Black is classy.
Colour is magic.
Beige is boring.



Choose two colours, a nice ribbon and jump!


Yep, glitters.


And now put on some disco.

I've realized something over these past months: I'm a slow blogger. Blogging on a schedule, three times a week, isn't for me. I blog whenever I feel like it but above all, whenever I have time. Blogging is what you make out of it. Nothing less, nothing more. Expectations, pressure... get out.

Listening... to Amadou & Mariam. Their latest album is GOLD.
Waking up... to a bedroom filled with balloons.
Falling asleep... to Cesar singing 'Soft Kitty'.
Turning... 29 :)
Visiting... the newest museum in town.
Collecting... pretty things here & here.
Loving... rainbow nails.


Tomorrow will be a bit of a celebration: my very first day off in April (!!!) I will celebrate by sleeping in, having lunch out and doing pretty much nothing.

A dishwasher is a good modern convenience, however when it's used usually, with time it may create a grungy buildup on the inside. Learn the simple, economical and surprising solution to clean your dishwasher such that it sparkles like new. Empty all dishes along with other items from the dishwasher. This cleaning method only cleans the dishwasher, it won't clean dishes. Pour two lemonade Kool-Aid packets to the soap dispenser. Avoid using the type with sugar already added. Every other favor, or color, but lemonade will stain the dishwasher. Run your dishwasher on any cycle.

Dear Anonymous,
thank you.
Sincerely,
Adeline.

Read more about March Challenge on Laura's blog.


The biggest challenge?
Keeping the distance, starting a project and completing it, stopping postponing.

Greatest achievement?
I started customizing a sweater and by customizing I mean spending hours sewing. It's still a work in process, I'm halfway through but I do look forward to wearing it soon! (And of course, telling everyone I made it!)

Anything you've done for the projects that you wouldn't have done otherwise?
I'm very impulsive and I rarely have regrets. March was all about doing things I hadn't done in a long time: wearing heels as soon as the snow had left the streets, eating ice-cream outside, wearing sunglasses, catching up with friends (stop saying someday but agree on a date). Getting rid of the winter lethargy.

Describe the projects in 3 words:
Better off offline.

Highlights of the challenge?
Once you don't spend your evening online, you sleep much better at night.
Once you don't measure what you've accomplished by how many comments or likes it received, you will rediscover the simple pleasure of sharing. 
Once you don't have an agenda for everything, you'll be much cooler.

She shares my love for unicorns and Lady Gaga. Which obviously is a pretty good start. She's had pretty much every hair colour you can think of. Which I'm very jealous of. She's both a cute Frenchie and a hot mama and I just love how eclectic and playful her style is. I love her boldness, I love her sense for colour.

Meet Katia.

* Chit-chat

• First, could you tell me a little bit about yourself?  
I'm 24, I live in Cannes for the moment, I love photography, I often change my hair colour, I love ponies, cats and unicorns and of course I love fashion.
• When did you start blogging and why?
I started very young when I was in high school, with Skyblog just to pass the time and then it became more personal with my pictures and finally a real blog on blogspot in 2007.
• How much time do you devote to blogging on a daily basis?
Not much because when my article is online I just have to read comments, moderate them and answers them if a question is asked.  The thing that takes the longest is taking pictures because I'm a maniac, I want them to be perfect in every detail, then I edit them quickly, post them and voilà!
• What do you like the most about blogging? What do you like the least?
To share my thoughts and pictures with people who can be so far from me but with a blog it makes us feel closer. What I like the least, I think, it would be like anyone else: nasty and anonymous comments!



* Fashion

• How would you describe your style?
Honestly I don't know, loads of people ask me this question but I can't answer. I like to change, a day I will wear a studded leather jacket with creeper shoes and the next day it will be a vintage floral dress with some cute flats etc.
I just love vintage, kitch stuff, colourful clothes and to mix everything, I like looking like an old lady or bad taste kind!
•Name your favourite brands, shops... 

Asos, Topshop, Etsy, Ebay, Urban Outfitters, Yard Sales, Vintage Shops, JCDC, Jeremy Scott, I'm Your Present… 
•Any particular inspiration? Do you have a style icon?

Not really.. everything inspires me :)
• Do you have guiding principles when it comes to creating an outfit? Colours for instance? How do you create an outfit?

I like to mix patterns togethers like dots with stripes.. I like colourblock outfits too! I don't really have a guide when I create an outfit, I just put something that I like with another thing and voilà. Also when I buy something, usually I already know how I'm going to wear it, with which item - if not I don't buy it.
• What's the last piece of clothing you fell for? 

