i blame you

dagbladet

dagens dagbladet forside fikk meg (nok en gang) til å se svart. jeg er faen meg så lei norsk selvgodhet. tror jeg må rømme landet snart.

people have the power

a revolutionary theme song. to fit my mood. my rage against apathy. or just another excuse to post something patty smith. seems like i cant write, talk or do much without her presence these days. and oh ghees, the sound is so eighties - i get memory flashes from a long lost innocent childhood. its a little disturbing too. but patty smith herself is a little disturbing, gruffy and raw yet sexy somehow.

N.E.E.T

this online magazine aspire to showcase grassroot creativity - for me it works wonders as a great guide to onlineshopping, d.i.y style. a refreshing perspective indeed, as norwegian fashion magazines - well the one - seems to be few things more than a printed endorsement for net-a-porter.

i HATE pointy shoes

now. there. ive got that out of my system.

my one & only x-mas gadget

it was love. or at least as close as i`ve come - i purchased this truly adorable momiji snowdome today!

she came in colours

i wrote about samantha pleet a little while ago, but this video is so divine that she deserves a double post

new online store: beloved.net.au

check out this wonderful new online store for up and coming designers such as grace sun, natasha and jane & eleni.

kate hurst

after a couple of disappointing collections, imo, kate hurst is back with a stunning a/w 08 collection consisting of all the cute details that made me love her designs in the first place. and to roughen up the sweetness a little, among the ruffles and bows you find a stunning leather jacket. although the sequined cape seems to be creating a lot of lemmings, i am drooling over this little number

fugly cavalli for h&m

it was a sight of chaos when roberto cavallis collection for h&m hit the stores today, and apparently the collection is likely to be sold out before midnight. as much as i have accustomed myself to poor fashion, my stomach turns just thinking about spotting these garments around town in the next little stretch of time. because really, you will have to search high and low to find a collection more FUGLY. not to mention that this is a collection that will make 99percent of the people wearing it look cheap and tacky, i mean imagine your co-worker at this years christmas party wearing one of the animal print dresses, too much cleavage, smooched red lippy, wasted on stilettos and a fake designer bag to go with. clearly not a sight for soar eyes, but the only vision i get from this collection. i guess there will be a few stray pieces left here and there, as well as stuff popping up on ebay - so feel free, i wont be outbidding you - thats for sure.

a keeper

following up on my previous posts
- if you want to get your feet a pair of fair-trade shoes, go get your self a pair of keeps! as they state on their website; All Keep products are cruelty free and produced in audited, certified factories. they make clothes and accessories too, but not nearly as cool as their shoes imo.

www.keepcompany.com, or kry - st.hanshaugen

80%20

So instead of A.P.C. go get your shoes at 80%20 - although I must admit I am not sure about production procedures here, I havent read anything negative and they are 100 percent cute!

no a.p.c.

i was going to get myself a pair of lovely blush tights from french label A.P.C. - no more. browse their website and you see they are collaborating with nike on a couple of pairs of sneakers. one needs to have some standards after all.

she wants to move

the blow playing in oslo tonight @ blå. yay

for aussies in oslo, or ex oz nordmenn: cat empire @ john dee next friday. not the biggest fan myself, but could be fun

oh my

we (rosenborg) just outclassed valencia - im over the moon

white stripes + lomo

check out the limited edition white stripes lomography cameras at http://www.lomography.com/whitestripes/ - make the impossible choice of a mel diana or jack holga! hopefully there are some left come by birthday next month, but somehow i doubt that very much.

Samantha Pleet

I adore Samantha Pleets designs and especially this I woke up with a dandy dress! Her collection of Rompers, or playsuits, are sure winners as well. Pluss the colour palette is perfect for fall...

SoKo

a little soccer rant

all officially starts today. Its the first Champions League match day, and its about half an hour to kick off. Rosenborg, my team for those of you not in the know, is playing Chelsea - an away match at Stamford Brigde - and the butterflies in my stomach seem to have moved from a ballet dance style to more salsa like craziness. People say come on! its Chelsea you cant expect much, some people even say you can expect much, you can expect a big loss. For me that is exactly why it matters, beating a team like Chelsea will feel so damn great, that a loss will feel equally horrible. Not that thats going to happen. Last week was a horrific one, in the two things that matter in life; soccer and politics, so fingers crossed my luck has changed. And now im off to put on the only uniform I will ever be comfortable wearing; my jersey and scarf.
but before i go - in other news;

• - yesterday i made carrot cake
• - my dream is soon becoming reality
• - windows are the new doors

belle de jour

this 1967 french classic should be on everyones watch list, if only for the fashion alone... & the always splendid catherine deneuve.

etsy

i like to think of myself as someone with a creative mind, but sadly lacking the hands-on artistic skills required to put my ideas into life. so imagine the thrill when, the other day, i came across etsy.com - there i can purchase the creative craftsmanship of those more capable at a really good price. like these cute paris pendants from Yaslani.

taken by trees

Coming out of stockholm, Taken by Trees debut album Open Field has certainly lived up to its hype. Victoria Bergsmans voice, former Concretes vocalist, is magically fragile, yet cheerful. Have a listen here.
