SUMMER FAVOURITE: MATCHING SEPARATES

Ok, many of you would think - why travel anywhere if you are going to hang by the hotel pool?, but for me coming from Bergen and 13C to sunny Montenegro and 35C was like being hit in the face by the heat. Literary.
So, (although I now have a really,really nice tan )the midday was completely unbearable for the first couple of days. But a good packer as I am a have foreseen all of this and packed my favorite breezy and very matchy ensemble from the ultra-cool FWSS. I have been into matching tops and bottoms for a while now,looking for  pieces that almost resembles onesie, yet had all the versatility of a two piece outfit.So this navy/white geometric print combo was a love at first sight,and being made in silk (a BIG plus when being on ultrawarm place) gave the whole look a perfect slouchy fit, not loosing the tailoring for the sake of comfort. One word: love.

I am wearing FWSS shorts and shirt, Cooee Silver cuff, Eddie Borgo bracelet, Georg Jensen watch and a RayBans.

DARIA HERE,DARIA THERE

It's the Daria-effect - fashions favorite gal landing once again Celine and Isabel Marant campaigns, and at it looking perfectly lovely in both of them, channeling just the right amount of attitude mixed with a right dose of coolness.Way to go girl(s)!

LAZY SUNDAY

'

So, tons of clothes are waiting to be unpacked, yet I couldn't get myself  to open a suitcase - instead we popped by our favourite coffee shop. Although we spent the days in Montenegro laying on the beach we spent the nights strolling around which in turn meant Sunday spent in flats was a blessing. So nothing fancy today,just a shorts and a sweater.And a pop of  color that really giver a nice contrast to my newly obtained tan... And a mood lifter for the rainy, gloomy and so very dark Bergen ;)

I am wearing Kenzo sweater,Acne short and flats,Marc Jacobsen pusse,Eddie Borgo jewelry and Georg Jensen watch.

I'M BACK!

Hell my dear readers! I am officially back from my vaca and despite the lack of updates I have been a good blogger and snapped most of my outfits. But, before I catch a break from unpacking and edit the photos you can check out the article on LuelleMag giving you  a good peek into my style philosophy and wardrobe. See it here ;)
Here is a little preview and you can see my new pink arm candy that I got in Montenegro...;)

I am wearing Balmain sweater, Samsøe&Samsøe shorts, TheManual&Co purse and RayBans

Showing off my Aquazurras, Chanel in Frenzy, Gondola and Black Velvet and the python beauty from Angel Jackson.

TROPICAL NIGHTLIFE

 You all noticed how lightly I packed for being away for a weak. This was supposed to be no heels-no fuss weekend-trying to recharge batteries, but at the end I couldn't help myself and packed two pairs of heels- amongst them my beloved Aquazzuras (which as you might have noticed are probably the most used pair of heels for the time being). The Montenegro isn't a place for a relaxed nightlife so clubbing ended up being a art of the night routine.I have been going for the tee/skirt combo as it's actually just to warm to wear anything else... ;)

I am wearing vintage tee, Givenchy skirt, Aquazzura heels and Saint Laurent bag. The watch is ,my favourite Georg Jensen, Cooee silver bracelet and Eddie Borgo jewelry.

BEACHLIFE

SO, I am currently enjoying not doing so very much. The easy beachlife, music and late tropical nights is really something I could easily get used to, but than again who wouldn't...Anyways what do you wear when it is just to hot outside to think about clothes?I am so glad I decided to give Lisa Marie Fernandez bikini a go (despite their tiny bottom sizing!) as this has to be my fav bikini in..ever?!It has this really cool superhero costume vibe over it being made in sparkly blue neoprene (how could I live without sparkly neoprene before beats me??...) 

The bikini by Lisa Marie Fernandez, Isabel Marant top, Acne shorts, Celine sunnies.

Bell's Fashion 2nd Birthday!

I cannot believe that it's been 2 years since I started this blog. My textiles teacher in college was always trying to persuade me to start one and then when I had my induction for uni, one of our summer projects was to start one up and that's when Bells Fashion was born. My intentions for this blog were always (and still are) to create an online diary for myself documenting outfits, style development, work (styling/photography) that I can look back on and I also see as a sort of portfolio for possible employers in the industry to get an insight into what you're like, and what your tastes are.

