Right before I left for Argentina, I had a new photo session with my pal Eilert. The top is from American Apparel, and the hipsters from BikBok.

Today I fell in love with Buenos Aires. In the Sunday marked in San Telmo.

The person who caught my eye, was him. I forgot to ask for his name, but he gave me so much emotions on this picture - its enough.

The new Alexa in plum is my newest purchase. Candy.

Saturday in Recoletta.

We were so intrigued by the park and parklife surrounding the cemetery (which was our primary goal for the day), that we just sat there in awe; watching people pass by and listening to kids drum at a outdoor drumschool.

I miss a decent park life in Norway, just sitting with your friends doing nothing. I got to thinking that we tend to rush all the time, but the moments we cherish the most is the ones where time stands still.

Morning i Buenos Aires. This is the view from our apartment in Palermo. 8th floor. Pretty sweet.

Decided to continue on this blog. So, a bit more travel and a bit less fashion.

On to the matter at hand: this is my beautiful travel buddy Kristine. The blond bombshell that she is Im going to be busy shooing boys away from her (only the not goodlooking ones that is).

So.. hello blog. Its been a while. Ive been busy. But tomorrow Im moving to Buenos Aires for three months. I cant wait! My summer has been spent in Oslo, working for Tiger of Sweden, snapping for Oslonights and working as an reporter for Oslo Fashion week. Apart from that Ive been partying and meeting new and exciting people.

But back to the subject, Ill start blogging from Buenos Aires. Dont know if Ill do it here, or make a new blog. Ill keep you posted.

After a month with exams (not done yet though), I am taking a two day break these days. And what better way to spend it than gossiping with my hairdresser and coloring my hair black again. Seeing beautiful Gala Gonzales makes the transformation so much easier.

Welcome back Kylie

Love the lovemaking video.

Eternal

Whenever I have a period of creativity dry I tend to google Ashley Olsen. Not because she is the best dresser of them all (although she is in my top five), but because her everyday looks are so sleek and cool. This pictures is my favorite, and has always been in my lookbook.

Oh well, tmrw is a big day. And Im wearing red. Love

- Since I grew up in a conservative family in a poor country like India, my interest for fashion has always been filled with guilt.

I recently heard about Sheena Matheiken, a girl who decided to make a statement about making fashion alittle more about ethics and environmental awareness. She wore the same dress every day a whole year (a LBD ofcourse). I love her looks and her message.

Prom

So since I forgot to take a photo of my dress on prom, I have waited for someone to post it on Facebook. And here it is! Its just perfect! Bought it here from Rachel Pally.

Newbies

Bought the bloggers favorite stockings from Lindex today. Cant wait to combine it with some denim shorts and a white shirt. Nice.

Last night

Long time no blog, I know.

Its been a combo of home exams and trip to oslo for the Oslonights/SVA launch that Ill soon post some pictures from. Even though I was tired as a mofo yesterday coming home from Oslo I couldnt miss Bergenfest and the line-up: Mayer Hawthorne, Veronica Maggio and Karpe Diem.

Some photos from the night. The throw my hair while being taking a photo thing of doesnt quite work for me.

Current theme of my life

...couldn't agree more at this moment, and the reason why my updates have been horrible.

Here comes the sun.

My new obsession...

...Is Mark Wahlbergs new series for HBO called How to make it in America. You will not regret checking this intro out,

even the theme song is sick!

SVA Launch

Sorry for lack of updates lately. I have been out and about in Oslo trying to get a job for this summer and doing some interviews. But now Im back in Bergen just in time to find out a new SVA magazine is out the 19., meaning a new party which I can not attend because theyre having it in Oslo this time as well. Oh well, there is more fashion people in the capitol than here, so I understand the switch, but one should never forget that the fab magazine is 100 % from Bergen!

Denim+grey

Had my eyes on the Super blue jacket from Erin Wasson x RVCA, but cant find it online anywhere. BUT, I do smell a DIY project here. Bought a denim jacket last spring from H&M Trend which is pretty decent looking, but haven't really used it as much as I thought. Im quite a jacket freak and have way to many to choose from, but somehow always end up with my Levis leather biker jacket (it goes with everything!). Anyway, lets cut those arms off and wear a grey hoodie underneath. Preferably a big one, stolen from my boyfriend:)

Not that I have any, ANY plans on buying yet another bag (not that one can have enough designer bags), but look at these babies. The green and dark blue are favorites.

PS1 from Proenza Schouler.

