long summer nights and wedding too

haa i was waiting for someone close to get married this summer so i could use one of this dresses by Baum und pferdgarten but helas it´s no one i know who is getting married so i will wait for one summer night instead with chilled wine and good friends ..

boheme and parisian chic

my favorite red dress..

this dress is fantastic! it can be either : sexy , clean , laid back and many more things reflecting your mood of the day , the textile is cotton lycra and the cut is so smart , with pockets to be confortable and i think it can be used at work or party , for the one who dare less we have one left in black :)

strong and sweet outfits

wedding outfits ...

silk linen dress in blue by Orla Kiely , one of her most timeless dress this season , can be use at the office or for a wedding , everything about it is soooo elegant ! coat to go with it or on its own .

last beautifull Sonia Rykiel coat

dess from baum , and last coat from Sonia , this one is the dream coat of this sring !

a bit of spring feeling...

we decided yesterday to take "some" pictures of our dresses to show how they were on .. it ended up with a bit more pictures than we thought , so i am putting them here and we are also making an album at shine , i hope it will allow you to have a better idea of the shapes and way to use them ..

no PARIS for you !

not in Paris , still in town( as most people due to take a flight i was stopped by nature ) , trying to confort myself with all kind of small and big pleasures in life , so i had a fun bath with my two sons , a spring meal with blueshell and white wine in great company , a friendly power breakfast and a visit to my shop were we got lots of news ( don´t ask me how packets got throught from paris or london ! )
our trip is pushed until next week and for now i am sharing colors with you , the new EOS ecological lipbalm with spf and a beautifull and rather sexy red dress from Vanessa Bruno and a clean necklace from Helena Rohner , Helena had one more time an article in a design magazine , this time the danish RUM ..check it out .

new Orla Kiely bed linen and bath delivery today !

constantin in bed with Orla Kiely jacquard white and multi stem pillow bed linen and mustard wool cover from røros plaid ..

yepee ! today we had the joy of receiving no less than 6 huge packets from Orla Kiely , the first packets witch arrived a month ago flew out of the shop so fast that i had to call at Orla Kiely the day after the first delivery and ask how fast they could deliver more !
so today we received all the sold out items plus some new colors and patterns , as a little reminder i writte here the sooo cheap price of the bathroom towels : face cloth 50 kr , hand cloth 99 kr , bath 199 kr , bath sheet 299 kr and from the hand to the bath sheet the sizes are really big so you get more for your money and the quality is super good !

Isabel Marant silk blue shirt and chan luu silver and leather bracelet

i felt so nice trying this blue shirt from Isabel Marant , it was like wearing a cloud and the winter flew out of the window , this light blue or all blue are fast becoming my favorite colors this spring , so nice it can also mix well with a jeans or any formal outfit , on the photo i was wearing my chan luu bracelet in silver and black leather , i feel a bit naked without it , it is both really cool and tuff and comes in other colors witch can also be sweeter , this piece of jewel is more like a weeding ring , hard to remove at the end of the day , i even sleep with mine :)

soon Paris

it is j-3 as i will be flying to paris on friday this week , i don´t know what to pack because i get new contradictory messages from my mother all the time , once it is so hot everyone is in tee shirt the other is its raining and cold and everyone is depressed : i think the parisien are just as eager as us to see real spring coming .

last night i saw the documentary The september issue about the making of the biggest american VOGUE number and i kept dreaming about those two womans , Anna wintour ,Grace Goddington , my god what caracter they have , one is cold as ice and freaky the other one is a genius in making dream pictures come true , i really recommand that movie to anyone who loves fashion a bit or a lot .
i have lot to do before i leave but i will try to keep posting and posting :)

blue blue !

i loved this top/ dress from Baum und pferdgarten so much ! too sad i can get the bottom seam down my hips , i will have to enjoy seing someone else be fabulous in it , for the photo christina was trying it yesterday , it is fresh and cool and easy to wear everyday alone or with jeans . and the blue bag is by Louison and its now mine in this color but we have some brown and other shape left .