I am so extremely grateful to every single person who reads and supports my blog, you are the best people in the world in my eyes. I can't tell you how much it means to me to read all your lovely comments, I still can't believe 580 of you look at my blog! I've had a really crap time over the last 2 years with several family cancer battles, several losses and battling my own stress-induced illnesses but I honestly believe blogging has helped me get through it. Whenever I've had really down days, there has always miraculously been some amazing opportunity come up from blogging to cheer me right up and without even knowing it, you readers have been there for me more than most people in the real world. So I just wanted to write this very rare, emotional blog post to say a huge THANK YOU!

I feel like my style has developed so much since starting my blog, I've had so many amazing opportunities and met so many amazing, inspiring people from the blogosphere. I love you all <3

ARRIVED!

So, first outfit post from the sunny,warm and evermore beautiful Montenegro.I am so lucky that my darling made it back home at last possible minute...!
 We arrived quite early today so while we waited  for our room to be ready I decided to turn my peasant blouse from H&M (you have seen it in white earlier) into offshoulder top, as I have had those on my mind for a very long time now.But it was a great outfit to travel in as the blouse was so perfectly light and breezy, yet proved to be so convertable when needed.
I promise to keep you updated, and in the meanwhile I'll be trying to soak up so much sun as possible.

I am wearing H&M Trend top, denim shorts by Samsøe&Samsøe and Birkenstocks. The sunnies are new RayBan's and bag is SaintLaurent Paris.

SOME DAYS AGO

Super late on posting!Actually superlate with pretty much everything.But all that aside, I promise I will be a better blogger from now on.

Some time ago we had something in Bergen that can resemble descent summer temperatures and I decided to sport all the punchy pieces I have in my closet. You all know how fond I am of yellow, and it worked so well with the white T/denim skirt combo.I can promise you that you will be seeing my yellow Aquazzuras A LOT this summer.
Anyways, now I packing for a well deserved vacation in warmer climate and I promise a lot of fun snaps! Stay tuned for a proper pics of what I have brought with me.

The gorgeous Lucy, Paige and Shope looking AMAZING <3

My babe Jen <3

Me and my beautiful friend Paige headed up to Shoreditch on Thursday to attend the Gogo Philip Blogger Party. This was our first time in Shoreditch and got a bit lost (as always) but had a mooch around the market and some underground vintage places then finally found the Gogo store. We were warmly greeted by Gogo himself, Olivia from Material PR and the lovely Gogo team. They showed us their new collection using vintage gems which are absolutely gorgeous (I bought a gold chain choker with an emerald coloured stone) which is currently only available in store.

It was lovely to see lots of familiar faces again and I actually had a bit more courage to speak to more of you this time!

A huge thanks to Olivia at Material PR and the Gogo team for inviting me and making it a lovely night! It was lovely to meet all you babely bloggers too <3

NEW TOYS IN

We all know that being emotionally unstable and shopping usually aren't the best combo in the world as it usually ends up in buying things you never-ever use,but this time I don't regret going crazy in the beauty department at all. As I am quite pale and will preferably stay that way (watch your skin ladies!wrinkles aren't nice at any age) I need just a little stroke of bronzing powder. I wasn't sure what to get as all of the compact versions felt so heavy  and way to creamy (which would be ok if I didn't use the foundation in color 'Porcelain') so I gave the bronzing brush a go. No regrets there, as it really gives light contouring and softly sun kissed look in 1-2-3
Gel-top coat from Guerlain a fantastic little thing, the best I have ever used and I also decide to give the chubby sticks a go. Now, I am so addicted that I got it in three different shade.

New on the olfactory departments is Le Labo. Fleur D'Orange, but I have so quickly become a fan of their scents that I also consider getting another called Santal. 

Terracota Bronzing Brush  and Gel TopCoat - both from Guerlain, Clinique ChubbySticks in: Super Strawberry, Mighty Mimosa and Two Tone Tomato.

SAC DU JOUR MINI

My newest obsession, Sac du Jour mini from non other than Saint Laurent. I never use big bags, because I love my hands free when carrying a bag, but I will admit that this one has had me falling head over heels. I spotted it at The Corner Berlin,and than again at KaDeWe. Luckily I couldn't choose between 3 colors (black, grey and aubergine) so I've dropped it...It looks like my indecisiveness has finally served to a greater good....For now at least.
