The ferry boat coat.

Say hello to my new Nanette Lepore coat!



Words cannot describe how much I adore it, just look at the pretty details:



And, I can wear it closed with a brooch, or open:




Tomorrow I'm off to England to visit my friend C.Elizabeth, and that's going to be just wonderful, I'm sure! I'm going to take my computer with me and will try to do some blogging while I'm there, but sadly I don't know if I'll have enough time replying to all your comments (you should just know how much I appreciate every single one of them!) - so if I don't, I'll make up for it when I get back again.

Yellow...

Hello everyone,
sorry about the long absence. I've been studying for my exam that I had today, and I decided that the only way I could devote myself completely to studying, I had to lay off blogging for a little bit. Nevertheless, I'm back now, and happy that my summer holiday's now started (although I do have to start thinking about my master thesis) - which will hopefully be great. How have all of you been doing?

This is what I wore on Saturday:

Dress from Noa Noa, cardigan from H&M, tights from Kappahl, and shoes from Benetton.

Red hair inspiration.

From Torpore

Lately I've been quite fascinated with these beautiful pictures I've come across on flickr - of  redheaded girls. Red hair is so lovely, and so intriguing. These pictures also make me long for red hair myself, to be frank. However, I think I'm going to keep my blonde hair for a little while longer...

Mustard yellow, black and soft pink...

... is a really wonderful colour combination, in my opinion, and those are also the colours my outfit today composes of. 





Dress from H&M, blouse and shoes from Noa Noa, tights from Vero Moda, and bow from Quietland.

My new 40s dress.

I wore this vintage dress from the 40s yesterday - one I recently won on ebay. I think it's so pretty with the lace collar and the lace on the sleeves.

In my backyard.

Hello,
I am sorry for neglecting my blog for nearly a week, but I've been rather busy with a conference, finishing a paper and enjoying the lovely weather we had. But now I'm back, for the time being!
I took these pictures this afternoon in my backyard - it's now cloudy and rainy and not pretty and sunny as it has been for days and days.

Top and tights from H&M, skirt from Gina Tricot, hair piece from Bianco and boots from Bronx.

I also thought I'd show you my national costume I wore on Sunday - Norway's constitution day.


Also, I received two wonderful awards.

Thank you so much, dearies! I'm passing these on to whoever wants them... I'm too tired to tag anyone now.

Pretty bows.

A few days ago I bought these ever so pretty bows from Bianco, that I thought I'd show you. I'm thinking of going back and buying more colours, perhaps.

The old farm

There is an old, abandoned farm where I live (technically now belonging to the museum though), which I think is really very charming and pretty. I often go for walks there.


There is also a deep forest behind it.



I wish more houses had grass on their roofs today.
