God Jul/ Happy Christmas!


Trodde dere jeg hadde glemt siste luken i kalenderen?  Neida, bare litt treg. Nå er julebalubaen over i butikken for vår del. Vi var veldig spente på hvordan det ville gå nå som vi hadde kuttet ned på arealet i butikken. Jeg må si at det har gått over all forventning. Kundene har vært blide og ventet tålmodig i kø mens jentene i butikken har pakket gaver til den store gullmedaljen. Tusen takk alle som har vært på vakt i butikken i desember. Dere har gjort en formidabel innsats! Vi er på plass igjen fra tirsdag kl 12-17 om det var noe noen glemte å kjøpe til nyttårsaften.
Jeg har lagt merke til at det er mange faste som har svart på spørsmål på julekalennderen vår. Det jeg vil ha dere til å gjøre i dag er: de som ikke har vært så heldige å bli trukket har nå sjansen ved å fortelle meg hvorfor akkurat du fortjener dette nydelige glassperlesmykket.
God Jul alle venner!

I love shoes!


I got a new delivery to my shop yesterday. New shoes from a Norwegian designer who is also a dear friend of mine. The shoes are of excellent quality and are so comfortable to wear. They have a cushioned front giving extra comfort when you are wearing killer heels like this. I looooooove!!


This is my colour range but you can also get other colours at Dagestad and Svean who also carry this brand.


Which colour to choose? 


Marion Ravn wore a dress by this designer together with the same designers shoes. This dress is amazing!

Advanced style


One of my favourite blogs at the moment is advancedstyle.blogspot.com.
I am turning 40 in a couple of years but now I'm more eager on turning 70. It oozes confidence and glamour! Mamie Van Doren, who's now in her eighties once said that 70 is the new 40. Isn't that just great? 


Todays question is: Who is the founder of this blog?

Winner of Singin' in the Rain question


Kirsti! You are the winner of yesterdays 'julekalender'. For answering correctly you won this Mini Mouse ring. Send me an email, please and don't forget about the mice during christmas. It's getting cold outside and the mice are freezing:) Here are the lyrics of my favourite norwegian christmas song:
Musevisa
Tekst: Alf Prøysen
Når nettene blir lange og kulda setter inn
så sier vesle musemor til ungeflokken sin:
Hvis ingen går i fella, men passer seg for den,
skal alle sammen snart få feire jul igjen!

ref: Heisan og Hopsan og fallerallera!
 Om julekvelden da skal alle sammen være gla!
Heisan og Hopsan og fallerallera!
Om julekvelden da skal alle sammen være glad

Ja musemor er flittig, hun tar et stykke kull
og sverter tak og vegger i sitt lille musehull,
mens barna feier golvet og danser som en vind
og soper borti krokene med halen sin.

ref.

Omsider kommer kvelden som alle venter på
og musefar han trekker fram en støvel uten tå,
den pynter de med spindelvev og småspiker og sånn,
og så putter de en flaskekork i hempa på'n
 
ref.

Og musefaren sier, nå skal vi danne ring,
la støvlen stå i midten så går vi rundt omkring.
Vi gir hverandre halen som vi kan leie i,
og en og to og tre, og så begynner vi!
 
ref.

Og julematen deres, det er ei lita nøtt,
og så et stykke dropspapir for dem som liker søtt.
Og musemor har stillet opp en fleskebit på skrå,
og den får alle sammen lov å lukte på.
 
ref.

Ja musebestemora er også kommet inn,
nå sitter hun og koser seg i gyngestolen sin.
Det æ'kke orntli gyngestol, d'er no' som alle vet,
hun sitter der og gynger på en stor potet.
 
ref.

Så hopper de, så danser de, så traller de en stund
til musefaren sier:"Det er best vi tar en blund."
Og ungene de legger seg, mens pappa holder vakt,
men selv i søvne traller de i hopsatakt:
 
ref.

Og bestemora gjesper, og sier slik som så:
"D'er morosamt med jula for dessa som er små,
(og) hvis ingen går i fella, men passer seg for den,
skal alle sammen snart få feire jul igjen!"
 
ref.

Margaret Thatcher and her earrings


I was always facinated by her as a little girl. I've always been facinated by strong women. Women that doesen't care if they are looked upon as 'cold' or 'bitchy' just because they are acting like a normal man would do. Now Meryl Streep is doing a fantastic job acting her in a new movie. The question is: what is the name of the movie? See a teaser trailer here. Of course, I was mostly facinated by her earrings. Check out my selection of Margaret earrings below. All in my shop and online.

Corsets


We have a variety of  light and flowy wedding gowns and coctail dresses in silk chiffon and exquisite lace, but there is a secret they hide. To get the perfect fit to the body we make sewn-in corsets on the inside of the dress. A corset is looked upon as something hard and stiff but our goal is to still keep the lightness of the dress despite of this restricted inside. The side effect is that your posture straightens and your waitsline looks amazing.


Todays question is: mention some of the stuff you would find on the inside of the corsets throughout history. And add some fun facts. I love this!


Have a wonderful monday, good people! It's only 5 days to christmas.

The bias cut


Todays question is: Who invented the bias cut? In case you havent heard of bias cut it's when you cut a fabric diagonnaly to the grain line. This is done to create a flowy effect of the fabric and make it beautifully draped onto the body.
I use this technique frequently and this is two examples of the look it creates.

Merry christmas!!


Oslo has been too warm lately to really understand that its just 9 days to christmas, but yesterday it really hit me. We went to visit the girls at Pro-senteret, and those who work for Bikuben. Pro-senteret is a place where people who have been in touch with prostitution can come and get help and support. They had totally decorated for christmas:) We had waffles and sang som christmas songs together and had a lot of fun. We wanted to thank the girls for the work they are doing for us, so me, Kirsti, Anna and Sunniva took a break from our usual work to go see them. Pro-senteret is located just down the street from us.


Todays question is: what kind of work do the girls at Bikuben do for us? I have written about it here


We are very grateful for the work they do for us with precision and accuracy. Thank you girls and merry christmas!!
