Prep, zipper details and a hint of sportiness.

God ettermiddag!

Det har vært veldig deilig med fri idag, og ikke minst å få tilbringe dagen med gubben. Det er egentlig litt greit at vi kan få fredagen sammen når han er hjemme for helgen, og jeg jobber i morgen. Jobber 12-20 så da går mesteparten av den lørdagen. Vi har hatt en veldig fin dag sammen!

Ellers så har jeg tenkt litt på klesstil i de siste dagene. Jeg kjenner at jeg savner skjorter og genser stilen veldig, og synes synd på alle skjortene som henger i skapet. Jeg var jo helt hekta på å kjøpe skjorter en gang, og jeg er fortsatt veldig glad i preppy stilen. Uten at den blir alt for American preppy. Skjorter under gensere er bare utrolig stilfullt. 

Samtidig er det andre elementer jeg også kunne tenkt å dra med mer inn i klesskapet i 2016. Jeg elsker jo hullete bukser, strikkede gensere, glidelås detaljer. Jeg synes det er innmari kult å kombinere det formelle og hverdagslige. Og jeg liker innslag av litt sportslig stil. Går alt dette ann å kombinere? Vel, ut i fra de bildene jeg har funnet som inspirasjon idag så er svaret et rungende JA. 

I've been thinking about my style a lot lately, and I have some thoughts of what I want to bring into my wardrobe during 2016. I've always loved the preppy look with shirts underneath sweaters, and I feel sorry for all the shirts that just collecting dust in my wardrobe. They need to come out in the light again. I also want to bring in more zipper details, ripped jeans and elements of the sporty trend. Can all these be matched into one style? From the inspirational pictures I've collected the answer is a big YES.

Flashback: Outfits 2011

Hei og god lørdag!

Det er frihelg og egentlig ganske forbanna deilig. Jeg er så heldig at jeg trives så utrolig godt på jobb, og nå for tiden er det ekstra artig. Men, det er deilig med et lite avbrekk innimellom. I pysjamas og med en kopp kaffe. Men det blir ikke lenge, idag skal jeg ut å se om butikkene i Trondheim kan tilby noen flotte jule/nyttårskjoler. Om ikke, bestiller jeg fra nelly i kveld.

Men, dette er jo et tilbakeblikks innlegg. Og jeg har i noen år vært utrolig flink å kartlegge stilen, selvfølgelig i for av outfitsbilder. Året 2011 har jeg nesten slike bilder annen hver dag. Jeg hadde heldigvis kommet jeg ut av den gremmelige stilen jeg hadde i 2010 og begynt å beherske sminke og løsvipper litt bedre. Jeg hadde ikke helt kommet meg ut av den i starten av året da, men her kan dere virkelig se utviklingen og forbedringen utover året. 

VÅR 2011

SOMMER 2011

HØST/VINTER 2011

Noen av de antrekke på siste bolke må jeg si jeg kunne ha gått med idag. Bare med annet tilbehør og hårsveis. Savner også det å bruke strømpebukser med mønster, den med tatoveringsmønster var jo bare utrolig rå (antrekk m/grønn kjole). Ser og det er mange plagg jeg nå angrer på at jeg ikke har i skapet lengre. Og jeg er nesten nøgd til å skaffe meg noen støveletter som er minst kneehøye. 

Det minner meg litt på om at jeg må tørre litt mer. Det er jo det jeg alltid har stått for, å tørre å prøve og å tørre å gå i det jeg vil. Ikke det jeg føler samfunnet dikterer at jeg skal gå med. Selvfølgelig blir jeg jo eldre, smaken min forandrer meg, jeg har andre forpliktelser, men jeg står fortsatt for det samme. Så jeg finner litt inspirasjon i å se på disse bildene. 

Flasback outfits 2011: I had started to develop a good personal style after trying out a lot. I was still a bit caught up in the messy crazy style i had during 2010, but had started to get the hang of make-up and coordinations of clothing. You can really see the development through the year. At the last bulk of pics, there are outfits I could wear today. Just with different accessories of course. 

Looking though this reminds me what I stand for. To dear to try out and to wear what I want. Not what the society around me dictates that I should wear. And even though I get older, and my style change, and I prioritize different, I still stand for the same. So I find a lot of inspiration watching these pic. 

A later than late outfit

Bedre sent en aldri, sant? Fikk virkelig ikke en god start på dagen, og trengte kvalitetstid med min kjære, godteposen og tv'en. Og ikke minst xbox, ingenting er som å spille Skyrim for å få glemme ting man helst vil slippe å tenke på. Så, det bre en bra dag til slutt! Og for å gjøre den enda bedre tenkte jeg å få postet dette herlige fluffie antrekket før jeg tok kveld. 

