Finally they found their way home to where they belong!

I got a call from the Acne store yesterday telling me they just got a new delivery of the atacomas. Went there asap and swiped my card. Joy!

I'm wiild about my new ring. It's really something else.

The stone is a Brazilian Agate slice. Whatever that is :) Well, all I know is that it looks amazing! Love that it is so oversized, and the colour is be-a-utiful.

Now I have two favourite rings. And they go so well together.

Finally!, the shoes from Eileen Shields arrived in my mailbox.
I ordered them in july, but back then they were still being re-produced because they were sold out after the girls at anywho introduced them to us.

They are insaanely cool.

I love the shape, and I love the wooden look on the platform mixed with the suede leather. Oh oh.

Oh yes, you're more than welcome to my wardrobe!

Wasn't planning to go for the sheepskin trend this season, but it looks like it's going to happen anyway.

Found this cool vintage coat which is really oversized (it's a men's coat actually). Freezing will hopefully not be a problem this winter.

I'm aiming to cop this look from Burberry Prorsum. Big jacket, slim fit below and chunky footwear sounds good.

I love minimalism. Really like the cut and the panels.

At first glance it may look kind of strict and office-ish - but not when I work it with a nice lace-bra peeking from underneath and skyhigh heels.

By coincidence, Lena & I found a vintage store I've never seen before - no wonder, they just opened last week! Joy.
We were in a hurry, but it seemed like they had a lot of treasures (this bustier is a perfect example!) + the prices were really good. Oh, I'll have to come back later.
I'm not sure about the address (can try to find out), but it's almost next to Oslo Kongressenter just further up. In a nude coloured building. Edit: The address is Møllergata 23 :)

There's a lot of talk about statement necklaces - but we mustn't forget about the statement earrings too!

Theese are a bit too pretty for my taste, but paired with a simple outfit, they'll look good.

I just got theese as a gift! The sexy shoes from Zara :) Exactly what I wanted.
Love the suede leather, the high ankle and the thick rubber platform.

( update 17 july: hey guys! how are you? thanks for all the lovely comments, I'll answer them soon.
Anyway, it must be annoying to keep visiting a blog with no updates, yeah? I know. But I haven't been able to blog eventhough I really want to. Frustrating. Aah..  We're in Queensland now, but when we get back to Melbourne next week, I'm sure I'll be able to make a little post.. :) )

Hello :) Thanks for all of the sweet comments! I'm reeeaally enjoying my time here in Melbourne. (It's a bit colder here than I had expected though, should've brought warm sweaters and jeans instead of a bikini and shorts!)
Oh and I really appreciate your shopping tips! (Keep them coming!) I'm writing them all down, and I hope I can check out all the stores and streets you've recommended.
I'll talk to you later :)

Most wardrobes have those fundamental, essential garments -  for example the perfect fitting jeans, the simple white tee, the LBD, a fitted blazer etc. etc.
My wardrobe on the other hand.. Well, let's just say that I find it much more fun to buy things that aren't very basic. (Like.. the green jacket  from acne which I love, but it's not exactly the most versatile garment).
Therefore, when I get that  "Maaan, I have nothing to wear"-feeling it's more like "Maan, I have nothing to combine this with" - just because of all the basic pieces I don't have.

Anyway, my plan is the build up a simple, quality, black/white/grey wardrobe consisting of all those fundamental pieces.
This is not the first time I've had this thought though. Good luck to me. Hope I don't get tempted by a pair of crazy statement shoes or something (probably).

I started out with buying this bikerjacket from Zara. It's simple, nice, veery soft, and, it goes with anything.
Mmm. I've missed having a fitted clean leatherjacket, since I studded my old one.. It's a must-have.

I'm expecting this necklace in the mail anytime soon.
Pretty pretty pretty.

Shiny. Silver.
Those two keywords sounds pretty good too me.

