After a long hiatus due to intense world traveling and interning in Washington D.C. I have decided for multiple reasons to change and move my blog. I just wasn't happy with the name anymore and the graphics didn't quite cut it. So I'm changing my blog and changing some of the themes. It will still be fashion oriented but include more diys, interior decor, and inspiration.

This is at the base of the Opera House in Oslo. It looks like an arctic glacier and reflects the sun just as much. Super sleek and white, with by far the classiest bathrooms in the city. Architectural details transcend exterior details when the walls of bathrooms are shiny purple glass. I just went to Bergen for the weekend, which was a little like a time-warp to a time of dried cod and cobblestones. So incredibly beautiful and quaint, but I am glad to be back in Oslo. I have a feeling this week will be filled with art museums and leisurely saunters, and Harry Potter 6 TOMORROW!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And...why would I ever leave?</span></span></div>Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10646511234861788270noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715699096857538214.post-22625298528639161342009-07-06T06:26:00.000-07:002009-07-06T06:29:33.568-07:00Besseggen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcgyILrg3Y4ZSsJsfdN9vP1_E7AF_m-uKeF_vASnk_SomHDOpTosfQxEfEqxs_x8TQ74OCMCIhuw6AOIff5gssUqGhqXRtZDmqsiTAoTd-3Ot7twCUWWJq1YayGqCV8EMc0xHneAOSOA_6/s1600-h/DSC_0101.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcgyILrg3Y4ZSsJsfdN9vP1_E7AF_m-uKeF_vASnk_SomHDOpTosfQxEfEqxs_x8TQ74OCMCIhuw6AOIff5gssUqGhqXRtZDmqsiTAoTd-3Ot7twCUWWJq1YayGqCV8EMc0xHneAOSOA_6/s400/DSC_0101.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355338144543081938" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; font-size: small; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">I want to apologize for my lack of posts.

I absolutely love finding pieces and have them remind me of artworks I've studied before or visited in a museum. This dress by Maje immediately reminded me of this painting "Ophelia" by John Millais in 1850. I think it has something to do with the painterly floral pattern of the dress and how it appears to be hidden beneath clear water. The pleating also echos to the movement of the river. Though the Ophelia painting is rather dark, the pastoral setting matches this dress, as far as I can see. If I wanted to dress as this painting, I would most definitely wear this dress!</span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVP1ebEn_rUq7yzY8lNN2yLzAQxD9EIXxmhWVGQtd-BVULFtrr-ob2ia1uE0V4miuQfnmNhI2SbpNRXssviBn3dkhCE2i0JAYkkQPExfYWUgiz5v7urWlLrFcYHShT6mMLGZjDjVa3KtCE/s1600-h/ophelia.jpg"><img style="text-align: justify;float: right; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 225px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVP1ebEn_rUq7yzY8lNN2yLzAQxD9EIXxmhWVGQtd-BVULFtrr-ob2ia1uE0V4miuQfnmNhI2SbpNRXssviBn3dkhCE2i0JAYkkQPExfYWUgiz5v7urWlLrFcYHShT6mMLGZjDjVa3KtCE/s320/ophelia.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335358554358443618" /></a>Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10646511234861788270noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715699096857538214.post-77650939422354749622009-05-10T11:34:00.000-07:002009-05-10T11:40:12.213-07:00Momma Hen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAltHCGwfZPU5qTyxImIAAXGJJjC0vZ-pFMiFhvP0OHLLeFvM-lHdaMaLtzmJmwXWvZKcQFTFik5v_qGd0ySbJlVSCxiGUqaXy6FKUbtXKIBTstCowU51v4qZ9KbbkaP61kE_QcaF98WDQ/s1600-h/DSC00110.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAltHCGwfZPU5qTyxImIAAXGJJjC0vZ-pFMiFhvP0OHLLeFvM-lHdaMaLtzmJmwXWvZKcQFTFik5v_qGd0ySbJlVSCxiGUqaXy6FKUbtXKIBTstCowU51v4qZ9KbbkaP61kE_QcaF98WDQ/s400/DSC00110.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334265733390981634" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">So since it is Mother's day and all, I felt it very appropriate to post about how wonderful my mother is. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">She is my biggest fan and supporter.

Trying to stay awake while indulging in tea and coffee is probably my favorite part about finals ( if its even allowed to have a favorite part). Well, when I was stumbling through <a href="http://www.rodneysmith.com">Rodney Smith's</a> photo archive, I came across these two photographs. While normally his photography stuns me for its surrealistic qualities and clever use of umbrellas. I thought that these two photos were particularly relevant to my cafe indulgent week ahead.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-size: 13px; font-style: italic;"><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-size: 13px; font-style: italic;">I also fell in love with the contrast between the black and white Parisian cafe, and the vibrant colorful Italian Cafe. I kept trying to think of the statement being made of whether one is better than the other, but I found that is not the case. Both are beautiful for their own reasons independently. The Parisian woman in her white ball gown looks like something out of day dream, while the Italians remind one of a pleasant afternoon laughing with friends. Both are lovely in their own respects. I also think that the juxtaposition of the two says something of black and white vs. color. Neither is more appropriate than the other.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-size: 13px; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-size: 13px; font-style: italic;"> Life is both, so wear both. Your surroundings and the atmosphere will color themselves to match.</span></div></div>Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10646511234861788270noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715699096857538214.post-43448817056148010152009-04-29T08:00:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:10:11.370-07:00The Flowers Go Marching 2 by 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyCdbfXOmqF414elPZP2iqJolK44eVnPeHWB8HSJfbGaboXOW3Ibl-Hjs3UvHPfAczVmuMLUYRzR3_9OuL9BSLx0_cMLUeMC5OvRvX1ma_g4jhad5TG3atFZWEVyH5sVpln1KysrRU16x/s1600-h/DSC01825.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyCdbfXOmqF414elPZP2iqJolK44eVnPeHWB8HSJfbGaboXOW3Ibl-Hjs3UvHPfAczVmuMLUYRzR3_9OuL9BSLx0_cMLUeMC5OvRvX1ma_g4jhad5TG3atFZWEVyH5sVpln1KysrRU16x/s400/DSC01825.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330128797655884786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMZrnzuMJNmEpMNYMoUXrGDLfReOYZqkbUw0ZoL1PHoP7PTBODoaxzqUk5dhFGRN4koeoNu0rRBL2xeSOIRZ63wWOAjjbW-dXQP17N96TPRJ55n13EqFO5aB-8sO6P-ch6WP1TEkc-RHjf/s1600-h/DSC01826.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMZrnzuMJNmEpMNYMoUXrGDLfReOYZqkbUw0ZoL1PHoP7PTBODoaxzqUk5dhFGRN4koeoNu0rRBL2xeSOIRZ63wWOAjjbW-dXQP17N96TPRJ55n13EqFO5aB-8sO6P-ch6WP1TEkc-RHjf/s400/DSC01826.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330128623963067698" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; font-size: x-small; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Wearing: Anthropologie Top, Vintage Belt, H & M Skirt, Seychelles Wedges</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-size: 10px; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In an effort to make my daily wear more print ready, I have been trying to layer and wear things together that I've never worn before.