A custom denim jacket, I'm going to receive it soon so I'm going to blog about it of course!
• What's the next one you'd like to get?

I want my hair to be pink again… Not exactly clothing but it's part of my look, right? :)

• Would you say your tattoos help you defining/asserting your style? Or is it something completely independent from your style? 

I guess it's independent but it's also a part of my style... I don't really know... I also think that it's maybe why people visit my blog because it makes me a little different from other bloggers :)





* Life (and a good measure of curiosity)
• Other hobbies, beside fashion?
Photography, traveling, eating (haha), going to the movies.. like everybody else I guess :)
• Do you collect anything?
Rings.. shoes.. cameras!
• Favourite book?
It's a shame but I don't read books, I read blogs, website, fashion magazines but that is all!
• Favourite movie?
Any comedy movie! I just love to laugh, I never watch any drama movie or horror movies because I'm a pussy and it makes me scared at night!
• Favourite music?
Pop! Rock! Anything I don't have a special one.. I listen to everything I can, from the Spice Girls to Marylin Manson. 
• Favourite food?
PIZZA! Or maybe Ice Cream? Oh god I can't choose.
• Favourite place?
London or Paris.




Merci Katia!

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference."
- Elie Wiesel

A week ago, the Nobel Peace Center had an amazing exhibition opening entitles "24 hours in Afghanistan". The idea was quite simple: the center was open for 24 hours non-stop, no entrance fee and an impressive program. 

'IN AFGHANISTAN shows different aspects of a country we have heard much about, 
without really knowing much.'

In addition to the beautiful exhibition InAfghanistan, you could attend short conferences, get your hands tattooed, give your blood or watch movies. If you have five minutes, please watch Sleeping Soldiers, it's worth a thousand stars.

A long time ago a magical doll was delivered to my desk.  I  wanted to take her all around San Francisco but the weather, in typical San Francisco fashion, didn't cooperate.  Most of her time in city was spent indoors and eating a various local restaurants.  We did manage to escape the house for a bit to see the murals in the Mission and hike up Bernal Hill.


As a special treat we drove down to Palo Alto and spent time in one of the many science labs at Stanford University.  Ada got to play around with a bunch of chemicals and the bacterias, and I'm pretty sure she is responsible for some huge scientific discovery :)  She even made friends with other dolls in between experiments! 


I never knew that you could have so much fun with a traveling doll
and I am extremely grateful for the experience.

When Luciana told me she was going to Chile for a month, we immediately thought Ada should join her. Unfortunately, Ada couldn't make it on time so Luciana took one of her sisters - Mama Mango - on this adventure and brought us back some beautiful shots. Thanks Luci!

As soon as Ada arrived I had to take a "welcome!" picture right away; because finally Ada had come to Chicago!! Now I live a little outside Chicago, so for a few days Ada spent time relaxing out here in my backyard with my dog Cookie. As you can see, it's really hard to capture my dog's face. Then she spent sometime frolicking amongst flowers, climbing trees, crossing little red bridges, standing next to cars, and looking out to the distance; waiting for the day we could make it to downtown Chicago. 

First we visited the Art Institute of Chicago, known for its iconic lions that guard the front entrance. She saw many cool art pieces including Grant Wood's "American Gothic." Then we headed towards Millenium Park, where the Bean is, and purple flower gardens abound. We spent sometime there people watching, and taking pictures against the skyline. We also walked over to the Roman memorial columns, just to check them out, and saw Oprah Winfrey's name inscribed on it! It was a beautiful and sunny summer day in Chicago. Of course I had to take one photo with Ada and me before she left! I guess there was too much sun that day, since it came out so bright. Anyway she soon had to leave, so I made her a little flower scarf that she used to keep warm as she looked out the window on the last rainy day. Ada loved Chicago, and I hope she comes back one day!











May 23, 11:43 AM




I had been waiting for Ada’s arrival since June 2010. I followed her travels closely and was even a bit jealous when she got to meet some of my blog friends before me.

I think it was the color that first drew me to Ada... Who wouldn’t want to be friends with a cheery red doll?





Since I live so close to America’s capital city, visiting friends are always insisting on the tour... White House, Washington Monument, Union Station, etc. We headed out early with Ada to take in the sights, but I could tell she got bored fast.





And here is the great thing about Ada - she is not one of those friends that visits and insists on being entertained. No, Ada is the friend you can simply take to your favorite coffee shop and enjoy time together.

So, with this new understanding, we left D.C. and headed to my favorite part of Virginia, Old Town Alexandria.







Living so close to a big city, people aren’t especially warm and friendly. People keep their eyes averted, concentrating on iPhones or street signs.

