I only do practical if it is cute. Impractically.

Hi sweethearts!

It is freezing here in the beautiful land of Norway,

but you know me, I still need my studs and prints :)

I can`t honestly say that I am a practical dresser.

I do realize that this might seem surprising to some of you LOL

This is one of my ok-fine-it-is-bloody-cold-and-clearly-I-am-not-that-well-insulated-but-I-don`t-want-to-wear-something-boring-and-not-feel-like-me-when-braving-the-freakin-horizontal-storms-compromises.

I used to think I couldn`t wear tweed with pattern (I`ve had all sorts of funny ideas) but when I found this one (that FIT!!! hahhah) I thought screw that, let me use another one of my funny ideas and add studs from a bag to it. Logical, no?

                    Jacket, gloves, miniskirt come scarf and rosy bag, H&M. I love mixing textures!

Tell me, how do you translate your style into a practical look for winter?

Thank you all so much for your comments, I am answering you at your own lovely blogs :)

Winter Wonderland

Braving the freezing weather in style is easier said than done.. here`s my take on winterchic this year. How do you bundle up and work it?


Sequined beret from Accessorize, meters of scarf from H&M and frostbitten cheeks

I didn`t have money for a new wintercoat this year, so I changed up the look of my old one from H&M with sequins from a pillow, as well as chopping some of the length and rolling up the sleeves (not advisable in the cold... but perhaps slightly more fashionable ;) )

Sequined detail

Up front are the shoes from Skopunkten that I WANT to be wearing

In the back my boots from Økonomisko that save me from frostbite

I strapped a belt from KapAhl on my boots to toughen their look

Daydreaming of summer

With temperatures falling below minus 20C I am longing for summer, or at least weather warm enough to get me out of my wintercoat... Someone crank it up, please!

Here are some pics from spring/summers past:
