London and the Baftas

This weekend we were invited to come to London to attend the Bafta party and say hello to some of our new friends from Hollywood. We didn't hesitate and hopped on a plane to get there. 

London was a nice break to a hectic period in the shop in Oslo. It wasn't that cold and snowy in London either.

Lunchtime 

The award show took place at the Opera house in Covent garden and we went down there to take a look at the preparations.

When we got back to the hotel, this was what met us in our room

The tickets for the Bafta after party. We even got the VIP tickets to party with the nominees. Excititng!

Sunday we had a date with our girl Christina Simpkins to deliver her a dress for the Oscars. She was wearing Cecilie Melli for the Bafta as well. We also had a delivery for the wife of Nat Faxon for Oscars.

We came a bit early to the hotel for all the Bafta people and had time to hang around and look at people,

Do some inspirational research...

and read the paper.

Hello!

Our meetings went well. We did some fitting, chatted and had a nice time. We also exchanged some gifts and this is Christina with her new fish skin purse. The poncho she got when we were in Hollywood. Cecilie Melli from head to toe, almost.

Lunchtime with my leis that Christina brought me from Hawaii

We were hoping to meet George at the party, but this happened to be the closest we got.

Window shopping

Partytime!

We were amazed of the celebrity spotting but we tried to stay cool and not do the photos right in their faces. We did our own, though.

Photobooth with wind machine. Need I say more? 

This was my weekend. How about yours?

Another day at work

I have been busy after coming home from Hollywood and doing the G&I trade fair last week. I was kind of stressed out when Linda from my pr agency called me yesterday to tell me that reps from Moroccan Oil was in town and I had to meet them. We met and I fell in love with Antonio, the creative director of Moroccan Oil. He wanted to have my dresses on their event today and asked me to come and speak a little of my design. I could not resist.

I took a stroll down to the Opera to be there at 11am. Even if it was a grey day and freezing cold the view was quite beautiful, don't you think?

The event was at restaurant Argent in the opera house. I love the chill atmosphere and cool decorations.

Linda and Stina were the partyfixers. Linda doesn't look stressed at all:)

We were all running around, but we made sure to have some fun too.

This is Antonio and Patricia from Moroccan Oil doing the model with their fantastic products.

The tapas was lined up for us. Mmmmm

I had put my new Chie Miharas on. Love?  Look at the long thread on my knee. I try to make myself up and look neat but there is always some sewing threads that manages to escape.

Antonio and the beautiful models in my gowns. Moroccan Oil was in town to show their line and how to use them.

And yes, we had some champagne for lunch

This is my products from Moroccan Oil. I love them and can't wait to wash my hair tomorrow. These products are perfect for my curls. I use the oil every day and its great to define my curly hair without being oily and heavy. It's impossible to describe, you just have to try it!

So this was my day at work. What about you?

Aurora collection

The new Aurora collection just arrived. This collection is made on request from customers. We have a lot of customers who come to our shop asking for something typical Norwegian. Sometimes it's a tourist and sometimes a person going abroad and want to bring a gift from Norway. We are so lucky getting orders from Epcot- Disneworld, Florida on this.

The Aurora collection is inspired by Norwegian fauna and traditional patterns.

Please enjoy!
