up on the walls

I have been obsessing over picture/painting walls for a while now.
And we have finally start putting some nails up over our living room sofa.
It´s not finished yet so, still have some pictures and painting going up, but for me it´s a big process sense I have collected inspiration for such a long time now.

a bit of Paris, a bit of New York, The Beatles are up there, so are still an empty frame and a tiny shelf for candles and such, and there is also some important family portrait missing

I have a small collection in the hallway as well. The top painting is bought on an art fair i Paris, the lower from the left I found in my grandparents basement (they still don´t know I borrowed it, sorry) and the little dark blue one is actually a twig with leafs made out of fish scales and bought in the Azores.

drip drop

It´s been raining constantly all day long, it´s tropic weather in Oslo today. Even though I rather stay inside I need to get out and do some grocery shopping. 
So I might as well do the best out of it...

... which means wearing a floppy hat...

... polka dot dress and some matching red and white boots...

... and top it all of with a horse printed cardigan

love, love, love shoes

O Thrift Shops, Where Art Thou?

miss my London thrift shops, I haven't found any decent once in my new city... yet!

LOVE

flowers in my hair

Always when I am not suppose to shop anything I find lots and lots of pretty things... this flower crown was hanging right in front of  me as I walked in to a store, just begging me to try in on.
Did you know we live in a city, the most expensive city in the world if I remember correctly, it is sometimes so ridiculously expensive here that these small items can make a huge difference in your wallet (read make a big hole in your wallet).
Anyway me trying this on only ended in a purchase.

three little things about me...

• In the past I have studied art and I love to read about the history of art

• I think butterflies are kind of scary 

• I am a neat freak, I actually enjoy cleaning and I get kind of grumpy if anyone helps me and they do it the "wrong" way (wrong way= not my way)

Update coming soon!
I have been a bit uninspired lately (due to the cold scandinavian spring that never wants to turn in to summer).
But yesterday it took a turn for the better and it seems that we finally can see the sun in the end of this dark frosty tunnel.

First I am going to take a short walk in those new high heels I bought last week, terrible blisters here I come...

LOVE
