Frogner Blandakor

....det var sånn vi hørtes ut utpå natten, da allsangen runget i rommet.
Eller, kanskje det var sånn vi trodde vi hørtes ut etter å ha inntatt en anseelig mengde champagne?

I alle fall var vi 16 jenter som sang av full hals til "Främling", "Fångad av en stormvind", "Is it in his kiss", "The final countdown" osv.

Vi var alle samlet for å feire verdens beste søster som fylte 40 år på fredag. Når den barriæren skal krysses, gjelder det å ha høye nok hæler, mengder av champagne og herlige venninner.
Min søster har alt det, og mere til :)

Så nå er vi skjønt enige om at vi definitivt bør være aktuelle for Korslaget neste år, med sang, dans og miming :)

Barcelona

Barcelona is a fantastic city on the coast of Spain.
In spite of the economic crisis in Europe, Barcelona is bustling with tourists! Unlike other places in Spain, where you will find lots of empty shops - everything is still running good in Barelona.
Why, you might ask...
Well, mostly because of the tourists. Barcelona is filled with them.
Some come for the sun, some for the food and wine, some for the arcitecture and museums, some for the football and some for the shopping.
Barcelona has it all in huge amounts.

I just spent a weekend there, it was my second time in Barcelona, and it will not be the last.
The prices are more than affordable - so going to Barcelona now is good value for money.

I did some shopping in Zara, and compared to the same shop in Norway, it's really cheap!
I bought a leather jacket, price 89€ (today's exchange rate means 650 norwegian kroner), the same jacket in the store in Oslo costs 1500 NOK. So it's more than half price!

That's just one of many examples - so go ahead and shop til you drop!

Fab weekend

My sister came to visit this weekend, and what a fab weekend we have had!
Lot's of sister time :)

I picked her up at the airport on Friday, got some sushi take-away on the way home.
The weather was good, so we decided to eat on the balcony, and of course have champagne!!

Saturday was a bit grey weather wise, but who cares?
We walked in to town, armed with an umbrella and a credit card each - ready for shopping.
Both my sister and I have wanted a Burberry trench coat for a long time.
That is the ultimate trench, and will always be fashionable!
Fist thing we ran to Rene, and tried them on. Big mistake! HUGE!!
After you have tried a Burberry, H&M is not the same anymore!
I'll just have to save up, and maybe visit Burberry when I'm in London in October :))

But we had to do some shopping, and I ended up buying a pair of fab jeans in this fall's it-colour; plum! And I bought a fab fake fur coat. Unfortunately it's too hot to wear it now (words I never thought I would say about Bergen).

In Kløverhuset at Scabal I found a pair of fabulous ankle boots by See by Chloe, and the best thing; they were on sale!! YIHAAA!! Fab colour for the fall as well, a nice cognac/burgundy brown.

After shopping till we almost dropped, we went to Bocca for some lunch.
Bocca is located in the middle of Bergen, and at street level, so you can watch people walking by.
May be spot someone you know as well :)
Good food and decent wine and friendly staff makes this our regular lunch spot.
