My new advertiser is The Outnet. What is not great about designer pieces, with a discount? I am very particular when it comes to advertisement, but I think The Outnet is very appropriate for my blog. Every now and then I will post my favorites and you will always find great deals through the banners. These are my favorites at the moment. (Click on the pictures to see info)

During Christmas i took a dive in my mother´s closet. Found so many treasures from the 70-90´s, but most of them in size XS, so that was a bummer. But I did find this amazing long blazer. I prefer long blazers on girls with hips, like me. It had shoulder pads, gentle textile and I loved the color. Does anyone know what this color is called? It´s not beige irl. Love to wear it along with my LBD.

• I wore it on N.E. Eve, and a girl screamed out ´´Are you wearing a white blazer?!?!?!´´ in front of everybody.  Well, it´s not white, but if I did, what would be the problem? And who were they to speak, most girls at the party did still wear ripped tights. That´s so…forever ago.

• When I wore my sequined jacket spring-09 a girl asked if I was going to the carnival, by late-fall you could see 3 out of 4 girls  wearing the same sequined jacket all over town.

• But this one kills both of the previous; When I was wearing my jacket with high shoulders last summer, a girl asked me if I was dressed up like Batman. Are you freaking kidding me?! Hahaha. When I came back for Christmas I couldn´t see the sky over all those high shoulders.

Got to love Aalesund. I hate people that makes negative comments about what other people are wearing, it´s not they that are wearing it, so why even care.:-)

Do not take everything in this post too seriously.

It´s press week here in Oslo. All the PR agencies open the doors so that we can come and take a look at the latest collections. It usually is so much fun!

Well, I am doing you a favor. The Beautiful Life is about a group of models living in New York, Mischa Barton is playing one of the lead roles. This is just the greatest show ever, but it was temporarily cancelled due to low ratings. I can not understand why. But if more people watch it online, they may shoot more episodes. These five episodes are available:

If you ask a girl which bag is her dream-bag, most of the would answer ´´A Chanel´´. It was my dream-bag too, and it still is, but now I have now two in my collection.

Chanel Jumbo XL. First I bought the L, but was very disappointed when it arrived. It was too small! It looks big, but it does not have that much room. It was also in terrible condition, so I shipped it back and decided to go XL. I purchased mine at eBay and it is black lambskin and gold hardware. I would say it rates 9,8/10. Excellent condition, no flaws. This is my favorite bag in my collection, but unfortunately it spends a lot of time in my closet. I do not wear it where it is crowded, I only use it when the weather is good and it is kinda heavy when it is full, luckily I can wear it cross-over. But I also wanted a caviar bag with silver hardware, so I bought the..

Chanel Large 2.55. I had search eBay for month for a caviar 2.55 with silver hardware, at a reasonable price, but nothing to be found. So I decided to buy it at the Chanel-store in London, in medium. But when I saw the medium it was TINY, could probably fit only my wallet+phone, so I chose the large one instead. Even though it says large, do not be fooled, it is small. Fits only my wallet,phone,small digital camera and a lipstick. Caviar is a bit more expensive than lambskin, but it is tougher than lambskin, so I think it is more appropriate for everyday-use. Silver hardware is also a bit more expensive than gold hardware, but again, I think it is more appropriate for everyday-use and I think it looks better along with caviar.

How to afford the bag of my dreams?

If you really want it, you will have it. For the Jumbo I decided to go on eBay, since the old Jumbos looks so much better AND eBay is more affordable. There are so many great Chanel bags on there, in all sorts of conditions, colors and shapes. You could easily snagg off a Jumbo for $1000(5800nok) or less.

It is important to NOT buy the first and best you find, it is easy to regret your choice when you find another bag you´d wish you bought instead. So my tip is, whilst you are saving up money, figure out which bag you want. And also, spend those extra $ to get a bag in reasonable condition. You will not regret it. There are so many cheap ones available, but the condition is HORRIBLE. And ALWAYS get the bags authenticated at The Purse Forum, they will tell you wheter it is authentic or not, and how the condition rates. What´s great about Chanel bags is that they are so timeless! As long as you treat them good, you could probably sell them at a price close to what you paid for it yourself.

To finance the Jumbo,  I wished for money during Christmas and my birthday. I was also on a shopping-ban for four months. Think of this: How much money you use on impulse shopping pr.month? Buying things you will probably never use, or just because it was on sale. I bet it is quite a bit. And not to mention eating take-out/partying. I saved approx.$260(1500nok) pr.month! When I had saved up enough money, I spent a lot of time on eBay looking for the bag in the right condition and at the best price. I snagged this one at a REALLY good price.

