Double Oh Birthday

So, the main reason we went to Norway was this party. Casa's sister and her supermodel friend, Kine Irgens are both turning 18 this September. And what better way to celebrate than to throw a James Bond themed party - SKINS STYLE!

Shut the f*ck up or I'll shoot yaaaaa!

Two bloggers at work, of course.

One for every occasion.

Bring in the strippers and the businessmen!

Happy birthday to you!

Don't know what to buy? Go for Tiffany's! Usually works.

G on G. Fo shizzle.

Make up tip: red lipstick and... gun.

Bring a pussy.

Evil is always cool. And a martini glass of course.

You decide!

Trucks!

What happens when you play with guns...

Shoes look good, even when they're not on.

Whopeee!

They're real. I swear.

Getting back to your roots.

Bounce.

Hug!

Pose!

Make a mess.

Hide your face the day after to avoid any requests to help clean up.

Oslo Street Style

Norwegians are unique - !

Moods of Norway blazer.

Pastels are always in!

Flannel and white pants. Not tacky. Anything else and white pants - tacky!

Carpenter in uniform with pink shirt. Why not look fabulous at work?

Time For Chocolate!

I have chocolate in the morning. I have chocolate in the afternoon. I have chocolate in the evening. I have chocolate in the dressing room.

We all know Amanda Lepore's mantra by heart (she prefers Champagne though).

Sjokoladebiten is a chocolatier close to the wonderful Bogstadveien, Oslo's shopping street # 1.

The owner formerly worked in the shipping business in Belgium, but two years ago she decided to follow her passion for chocolate (as you can imagine after time spent in Belgium. Yum!). Fun facts about Mrs. Mathiesen (a.k.a owner and head chocolatier):

- She eats chocolate before dinner.

- Her favorite chocolates are: truffles with fruits de bois.

- Her childhood dream was to open a Conditorie.

Prices are affordable, the goods are delicious and the owner is just adorable.

Buon apetito!

Time For Chocolate!

Dark chocolate is a healthier alternative!

Champagne and chocolate - what more do you need?

Dragees.

Fruits the bois - we were recommended to try these and they are delicious!

Half a kilo for about 35 Euros... splurge!

Eva L. Mathiesen - adorable woman of the day!

These ones are a favourite in weddings. And we know why...

Vogue - Fashion's Night Out @ Milano

Darling people of the World. There are so many days to celebrate. But this one really stands out, at least in our modest opinion

- VOGUE: FASHION'S NIGHT OUT -

September 10th 2009

What better way to tackle the financial crisis (after all, we are Bocconiani, future economists) than a night dedicated to the joy of shopping?

I know you probably have many answers, and if you do... well, you're all wrong. Screw interest rates or whatever you think might fix the problem. If this is not the solution, it's at least a pretty good reason to dress your best, grab your wallet and start shopping for your life.

Shops were open until 23:00, some even later. Oh, and when you get a drink upon entering the store, Euros are bound to fly...

The celebration was held in most major fashion cities, but right now Milan is the number one place to be (we say so, everyone say so - it's truth). So long Paris, so long NYC. Benvenuti a Milano:

Giorgio Armani made an appearance at the Armani Store in Via Manzoni with his pals.

Camikaze finding something she likes.

Mannequins are so last year.

Prima Sagra Der Dito n'Culo.

Jenny Pie

Anna Piaggi.

There's probably nothing as Vogue in this World as this gal. She has written for Vogue and Vanity Fair and is often featured on the fashion blog bible The Sartorialist. She is said to never appear with the same outfit twice in public. And to quote Manolo Blahnik, she is...

"the World's last great authority on frocks"
