Home Town Style: Oslo, Norway…

Retail remedy tips to shop your closet.

I know, going shopping with an empty wallet is not easy. Trust me, I am the kind of person who always finds great things to buy- - no matter what, no matter where, and especially when I cannot afford to buy a thing.

However, from time to time many of us do have to rethink before buying that pair of boots that are just a bit too expensive for our empty wallets– even though we try to convince ourselves that the quality justifies its price since they will last forever… yeah right.

Home Town Style: Oslo, Norway…

I began my shopping adventure today at 10 AM trying to catch up on what the greatest fashion stores in Oslo had to offer this week. It's starting to get pretty cold here with temperature dropping to 5-10 degrees Celsius (41-50 degrees Fahrenheit) so we are getting into our winter looks.

Lot's of faux fur, casual boots, bohemian tops and waistcoats are found everywhere. And, the trend color that caught my eye this time is LILAC!

I love the deep and luxurious shade of lilac that most stores offer this fall. I have actually been dreaming of a pair of lilac velvet skinny-pants, ever since I bought and then threw away a pair 12 years ago…

Mr. Blackwell: 1922-2008

He was our favorite be-atch. We’ve been covering his Worst Dressed Fashion List with glee for years. While we may not have always agreed with Mr. Blackwell, we certainly enjoyed the chuckle.
