Fake Perfection

Moving

2009-12-20T17:48:00.002+01:00

Hmm...I spontantly figured that I should move to wordpress... I happen to be a very restless person you see. I'm never gonna get the chance to make a "the blog is 1 year today" - post.. Haha, anyroad, this is where you'll find me in the future: www.fakeperfectionn.wordpress.com www.fakeperfectionn.wordpress.com www.fakeperfectionn.wordpress.com www.fakeperfectionn.wordpress.com www.fakeperfectionn.wordpress.com

See you over at wordpress (I hope)!

Holiday

2009-12-18T18:19:00.005+01:00

Finally it's christmas break! I'm so relieved that the first half of this school year is done. I'm not a huge fan of school... BUT, now I have more than two weeks with eating, sleeping, shopping and loads of fun ahead of me! And as you see, we have snow...so this is just perfect! Hope you'll be enjoying it as much as I will :)! Went shopping today after school, and bought some things for ME! Haha, it's been too long since I bought shoes! So it felt really good to walk in and try on a few pairs without constantly telling myself I'm just looking, I'm just looking... I'll show you the shoes later, but now I'm getting ready for some fun with my friends. See ya. This simply must be my most flattering picture everrrr.. Wearing leather jacket from Vero Moda, old scarf borrowed from mom, vintage gloves and purse,(comfy!!) pants from Cubus, boots from Skoringen, random grey tank top(...)

Not even close

2009-12-05T20:31:00.005+01:00

Today I went to town with my friend Isabelle. I've really missed our shopping trips and it was very nice :) I got to buy some more christmas presents, and I'm actually done soon!

Today I wore a completetly black outfit. I love black outfits, but I almost never wear them anymore...dunno why really :P Anyway, I was inspired by this picture: The gorgeous model Diana Farkhullina with curly hair, pale perfect skin, perfectly shaped eyebrows, and red lips. I could only dream about even being close to look like that face... But here's how I looked today: Wearing black scarf borrowed from my mom, jacket from Pieces, panty hose from Pierre Robert, boots from Bullboxer (bought at DNA), purse and shorts from KappAhl.

Lily Cole

2009-12-04T20:46:00.003+01:00

I've allways been quite facinated with red hair, and Lily Cole look so amazing. Almost like a porselaine doll with the hair I allways wanted... Enjoy the photos and have a great weekend!

Rediscovered

2009-12-01T10:01:00.004+01:00

I know this isn't something new, and you've all seen them before, but as I was waching some old pictures in my inspiration file, I found these. Pictures of the light blue atacome wedges from Ance... And it's like I've rediscovered them! They look so good, better than I remeber. If it wasn't for the fact that I was living in this lame little city I actually think I would've bought them.

Hanneli Mustaparta wearing them. yum :)

Peacock

2009-11-28T23:46:00.011+01:00

My best friend Ida turned 16 today (finally, haha) and threw a sweet 16 pary where everybody dressed up as whatever they wanted. We had a great night, feels like I've been laughing for hours..! I dressed up as a peacock btw. Dunno how I got that idea though. But here you see how it turned out.

(crappy quality, I know...) (This picture I took after the party, so it's not looking that good, but you get the picture :P) Wearing skirt and bag from Gina Tricot, shoes from Bullboxer bought at DNA, random turquoise top, cardigan from Cubus, old peacock-feather earrings from HM (I think), the hairband's just made out of a picture I printed out from internet and taped it on an old hairband.

RIP

2009-11-25T19:07:00.005+01:00

This is so sad. Daul Kim, the Korean 20-year old model commited suicide a few days ago. She had such a great face, she never looked the same in any pictures. She'll be missed. Rest in peace.

Empire state of mind

2009-11-25T14:05:00.002+01:00

This is so my song. I am going to live in New York when I get older. Definately.

New Moon

2009-11-20T22:41:00.005+01:00

I just came home from seeing New Moon. Every single scene was perfect. I have no words for this. Wearing jacket from Vero Moda, skirt from Gina Tricot, scarf and fake diamond ring from HM, hand jewlery made my me, bag borrowed from my sister, cardigan borrowed from my mom, Pierre Robert panty hose, stilettoes from Go Jane.com

Sundays

2009-11-15T17:19:00.008+01:00

When I was little, I used to hate Sundays because all the stores were closed, my parents wanted me to stay home and I had to go to bed early. But as I got older I begun to love Sundays. Of course it's sad when it's a whole week til next Saturday and I know I have to go school and work on Monday. But if I can forget that and just enjoy my last day of the weekend, it's wonderful. I can stay in all day reading books and magazines, watching tv and old movies, listen to music, bake brownies, visit my grandparents +++ And now when it's Christmas soon (yes, soon) I spent my day doing some christmas present shopping on the internet, making cards, and writing lists of what people want for Christmas. I love lists. It's weird, but I do. And I watched The Polar Express with my sisters. Such a cute movie! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW: Here is some of the inspiration I've picked up lately. Since I look like crap these days there's no point in posting any outfits of my own... isabel marant coat

Bad face day

2009-11-12T15:19:00.004+01:00

I'm having a bad face day.

Wearing blue dress I don't remember where from, scarf from Cubus, vest from Only and old leather gloves... This is not a very exciting outfit, but neither was this day, soooo... Hope you had more fun than me :P!

A head filled with cotton

2009-11-10T09:29:00.004+01:00

You know what I did this weekend? I stayed inside reading. Yes I know, saturdays are made for going out, clubbing, see a movie, visit a restaurant or whatever, but aside from a short visit to the cinema watching A Christmas Carol, I stayed in. And what I read was Eclipse, the third book in the twilight series... I stayed up all night sunday finishing it, and now my head feels like someone filled it with cotton. What is with those books? They're in a strange way axhausting me. All that love... I makes me wanna listen to beautiful music and go to sleep. I have to force myself to put them down when I realise I've forgotten to eat (and sometimes breathe). I don't know if any of you have read the books, but that last scene in eclipse when Jacob is laying in his bed and Bella is visiting, and they love each other and... and, GOD. I'm tearing up just by thinking of it... I think I need a couple of days to become myself again. In the meanwhile, here are some beautiful photos for you.

"omg! you totally belted it!"

2009-11-06T19:47:00.006+01:00

This is how I looked at school today. I've fallen back in love with the more grungy style, and it's so comfy too. I never bother dressing up as much as I really want to at when I go to school, but I don't want to wear hoodies and baggy pants either. So therefore this was perfect: a loose dress and warm wool panty hose.

Wearing dress from Cubus, vintage necklace from my grandmother, old random scarf and belt, blacelet I dont remember where from, and Pierre Robert wool panty hose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AND , it was actually snowing today! I was so happyyy! Wich is why I'm wearing a scarf around my head, my hair looks awful when it gets wet from rain or snow... Have a fabulous weekend :)!

Tatt2

2009-11-04T16:52:00.009+01:00

I'm crazy about tattoos. I just need to find out what I wanna have myself, and of course: I need bloody permission! Damn! I'm just going to nag on my mom about it every single day, and eventually she'll get tired of me, and I'll have it my way ;) Here are some of the pictures I ceep in my Tattoo-inspiration-file. The last picture is not something I want to have myself, but I admire people who dare getting body art like that! I looks beautiful.

I love feathers and the dandelion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's your opinion about tattoos? Got one yourself? Tell me about it! Does it hurt :P?

