Red for summer <3

I hope everyone enjoys these summer days, and nights as much as I do. It has been heat-wave days here in Oslo, Norway. Almost too hot to wear anything else than a bikini outside! This week it supposes to cool down a little, which is great. Even tho I am pretty used to the heat, after living in both Florida and California, it is quite different, as people in Norway don’t have airconditioning. I got myself a fan and taking hot showers in between. Grateful for the beautiful weather tho! I love to be able to swim in the ocean every day and do outdoor activities.




Wish you all a good start of the new week. I’m heading to South Norway this week can’t wait for some real quality time with some of my fave peeps!



Adding with some pictures of one of my latest favorites in my wardrobe. I’m obsessed with this red color on tanned skin, love to style it with a mix of gold jewelry for a simple everyday look, or over a fancier dress for a night out.

Last weeks highlights

Love these summer days in Oslo, everyone gets so spontaneous and adventurous. It’s easy to be social and people seem to really enjoy the good weather. My week started off a bit slow with home office work, from Wednesday early am to Thursday late night I worked on a shoot with a big team at a beautiful place just an hour away from Oslo, called Kleivstova. It was really long days, and super hot, especially because we were shooting winter clothes, with heavy boots and warm gear, but we all kept each other motivated and people were in such a good mood. If anyone visits Oslo and wanna see some beautiful landscape, close to the city, I recommend checking out this hotel. The food was great too, and the staff was super friendly. They made sure we had food at all times, even tho the vegan options wase’t the best.




The rest of the week has been packed with meetings and things to catch up on. Been going to the beach and boating after work hours for a swim, taking advantage of being a freelancer, and having the privilege to schedule my own days!
Saturday night I had some friends over for some drinks at my place, before we headed together to one of my old friend’s event at ‘‘Taket paå Steen og Strøm’’. Such good music and awesome vibes. So much fun catching up with old friends again, and as everything closes super early we decided to hang out at a friend’s place at Bygdøy for an after-party. Stayed up all night and some people even went for a midnight swim. That’s really the best thing about Scandinavian summer, it never gets dark. Really mindfuck, as your brain never wants to go to sleep.




Wish you all a great week.




Best, Eline S.

Milan guide. part 2.

Fancy brunch - God save the food



This if one of the fancier and more pricy brunch places in Milan. They have 3 different locations around in Milan and I do recommend the book your brunch table in advance as this place usually is full. The food was great, and the portions were in a good size too. I would love to go back here in the future for sure.

The big question is where to eat healthy in Milano, the city of pizza and pasta. A few friends have asked me for healthy recommendations. Personally, I don’t come to Italy to be healthy or on a diet, but there are a few healthy spots I can recommend that have really healthy options for those who prefer that.



Wegamama - More like a sushi place with tons of healthy options and good bowls.


Juice bar cafe (Duomo) - colorful bowls, juices etc, vegans options too.


Temakinho - One of Milan's new hotspots. This is a super fancy sushi place with amazing bowls, as well as rolls. The interior inside is pink and tropic. Cool spot to check out, very close to Corso Como/ Garibaldi.


California Bakery - They are located with multiple locations around Milan. They serve breakfast, brunch, and lunch with a Californian inspiration.

Rosa & Co


Are you a fan of poke bowls, you better check out this cute spot. The interior from the doorstep to the ceiling is all pink and they serve great drinks too.
\They are located in Corso Giuseppe, Garibaldi.

Starbucks Reserve - Great coffee



For the coffee lovers, I do recommend checking out one of the Starbucks reserve cafes in Milan. Starbucks Reserve is an upscale version of the normal Starbucks. They recently opened one in NYC too, in the Meatpacking district, right next to our old place. Its always packed there, probably since its the only one in NYC.
Their coffee is great and their pastries too. Perfect to enjoy a little coffee in-between sightseeing. We went back 3 times during our stay, much better than normal Starbucks coffee.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Italy’s oldest active shopping mall. The galleria is always packed with tourists. For fewer people, I suggest to go earlier in the morning and not at the weekend.
The galleria also has restaurants, so for those who just want to people-watch and have a snack that is also an option. We found a cute ice cream place on one of the corners inside and just walked around for a little.

Porta Genova



Porta Genova is like Brooklyn in NYC or Grunerlokka in Oslo. The area has become super popular in the last 5 years, a lot of students, artists etc live here.
The famous Navigli canal is located in the heart of porta Genova surrounded by cafes and restaurants. No matter what time of year, there is always a great vibe in this area, especially around aperitivo hours, when the Italiens get together after work to have their daily glass of wine.

Tenoha Milano



A lot of people would probably think its weird to eat Asian fusion in the city of pasta and pizza. But after several days with a full carb diet, we felt like eating a lighter meal. Tenoha is a newer Asian fusion restaurant located in Porta Genova, really close to the subway station. We combined the restaurant visit with sightseeing and shopping in Porta Genova. Both food and service were good. We had warm bowls with seafood and noodles, delish!

Papilla



Last but not least: Papilla just opened in Porta Genova, and recently got rated to Milan’s new nr one pizza. The spot is super cute and created by an italien family. Everything is brand new inside. Those who know me well, know I don’t eat pizza really often. This time it was defiantly worth it. Super thin, crispy crust with soft mozzarella cheese and salty ham. Yep, Italiens know how to make their pizza right!

Hope you all had a great week and got inspired to try something new if you are planning on visiting Milan. You can find the guide part 1 under Travel.



All best, Eline S.
