in mouth by just rethinking the food in my mind.

After finishing eating, we went shopping at Storo, a mall nearby. So far, I have spend my money on important things, such as my beloving shampoo, toni&guy and cleansing to my face. Lately, it’s a lot of sales, and now that I have money, it seemed like I can’t find ANYTHING. Hmf, at least I bought a high-waisted shorts as a birthday gift to myself.

seventeen

2010-06-21T12:37:00.013+02:00

f21 maxi dress, h&m divided blazer and converse(again, shock eh?)

Im friggin seventeen now. Yikes, I still feel like 16. The day was pretty a good day, although I didn’t have a birthday party with my friends this year. I got money + nyc trip in last february which was an early birthday gift from my sister. I also got to choose what to eat to dinner on the day, and then on we had Vietnamese barbeque + mama made my fav soup. On this moment, I’m in Oslo. Fuck yeah, now I can spend some money on shopping and its summer break now. Waking up 11 clock every day is pure heaven.

the last trip: stokkeøya

2010-06-19T00:07:00.007+02:00

I’m overexhausted at this moment; I have only slept 3-4 hours and have this creepy feeling that is bugs or something is crawling on my buddy. Spending the night with the class was a pleasant time, accept for the bugs, spiders and let us not forget the mosquitoes. I love them. Thank you for biting me .If you have read or followed the blog some time, the class is going to split after the summer break, so as our last trip together as a whole class we had a camping trip at Stokkeøya, where one of my classmates lives. After troubling time with putting up the tents, we played many games and barbequed.

Some of us slept under the sky and some of us decided to talk to the darkest hours. Some of my tentbuddies and roosters made up their mind to wake me up 5.30 in the morning. Before we left the island or Stokkeøya, Kaja who lives on the island, told us creepy ghoststories. I’m glad that she didn’t told the stories the night before and worst part is, is that is true stories -_-“ I’m going to have nightmares tonight. Damn it. But I’m very happy to return my soft big bed instead of hard ground and it’s officially summer break. Woho!

The first year of three is over and done, just two years to go…

through the week

2010-06-15T14:52:00.006+02:00

01. h&m sheer tank top, f21 skirt and dads old belt
02. h&m sheer tank top and only selfcutted shorts
03. My brothers sweater, levi’s shorts and h&m belt

I have done it again. i have been a bad blogger lately. I haven’t updated the blog so much as I’m used to. With all these days off from school, I have been barbequing numerous times with Diem , been with My Nam and had marathon of Dawson’s Creek season 6 and the Pacific. What a GENIUS series, btw. And unfortunately, I’m very busy this week too, with camping with my classmates and with my birthday. But I will be back soon !

an early start

2010-06-10T23:38:00.007+02:00

borrowed jacket, f21 high waisted shorts, h&m sheer tank top + leather belt and bianco canvas shoes

Have gone a couple of hours since I came home from a decent barbeque date with DH// Diem Huong, but the date was quickly interrupted of the cloudy weather. We had also fluffy marshmallows as gift to ourselves that neither of us got drawn up in oral exam with our biggest pleasure. Ahhhhhhhhhh, that means that I’m going to have few days of f this upcoming week! So you can say that my summer vacation has already started. Yeahhh, I love the thought of it.

Advice: Never use shoes like i have on the pictures above, if you are going to walk a long distance. ‘cause it is only going to give you big blisters on the back of the heel, like i have at the moment after walking all the way home in the heat to DH from Sandefjords library. btw guys, it is not me lying on the grass.. it is my friend, diem.

breaking it up

2010-06-08T14:15:00.016+02:00

h&m divided blazer + sheer tank top, bikbok tights and converse

I have been a BAD blogger. I haven’t spent so much time on sitting in front of the computer lately. I have been so busy with hanging in Sandefjord and my friend, Diem Huong, has visited me + the space button on the keyboard was ruined. But the problem is fixed! The sun has taken a break, and now is raining like hell. I think I’m going to crawl under the blanket and start to read "The short second life of Bree Tanner". The newest book slash novella, by the twilight queen, Stephenie Meyer. She is so nice and sweet, to let the fans read the book on the internet! That lady is truly devoted to her fans!