Halloween

2009-11-01T18:16:00.009+01:00

Went out with some friends yesterday on halloween! I love halloween, but I didn't dress up as anything though because we went to the city having fun!

Took a lot of pictures, but I dont' think I should post all of them :P But here are some: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karoline, Ida and me. Me and Ida I was happy :) I never got the chance to get proper outfit pictures, but I wore black panty hose from Pierre Robert, coat from Pieces, suede leather boots from DNA and sequined dress from Cubus. My halloween was great! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope you all had a funny/scary halloween!

Sushi virgin

2009-10-25T01:16:00.017+02:00

I stayed in my PJ intil about three today, then I fixed my hair, took on some make-up and got dressed. Because today I went to the restaurant Wok with a friend and ate sushi for the first time! I've allways wanted to taste sushi, so it was about time. I don't get why people are so negative about it? I guess they're just too afraid to try out something new... Too bad for them, because there's absoultely nothing grose about sushi. In fact, it tasted great :) If you're still a sushi virgin, order the one with salmon, it's absolutely the best! It's really getting cold outside so it was very inconvenient that I felt like wearing a little dress and a tube top, but then I figured; why not try out some layering? Strangely enough, I haven't tried it yet, and today I figured why: I don't have many clothes that looks good layered on top of each other. So I stole a blouse and a cardigan from my mom... So I didn't layer that much, but I really love it when people manage to mix colours and different material, it can look so good! This girl for example, is great at it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wearing: my mom's grey cardigan and vintage transparent blouse fron InWear, dress, tube top and shoes (with DIY chain) from H&M, old necklace (...), black ring from Glitter, velvet tights from Bik Bok and leather bag from Friis & Co. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q of the day: Are you a sushi virgin, or..? -IA

Matte

2009-10-21T12:30:00.003+02:00

I'm sorry that I'm not updating as much as I should, but I often get home late and then I have homework. So I get pretty tired and on top of it all, I'm not very inspired right now.

So today I took some time to look around on the internet, and read my fashion magazines that I buy in a hurry on my way to work, and never get to read. It feels good :) I need my doses of fashion during the week!

And while reading all those magazines, it keeps popping up thing I "have to buy"! And among them is some matte nail polish, but where can I find this? Anyone..? -IA

I think I'll call it a day.

2009-10-17T00:10:00.014+02:00

No school today so then I went shopping with my girls! We also visited the cutest cafè ever, Cafeè Wictor. Yummy food ^^ Not many pictures today, I guess that's what happens when you have such a nice time.

we ate cake. Isabelle and myself having lunch. Helene and Isabelle. Some things I bought: I bought shoes , surprise! not. Knee-high suede leather heels..yum. The fabrick on theese are really stretchy and tight so they fit perfectly on my legs. Btw: the picture is awful, my camera is having a bad day today.. Nope, still not tired of the Balmain-inspired look! Maybe I'll wear it at the christmas prom..? But...why do I allways end up with clothes like this, when what i really need is a pair of neutral jeans, and a knitted jacket without any crazy details?? Am I the only one with this "problem"? Strangely enough, I didn't own a black leather jacket, until today! I had one brown and one green, but no black one. I was really looking for one with the biker-look, but this was good enough, and besides...it's getting colder every day, so it'll not be used that much anyway. I also bought a scarf, a skirt, leg warmers... but you'll se it all as I use it. After shopping we decided to go to the swimming pool, so therefore, no outfit pictures today, sadly.. But at least I can show you the shoes I wore. I bought them this summer, but they were terrible on my feet without socks or stockings or something. So I've been saving them for fall. I really love them<3! Hope you're having a nice weekend! I'm exhausted after six hours with shopping, one hour in the swimming pool, so I'll just call it a day. -IA

Lace

2009-10-13T16:16:00.005+02:00

New laced dress from Sisters Point! I just need the perfect occasion to wear it...

Because

2009-10-11T20:09:00.008+02:00

I've not been a very good blogger lately. Sorry about that. I've got a lot school work and a job that takes a lot of my time.. I'll try to be better :) Wearing: sweather from Gina Tricot, necklace with green stone is vintage from my grandmother, chain bought at Biltema (norwegian "shopping center" with tools, bikes, things for your car and boat, kitchen tools.. ++), jeans bought at Cubus. -IA

Perfect people

2009-10-07T08:50:00.004+02:00

Freida Pinto, Alexa Chung and Mary Kate (and..?) on a fashion show.

The best thing about this picture is Mary Kate's hair! I have to try something like that once. -IA

Leave out all the rest

2009-10-04T18:38:00.006+02:00

Today I went to the movies with my mom! We saw Julie & Julia, a really funny feel-good movie.

Finally it was cold enough to wear my new coat I bought some weeks ago, yay. I love fall!

..and I bought Elle :)

Wearing: Coat from ICHI (bought at BYoung), black pantyhose form Pierre Robert Wool Collection, grey leggings from H&M, black pumps from Coop Obs.

(Awful pictures, I know...)

Hello Beautiful

2009-10-03T15:19:00.005+02:00

Today is one of those days when I'm feeling restless, but there's nothing to do. It's the last saturday of my autumn-break so I feel like I almost have to do something...

I've been on weheartit.com for like an hour just looking at pictures, that's what I do when I'm bored. There's really a lot of great inspiration to get there.

I adore Gemma Ward's face. She's just simply beautiful, and this is one of the prettiest photos I've ever seen of her. I love simple black and white portraits.

-IA

Braid

2009-10-01T23:30:00.006+02:00

There is something about Anna Selezneva's face that facinates me.. I think it must be her beautiful cheek bones; I've allways wanted cheek bones like that myself. It really gives an interesting edge to your face!

I completely fell in love with the long, loose, sexy braids you see at Alexander Wang this fall.

I've actually been using this look alot this summer, so it suits me perfectly that it's now trendy ;)

All the models in the show had to use extensions though, so long hair is a must, but I think it'll just work with my length. yay.

And it's not hard to pull off either! You wash your hair, and blow dry it (turn your head upside-down while blow drying it on the roots) with some volumizing mousse in it. Apply a little hair spary and/or salt water spray to get some texture. Especially if your hair is very thin or staright.

Then side part your hair and pull all your hair over to one side. The loosely braid it.

Easy, huh?

DIY

2009-09-25T13:39:00.005+02:00

Yesterday I was sick and couldn't sleep, so then I made myself a hand chain like I mentioned earlier I wanted to:

It turned out pretty nice, don't you think?

-IA

UPDATE: If any of you would be interested in bying a hand chain like this, you can e-mail me on this adress: ing_ha_ri@yahoo.no , or leave a comment with the link to your blog or your own e- mail, so I can tell you what I need to know. I'm not sure what the price will be, but I'll figure it out ;) I won't be very expensive anyway. And you can sure ask questions without feeling you have to buy anything.

Shipping to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland would of course be the easiest, but I'll se what I can do ;)

Have a nice weekend!

Twiggy

2009-09-22T14:23:00.005+02:00

I'm a little late with this post. I were supposed to post it the 19th of september because that day, Twiggy turned 60! Here are some of the pictures she became famous with back in the 60's:

Happy birthday!

Velvet

2009-09-19T23:40:00.003+02:00

Today I went to town with my mom and my little sister. Got myself a new coat that I'll show you as soon as it get colder so I can wear it (I'm very tipical Norwegian in that way, I love snow!!)

And a couple of other make-up products, nothing of interest.

