holiday getaway

Romper - BikBok * Clutch - Morris * Sunglasses - Gina Tricot * Belt and ring - H&M

I just love it when the suns pops out and everything's back to technicolor again (it's been raining endlessly here). It always makes me feel like dressing up as a rainbow, and well - here's the result! I absolutely fell in love with this clutch when I saw it and had to get it! I mean, doesn't it just work with everything, and give it a bright pop of color? The most important thing for me in the summer is comfortable, cool clothing with statement accesories.

stick with the greys

High-waisted shorts - H&M Conscious Collection * Tee - Apt.9 * Gladiator sandals - H&M * Hat - BikBok



Lately I've just been obsessed with wearing hats, especially fedoras. I think they are so cute, and they protect you from the sun (even though Norway isn't always that sunny!). The weather is improving though and I hope I can get a fair tan before summer ends!

Oh, and don't forget to check out my July Favorites video on Youtube!

blew me away

Sheer blouse - Lindex * Skirt and ring - H&M (last year) * Platforms - Nelly.com * Earrings - BikBok

My favorite part of summer is probably dressing up for the summer parties. Dresses, skirts, sheer clothing and sky-high heels. It's so fun to meet up with friends and meet new people without thinking about school, work and all that other stress. Unluckily for me school starts in less than two weeks, but nevertheless I am excited about starting at a new school. I am ready for a fresh start, and I feel like this year is gonna rock!

the BIRKIN

Birkin bag - Hermès * Dress - boutique in India * Earrings - my mom's

I don't even know what to write, I guess this bag speaks for itself. Am I right?

I just can't believe that I am the owner of my very own Hermès Birkin bag. I've always wanted one, but I never thought I would be carrying one on my arm some day. It feels totally surreal. My grandparents bought it for me, and I can't even express my gratitude. I took these shots outside their house after we brought my new "baby" home, and I was so excited I didn't even bother to peel the plastic off!

Whoever said material things don't bring happiness has never carried a Birkin!

maximum potential

Maxi-dress, sunglasses and necklace - H&M * Wedges - Regal (India)

Back in India this maxi-dress was a lifesaver. It's simple, patterned (leopard prints in my heart) and has a beautiful crochet detail on the upper back. I have a little weakness for maxi-dresses and skirt because they make me look oh-so-tall and slim.

Also be sure to check out my newest video on my Youtube channel!

kaftans & flowers

Kaftan and necklace - H&M

This kaftan is one of my favorite tops from my whole closet. It's so loose and sheer, and perfect for almost any occasion. It is so versatile that I have worn this as a dress, a tunic, a cover-up and a top. Even though this kept me cool in the incredibly hot weather in India, it was so humid that my hair looked like cotton candy. I really had to do something about it, so I trimmed my hair and thereby chopping off my ombre ends. I'm going to miss them, but it was time for a change.

As I wrote on a post a while ago I am starting a fashion/beauty-youtube channel. I finally posted my first video, and you can check out my YOUTUBE CHANNEL right here! I hope you guys enjoy my videos.

urban jungles amongst us

Shirt - Lindex * gifted Shorts - Cubus * Sunglasses - H&M (last year) * Shoes and bracelet - random stores in India

This was the outfit I wore on one of the first days I spent in India. Even though it was burning hot, I had to cover up. My initial idea was to wear shorts and a cami, but my mom quickly reminded my that it is important to also protect your skin with clothing (because the Indian sun will give you a mean sunburn!).

I also want to thank all of you for sending out your regards in my last post about the terror attack in Oslo. It really means a lot that you guys care. ♥-s for everyone!

Also I have started a FACEBOOK page! Like it and see extra pictures that didn't "make the cut" and ask me about anything you'd like!

OSLO 22/07/11

By now I believe that most of you have heard the devastating news about the Oslo terror attack that took place yesterday, 22 July. This happened so incredibly close to me, and influenced me so deeply because it affected people I knew and their acquaintances.

Yesterday around 3.30 pm in downtown Oslo there were news about an explosion at the goverment building. My first reaction was that I thought this was a joke on twitter, but then I turned on the tv and saw several reports on the case. There had been an explosion in the prime minister's office, and people had been injured and possibly lethally. This was a shock for not only Norway, but the whole world. How did it happen, who did it, and last of all why?

I sat and watched the news and kept myself updated on the Internet to see if any questions were answers. After a couple of hours there were reports of shooting at Utøya, where there was currently a youth camp for politically engaged teenagers. We were all already traumatized over the fact that there had been an explosion, and then an even more horrible story breaks out. A man dressed as a police officer said that he had to visit Utøya for a check-up after the explosion. This man then engaged in shooting the teens who were there. He took many innocent lives, wounded several people and traumatized a whole nation. This man had no regrets as he smilingly was escorted away by police after one and a half hour of mass murdering teenagers.

A friend of mine was at Utøya at the youth camp when the shooting happened. She luckily survived and explains that she must have had a guardian angel. You can read her story here,(in Norwegian) and read how horrible this experience was for the people on Utøya during the shooting.

Yesterday was a terrible day for Norway, but we are a strong people and we will not be brought down by this horrible action but rather let it strenghten us. Over 90 people did not die in vain. I trust in the wise words of our prime minister Jens Stoltenberg - "Vi er en liten, men stolt nasjon. Ingen skal få bombe oss til taushet." (We are a small, but proud nation. No one shall bomb us to silence.)

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the injured, their families and the people that lost their lives during this tragic event.
