A new friend!

2011-11-16T07:05:00.000-08:00

I made a new friend a couple days back. Visited me at my house. I'm not sure if it's a guy or a girl, and I don't know who owns it.... but he/she has a lovely soft fur. Unfortunately Sirius(Aka doggie doo) doesnt like him/her very much so I don't think ill see her/him very often :/

16.November, jeg gleder meg!

Dresses!

2011-11-15T10:50:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd show you people what new clothes I got on Saturday :)

Sparkle sparkle!

The two last dresses look kinda big and square, but they look really cute on :)

Martin Schoeller

2011-11-12T08:05:00.000-08:00

I wonder if theres anyone who ever said no to being photografed by this guy, he seems to have taken a portrait picture of almost everyone. I love the simplicity of the portraits and the feeling of movement and life in the other ones. Martin Schoeller is deffinitely a name to remember!

Filling up my winter wardrobe!

2011-11-12T07:19:00.000-08:00

Winter's comming and I've used the day to get some more warm clothes. Got a cute skaterdress, a cardigan and some turtleneck sweaters at cubus, and when I got home the clothes I ordered from ellos not long ago had arrived, so now Im ready, the winter can come!

Winter is comming!

2011-11-09T06:34:00.000-08:00

I'm no huge fan of the cold dark winter, and last years winter was hell, with almost 6 months of freezing cold and snow, but I'm actually looking forward to the snow now :) I dont have any nice winter coats, so I'm freezing when I go to school, but except for that I kinda like the cold. Wearing warm comfy clothes, woolsocks and snuggling up in blankets, its so cozy! Oh and of course, dont forget the cocoa with marshmallows in it, mmmm!
The best thing about winter is December! I love the time before christmas, opening calendars, buying gifts, baking, decorating and listening to christmas music, I just love it :D

Adorable!

2011-11-09T05:30:00.000-08:00

Cute couples!

2011-10-05T05:28:00.000-07:00

Ive never been very into celebritys personal life, but I do have some favorite couples. Theyre all some of my favorite actors(and director and singer) and put together in pairs they're just great! :)

Sacha Baron Cohen & Isla Fisher

He's funny, she's funny.... Oh and the height difference is adorable!

Fergie & Josh Duhamel

She's hot and so is he..... 'Nuff said.

Tim Burton & Helena Bonham Carter

Why? Because they're probably the most awesome couple ever, thats why!

Happy songs!

2011-09-20T03:37:00.000-07:00

There some songs that never fail to make me feel good, no matter in what mood im in.

Simply beautiful. Love it!

Cant listen to Pumped up kicks or moves like jagger without dancing, its just impossible!

Sad, but beautiful.

For some reason I have the censored version on my ipod... Its just not the same :/

Schools back!

2011-09-20T03:01:00.000-07:00

And it has been for a couple of weeks. Only thing good about it is that it means dancing has started again too.

Describes how I feel about school quite nicely; Stfu and let me go back to sleep!

Love? Life?

2011-08-27T16:39:00.000-07:00

From we're small children we're told that love hurts. Books, movies, tv-shows, they all say it, love hurts. I dont think thats true. Im not hurting because I'm in love. I'm not hurting because he says he loves me back, cause I believe he does. I'm hurting cause he's not willing to give in to it. He wont give me any actuall proof that he does. Theres always a certain insecurity; is it today he's gonna tell me it cant last, that it was all a mistake? or is he gonna pretend its all good?
I dont think its good to always be scared, always be feeling like this exact second is the last one. That after now theres nothing. And if it really was true, that after ive written this i simply stop existing... Im not sure who would care. Would anyone care? Or would it all be an act. Cause of course people would be sad, deaths are sad. But would they really care? And would they be sad for what that meant to them, or what it meant to me? I wish I knew, cause maybe then I wouldnt be so sad and scared all the time. Always feeling like im always second best. I know I am, ive been sitting all night trying to figuire out if I'm number one in anyones hearts or heads or whatever desides who we care about. And I dont think I am. I know Im only 15, and I know I think way too much. But shouldnt I still feel like I matter? atleast a little bit? I think I should.... but maybe Its true what they say; Im just a little girl, I dont understand things like this.

