Lunchdate

Had a very good time with the lovely Danielle today, Irene came too which was really nice!

Next time we have to set aside several hours when we meet, time really just flies!! :)

Irene and Danielle             

Finally, it is starting to get a bit milder here. And for a change, it was actually quite warm in the sun today.

I just love Irene's Alexander Wang handbag. The bottom of the bag is full of studs. Really cool, but also extremely heavy, almost like a full workout wearing it! But it's worth it!! :)

Tried to take some photos on our way to pick up our children, but it wasn't easy, my god it's SO windy today!!! In almost every photo we looked like scarecrows, hair everywhere!! Haha, hopeless!

Tomorrow we are going to the Grand opening of a new nightclub in Chelsea...oooh, it will be fun!!

Good morning

Today will be a busy day. My husband is in Cardiff working, I have to do the shopping (hate grocery shopping -it's so boring!!), then I have lunch plans with my friend Danielle, before picking up my boys from school, make dinner, help them do their homework, and then take them to taekwondo. But then again, I don't work, so I can't really complain! To be honest, I love spending time with my boys in the afternoons! <3

Started the day with a lovely workout after dropping the kids off at school. Where I live, there's a residents only gym, not overly big, but more than good enough for me! Although people might not believe it, I am quite a shy person, and I really like working out by myself, without lots of people around me..nice and quiet and with full focus!
You just get so much energy working out in the morning! :)

Right, now I have to go, will take some outfit and lunch photos and post it later!

Till then!

Studs -so easy and chic

After a hectic start on a Monday morning, (Irene's car didn't start),
we finally got to start studding :)

If you go to all the high street shops it's studded clothes everywhere, but if you're like us and most people in January/February with limited funds to spend on clothes, this is a great and cheap way to upgrade the wardrobe

We used an old shirt from H&M, and just studded the collar with some gold studs.

And just like that its a brand new shirt for only the cost of the studs,

and its so much fun too!
We are totally addicted to studding at the moment, soon our kids will have studded socks!!ha ha:)
Once you've started we promise you want to stud all your wardrobe:)

These old Bershka slim fit jeans got a new an trendy look, ripped open pocket studded inside

makes a cool statement! So easy and like that, you have two new favourite outfits to wear!

Studs!

Good morning!

Today Irene is coming to my house, and we are going to do some "studsing". It basically means freshening up old/boring garments with some studs. We have bought several different studs from ebay. We will post the results later today! :)

Bergen

Had an amazing time in Bergen visiting my family.
It's such a beautiful city, even though it rains like 300 days a year (it's a fact!)
So when people in London complain about rain, they haven't been to Bergen:)

Had a delicious chilli scampi faijitas(the extra spicy one)out in a restaurant on Bergen brygge with my family last night.
Love Mexican food!
All the fish dishes are so fresh cause its next to the sea.
Something I miss about living in London is the sea, so I'm glad I can visit when ever I want:)
Tomorrow its back home to London, and for Aleksander it's back to school after a mini break!
Been a great weekend but always good to come home

Me and my lovely sister-in-law

Low carb homemade bread

Good morning!

It is a stunning morning here i London. I woke up in "shock" ;), having two neighbour girls banging on the door, wanting to play with my youngest son :) ..they are so sweet! :) We got dressed in a hurry so that he could play with them for a short while before his weekly football session started :)

I am on a low carb diet. Eating low carb foods really works for me, as I get severe stomach ache if I eat too many carbs. Today I baked my normal low carb bread, and I want to share the recipe with you. It is really good! I am not sure where I got the recipe from, as I have made it for a very long time now. Obviously low carb bread can't taste the same as full carb bread, but for me this is a good substitute.

Bread (norwegian)

-100 grams ground almonds (mandelmel/malte mandler)
-70 grams ground flaxseed (malte linfrø)
-30 grams sunflowerseeds (solsikkekjerner)
-3-4 eggs
-1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Truvia (Sukrin)
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-Water, to correct consistency












Measure up and add all the ingredients into a bowl, stir well. The dough is supposed to have a sticky, creamy consistency.
Pour the mixture into a greased bread tin (I use a silicone one, don't have to grease that one), and put in the oven 200C/390F for approx. 45 minutes.

Let it cool, and enjoy! :)

Stored in a breadbag etc. in the fridge, it will last for days! :)

Have a fantastic saturday! SolgunnX

Off to Norway for the weekend

I know it's weird, and maybe it's because I do travel a lot, but I kinda like being on a buzzing airport.
Love walking around in the tax free and smell all the new fragrances (something I never have the time to do)
My new favourite fragrance is this one from Roberto Cavalli.
Look forward to visit Bergen and see my family this weekend,haven't been home since Christmas.
Hopefully it's not too freezing, as usual I'm not dressed warm enough!
And I will never learn, hopeless case!

No sign of spring - yet!

Still cold here in London, and it does not look like spring will be here any time soon.
But nothing us Norwegians shouldn't be used to, so no excuses to stay in!

There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes! (a Norwegian saying, but it sounds much better in Norwegian) :)

A vintage fur coat will always stay in fashion, you can use it year after year, and it will definitely keep you warm! To stay on trend, add a touch of colour, in this case a orange handbag from River Island

Say cheeeeese, Irene :)

I love Cobalt blue!

Cobalt blue is really hot this coming spring/summer, and I have found the shoes I definitely want to buy!! Sometimes it is difficult to wear bold colours, so it is a good idea to buy shoes and accessories in the colour you like, and keep the rest of your clothes simple. These pumps are designed by Jessica Simpson, and I just love them!! You can find them here; heels.com

They might not be overly comfortable, I don't think I will be doing the schoolrun in them, but they will be great for a night out! ;)

Anyone else like them?

Here we go!

Hi!! Today has gone by preparing the blog, drinking waaaay too much coffee, and having a short photoshoot. We are SO excited to finally start!!!

Still freezing and wintery here in London, we can't wait for the spring to come!!

Flower and printed trousers will be big this S/S 2013. The leapoard animal print will still be going strong, mixing it together makes an interesting statement, even on a cold winter day. These amazing trousers were on sale at Berskha for only £14! A real bargain!
