Shooting jewels

Spent this Saturday morning shooting images of my dear friend Line's jewellery. Model Helene was a gem as always; and Sigrid, Karina and Anette made it all sparkle. Thank you, lovely bunch!

Colour-blocking against rainy weather

Prada and YSL give my eyes som highly needed colours today. Spotted these looks from the Resort-2011 collections. Please stop raining....

Daredevil

OK - I have posted a photo of myself. I know it's cheesy. But I promised to showcase my new sunnies when they arrived. And a promise is a promise is a promise.

Yesterday's news

OK - so I'm not working these days. Just trying to take it easy (it's a job, not kidding you).

Yesterday when I woke up me and my boyfriend were both really sleepy. I don't know why, but all of a sudden we decided to play some early tennis. Not a good idea. My reaction was crap and the ball would not go where I wanted.

After that poor early bird-attempt, we went to our Italian café in Parkveien. Yes, I call it "ours" because we don't have to order. The people there know what we are having and how we like it before we even open our mouths. Which is such a luxury. Stayed there a good while, reading through the official OFW magazine. I have to say - the fashion stories were beautiful (especially the one with the origami theme); but the language had a tad too many spelling errors to my liking....


Later in the evening I went to see Fam Irvoll's show in Kongresshallen at Youngstorget. The place was cramped and hot and flowing over with bloggers and "celebrities". I feel kind of claustrophobic in those kinds of settings - but I guess it just goes to show how little Norway is. The show was cool, though - but maybe a little bit like expected - and not in a good way. Feel like you know what's coming...Had a discussion with my colleague afterwards about what would be really refreshing; what if she suddenly turned minimalistic, with black or muted colours! But then again, the world is full of designers who do that already....

New sunglasses

Just ordered these sunglasses by Karen Walker from Carousel's online shop. They are called crazy tortoise, a name I find an extremely appropriate description of my life right now. Can't wait to get them home.

Promise to wear them every day.

Mysterious times

Ready to work...

Vital preparations

Been super busy working in the shop lately, but have also found time to do four fashion shoots the last month or so, so my blogging has really suffered I'm afraid. But here's a little peek at one of the shoots which was done in early June at a really remote "resting place"/garage for old trams, buses and trains.

Our inspiration was old film noir and the classic "whodunnit" crimes by Agatha Christie, especially "Murder on the Orient Express". We also hope to make our own version of the original artwork for that movie (see poster on top of page) for the title page of our story. Excited to see how it ends up!

Shoot at Hafslund Mansion

Last week we shot a story at the beautiful Hafslund Gods in Sarpsborg. One of the rooms was totally black, as you can see. Kind of a dark mood in this one...

Press Day at Kaare Lund

Went to the press day at Kaare Lund yesterday. So here are a few of my absolute favourite items....

Velvet and leather dress by Nina Jarebrink. The perfect materials for fall.

Sweater with leather patches from Hope.

Want these for fall! Boots from Hope.

The Row AW 10

The Row AW 10. Love the blackness. Love the long skirts. Love the cropped top teamed together with the sheer top. Again - love the blackness. The fall can come whenever it wants.

Australian Fashion

Found yet another Australian favourite when I stopped by the newsagent on my lazy Sunday today. I already love Russh, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I love this one too..

A taste of A/W-10

Today I went to the press days at Patriksson and Spalt PR with my friend Sigrid from Adam & Eva. Nice vibes for the autumn....

Dresses by Kjersti Vatle at Spalt last seen on the catwalk at OFW soundtracked by Miss Harmonica: "One for the fashion.....".

Fell in love with the leather head-piece by Swedish designer Carin Wester.

Shoes from Carin Wester at PatrikssonPR

Shoot at Sognsvann

This Sunday was spent shooting a fashion story in the woods at Sognsvann. It was cold, but refreshing, and hopefully the story will be in a magazine some time in the near future.

Dream space

Yesterday was my day off, so went to my favourite book store in Paleet in Oslo. I love to just browse without looking for anything special. Found this book on Berlin by Taschen, and as I flipped through the pages I found the hotel room of my dreams, called Pension Funk.

Wanted!

Sandals from TopShop. My lovely friend Silje - will you send them to me? Anything you want from Norway?

The Gentlewoman

Stumbled across this new magazine. Really like it.

Parisian beauty

Found her on thesartorialist.com. Love her strong eyebrows and the camel coat. Will get me a camel coat within days. Watch this spot.

Cats in the sun

These are my friends from my neighbourhood. I often talk to them on my way to work.
