Paris Next

As I'm leaving for Paris in just two days, I thought I'd create a small Parisian photo collage. This is how I want to dress in the City of fashion! I'll stay for nine days and hope to post some inspirational posts while I'm there:)

1. Hat from H&M
2. Bag from Mulberry
3. Dress from Anna Sui
4. Coat from Burberry London
5. Shoes from Christian Louboutin
6. Gloves from H&M

Sale at Net-a-Porter

For a limited time period Net-a-Porter treats you really nice by offering a lot of stuff at 50% off the original price. Personally, I've had long term cravings for this beautiful Mulberry tote...

La Redoute (slow) Speed Sale

I fortunately remembered to pick up a well reduced item from yesterday's 30minutes sale at La Redoute. After surfing through the very slow speed site, I ended up with this lovely cardigan from Comptoir des Cotonniers. It's practical, warm and can be worn to most of my clothes.

Did any of you grab the sale opportunity?

Fall Dressing

Here are some snap shots from a few of this week's outfits. Keeping warm seems to be a key word...
Left: Turtle neck from H&M, cardigan from Paul Frank (Outlet Sale find), glass pearl necklace from some outlet sale and black jeans from Acne

Middle: Trench from Bruuns Bazar, Hat from Munthe + Simonsen (another outlet sale find), scarf from Mulberry, leather bag bought in Bangkok, and boots from Shanghai.

Right: Cardigan from Bik Bok, Top from market in Bangkok, belt "stolen" from my mum's closet, shorts from Topshop and bag from Miu Miu.

Oslo Fashion House Outlet Sale

The outlet sale season is here, and next out is Oslo Fashion House. The sale takes place on Saturday 21.Oct. from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at Granfoss Konferansesenter, Vollsveien 13 H, Lysaker. (se map)

Accessories and clothes from labels as Esmeralda, Ted Niol, Loft Fashion, August Silk, K.A Collection and more will be sold at well reduced prices.

I have never been to this sale before and cannot verify the quality, but you could perhaps find some nice Christmas presents :-)

Victor & Rolf for H&M Preview

H&M invites you to a preview of the Victor & Rolf collection that will be launched the 30. October and in stores the 9. November. The collection includes men's wear, ladies' wear AND shoes!
Personally, I fell completely in love with the red ballerina skirt. Lovely stuff! And with those shoes...

Dressing Up For Saturday Night

I love dressing up for posh parties, and Saturday my party shoes finally got the chance to hit the dance floor :)

Wool dress: From Noa Noa (purchased by my dear sister about five years ago)

Necklace: From market in Bangkok

Purse: My Grandmother's from the 1950's

Shoes: Bought on sale at ASOS

Pashmina shawl: From Shanghai

Three Days, Three Styles

Just thought I'd post a few pics from this week's dressing.
Left: Cardigan and vest top from H&M, skirt from Tara Jarmon, necklace from Portobello Road Market, bag from Miu Miu and stockings, my sister's old :)

Middle: The dress is from a market in Shanghai, the cardigan from Bik Bok (I'm a cardigan addict!), boots from Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk and bag as before.

Right: Cardigan (once again!) from H&M, black top from Marlene Birger, shorts from Fornarina and boots from the true shopping haven, Shanghai. The belt is bought some eight years ago in Greece and the necklace is from the same market as the pearls.

Swarovski Beaded Convertibal Anyone?

My boyfriend sent me this picture from The Paris Car Show, and even though cars are not my major interest, I must say: That's a car I could drive! As you can see, the car is covered in Swarovski crystal beads, and would make the perfect accessory for the party season. Maybe not very practical, but definetaly outstandable!

Enjoy Free Shipping at NET-A-PORTER!

Right now, net-a-porter offers free shipping. Simply enter freeship1 into the promotional code box on the Shopping Bag page. This code is valid until 18th October. Personally, I have never tried shopping at this web store, but if I my budget was a bit bigger... Anyone has any experiences?

Blend Outlet Sale!

Blend and Blend She are arranging their semi annual sample sale this week. Whether you're a fan or just looking for some great bargins this could be worth checking out.

The sale takes place on Wednesday and Thursday between 15.00-20.00 at Blend Norway AS, Fornebuveien 1, 4. floor, 1366 Lysaker.

Magazines for less

I love reading and finding inspiration from magazines, particularly within the field of fashion and decoration. However, buying all those monthlies from the News Agent's can turn out to be a costly affair. If you still buy your favourite magazine regularly, a subscription would be something to consider. Apart from dumping directly down into your mail box, it's cheaper and, as a bonus, you're likely to receive some really nice extras.
Below I've handed in links to some of the best subscriptions offers available on the Internet. Who thought being economical could be so much fun?!

Elle (Norwegian edition):
NOK 199,- + free mascara and lipstick from Mac
Elle Interiør: 4 issues at NOK 149,- + free gift
Elle (US edition): 12 issues at $ 30 (NOK 195,-)
Vogue (UK edition): 12 issues at NOK 740,-

Outfit: Uniformed Twist

Jacket: Custom made from Shanghai

Skirt: Bik Bok

Boots: Old, can't recall

Bag: Mulberry

Outfit: 70's Vibes

I really like mixing vintage with high street. That way your outfit gets a personal feel rather than the mass produced look. Also, it's environmental and economic, which makes it a win-win situation:)

Vintage dress: From the Sunday market at "Blå"

Cardigan: Bik Bok

Leather jacket: Bik Bok

Boots: Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk

Bag: Mulberry