But it was very nice! And I ate the best carrot cake (?) with glaze everrrrr. Yum!

Anyway, I haven't been posting outfit-pictures in a while because I've been very busy with school and work and I haven't really been inspired at all.

But here you get some:

I have beautiful crippled fingers.

..just a normal afternoon hanging out..on the ground..

Wearing: T-shirt from the Hove music fectival, "Doc Martens" from HM with DIY-chain, DIY-shorts made out of old jeans, velvet tights from Bik Bok and faux leather clutch from Cubus.

I'm sleeping at Isabelle's tonight, so gotta go!

Hope you're having a nice weekend too!

Pink light filled the air

2009-09-17T15:07:00.009+02:00

When I woke up early this morning, my room was filled with this beautiful pink light, so I went to the door and out on the porch and saw this beautiful sky. The pink light filled the air and it was so beautiful. I'm happy I got a few shots, because after five minutes it was all gone and the air was not pink any more.

Of course it was much more beautiful if you were actually there, but still, I'll show it to you.

I felt really lucky to see this.

So since I've aldready posted not-fashionable photos I'll just add a few more photos that I like.

I'm afraid I don't know any sources, so please tell me if you know!

Madonna

Inspiration of the day: Madonna in the 80's. I wanna try out her look one day.

Happy Birthay!

2009-09-13T01:42:00.007+02:00

I just came home from my friend Hanne's birthday! We had a really nice time eating taco and brownies, chatting, listening to music, and then we actually wached Hannah Montana The Movie, haha. I can't help it but the whole Disney Channel thing is not for me :P

Anyroad..here are some pictures from our night:

Tiril and nerdy Anja.

Ida and Hanne.

Isabelle: "Look at me, I'm a model"

Me and Ida: "Smiiiileeeeeee"

Anja, Ida, Hanne.

Pictures in the mirror will allways be cooool.

Isabelle: "We can't help that we're so fotogenic!"

(for you who doesn't know us, that's a joke :P)

Naughty teacher.

Who's tall now, huh? HUH?

Just dancing a little,and I look perfectly normal.

Body chain

2009-09-09T10:37:00.005+02:00

I was just about to write a post about a pair of Givenchy shoes that I love, but then I realized it was time for me to show you sometning else than just shoes :P!

So I looked a little in my inspiration-file and found this picture. I think this body chain around her tanned legs is really hot! The plan was to make one like that this summer, but I totally forgot about it until now, sadly a little too late.

I've had an obsession for body chains lately, especial the ones you can have on your hands that goes around two or three of you fingers..oh I want one of those!

Anyway, enjoy the picture ;)

I can't remember the source, so please tell me if you know!

What's your opinion about body chains?

-IA

The smell of new shoes..

2009-09-06T13:52:00.004+02:00

..is filling my room these days. Yupp, I just recieved another pair of beautiful babies for GoJane.com!

Studded suede leather boots.. I love their soft grey colour. I think it would have been too much if they were black..

I will use them with white pants, an oversized tweed-jacket and a big soft scarf.

This jacket from Bik Bok would be just perfect!

-IA

Feet Orgazm.

2009-09-02T21:22:00.008+02:00

I've now had two exhausting weeks of school, homework, work and I've also been on this course to learn how to drive a scooter (I had my first scary driving lesson today!).

So when my mom picked up my new purchases from Go Jane I was really happy!

You might remeber that I posted pictures of the ones with leopard-print and zebra-print when writing that I had ordered them a while ago. Well I recieved them but had so send them back because they were too small (it was a confusing prosess to get them back to USA from Norway, I tell you!) But finally they're here:

I'll paint my toe nails red when I'm going to wear these.

I'm in love with zebra print!

These are perfect for this fall/winter! They look really good, but at the same time I can wear them at school without feeling too over- dressed.

All shoes from GoJane.com!

I reccomend you to take a look at their page, the shoes are really cheap and they are very helpful!

Have you found your perfect pair of shoes for fall yet?

Sunday = SSB-time!

2009-08-30T15:09:00.009+02:00

If you're a Sex and The City-fan like I am, you probably know what SSB stands for. If not, I can tell you that it's an expression made by Carrie Bradshaw in SATC and means Secret Single Behaviors. Secret Single Behaviors are the things you do when you're alone and you absolutely does not want a boy/boyfriend to see or know about.

Carries SSB was eating a stack of saltines with grape jelly while reading fashion magazines standing up in the kitchen. Miranda liked to put vaselin on her hands, then put on gloves and watch tv. Charlotte could sit by a mirror and study her pores for hours every night. Of course Samantha didn'd have any...

So today I got to think about my own SSB, because it's sunday and definately the day I use to catch up on the things I do only for myself, that I never get do do during the week.

So here are some of my SSBs:

-I wear my pyjamas all day if I can.

-I walk around in high heels, because they make me feel so good.

-I put oil in my hair and a towl around at and lets it stay like that for hours.

-I mix different kinds of soda in a cup and drink it while reading fashion magazines.

-I watch silly Tv like Paris Hilton's new BBF just to make myself laugh.

-I colour my eyebrows (definately not something that looks very pretty!)

-I have a cigarette while eating a chocolate called smash.

-I eat at least one smash almost every day.

-I make my bed and then trow myself in it and just lay there with my eyes closed listening to reggea. It makes me happy.

-I wash my hair and then braid it in four really tight braids while it's still wet, to make it curly.

-I watch one episode of Sex and The City on my computer while laying in my bed before going to sleep.

-I take a foot bath, and put on foot lotion that smells like lavender.

So..What's your Secret Single Behavior?

Elle Uk

2009-08-27T08:06:00.011+02:00

Lindsay Lohan in Elle Uk this month.

I love this photoshoot so I just had to show it you.

Enjoy!

Her hair is amazing in this picture! And the boots from Isabel Marant.. You can see them in the side bar here on my blog under Current Shoes. They are sooo coooool!

Her eyebrows <3

I want her H-A-I-R!!

I used to not like Lindsay Lohan, but I'm starting to change my mind. At least I love her looks!

-IA

Update 30.august-09: Here's a video of the photoshoot I found at elleuk.com!

Jewlery around my neck, jewlery around my shoes.

2009-08-24T18:54:00.005+02:00

A few days ago I visited THIS blog and got inspired to do a simple little DIY project on my "Dr Martens" from H&M. Here you see the result:

Looks pretty nice, huh?

Strike!

2009-08-22T00:41:00.008+02:00

The first (scary) week of school is over and I could finally put on some clothes that made me fell a little more like me, and maybe stand out a little (at least the old ladies on the bus thought I stood out. Have they never seen a person wear a hat before??)... You know..I don't feel like wearing leather tights, studded sandals and a T-shirts full of holes quite yet.. I'm waiting until I can't hide my crazyness anymore.

So my friends and I went bowling, and I got my first strike ever today, and won the whole game! Sick.. I usually loose. Then we went for pizza and it was really nice! I love being with these people. They make me laugh so much my face is hurting <3

What I wore:

Beige/brown T-shirt from Cubus, black cardigan from H&M, black skirt and Alexander Wang -ispired bag from Gina Tricot, hat from Cubus Man, boots from Chilli, Skoringen.

Now I'm going to watch one (not more, I have to sleep) episode of Sex and The City, go to bed and get at least nine hours of sleep. Haleluja. I seriously need it.

Have a nice weekend ya'll!

Freshman

First day at a new school! I've got a lot of mixed emotions really..a little bit scared, a little bit excited but mostly happy that I'm not going back to my old school!

