The Standard Pt.2

35 Comments | Fashion

Remember this post with my standard outfit that I always go to when I’m in a rush? Now this huge teddybear jacket is definitely my new go-to-jacket, I just love it. The heels are also a big fave, they’re so high yet so comfortable to walk in. This is yesteday’s look, of a very very hungover Cath..

Not the best picture, but here you can see how pretty the Chanel nail polish I blogged a few days ago is. I love the color! And I have to say, I loved the nail polish. I’ve been a nothing-but-Essie-gal for the last few years, I just love the wide brush. I tried one from Chanel a few years ago and I actually didn’t think it was good at all. Now it seems dramatically improved, so I got two more at the airport last night. Wanna see?

Jacket and heels: topshop // Jeans: Benetton // Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim // Sunnies: D&G

As you know I’m home in Bergen again, and it feels so good. Of course it was such a shame leaving Copenhagen just as fashion week started, but I don’t really mind. A few days home with no makeup, no heels, no fancy schmancy stuff is just what I need. January has been a stressful month, and I’m a bit exhausted, especially as I’ve been sick for almost two weeks. The last few weeks are just a big blur for me, but don’t get me wrong, it’s been tons of fun. Oslo with big meetings and events, straight home to prepare the pop’up shop while having the flu, of course the big day of the pop’up shop, then straight to Copenhagen.. I’m headed to Oslo again next week, so I’m glad I get a few quiet days home. All you really get to see on my blog is the fashion side of me, but a big big part of my life is just being silly with my friends, wearing pajamas and having cosy girl’s nights in, seeing my family and boyfriend a lot, cooking, sewing, etc. Lately I haven’t had time for any of that. So the bottom line is; I’m so happy to be home, even though I could’ve had tons of fun in Copenhagen with fashion shows, champagne and fancy events. Maybe I’m simply not a real fashionista at heart, just a girl who never really got over the joy of playing dress up as a kid.. Wishing you all a wonderful day♥

  2. The reason I love your blog so much is you are just a real girl at heart (and not afraid to admit it or write about it) so along with your glamorous antics you also share how you chill out at home and just do regular girly things (pyjama slouchy days and spending time with friends) I think it is wonderful that you have this balance in your life. I hope you manage to get some rest and time with Bella and your boyfriend :)

  5. Du er så fin! Og for et fantastisk antrekk :) Jeg elsker Chanel-neglelakker! Har fått en fin samling, men den rosa MÅ jeg ha! Hva heter den? Og ja, vil selvfølgelig se de to andre du kjøpte! :)

  8. “I’ve been a nothing-but-Essie-gal” Hehe, måtte bare kopiere denne. Artig med litt norsk – engelsk :P
    Jakka ser kjempe godt ut, lurer på å skaffe meg samme selv! Håper du får hvilt deg godt ut slik at du er klar for nye eventyr og spennende blogginnlegg. Synes forresten sy-innleggende er veldig motiverende og venter spent på neste :D

  11. Hehe skjønte ikke helt hva du mente med norsk-engelsk ;p er det gal du tenker på? Det er i så fall bare et annet ord for jente/person, så på norsk blir det ingenting-annet-enn-Essie-jente :) Tusen takk for fin kommentar, kjekt å høre :D

  13. Jeg bestilte den på nettet, men de shipper ikke til Norge :/ Jeg har en veldig snill tremenning i London som jeg kunne bestille til, så videresendte hun pakken til meg :)

  15. Elsker antrekket! Så casual, men likevel ikke. Og så ser jeg opp til deg for at du har de verdiene du har, at du ikke er så egoistisk. Du er eventyrlysten, men likevel jordnær og familiekjær. Det liker jeg! Ha en fin dag videre, Cathrine!

  16. Hey Cath,
    first of all: I loooove your Coat!!! If you ever want to give it away.. ;-) contact me!! Haha!!
    second: the main thing why I absolutely love your blog is that you are such a great person! I love your way of living life: doing what you love the most! Hanging out with your family, friends and stuff like this.
    And to be honest: I’m not that interested in blogs where all you can read is: what is “Trend” now and where is the next fashionweek starting.. You understand the point?
    I totally agree with you: there’s nothing better than playing dress up as a kid!

    Lots of Love <3

  18. Oh I’ve been eyeing that bag for months and months now, it’s like being hopelessly in love, as I’m a student haha. I’ve started to save up now though, and I’m pretty close to making a purchase! I don’t remember when and where you bought yours, and online it’s only available for pre-ordering, how would you recommend I do this? I hope you enjoyed Copenhagen btw, I live in Denmark and just got back from Copenhagen 1 day before you arrived, which I was quite sad about, as I would have loved to see you!

    Love <3

  19. Ville bare si at jeg synes det er så kult at du viser gjenbruk så genuint! Sjelden vare i den store bloggverdnen! :)
    Håper formen din blir bedre av litt hjemme-tid. Viktig og hente seg inn. :)

  20. Veldig fint og casual antrekk! Så må jeg bare si at jeg håper du blir bedre snart, kan tenke meg det er godt å få noen dager hjemme da :) “Maybe I’m simply not a real fashionista at heart, just a girl who never really got over the joy of playing dress up as a kid.. ” Jeg likte den setningen veldig godt!

  22. Den jakka ser jo helt fantastisk god ut da, og ikke minst fin – så jeg skjønnre godt at du liker den ;-) (skulle gjerne hatt den selv, hehe). Utrolig fresh den neglelakken du kjøpte ja ;-) Har faktisk aldri prøvd chanel, men blir jo litt påvirka nå da, hehe. Og den veska er jo utroolig lekker da ;-) Og sist men ikke minst: det er bra du dro hjem for å slappe av litt tror jeg. Viktig å høre til kroppen. Det har jeg spesielt lært de siste årene. Man lærer så lenge man lever ;-) Håper alt står bra til med deg.

  23. Takk for skjønn kommentar :) Du burde prøve Chanel, ble helt overrasket over hvor fin den ble og hvor lenge den holdt :D Slik var det iiikke for et par år siden. Ja jeg trengte det virkelig nå, av og til er det rett og slett eneste løsning :) Stor klem

  28. Hi Agnete :) I ordered this bag on Ebay! It was sold out everywhere, and the one I found was only worn a few times :) You could check out Ebay as well if you want to save some $$ :) Love <3

  34. Jeg elsker den siste statement-en din; “Maybe I’m simply not a real fashionista at heart, just a girl who never really got over the joy of playing dress up as a kid”. <3
