PREPPING

Right now we´ve got a small greenery on out dining table just waiting to be moved out on our brand new terrace. I´ve always dreamed of picking fresh greens for my salads and especially for my favorite breakfasts on Saturdays. If you ask me I really like these small plants, so having them right next to us every evening really don´t bother me. Maybe we´d have to get some more to replace them when they sadly have to move 15 feet away. We´ve also planted lots of seeds so please please please let ut have herbs at some point!

Vi har en liten hage på spisebordet som bare venter på å bli flyttet ut på vår splitter mye veranda. Jeg har alltid drømt om å plukke grønnsaker rett fra “hagen” til salatene mine og spesielt til favorittfrokostene mine på lørdager. Hadde det vært opp til meg kunne vi beholdt disse små grønnsaksplantene ved siden av oss mens vi inntar måltidene våre, men kanskje vi heller må skaffe oss noen flere når de må flytte hele 5 meter unna. Vi har også plantet masse frøså krysser fingrene for at vi får masse urter på et tidspunkt!

SUNNIES

Spring is in the air and on paper I´ve turned 29 years of age. It continues to amaze me how I year after year feel so great about getting older. Obviously, it makes me wonder when the tables will turn and I begin to feel the other way around, but one of my best qualities is beeing positive in most situations. At least that´s what I think. No dreams have been destroyed in my 29th year and all is good. Happy birthday to me (ehm, two days ago..) and keep ut the good hope. And as the title of the post implies, it´s finally sunny enought to bring out my sunnies, and that is always a sign we´re going in the right direction.

Våren har kommet og på papiret har jeg fylt et år eldre. Det fortsetter å overraske meg hvordan jeg år etter år fortsatt ser det som noe positivt å bli eldre. Selvfølgelig får dette meg til å tenkte på når jeg kommer til å forakte at tallet stiger, men en av mine beste kvaliteter tror jeg må være at jeg klarer å se det positive i de fleste situasjoner. I det minste er dette hvordan jeg ser meg selv. Ingen drømmer har blitt knust i mitt 29 år og alt er etter min mening helt fantastisk. Gratulerer med dagen til meg (for to dager siden!). Ja, også var det en gladnyhet det at vi endelig kan bruke solbriller igjen da. Alltid et sikkert tegn på at vi er på rett vei.

COVERED

It´s been one heck of a winter. So far it´s been nothing but all white everything. And I´m freezing my ass off, god damn it. This weekend it got a bit better though, so I finally got the chance to wear something else than a down jacket. One blogpost covered. Yey! Here I´m off to celebrate my friends birthday. (I can´t resist a celebration..)

Wearing Raf Simons coat, Celine bag, Weekday velour pants, Whyred boots and GANT denim jacket, shirt & tie.

A THING FOR BRASS

I´ve realized I have a thing for brass these days. My recent purchase was a beautiful hand-blown carafe with hand painted brass details from Tom Dixon and the high ball glasses in the same style. I got mine here. The glasses looks great filled up with some gin & tonic and the carafe is perfect for red wine. The rest of the stuff pictures is vintage and produced in Norway. Except the vase. That one´s from Bolia.

CHANNELING

For quite som time I´ve been saying that wearing a suit doesn´t necessarily have to make you look all dressed up, and wearing a suit for a casual occation is something we all should do more often. ..given a suit on a man always looks oh-so flattering! Well, it´s time to put my money where my mouth is. The typical combination with a crisp shirt makes it a bit to obvious (and dressy), so being that every fashion forcaster still is channeling that whole 70´s vibe, which I haven´t given that much thought, the 70´s became my main inspiration for this outfit. The not-to-warm cotton/wool-turtleneck turned out to be a really good friend for my navy double breasted suit, don´t you agree? Paired up with one of my fave pair of sneakers I´m ready for whatever fun the weekend might bring. I think I should wear a suit more often, and you should probably do the same.

Wearing a hopsack suit & belt from GANT Rugger, turtleneck from GANT, sneakers from Adidas, vintage jewelry and Ray Ban sunnies (in chest pocket).

ILSE CRAWFORD X IKEA

 

A couple of weeks ago IKEA announced that the British interior designer Ilse Crawford is teaming up with them for a limited edition collection. I´ll get my hands on some of the pieces in August, for sure. Highly anticipated!

IN THE BEDROOM

I don´t kiss and tell! ..but here are some detail shots from the bedroom. That green color of the walls is perfectly calming and much recommended.

Linens from Gant Home, Vintage candleholders, Habitat lamp & nightstand from Designtorget.

PLANTS IN INTERIOR

I´m still very much into all those plants when it comes to interior (and exterior). It brings such a fresh breath (literally) to every room and I just can´t seem to get enough. On the top of my plant-wishlist is one of those really tall ones with the large leaves. Shout out if you know the name of the it. ..would be perfect for our living room.

SUNDAY MORNINGS

This is how I usually spend my Sunday mornings; reading books (or magazines) while having my morning coffee. One of the latest additions to my collection of books is Modernism Discovered by Julius Shulman. 575 pages, all paying homage to California Modernism from 1946 – 1983. I also mark the pages that I really like with little notes. For inspiration for my next place, you know! My outfit isn´t exactly worth blogging about, it´s nothing but my robe and a pair of slippers. Get your hands on Modernism Discovered and other goodies from Taschen here. For Books with Style, head over to Shopbop. Have a lovely Sunday.