[[Beanie - Gina Tricot // Earrings - Claire's // Sweater - Gina Tricot // Pants - Vero Moda // Bracelets - Claire's // Shoes - Din Sko // Lips - Victoria Secret lipgloss]]

Så herlig når det er sol, og dagslyset som kommer inn endrer seg

Better late than never right? Had a very bad start on this day, so I just needed to spend the evening with my better half, a bag of sweets and the tellie. And the xbox of course, it is a life saver when you want to get your mind on something else. In the end it turned out to be a pretty good day. So to make it even better, I decided to do this post before going to bed.

Something yellow n' something paild Vol. 2

Joda, det lå vel kanskje i kortene etter inspirasjons innlegget at jeg kom til å planlegge ett antrekk og ta bilder av det. Og det ga jo mersmak, for det har hatt en positiv effekt på resten av dagen. Dette er jo noe jeg har likt å gjøre før, så hvorfor skulle jeg ikke like å gjøre det nå! Og det jeg selv elsker mest med dette antrekket må vel være museflettene - med en liten vri. Og kan ikke utelukke å nevne at dette er første gangen jeg har på meg neon shortsen jeg fikk av en god venninne i sommer. Jammen på tide!

[[Caps - gifted // Earrings - Claire's // Shirt - New Look // Shorts - Gifted // Tights - New Look // Shoes - Din Sko // Lipstick - E.L.F Barley Bitten]]

My favourite thing about this outfit must be the hairstyle - so quirky and cute! And I am happy I finally managed to wear the neon yellow shorts a dear friend gave me this summer - about time! Never know what to match with it, but I think a plaided shirt works superb to it!

She said oversized sweater and pencil skirts was cool.

Gjett om det er irriterende at jeg glemte å ta med meg stativet oppover til Stavset. Jeg hadde jo planlagt å ta på meg noe som var verdt å ta bilde av. Så jeg måtte improvisere litt og det får bare gå for denne gangen. Jeg har en venninne som nevnte at oversized gensere over skjørt var stilig så tenkte jeg måtte prøve selv. Fin måte å ikke føle seg overdressed men casual og komfortabel i et pencil skirt.

Som du sikkert ser har det skjedd en aldri så liten forandring på bloggdesignet. Jeg har lenge hatt lyst til å gjøre bredden på bildene større, samt ordne opp i sidemenyene. Og jeg har endelig orket å ta tak i det faktum at blogspots default ramme rundt alle bildene var plagsomt, og fant css coden for å få det bort. Hurra! Det ser så mye bedre ut nå. Hva synes du?

Ellers har jeg idag søkt på noe som føles ut som tusen jobber, og minst sendt ett par hundre eposter. Energinivået går i berg og dal bane fortiden, og selv om jeg har gjort fornuftige ting, klarer jeg fortsatt ikke å riste av meg følelsen av at jeg har fått gjort det jeg skal. MEN, det kommer en dag imorgen.  Og det viktigste av alt er jo å ikke gi opp. Nå blir det å gjøre seg klar for senga mens Mavericks OS'en installerer seg. Gleder meg til å sjekke den ut imorgen. Natta~

I have a friend who mentioned that she thought that matching oversized sweater with pencil skirt was cool - so I had to try it! And I have changed the design some.  The biggest changes are the new header and bigger pictures. And I have applied for what feels like thousands of jobs adverts and I cant quite shake the feeling that there is something more I should do. But there is a day tomorrow, and the most important thing is to never give up! Now I'm going to get ready for bed while installing the Mavericks OS.

Strong Orange

Phew, finally finished editing the second outfit video I've ever made. Once again it took a long time, and it is due to little motivation. You get pretty demotivated to do anything when job hunting and never getting and answer from anywhere you have applied. Oh well, some good music is making me in good mood again. Hope you enjoyed this, and please comment & tell me what you think!

Outfit on videotape

So, it is almost a week since I shoot this, but since I never am getting satisfied with how the video looks I'll just share it. I am totally new at EDITING videos so I guess I'll learn stuff along the way. And do turn the quality on full - and let me know what you think ;)

Jeg filmet dette for snart en uke siden men har aldri klart å bli fornøyd med den redigerte videoen, så jeg stopper bare for denne gang og deler den sånn som den er nå. Jeg står på helt bar bakke når det kommer til å redigere videoer, det har jeg aldri gjort før. Jeg vil sikkert lære noen triks etter hvert. Oh skru opp kvaliteten på max - og fortell meg hva dere synes :)

Unused lovely pieces united~

Own some pretty pieces of clothing but don't know how to use them? Don't throw them away, one day they might be the perfect fit. Got this skull top as a present from a dear friend, and I loved and love it, but have never quite figured out what to match it with. The skirt is one of the first pencil skirts I bought when I started to get interested in that shape and cut. Both unused until yesterday, both a perfect match for each other. 