After school me and some friends went down to town just to hang out a little bit, buy some ice cream and have a good time in the sun.

Here are some pictures of us at a pizza restaurant:

Helene sweetie.

Me, Isabelle and Hanne, haha!

Isabelle's lovely tattoo.

Ida and me <3

Of course I had to spend my last money - wich I ment to buy school stuff for - on shoes!

Tadaaa:

A perfect pair of simple leather boots I can wear with both skirts, dresses and jeans!

And I wore my new jeans with zipper details today.

Flamingo obsession

2009-08-16T17:13:00.006+02:00

When I was younger I han an obsession with flamingoes! I used to draw "my own flamingo", called Miss Flamingo (extremely original, I know) on all my school-books, on my pencil house, on cards and invitations..everywhere! It was actually quite weird because I've never been a pink girl. I used to hate barbiedolls because they were allways dressed in pink and drove pink cars and had pink makeup and pink nailpolish and..well you get the picture. But still I had a huge facination for flamingoes.

And I started to think about this when I saw some pictures from Fam Irvoll's collection shown at Oslo Fashion Week this week. And this is what I found:

What's up with me and pink these days?! Yesterday I bought a raspberry red/dark pink cardigan, and today I write an entire post about a pink bird. And now I coloured the word pink pink. God.

Raspberry red

2009-08-15T21:15:00.007+02:00

Today I went shopping with Ida and Hanne and spent too much money. Again.

I didn't get a complete outfit picture, bur here's a little of it:

I love these tight. Reminds me of chanel : press here

Tights from Gina Tricot, "Dr Martens" from HM.

I actually managed to buy some nice basics I can wear at school and work. Here are some of the things I bought:

Oversized , see-through sweather from Gina Tricot.

Raspberry red cardigan from Gina Tricot. I needed some colour!

Bag/backpack from Gina Tricot.

It was quite hard to get a good picture of this, but I really love it! Looks a little like THIS actually. Looking forward to use it :)

I've been wanting a pair of shoes like these since last winter, and today I finally bought a pair.

Fringed boots from DNA.

Velvet tights from Bik Bok.

These were just some of the things I bought. So now I'm ready for a new and...good (??) year at secondary school. It's so weird. I'm back to school in two days!! Arrhhh.. I don't wanna...!

Wellwell, I'm not going to start complaining. YET.

Colourful

2009-08-13T00:03:00.012+02:00

I just came home from the best birthay party in a long time!

Unfortunately I couldn't find my camera, but hopefulle my friends got some good shots I can post later. It was a carneval and I dressed up as a gypsy! I love that they use so many colours and necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and other beatiful accessories! I'm a huge fan of black clothes and dark outfits, but a part of me is really facinated by both gypsy and hippie-culture.

Sorry for not-so-great pictures. I'm very tired..and it shows!

Gypsy and Cowgirl:

What did you dress up as the last time you were at a carneval?

-IA

Rawrrr..

2009-08-10T20:17:00.006+02:00

Today I went on a little shopping with some friends. I bought a new school bag, a new pair of jeans (I'll show them to you the next time I'll be wearing them) and some new stuff for my room. I'm soon going to redocorate it in a an african style. I'm really looking forward to it, my room is a total mess of differt things I've bought different places without really having a theme in mind. It's awful, haha :P

Here is my outfit:

wearing: white sweater, necklace from HM Accessories, Shoes from Converse, Tights from HM, DIY-shorts and bag from Fowadi.

It's very unlike me to not wear high heels when I go to town (I love my hight heels!), but today I actually had to wear flats because I hate it when my feet start hurting and it's so annoying to allways carry ballerina shoes in my bag. Cause when my friens and I go shopping we allways stay very loong :P

So do any of you know any tricks to make your feet hurt a little less when you're in heels?

And what do you think about animal-print?

Night, fever night, fever...

2009-08-05T20:43:00.008+02:00

I had to stay in all day bacause I've got a cold and a fever, wich was extremly booring because this was one of the first days with nice weather in a while now... So today I've been watching the whole Sex and The City season 2, drinking about 7 cups of tea, waching way too many episodes of The Simpsons, reading every single page of every sigle fashion magazine, and eating too much candy even though I can't taste a thing. A very giving day, I must say. NOT.

Elle Uk and Oslo Fashion Week. Nice to read about fashion in Norwegian for a change, haha.

Emma Watson is beautiful in these pictures, it was really nice to read a fashion article about her!I must say it's cind of strange to see the little nerdy Hermoine I'm used to, in Chanel and Roberto Cavalli, and not in jeans and a T-shirt. But se sure looks good!

Source: Elle Uk magazine, august.

I'm hoping to recover in a couple of days because by friend Isabelle just came home from a week in France today (lucky bastard!), so I'm hoping to meet up with her as soon as posible :)

Anyroad... Because I'm so restless after a day not doing anything I went upstairs to try on some clothes and experiment a little bit. So now I've got a little idea about what I can wear, if summer decides to stay a little longer. I always stress when I get ready so maybe I'll actually be on time next time I'm going out :P

But I'm not sure of course, that's the reason I'm posting it before I wear it.

Grey shorts from HM, and old pink tights that i cut into biker shorts.

So I wonder... Should I maybe destroy these shorts a little bit (the grey ones)? Make just a few worn holes maybe? What do you think?

AND

I'm going to a carneval pary next week and I have no idea what I can be. I've considered Marilyn Monroe.. but I don't know yet. I appreciate every suggestion ;)!

The Duchess.

2009-08-05T10:02:00.005+02:00

Yesterday I saw The Duchess, and it was a beautiful film! Keira Knightley looked stunning in the old fashioned dresses and hats... This movie made me love her even more! This is a movie full of drama, love and sad heart breaking events. I don't think I'm going to watch it again, because it's a very sad film in many ways, but I'm glad I've seen in because it's definatley a story worth seeing.

A little bit about The Duchess(from Wikipedia):

Georgiana (her name is pronounced "jor-JAI-na") was a celebrated beauty, fashion icon, and a socialite who gathered around her a large circle of literary and political figures—a salon. She was also an active political campaigner in an age when women's suffrage was still over a century away. Both the Spencers and the Cavendishes were Whigs. Georgiana campaigned for the Whigs—particularly for a distant cousin, Charles James Fox—at a time when the King (George III) and his Ministers had more direct influence over the House of Commons, principally through their power of patronage. During the 1784 general election, the Duchess was rumored to have traded kisses for votes in favour of Fox and was satirised by Thomas Rowlandson in his print "THE DEVONSHIRE, or Most Approved Method of Securing Votes". Famously, when she was stepping out of her carriage one day, an Irish dustman exclaimed: "Love and bless you, my lady, let me light my pipe in your eyes!”, a compliment which she often recalled whenever others complimented her by retorting, "After the dustman's compliment, all others are insipid.

