look smashing to work in a Vanessa Bruno dress !

I was wondering what i would wear today if i could choose anything and this dress ( here on karoline) would be my perfect choice , its easy and simple as work dress but i would also think its cool enough to go partying tonight if i add a pair of killer heels ...

the leather pieces on the shoulder line make it so sleek ..

We are often driven to make the easiest choice when we go to work but some pieces of clothing can still look smashing .

on my arms ...

I have mono obsessions ...always had them , can't control it , sometimes its shoes , sometimes bags , very seldom clothes but this time it was silver bracelets...

i´ll explain : when a mono obsession kicks in i only want to buy that one thing i am obsessed about ...

It can be expensive , silly : like the time i bought a full suitcase of the best bath product and realize i did not even own a bathtub .... 

Some times my friend gets lucky , like the time i bought 3 pairs of shoes in 40 minutes and jump in an airplane an hour after only to realize i AM a size 38 not 36 or 37 ...my friends inherited all those shoes .

well those bracelet under were mostly bought in Copenhagen ..

from left to right ...berbere silver bracelet , figaros brylup , Chan Luu , Pinco , antique maroccan 

Do you have mono obsessions like me ?

well if you have i think we are perfectly fine :)

NEW in from ISABEL MARANT !

I had to post those pictures of what just came in from Isabel Marant since it has been such a bus and i know that those pieces are sold out over all in norway and hard to get on the net .

we receive the leather jacket in two colors and the Momo jacket in blue ( the red/bordeaux was sold out at once when we received it a month ago )

I am posting from copenhagen so at the time of this post i don't know what is sold out so if you want to get one of those pieces please call karoline tomorrow on 73516910 and she will happily help you ...

i was talking about location, light on my last post and this post the light and location is terrible but we had barely time to take the pictures when the packet came in so we will be better next time ....

LOVE . SHINE 

location location .....

When i go for a new photoshoot i either start with a great location or a great idea . 

if you suspect me to be very hight on my photo skills be safe : i actually do not know how to take pictures at all ! 

i just had . once. the good idea of investing in a good camera ( canon spell reflex or spel reflex or whatever its called) and because i am no technical geniuses i decided once and for all to keep it on the non program button , you know the green square that never start the flash or do any adjustments whatsoever ... 

Then of course it becomes  all about light or location since i cannot adjust anything ..

But i have a brother in Paris who i love more than anything who IS a technical genius and each time i go visit him he loves to take my camera , pushes all the button , unmount it , remount it , twist it several time and five minutes after handle it back to me and TA DAAA : its not working anymore like i want .

So some long days after ( while i swear i love my bro more than anything ) after i have managed to put it back exactly like it was before : no program , nothing button , then i can go and take my photos in great locations ...

so this was one of those great location 

and since its monday and all i wanted to share it with you ...

But the light did not work like i wanted so we will see if we found some outfit post to do from this location :)

Aiayu perfect basic wool top in blue ..

I love when designers keep making the same good basic tops seasons after seasons , it feel comforting to know you will never be lost and not know what to wear ; danish Aiayu is one of them who makes this wonderful tight fitted model, in different colors both winter and summer .

We always recommend this top to be worn directly on the body as it is both warm but light and this winter we have it in several colors from black to frost grey and as seen on this picture in a forest green .

Aiayu Rachel top in forest green, 1650,- (shineshop here), with Superfine skinny legging jeans in cream white, 2100,- (shineshop here) and Zara shoes.

Today the shop smelled wonderful, as the new organic candle light from NEOM started to come in ,

 i will tell you more about this new brand we are having and their fabulous scent tomorrow ...

LOVE . SHINE 

Knitwear chic by Aiayu , bordeaux love

This is some more of our new autumn 2012 pieces by Aiayu that came in just a few days ago , i certainly have something special for both that brand ( who recently won Best Ethical Award Price in Danmark ) and the color bordeaux .

Aiayu Ines Jumper Bordeaux (shop her), Aiayu Ninka black skirt (shop her) 

Both wool ( cashmala here , made from the finest and longest cashmere/lama fibers ) and the color bordeaux make me feel that the best autumn season is coming ..

Aiayu Rachel jumper (shop her), her med Superfine skinny legging jeans (shop her)

i can picture those outfit with a dash of lipstick or even better the red/vine nail polish from deborah lippman : single ladies ..

I will never repeat enough that if you want some wool pieces that go unchanged trough seasons then invest in an Aiayu one , they have the best quality i came upon in my 12 years as a buyer .

This coming week will be packed with novelty so keep posted , first we are getting 4 parcels with Isabel Marant witch are flying off the box as soon as they come in , then the new Chan Lu jewel collection will be in , more from Vanessa Bruno , all the new des petits hauts , and last but not least some fabulous and the best organic candle light ever ! 

so..... LOVE . SHINE 

have a fresh new day !

We were out on a great photoshoot yesterday and the pictures will come now and then in a bit more organized way but for today i wanted to share those ones with you ...

Karoline´s hair and fair skin were glowing against the blue backdrop .

 we are amazed at the cool design Aiayu came with for this wool jersey skirt , it is so comfortable that karoline did not wanted to take it off .

CHIC for OLAVSFESTDAGENE

Olavstfestdagene i Trondheim er rett rundt hjørnet, og vi gleder oss til sene sommerkvelder i Borggården. 

Noe av det vi SKAL få med oss i år er rockelegenden Patti Smith med Anne Grethe Preus, Emmylou Harris og Ane Brun. 

I den anledning har vi funnet frem et antrekk som er laidback, litt rocka, og festival chic:

Kjolen fra Superfine er superkomfortabel, og kan brukes med bukse eller tights for de trønderske sommerkveldene som kan bli litt kjørlige.

Med 'Billy' bag fra Jerome Dreyfuss får du med deg alt du trenger, om det skulle være pledd, siftetøy eller bare ting og tang. 

Pynt opp antrekket med bohemske armbånd fra Isabel Marant og The Vintage Fable, og fjærsmykke fra Pascal Monvoisin.

Vi sees på Olavsfestdagene!

LOVE. SHINE.

STREETSTYLE in PARIS!

Paris har alltid vært en av verdens motehovedstater

Aah Paris! Byen av kjærlighet, macaroons, café au lait og ikke minst stil!

Mens vi shoppet og ble vist rundt i byen av Charlotte, byens beste tour-guide, så vi mange über-chice, stilige Parisere.

Her er noen av våre favoritter...

Denne damen rocker tatovering og en helsvart dagsoutfit. Vi elsker lær-toten!

Stilige jenter i Parken..

Head to toe svart er fail proof for en chic, elegant look. De bare leggene gjør det mer sommerlig, og looken blir komplett med en chic hatt og solbriller

Plissèrte midi-length skjørt er også en super trend for sommeren, her i mint blå pastell farge!

Sjekk dette quirky paret vi traff på en kafé!

Hva synes du om outfitsene?
