Hiking in Nordmarka

Only 15 minutes from the city center of Oslo, you can find a magnificent area to hike called Nordmarka. Because I am a big fan of everything active outdoors like hiking, backpacking, making my own fire in front of the tent, ... this place is heaven on earth for me. Since we arrived a month ago we have been up there almost every weekend and I always feel so calm and extremely happy when I'm back home. I know there is nothing fashionable about my hiking gear but I didn't want to keep this pictures from you. The nature here is almost unbelievable and always makes me feel tiny and calm. The best remedy after a week of hard work.

Going for a stroll through the city

      

Ikks boots, Zara Jeans, Sessún shirt, Swatch watch.

Today was a sunny, lovely day in Oslo (yes, it is already dark here, so it feels the day is almost at his end :() and since we have a day off on Wednesdays we decided to go for a walk through the city. So, I wore a simple outfit which definitely made me feel really comfortable. I just adore this Sessún shirt. 

Hope you guys had a lovely day, let me know what you think!

Duplicity

1. An outfit in which I felt extremely comfortable.

2. Champagne.

3. My boyfriends extremely lovely boots. Perfect for the Norwegian winter.

4. Thé perfect Christmas dress from COS.

5. Statement jewellery at PFW.

6. Mie, a cutie from Vietnam.

Androgyn

 Cos- sweater, Sacha shoes, Pieces bag, United colors of Benetton coat.

So, finally an outfit post! This oversized Cos sweater is definitely one of my favourite pieces this autumn. I really like the androgyn, oversized, masculine trend sweeping through fashion land. I do always need a feminin touch, that's why I tried to wear my hair a bit '60 like :).

Hope you like it,

Jeg elsker Norge

 

As you might have noticed I`m a huge fan of everything Scandinavian: design, fashion, retail, writers, sea food ... You can imagine how happy I was when I got my new job here :). During the last weeks I have been drooling over the most beautiful shop windows, I´ve eaten the best reindeer in my life, I had more sea food then I could possibly eat on a conference and I met the most stylish people. It has to be said: scandinavian youngsters are among the most stylish ones I have ever seen. And wow they can make wedding dresses, I saw this one the other day and had to find out who the designer was. Unfortunately I still don´t know.

See you! There´s an outfit post coming up tomorrow with my new favourite Cos sweater :)

First weeks in Norway

I know it has taken me some time to come back, but I did find my place here in the beautiful capital of Norway. Although I didn't think I would blog here due to the adjustments, change of clima and of course my work here, I admit that I really missed it. 

These are some pictures of my first week here in Oslo and as you can see it is already cold and windy but the city is incredibly beautiful. This coat must be one of the best buys I ever did :), it is cosy and warm and protects me from the rain and wind.

Holidays are over

I know I don't deserve the term "blogger" anymore after my 2 months absence but I have been enjoying my last long holiday before starting work-life to the fullest. Our one month backpacking trip through Laos & Cambodja definitely was my absolute holiday highlight. Asia just breathes solemness and magic: 

1. Novices in Luang Prabang. Budhism is omnipresent in Laos.

2. Hmong (ethnic minority) child.

3. Motoriding through Pakse.

4. Fried spring rolls (these are Lao ones, definitely the best!)

5. Angkor Thom: the Bayon.

6. Ko Khong islang, South Cambodja: poor island children wanting to play with us.

7. Fresh coconut. 

I'm definitely back and will be posting some outfitshots soon :). 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures, 

Saar.
