norway has style
Oh my goodness. I had no idea there was so much style in Norway. What is going on? Internet is king for hooking us up globally. The world is smaller now? The world is bigger in a way because there is more, more, than I ever thought. You get one comment from Oslo and then an hour later, BAM you are swimming in Norwegian glamor. I mean, who is this Elin King? I'll tell you who she is. She is the style blogger who collaborates with H&M. How does that happen? She designs this dress that makes me CRAZY. You know I have a thing for paintings as outfits, so it is only natural that I love this piece.
Here are the squeegee paintings my co-conspirator and I made the day after discovering this dress. Squeegees are our friends, artists! Who knew? It took this dress and Eric Carle to make us understand this truth. Make some squeegee paintings for an hour and everything will be okay. Sigh.
I don't know what is else is going on in Norway, but thank you Linda-Mari for connecting me with this treasure box full of inspiration. Here is another cool blog I found through hers...
This one is from 5 inch and up. What is this person planning to do? She is such a superhero - or perhaps global warming personified? I ask a lot of questions, I know.

    I love black and white in nature and in clothes. I know you love color, but you have to admit that a black dress in the white snow and black tattoos on pale skin are dramatic and stirring for some reason.

    Someone needs to buy you that painted dress pronto. That painted dress is sad right now because you are not wearing it.

    I agree! The dress would look amazing on you.

    And I love love love your squeegee paintings. Have you ever painted on clothing? I have a feeling the results would be spectacular.

    Agreed: dress + you = amazing. Squeegee sunsets, and sunrises, wow. And how did you get those images on here?! Please invite me over if you find the way of squeegee-painting fabric! Also, I never mentioned before but I always loved the wallpaper here on Clothes Stories.
