lady bug

vintage cardigan, arctic monkeys tshirt, bikbok chinos, bianco backpack, and office loafers

It has been so long since I have seen the sunny sun and the ground without the snow. Not to mention the long week with days off, perfect match!

Finally found a good replacement for the Lancôme with unknown name of color lipstick I lost during my London trip last October. I have been searching for the one, and ended up with this color, Lady Bug. The name itself is just awesome.

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".

foggy day

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!

Ane Brun - Do you remember

in the woods

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 Smiths - There is a ligth that never goes out

leaves on the ground

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!

Beach House - Norway

arctic monkeys fanatic

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

wandering around

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?

hello autumnn

vintage cardigan, zara top, cheap monday shorts, and bianco oxfords

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

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

like a grandmother

nike tshirt, vintage floral maxi skirt and briefcase, bianco oxfords

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!