The day we went out with Ada, Jeremy and I had a ball. We laughed when White House security guards came over to monitor the suspicious behavior of a 6’ 2” man climbing up the gate of the White House holding a plastic doll over his head. I yelled when Jer thought it was a good idea to set Ada on a windy peer, precariously close to the water. “How will I explain that we lost Ada in the Potomac River to Adeline?!”

We were so wrapped up, that we were shocked every time someone stopped us to say...

“What a pretty doll!”

“May I ask what you are doing?”

“Is this for a special art show?”

“Would you like a photo of the three of you?”

“Ok. I came over because I just know there is a story here!”

In all seriousness, isn’t that what we all want? Someone to genuinely want to hear our story?

If there is a lesson that Miss Ada left me, it’s this - live your life so that you are wrapped up in the enjoyment of it, and you will be surprised by the people that are drawn to you.

So, thanks, Ada, for showing me that people in D.C. can be nice (hopefully those few people weren’t just tourists from Idaho). ;)





That is all.

When Melly sent me those photos, she put a huge smile upon my face. And then I thought: "Some people won't see the magic." and I started thinking of this post...

In my opinion, they are different ways to react at those photos depending on what you focus on: aesthetic, personal taste, photo technique... Melly is a skilled photographer but I, as an individual, appreciate above all her sense for details and her sense of humour, like a child smiling right after he's done something silly. 

Take, for instance, this shot on the bus. Don't think about it as a photo but as a piece of an experiment: imagine Melly or even better yourself taking Ada out of your bag, switching your camera on... You may feel a bit silly or a bit embarrassed, there may be people looking at you, wondering what the heck you're doing. Or it may go completely unnoticed. Anyhow, I can guarantee that you'll have a rush of adrenaline and I can guarantee you'll have a crush on Ada - even though she's made of plastic. And I do hope you'll be proud about being part of this collective experiment. 

When I tell people about this project, it's always interesting to see their reactions: some smile and tell me how much they love this idea and I'm delighted by their enthusiasm; some don't really see the point and look at it as a waste of time. I don't blame them, we're all different and I don't expect everyone to like every single of my projects. But I feel a bit sad - dare I say sorry? - for them because obviously they don't understand the magic in a globetrotting doll or in trusting people you've actually never met. How often do you trust strangers these days? The Beatles said "all you need is love". Well, I need my daily dose of magic. 

Thank you for making the magic happen.

I'm so happy Ada finally made it to California and met Gus! I took her to a couple areas she insisted on visiting. Hope you like the set.


Ada went to San Francisco where she had tapas and went shopping.


She had a burrito in Hollywood and insisted on having her picture taken next to Marilyn Monroe's footprints at Graumans Chinese Theater.


She got to see Banksy art in person!!!



She ended her trip at a local antique store in the Orange Circle. 
Oops, she almost got mistaken for an Antique store item.

She lives across the street but I wouldn't be able to recognize her if I met her on the street. I sometimes see her late at night, a figure moving around in a miniature flat. Her life is probably not that different from mine. She opens the door, gets rid of her keys, without thinking. Details catch her attention, she should call Lili, dust her knick-knacks by the window... But then she sees her bed and hear the pillow calling. She'll start by taking a nap. "Just an hour" she says as she takes off her shoes.

A Sunday after I had lived here almost six months, I decided to climb up to the top of Skansen Kronan, my neighbouring hill and historical viewpoint. I saw my neighbourhood from the top.

(First: Yeah, it's all my fault and I am extremely sorry. Here's my excuses: Exams happened. Christmas happened. Going to Iceland with my long distance boyfriend happened. More exams happened. But now it's normal schedule and time for Her-Der!)



It was close to exams crazyness and the first day of "snow" according to the other exchange students, meaning that the air was full of slushy, wet snow flakes.



We came directly from the studio, got drunk on one beer and say these guys being dead serious about tambourine and some fantastic pop music.



And when they packed up their stuff, we left as well.

Things I will remember: the sound of the tram arriving / weekend breakfasts in Egg & Milk / dancing my ass off in indie clubs / all the handsome men / concerts in small clubs and in Liseberg / our fabulous apartment / my new Swedish friends / Wednesday in the climbing gym / the super cute seals and penguins in Slottsskogen / after work on Fridays


Things I will forget:  the relaxed vibe of Majorna / that Systembolaget closes two o'clock at Saturdays / my running route in Slottsskogen / the price on (Norwegian) salmon / all the shortcuts from district to district / where all the nice secondhand shops are
November 14, 04:30 PM
So, here we go again. Just a quick note to explain, I moved to Göteborg in August for a year abroad as a part of my degree. For several reasons, I ended up here, in the second largest city in Sweden, which is actually closer to Adeline (err... Oslo) than Trondheim was. It is still another country. The food is different, the tram is on time and it feels in many ways a lot further away than Trondheim did. And my Mum misses me way more now. Okay, over to the first challenge.
-Astrid.

