Animal love

Me and Ruby. She's quite a cuddly little teddybear. And she makes me laugh, many times a day.
Animals are only good. That's what I love about them. No matter what, they have no hate or no harmful ways. Like my Ruby, she only gives me love and play. She could never give me anything negative, because negativity doens't live within her. It's not part of her vocabulary.
I'v e worked as a volunteer on a cat rescue shelter for a couple of years, and it's been very inspiring. Those are cats who has seen the worst part of humans, and they've had a very rough life. Still..all they give is positivity. When I have a bad day, they give comfort. Animals are caring, and so very inteligent beings. I suspect they are much more inteligent than us in some ways.

So, I think we as human beings must take care of our lovely fellow creatures on this planet.
There's so much you can do to help animals, but you don't have to do a lot. Just simple things can help many. For example, don't buy products that are tested on animals. Right there you have helped many. Don't support the fur industry, there..you've helped even more. It's easy.

I've just joined a group of animal friendly bloggers, "Dyrevennlige bloggere". By that i pledge to not buy products that are tested on animals, and not buy fur. I'll be more than happy to help you in the jungle of products, and tell you which brands that are safe. Hilde Christina, who has started this group is doing serious work on this. You can check out a list here, on brands that are safe. And if you are a Norwegian blogger who cares about animals, join us:)

My style: Basically basement

You know, just hanging out in the basement. Being dorky, wearing some basics and stuff.
Another fun Sunday.
The only place with light, so we had to take a few shots down there before going out.
Please excuse me for always wearing these boots, it's just that..they're so comfy!
And I love beeing comfy and tall at the same time, which isn't always easy.

Had a pretty relaxed weekend, girls night with sushi and chickflick yesterday, and ate candy while fixing my face this morning. Enjoying life with no limits as usual. Hope you had a good weekend too.


Wearing wool cardi from H&M, paneled leggings from Zara, tunic/ west from Gina Tricot, boots from Din Sko. The cross is a very dear possession, given to me by someone special. And then there's the Hematite necklace to give me strength. And the cuff is real bedouin silver from Tunisia, seriously..hehe.

Frozen

The most beautiful video ever made.

See it

The sadness

Daul Kim.
I keep reading on blogs, that people can't believe she took her own life, because she had it "all".
Beauty, success, money... It isn't everything. And it means nothing if you don't have happiness.
We look at, and admire the supermodels, and all the beautiful people of the fashion world. But I think it's also important to remember, that it isn't real. It's just illusions, you know. The people behind are real, but you never know how a person feels on the inside.
So in our drems, maybe we shouldn't focus on the success that we want or how much money we hope to earn. Maybe we should focus on real things, simple tings, like happiness.

Let's hope her soul has found peace.

Felt inspired today

Just bought

I just totally did a copycat on Rumi, and ordered this sideway cross necklace.
Pretty cool, huh?
I'm so picky when it comes to jewelry, so when I finally saw something I really liked, it thought it'd be allright to by myself a little christmas gift;)
Believe it or not but I'm almost finished with all the christmas presents, I can't stand shopping in December, so I'm early on it. That it self deserves a reward, doesn't it?


You can get the cross here.

My style: I just wanna be comfy

I have pretty much sucked when it comes to outfit posts lately, but there's a good reason for it. Coming to think of it, there's two.. 1: There's literarily no light. How to take pictures whitout light? It's completely dark at 16, and not even the mornings are light. It's just really grey outside, and if it doesn't rain it's cold or at least windy. Which leads me to point no 2: I just wanna be comfy.. The darkness and the cold does something to me, and all I want to do is wear soft knitted stuff and sit under a blanket with my tea cup. Not much to photograph if you ask me..
But if you can live with harsh flash pictures, and maybe a couple from the basement (it's actually a lot lighter than our apartment which is pretty soft lit...) then I'll do more outfit posts. Now I have pretty much revealed what's up at our place..just blankets, comfy clothing, tee drinking and very dimmed lights. I'm totally in let's-get-kosy-mode. Then you know it's winter, when the indoor mood really sets in..


Wearing knit from Zara, leggings and silk dress from H&M, belt from Cubus, boots from Din Sko. And of course a bunch of wool stuff underneeth, so that i don't freeze to death.

Daul Kim

She's so special, that exotic beauty Daul Kim.. I like her.

And these shots have been on my mind since I first saw them, quite like them. Something about her that feels Nordic to me, and I'm not just talking about the blonde hair. She just has this quiet and almost cold presence, I don't know.. Also the native people up here have many Asian-ish feautures, so might be that's why I want to see her in an editorial shot on the North Pole or something. Wouldn't that be just gorgeous? Anyways.. loving these photos.

Dreaming of Chalayan

Hussein Chalayan f 09/10

Hussein Chalayan is in my eyes one of the best, and in this seasons collection there's some looks that I love, love, love. It would be these monochrome and dramatic ones. The luxurious feeling combinated with such a strong, almost hard look just captivates me. And then there's the beautiful colour scheme.. Very inspiring.
For us who can't afford Chalayan's treaures...there's always ways to get a kinda similar look for less. Good thing maxi skirts, biker jackets and thigh high boots are flooding the stores.








On the collage: Booties from H&M, tank- dress from Sass & Bide, long biker jacket and cocoon coat from Acne, paneled leggings, silk skirt, dress, and boots from Topshop, Draped top from Alexander Wang. Lipstick from Chanel, colour Rouge Noir.

My style: Easy Saturday

Somedays I just can't be bothered with thinking, and those days I always wear one of my black/ white striped tops. They just seem so appealing where they look at me from the droor, among stuff I hate (Ihave too much crap), there's always some black/ white stripes to make me happy. And then there's the red lipstick, whenever feeling underdressed it helps. These earring were almost forgotten, but found them when I finally came around to tidying my jewelry.

Other then that I can tell you that I have a broken tooth that annoys the hell out of me.
Looking for travels to Budapest, might be a lot cheaper to fix it there. Funny.

Anyways, my Saturday is quiet. Didn't even bother to participate in the madness at H&M.
Feels good actually, now I have saved money today, kinda. (That I can use on something else..) ;)
Did you go?


Wearing top from Zara, vintage earrings from Givenchy and lipstick from Clinique.