About The Duchess the movie (from Wikipedia):

Set at the end of the eighteenth century, The Duchess is based on the life of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. While her beauty and charisma made her name, her extravagant tastes and appetite for gambling and love made her infamous. Married young to the older, distant Duke of Devonshire, who was blatantly unfaithful, Georgiana became a fashion icon, a doting mother, a shrewd political operator, intimate of ministers and princes, and darling of the common people. But at the core of the story is a desperate search for love. The film delves into Georgiana’s passionate and doomed affair with Earl Grey, the future Prime Minister, and the complex love triangle with her husband and her best friend, Lady Bess Foster. The film depicts Georgiana's tragic life story, with particular emphasis on her relationship with Charles Grey. At the start of the movie, the Duchess and her friends are betting on which of their young male friends will win a race. The young mens' names are put into a hat, and Georgiana picks Charles' name. When he wins the race, Georgiana is delighted, and he asks for his reward. She in turn asks him what he thinks it should be, and the moment is filled with unsaid passion. Just then, though, Georgiana is summoned by her mother, Lady Spencer, and Charles leaves, looking back every now and again.

(read more at wikipedia..)

So run to your nearest shop and buy youself a box of ice cream and then you buy The Duchess! Enjoy!

Or maybe you've seen it? What do you think?

Pictures from Stockholm!

2009-08-02T14:01:00.008+02:00

Yesterday I came home from two great days in Stockholm! The weather was really good and we walked around in the streets all day long. I actually got the feeling of being in London when I was there! It's filled with enourmous beautiful buildings, bridges, cafès, cute little buotiques... I enjoyed it really much, I'm actually considering moving there when I get older :)

Well, anyway, here are some of the pictures:

Gamla Stan (meaning Old City) in Stocholm.

I bought old fashioned candy in Skansen. This tasted like violet!

An extreme little shop called Rock Life or something.. They sold all cind of strange shoes, bags, dresses..

Hehe!

candycandy:)

Waiting for the ferry with new sunglasses!

We visited the cutest little cafè in Gamla Stan!

And I ate the best chocolate cake everrrrr!

Outfit the first day:

Ignore my face on this picture :P

I had to change into ballerina shoes because my feet were really hurting, but these were the shoes I was really wearing :P

The next day:

A very nice second hand shop! Here I bought myself a trench coat.

Lots of second hand shoes =)

I loved Monki! I could've been there for hours!

:D:D:D:D!!!

The best vintage shop!

Inside Beyond Retro! Walking in the hall down to the shop was like a mini museum from the 60's!

sequinssequinssequins<3!

I loved this denim blazer with diamonds and sequins, but sadly it was a little too big..

shoes!

A cute car :]

Gorgeous shoes at Zoe.. just a little bit expensive.

Gay Days in Stockholm! You saw more of these flags than the swedish flags :P And you could buy "happy socks" everywhere.

My sister and I in the underground.

:D:D:D:D!!

Reminds me of Chanel actually, beautiful!

And then we went to Top Shop!

I didn't buy anything there, but it was sure fun to take a look at all the beautiful clothes.

A gorgeous suede biker jacket.

I lovelove these!

shooooooesssss

The castle! It was beautiful there!

Me outside the castle.

London-feeling. Here you can see the rainbow-flags I mentioned earlier.

Italiano for dinner. Yummi!

Then we visited a little chokolate and coffee shop :)

I wish I could describe the smell in this shop, it was heaven!

Orangenougat.. Delicious <3

Ben & Jerry's :D

Then we went for ice cream. I had raspberry and pear =)

My sisters and I =)

Singing bears and I at the supermarket :P

On our way back to the hotel :P

"Awwwww, my arms are hurting!" haha!

Outfit:

That was just some of the pictures I took in Stockholm and here you can see what I bought:

Bag from Fowadi.

They had one pair left in my size :D Stilettoes from Incognito bought at Dezzo.

Trench coat bought second hand at Emmaus.

Off to Sweeden!

2009-07-28T17:58:00.004+02:00

Tomorrow I'm off to Sweeden! Even though it's not like a four-week vacation at a Greek island, I'm really looking forward to it! It's gonna be fun visiting a big city, we're going to Stockholm you see. And I'm a small-town-girl sooo..it's going to be fun visiting some new stores and go shopping in new streets ;)

In Costume, a norwegian fashion magazine, they wrote about good places to visit in Scandinavia, so I got a lot of tips from there!

Here's a couple of them:

I'm really looking forward to visit Beyond Retro! It's the best vintage store in Sweeden and they get really many new pieces every week :)!

I'm definately going to MRS H! I'm probaply, or should I say hopefully (my visa can't take it), not going to buy anything there..

This is the only store in Stockholm where you can buy really big fashion labels like Balmain, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang and Hervè Lèger! They also have Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sonia by Sonia Rykiel ++.. At least I have to take a look :)

And now I'm actually done packing!

I'm a very bad "packer", I allways take with me faaaar too many things, and I'm afraid I cind of did that again.. It's just that I'm never sure what I want to wear one day. I's better to have a lot to choose from, than have to wear the same t-shirt every day, right :)?

Is it normal to decide taking five different purses with me, when I'm only staying for three days??

Because I just did..

So there won't be any blogging until Sunday, because we're going to come home late Saturday night, and I won't bother bringing my computer.

Are you going on any vacation this year? And if you are, where are you going?

Talk later,

IA!

Stella McCartney Fall 09

2009-07-26T15:21:00.005+02:00

I simply love Stella McCartney's fall-collection this year!

It's full of edgy, chic and glamorous designs. There's lots of grey, silver (,some gold,) and black, with a few coloured pieces,like for example the red blazer or the purple dresses.

My favourite part is the thigh-high stiletto boots (wich we know is going to be a huge trend!) combined with long, sexy blazers, no jewlery, earrings or makeup, and naturally styled hair: wich I totally love. The boots gets all the attention they deserve!

Look at those boots! These are absolutely going to be one of my "fashion-crushes" this fall!

Lovely boyfriend blazers..

...and a few more shots from the collection:

I love the leather jacket over the metallic-purple dress!

Grey thigh-high boots <3

Black leather boots combined with a soft sweather,perfect for cold nights.

What do you think about Stella McCartney's fall-collection?

Canal Street 2009!

2009-07-24T12:54:00.007+02:00

Yesterday I went to the music festival Canal Street to see Nora Noor (No) and Timbuktu (Se) play! I think it must be the best concert I've been to ever! They are both people who are perfect for stage performarances, they are first of all really good musicians and they have also a way to connect with the audience. They make jokes and laugh and look like they are having a good time up there! Timbuktu for example was jumping around like a total maniac, and Nora has such a carisma!

Here are some pictures from this awesome night:

Nora Noor:

She took of her shoes and ran around barefoot, and before she left the stage she picked them up and startet clapping with them. She's so cute!

Timbuktu:

In a way, he reminds me of a little clown :P

I'm tying to upload a couple of movies I made during the concerts, but It's working really slow right now so I'll try again tomorrow ;)

Outfit:

wearing: green hat from HM man (last year), random black sweather, green leather jacket from Bik Bok, grey stockings from Cubus, brown All Star Converse shoes, brown leather bag with studs and belt from HM, and Alexander Wang-inspired DIY-shorts made by me. See tutorial HERE.

Have you been or are you going to any festivals this year?

A Nice Day

2009-07-21T22:52:00.009+02:00

This was a really nice day! My friend Hanne and I went to town today and met up with some girlfriends! We sat in the sun outside the cofee bar where we shared some cigarettes, drank cocoa, ice cofee, slush and ate cookies :) We're really enjoying our summer holiday!

I actually managed to not by any shoes, or clothes or dresses or anything but the things I ordered when we ate! (Proud)

Here are some pictures of our day:

Hanne drinking slush, Isabelle drinking cocoa and Anja drinking coffee.

Enjoying a cigarette in the sun.

Ida sweetie.

Isabelle with a cigarette and ice cream that matched her dress :)!

