This is Norway 2#

1. Hanneli Mustaparta: Norway's most known fashion blogger and my absolute favourite :).

2. Sara Strand: a very personal favourite. Her style is very simple, just the way I like it. She writes both in Norwegian and English.

3. Camilla Pihl :  this pretty Norwegian has found the perfect balance between sharing personal things, outfits and her cooking skills. Very diverse! She only writes in Norwegian.

4. Gine Margrethe maintains a nice and simple blog revealing her very appealing closet.

5. Style Devil: a blogger that definitely had to be on this list is Marian, the blogger behind StyleDevil. She has an incredibly edgy style which suits her great :).

Hanneli Mustaparta, Norway's most known fashion blogger, was the 

only Norwegian blogger I knew before moving here. I must admit that she is my absolute favourite: not only her style is flawless, minimalistic, simple and sophisicated but also the pictures she takes are mindblowing (Sorry for the overload of superlatives :-). 

I - being a fool - thought that the Norwegian blogosphere would be rather small. That is until I actually moved here and discovered the wide range of blogs this country has to offer. I selected my 5 favourites: they are absolutely worth taking a look at!

Printed

Prints, prints, prints, I just had to take this silky trousers home :-). The weather in Oslo has been wonderful the past few days, so I'm keeping it short because a barbeque is waiting!

See you, Sarah.

Grapefruit.

Wearing: American Vintage skirt, Cos T-Shirt, Zara Cardigan, Bensimon flats.

I always swore I would never ever buy one piece twice. That is until I bumped into this American Vintage skirt: it is pure perfection! I did buy it in 2 different colors: grapefruit and deep blue :-). A very basic holiday proof outfit...

A hungarian break.

I admit: when being on holiday, or on a city-trip in this case, I only think of blogging in terms of taking nice pictures to show you after the break :-). I spent the past 4 days in Budapest and it was lovely: good food, 25 degrees, home made pastries, a glass of cava, beautiful architecture and interesting museums. My cup of tea! You can expect some nice posts coming up with very summery outfits :-).

Back to basic.

Wearing: Cos top, Zara Jeans, Ganni Belt, Zara knit, Vans sneakers.

In the end it's all about basics, isn't it? The items we tend to wear most are those which are comfortable, easygoing, relaxing and mostly simple. At least in my case a good pair of jeans, sneakers and a striped top makes me feel perfectly at ease :-).

"Design a set of clothes matching the image of the new Citroën DS5": this was the task 5 Norwegian designers were given a couple of weeks ago. The price would be a 55,555 Nok voucher. My first thoughts according this theme were: How could they ever be able to design clothes inspired by a car? Which fabrics would they be using: leather? How would they integrate the image of the new Citroën into different silhouettes? 


Tuesday night Helje Hamre, L&J, Kevin Azzopardi, T-Michael and Mardou&Dean showed us each how they interpretered the given theme. Since I'm a big Mardou&Dean fan (their clothes are GORGEOUS) I was pretty excited to see what they had done... But I must say that it was the blue silhouette created by designer duo L&J which blew me of my feet. I'd love to jump into the new Citroën DS5 with this beauty on :-). 


Eventually, it was the in Bergen based designer Michael T. who won the contest with his very manly yet sophisticated suit. I must say that he picked his model very well: the perfect guy to wear his suit :-). 


Tusen takk This Is Pr for invitasjonen.

Inspiration: Susie Lau

All pictures from The Coveteur



The Coveteur is one of those websites I secretely spend hours on just strolling through the beautiful images of someone else`s shoe collection, vintage adoration or the most awesome designer pieces.

When they did a piece on Susie Lau, girl behind the internationally known blog StyleBubble, I found myself screaming of joy (and - I admit - there was some jealousy :-)) over her incredible closet. It`s so colorful, vibrant, big! and full of pieces I would love to wear myself. Could someone please send me those Nicholas Kirkwood shoes?
