r.a.n.d.o.m

my vulgar fun fake fur out for a test drive, grocery shopping at the local Whole Foods!

MOMA. I'd love for this pretty painting by Lee Krasner to hang on my wall!

Warhol - the real deal, not some cheap poster..
(I know - geeky picture, but there's no denying - I was a tourist!)

I miss you guys already!

Please get this industry to Oslo, perfect manicure for next to nothing!

Back in Oslo my head is spinning, my toes freezing and my work related stress beginning to resurface! Gotta keep calm, my 2010 is going to be zen!

animal print for NYE

Bought this Diane von Furstenberg dress at Scoop in Meatpacking the other day. Love the rich velvet and a-symmetrical shape. Animal print has never really been my thing, but I find my self buying it more lately. I especially love the styles where the print is more obscure, like on this dress. It can also be worn as a top, which will work nicely with black leather leggings. I also bought a leopard print fake fur, (not obscure at all!!) at Century 21 just for fun! I feel almost vulgar wearing it, but love it at the same time. Makes me think of Alabama in the movie True Romance, her style was definitely tacky, but also cool in a way! Might post a pic of the jacket later.. Time to get ready for "the last supper" of 2009, cheers to the new year!

dust. light. nature. spring.

Iselin Steiro in Acne Paper. Good combo - great result! I bought a cotton tanktop-dress from Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair (similar in fabric and color to the one in the top picture) a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait for spring.. it is almost full length and will be great worn with flat boots. pics via fashion gone rogue

Helmut Lang scoop

Got these HL leather pants at Intermix so cheap yesterday it's ridiculous. Haven't been this excited about a purchase in a long time! Dree Hemingway is a tad too skinny, but looks very cool in her winter attire in the first pic, I must say. New York is freezing today, but we braved the cold and went to the Rockefeller Center and Times Square before we had lunch at Pastis in Meatpacking which was all great. Leaving NYC tomorrow, but plan on a trip back in May. Pics: google & altamiranyc

Opening Ceremony

Went to Opening Ceremony on Howard St. last night alone to do some shopping. Struggled by busy Chinatown to get there and was so happy to find it when I finally did. This store sells Chloe Sevigny's own line, Erin Wasson's RVCA line and carries both Rodarte and Alexander Wang to name a few. They even sell Whyred, Rika and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, which I guess is quite exclusive over here.. Well, the sales are on and I was sure to at least make one good bargain, but didn't! Everything I wanted was sold out in my size. I left with a book about personal style by Amanda Brooks and was kind of bummed. I still recommend the store to anyone coming here who like contemporary fashion. And to make up for the lack of bargains yesterday I bought some really nice things at Intermix on Bleecker today that I might show later. Tomorrow my wallet is [CLOSED - please come back another day!], which means it's time for sightseeing! Pic via google

little things

I've stacked up on cute undies from Victoria's Secret and Gap, bought a spiky bracelet at Topshop and splurged on a scented candle from Diptyque that smells of fig. And finally I found a hat with the prefect fit, quality and color at Comptoir des Cotonniers on Spring Street. Just little things to make me happy!

Cupcake heaven

Stopped by Magnolia bakery on Bleecker street yesterday. Such a cute place, though the latte was not very good. I'm such a picky coffee drinker. Also went to the new Topshop (which was great), LF Stores, Bloomingdales, Scoop & Intermix. But I didn't do too much shopping yesterday as the the sales will most likely explode on the 26th of Dec. Today we're going back to Princeton for some last minute gift shopping. Happy holiday!

MTWTFSS here I come!

Really want the Stine Goya for Weekday jacket at the top!! Hopefulle I'll find some other good buys too. Pics: weekday.se

Givenchy & Gothenburg

I'm off to Gothenburg this weekend. Will look for this top at Weekday MTWTFSS. Not saying it's nearly as perfect as the Givenchy top miss Vanessa Traina is wearing, much because the neckline and arms on hers are far more interesting, but the Weekday one has plenty of use anyways... Will post a longer Weekday wishlist later. I'm after some of the pieces from the Stine Goya collaboration too!

Sonia Rykiel pour H&M

Jeg gleder meg til lørdag. I heart Sonia Rykiel! I går ble det avholdt et forrykende show i Paris med motevisning, gallamiddag og celebre gjester. Jeg leste akkurat at Stephanie fra Anywho.dk var tilstede på arrangementet. Hvor ble det av min invite? Den må ha blitt borte i posten... Undertøyskolleksjonen slippes lørdag, mens den strikkede kolleksjonen kommer først i februar.

Beige suits my mood

November is always kind of "blah" if you ask me. Right now my Chanel Particulière nailpolish and my new Carin Wester cardigan are the only things that excite me besides good friends... Come December! I can't wait for x-mas in NYC/NJ! Pics: google & carinwester.com

Finally here!

Ever since I saw Kate wearing this dress I've wanted it to be me mine. When I realized it was from her Topshop collection I started looking for it online. Even though Topshop finally ships to Norway I ended up buying it new from a lady in Paris via eBay so that I wouldn't have to pay in customs.. The dress has now travelled from Paris to my old address in LA (by mistake), but finally arrived in my mailbox here in Oslo yesterday, just in time for the party season. I've waited for so long, months (eBay-shopping can be damn frustrating at times)! BUT it's perfect, so I'm just happy it finally made it home.. Pics: google

Made for walking!

Love that flat boots like these are in style right now. They work better with my lifestyle and job than high heels. The hunt for the perfect pair is never ending... Pics: tfs

UGO CACCIATORI

The ring in the bottom I wear almost every day.. Would like more pieces from this designer. UGO CACCIATORI makes rad jewelry! Pics: borrowed from the PARISTEXAS blog.

Add a little lace to touch it up...

This little lace jacket will work nicely with my new pants and a tank top... Not sure if it's what I'll wear tonight yet, but time to get changed and start sipping some wine. Later then!

Jimmy Choo for H&M

I did not bother to line up this morning as I hate lines, but got these two things when I went by a little later in the day. Leather leggings (with stretch) at 1499,- is a bargain! The tee is mens, cause I love slouchy t-shirts, I believe it cost 199,- Monday is the last chance for customers who bought stuff today to return things, so if you're after something you didn't get, Monday is a good day to go hunting!

Romslig følgesvenn..

Veskefavoritt akkurat nå! Denne vesken, i svart, ble min for en billig penge da Holzweiler hadde vareprøvesalg for en tid tilbake. Den er akkurat passe røff og anonym og i tillegg rommer den alt pikk-pakkeriet jeg drasser med meg til enhver tid. Love it! (Ikke at den måler seg med vesken under, men det er viktig å glede seg over det man har!) Er du misunnelig skal den være i butikk nå, merket er Black Lily.

On my x-mas wishlist!

Hello Diego! Alexander Wang er fremdels et geni i mine øyne. Digger kombinasjonen av svart/mørkeblå/suede/skinn!!! Kanskje dukker den opp under treet med påskrift; Til: Julie, Fra: Julienissen... Bilde fra brownsfashion via fashionflash.

New dress, oh yes!

Bought this delightful little party dress at the Acne store yesterday. Can't wait to wear it.. One dress in my closet that isn't black, yay me! Pic: Acnestudios.com

On my x-mas wishlist

Still haven't seen The September Issue... But I know, from just having read Vogue since forever, that Grace Coddington is a genius. I'm putting her book on my x-mas wishlist.
