Madonna: Like a virgin.




It is not a total random choice of video, my blog will get a new start next week so I am almost feeling like a blogvirgin. This will be my (second) last post here on blogspot, then I will be part of something bigger and a new fashionhome. This new thing means I will write in norwegian only (I am actually looking forward to that) but I hope all my foreign readers will still check in if not just to look at pictures.

I will post a link when the site is up!

CAN YOU BLAME ME?

On saturday I bought a Nintendo Wii. It was a big impulse, I have never thought about that at all, but suddenly it felt very naturally to have one. So now I am trying not to play during day/office-time, but in the evenings I am hooked, trying to solve Super Paper Mario.
I love to play with you Mario!

JIL SANDER + RAF <3

New Shop in New York





Jil Sander recently opened a new store in New York on Howard Street (just by Opening Ceremony) and I guess that is just another excuse to post some pictures from the "above-this-world" 08 summer/spring collection. It is purely fantastic! I love the minimalistic 90s look, and every piece looks like candy (expensive candy that is). I think this is clothes you would wear for decades.

FRIDAY FLICK

No video to this track, but this is my theme song for this weekend. It is going on and on and on in my head. Every minute, all day. I love it!

Surkin: And you too

FRIDAY NIGHT

Went to Textotek at Landmark were you could sms a song you wanted to hear. I wished Get Togehter by Madonna.
Wearing shoes and jacket from Acne, jeans from Cheap Monday, and oversized tee bought in a big size shop in Berlin.

THREE NEW BW-NAIL POLISH FOR USLU AIRLINES

The new names and colours are KTT - kittilä (Finland), WAW - warsaw frederic chopin (Poland) and SBT - san bernardino (USA).

You can get them online here, and in selected stores worldwide.

ACNE 10 YEAR GIFT

I got this tote-bag from my boyf who got it from Acne due to their 10 year anniversary. I think it is really nice, and def a lot more solid than other tote-bags of mine. I have used it alot lately.

PINK TOENAILS....

On hairy men-legs. What do you say boys and girls? A summer trend?

2. HAND INSPIRED BY DRIES AND JIL!

When I was in Oslo in may I got this silk-blouse at Fretex on Grünerløkka. I liked it instantly even though the color is not one of my favourites, but there was just something to it, and the colour turned out to have the right look in a fresh and sober way.
The blouse has a Dries Van Noten feeling, and when I was browsing internet I found that it had a certain Jil Sander feel to it as well.
I also got this black chiffon-dress here in Bergen at Fretex a couple of weeks ago. I think it has some of the same feeling as the silk blouse, but in a different way. I have not used it yet, but I will soon. I just need to figure out how to since it has see-trough material.

SATC

So I went to the cinema today for the first time in 1,5 year! ( I prefer to watch movies, series etc. at home). The occation was of course the Sex And The City-movie.
I loved the movie, I think I would no matter what. I got Carried away. lol. And it was great to spend a sunday morning (afternoon) in the dark.
Anyway. I am wearing shoes from Converse, tights with glitter from H&M, tee from Acne, tote-bag from Bernhard Willhelm and jacket bought secondhand.

FRIDAY FLICK

The song is ok (nice), but this video is just genious! I do not know if I want to cry or smile (or both).

Moby: In This World

BJORK <3

I found this picture in some "what the hell are they wearing?"-thing in a norwegian fashionmagazine. I do not know, but this picture makes smile and I think the hat-thing on her head is just awesome.

SUMMER-BERGEN

Today: Wearing shoes from Converse, tights from Muji, old Levis-jeans cutted off to shorts, American Apparel tee, leather bag bought secondhand, sunglasses from Henrik Vibskov and scarf bought in Turkey.


Last week: wearing tee from American Apparel, tank from Material Boy (boyfs), tights from Muji and Nike Air Max.

FRINGE

I cutted my fringe about a month ago, and I am really pleased with it. It is so effortless and easy, I just wash&go.

YVES SAINT LAURENT

R.I.P

PS! That grey logo-sweater must be this springs best. I love it!

FRIDAY FLICK

Aaliyah - More than a Woman. One of my top summersongs!

FLOWERWEEK # 2

Flowers, pattern on pattern. You know the deal. Great photo from the sartorialist.

FLOWERWEEK

I think this will be a week of flowerpattern (and fresh colours). So second out in this series are some pictures from the Balenciaga spring-summer collection. I think this is one of the most inspiration looks this spring. I also think Jennifer Connolly looks totally amazing in these clothes as well.

FLOWERBOMB

I have never been a fan of the romantic look, and I do not think I will start now. But I just love this dress from Tsumori Chisato, even though it has a romantic vibe.
Picture from tresbien.

OUTFIT

Wearing tee from Best Shop Berlin, chinos from Wood Wood and ballerina shoes from Le Coq Sportif.

BYSTIL

Today is the first entry of the column "Bystil" (Citystyle?) in BT. It is made by me, and in the next couple of months you can see "Bystil" with good looking people from the streets of Bergen every saturday. First out is sweet Cathrin. Maybe next time I will ask YOU!

FRIDAY FLICK

This has been one of my favourite tracks this spring. So feelgood!

