Herceg Novi; step by step.

I told you I had a ton of vacation pictures to show you guys! Here I'm walking through the old town in Herceg Novi. It's such a beautiful place; serene and captivating. Not to mention exhausting, because of all the stairs and steps. But that's OK, I got some beautiful shots and a nice workout at the same time. And a rewarding ice cream in the end.

1380 versus 2012

Published on 2012-06-24 17:21:00

I had to share these captions from Herceg Novi, Montenegro. The contrasts are undeniable. Some of the buildings date back to the 1380's, but local artists and taggers have sporadically befouled history throughout the city. Not sure what I think about it, but it did catch my attention. It's slightly sad, and a little bit beautiful.

It's mine, all mine.

The garden of Monet

Published on 2012-06-06 04:00:00

Personal and unmistakable, Renato Cerisola's style is fluid. According to his resume, he does not specialize in any particular area, but follow the thread of sensitivity and emotion. This is a project that easily could pass as an ode to Monet and his studies of art and strokes. Found at the gates of Normandy, this charming Japanese captured his interest just like Giverny attracted Monet. An explosion of fragrances, influences and colors is captured in photography, unlike anything I've ever seen. [..]

My little shop had a serious overhauling yesterday. I added 27 new pieces from my wardrobe. Most of them have only been worn once, so maybe you or someone you know can give them a new home. I'm trying to go back to basics in both my wardrobe and style, and be more environmental friendly in the process. I'm selling blouses, dresses, skirts and vests ranging from US2 to US10; XS to Large and even some one sizes. Cheap and chic, between $9 and $42!Hope you'll find something you like!

Undefinable

Published on 2012-02-23 08:05:00

"It had been the spring, it will be remembered, that had prompted them to go on pilgrimage; and me, too, the spring was filling with strange, undefinable longings, and though I flattered myself that I had set out in pursuance of a definitely taken resolve, I had really no more freedom in the matter than the children who followed at the heels of the mad piper."- The Quest of the Golden Girl by Richard le Gallienne.

Linnea Syversen is a student and a freelance photographer based in Oslo. She has already been featured at the website of Italian Vogue, which come as no surprise when I look at her pictures. I fell completely in love with this series entitled "Collage of broken thought". Interesting, simple, complex, sensitive and sensual. It's art, in its finest sense. Thank you for letting me share these, Linnea.Visit her site here!

As you know, I'm really into the contrasting elements of style; high-fashion and edgy vs. super-adorable and cute. It's a constant. This collection from Red Valentino caught my eye, instantly. It's just so freakin' cute, it's almost obnoxious. Either way, I just had to share it, even though I don't normally spam my blog with the most recent collections during the seasons.

These are the only jeans I've ever liked, and that is saying a lot. It may be because I got them in New York, but since everything about my NY trip was fab-olous - it means they are too! They're from WeSC and fit me like a glove! This knit sweater, however, is another story. It was my first attempt on making one, so it turned out a little bit... weird-looking.

December wasn't really a good month to sum up outfit-wise, but this month has been better! Here's what I wore in January, when I wasn't feverish and covered in blankets. Remember to vote for me in the Vixen + minMote.no Blog Awards before the 4th if

Textures

Published on 2011-01-29 14:00:00

It seems very simple, but I find different textures like these very beautiful and inspirational. I'm really into this whole color palette right now as well; which is very unlike me. It doesn't suit winter at all, but that's what's so interesting a

Norways best fashion blog?

Warning: heavy text post. My knit shorts have gotten a lot of attention on the internets and in real life, for that matter - and I have received so many requests regarding them I can't even wrap my head around it. Many of you asked me if I could make

Déjà vu

Published on 2011-01-24 07:30:00

I felt like sharing this outfit again, while I'm trying to recover from the influenza. It really is one of my all-time favorites, despite the fact that it's shot inside. How weird is that? I like going through my old outfits; it's great for inspirati

I am sick, again, so I have to take it easy for a couple of days. Weeks. Or months. This is just not my year. But, on the bright side, I got this weird box in my mail today. Wonder what's inside..Follow me around!

Remix : "same shorts, different capes"

Published on 2011-01-17 08:40:00

Summing my whole remix-challenge up in one post seems like a good idea. Last week’s remix was kind of a double-remix, or perhaps even double-trouble, as I decided to use the same shorts with different capes. The shorts, which are from Gina Tricot,

Here's the fourth and final outfit in the "same shorts, different cape" remix! I love this faux-leather-patched cape from Monki, especially since it was a gift from my mother. Keeping it quite monotone today as well! Ehm, except from the obvious hair

Rachael Yamagata is one of my favorite musicians. Perfectly low-key music for my moody Sundays; or any other weekday for that matter. I won't write seven pages about her life and where she came from, but I will quote a very funny and interesting desc

I know, such a lame title. Here's my third version of the "same shorts, different cape"-remix. This is more my color-palette, or what I believe is my color-palette. I can't seem to figure myself out. I've always loved wearing black and grays, and tho

Same shorts, different cape

Published on 2011-01-12 07:00:00

I decided to do a remix with these shorts of mine using different capes to create different looks. I'm thinking about three or four; including the white one I posted earlier this week. These shorts are probably the item I've featured most often on my

Winterberries?

Published on 2011-01-12 04:13:00

I don't think I've eaten raspberries in winter before? Or is it winterberries, perhaps? Either way, they're the best part of my breakfast today. Nom-nom-nom! Sorry for spamming you with fruit and berries this morning, I'm kind of insomniac these days

Long time, no outfit! Welcome 2011. If you've stopped by my twitter or facebook this past month, you'll know that I've been sick throughout the holidays - which naturally led to a total lack of outfit posts. Not much one can do when even getting out

A sneak peak inside my closet

Published on 2011-01-08 22:20:00

So, I tried organizing my closet as best I could the week before Christmas, but I kind of gave up after about four hours or so. I think I have a mild case of OCD; my head just goes completely bonkers whenever I try to figure out clever solutions reg