Just waiting for the night to come....

2011-08-21T14:10:00.000-07:00

I love castles, both real and fictional ones. Hogwarts is my favorite of course, but there are many nice ones.

This is so cute!!!

2011-08-18T16:25:00.000-07:00

Pack up - Eliza doolittle

2011-08-18T16:14:00.000-07:00

Ive just fallen in love with this song!

Just a little hint about what I'm working on.

2011-08-18T14:39:00.000-07:00

True grit!

2011-08-17T17:15:00.000-07:00

Love that movie!

The heart wants what the heart wants!

2011-08-17T15:53:00.000-07:00

Forget the apples...

2011-08-17T14:13:00.000-07:00

...I need a visit from Dr. martens!

I really love these shoes! And as soon as im not as broke as i am right now, im gonna buy them

Is it just me....

2011-08-16T10:56:00.000-07:00

...Or did swedish just get a thousand times hotter?

Am I the only one who thinks Aleksander Skarsgård is pure deliciousness?

Ballerina dreams

2011-06-21T18:51:00.000-07:00

If I could i'd wear tutu's and ballet clothes all the time. It's so elegant and girly. Sadly I can't do that(or I can but yeah....). There is though many ways to dress to feel like a ballerina. I was browsing polyvore when I found a pic of a ballerina putting on her shoes. Just the colours and the mood of the pic made me wanna make something...So I did

With such elegance...

Olala!

2011-06-21T15:45:00.000-07:00

Jeans! Must be if not the most worn garment in the world, atleast one of them. And why not? They're nice and very versatile. Skinny, loose, bootcut, boyfriend... there are soo many different kinds, and not to mention colours. There is a jean for almost every occasion.
Except for the many different looks, I don't know much about jeans, except that they're made of denim that in norwegian have many names; denim, dongeri, ola(therefore the title), but thats not very usefull information for people who dont live around here. What could be usefull for people everywhere to know is that jeans and other things made of denim is very in right now. Skirts, jackets, blouses, and of course the jeans pants have been all over the runways and shops lately.
A brand that I think made one of the best campaigns using lots of denim this season is a spanish one called blanco. Unfortunately blancos online store only ships to spain and the countries around it(canary island etc) so you'd have to go there to get them, but I still love the pictures enough to post them, for inspiration, and to annoy everyone who knows they'll never get any of it(myself included).

My favorites are definitely the dark jeans on the first picture, the whole outfit in the second(especcially the headband ;P) and the dress. If anyone knows anywhere else I can find clothes similar to those, please please please tell me!

Oh, and the car mmm, me like!

Yaaaaaaaaay!

2011-06-20T07:29:00.000-07:00

...Yeah, I couldnt think of anything else....

The last few days I have done a lot of my favorite activity... shopping :D And actually, most of it has even been things I needed, or really wanted, not only things I "needed" cause they were pretty... So, I've been pretty good.

Saturday I went shopping with my sister, and I was really looking for a bikini, but I didnt find any... so i bought a tee, sunglasses and shorts instead. I actually needed the sunglasses though, so not all of it was completely useless.

Today I also did a little bit of shopping, with my mom this time. And after looking for bikinis all saturday I was kinda sick of trying them on and stuff, so we found a store i have a giftcard at, picked three bikinis and bought one of them. I was really looking for one that will stay on even if i dive and jump and all that stuff, cause the ones I have now barely stay on when im swimming... And the one ended up buying is a bit better then the ones I have.. but not too much... It has ruffles tho, so it's ok. (Amazing logic, I know)

Then I tried finding something else to spend the rest of the giftcard on and I found a Helly Hansen bag with a super reduced prize, so i got that too, cause I've actuallt been thinking that I need that. And I've desided, I really like this bag... not sure why, I just do.

After that we took the escalators up, and down... and up..... aaaand down again :P But when we finally got to the record store my mom bought 3 muse cd's. Cause muse is awesome, and so is my mom.