Daft Punk: Digital Love (Interstella 5555 part 3)

MARGIELA FAKE FAKE

The original

The fake

It seems like I am not the only one who wants to fake the Margiela-look this summer. Take a look a look at this one from Topshop. Actually when you look at them so close to each other, the one from Maison Martin Margiela is sooooo much nicer, but I guess it might have something to do with the pricetag.

Yo! MTV Raps

This year Yo! MTV Raps celebrates its 20 years anniversary. I did not get to see the anniversary shows, but you can check out loads of related stuff here.
As inspiration it is a winner. I remember drwaing the Yo! MTV Raps-logo over and over again when bored at school and so on.

GROUND ZERO

I have noticed this UK-brand, Ground Zero, several times lately. I like it because it has this streety feel, but looks sober and modern with colourful details and nice shapes. The brand is quite new and was established in 2003 by the brothers Eri and Philipa Chu. London is their muse.
The brand will for instance be sold at Bestshop-berlin and Seven New York.

THE FACE 4 EVER

This is my favourite The Face-cover of all times! I am not sure why but I just love the energy and the freshness of the girls. It is the august 1999 issue. I did not like The Face at the end, but the old ones are great. I am planning on reading old The Face this summer, so I need to get them up from the basement. I like!

LEATHER CAPS ON COACHELLA

Jeremy Scott is so out there, and do not mind posing on these pictures taken by Cory Kennedy. I actually had a similar leather caps when I was like 9-10 years old and very inspired by Madonna in Who´s that girl. The last couple of years I have been searching my childhood home for the leather caps, but it seems to have disappear. It was last seen on my littlebrother ten years ago.
I think Madonnas look from Who´s that girl may have inspired other than me lately. Leather jacket, feminine dresses and net stockings: it has been everywhere the last couple of seasons.

CARRIE + BIG

DENIM <3

Pudel

Acne

Pudel is a scandinavian brand based in London. I like it! And I especially like this denim vest, that I think will add a little extra to most outfits (at least the ones I tend to wear).
Acne has something similar in their spring collection: denim dress with classic jeans details. I like it too!

LATE FRIDAY FLICK

Since I have been so lazy (or busy might be the best word) I will post two videoes for you. I think this will be my summer soundtrack. Been listening to it for some time now, and I never get tired of it. I do not know how to label this music, all I can say is that this is from a time when the term "indie" actually ment something. Both songs from the amazing album Heaven or Las Vegas.

Cocteau Twins: Heaven or Las Vegas



Cocteau Twins: Iceblink Luck

OSLO TOMORROW

Yes, will drive over the mountain towards Oslo. If I suddenly feel extremely inspired I will blog, if not, see you next week (or maybe here in Oslo:)

CAN NOT WAIT...

for the new Sex And The City-movie! It is airing in Norway in one month on the 6 th of june.
Picture from sexandthecitymovie.com

FRIDAY FLICKS

As I often say in this post: This song is great!
Hoping to catch his consert tomorrow here in Bergen, the last album, Sexuality, is very good. It is actually my favourite atm.

Sebastien Tellier: Sexual Sportswear.

MOST LOL-MOMENT IN NEW YORK

I do not mind, but I would not be comfortable if I exercized on the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park. Lying down there, taking sit ups while your pt is naging you in front of everybody? No no no.

NEW YORK GUIDE

I have posted a New York guide on UPOP (norwegian only).
I will (when I have time) translate a short version for all my english readers here on BLF.
In the meantime...upop.

CUSTOMIZING JEANS & LEGGINGS

A month ago, due to my obsession with the ripped up jeans from Maison Martin Margiela, I made these holes on a leggings of mine. The result turned out good, and it is a good way to transform an item you may be a bit bored with.
Last night I decided to make my version of the MMM-jeans, so I cutted up my old Cheap Monday jeans and I think it went very well.
I can not wait to use the jeans, and I think it will be great when it gets a bit warmer outside and a regular jeans is too warm.
Now I just need to stitch the shoulderpads that I bought on october on a black tee, and I will have a complete fake Maison Martin Margiela outfit. I like!

WHITE JEANS

Wearing shoes from Puma, jeans from Acne (hug), top from WKND and jacket bought secondhand.
PS! I am in a good mood, I am just not a good poser.

BOUNCE BOUNCE!

Forget the Topshop-dress. This is the best dress I have seen in a long time. It is from Acne, and the picture do not justify how nice it is irl. This can be worn in so many way: over a grey melange tee, with a short jacket of any kind, over net stockings, over jeans, with sneakers, or sandals or whatever. Everything goes!

MASION MARTIN MARGIELA STORE IN NEW YORK

I am slowly posting out my New York pics, and today I wanted to share the Maison Martin Margiela store with you. Some of my old readers may remember the extreme low fi entrance at the Maison Martin Margiela store in Tokyo?

It seems that low fi are one important part of the stores, also in New York. Due to jetlag we first arrived before the store (and everything else was opened), but later on we got to see the store that featured both the Maison- and MM6-collections. Actually there where two stores, one for boys and one for girls. And with the kindest and nicest staff in all of New York. Unfortunately they did not have the ripped up jeans that I wanted, so no MMM-shopping for me.

The store is located on 803 Greenwich Street in West Village.
