Parkland dreaming

vintage top MY CUP OF TEA VINTAGE

I`ve been working hard on launching my online shop and it`s finally up and running! Take a look HERE! As a result I haven`t had much time to enjoy the lovely weather and that`s why I look a bit dreamy in these photos - it was impossible to get any good ones where I looked at the camera because I looked too tired. Although I`m tired I am extremely happy to have made a dream come true and I`m going to work hard to sustain it and make it successful! So please excuse my lack of posting! I promise more frequent blog updates from now on! I hope you are well and that your summer holiday dreams have been fulfilled!

The top I`m wearing in the photos is now for sale in my shop HERE!

Sunny calls for lace

I love these sunny summer evenings in Oslo, the city bathed in sunlight making everything so serene.... This dress I`ve had for a while, it`s not vintage but I love the 60s feel of it with the rounded collar and scallop lace front.

San Francisco you are mine

San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities I have been to. I adore the gorgeous architecture and love the relaxed atmosphere. Hope you enjoyed this mini photo diary! For more photos of my visit to San Francisco visit my Instagram profile @mondeordinaire

I had the pleasure of spending a mini break in Hardanger with my boyfriend visiting his family. They all live on the same farm land by the fjord - it`s idyll one don`t find too often....

Desert Vintage

No, it`s not a name I invented for wearing vintage in the desert. Desert Vintage is an actual shop in Tucson and I got to know the owners whilst travelling through Arizona. We made a pit stop in Tucson and stumbled upon Desert Vintage (or actually the lime coloured house which contains the shop is hard to miss) where we got chatting to the owners Salima and Roberto who are the sweetest people. They invited us out that same evening and we ended up staying almost three days there and spending alot of time with Roberto and Salima. They showed us what Tucson is all about - live music, art, fashion, friends and fun - being yourself and following your dreams.

The Californian desert has me enchanted. I just want to go back to hang out with all the lovely people we met in the weird and wonderful places we visited. I promise you will see some photos on here soon that are not from the desert. So stay with me....

Favourite Instagram Pictures March

 In March I travelled around in America, driving a car around for the most part, and discovered many lovely places, visited some of the natural wonders of the world, met some wonderful people and bought some amazing vintage clothes. Here is a selection of some of my favourite Instagram photos from the trip. Take a look at my profile @mondeordinaire (or click the link in the sidebar) to see the rest of the photos from my trip.

I love frolicking around in flowy dresses, and shooting in this California desert for My Cup Of Tea Vintage was incredible - almost like being in a different world - massive stones forming small mountains creating spectacular organic shapes. The sheer dress moving with the wind created a beautiful contrast to the stone wall in the background. But you should have seen the view of the desert in front of me - amazing!

It`s me again! Forgot about me? Well, I haven`t forgotten about you. The blog is back up and running! Keep checking back for outfit posts, updates on my shop (oh yes,it`s finally happening), photos I take of things that inspire me and places that I`ve visited. Oh, and if you want to flick through all my old stuff on here be my guest! But I assure you that I am now taking the blog in a slight new direction. Hope you like it!