This is what I wore last Saturday. I still wear black, even though it’s summer and warm. No wonder why, my wardobe just consist of dark clothes and almost nothing else.

2010-06-03T20:36:00.010+02:00

Have you ever had that feeling where you just want to runaway to a beach and just relax with your friends? I had that feeling today, so I asked some class friends to head to the beach near school. We started to heading to the beach just right after the lunch break started. We were there two hours, before we have to rush back to the class. To lie down on a blanket, have the sand between your feet and let the sun beam were very relaxing before next Thursday, when we find out who is going to have oral exams. Fuck.

to go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear

2010-06-01T20:47:00.010+02:00

h&m leather jacket+belt, f21 maxi dress and steve madden gladitor sandals

Yikes, it’s almost summer break or just 17 days to count. This semester has gone super fast, too fast. Thinking about summer break, I got another joy news to share.. I GOT A JOB! Or i’m going to just work in the summer, but still. I’M GOING TO BE RICH AFTER THE SUMMER! Hehe, and I have plans for the money. Since the job is in Oslo, I have to live at my sister’s apartment with her. The job starts just one week after the summer break begins. I had the same job in last summer, so I have no nervous feelings about the first day.

The maxi dress I’m wearing is made of so soft fabric. I want to live in it for rest of my life and I need to buy more maxi dresses, they are super fabulous to the summer weather! '

Update: I got a job at the Post office,where i'm going to help to sort the mails and etc!

i'm counting down

2010-05-30T16:47:00.007+02:00

FUCK YEAH, my sister just ordered the Friday 13th tickets to the Øya festival! On that day, I’m finally going to see La Roux, Marina and The Diamonds and Robyn live! I was supposed to go a La Roux concert in March, but the stupid “you have to be 18 years old to enter” policy stopped me. That is why I love to festivals, ‘cause is not a stupid age-policy to enter and the atmosphere ofc.

I have been at Øya festival just once and that was my first trip to a festival ever. Ah, I remember like it was yesterday. Hehe, I remember Florence tit fell out and seeing Alex Turner in a leather jacket and his brown hair blowing on stage. THAT is an unforgettable memory. I only went there because of (not surprisingly enough) Arctic Monkeys, but I did see Glasvegas and Florence + the Machine too. But this year, I hope the festival is good like last year or even better. Ohboy ohboy, i can’t wait!

2010-05-27T18:48:00.002+02:00

levi's shorts and h&m tee

I didn’t wear this outfit to school today. Pretty much ‘cause we were out hiking today and white doesn’t quite work in the woods. It was actually very fun to go hiking with my class. We were wandering around the seaside called Nevlunghavn.

After walking few kilometers, we ended up at Mølen, where it’s a lot of stones after the ice age. I really regret that I didn’t bring the camera with me, ‘cause the place was truly beautiful. Even though, the place was full of rocks. Sometimes, I feel like a tourist in my hometown. I always discover something new about my hometown, after living here since I was born! Oh boy, I need to get out more.

let's get lost in oslo

2010-05-23T19:53:00.008+02:00

f21 high waisted shorts, h&m sheer top, bikbok shirt, and borrowed bianco canvas

Right after the class trip on Friday, I went straight to Oslo to visit my dearest sister. And every day now, have been beautiful weather accept for little rain in the morning. We have barbequed, ate a lot ice cream and enjoyed our sister moments. Since today was a gorgeous day, we decided to walk around the streets nearby the apartment to my sister. We ended up with walking to the river. Ah, what a gorgeous place to spend a sunny day on! I’m not very, very fond of Oslo, but when you get out of the city and to the “smaller” places like Nydalen, where my sister lives, you will fall in love right away for sure.

It was a lot of people nearby the river, busy with eating ice cream and talking to people. While we were busy with taking pictures of each other and talking. While we were sitting on one of the benches there, I saw one the world’s cuties dog ever! Omg, it was so adorable.