Every year I get surprised by how beautiful my town is when summer comes!

Look at that blue sky and all the boats :)

Me sitting on the quay.

I loved that wodden sail boat! Imagine a handsome sailor standing at the steering wheel while I sit in a beach chair reading fashion magazines and eating water melon ... That would be nice, huh? :)

..and this is my perfectly normal friend Anja..

And here is my outfit:

Wearing: My mom's vintage suede blazer, dark blue dress from Cubus, ballerina shoes from H&M and black leather bag from Friis & Co.

NOW I'm going to get my Ben & Jerry's ice cream from the freezer and read Vogue on the sofa =)

I actually bought my first Vogue ever today! I always read alot of fashion magazines like Costume, Elle, Harper's Bazaar (++) but I've actually never bought Vogue! Craazzyyy...

Do you read Vogue or any other fashion magazines??

Geek

2009-07-18T00:27:00.010+02:00

Today I did something I've been waiting for a looong time!

I went to the Harry Potter and the Half blood prince -premiere! I'm such a geek when it comes to Harry Potter. My stomach was actually hurting before I went to the movies, I've been looking forward to this since I walked out of the cinema last year after seeing Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix! And of course it was magic :) I have of course read all the books and I think they did an excellent job with the movie! It's a tough book to make a film out of! It was funny (!), sad, dramatic, exciting, romantic.. The fine thing about the Harry Potter movies/books is that despite the fact that the boys and the girls are wizards and witches, they still seem like ordinary teenagers! For example Ron I can really relate to because we are both incredibly afraid of spiders! Wich is not so convenient for a wizard.. :P

Of course I dressed up a little bit, but since I was going to sit down for almost three hours I still wore sometiong comfortable. Except from the shoes though... The secret is to carry soft warm socks in your handbag and put them on when the lights go down ;)

Grey dress, Cubus. Black oversized blazer, Gina Tricot. Black leather bag, Friis & Co. Balmain-inspired shoes, Blink (Skoringen).

New favourite snack: Mini Oreo's

Have you seen this movie or are you planning to?

Are you a Harry Potter nerd like me?

Balenciaga VS DinSKo

2009-07-05T23:54:00.006+02:00

Jeg digger det når vanlige kjedebutikker lager gode etterlinkinger av dyre designerkreasjoner!

Som for eksempel her som dere ser Balenciagas populære støveletter, og under er de laget mindre dramatisk og skal komme i DinSko butikker til høsten!

source: www.prettytoughchic.tumblr.com

source: www.elenita.no

Gjett om jeg skal ha de!

Forresten lurer jeg på et par ting:

1. Er det noen som vet helt sikkert om det ikke kommer Sex and the City sesong 7?? Er det helt sikkert av sesong 6 var den siste? (Jeg håper ikke det!)

2. Jeg har hørt noen rykter om at det kommer Top Shop butikk i Norge, vet noen om det stemmer??

Ha en fortsatt fin sommer!

TRANSLATION:

I love it when normal shops nearby where I live makes good "kopies" of expensive desiger creations, so I can look fashionable without needing to work for three monts to afford a coupple of shoes! DinSko in Norway will be selling their own version of the popular Balenciaga shoes this fall!

I have a question by the way:

Do any of you know anything about a Sex and the City season 7?? Is it absolutely certain that season 6 was the last one?

(I hope not!)

Ceep enjoying your summer!

Hallopådo.

Får bare begynne med å beklage for lite blogging i det siste. Grunnen var at dataen plutselig bestemte seg for å få en sprekk i skjermen uten noen spesiell grunn, og deretter bli helt mørk så jeg måtte myse som en svaksyns 80-åring for å kunne se noen ting. Fikk endelig overtalt pappa til å ta jobb-dataen hjem så da blir det litt blogging likevell ;)

På tirsdag den 30.juni var jeg i 60-talls bursdag!

Den var en venninne av meg, Tiril, som feiret bursdagen sin på en litt annerledes måte, noe som passet meg veldig fint ettersom jeg elsker 60-tallsmoten!

Først tenkte jeg litt på å være hippie, for som dere sikkert vet så digger jeg hippietiden, klærne, alt (minus det at mange var ruset store deler av tiden da :P).

Men jeg har lenge prøvd å finne en anledning til å bruke den hvite rødprikkete kjolen over her. Den var faktisk min bestemor sin på slutten av 60-tallet/begynnelsen av 70-tallet, så hvilken anledning kunne vell passet bedre enn denne?

Synes stilen er veldig søt, spesielt det høye håret og den røde lebestiften. Jeg synes jo som sagt 60-talls moten var veldig fin, men det er jo likevell ikke helt meg men så veldig jentete outfits, om jeg kan kalle det det.. Men det var veldig gøy å prøve.

Jeg fikk dessverre ikke tatt noe serlig med bilder siden kameraet mitt gikk tom for strøm,men outfitbilder ble det i alle fall ;)

Outfit:

My grandmoter's dress from the 60's.

Red pumps from "Sparkjøp".

Bag from Gina Tricot.

Bracelet form CMYK.

Pearls from Glitter.

TRANSLATION:

I went to a 60's party last week so then a finally got a chance to wear my grandmother's old dress from the 60's! It was really nice and we had a great time =)

Do you like the 60's fashion?

Liker du 60-tallsmoten?

An old lady's bike.

2009-06-26T12:25:00.005+02:00

For det første elsker jeg dette bildet!

Den enkle stilen til MK med gladiatorsandaler, en lett kjole, lange smykker og ikke minst lennon-brillene er en stil jeg godt kunne kopiert. Den hverdagslige outfiten, den enkle sveisen og damesykkelen gir meg på en måte sommerfølelse :)

Jeg tenker at jeg må skaffe meg lennon briller og en gammel damesykkel med kurv jeg kan sykle til stranden og til byen på..

TRANSLATION:

First of all I love this picture!

MK's simple outfit with gladiators, a light dress, long necklaces and of course the lennon-glasses is a style I'd love to copy. The everyday outfit, her hair and the old lady bike gives me sort of a summer-feeling :)

I think I have to get myself a pair of lennon glasses and an old lady bike with a basket that I can ride to the beach this summer..

La Playa

2009-06-24T00:29:00.004+02:00

Hallo =)

Ettersom jeg jobber hele denne uka fra 16.15 til 21.00 så fant jeg ut at jeg kunne like godt stå opp litt tidlig og bli med mamma og søstrene mine på stranden før jobb istede for å stå opp i to-tiden og bare glane på tv fem til jeg måtte gå.. Så halv eleve kastet vi oss på syklene og trødde avsted til stranden hvor jeg bare lå i sola og spiste rundstykker, melon, leste i Twilight (New Moon) og kikket i motemagasiner. Det var utrolig deilig!

Har jeg forresten sagt at jeg elsker lukten av solkrem? Vel nå vet dere det i alle fall.

Jeg leser New Moon og den er så sykt spennende. Tror jeg må sende en takk til Stephenie Meyer snart. Hun er et geni.

Jumpsuit, Cubus.

Necklace, Arts & Crafts (I think..?)

Ray Ban sunglasses bought in London.

TRANSLATION:

Instead of getting up in the middle of the day and waching Tv until work, I decided to join my mom and my sisters at the beach, so at 10.30 we rode down to the beach where we ate melon and I red my Twilight book and a little bit in different fashion magasines. It was wonderful to just lay there and relax! I really didn't want to go to work.