 I was thinking I could make a DIY project out of this. Make my own copy of the Alexander Wang dress.
I'll get started on it next week!

Everything is from American Apparel :)

Light-washed shorts with a slightly high waist.
..Eventhough I think the whole trashy/ripped & studded denim look is cool - I want to keep the shorts this way. I like the clean look.

An essential ingredient for my summer wardrobe!

Nude cropped top with straps
H&M Trend

Comfy! & chic too. That's an unbeatable combination. You can't really see how it looks, but I think it's the same model as the zebra jumpsuit they sold at H&M a while ago :)

Right now I'm off to the opening of a new shoppingmall, Eger! Exciting. Gotta run!

The other day I was dreaming about summer :) and I looked for sandals. Hehe.

I knew that they were long gone, unfortunately, but I could not stop thinking of these.

SIIIIGH

I've always wanted these shoes from Acne's SS08 collection. They look so good.




As I ebay-ed, googled and looked through blogs, I came over some knock-offs!! Ok. I can't stand knock-offs, but sometimes you just got to let go of that.. Because because.. I got to have them.

They are now on their way home to me.

I've been looking for this for a long time and I finally found it!
As I'm still searching for bold statement necklaces, I don't mind using this in the meantime.

White oversized knitsweater. The men's section H&M
I was inspired by Elise from the blog Anywho (which has become on of my favourite blogs!) to buy this white sweater after I saw how fantastic she looked wearing it. I think it will become one of my key-items this spring!

Neonpink highwaist bandage-skirt. The Trend-section H&M
I was drawn to this colour. So bold and edgy!
They have this in a dress to (very Preen/Hervé Léger-ish) which is really cool. I want both, but I ended up buying the skirt because it's more versatile.. That don't happen very often.

Old fashion 'clubmasters'

I wanted the black ones but they didn't have them in stock. But I guess these are almost as nice.

Kinda.. ugly but cool.
Very cool though. I think these are going to be used a lot!

Round sunglasses are cool. But I think it's kinda hard to find some that looks good on. Or, I guess it's just something that I have to get used to.

My shopping habits = bread and water for the rest of the month.

Kidding :)

.... I can't afford the bread.

Amazing. I'm so satisfied with this purchase!

Tips: Acne har lagersalg hele denne uken. Theresesgate 33, på Bislett.
Når jeg var der i går var det stappfullt! Så hvis du kan burde du dra på dagtid, før rushet :)

You know that feeling when you see something, and you just know that you have to have it?
When I went to copenhagen last month I found the most stunning vintage sequinjacket - unfortunately, I had already spent most of my money on other clothes so I couldn't afford it...

But I was lucky - I found the exact same jacket on ebay a few weeks later! I knew I would! :D

Ebay is a place for vintage treasures.

New accessories are always welcome.
Rings, bracelets and necklaces..
& I want them to be bold and/or scary. Important criteria.

I bought these two rings from ebay. Two different wolves.
Killer.

Oh man, it's so cool.

Bought a pair of black boots from Bianco.
I like the mix of leather and suede leather. and I like the front/toe part that is "cut off".

*

I'm thinking skinny jeans and a loose tanktop. Done.

Cheers to my new dress!

Some of my recent purchases :)

Fringed & studded leathervest: Zara

White blouse with ruffles: Acne
Oh, a new favourite!
I've already found out what I'll combine it with. Can't wait to wear it :D

Blah, I were in a hurry when I took these photos but I just wanted to show you my new pants.
They are sooooo cool. I'll have to show you better pictures later! ;)

/Edit: New pictures.

I bought another beautiful jumpsuit.
I love the fabric, the deep blue color, the beading and the draping.

This piece is a stunner.

Seriously.

I have to get my hands on a cocktailparty invitation! Hehe.

My new favourite bracelet.

Vintage

I think this color might be one of my favourites - at least I'm sure that it is the perfect color for this garment!