When I decided to buy the 2.55 I already had a quite big designer bag/shoes collection. So I sold the other small Chanel I had at that time, and that was 50% of what I needed to buy the 2.55. So I sold one more bag. And a couple of shoes. And I wished for money during Christmas. And I got discounts at the Chanel-store.

So, I hope you enjoyed this post. If you got to choose ONE Chanel bag, which one would it be?

I have started a new category ”Products I can not live without”. Here I will post my fav products on a regular basis. First one to go is:

YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch. I had heard of this magic-wand for years, but I thought it was kinda silly to get that excited about a highlighter. That was until I bought my first in January to spend my last pounds at Heathrow. Now I can not live without it, I know, sounds kinda silly. But even those days I do not wear make-up, I have to use this one. It makes you look fresh and brighter in an instant! And you can do touch up during the day without anyone noticing.  I use it;

• Under the eyes, in the inner corners, close to the eyebrows. To get the fresh and ”I have slept for hours” awake eyes.
• The sides of the nose.
• Around the lips. To redefine them.
• Between the eyebrows. Makes your eyes look bigger and brighter.

And this is important to remember;

• This is a highlighter, not a concealer. It will not cover up dark circles. You will have to get a concealer with more coverage for that.
• After you have applied, tap with your finger to blend. This way it looks more natural than with a concealer-brush.
• For the best result, wear it over your foundation. But you can wear it under as well, but I prefer over.
• Get the right shade!! I would suggest to get help finding the right shade by an expert.

If you take a look HERE you will find videos showing you how to use it.

What do you think about this category? Do you have a concealer/highlighter you can not live without?

Inspiration of the day. It makes me long for the summer, I love it! The red hair against the cobolt-blue blazer. The blazer itself. Statement-necklace. And cat-eye-sunglasses. Perfect combination!

Tomorrow is my day off, so will be posting an outfit. WEHO.

What inspires you today?

En del av dere har spurt om jeg kan skrive et innlegg om dette, så har jeg har laget en ny kategori som heter Skole hvor jeg kommer til å poste slike veldig detaljerte innlegg.

Skal du søke på skole i Storbrittania er det lurest å søke via UCAS(Samordna Opptak), for om du søker direkte ved en skole og får nei, kan du ikke søke på noen andre skoler før til neste inntak. Via UCAS kan du søke på opptil 5 studier. Det er viktig at du har ordnet deg et engelsk vitnemål på forhånd. Om du ikke har det, kontakt skolen din slik at de kan lage et til deg.

HVORDAN KOMME I GANG?

Dette kan fort ta noen timer, så sørg for at du har nok tid! Først må du starte med å gå innpå www.ucas.com og trykke på APPLY. Deretter velger du Register/Log in to use Apply 2010, og videre Register. Følg så stegene videre for å få din egen logg-inn. Deretter kommer noen spørsmål du må svare på, før du får gå videre i søkeprosessen. Et av spørmålene lyder ¨How Are you applying?¨ Her velger du ¨As an individual¨. Så fremt du søker på egenhånd da så klart. Når disse spørsmålene er besvart får du din egen UCAS-ID, som det er viktig at du tar vare på, og du kan begynne på søknaden din.

FYLLE UT SØKNADSDELEN- PERSONAL DETAILS.

Denne delen er ganske enkel, her fyller du for det meste ut kontaktinformasjon.

• Reference Numbers- Dette fyller du kun ut om du har tatt feks. TOEFL eller IELTS.
• Fee Code-Har du tenkt til å finanisere studiene dine selv velger du Private Finance. Har du tenkt til å bruke Lånekassen velger du Other Source.
• Disability-På kategori må du trykke på See List. Da velger du evt.No Disability om du ikke har noen, eller så velger du den som passer.

Når du føler at du er helt ferdig med denne søknadsdelen haker du av Section Completed og trykker save. Om du vil fortsette senere, trykker du KUN save.

CHOICES.

Jeg vil anbefale deg å ta en titt HER først for å finne ut hvilke studier som er tilgjengelig for internasjonale studenter. Du kan velge inntil 5 studier å søke deg til, men det er ikke påkrevd.

• Institution code-Her trykker du på See List og velger den skolen du skal søke ved.
• Course Code-Her trykker du på See List og velger hvilket studie du vil søke på.
• Campus Code-Her trykker du på See List og velger det som kommer opp.
• Start Date- Her trykker du på See List og velger hvilken dato du vil søke til.
• Live at Home-Her klikker du på NO. Så fremt ikke familien din også skal flytte.

Når du føler at du er helt ferdig med denne søknadsdelen haker du av Section Completed og trykker save. Om du vil fortsette senere, trykker du KUN save.

