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!

My Cup Of Tea Vintage

I`m sorry I have been slightly abscent from the blog lately, but the reason is the mentioned above - I`m working on launching a vintage shop! It`s been my dream to do this and I`m super excited to finally moving a head making a dream come true! We have launched a blog for the shop and I`d be so happy if you clicked on our link to take a look at the very first blog post - our SS 2013 lookbook! blogg.mycupofteavintage.com

Online shop coming soon on mycupofteavintage.com

And I will never leave here

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....

Into the desert again

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!

Backstage snaps from photoshoot with My Cup Of Tea Vintage

Yesterday we had a photoshoot in a beautiful house that we were lucky enough to borrow to shoot in. I styled the shoot using clothing from My Cup Of Tea Vintage. I love working with vintage clothes, but I have another shoot coming up where I`m going to use alot of new clothes in the styling which is going to be fun. You know, I`m not completely stuck in the past... Have a lovely sunday!

Styling by me for My Cup Of Tea Vintage

Model Kristin Blakstad

Erica and I decided to go into studio to practice for an upcoming photoshoot we are doing. It was a great oppurtunity to test how the clothes looked in a proper studio, as I have always shot the photos for MCTV outdoors. We wanted a more editorial feel for this shoot, so we experimented and mixed blurry photos with colour and black and white. What do you think?

Styling by myself

Here are the pictures from the photoshoot I styled for My Cup Of Tea Vintage a little while back. The inspiration for this shoot was an image of a strong bird with bright colours that stands out from its surroundings. All clothes from My  Cup Of Tea Vintage, except from the leggings and bathing suit. I loved collaborating with these girls, we had alot of fun shooting! I`m doing another shoot with Erica and Maria soon, can`t wait to do it all over again!

My Cup Of Tea Vintage

These are a selection of pictures from a photoshoot I styled last year for My Cup Of Tea Vintage. My Cup Of Tea Vintage is in fact my own business, or it was. I`ve put the whole thing on hold for ages, not knowing how to move forward, mostly because of supply issues and money of course.. Today I`m doing a collaboration photoshoot with other creatives who need pictures for their portofolios. I`m doing the styling, using vintage clothes from My Cup Of Tea. I`m excited, hoping this will boost not only my creativity and confidense with styling but perhaps also give me back my motivation for setting up my shop again...
