Saturday I went dancing with the stars

Photo: tv2

Saturday I was invited to come see the norwegian version of Dancing with the stars. I didn't dance myself but I sure would like to. It was almost impossible to sit still in the chair as the celebrities were shaking and moving.( I also had a little wine so the party mood was on!) The reason I was invited was that we had made a dress for the host of the evening, Cathrine Moholt. She got a new edititon of the Tone dress with a full circle volume skirt and some drapings under her bust. I love the colour for her and the countless of meters of silk chiffon draped around her.

I had put my golden peachy Chie Mihara shoes on and a pink dress I bought in Hong Kong.

Look at the amazing studio. It's a real ballroom feeling.

We were placed on a table right next to the band. We also had a view backstage where we could see all the nervous stars about to come out onto the floor.

I took along Stine, my brothers sweet, dear girlfriend. And I assure you, we do know how to have a good time. 

Amazing Cathrine Moholt

Stine had to take a photo of me and Cathrine holding her skirt out. It is so light silk that you can hardly see it.

Anna Anka was out of the competition which was a shame because she was really good. Also as Lady GaGa dancing to Pokerface. She looked like she was 23 in the bathing suit outfit and boots. WOW!!

As we were about to leave we stumbled upon this guy. Åge aka Glam from Wig Wam. I felt that I knew him so I went chatting along. Stine later asked me how long I had known this guy and it came to me that I actually didn't. But you know the feeling when you see famous people and you think its an old friend.

And this was another day at work. Later this week some of us are going to Barcelona. I can hardly wait!! Sun, cava and tapas.

Another ordinary day at work

This day was everything than ordinary. I was invited to attend a photoshoot at the Grand Hotel just down the street from my shop. It happened to be the day they opened the parliament with band playing and marching right outside our suite. We had a balcony to get a perfect view at what was going on. I pretended it was all for me:)

At the end of the street you can just see the castle. Oslo is beautiful!

The occasion was a interview for the magazine Kamille. I have never experienced this before. They had rented the Mikado suite, lined up stylist, photographer, make up artist and journalist just for me! I usually do it all myself.

The colours in the Mikado suite were beautiful and suited my wintercollection of dresses perfect. I put on different dresses and had fun with the photographer. On the couch.....

....on the bed.....

...and in the window behind the flowy curtains.

This is a teaser of what to come. Just kidding! We are not using this photo. This came out so funny we couldn't stop laughing. I laughed for days after thinking of this highly unnatural pose. Creds to photographer

Janne Rugland . I could get used to this and want to do it again!

Colours

I haven't been very active on my blog the last week. We have started redecorating our kitchen at home and I have been busy painting. In between, Magnus and I went out shopping and came home with this. New old stuff for the new kitchen. As you can see orange is the colour. I have decided to use a cold and breezy light blue colour on my walls accented with orange in the cups and stuff. The small enameled bowl is typical norwegian design from the 60's. I bought this at Jeppes bakgård together with the sweet salt and pepper thing in clear and orange glass. The box with fishes and the cup I got at åhlens.

 

This vase is also orange. So lets face it, orange is the colour. I fell in love with the smoky effect in the black. It flows like smoke or paint in water. So dramatic and quiet at the same time. I thought it would give my apartment a little bit of the mad men feeling. This is probably from the 70's.

These vases I bought at fretex in Stavanger and St. Hanshaugen. I love these colours together. Both warm and cold. I am also redecorating my living room after the kitchen and I have decided to use a new colour on the walls from Jotun. It's called 10249SOBER and I love it! It's dark brownish-gray. This will be accentuated by shades of yellow. I recently learned that yellow will become the new pink. So I'm planning for a fancy christmas in my newly done apartment. And by the way: It's all DIY so the reward of seeing the result will be even greater.

Documentary junkie

I am a documentary junkie. And look what I found! Grey Gardens the original documentary. Lately I have also watched films with topics like Why beauty matters and Impressionism: Revenge of the nice. This makes me work for hours and hours as I can watch it while I make some new dresses or design a new collection. It's so inspiring and educating, and legal as well.
Please feel free to namedrop some other documentaries worth watching.

It's Friday!!!!

I was so inspired by the sun and the fact that it was friday today that I made this painting when I came to work this morning. I needed a painting for my window exhibition and painted this with the colour for autumn. LOVE is in the air!

Maria and Camilla have styled the window in the shop with all the new products for fall. Colours, mmmmmm! I can almost taste it.

I wanted the window to have a artistic feel to it. Because painting and kissing are the best activities for rainy nights. 

Come to my shop and check out all the new gear we have for looking irresistable.

Purse charms for everyday chicness.

Beautyful, sweet and the best Maria ever is working this weekend. Come and say hello.