How is your weather? Are you spending alot of your time on the beach?

Vitnemålene er delt ut, alle har grått og sagt hadet til de gamle lærerne (som vi egentlig var litt glad i likevell), og sommerferien er her :) Vi hadde stort avslutningsball på et hotell hvor vi koste oss, spiset taco,sang og danset. Det er utrolig hvor mye lærerne måtte mase og kjempe for å få oss til å i det hele tatt åpne munnen i musikktimene og så står plutselig alle der og synger I'm Yours,Halleluja,Neste sommer og andre sommersanger av full hals!

Forresten elsker jeg den nye kjolen min med rysjer! Hadde egentlig ikke tenkt å kjøpe noen ny kjole til ballet ettersom jeg har noen noen ubrukte kjoler hengende i skapet, men da jeg så denne på 50%-off, så den kostet 250 kr, måtte jeg kjøpe den ;) Skal bruke den masse i sommer!

Her er outfit for avslutningsfesten:

Dress with ruffles, Bik Bok.

Denim jacket, Vintage. Studded purse, Gina Tricot.

Hat, Cubus.

Studded bracelet and black ring, bought at a maket.

Gold bangles, Vero Moda.

Blue bracelet, CMYK.

Big green ring, HM.

Necklace, bought in Krete.

Og siden alle er ferdig med 10. klasse har hele helja stort sett gått med på å feire!

Shcåll!

We have now finished 10th grade and threfore we had this huge summer prom in a hotel to celebrate. (Pictures of my outfit..) I't quite amazing that we've been going to school for ten years and now we're done! It's a little bit sad. But just a little bitt.. I'm glad I'm free :P

So because we have our summer holiday now it's been a lot of partying this weekend, and we have had lots of fun!

What are you doing this summer?

Chanel and the City..

2009-06-14T17:30:00.005+02:00

I går dro jeg til byen med familien min siden søstren min hadde bursdag.

Selv om vi var der bare for å kjøpe gave til henne og ordne et par ting, ente det jo selvfølgelig med at jeg brukte "litt" penger selv om jeg egentlig ikke hadde tenkt å kjøpe noe mer denne måneden enn skoene i innlegget under, men hallo? Hvem, prøver jeg å lure?

Først kjøpte jeg en ny sommerkjole som jeg skal bruke på 10. klasse-avslutningen til onsdag så jeg legger ut bilde av den da.

Som noen kanskje så hadde jeg den røde chanel vesken som "craving" for en stund siden og nå har de fått inn noen linkende på Gina Tricot. Her er Mary Kate, som også hadde bursdag i går forresten, med den røde chanel vesken: Og her er min fra Gina Tricot. Absolutt på tide at jeg kjøpte en veske i en annen farge enn sort.

Og så kjøpte jeg noe jeg har ønsket meg lenge:Alle seks sesongene av Sex and the City hos platekompaniet!

Jeg og Isabelle sov hos Hanne i natt og vi satt til fire på natta/morgenen og så hele første sesong, det er så gøy!

TRANSLATION:

Yeserday it was my sister's birthday, so my whole family went to the city, and even though I had promised myself not to buy anything more this month after the shoes i I just bought in the post under here, I ended up bying a few things anyway.

I bought myself a new dress I'm planning on wearing on wednesday when my class is having a party to celebrate that it's summerholiday and we have finished 10 years with school! So I'm posting pictures of it then. I also bought a red purse at Gina Tricot that looks alot like the red chanel bag I had as "current craving" a while ago. (Picture of Mary Kate wearing the red chanel bag). And at last I bought something I've been wanting for a while, all the six seasons of Sex and the City! I stayed up all night watching the first season with my friends <3

Do you watch Sex and the City?

My very own "Balmain" shoes!

2009-06-12T22:54:00.004+02:00

Som sikker noen har forstått så elsker jeg Balmain, og da spesielt skoene. Dessverre koster de litt over 13.000 kr og er derfor ikke noe alle og enhver kan unne seg, i alle fall ikke meg!

Originalene fra Balmain

Jeg har jo sett andre steder på nettet som for eksemper http://www.modekungen.se/ at de har laget veldig fine kopier, men å komme opp i 1000 kr for et par sko jeg kommer til på vokse ut av er litt sure penger...

Men for å komme til poenget så dro jeg til byen i dag og surret først litt rundt alene inn på skobutikke, før jeg plutselig ser et liknende par av de du ser ovenfor. I løpet av fem minutter var jeg et par sko rikere og mange hakk gladere!

Hadde aldri trodd å finne den typen sko til den typen pris rundt her hvor jeg bor! Jeg er glaad ;)

599 fra Skoringen!

TRANSLATION:

As some of you might know I really love Balmain and especially the shoes. They are sadly very expensive and not something I kan afford to buy, even some of the copies are pretty expensive, but today I finally found a pair in one of the shoes - shops nearby! I was quite shocked actually because I live in a small town and we don't get the newest, hottest, fanciest things very early and a lot of things we don't get at all, but now my local mall got upgraded! I'm soo happy ;)

Heihei folk.

Skoledagen ble enormt kjedelig utpå formiddagen så jeg og Isabelle dro heller hjem til meg og lagde brownies og koste oss ;) Deretter dro vi til byen for jeg skulle på jobb..

Nå sitter jeg og ser på Sex and The City, elsker den serien! Tror jeg skal kjøpe alle sesongene når jeg drar til byen neste uke, blir aldri lei av de damene!

Blir ikke så veldig langt innlegg, må snart legge meg, men her er i alle fall outfit for i dag(ja jeg vet jeg bare skulle på jobb, men jeg liker å pynte meg ;P Forresten jobber jeg som telefonselger for de som ikke viste det ;P):

Big sized T-shirt in XXXXL with zebra, bought at BiB (Big is Beautiful) at H&M.

Black jeans, Vero Moda.

Leather clutch bag, Cubus

Old converse all star shoes (I practically live in these!).

TRASLATION:

Isabelle and I went to my place and made brownies instead of staying at school, enjoying the sunny weather ;) After that we went to the city because I was going to work.

Now I'm watching Sex and The City, I relly love that show. I think I'm going to buy all the seasons when I'm going shopping next week!

Not a very long intersting post today, I have to go to bed soon, but I posted today's outfit pictures ;)

2009-06-10T13:22:00.009+02:00

Heihei.

Nå begynner det (endelig!) å nerme seg sommereferie, så dagen i dag på skolen gikk med til å levere inn bøker, rydde litt og ha en mini-avslutning med lærerne våre.

Er ikke spesielt trist for å slutte på ungdommskolen, men noen av lærerne kommer jeg faktisk til å savne. De har vert utrolig tålmodige med oss, klasse 10c som nesten ingen lærere orket å ha..

Vi hadde faktisk 4 forskjellige kontaktlærere i løpet av 8. og 9. klasse!

Klokka 11 kunne vi gå hjem så nå har jeg bare slappet av, og stikker snart til byen med Isabelle og Hanne før jobb.

Outfit i dag:

Oversized blazer and studded clutch, Gina Tricot.

Blue dress, ?

Vintage studded belt.

Necklace, HM Accessories.

White jeans, Vero Moda.

Ankle boots, DNA.

TRANSALTION:

I'm soon going to town with a couple of friends before work, and this is my outfit today.

What do you work as?

I går var en jævlig dag, rett og slett.

