New blog here
Thank you!
November 30th, 2010
I never thought it would be hard to leave this blog.. But it is.
Thank you for visits, comments, mails and everything!
You guys have made blogging a wonderful experience for me. :)
I've been thinking for days on how to do this, and what to say, but I can't really say anything. I'm afraid I mights start to cry now.. It seems strange I know, but denoto.blogspot.com has been a huge part of my life for more than two years. And this was the place where I found inspiration to take a new direction in my life. Blogging has been a tool that have helped me to stay focused on what I want. And you readers have given me so much positive, you don't even know..
I hope you'll keep following me on my new blog.
It's not completely finished yet, but almost. I'm waiting for my domain, but the blog is up.
Wanna see??
Here it is
Light
November 25th, 2010
How pretty are these!?
I love the use of light, and how it all looks so soft without being sugary sweet, you know what I mean.
And don't they have a certain blog look to them? They remind me of Fashiontoast in a way.

Winter
November 21st, 2010
It's getting colder, and colder.. Which comes with a challenge; how to dress in such weather..
Next thing to buy: something in thick wool.

November 17th, 2010
All of a sudden it is very much November.. I'm not a fan of this time of year in particular, which you can probably see on my face (...). It's not easy to dress allright when it's cold outside. You want to look nice, but you don't want to freeze your tush off.. I'm lucky though, some nice people at DNA sent me a gift certificate and I ended up getting these high boots. They keep my legs warm for sure, and I think they look pretty too. I figure if I wear them with a long coat I'll be all covered. ;)

Time for a change

I've been keeping a secret from you..
And I've been just dying to tell you
That Denoto will reinvent itself...like Madonna! Yeah :)
.
I'm so happy that you guys read my blog, I feel like we're friends now. And I really want to provide to you the best blog that I possibly can. So I'm moving to a new space, getting a fresh new start, and hopefully a new improved blog. Right now final touches are being made. And soon, very soon I'll give you my new url.
I'm excited! Hope you are too:)

Not doing anything
November 12th, 2010
Apologies for not being present the last days.
You see I have a terrible cold, and on top of things I've had to do I haven't had energy to do anything on the computer.
Sorry. I'll get back to answering emails and such in a little while.
.
Enjoy your weekend!

Late, late fall

After a year of searching for a grey wool hat with the right shape, going through ebay and all the vintage stores in Oslo, I stumbeled upon this one at H&M.. Leave it to those guys to know what people want. You know the hat is the perfect accessory, especially when it's cold. As long as your head is warm, you'll fell pretty warm all over, don't you think?

Crosses

One of my favourite things to do when I travel is to visit religious buildings.
One of my favourite things to do when I travel is to visit religious buildings.
My best memory from my Paris trip is actually Notre Dame. After a long day of sightseeing and shopping, we went into the cathedral, and it was like someone turned of a button or something. Or maybe they turned it on.. We came in there and all of a sudden everything was quiet and peaceful. Such a contrast to the city outside. And then there's something about that gothic architecture, that makes you feel very humble.
.
I think it's so fascinating to see how much they put into the churches back in the day, even though a society might have been poor, the churches was rich. So much art and beauty in one place, it's like you can feel how important the building was for it's people.
After that visit to Notre Dame, religious buildings are somethning that I always have to visit on trips. And when I'm there I light a candle for a special person, and maybe I buy a little thing, like a cross.
.
The rosaries on the pictures are memories from good travels. The black one is from a stunning basilica in Malta, called The Mosta Dome. And then there's a couple from the St. Stephen's Basilica that we checked out on our Budapest trip.

Everything you need to know about the Lita shoes
November 6th, 2010
.
.
Ok, so since I still get questions about these shoes, I thought I'd make a post where I answer all of the questions in one place. If you didn't know already, they are from Jeffrey Campbell, and the style is called "Lita". I ordered mine from Solestruck. They are very popular tho, so I had to preorder months in adwance. I see they are sold out in this colour right now, but they'll probably restock, I guess. They fit true to size, I use 37, and got them in 7, and they fit me like a glowe. And, they are comfy to walk in. I swear. As comfy as tall shoes can be.
Hope that answered all of your questions:)

Dressed in a minute
November 5th, 2010
.
.
It's very typical me to be in a hurry.I don't like to admit it, but it's true. When I was a kid my dad used to say that I was born ten minutes late, and was still trying to make up for it.
Even though I feel like I do things pretty fast at times, it doesn't seem like I have scored any extra minutes just yet.
Anyway..I guess I prefer to call it spontaniousness. :)
.
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Fur is for animals
November 3rd, 2010
.
"The measure of a society can be how well its people treat its animals."
-Mahatma Gandhi
.
.
These last days there have been a lot of focus on use of fur in Norwegian media. Horrible pictures have been shown from Norwegian fur farms, and in politics they discuss if that industry should be illegal. I'm not going to post heartbreaking photos, neither am I going to talk politics. I could write for hours about the subject, cause it's something that I'm passionate about, but I'm not going to preach to you guys. All I want to say is that I wish everyone will take some time to think about animals. Just think about them. They are living creatures with needs and hearts, just like you and me. But on the contorary of humans they do no wrong. I just think it's very important that we protect them.We can't have animal abuse in a siviliced society.

If you are in Norway, please consider to join one of the torch rallys at the 13. November.
And please join this facebook group.

Ruby says thank you on behalf of the animals! :)

Everybody’s talking about Lanvin
November 2nd, 2010
.
I wasn't going to post about the Lanvin for H&M thing, so why am I? Haha..
First I have to say I'm kinda fed up with the designer collaboration idea in general, and the last couple of them that H&M did was crappy in my opinion.
Lanvin is brand that I have a lot of respect for, and I admire Alber Elbaz always elegant designs. But Lanvin for H&M...? Luxury on a budget..?
Now that pictures have been posted on blogs and we've gotten to see the lookbook, I'm starting to fell pretty positive. I'm not gonna stand in line on an early winter morning to fight over a bunch of coctail dresses tho. I don't need coctail dresses. Well, maybe just one..? Allright, allright..I'll probably be there. And I hope to get to try out one of those draped lbd's. Other than that I have to say this yellow piece is quite convincing.
.
What do you think about this whole thing? Excited? Or just tired of the hype?

Gold

It's so pretty outside now!
After a few dark and rainy days the sun started to shine, and lit up all of those gorgeous golden colours. And it all looks magical.
I want to be outdoors as much as I can, and enjoy these precious moments of sunshine before winter comes and takes it all away. It's important to recognize beauty when it's there, and really just enjoy all things good when we can. I love days like this!
