Louis Vuitton// Elin, Mira and Hanneli






Take a look at this fashionable video from Louis Vuitton. Elin Kling, Mira Duma and Hanneli Mustaparta look so stylish in this ad for LV's new collection. Look at those bright colors, the new LV Mini is so pretty and much more convenient than the big totes.
Take a look at the amazing video below, and get some inspiration!

Inspiring Women - Cara Delevigne










One of my favorite models at the moment is Cara Delevigne. Look at those fierce photos, and that smize of hers, oh my!
She is just 20 years old, but she has walked down miles of catwalks for the most exclusive designers and she has been on the cover and editorials in one of the most famous magazines. 
I hope you enjoy my Monday inspo!

The Beauty Department



If you haven't heart of it yet, it's probably about time you do. 
The Beauty Department is a blog filled with tips and tricks about beauty, hair and makeup. The founders of the blog are Lauren Conrad from The Hills and her makeup artist Amy Nadine and hairdresser Kristin Ess. I remember I always used to watch The Hills, and even Laguna Beach. I loved everything about LC (Lauren Conrad) her hair, makeup styling and outfits. She has such a nice personality too, even though some of it was purely set up to entertain. Take a look at these "tutorials" down below, and visit their blog to get even more tips!



Hair




Eyebrows

I think eyebrows are some of the most important features of the face. When you have good eyebrows it's so easy to put on makeup, end even look fresh without makeup. Just by brushing them, put on some eyebrow powder and an eyebrow gel, you're good to go.





Eye Cream Tips

So that's why my eye cream doesn't work!? I have used Clinique's Eye Cream for over a year, and I haven't noticed any change. Maybe it's because I put it all over and under my eyelids. 
I always put it on at night, in desperation to look fresh in the morning.
What is your favorite Eye Cream?




Now I'm off to bed, after almost 12 hours with on and off exam preparations. 

Good night, sleep tight!

Nail it!



I love to paint my nails in all different kind of colors. Sometimes I just wear nail polish and no accessories. My all time favorite nail polish brands are Essie and Deborah Lippman. Essie has the best, and I mean THE best brush. Essie also have a wide range of colors and the polish sets very nice. What I love about the nail polish from Deborah Lippman is that they come in so many different colors, and glitter! The glitter ones are amazing, but very hard to get off when your sick of glittery nails. I use to buy my polish at Beauty Bay, the price is OK and the shipment takes no time at all. I believe you can find all these different colors at Beauty Bay, but some may be out of stock. 

Which color do you like the most? 




ESSIE








DEBORAH LIPPMAN








I hope you enjoy my little collage of nail polishes, and I wish you guys the best monday. Today is going to consist of reading to my exam in marketing and statistics and getting better from my very hated flu!

Winter Decorations


December is coming up soon, and I decided to decorate my living-room tables a bit. I have placed two white hyacinths in a tea light holder each. Hyacinths are so pretty when they blossom and they smell really nice. The white tray is actually from IKEA. In between I've used decorative cones, christmas balls, snow crystals and hearts from the fantastic interior boutique Riviera Maison.





What do you think?



I bought this tray at a Interior store in Norway called "Living", I've decorated with more cones, snow crystals and hearts in addition to the knitting and woody candles.
I never really liked decorating like this, but now that I have moved out from my parents house, I get the chance to me creative in my own way. 
I'm so looking forward to December, Christmas vacation and New Years Eve. 
Hope you have a great Sunday guys, and that you enjoy my blogposts. Please write me a comment if you like my blog, or if can make any improvements!

Today I Wanna Look Like This

Olivia Palermo



The stunning and always well-dressed Olivia Palermo. I love the golden, shimmery jacket, I so wanna find out where it's from. Can somebody help me?
 I fell in love with Olivias bitchy attitude in the MTV Reality series The City some years ago. I still watch that show when I want some Whitney and Olivia drama. 
I found this pretty streetstyle pic at a tumblr account. You can find more inspiration here

Winter Fashion

Winter, and especially December, is one of my favourite times a year. Snow, Christmas, candles, comfortable knits, cosy nights by the fireplace and hot chocolate are some of the things I love about this season. Of course it's freaking cold, but then you'll have to be creative and dress by the weather. Wool coats, knitted sweaters, boots, furry hats, lambswool scarves and wool stockings, make the winter fashion so pretty. Just think about the girls in Gossip Girl, oh my they can dress! 
Take a look of these pics I found on Pinterest and WeHeartIt.












Leighton Meester in Flaunt Magazine


Leighton Meester sexes it up for Flaunt Magazine. Who would have thought preppy miss Blair Waldorf, could look so sexy?! I have a feeling this shoot is a bit of inspired by the Fifty Shades Triology. It's so dark, almost gothic, but yet so beautiful.

Wise Words


Favorites from MyWardrobe.com


One of my favorite online shopping stores are My Wardrobe 
It's a UK based high fashion store. They have a broad line of brands, from Philip Lim 3.1 to Diane von Furstenberg. What I love about this store is that the VAT is included, and all you have to pay for are the clothes and the shipping. They ship by DHL, an the courier deliver your package on your door, how convenient is that? 

Now they have an exclusive sale, and they give all of their customers 25% off all clothes. 
Make the most out of this rainy Black Friday, and shop 'til you drop!