And the beading is beautiful! I'm so satsified with this purchase :) I'll wear this to a nice dinner or a cocktail party or something. Hehe.

Yeah, and it's actually a jumpsuit!
So, when it arrives (in two weeks which is way too long) I'll either chop it off and make it into shorts/ a dress/ or keep it in that lengt but just make it a bit skinnier. I'll have to see what looks best!

Hello to my new boots! They're welcome to participate in many of my future autumn outfits from now on :)


I thought they'd be painful, but they actually feel very comfortable. Ok, I haven't worn them outside yet, but by walking around in the house they feel like they're easy to walk in. Let's hope so!

Mmm, they look so yummy. So glad I found them in my size!

H&M

H&M has the greatest faux fur scarf in the men's department right now. Oh it's lovely. It can improve so many outfits don't you think?

I'm just dying to wear it.

I also bought a practical & roomy bag that's suitable for school. From Lindex.

And then these boots (skopunkten) are going to be freaking amazing because I bought this:

I was going to find studs but didn't, and as impatient as I am I ended up buying these glass mosaic pieces.
Which, by the way, works just as fine!
Yeah, I've done one boot already and I'm telling you - I'm drooling just by looking at them. I'm just so satisfied!

I'll show you a picture of the finished work tomorrow :D

Remember this hyped maxidress from H&M that only costs around 26 $ / 149 NOK?

I've always wanted it, but it was sold out everywhere..

However, I suddenly found it today!
It is two sizes too big, but that's ok. That only makes the back lower - exactly how I like it.
The sexiness of a dress doesn't have to be based on how short it is, but how low the back is!  Yum, there's nothing sexier than showing some back :D Yeah?

I bought a black maxidress this summer but: black long dress + black long hair. Nah, wasn't feeling it at all. And I never found the right pattern or florals.
So, this is actually my only maxidress. Too bad I finally found it in september. Next summer?
Nah, but I'll find a way to use it for fall too, I've already tried some things out.

Black. Patent. Lace-up. Straps. Buckles. Zipper.

Perfect!

From Dinsko.

I really love this oversized tee with dreamy clouds all over it. I bought it in a bigger size than I usually use, to get it even more oversized and have the option to use it as a dress.
The clouds are beauutiful.

I picked up my new shoes today.
Theese cream colored ones are definitely my favourite. I find them extremely sexy :) Haha.
It would be typical of me to buy theese in black - I always go for black, but I'm glad I chose this color. I have so many black pair of shoes already.

Denne fikk jeg i gave.
Har lenge tenkt å skaffe meg en brun skinnbag siden jeg har så mange svarte bager og vesker. Mm, så denne er fin, pluss at den er handy siden den er så romslig, har flere lommer og stropp til skulderen. Denne kommer jeg til å bruke mye.

Yacht hatt.

Liten rund vintage veske fra Etsy. Søt.

Har bestilt masse annet fra internett som jeg gleder meg til skal komme. 8)
Har ikke orket å poste noen outfits i det siste for jeg har ikke noe å ha på meg. Kjedelig.

Fra H&M. Dro egentlig for å sjekke ut den svarte/lilla/gule/blå blomstrete kjolen/toppen som er på alle blogger, men tja vet ikke, kjøpte den hvertfall ikke. Ganske fin, men ble ikke helt tiltrukket av den tror jeg.. Så da kjedeshoppa jeg denne istedet, men den er egentlig veldig veldig fin. Kjøpte den i large, blir så mye finere da syns jeg.

Jeg har shoppa :D Her er noe av kjøpene:

Stakk innom strømmen etter skolen for å kjøpe hårspray, hvit singlet og andre basics - men kom ut med litt mer. Blant annet dette :)

Har aldri vært noe spesielt fan av den maritime stilen, men det er masse jeg syns er fint da.
Uansett, jeg gikk til innkjøp av denne heldrakten her! Hello sailor.

Synes den var adorable jeg :) Hehehe.

Fra Ebay