Then we took the escalators back up... twice. And then we drooove away... Til the last stop on our journey(I'll write a book about it, "Escalators in Tønsberg", Yay), Stoff og stil!
Its a place where they sell sewing machines, fabrics, sewing patterns, buttons, zippers, threads, neadles... yeah you get the point, all that stuff. And since I've lately been sewing more and more I found out I would spend some of the money I got for my confirmation on my own sewing machine(since mom is using hers alot herself, and I dont like waiting).
Also I needed something more to sew, so we bought a pretty polkadot fabric with flowers on it, and im gonna make a full skirt out of it, when i come back from barbados that is.

Still in the box...

Pretty fabric

----
So this friday I'm going to Cuba, and then later barbados, but I'll try to make one more madmen post first, just to have equally many girls and guys ;)

Cupcakes anyone?

2011-06-16T14:46:00.000-07:00

Today was last day of school, yay :D
And to celebrate, I made cupcakes... lots of cupcakes :P Way more cupcakes than I had planned actually, so now we have cupcakes all over the kitchen :)

And these are just some of the ones I made.... Cute colours tho :)

The only thing today that wasnt so nice was that it was the last day with our teacher, Halvor. He's the best teacher i've ever had and it really sucks that we're not having him next year too. Except for that everything was fine, even the weather :)

Dress me up like: Joan Harris!

2011-06-14T11:06:00.000-07:00

...or Holloway if you'd like.

Joan has a perfect hourglass figure and she knows how to show it off. She wears tight hip-hugging dresses and skirts, most of them reaching her to her knees. Most have none or very little cleavage which makes her still look decent. She also wears mid height heels, and simple jewelery. Her most "famous" piece of jewelery is probably the little pencil necklace that is even mentioned in one of the mad men episodes.

wear the skirt with this cute blouse from This etsy shop.

A classic high waisted pencil skirt Here

Rasberry coloured wiggle dress from This etsy shop

An evening dress a la joan from modcloth

Etsy have many pen necklaces, I like this one.

Red kitten heel pumps from This etsy shop.

Brown shoes from This etsy shop

Match your outfit with a red lipstick and a fancy updo and voila!

Sorry for not blogging lately, but I've been tired and sick.

Bliss

2011-06-02T13:55:00.000-07:00

Today I was served breakfast in bed. A plate with buns, lemoncake and foccachia. A great way to start the day!
The weather has been great all day, 20 degrees and just some wind. So for lunch we drove our double ender to the other side of the fjord and ate seafood and ice cream. It has been a great day, which is good, cause the rest of the week I will spend with 15(!!!) other people at our cabin near the mountains... I'm just glad I have my own little loft, cause maybe then I will have a little bit privacy... but probably not.

Old fashioned vanilla and mint chocolatechip, mmm<3

Lagertha!

Just a little boat that passed us on our way home.

I'm sorry for not posting any mad men posts lately, I'll try to post one tonight if I have the time.

Ma chambre

2011-06-01T22:53:00.000-07:00

This summer I'm going to fix my room. New paint, some fixing of furnitures, cleaning up all the childrens books, etc. And because of that I've been looking at many articles about how to fix rooms in a cheap, simple way... And there is one thing that annoys me; When they talk about typical teen rooms, they are all boring and plain and needs more colour... If there is one thing my room doesn't need thats more colour!

I have pink walls, and the furniture is mostly black and wood coloured. There isnt a place by the wall not covered with a desk, a shelf or a chair. So just to make sure there is atleast one blog that lets people know that not all teen rooms are boring and sterile I thought I'd post some pics of my room.

I cleaned a little before taking the pics, but I have way too much stuff so it still looks messy thats why most of them are only of smaller details.

E is for Emilie. And some yarn, just in case...

First book I'll read when

I'm done with the hitchhikers guide.

Two of my favorite shirts, half because they're nice,
and half because I dont have room for them in my closet.

All my favorites, Twilight, HP,Inkheart and Alanya.

Even more books, and where I like to sit reading them.

Jewlery <3

My lovely piggy/cow/car/flowerpot-banks

There once were two fish in a bowl, they're names were Prince and
Marlboro. Prince died early only months old, but Marlboro stayed for
a very long time. Untill one day, he was suddenly gone.

