FROM NORWAY WITH LOVE

This time last week I was arriving home from an amazing weekend in Oslo after the boy sent my best friend and myself as a surprise 26th birthday treat!
The city was beautiful and the pair of us arrived with all the best intentions to see some art and visit some museums but ended up doing what we do best...shop. And drink coffee. I'd advise anyone to go if given the chance but be prepared kids, it's hands down, the most expensive place I've ever been so my bag didn't come back as filled with goodies as I'd hoped but here's what I did return with.

I met a friend for lunch agessssss ago and she was wearing this skirt in a magenta shade and I had instant skirt envy. As someone who pretty much wears only black this is incredibly bold for me but I have a massive thing for midi skirts and as I bought it from the Salvation Army shop it worked out at about a fiver! Good work.

Being the magpie that I am, I'm forever attracted to something shiny, especially when it involves a massive rock on my finger. I don't usually buy costume jewellery as I can't be bothered with green fingers but I couldn't resist this beauty. I even got given some money off because it was my birthday and thankfully, no green digits yet. 

On the night of arrival, Rache Rabbit and I stumbled across a brilliant but very tiny Americana style bar. We quickly made friends with some locals who pointed us in the direction of some amazing vintage shops and I'm crazy glad they did....BECAUSE I FOUND THIS! I have been after a Girls Girls Girls Motley Crue t-shirt for as long as I can remember. I didn't want a re-print, nor did I want a fitted one. Oslo delivered.

Norway, I think I love you.
