H&M jacket and suede studded belt | Cubus tunic | Adder bite ring | Nelly boots

The hot weather took a break and the tights and jackets are making their comeback. This is very typical May weather here. Unstable. But I guess that makes us appreciate the good days even more.

When I wear this ring out clubbing people think I’m wearing a fashionable fighting glove. Its’s a good thing I have an innocent looking face to weight up for the bad fighting image that might evolve huh..

Taste of summer

Finals, finals, finals. Only one more to go. Last week was a week of summer. Lovely! 
Here in Norway we aren’t excactly spoilt with warm weather in May so it was fantastic.

Way Magazine 2

 H&M tunic | Parents shirt | Fashionology.nl bracelet | Lindex bag | Sam Edelman boots

You can view the full feature here. I can’t say if this shirt belongs to my Mom or Dad as they bought the same shirt when they were popular in the 80s. Most of the clothes they have saved are from that decade due to space problems when moving around in their younger days. My Dad was fashion interested just like me when he was younger, while my Mom.. not so much. And she’s still not. So I have nobody to understand, and support, my the ever growing need for new shoes.

New shades

Gina Tricot sunglasses

I’m always having trouble finding sunglasses that go with my round face, but these fit me surprisingly well. 
I like that they are quite large and look kind of futuristic. And I must add that they look a lot better on.

H&M striped blazer | Mom’s jumpsuit | Fashionology necklaces | Dad’s belt | Office boots

Part one of some shots I was featured with in Way Magazine, a Chinese mag, under the theme Parents Vintage. Thank you Stella Cheng! I will show you the digital version of the feature when posting part two.

My Mom actually made this jumpsuit herself back in the 80’s. She had a car which she crashed. For the insurance money she got herself a bike instead.  Later on someone stole her bike, and for the money she then got she bought a sewing machine. In this period she made a lot of clothes herself, including this jumpsuit. I must say she did an excellent job. It fits me like a hand in a glove.

Big Jet Plane

Angus and Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane

I wouldn’t complaint if someone came and took me away on a big jet plane right now.
Can’t wait for these finals to be over. My mind is filled with a chaos of words flying around.

Floral uniform

H&M jacket | Gina Tricot floral dress | Acne Pistol Short boots | Black Lily bag

I had actually forgotten about this jacket and was thrilled to rediscover it in my closet. It’s so nice! I got it last year, and I have one more in the size 36 as well, as they were out of 34 when I first purchased it. I got to use it one time before I found it in a 34. They obviously had it restocked. I will add the one in 36 for sale here later when I have time. My closet is too stuffed so I will probably add some more items as well.

Black’n blue

Nasty Gal Wang-a-like jacket

Naty Gal is one of my favorite web shops. They’re always updated on trends and has a lot of great basics as well. In addition to selling new items they also have a vintage section. Plus their styling is truly inspiring in itself. I did a little web shopping today, and I must say that shopping online is the closest to Christmas feeling I get. Having to wait excitingly for the packages to come by mail and to then open them up, pulling out one item after the other. Ahh those small pleasures in life. Haha