I got a Merrit in grade 3. I went all the way up to 6th grade, but never took the exam.
This fall I took my first medal in the UTD system, diplomas are fun, but medals are even more fun ;)

Yep, so thats just a little bit of my room, colours and clutter <3

Hamley says hi =)

I am a teenager, its my duty to....

2011-05-30T16:29:00.000-07:00

...post some outfit-posts. Sorry, I know, they most of the time are boring with clothes none likes, awkward poses and fake smiles... Well, there won't be anything of the last two atleast, 'cause there won't be people in the pictures. The clothes aren't really excactly like the ones I've worn(except for the boots and sandals, they're the excact same as I have), because most of my clothes are a few years old, so they're imposible to find on polyvore, but ive found similar ones. Or atleast clothes that give the same style and feeling.

My dress has a high waist, and a full skirt, except for that this is pretty much
what I wore on sunday. It looked kind of vintage-ish, and really cute if I may say so myself.

I didn't wear my blazer today, because I didnt realize before after school that it would look cool. I didnt wear my sandals either, it was too cold, but my hunters looked pretty much just as awesome.

I guess both outfits are kind of grey and boring, but I like them, and both kept me warm in the rain.

I've given up pretending like I dont care...

2011-05-29T17:12:00.000-07:00

I care, and I miss you so badly! Everytime I see you I feel like crying. Everytime I see her I just wanna run and hide. Everytime I see the two of you together I feel my heart breaking all over again.

I've tried to hide away what I feel but it just makes it all so much worse. Telling myself you're not worth it, my friends telling me I should just get over you, "I deserve something better", it doesnt help! Not at all. I just want you back. Our boring meaningless chats, and awkward calls. The funny moments, having our own jokes that no one else understood.

It's been so long, and still I cant stop thinking about you, about us.

I dont think you've ever quite gotten how much it all meant to me, I dont think I've gotten how much it meant. But I do now, 'cause I miss you so much!

Sorry, I just needed to write it somewhere...

Dress me up like: Don Draper!

2011-05-27T15:27:00.000-07:00

Yep, now it's time to give the guys some styling, and who dresses better than Don? That's right, no one does!

Don's style is business like. Sharp and unpersonal. He has some different suits and shirts, and rather many different ties, but he usually sticks to one style. A medium grey, taylored, slim suit, a white shirt, and a dark, retro(well, it wouldn't have been in the 50's start of 60's, but now it is) tie. Oh yes, and of course some black shoes.

A very nice, grey suit from Brooks brothers

Simple and black, just like Don's, from Bexley

Don wears white shirts with french cuffs, I bet he'd like this one from Mens-wear.

This classic, simple tie from This etsy shop is pretty spot on what Don wears

Don wears cufflinks, not buttons. These from Amazon have a clean, simple design.

Now just put on a grey fedora, grab a smoke and a glass of whiskey and you're as Don as you can get ;)

Towel day!

2011-05-27T13:46:00.000-07:00

Yes, the day before yesterday it was towel day. If you don't know what it is, just google it, I wont even try to explain. Anyways, I love days that are something special, but not super special, like Towel day, so I of course had to "celebrate". I couldnt carry a towel around all day, because of work, but I had to do something. So what did I do? I went swimming!
Was it cold? Well... if I say no it'll just seem like the water was warm so taking a bath was no problem. If I say yes I'll seem like a sissy... It was ok!

See the towel? :P

And I got this :D I've wanted to read it for a long time and finally I found someone to borrow it from. I actually want to read it so much it'll jump right past the 20 + other books in my "have-to-read"-pile.

I went to swim yesterday too, it was colder then, and the sun wasn't up, so it was cold above water too... But I survived!

----

Sorry about not posting in a while, I was going to yesterday, but my pictures wouldnt load.

Dress me up like: Betty Francis!

2011-05-24T14:33:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd make some posts about how to dress like some of the characters from mad men, my absolute favorite tv-show. I'll probably post about one every day, or maybe every second if I have a lot to do. First out is Betty Francis, or Draper if you want.

