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 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!

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!

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

Arctic Monkeys - Piledriver Waltz

bevisst

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.

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?