EDUCATION.

Her et det viktig at du har vitnemålet ditt klart, for du må nemlig legge inn hvert avsluttede fag. Denne delen tar tid!

• School-Trykk på find. Om skolen din kommer opp velger du den, eller så velger du My School/Centre is not listed.
• Add Qualification-Trykk på N og velg Norway-Vitnemal-Videregaende Opplaering.
• Øverst skriver du inn datoene du ble ferdig, og din gjennomsnittskarakter.

Så skal du begynne å legge inn alle karakterene dine. Husk å bruke det engelske vitnemålet ditt her. Selvom du skal legge inn karakterene selv er det bare å stå imot fristelsen til å fuske. De spør som regel om å få vitnemålet tilsendt etter de har mottatt søknaden din.

VANLIGE KARAKTERER

• Subject- Her skriver du inn feks.Financial Adiministration.
• Date- Da må du se vitnemålet ditt om det står feks.S08(sommer 08) eller A07(høsten08)
• Result- Der skriver du inn karakteren din.
• Også trykker du add another module for å legge til et nytt fag.

EKSAMENER( må legges til som egen modul)

• Subject-Her skriver du inn feks. Natural Science og skriv Exam bak. Husk også å skrive om det var Written, Oral eller OP(tverrfaglig)
• Resten av punktene blir som ved vanlige karakterer.

Når du føler at du er helt ferdig med denne søknadsdelen haker du av Section Completed og trykker save. Om du vil fortsette senere, trykker du KUN save.

EMPLOYMENT.

Om du har hatt jobb skal dette legges inn i denne delen. Delen er ganske lett, og jeg tror ikke den trenger noen beskrivelser. Om du ikke har hatt noen jobb, merker du bare av Section Completed og går videre.

STATEMENT.

Her skal du skrive ditt personlige brev til skolen/skolene om hvorfor de skal velge deg. Det ligger en guide under denne delen som kan hjelpe deg, eller så kan man google det. Både jeg og UCAS anbefaler at du skriver dette i et tekstprogram først og limer det inn. Ellers har du bare 35 minutter på deg før denne delen blir avsluttet. Det er VELDIG viktig at du har skrevet dette selv, for de sjekker om det er kopiert, og da kan det få seriøse følger.

Når du føler at du er helt ferdig med denne søknadsdelen haker du av Section Completed og trykker save. Om du vil fortsette senere, trykker du KUN save.

REFERENCE.

Her må du sjekke studiet du søker om det er påkrevd at du har en referanse, men jeg vil anbefale det uansett. Om du søker direkte fra VGS kan du spørre en lærer om han/hun vil være referansen din eller om du jobber med noe som er relativt til studiet ditt kan du spørre sjefen. Skal du søke journalistikk og jobber i en avis ville jeg anbefalt deg å velge sjefen som referanse. Her anbefales det igjen at referanse-brevet er skrevet i et annet tekstprogram og limes inn, da denne delen også avsluttes etter 35 minutter. Om referanse ikke er påkrevd og du ikke har en, kan du klikke på No Reference Required.

Når du føler at du er helt ferdig med denne søknadsdelen haker du av Section Completed og trykker save. Om du vil fortsette senere, trykker du KUN save.

PAY/SEND.

For å kunne komme til denne delen må alle de andre delene være completed, da ser du at det er en rød hake bak. Det koster dessverre noen kroner å søke i Storbrittania, men dette gjelder både om du søker via UCAS eller direkte ved skolen. Dette kan betales ved å bruke kort.

Når dette er gjort vil du få beskjed om at betalingen er i orden, og du kan sende søknaden din. Etter dette vil du videre beskjed om at du får et brev i posten slik at du kan logge deg inn på Track for å følge med på søknaden din.

Lykke til!! Synes du dette innlegget var nyttig??

This is really how you pull off short-short hair! My best friend Elisabet went to the hairdresser to change her hair color and the next time I saw her she had this awesome haircut as well! I really admire Elisabet when it comes to her hair, she has probably had all the colors you can think of, and possibly all cuts too. This cut must be the top of awesomeness, but I know for a fact that I will never be brave enough to pull it off myself. Beautiful Elisabet posed for me so I can show you guys that long, straight hair isn´t the only opportunity when it comes to hair.

As usual, negative comments will not be tolerated in any way when the pictures are not of me.

I have found my new favourite perfume; Bright Crystal by Versace. It smells so nice!! I usually wear Intense by Hugo Boss, but it tends to be a bit heavy, so I only wear it during fall/winter. So Bright Crystal will be my spring/summer smell. Perfume is the must have accessory.

What perfume do you wear? Do you switch between seasons, as I do?