Betty is an upper middle class mom, and thats what she dresses like. She is always impeccable, and close to flawless. No matter if she is going to the store, having a party or just doing laundry(not that she ever does that herself) she always looks good, with her hair and makeup done and a perfectly put together outfit. Even though Betty wears a lot of different outfits there are a few key-pieces if you want her look.

-Big pearl earrings

Both these from Miss Selfridge

From Miss Selfridge

White ones from This etsy shop, blue ones from This etsy shop ;)

-Full skirts with a nipped in high waist, with a petticoat or crinoline under

All from Modcloth, the flowered one is out of stock right now, out but I thought it

was too much Betty to be left out.

Another thing you should have to get the Betty look, is a bullet bra. They might seem funny, but they’ll give that sculptured chest shape. ‘Cause you can’t just put on a full skirted dress and call it a Betty ;)

And last but not least, wear it with simple makeup and maybe a red lipstick. The hair should be polished and always look like you just fixed it.

---

Sorry for going a bit crazy with the paint on some of the pictures, but I was so bired, and it was so much fun :)

-Mid height pumps

Grey is such a lively color!

2011-05-22T11:14:00.000-07:00

Today I deside to go orienteering, even if it was cold and rainy. I only found two of the orange things, because the rest were so far away, but two are better than none, right? When I had found them I desided to go dip my feet in a lake nearby just to get some more time in the forest. It was kinda cold, but not really too bad, next time its nice weather i'll probably go swim there.

Yey!

I actually found a dead bug in my shoes when I got home.

I have ten toes, divided equally on two very pale feet.

Same river, pictures taken from two different angles.

Stairway to heaven...

I cant wait till all these become lovely wild strawberries, then I'll go back there and eat all of them, yummy <3

You're the jam on my jellyroll...

2011-05-21T16:39:00.000-07:00

In all outfits its alway all about the details, here are some of my favorite accesories at the moment, enjoy =)

I love bows, I love polkadots and i deffinitely love this cute bow from ruche

Socks often seem to ruin my outfits, these from ruche never will.

As much as we all like to pretend summer never really comes to our cold country, these boots from ruche will make every cold, grey day a little brighter

I dont think these need any explanaition, they're just really cute. From ruche of course.

Ive never understood why so many umbrellas are black and boring, when they can be pink and cute like this one from Miss selfridge

I like my hair, but sometimes I just want to cut it all of and dye it blue, maybe if I had this cute headband from Miss selfridge there would be fewer days like that...

This is just big enough for my wallet and phone, perfect! From Miss selfridges.

I don't know if its because im a ballet dancer or not, but I just love lace-up shoes, and the pattern on these from Miss selfridge just makes me really happy!

I love stockings and i love garter belts, and these two from Tabio are both those in one, just gotta love it!

Greenwaves

2011-05-20T22:45:00.000-07:00

I'm not quite sure what greenwaves actually are(if they are anything at all), but when I look out now thats what I think about. Its 7 30 am and for some strange reason I'm actually awake. The morning sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the trees and gras looks so much greener than it looked last night. From where I'm sitting I can also see a whole bunch of lilac trees and I can only imagine how wonderfull it would smell if i was sitting under them. It's all very beautiful, and I almost feel like putting on the song greenwaves by secret garden and run around singing, but i wont do that, 'cause it's still way too early for that much activity.

I wish I had a nice picture of my garden to post, but I dont, so this one from wikipedia will have to do. I love lilacs

Hey!

2011-05-20T22:23:00.000-07:00

First post for my new blog... Is this where I'm supposed to write all about myself and why I made this blog?

Well, who am I? I'm a pretty ordinary 15 year old girl from somewhere up north. Maybe not completely ordinary since I write in english even though I speak a completely different language, but I like english, it often seems to make more sence to me than many other languages do.

Why did I make this blog? Because I can, and because my computer desktop is getting too full of quotes and links, so I need someone to share them all with.

Why did I chose that silly name for my blog? Because all off the good names were taken, and my blog will be about my life in a house in Storgata.

I should probably also write what this blog will be about, but I really don't know. My life I guess, and most of the things in it, which is clothes, guys, chatting and dancing mostly.

Enjoy!