Do you guys remember the Steve Madden gladiator shoes I got from the states? Well, I have a BIG graze between my toe and the big toe. Since I didn’t brought any other shoes with me, I have to borrow shoes from my sister but that’s ok!

i love you, siss

i love my class

2010-05-21T21:33:00.019+02:00

Today, my class was supposed to participate the activity day we have once in a year, but we decided to skip the activity day and do something fun instead. After briefing about what we were going to do, we all decided to a beach near school, called Gon. We did this of course with permission of our teachers and they were with us. From 9 o’clock to 1 pm, we had Barbequed, played volleyball, and we sat on the grass and enjoyed the heat. I have never laughed so much during a volleyball match before. My wrist is still swollen and red after the game, but it’s definitely worth it. Talking about volleyball, I don’t know who was the winning team. LOL. oh, i also took my first bath of the year in the sea! It was too cold for me, in other words, it was bloody cold! I think im going to wait few weeks to next bath...

half of the class

The thought of that the class is going to split after summer, is a sad thought. Very sad. ‘Cause I have never enjoyed so much with a class. There is something with the atmosphere in this class that makes me comfortable and happy. It never passes a school day, where I’m not laughing or smiling. I’m really going to miss my class. I love my class. The best class ever.

lemonricotta pancakes with strawberries

2010-05-18T17:44:00.003+02:00

On Saturday I made these delicious lemon ricotta pancakes with strawberries on top as breakfast to my sister. I wanted to make something special to my sister, so I woke a little bit earlier and made pancakes! It’s very rare that I make pancakes, especially as breakfast, ‘cause in Norway it’s not usual to eat pancakes as breakfast but more as dinner. But I would not protest if it could be more common to eat as breakfast, though! Actually, this was the first time I made ricottapancakes and I didn’t burn them! They were so fluffy and so yummy. They looked so perfect on the plate and so adorable, that I didn’t want to eat them. But still, they went down in my tummy.

new shoes

2010-05-16T13:58:00.015+02:00

A late post about the things i got from my mother when she was in the states early April. These adorable shoes are among the things i got from mama. My mama found the “kasidy” from Steve Madden I have been drooling lately and black converse shoes. Yes, I couldn’t stop myself to ask mama to buy another converse to me. Converse is the almost only thing I wear these days,’ cause I love converse and quite addicted. A little bit weird, but hey, women wear high heels, while I wear converse.

by the seaside

2010-05-14T18:31:00.009+02:00

Every year it’s a fair in my hometown before 17.May. This year they located by the seaside, which is a terrific place ‘cause the view from there is breath taking. Two of my closest friends, Linh and Helene went there to spend some time together before Linh travels to Riga, the lucky bastard. Before entering the fair, we met some people from school and we joined them to play volleyball. Ehm, the game went a little bit bad because Linh and I couldn’t stop laughing and we joked all time. But luckily I wasn’t the person, who made the ball roll down to the water. but i must say, i fell love with the seaside. i will certaintly spend more time there in the summer.

I didn’t take any ride, though. Try to save the roll coaster feelings to 17. May instead, but I did bought candy floss like I usually do when I go to fairs. I never get tired of getting sugar overdose. Oh, what a happy feeling. and yes, i use glasses and i hate it.

starlight

2010-05-12T22:12:00.018+02:00

Starlight
I will be chasing your starlight
Until the end of my life
I dont know if
it’s worth it anymore

This song has been stuck in my head all day. Ah, I love to hear Matthew Bellamy voice over and over again (sorry, alex turner!). I could hear his voice to the endless time. Nothing special has happen since Monday. Wait a minute, today we got to know who came up in written exam and I didn’t come up! Neither did any of my classmates and the rest of study specialized classes or “studiespesialiserende” in Norwegian. I didn’t quite found the right word for it. It is so relief the thought of to not have a written exam ‘ cause if I came up I could come up in Math and I HATE math. So I cross my fingers that I will come up in oral exam and hopefully in English. I double cross my fingers for that.

Now I just want to enjoy Matt Bellamy's voice and the rest of the week ‘cause i have day off to Thuesday and on Monday its 17.mai. If you don’t know what 17.mai is, it’s the Norwegian national day. It’s almost like 4th July, just more joy in my opinion.

where's my miu miu?

