10 good days at Lindex

Check out Lindex' new campaign, 10 Good Days, with one special offer every day.
I'm thinking of hitting the stores on Friday to pick up the handy shaping slip. Perfect to wear underneath the party dress!

Today's outfit: Black and blue


Who says black can't be paired with blue? Today I layered up with black leggings from Filippa K, oversized black top from Melrose, LA, vintage Busnel cardigan, and cashmere scarf from Acne. My studded platforms are from Aldo.

My favourite day of the week

That is today:) Started off with a fresh walk to Grünerløkka, and enjoyed the sight of sunlight! Since the weather was good, I could wear my tailor made jacket from Shanghai, Mulberry scarf, jeans from April77, and boots from Enzo Poli. On my shoulder dazzles my dear Chanel.

November sun in Oslo.

Sweet! Met with a friend at my favourite café, Cocoa. My order? Cocoa with dark chocolate and a hint of orange - SO good! My friend had marshmallows in hers, so I might try that out next time.

Botkier Sample Sale

Sadly, I'm not in New York. But for those who are, you could check out the Botkier sample sale, taking place on December 3rd - 6th. Botkier (as in Monica Botkier) hit the crowds a few years ago with their popular Bianca satchel, and has continued to make stylish handbags, shoes and wallets ever since.

Dinner Party!

Outfit for the night: My new sequined blazer from H&M (love the dark blue colour!), blouse from Zara, denim shorts from Levi's, and suede pumps from Eden Shoes (bought in Paris)

Having good friends over for dinner sure is a true energy boost! Although the food took some time to cook, it was well worth the time. I served satay meatballs, bulgur salad with mint and squash, tzatziki, and mango salsa. And for dessert: Banana cake with vanilla ice cream. Yummy!
We definitively have to do repeat this event!

Party Wear In Stores Now

This blue sequined dress from Voice of Europe was featured in the December issue of Elle. It shows off your back beautifully, although it was for me a bit hard to fit into. Love the colour - and at NOK 799,- the price isn't too bad, either.

Bonus: Right now you they have a buy 2, get 3 offer on the entire store!

At Bik Bok this black tulle dress made be think of Madonna's eighties' look. Just pile on with necklaces and put on your brightest lipstick.


To me the nineties equal Beverly Hills 90210. Perhaps it's time to get the Dylan tee I always wanted? (Bik Bok)


Love the finish of this fur waist coat. Get it from Voice of Europe.

Sparkle in this cute skirt from Bik Bok. Very girly and probably fun to dance in:)

Today's...

White blouse from Shanghai, waistcoat from H&M, tights from Elton & Jacobsen, and secondhand boots.

American deals



Daily Candy is a website known for alerting of sample sales all over the Us. Now, Daily Candy has created an own sample sale website, called Swirl. This member-only site is said to carry designer clothing ad accessories for up to 80 percent off.
So sign up now!

I only hope they allow for international orders as well. The whole thing with creating an American mailbox address and have the goods sent from there is just too complicated for my taste...

Model Yoga


Male model Agustin Aguerreberry stays in shape by practicing hard core yoga. His posture demonstrations on Youtube sure motivates for intensifying my own yoga regime.
Speaking of it.. Whenever I want to do yoga, but don't feel like heading to the gym, I just follow a few video workouts on YouTube. That works too!