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday~

Bohemian summer, where have you gone?

Today is was officially 1 week until I am moving home. And just three more nights until I am standing at Birmingham Airport waiting for M to arrive. Can't believe my last week in UK is already here. The degree show is going steady, and today I went for a run after it closed for the day.

On Saturday I went to Revive Hair Artist to cut my hair, and was happily told I didn't need to cut more than a couple of centimetres - in spite of not having cut it since June last summer! I must have done something right. Tomorrow I will go back to colour my hair. Getting the blond part dyed to match my roots aka my original hair colour. I am keeping my tips dark tho~!

I have one wish, Norway, and that is that you keep holding on to that good summer weather till I come home! Or at least spare something for later to me.

Eye sight check: Read the first line.

Seems like I can't do an outfit without a beanie. I blame the grey and cold British summer weather. But shhh, don't tell it. It is actually sunny today and above 10 degrees. Hopefully it is not going to cloud over soon by the time this is posted and I am in Birmingham enjoying a bubble tea with S.
Hope everyone is having a good Saturday~!

Attitude, K.

Oh my I am in love with this top. It is long, got a sporty print, big plus for stars on the sleeve - and it is red! I was in seriously need of a coloured top. I have to much grey, black and white. Need something to brighten up the "collection"!

Also wearing my nerdy Gok Wan reading glasses here! 

And you might have noticed; my lovely accessories organiser isn't on my wall any more. It decided that the load was to heavy and dropped down yesterday. Not fun. Neither the sound of the crash or untangling necklaces afterwards. It might be a sign I have to much? How on earth am I going to get everything home...

I don't know about you, But I....

Shouldn't play music while taking outfit pictures.... 

Apparently it is not only my door thats skew, just look at the lines of the walls and roof. My roof is skew! Or, maybe I just have a crappy lens? Anyway, can't fantom why I haven't taken pictures like this before - no zoom, no struggle to get the right height.  Only hazard is potential mess lying around.

Anyways, it feels good to snap outfit pictures again. Missed it. A LOT. Want to know what something I'm wearing is from? Check out m Chictopia post :)

Forever Flowers~

Yesterday, I was in Birmingham with Shirley & a friend. After doing some errands we had, we decided to go to the Bullring and have a look. It didn't take long before we where at Forever21, and let me tell you, we spent about 2 hours there. The store is so incredible big and amazing. Found my bikini for the summer there, but that is for another post.

What this is about is me always having wanted and dreamt about jeans/trousers with flower patterns. And I have seen many, many good ones, many horrible ones, and many that I didn't want. But that was until I came to Forever21 and found these. I am in love. 

I can now face the summer with my own floral patterned jeans. And the best is the colour combination. Dark undefinable grey and neon flowers. I love the neon trend this year~

Challenge: Detail #2

So much for being back stronger the next day. I should have know that upon returning to Trondheim I would rather sleep some hours with M, eat and relax with M, game and order pizza with M and go to the cinema to watch G.I.Joe: Retaliation with M - rather than updating my blog.

Anyways, upon returning I finally got my hands on the packages I have ordered. Which of course had to arrive when I was away. In one there was a wireless remote system for my Nikon D3100, and in the other there where screen protectors and cases for my iPhone 5. Now, the cases might not be style related to how I dress up, but it is still related to my style. This is how I want my iPhone to look through spring and summer. I love the bright colours!

Now M is going to work & I am getting ready to meet up with a friend and go and eat/drink coffee. And later tonight I am getting a visit from another friend, and I am going to try and pack some clothes.

Have a nice day, everyone :)

Challenge: Style detail #1

I had a wonderful chat with a dear friend about blogging, and we where giving each other ideas about what to blog about. During that conversation I got this idea of a challenge for myself. Last year when I realised my blog was only about my outfits I challenged myself to take pictures of something else every day and post it. This year I got the opposite problem, my blog is about everything else than my style and my passion for expressing myself though clothes. So I am reversing the challenge. 

I am challenging myself to take pictures related to my style and post it... Almost everyday. I am saying almost everyday because due to university and work load I know I wont be able to do so every day. And it might be photos of a lip stick, something I bought last week or yesterday, or a favourite piece of clothing. Basically anything from my closet or stuff that I have that is related to my style. And it may have a lot of text and rambling, or no text at all. What do you think?

So, here is challenge #1:

I got this gloves from the same dear friend I mentioned above. I must say I was quite surprised when she said "I got a gift for you" followed by pulling these up from her bag. She was dissatisfied by how they fitted on the hands, and knew how much I liked them. And I wasn't going to say no. I love these babies. I am not a glove shopper, is not a typical item for me to get. But I still love a good pair of chic and stylish gloves.
