Ripped up jeans from Maison Martin Margiela (although it might be way too expensive for me)




Hi tops from Raf Simons



Clothes/shoes from Bernhard Willhelm



iphone of course




A big NYC-style pizza slice!

COCO ROCHA <3

I just love her energy, and every fotoshoot with her puts me in a good mood.

LOVING THE LOOK

Just when I thought I was tired of Acne, I find myself loving lots of stuff from their ss 08 collection as well as different looks provided by them. I actually gonna dye my eyebrows black tonight, hopefully it will look ok.

SUDDENLY HOLIDAY

So we suddenly decided to drive to my birthplace Ulsteinvik yesterday (most norwegians have one week easter holiday), and now we are here. Lots of snow here, I brought mostly spring/summer clothes but happily we have a car so we do not have to walk around too much.
Picture is btw from the new Wanderlust video by Bjork, in which she surfs down a river winding through Himalayan landscape with some buffaloes. The video is directed by Encyclopedia Pictura. I could not find the video, but when I do I will post it!

FRIDAY FLICK

It is 1999 in Bergen, I go to Miles Ahead, Agora and Café Opera every weekend to dance my ass off, and this was my favourite clubtrack for a long long time.
Ultra classic house track: Cunnie Williams: Saturday.

PEPPER WEBSHOP!

The webshop for my favourite store and current workplace Pepper will open in a couple of weeks, more precisely on the 1. of april. 

So, if you like scandinavian brands like Acne Jeans, Wood Wood , Henrik Vibskov, Filippa K and throw in a bit of Raf by Raf Simons, April 77 and Martin Margiela 6, this might be something for you.

WORK IN A SHOP = SHOPPING

If you have ever worked in a (clothing)shop, you might know that it makes you a shoppingmaniac. The last couple of days I have bought a black eco-sweater from Filippa K, a scarf from Wood Wood and finally these jewelerys from Fa Fa Fa, and I think more will come my way. I like!

OVERSIZED COLLEGESWEATER<3

Some things are favourites forever, like a oversized collegesweater for instance.
Despite the various looks I have always had a thing for a super collegesweater and I think it always looks fresh with jewelery and nice make up to add a girly touch.
I also love these pictures of Gisele in oversized collegesweaters, styled by Kim Jones.

I LOVE BERGEN IN THE SPRINGTIME

Last week it was a big snowstorm, this week it is sun and 10 degrees celsius and suddenly it feels like springtime. Hopefully the springweather will inspire to dress properly and taking some mystyle pix that is actually worth posting.

CATWOMAN

ACNE GENERIC

I think this is the jeans-shape I have been looking for. Loose but not baggy, it reminds me of chinos pants. I like!

DON´T QUIT YOUR DAYJOB

Well, I just did. That means that I no longer work as editor for Natt&Dag (free monthly paper in Norway). It feels good to move on and I do have a plan. A big plan, so all my readers: watch this space for information.
In the meantime I plan to do some freelance writing and work a little at Pepper.
I would love to write stuff for magazines and papers so please contact me at birthelovesfashion@gmail.com if anyone wants me to contribute!

FRIDAY FLICK

This song is on my mind today, it is great, and omg is she looking good!

Neneh Cherry: Buffalo Stance

LYKKE LI

My plan is to grow my hair as long as Lykke Li, cause I want to put up my hair like she does. Looks good!

VOLTA COVER ART

I have actually never thought about the fact that the sculpture on Bjork´s Volta cover actually is a sculpture. It is made by Bernhard Willhelm who also did her tour costumes as well as the rest of the Volta coverdesign.

DANIEL PALILLO

It is a while since I first notice finnish designer Daniel Pallilo´s oversized clothes, first and foremost on helsinki streetstyle page hel-looks. I almost start to believe in destiny, cause I have stalked the internet after some pictures to post, and suddenly I recieved a mail from pickadollagency with pictures from the aw 08/09 collection. I like!

BLACK DEVIL DISCO

WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK AW 08/09

Crazy man. Makes me laugh, but I think he is genious. Always doing his own thing. Sorry for all the aw 08/09 posts, but having a huge lack of inspiration and creativity atm.

MIU MIU AW 08/09

Miu Miu goes sporty. First look me not like, fifth time I looked through the pictures me like. I like seeing something new and allthough it looks kind of unwearable atm, I think this might change in a while. When autumn comes, I will be ready!

BERNHARD WILLHELM AW 08/09

No surprise, I have been waiting for this collection and it seems that Bernhard continues doing his thing. That means oversized shapes, colourful patterns, hoods and even some batik in there. I, of course, like!

CHLOE AW 08/09

Allthough this collection may be a bit mature for me, I think it has a good balance between a everyday versus updressed look. I like the layer patterns, the shoes and the volumnious but shorts tops with the narrow pants/tights. Maybe it is time to grow up?