Prom night

Decided to attend prom again for the third time during my bachelor, but hey, its good food, embarrassing speeches and the best part: a reason to wear a long dress. Speaking of which I have recently ordered one from shopbop. Cant wait to show you.

Gifts

Alright, I got alot of nice gifts from friends that will be posted soon, but these two babies are from my boyfriend. Both from Acne. Me gusta!

The one, the only... my birthday gift from mom. Cant stop looking at it.

The Calm

After 21 days of partying, UKEN10 is now over and today I have been sleeping all day to catch up for a lot of lost hours. Looking forward to an Easter holiday spent at home with parents.

This is a photo of my very talented friend Eilerts new project; Caravan life in Hemsedal. Has a certain calmness to it, and is making me regret not booking a Hemsedal trip this Easter.

Check out more here.

Todays inspiration

Christine Centerena, Fashion editor of Haarpers Baazar Australia, just...kills it with this outfit.

Last night I celebrated my birthday with 20 good friends in my apartment and ended the perfect evening with Klovner I Kamp concert at my school. Got some amazing gifts ill post soon.

Love the picture, smoking never looked better.

Arm candy

Recieved an ill Triwa watch last week. I cant have enough watches and this fits perfect with my current colorless wardrobe.

Le Teddy

This spring is all about college baseball jackets. Here from the classic Beverly Hills Cop. I would wear his whole outfit - minus the gun.

Backless cream dress from ASOS. Had some low key grey heels and big diamond earrings to go with.  

Legs

Preps

Prepping for the official premiere of UKEN 2010 tonight and the revy Amatør (do not know what we call revy in English). In addition to all the make-up I have to wear onstage, these babies are good friends in crime. Body oil and hand cream from The Body Shop, Prep and Prime from MAC, shimmer from Bobbi Brown, and eau de toilette from Chanel.

THE SUIT

Bateman, Gekko and Ford gets it right, but can you?

Jerry Seinfeld once said that the suit must have been invented by a woman claiming, ”since all men are the same, we might as well dress them all the same”. But since you all do dress the same, the more important it becomes to get it right.

Being a woman and completely blank on the subject, I contacted three experts on the area; Hein Irgens, former manager at Scabal and employee at Tatler, Christian Ferner from Ferner&Jacobsen and T.Michael, designer of T.Michael suits, to discuss the current trends and maybe more importantly, the rules which apply to how a suit should sit.

First of all, the suit has never been more in the fashion scene than it currently is. The reason for that has a lot to do with to the financial crisis, and the importance of wearing clothes that show seriousness around work. Nevertheless, one should never underestimate the impact pop culture have on the way we dress.

T.Michael explains:  - The presence of Don Draper and his band of mad men has a significant impact on the way people view the suit. In addition, the Tom Ford movie A Single Man escalates the suit from just being a Sunday best to attire that rocks in more ways than just being a traditional dress code. Chuck Bass has also done his work, especially bringing the bow tie back in the game.

What this does to the current suit trend is that it combines the utilitarian feel of the 1940´s with the optimism of the 1960´s. In other words, the suit is close to the body and the silhouette slender. The jacket has two buttons, thin lapels and relaxed shoulders. The ties are thin, and the pants should, for the daredevil, be a tad short. There should be a two-side vent and the jacket accentuated at the back. Accessories like handkerchiefs and cufflinks are back, and as earlier mentioned the batwing bow tie.   So even though the Swedish slim style is still strong, there is a touch of that impeccable spotless Italian man. And we all love him!

However, no matter how smart your suit is, it all comes down to getting the right one that fits you. The experts point out some main rules when you are out hunting.

In general the suit is better tight than loose, and should always feel a tad restricting. The jacket should not be longer than that it ends in your palm when you are standing straight, have one or two buttons (never three), and show around three centimeters of your shirt cuffs. The shoulders should stop exactly where your shoulders stop, and if you think that makes your shoulders look small, well, then they are and don’t blame the suit.

When it comes to the pants there is not more magic than that they should stop one centimeter from when your shoe goes leather to rubber. If that makes it hang on the front, alter the pants a bit wry.

According to Hein Irgens; in the world of shirt and tie, there are not many rules. Just don’t look colorblind or try to tell a story with your tie. Thin ties should go with thin lapels. 

And if you want a woman’s opinion; nothing beats the classic dark grey suit, white shirt and black tie.

 

See you at the party!

Fashion fun at OsloNights.
