To the Islands

Last week we went on a small trip with Miss E, Kim and my sis, out to one of the islands, in the Oslo fjord. It's just a 10 minutes out with the boat, but it feels like being on the country side. So beautiful and peaceful, quite a contrast to the city! It was wonderful to escape the busy city life for a few hours:)

Same morning we also decided to take some photos for Devious Darlins', while out there. Seemed like a good idea, the perfect beautiful back drop for some photos of the Darlins'. Both Miss E and my sister are photographers, and good ones too. Miss E took most of the photos, while sis jumped in at the end;) Guess who got to model lol? We had lots of fun shooting them around the different type of nature we found on the island! Can't wait to see them!! Will share as soon as Miss E get them ready.

A few photos from the trip:)

Burlesque Hairdo'

Lucky me got my hair styled for my Burlesque Birthday, by lovely Miss E! She's just finished the Adam & Eva hairdressers school and in need of hairmodels, a real win-win situation for both of us. She offered to do my hair burlesque style for the show the same evening, so said so done!

I spent all day on my birthday in the hairdresser chair. Chatting away with Miss E and the girls, reading magazines and drinking coffee. All while getting my hair cut, colored and beautifully styled at the end. As you can see by the photos, it was all held together with a hairnet and a thousand hairpins, at least. I think it turned out really lovely and was absolutely thrilled to have my hair done by someone! I love the old style to it and the hairnet:)

It was a really nice and relaxing way to spend my day, getting pampered and all. A real treat! Not every day I go get my hair styled by someone.. More like never! Haha Might be more often now, as Miss E needs to practice;)

I felt like a real diva on the tram, all the way back home! With my handmade, little black and white birdie fascinator, from my Birds Nest collection peeking out on the side. Looks rather comfortable up there, doesn't he? lol





Friday Night on The Whiskey Bar

We're having a relaxing Sunday in the nest,  nothing much going on today.. We're still recovering after our Friday night fun! After a long night out that started around 6 in the afternoon, we took Miss E and a friend home for late night/morning drinks and breakfast..

We invited friends and a few neighbours, for a night on The Whiskey Bar. A small, cozy bar in the old part of town, that we discovered after the Ghost tour last autumn. We've wanted to gather friends for a night out there ever since, we finally got around to do so!

Later on that night with Miss E

Happy Holidays to Everyone!!

Wish you all the best for the holidays and the New Year!! Hope you all are having a wonderful time with friends and family! We're on the third day of Christmas and closing in to the big night, New Years Eve. I'm lucky enough to have some days off from work. Some time for myself and my projects, fixing photos and finishing up an order on a fascinator. And last but not least; cleaning up the house, which looks like a small pig stie, after neglecting the growing piles of dishes and laundry for several days now.. I should be able to get it nice and shiny again, just in time for our New Years party!

We're having lovely Miss Lindy Lee and her man over, for New Years eve. Hopefully Miss E and her man, Kim will be joining us too! And maybe my sister. Not the biggest New Years party, but sometimes the smallest parties can also be the nicest and most memorable ones. The most important is the people that you are with I think, being with good friends is what counts on a night like this;)

What is your plans?

Our first Christmas tree (!!) and a peek at the Christmas decoration around my work space;)

17th of May - National Day of Norway

Our National Day was celebrated with good food, champagne, wine, beer and wonderful company, at Miss E's balcony!! It was an all dayer with gitar playing, chatting and fun! We rounded up the night at New Anarkali, an indian restaurant on Grünerløkka. Super yummi food and great service! Will definitely be back.

Ps: I don't know how to play the gitar, but I do know how to improvise;)



Friday Tune - Wish you Well

The Friday tune this time is from our "mini concert", on Miss E's balcony 17th of May.. Our good friend Kim singing and playing the gitar. Quite far from what we heard him singing last time, on the concert with Meanstreak. A wonderful, mellow song about lifes twists and turns, which goes straight to the heart!

I'm not sure what the name of the song is, I'm horrible with names.. But maybe you guys know?

Meanstreak Concert - Rock In

My days isn't solely about shop and brand making.. I rewarded my hard work with a night off and concert on Rock In, a metal club in down town Oslo. To see our friend Kim play with his band, Meanstreak! I pulled on my leather daisy dukes and T-shirt for a night with metal fun, beer and good friends;)

Concert was awsome!! Not what I usually go to see, or listen to at home. But music was great, bands were fab and met some new cool people:) Among them, the host from the burlesque show I went to on my birthday! Also had a great time with wonderful Miss E and friends!!
