Having some real trouble adapting to all of the darkness of the season. Winter sucks. I'm tired all the time and really don't have any energy to do anything. Answering e-mails seems like the toughest thing to do right now, so I just have to apologize for not getting back to you. It's 3.30 PM and already getting dark outside. I need to go to the post-office, pharmacy and grocery store. I have invites lining up to amazing events, but I don't have the energy to go to any of them. I just want to cuddle up on the couch in knits and eat ice-cream all day long. So I'm going to do that.

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message..
Warm winter jackets and coats, my current obsession! This vintage one right here is from Shoppalu, which I introduced as a sponsor last month. It is in perfect condition, almost too good to be true and I'm so happy to have it on my closet. If there's one thing I need to be for the next couple of months - it's warm. Winter in Norway is not friendly, but thanks to Shoppalu, it will be a little more comfortable this year.
It was already getting dark when I went outside to take these pictures today, so I had to set the ISO really high - which gives you these grainy photos. Hope you like them anyways!

Tumbling towards ecstasy
Lately, people have been telling me they are intimidated by me, mostly because I look so serious in my pictures. I've said it over and over again, I'm trying to smile, but in the end I just pick the photos where my facial expression looks somewhat OK. That usually doesn't include the smiling ones. Today, however, I couldn't help it, I just love how these shorts turned out! Made by the same recipe as all the previous ones, but they turned out so over-sized because of my new giant circular needles - I couldn't wear them; so I decided to throw them in the washing-machine. And out came this! I'm calling them "tumbled knit shorts".

One kind word can warm three winter months
Every year, I love capturing the firsts. The first sign of spring, the moment I feel summer finally arrived, the first fallen leaf of autumn and now, the first frost. There's something about it that just makes my heart skip a beat. The true beauty of it all, the essence of nature and seasons changing.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy..
I almost feel like a northern amazon in this. I decided to just go for it; putting different colors, patterns and fabrics in layers and layers. Winter is approaching fast. Today, it's 0°C. A touch of white crystals embraced the the still green grass when I woke up this morning. It's gone now, but I know it will be back tomorrow.

Simply flowing between them.

I feel this is pretty androgynous. And quite flowing. I like it!

You know, my dear, it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone.
Another coatfit, thrifted - just like the other one. Love the colors, the shape and the fit. I think it's quite similar to the Chloe patchwork cape - which I of course was lushing over the moment I saw it. However, the cape from Chloe cost $3.400, and this one cost $88. Love.

Dreaming of an indian summer sweet with lilac air
It's Saturday, but I seriously couldn't resist the urge to post this outfit! I just finished these knit shorts, and I'm so proud! I think they are absolutely amazing, and super comfortable - as I used more expensive and thicker yarn this time. Was going for a chunky look and added an elastic waistband to make them easier to wear. Oh, and I made the scarf as well. What do you think?