Jeg satt fra 10 på morgenen til 10 på kvelden, så en liten pause og deretter satt jeg til ett på natta og jobbet med med muntlig eksamen! Jeg holdt på å begynne å grine! Kom opp i engelsk og skulle snakke om Sør Afrika, Nelson Mandela, sør afrikansk politikk og masse annet jeg ikke kunne en skit om, i 20 minutter! Ikke at engelsk var en ille ting å komme opp i, men temaet var grusomt.

I dag 08.30 fremførte jeg det for engelsklæreren min og en sensor og som en takk for alt strevet fikk jeg 5+! Egentlig er jeg bare glad jeg er ferdig med det. Ferdig med hele ungdomsskolen. Noen synes årene på ungdomsskolen er en fin tid. Det synes ikke jeg. Det jeg trenger nå er sommerferie!

Så for å feire at vi er ferdig med eksamen dro jeg og noen andre på bowling, så på kinarestaurant og deretter så vi filmen Yes Man. Har aldri likt Jim Carrey spesielt godt, men det var absolutt en morsom film! Er på sååå mye bedre humør i dag enn jeg var i går kjenner jeg!

Brukte disse babyene i byen.

Kjøpt på Bianco 600,-

Og favoritt brillene mine kjøpt i London i fjor.

TRANSLATION:

I'm now done with all my exams and to celebrate, me and my friends went bowling, eating chineese and waching the movie Yes man tonight!

I'm so happy the summer holiday is coming up soon!

Balmain VS Gina Tricot!

2009-06-03T14:38:00.006+02:00

Er det ikke fantastisk?!

Ista klikket jeg meg inn på gina tricot sin hjemmeside, og hva ser jeg? Et bittelite bilde av noe jeg har sett før...en bjelle ringer i hodet mitt.. Balmain-vesteeeeeeen :D

Jeg er sikkert ikke den eneste som har hatt den hvite naglebelagte vesten fra Balmain langt oppe på ønskelisten, men likevell dessverre måttet innse av prisen ikke helt passer lommeboka.

Til dere har jeg i alle fall en gladnyhet!(med mindre alle har sett den og jeg ligger langt etter da..)

Nå har det seg nemlig sånn at Gina Tricot har laget en utrolig lik versjon av dette lille kunstverket til 399,- Etter min mening er faktisk 400 litt mye for en vest, men dette er jo ikke hvilken som helst vest heller. De har klart å lage den utrolig lik! Om det er en liten ting jeg kan si er bedre med originalen er det at den er litt lengre og da sikkert veldig fin til kjoler og lange topper nå som sommeren kommer.

Men ellers, juhuuuuu :)!

Hva synes du??

TRANSLATION:

I've been dreaming about this studded leather vest from balmain, and today I discovered they are making a similar one at Gina Tricot! I'm soooo happy right now :D

DIY - Alexander Wang!

2009-06-02T09:35:00.009+02:00

Hei,hei.

Flere som har kost seg i helja? Været var nyydelig så vennene mine og jeg bestemte oss for å dra ned til stranda for å steke litt i sola. Utrolig deilig å kjenne sola på kroppen etter alle de månedene med lag på lag av klær!

Men det jeg skulle frem til i dette innlegget er at jeg har gjort mitt andre DIY-prosjekt og ble faktisk veldig fornøyd.

Har nemlig siklet over denne shortsen fra Alexander Wang, men ettersom jeg er ei vanlig jente med en vanlig jobb har jeg ikke råd tl å bruke flere tusen på en shorts. Og hva gjør man da? Jo man lager en!

Her viser jeg hvordan jeg gjore det trinn for trinn og så er det bar å komme med spørsmål om det er noe ;)

Du trenger:

-Kniv (den lange gule)

-Maljer (Gullgreiene i den lille posen)

-Maljetang (sølvtangen til venstre)

-Vanlig tang

-Hulleting..

-Lenker, jeg brukte bare gamle smykkekjeder og liknende

-I tillegg trenger du selvfølgelig en avklippet bukse eller shorts.

Begynn med å enten klippe eller skjære huller der du har lyst i shortsbeina.

Grunnen til at jeg valgte å skjære istede for å klippe er at når man bruker saks blir ofte hullene litt for "fine". Om du skjærer kommer det litt frynser med en gang og hullene ser ikke så planlagte ut. Mange bruker også sandpapir.

Lag huller med den spisse greia :P Husk å ikke stikke for nære de hullene du lagde med kniven så ikke det revner.

Utvid hullet uten å rive og putt i maljen (gull eller sølv, du velger) med den taggete siden innerst.

Bruk maljetangen til å feste maljene. Trykk hardt så de festen ordentlig.

Dra kjedene gjennom hullene og fest dem. Det var veldig greit å bruke halskjeder som hadde lås for da var de lette å sette på og lette å ta av når shortsen skal vaskes. Noen stedet brukte jeg også små sølvringer som jeg hektet endene i lenken i og knep igjen med tangen.

Gjenta mange ganger til du har så mange lenker du ønsker!

Sluttresultat:

Må si jeg ble veldig fornøyd :) Denne kommer sikkert til å bli brukt masse i sommer både med korte tights, hullete strømper og for seg selv til brune bein ;)

Her er outfit for i går hvor jeg brukte shortsen for første gang:

No makeup :P

Fikk ikke det med i tutorialen, men jeg sydde også på en sort skinnlapp på den ene baklomma.

Skinnet var fra den gamle skinnsofaen vår.

TRANSLATION:

I made my own pair of Alexander Wang-inspired shorts, and I'm really excited about them.

Feel free to askt questions :)!

Sweet 16

Hallo på do.

I kveld feiret jeg bursdagen min som var 05. mai!

Har gledet meg veldig til det og heldigvis ble været supert så ønsket mitt om å sitte ute hele kvelden, grille hamburgere og kose oss gikk i oppfyldelse :)

Tusen takk alle sammen for en flott kveld og flotte gaver <3!

Sjokolademousse=Nam :)

Som sagt satt vi ute hele kvelden og jeg merket i kveld hvor mye jeg har savnet å kunne sitte ute klokken ni om kvelden i skjørt og t-skjorte og ikke fryse i det hele tatt! (Og jeg er verdens største frysepinne, så vet dere det). Sommeren er virkelig herlig og nå gleder meg meg bare mer og mer til ferie for hver dag som går.

I går hadde vi forresten vår siste spansktime. SYYKT. Har ventet på den dagen i rundt to år nå. Fy flaten jeg hater spansk! Ikke gentlig språket, men å ha om det er drit.

Noen av dere leste kanskje tidligere på blogg.no-bloggen min at jeg hadde spansktentamen og lovet at jeg skulle blogge om det hvis jeg fikk over 2..? (Jeg var nemlig brennsikker på en 2-er).

Men vet dere hvaa? Jeg fikk 4-!

SJOKK kan jeg vell si..

Her er outfit for ikveld i alle fall:

T-shirt: DIY

Skirt with buttons: Gina Tricot

Old leggings with holes.

Studded bracelet: Bought at a marked.

Necklace: HM

I celebrated my 16th birthday tonight!

Sulten på ringer!

2009-05-27T22:30:00.011+02:00

Har skikkelig dilla på tilbehør i det siste! Føler meg naken uten smykker og i alle fall et par ringer på fingrene :P

Disse falt i alle fall i smak hos meg (hehe, falt i smak ja..:P)

Likte spesielt godt oreo-ringen, men hva synes du?

I really want these rings from Nelly.com!
