when london calls you

vintage shirt, monki tank top, bikbok cardigan, smokey grey isadora nails and hunters wellies

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!

black and lace

(yes, all black again)h&m divided blazer, borrowed lace top, only pants, smokey grey isadora nails and converse

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

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

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

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.