a wonderfull coat for next winter

i was asked today about what was coming next winter , i think a lot of woman are really upfront in fashion and nothing is better than a very new crisp coat . so here is the one from Phillip Lim ( as a warning : i ordered only one because of the price witch is rather hight but as this customer was saying , it is good we can find exclusive pieces also in trondheim ! so ...if that coat is not sold after a short time in the shop then it is mine :)
it is my dream coat and i would have cried in my heart if i did not have one in shop for next winter .

saturday outfit

today i decided to start taking pictures of what i wear when the outfit actually make sense ( most time it does not make sense as i just put something on while trying to get two small boys in their clothe too :)
so today outfit was my good old pair of Acne boots , summer 2010 beige dress from Baum und Pferdgarten( cost 2400 kr ) , scarf from Missoni , vintage beige bag Chanel , and my favorite spring wool coat from Paul and Joe winter 2006 .

endelig fredag !

one good things about the end of the holliday is that it´s back to cupcakes every fridays and saturdays at shine ! so see you for a sweet piece of cake :)

something about small time luxury ..

i know it is the second time i writte about nail polish but honestly there is something really over indulgent about painting my nails when i have to small boys to take care off and a shop ..and also i have a special fascination for nail polish witch is border line as i never get to use them more than a couple of time before i feel the color is out of fashion.. so about this one , the story is : it is the last trend color from CHANEL , a very special cross over mocca and beige ( how unlikely for me !) it took me about five store in 3 different city to put my hand on one bottle of it ! i was first in paris in a random perfumery and it was sold out , at the oslo international airport on my way to copenhagen sold out , finally at the chanel department inside birger chistensen they had 2 ! bottles left ! of course by then i was totally desperate so i bought one ... ( the real reason why i was at chanel in the first place was to buy a pair of ballerina but i had to satisfy myself with nail polish as all ballerinas from chanel were sold out in copenhagen ten days ago :)
there you can see my nail polish match my last gluten , sugar , milk free cupcakes ( ash !) but the polish was good :)
if you follow my blogg in ten days i am in PARIS again and theeeen i will get my pair of CHANEL ballerinas DEAD or ALIVE !

Tim Walker´s magic world

after a year trying to bring back my favorite photo book home it is thanks to amazon that my Tim Walker book landed at my place today ! i am so happy ! you have no idea how many time i have been dwelling in paris or elsewhere over the question on how much it would cost me in overweight luggage to take that book home . on my last trip i gave up , also because there was a waiting list on it , so i decided to try amazon on the good advice of my other photographer friend www.kimram.com
now i am looking forward to many evening spendings enjoying the inspiring world of Tim Walker .

it is so fun working with friends !

month ago we started anniken and i a trip to dream and creative land that brought us from trondheim to paris , from a room at shine filled with clothe collection to a room with interior , clothe , and a tea salong , from a visit to merci in paris to an article in interior magazine , en bref lots a fun and work and great results !
when anniken set her mind to create some new interior for my shop it is the full package i got : a set of pages with all i needed down to each prices and telephone numbers for all the things i dreamed of ! i just had to choose from all her great ideas and that was the only difficult part :) , the project shine is not entirely ready but in a small week most will be in place and then we will share some well deserved champagne !
in the interior magazine this month you can read all about our trip to Merci in paris and much more from anniken :zhalfurunes.blogspot.com ..

New dromadar cafe !

Oh joy ! Just yesterday dromadar opened the door of its new place and I had to take first a take away this morning early and now on my way home , the interior is a lot more ruff and masculine than the 3 first dromadar and I love the simplicity of it and the combination of the red brick wall , the leather sofa and the cool lighting ! This place is just going to get better as it ages .. And the terrace outside will be the perfect spot this summer ... Its between mollenberg and baklandet , go and enjoy : )