2010-05-10T15:07:00.012+02:00

nike sweater, h&m sheer top, h&m divided blazer and converse

The outfit is from Saturday, when I was going to visit my childhood friend, Diem Huong, who lives in Sandefjord. When I was in Sandefjord I was searching after a top from Gina Tricot, with bird print similar from Miu Miu spring collection 2010, but it broke my heart when I saw it was sold out. Oh, I really hope they have in their store in Oslo. If not, I have really good excuse to buy the dress from Zara with the cat print.I bet that you have seen it on many european blogger if you know which dressi'm talking about. No wonder, it’s so cute and not expensive either. I Hope.

h&m faux leather jacket, only trousers, f21oversized tee, glitter necklaces + sunglasses and primark canvas shoes

See, just for once I didn’t wear converse. It’s little bit hard when over 50% of your shoe collection consists of converse. I need some variation next time I buy shoes.LOL. In one of lessons on Wednesday, Linh started to babble about eating baked potato and every time I hear conversations about food, I get the thought stuck in my head for hours and make me whining after whatever food, which is one of my bad habits. Can you guess what I did in my long school break the next day? Eating baked potato with Linh. Congrats. Anyway, I did manage to take outfitpics in a small park near the old school, though.

The baked potato was yummy! Ah, it has been a while time since I ate baked potato and rare. This time I had corn with ham and cheese and a lot of sour cream while Linh had corn and chicken with sour cream. This will not be the last time, i'm going to return for sure ! Update: thank you linh, for being my saving angel; ) u rock on taking pics

forever 21 maxi dress and bikbok shirt

After a tip from Lena, I threw the two maxi dresses in the washing machine in hope that the dresses would shrink. After few hours with patient and in excitement, the dresses had successfully shrunk! Now, I don’t need to sew at all. So if you have a long dress and you are too short, throw it in a washing machine and it will fit you perfectly. To celebrate the dresses shrunk, I wore my maxi dress on Saturday while wander around the house barefoot. I hadn’t have time to post it before now. Whops my bad, have been a little bit lazy with blogging.

Suddenly, while I had lessons today, it started to snow! In freaking May! Wow, and I thought snow in April was weird. Living in Norway with Scandinavian weather confuses me sometimes and makes me want to escape to sunny california. But now I have to end my daydreaming and return to my reading lessons because I have two tests tomorrow. Oh, this must be my lucky day.

If you have read the blog since last Friday, you may know that I was in Oslo to visit my fav and my only sister last weekend. Every time I go to her bathroom, I admire her small collection of chanel nail polishes. But it was one particular colour, which caught my eyes, the liliac sky. Purple and a small dash of glitter, do I need to say more? After few minutes of desperately begging and whining, I got to paint my nails with heaven. Trust me, it’s a miracle that I even got to touch them. She is very protected when it comes to her nail polishes.

My sister got kind of addiction when it comes to Chanel nailpolish and buys every moment she has the opportunity. atm she is dying to find the mintgreen color, which came out in a limited edition a while ago. Even though I told her over dozens of times that she can buy essie or opi with the same color, but no, she want it in a chanel jar of course. To be honest, I'm not very fond of chanel polish, don’t get me wrong I love chanel. It’s just they have a habit to peel off only after three days and If I spend $19 / 210 KR each, I want to have something that last a little bit longer + With my budget I have to live with cheaper nail polishes, but still I want them all so badly!

My mom has been in sunny California and since I couldn’t join the trip because of school, she brought home with a bag full with clothes from one of my favs stores, F21! To be honest, I sent her away with a paper full with pics of the things I wanted from the store or told differently, she became my personal shopper in the us. lol.

Among the stuff in the bag, I got two maxi dresses in black and grey. I have drooled on them since I first noticed them on F21 homepage. I love maxi dresses but I noticed after trying them on that I need to sew a little bit because it is too long on me. Now I just have to wait to weather get warmer and sunnier. Ah, can’t wait! I will show the rest of the stuff I got from the states later!
