One Beautiful Night

Had a spare moment before meeting a friend and was lucky enough to spend it at Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen. The sunset was just amazing, the air mild and clear. Here are my snapshots:) 

Photo Diary: Love Oslo

Sharing with you some photographic memories from yesterday. On a day like this I love my city more than ever.

The cupcakes at "Nest" the small bakery/interior shop in Jacob Aals gate are simply photo perfect!

Beautiful!

Lunch for City Dwellers!

People-watching and enjoying a double latte. Mmmm! 

Nature's mirror

Sister love:)

These oxfords are made for walking. Just what I need.

L.O.V.E. 

Let's make this moment last.

Upcoming Shopping Events

Lots of events for girls who love to mingle and shop after hours. Store opening at DesignTorget in Hegdehaugsveien, and shopping event at Mango featuring Costume. Do I see you?

Saturday Idyll

Outfit details: Jacket: Tommy Hilfiger. Wool cardigan: Express. Sleeve: Forever21. Circle scarf: By Marlene Birger. Shimmer leggings: H&M. Ankle boots: Cashott (Shoe Lounge). Bag: Alexander Wang. Puh! So much clothes to wear at this time of the year...

Autumn leaves

Snaps from today's stroll out and about in Oslo: Outlet sale browsing, café hopping and just testing out my new winter boots. Very comfy to walk in, and soft with sheepskin on the inside:)

Shades of October

City Strolling

Oslo is wonderful in the summer (which city isn't?!), and yesterday while waiting for my "dinner date", I went for a stroll. Some obeservations:
- 30 percent off at most sales items at Eger (I usually wait for further reductions...)
- 30-50 percent off at Zara's summer collection
- Lots of items to crave at H&M Trend (Like the skirt and blazer that I just had to try on)

Mmm... reindeer pizza!

Outfit details: Sarong used as shawl: H&M, bolero: Belair, jeans: Gina Tricot, shoes: from Bangkok, bag: Mulberry, bracelets: H&M and MeMic.

Åpen Bakeri may foremost be associated with their bread and pastries, but did you know that they also serve pizza? I had this delicious one with reindeer, rosemary, and pomegranate (of all things!). It was so good I had to finish it all. Mmmm!
Want to try it out? Visit Åpent Bakeri in Åsengata 42 (Sandaker, Oslo). They keep open until nine p.m. from Wednesday to Sunday.

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.

Oslo Tonight

Three days left... Will you show up in line for the Jimmy Choo collection?

Side 2 have rated parts of the design pieces, check out their verdict here!

Come as you are in what used to be Max Mara's store front in Hegdehaugsveien is great for window shopping after hours. Love the store décor!

Just Cruzin'...

There's nothing like Oslo in the summer. Just cruising on my bike (or grabbing a "bysykkel"), watching tourist crowds in Frognerparken, drinking ice coffee in a park while reading a free copy of Vixen, my favourite street magazine, and just enjoying the stress free summer day go by...

By the way, my shirt is from Forever 21 (I love that store.. and their prices!), and the bracelet is bought from some Indians along the road in Nevada. Bag as before (and for forever in the future), from Chanel.

Flea Market Shopping!

Med et snev av sommer i lufta hadde jeg gode grunner for å ta sandalene ut av hiet sitt. Riktignok med strømper, men du verden så deilig det var med luft mellom tærne igjen!

Foruten om sandalene fra Tamaris, bestod dagens antrekk av shorts fra Primark, t-shirt fra Abercrombie & Fitch, ullcardigan fra Maisy Bloom og jakke fra April77.

-----------------------------------

The hint of summer in the sky was just what I needed to finally bring my sandals out of their box. Still the air is too crisp to skip the opaques, but nevertheless just wearing lighter shoes felt marvelous!

My outfit details are: Sandals from Tamaris, shorts from Primark, t-shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch, wool cardigan from Maisy Bloom, and jacket from April77.

At loppemarkedsesongen er over oss bar denne Oslohelgen liten tvil om. Tydeligvis er det høy konkurranse markedene imellom, for her på Lilleborg Skole var det overraskende lite besøkende! Kanskje det var de enorme klesfjellene som fikk folk til å backe ut? Her var det ikke mye orden, nei! Selv ikke etter et tappert forsøk på å dykke ned i haugene, fant jeg de store skattene. Mye store størrelser og slitne plagg, men også mye glemt (eller fortrengt?) kleshistorie fra de siste fire tiår.

----------------------------------------

There were lots of fleamarkets across Oslo today, so I paid a visit to a local one at Lilleborg Skole. This was a really messy one, but in the miscellaneous section the luck was with me. I found just the kind of vintage frames that I was looking for and even an ancient looking wooden jewellery box:) I didn't pay much for any of the items, which made this shopping experience totally guilt free!

Litt heldigere var jeg da i avdelingen for "ting og tang". De to gamle rammene var akkurat slike jeg var på utkikk etter, mens smykkeskrinet i tre var et kupp. Skikkelig forseggjort med fløyel og speil i topplokket, samt praktiske rom til ringer og øredobber. Nå skal det nok bli orden i sysakene, ja!

Apple Tree

På lørdagens bytur oppdaget jeg en ny og spennende butikk. Apple Tree er navnet, og innenfor dørterskelen i Vibes gate 15 skjuler det seg her både interiørskatter og en søt liten kafé. Kafébutikken har vært åpen siden mai, men ettersom den ligger i en gate jeg ikke frekventerer særlig ofte, har jeg ikke sett den før nå. Kommer imidlertid til å ta turen tilbake for å nyte en kaffe i vindussofaen deres, for slike individuelle butikker er kjært krydder til bybildet.

------------------------------------------------
Last Saturday I discovered this cute little interior boutique, Apple Tree at Majorstua in Oslo. The shop offers more than knick-knacks. Within its walls, there's a tiny café selling freshly brewed coffee and home made cakes. The café boutique opened in May, but this was the first time I noticed it. However, I will defenitely return my visits sometime in close future.
