From the paper for the No Siesta, Fiesta!-festival. Translation of the circled part: The costumes of a samba parade are especially important, naturally. This year they’ve had help to dress the participants of the parade. – We’ve been fortunate enough to have Maria Hansen Troøyen (me!) to help us with this. She’s very good with [...]

I’m at my mother’s for the week, spending time with the little sisters and watching three movies a day. I wanted to do an outfit post for you, but it was simply too cold, so you get pictures of some things I like instead.

New things, from left: Leaf-belt from H&M, chain necklace from BikBok, “Bella’s Choice” nail polish from H&M, “Mint Apple Candy” nail polish from Essie (bought here), and a pale green sweater from H&M. This is definitely my green phase.

On Tuesday we had a little girls’ night in, making mini-pizzas and having a lovely time. Ann-Iren surprised me with this little gift from where she works – she’s such a darling!

Inside were these gorgeous lace gloves I’ve been looking at every time I’ve been to the shop. They’re actually long enough to reach the [...]

It’s here, it’s here! In my eBay-post a few days ago I mentioned I’d ordered a petticoat, and here it is, in all its mint green tulle-ness. Fantastic, isn’t it? I’m so glad I decided to buy it – if I’d found a skirt like this on H&M for 270,- NOK I wouldn’t have hesitated [...]

When you’ve spent almost the entire day in bed, wishing you could unscrew your head and thus no longer feel sick, it is necessary with some good things to end the day: two Elles (the Collections edition for spring/summer 2010, and the British March edition with a fantastic-looking Liv Tyler on the cover), new lipstick [...]

If you read my previous post you’ll remember that I was a bit disappointed about the UK plug for my new ghd IV. Some of you left me lots of helpful tips in the comments, including one from Helene telling me I should be able to simply swap the UK plug for a European one.
I [...]

Yesterday I got a note in the mail telling me I had a mystery package that couldn’t fit in my mailbox and had to be picked up at the post office. My thoughts immediately went to the ghd IV straightener I ordered from Lookfantastic (on January the 22nd, if you’d like to know) – and [...]

I bought bags today. Yes, plural, bags. But they’re very different; this first one is for everyday use, and fits everything I need (except for my MacBook, but I don’t drag it that much around anyway). It’s from Lindex, by the way, and was on sale for 89,- NOK. Maja called it “the perfect old [...]

My new best friend, Biosilk’s Silk Therapy, photographed on my new skirt from H&M (it cost 30,- on sale!)
Ever since a period in 9th grade when I started styling my hair Lion-style (think short and MESSY), my hair has usually been in a permanent bed head state. Nothing easier than to squish some gel into [...]

I just now realized that I haven’t told you what Boyfriend got me for Christmas! Shame on you, Airam. I got a gift card for fonts (I adore nerdy gifts) and a very sexy pair of tights (black seamed fishnets, if you want to know). And yesterday a mysterious green package arrived in [...]

My Christmas calendar is almost over, and the experience has been rather interesting. You all seem to like me posting every day – which is a wonderful thing to hear! – but at the same time I find it hard to come up with interesting posts that often. I feel a little silly when I [...]

When it comes to the present part of Christmas, I had my Christmas Eve yesterday. You see, ever since I borrowed an SLR camera a while ago I’ve been planning to buy one for myself, and after much research and pro & con-lists with Boyfriend and Cookie, I decided I wanted a Canon EOS 500d. [...]

Dear readers – something quite extraordinary happened today. I was walking through that trusted old joint H&M, not even looking for someone in particular, but merely enjoying the Christmas spirits. My eyes drifted towards the sales’ section, where you can usually find something to satisfy a desperate urge without paying too big a price, but [...]

A few days ago I found this Norwegian online store called NEGLEMAKERIET, and I am now a huge fan. Not only do they sell all sorts of things I have been looking for (more on that in my next post!), but they have a special offer for bloggers (I just received a mail informing me [...]

Depend nail polishes, from left nr. 115, nr. 176, nr. 170 and nr. 169.
I’m back in Tromsø and back at school, and with my fingernails painted in Depend’s nr. 176. It’s a little wonder of a polish, changing between grey, purple and blue depending on the light. I love Depend’s tiny bottles as they’re so [...]
