Standing on the sun

Procrastination: a word that perfectly describes my weekend. I don't know why but I can't get myself to do anything productive (read: studying for the three tests I have next week + my LV3 exam .. ). It's also waaay too long since last blog post. I think I'm suffering from the not-being-able-to-dance-disease due to my lower back problems. Well, hopefully I'll be back on the dancefloor soon! Let's cross our fingers for my finals sake.

Petroleum

Knit - Petroleum / Skirt - H&M / Leather boots - Eram / Ear rings - Accessorize

These photos are from a photoshoot I did with GONES Photographies in November. I think this is a great look when you want to dress up while it's cold outside. The chunky sweater add some volume to the outift and help you keep warm, while a pair of high boots prevent you from getting your feet cold. Combine it with thight bottoms such as a pencil skirt or skinny pants and add some sparkle in form of jewelry! As my sweaters neckline is high I decided to go with some big ear rings and pinned up my hair to show them off. A new years eve look maybe ?

The Blues

Shirt - Diesel (second hand) / Vegan leather pants - Blank Denim / Boots (here with black sole) - Acne / Hat - H&M / Bracelets - Brandy Melville + Hand made

I just love mixing materials. Velour and leather can be such a great combo if combined the right way! And these pants are truefully the best vegan leather pants I've ever tried on, and the only pair I've ever bought. This is the type of clothing you can't buy if it don't fit perfectly.. I acually ordered these on-line because of their great reviews even though I'm really sceptical to buying pants without trying them on first, but I'm so happy I did! 

This weekend I have a lot going on. It's the Fête des Lumières in Lyon, and even though the temperature has dropped drastically these last two weeks I'm counting on going out one night to see the lights. I'm going to a birthday party tomorrow, and else my weekend schedule is filled with brunches and coffee dates - and hopefully some dance rehearsals - in the middle of all the "practical" things I have to do. Have a great weekend!

Big thanks to Guillaume for the amazing photos!

The last conspiracy - Chelsea boot

So far, two things have happened this weekend: I picked up these beauties at the post office and I spent my entier Saturday at an education fair/going through all the brochures I came home with. There's not much time left now before I have to start sending in applications! Well, that's why I didn't post this post yesterday.  And the reason why there haven't been a lot post lately is because.. well, you know; I'm working my ass off. BUT due to a serie of lucky events, all my classes are canceled tomorrow and Tuesday is a public holiday in France so I've a well deserved extended weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to Dantesk with some friends. Really looking forward to it!

Anyway, I've been looking for the perfect pair of chelsea boots a long time. When I found these at the last conspiracy on sale for only 80€ I was quick to click them home. The sole on my pair is much darker than the ones pictured at their web-page, but as all their shoes are handcrafted there might be slight variations within a model. Personally I think that's the charm though! If you love them as much as I do, you can  buy them here.

Hello November!

Jacket - Mexx / Shirt - Issue 1.3 / Shorts - Stradivarius / Bag - second hand / Boots - Airstep / Sunglasses - NLY Accessories

November is here! I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. November means that there's no way the summer temperatures are coming back, that there's plenty of work and exams laying ahead and - most importantly - we can start to count down the days until christmas. I'm at the end of my vacation and feel about as rested as I'll get before school starts up again. I've spent a good time in Lyon these last two weeks, but I start to feel that it's about time to get back home to Norway again. While waiting for the 20th December I still have some cafés to drink, some concerts to go to and some apéros to do. I'll survive ! Haha

Hope you all spent a good time last night!

New things to come

Dress - Milieu / Sweater - Diesel / Boots - Minelli / Bag - Lumi / Rings - H&M

I came back to Lyon night to Sunday. Summer is over and I had to go back to school, even I would love to have an extra couple of weeks left of my vacation. Today was the first day of my last school year here in Lyon. I can't believe how fast the time has passed! I've been spending my days after I arrived at packing out and preparing for the new school year - that's why I've been a bit absent lately... I still have a lot of photos from this summer I haven't had the time show you yet, so there's still some summery outfits coming up.

I'd totally forgotten about these photos! They were taken in the end of January so it was about time I got them up on the blog. But better late than never, right? They got me thinking that I should use my lace blouse more often. Weird how we forget about our old clothes as our closet is filling up with new ones.. Should probably take some time to look through what I have. Tonight I'm going to the theatre and afterwards I have to make a quick stop at my place before going to a friend of mine who's hosting a dinner. I should probably get ready, so I'll talk to you later!

Happy New Year

Today is the beginning of a new year, the first of many days to come. When I look back at last year I have a lot to be thankful for. It's been a year filled with new experiences, friendships and wisdom. I'm thinking about posting a photo recap of my 2013 - If you'd like one.

I thought about posting this yesterday, but as no one actually's using the computer on New Years Eve I found out it was better to wait untill today and enjoy the evening instead. As I'm going back to France tomorrow morning I'm trying to take advantage of the little time I got left with my family. When ( or if ) I'm able to close my suitcase, I'll be off watching a movie with my brothers and then I'll go out to take photos of the northern light with my father. I have some behind-the-scenes pictures from this shoot to show you as well.

Anyway, I hope this year will bring you plenty of exiting challenges and a lot of joy. Just think about all the good moments that's waiting for you! New friends, new music, new inspiration, new places, new sights... And when you're going through something tough and you don't know what to do, remember : Alt ordner seg for snille piker.

Happy New Year

Finally. I promise that I'm trying to update the blog as often as possible! It's not that easy though when I'm at school until 16-18.00 every day, have huge amounts of homework and are dancing seven hours per week, but I'm doing the best I can. 

Today I had some extra free between my classes, so I went with some friends to take a coffee and took advantage of the situation by asking Amira to take some photos for me agian (Thank you!). I wore the silk blouse I bought at Maché de la Mode Vintage last weekend and my new Aldo shoes. Love the pale blue color - perfect with rose gold! And the boots.. I'm still not over the fact that they're mine.

Norwegian Woods

Finally, I've got vacation (just in time - as I was about to drown in school work). So what am I doing the next two weeks? I'll be going back to Norway Tuesday morning, so that means I'll be catching up with friends and family and eating a lot of good food. Also I'll be working, teaching some dance classes at Pias and of course I'll be blogging as well. Though it's not too long since last time, it's always nice to come home. I can barely wait!

The pictures were taken just before I came down to Lyon in September, but I forgot all about posting them so now we're having a summer throwback here. I've heard some rumors about the weather in Bodø and I don't like it. I can't say I'm ready for snow just yet... Well, it's a good excuse for shopping some warm clothes though! I'll show you some of my favorite online-finds as soon as I'm able to pick out what I like the most. Is it just me or is it an unnormal amount of beautiful autumn pieces this season?

I'm wearing my moms old In Wear jacket and my favorite high-waist shorts with a loose black singlet. Making the outfit a bit more feminine by adding a touch of burgundy through my make-up. Ahh, I miss summer already.
