The massive black eyeliner like Amy Winehouse wears seems to be turning into a trend. I never would have guessed seeing that it´s quite out of the ordinary.

On my way home today I ended up getting a black liquid eyeliner. The inspiration wasn´t Amy Winehouse though, but Cleopatra as my new haircut kind of reminded me of her.

I got the Lancôme Liner Design, which I was told by the sales woman at the first shop I went to, was sold out all over town because it was so good. I did find it the next shop I went to though so I´m not sure if she was being sincere. It is however very good, the color is much more saturated than the one I tried from Chanel, and the felt tip makes it really easy to put on.

I got a package from Chanel today due the new fragrance Coco Mademoiselle. A 7,5 ml sample of the perfume came in a beautiful box with pictures of Keira Knightley who fronts the campaign in with a CD containing photos, behind the scenes shots and more. While I’ve never been a perfume girl and all the perfumes I own are gifts from former boyfriends, Coco Mademoiselle is perfection. It’s ladylike, but not in that old lady way. It’s heavy and fresh at the same time. It’s the kind of perfume I would never wear with jeans and sneakers, it’s one of those perfumes that requires an evening gown and a fur stole. I’ll put it in the best way I can: It’s Chanel. Ahh, if I only owned a beautiful red dress like the one Keira is wearing in the ads I would put it on and spray Coco Mademoiselle all over. Instead I´ll save it for a nice occasion.

Julie Ege is a former Norwegian model and actress that has now ended up on my living room wall. She did several movies in the 60´s and 70´s and there are some amazing pictures of her out there with some great outfits. I love the look with the high waisted shorts.

I love the rolled up sleeves on this white blazer and the gold men´s watch.

Remember when I stumbled across a backyard sale held by three Norwegian celebs a few months ago? I didn´t end up buying anything then as everything was so overprized. But today I went to another backyard sale just cause every market is closed due to the holidays. I was looking at this adorable fur collar and when I asked for the price it turned out to be the Norwegian actress Petronella Barker who was selling it. That wasn´t the cool part though. She told me that she had gotten the fur from Wenche Foss, the ultimate Norwegian diva and actress. Petronalla wanted $30 for the fur, but I haggled it down to $20 and even though I normally wouldn´t give a rats ass about who owned the clothes I wear before I did, I must admit that ending up with a fur previously owned by Wenche Foss is kind of cool. It´s the strangest thing though as I had a dream about her two nights ago, where I, Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi kidnapped her and brought her to a space station to do her portrait.

After work I cleaned the place and had a beer afterwards as a reward. The one beer turned into another beer and suddenly I couldn´t get around to change into something other than my filthy old rags. So I ended up spending the night watching Cabaret instead.

I had planned on wearing a lot of long skirts last fall/winter, but I haven´t worn one once. When it comes down to it I just don´t feel comfortable in them although I often used to wear them when I was younger. Seeing these images of Ashley Olsen reminded me of my plan. I guess part of the problem is exactly that I used to wear long skirts many years ago, and they would make me feel like a rebellious 15 year old again.

As I´ve mentioned earlier my mom has been knitting a bikini for me from an old book from the 50´s, and now it´s done! This summer I´m going to go for a Bettie Page kind of look on the beach.

I love the look of Keira Knightley´s long slouchy sweater. I guess the attidute is half the look cause the sweater it self isn´t all that special.

Hilde of Fashionfiles sent me these pictures of Mary-Kate Olsen and Sienna Miller wearing scrunchies. Maybe it´s not just me, maybe they are on their way back?

A couple of weeks ago many of us were shocked to see Lindsay in this outfit, but maybe she was just ahead of her time?! This is at least what seem to be popping up in the fall shows.

Lindsay Lohan, Matthew Williamson and Jill Stuart.

One of you asked me about Norwegian style icons a few days ago, so while my style is suffering I thought I´d share some of the good things this country have to offer. Mariann Thomassen is the lead singer of the band Surferosa and she´s in my opinion one of the few Norwegian celebs with a little guts when it comes to fashion. I guess sometimes a good haircut is half of it…

I almost put in a bid for a pair of vintage boots like these on eBay a few days ago, but in the last minute I changed my mind thinking that I would have too few occations to wear them compared to how much space they would take in my wardrobe. A couple of days later Elle falls into my mailbox giving me tons of ideas for how to wear them.

While looking through recent celeb shots I quickly came across several pictures of celebs wearing blazers. Jeans seem to be the piece of clothing to pair it with, something I am all for. I like Selma Blair´s look the most, even though Nicole Richie´s look is quite similar. I think it has something to do with that Selma Blair looks a little like she slept her outfit; it´s a little rock & roll. Kirsten Dunst´s look is completely different with a blazer that looks more like something she found her dad´s closet.

Selma Blair, Nicole Richie and Kirsten Dunst.
