Norwegian National Day

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

As some of you know, yesterday was the Norwegian national day. We spent the day at Maren and Kenneth’s place with a lot of great people, eating cakes and burgers and my banana cupcakes. I didn’t get to take a whole lot of pictures of the whole May 17th ordeal – meaning the parades, children, and people in national costumes – partly because the weather was grey and a bit cold, but mostly because I just wanted to get to the cakes as quickly as possible.

Here’s an outfit photo, please excuse the claw-like hand!

Marius was nice enough to let me take a picture of the two of us together – this is where Sir David Attenborough would do a voice over and say something like “And here we see the elusive Boyfriend, a creature rarely photographed in the wild. Cameras tend to make it bury itself in the nearest hole, or deep below the sofa cushions while clutching his PS3 controller. Such a rare sight.”

Sir David Attenborough really should do voice overs for my life more often.

I hope the rest of you Norwegian people had a wonderful National day!

Breton stripes

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

I don’t think I’ve done any outfit posts at all in May, have I? I blame the lame of remote. But hey, the remote is back, so no more excuses!

I’ve never been one to resist a good hair flip ;)

Today has been another wonderful spring day. Marius and I went shopping, and he reminded me of everything I would have otherwise forgotten – stores worth checking out, food I needed to buy, he even reminded me to buy wine for the 17th! Celebrating the Norwegian national day without a nice bottle of wine? It would have been a disaster!

I also found the striped top and white cardigan in the pictures above, and I made Marius buy a tie that would match the dress I plan on wearing on the 17th. I think I’ve found the thing I love the most about living in the middle of town – being able to stop buy the apartment and leave shopping bags behind before heading back out again!

We’re home for good now though, I think I’ll make some burritos in a little while, and maybe go out and take some pictures? Who knows. I love not having plans :)

Sunday picture post

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Spring finally came to Bergen yesterday, and Marius and I took the opportunity to take our cameras for a walk in the sun. It was nice to be able to take some decent photos outside again :)

I also dug up some shots from when I took photos for my new header image – I really like these! What do you think?

More photos can, as always, be found on my flickr!

But today is Monday, and I somehow thought it was a good idea to tell Marius “sure, I’ll clean a bit before work! Scrub some floors, wash the bathroom, no problem!” Ugh, big mistake :)

Shades of grey

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Yesterday was the laziest day in a long long time. We woke up around 12am, ate breakfast around 2pm, and pretty much spent the rest of the day eating and lounging around the apartment.  Despite the all time low in activity levels, I managed to fall asleep again at 10pm while watching Planet Earth on Bluray. Mind you, this does in no way mean that Planet Earth on Bluray is a bad thing, as It’s  the most beautiful series I’ve watched for a long time. The fact that it’s narrated by Sir David Attenborough doesn’t exactly hurt either, the man must have one of the most soothing voices of all time.

But today is Monday, Bergen is no longer covered in snow, and the temperature is finally showing double digits. It’s raining, but I really don’t mind, and decided it was time to take the mini skirt out for a spin.

It’s still paired with a wool sweater though. I mean, (Ricardo, that one’s for you!) let’s not get over-excited, this is still Bergen after all. Now, where did I put my umbrella..

Tuesday’s outfit

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Please don’t take too much notice of the face, I’ve been at work until 8pm and the makeup is all wonked up! Oh and I still haven’t found my remote control, so I have to run back and forth between photos.. Very impractical, if you ask me  :)