They all speak Swedish, which is quite easy to understand as a concept, but not in the details. They laugh of me when I use "rar" in the wrong way (it means weird in Norwegian but cute in Swedish) and because I always sound so happy. Just as we Norwegians always sound like we're asking questions in English, we sound superhappy all the time for the other Scandinavians. Swedish has as many dialects as Norwegian, but I can only hear a few of them: the Skåne dialect, which is more like Danish, the Bohuslän dialect, which reminds me of the Western Norwegian dialects, and Stockholm, which is just cocky. We adapt to each other, they start to speak with Norwegian accents and I blend in more and more Swedish words.

I have started to dream in Swedish.


This is how I sound to the Swedes.


November 04, 04:26 PM

This is not the first time we give up on Her & Der. Once again, we got busy with studies and work and all of a sudden it was summer. Astrid moved to Göteborg to study, Adeline got the job she had been dreaming of and time went by. 

We both have those travel cards and Astrid suggested we could use them to challenge each other: pick one card or two, let the other illustrate with photos & words.
So here we are, two cards on my desk. Ready Astrid? Go!

- Adeline.






March 13, 04:45 PM

Astrid: The Glorious Line. April 19, I'm standing in front singing along to this in Terminal 5 in New York. To say I'm excited would be the understatement of the year.

Adeline: When Astrid picked this week's theme, she probably didn't know that I don't listen to PJ Harvey. Don't misunderstand me: I like her music but somehow I never fell for it. 



Next week's theme will be 'wait & see' chosen by Adeline.



March 07, 03:19 PM






Astrid: This will surprise no one: that my favourite habit is making coffee in the morning. I find breakfast the meal that could be either the best or the worst - it depends so much on the time left for it.

Adeline: I couldn't help smiling when I saw Astrid's pick as it's also my favourite habit. I guess we're friends for a reason (several actually). I actually always wait a couple of hours before having my first coffee. I like having the flat all by myself in the morning. I like having breakfast in my jammies and checking my emails, then getting ready for the day. Working part-time has really had a positive impact on that specific part of the day: I no longer have to hurry up and can wake up at my own pace.


Next week's theme will be a song by PJ Harvey, set by Astrid.


February 27, 12:38 PM







Adeline: Looks like my flatmate solved one of the society's biggest problems: 'What to wear today.'
Astrid: Det lukte bensin av den vakre kjolen min.
Kaizers Orchestra again.


Next week's theme will be "my favourite routine/habit" - chosen by Adeline.
February 26, 10:01 AM








Astrid: Sorry about the delay. I got the flu. So I'm lying in bed, waiting to get better.
Adeline: Hi Spring, hurry up, will you?

Next week's theme will be blue, set by Astrid.
February 13, 11:51 AM






Astrid: Minus degrees calls for hearty meals, so I turn to the East European cuisine. Today: Bortsch!

You need: 2 yellow onions, 4 cloves of garlic, some olive oil, 4 beetroots, some cabbage, 2 carrots, 2 tbs vinegar, 1 tbs sugar, 1,5 litres of water, 2 dices of broth (preferably ox), 100 g bacon, salt, pepper.

You do this: Clean and cut onion and garlic. Slice the bacon and fry in a big pot with the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and fry this as well. Add some water and leave this to boil when making the other ingredients ready. Peel the beetroots, and slice them into very small pieces. Do the same to the carrots, and slice the cabbage as well. Add all this to the pot, add water and the broth. Let the soup boil until the vegetables are ready, about 15 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to taste.


You eat: with a spoonful of creme fraiche or sour cream in the bowl, with some nice bread and vodka on the side. Yummy!

Adeline: Mix rum, lime and a spoon of sugar, serve with ginger ale. Dance, sing, laugh and take polaroids. However, be aware it might have some side effects the following day: your flat looks like a battlefield and all you want to do is sleep. Happy Sunday!




Next week: Patience, suggested by Nardiville.

Adeline: "Make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away from here."

Astrid: We did some weird things in India. One day we went bird spotting in a bird reservoir. Sitting in a cycle rickshaw, we went around in the reservoir looking at the birds. (There was also a tiger in the reservoir, but we didn't see him.) Luckily, we spotted the Kingfisher, India's national bird. Isn't he cute? (and click for a better resolution..)


Next week's theme will be a recipe, set by Astrid.
