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.



City of concerts

Lenny Kravitz on stage in Bergen

Bergen is really the city of concerts during the summer months. It starts in May with Festspillene and Nattjazz, and then it goes on with Bergenfest in June - and of course the bigger concerts outdoor at Koengen.

Last Saturday it was lenny Kravitz on stage at Plenen at Bergenhus Festning.
And what a concert that was. A real hit parade!
All the funky songs from the 90's mad the crowd sing.
The rain was pouring down during the whole concert.
Lenny Kravitz put it well: "let's enjoy this liquid sunshine"

...and we did :)

Full rain gear needed, enjoying the liquid sunshine

Today it's Sting on stage!!!
The reports from his concert at Norwegian Wood in Oslo is fab, so I'm really looking forward to hearing him tonight.
...and the weather is good too. Well, better than Saturday anyway, it's not raining and the sun is shining for a few minutes here and there :)

Sting, going on stage in Bergen

To top off a good week of concerts, we are going to see Jarle Bernhoft on Friday.
This fantastic Norwegian singer has a voice filled with soul.
His funky tunes is accompanied by a musicality that few people have.
He deserves a bigger audience, that's for sure.
And hopefully he'll get it soon

Louis Vuitton

For a long time, I have wanted to buy a Lois Vuitton bag, and because they are quite pricy, I chose one of the not so pricy models.

Neverfull is perfect for my kind of use, I need a bag for work where I can have a notebook and an A4-folder.

So, when I was in London I went to Selfridges, where the ground floor is purse heaven. All the luxury brands are represented: Gucci, Prada, Mulberry, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, etc. ....and of course Louis Vuitton :)

I went in to Louis Vuitton, and of course tried the shoulder bag :)
...and yes, of course you have to try the bag - just to see if it fits, kind of :)

The feeling of being able to buy the bag is happiness to the extreme!!
Walkin out of Selfridges with the beautifully wrapped bag in the magic Louis Vuitton paper bag is just heaven. Strutting down Oxford Street, feeling the weight of the bag, noticing the long envious looks of other female shoppers - priceless!

So now, I'm strutting the streets of Bergen with my Louis Vuitton on my shoulder :)
