north

Remember NORD? Their website is finally up, and it's beautiful.

The background photo shown in the screenshot above reminds me a lot of the experience I just had on my trip north. A journalist and photographer from the magazine was also on this trip, and I know there will be some beautiful articles from this duo soon.

Btw, did you know that "nord" means north?

I like

I like this mug. It's from the Blue Fluted Mega series made by Danish Royal Copenhagen.

fashion blogs

We all love The Sartorialist, don't we? At least I do!

Here are some Norwegian fashion blogs that I enjoy. From top to bottom in the image above: Ingvild Telle - Siggelicious - Style Bytes

I'm sure there are heaps of other great fashion blogs that I have yet to explore. Any tips?

Northern Lighting

A couple of great looking lamps from Norwegian lamp manufacturer Northern Lighting. Snowball to the left and Oslo to the right.

new year

Hei guys. Happy new year. Hope you had a fabulous celebration. I sure did. Didn't get much done work wise this week. So hard to get into the work mode again after the holidays. Know what I mean? Hopefully there will be more activity in this space from Monday. I already kickstarted the activity over at my photoblog. Have a look if you are interested.

Hope you are having a great weekend. I do. It involves organizing and cleaning around the apartment, lounging, the West Wing on dvd, wine, food and Sølve :-)

Christmas

Just checking in to say hei. I've had a great week of Christmas celebrations home in Sandnes with my family and my in-law family. Now we are back in Bergen, getting ready for a fabulous New Years party on Monday.

There will be more activity here in the new year. Thanks for stopping by this space. I really appreciate it.

Hope you are all doing well.

Pure Style

Beautiful book. Some more photos over here.

Brontibay

Next to our hotel in Paris there was a lovely little shop selling beautiful bags, Brontibay. I think the two above here are my favorites, but there were really a lot of other beautiful stuff as well. I didn't buy anything, so I'm glad they have an online shop.

That is all I got today. Now I have to write an article about slow food, buy Christmas presents, and then on Thursday I start my Christmas holiday by driving home to Sandnes.

Paris je t'aime

Hei guys! I am back from my Paris weekend. I think I am in love. Such a beautiful city. I know I have to go back to explore the city more. We took about 500 photos, so guess what kind of photos will be dominating my Flickr stream the next days...

Did you see the movie Paris je t'aime? I saw it when it came out in 2006, and I liked it. I think I want to see it again now that I have actually been in Paris.

Some new things (yay!) in the photo above:
- New toy: camera
- Leather travel bag bought in Paris
- Cool print t-shirt from Poketo
- Skinny jeans from H&M

I hope you all had a great weekend and that you are doing good in this holiday time. Can you believe it is only one week till Christmas?! Note to self: Buy presents!

magic light

Today I got up at 0630 am, which is quite early for me. I normally get up around 0830 am. It is so dark at 0630 am! It doesn't get bright until around 9 am. And then at 4 pm it is dark again. Only seven hours of daylight. I am glad I don't live further north where the days are even shorter.

It is only natural that I am attracted to the magic light these days. Here are some current Flickr favorites:

1. Untitled, 2. Untitled, 3. Untitled, 4. Untitled, 5. the light, 6. woman in last light

I have added a new little thing to the right on the blog here; listening to...

I think I'll change the music choice from time to time. A friend introduced me to The Detroit Cobras at a party a little while ago. I bought the CD today. It is so great I just had to share it with you.

Sølve and I are off to Paris for the weekend. Au revoir!

Mike & Chris

Beautiful stuff from Mike & Chris (via Oh Joy!).

Baggu

Baggu is good (via Urban Preschool).

Hagedornhagen

I love the posters from Hagedornhagen.

yay

A very short trailer, but it makes me excited!

Anthropologie

I did a magazine swap with Jen of simply photo a little while ago. Some of the goodies she sent was a couple of Anthropologie catalogs. I instantly fell in love with some of the spreads. See the rest of the photos here. We don't have Anthropologie in Norway, so I will definitely make a visit when I come to the US on day.
