THAT TIME I FELL IN LOVE

Last week we payed The Safe House a visit and I completely fell in love.  After a 10 minutes ride on the subway and a little bus ride, we finally made it to The Safe House, where my heart have never pounded faster. We were warmly greeted by Samsaya ( yes, thats also a reason why my heart pounded so fast, but) and Walter ( their studio dog). The Safe House is Samsaya´s studio A.k.a second home, and we couldn´t felt more at home our selfs. The girl has so much inspiration which just rubs of on everyone around her, not to forget her studio is filled with so many positive vibes, which makes you comeback.   We are going live from The Safe House on our next show!!  so tune into Voxloradio.com Saturday . the 6th og June 4-7pm Norwegian time! ( and yeah, I have no Idea why I made that face either :-)

BROWN GIRLS NEED A TAN TOO!!

SO, this is what I thought all my life :

-brown girls, we dont need tanning, cause eventually we always get that sunkissed bod, (cause in a magical way our pigments will just shoot of the roof, so dont have to think about that !)

 and I ended up doing self-tanning last week. Now here is why I haven´t done anything with my colour : 1st: most of the self-tanning products are never required to half-yellow-brown girls. My orange face back in my teen-days thought me that ( hello first step to “your brown and not a blonde”)   2nd : All those tablets that are advertised on telly, has no ( and I mean it ,NO), brown girl in it!! I mean how am I suppose believe that your product will make me a sun-kissed-godess, and at the same time not give me any crazy non-curable disease, if you don’t even have a brown-girl like me in it?! But after my crazy work hours and no time for sun ( or fun), my half-pale-yellow-skin and I gave up. So, yes, I´ve been trying on some products... dont judge! (Brown girls need to look like summer-godesses too), and after some crazy research I got betakaroten from Good For Me. Good For me is a Norwegian company that supplies they´re own nutritional products which are  Supplements of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals  that can help ensure your daily needs and balancing any losses. they´re betakaroten actually helps the skin to prevent UV-radiation and sun rash along with giving you that  summer-tan. click into : goodforme.no

Girls Night

Waddap Pretty People!! So instead of me going on and on about how much we´re working on our show ( which by the way we be doing, SON! ), we took the afternoon of and went to ses our  girl, Kathrine Nørgård. Kathrine Nørgård is a Norwegian clothing designer who started her own brand in 2010, where she custome- designed and made unique couture dresses, and later suits for Men. This year she started her second clothing line, which is an affordable everyday-luxury clothing line, with dresses suitable as day and evening wear. I´ve known Kathrine since 2011 and beside being an awesome designer, she has been a good friend and mentor. We´ve worked together on many fashion-shoots, and I  wore some of her dresses from her Signature-line at Vixen Blog Awards, and once at Moods Of Norway show in 2012 ( yeah...,I felt brave enough to post an old press-wall picture, #TBT.. ?) . BUT!! today we checked out her second line of Kathrine Nørgård brand, which is slick! Love love love, the garments, and the fitted needlework!! you guys have to check it out, her pop-up store is placed in the brand new Aker Brygge Mall, or click into: kathrinenorgard.com And since my lovable charger decided to strike, the pictures are borrowed from Kathrine Herself!

OUR FIRST VIDEO RELEASES THE 4TH OF JUNE!

Our 17th of May was out of this world! it was a perfect day to let our hair down after our last radio-show the day before. We had good friends behind the dj-booth and rest of them on the same side of the table, all filled with the joy of celebration. We even managed to  “borrow” our friend´s flower-ornament, which ended up at our place the day after, hehe. The 18th may thou, .. felt like we woke-up from the dead, and it was back to reality from there, brainstorming for our next show and  Vlog-videos. We had a final chat with our director and camera-team to be able to shoot towards our deadline, the 4th of June. Everything is happening so fast, and we´re just holding back our excitement for each day. The Summer is just around the corner and we have a lot to discover through the next months with you guys! STAY TUNED!!

NEXT THING FOR THE SISTER ACT

Yeah,,, no, I dont look like this right now, but it was either posting a nice picture of my self, or stand up walk in to my room and put on some foundation. The old picture stayed, oh well.   so yeah, We have now done our third program of The Sister Act, ALREADY!!!( I KNOW) , and even thou Manraj and I still want to do even better shows for each time we are on air, we really appreciate the feedback we´ve recieved so far. We were actually approached by a person who knows media a notch better than us, and we´re asked to do some video´s with The Sister Act , along with the radio as well. Honestly we were a bit surprised of the suggestion we got, but at the same time it took us like seconds to come up with Ideas for our short videos.  so, I guess this is the big news, The Sister Act is soon to be seen in short Videos too. Were bringing more culture, music, fashion and a HUGE dose of corkiness from us :-D  We are working with the shooting and combining dates right now, so stay tuned for the upcoming dates. We will reveal the date on our next radio show,  the 16th of May from 4-7 pm on Voxlo  Radio.

[navikaurd]

We went on Air last Saturday and since then we have just been working towards our next show for The Sister Act. We're trying to improve by every show, so please bare in mind ,that the upcoming one is our second time on air at Voxlo. We're trying hard to start a trend of mixing our two cultures into one, and it's hard, but as the next generation, I hope that those who likes it, will continue listening to or show . For more details click into our site www.voxloradio.com and take a look into our world. In mean while I'm at my sketching spot trying to zone-out and plan even more for our next shows

Behind the Act

So here we are three days before our launch....I’m nervous. 

The more nervous I get, the more I understand how much this means to us. It might look all fun when you hear people just talking on the radio, but its a lot of planning and effort put in to making people like what they hear. We´ve been test-recording every single day to sound as comfortable on air as we do with each other (with work beside it).  When Mandeep and Yasir, the developers and CEO´s of Voxlo, offered me this opportunity, we both agreed on that it was about time Norway got a cosmopolitan radio. When we look at it now, we don´t want it to be just another minority radio or our program to be just another brow-girl program.  The Sister Act is a program about love for art, fashion and music, our colorful city contains. Our city doesn´t have any colour of white, brown or black anymore, and With that we want to inspire our youth with what we can, and shine light on those who keep on making a difference in our aspiring city. Our goal is to attract listeners regardless of their minority or heritage, who shares the same love for music as we do.  And with that I hope you guys support us on our new journey, as we try to spice up your weekends.  - Love N

Voxlo Radio

Oh, I am so glad to finally tell you guys what I have really been working with beside the clubs and booking DJs. Summer 2013 I met some amazing people who aren´t just creative but has the courage to accomplish their dreams. This is Mandeep and Yasir the founders and CEOs of Voxlo Radio. I met Mandeep and Yasir when their radio station just went on air, the vision was to create cosmopolitan station, which could be a portal for both the artists and the listeners of our generation. All thou this is something completely new for Norway, we still believe its time to create a station where we embrace each others culture and our love for music, along with our shared culture of being a Norwegian.  Voxlo Radio has until now just played back to back music, but now I´m thrilled to announce our first breakfast show, which launches the 9th of feb. Hassan Javed is our new breakfast show presenter and I cant wait for you guys to listen! This is one of our many programs which we will launched this year. STAY TUNED AND TUNE INTO VOXLO RADIO THE 9TH OF FEB.

COMFORT-BABY

Between work and booking DJs, I would like to take a moment and present to you, my new comfort-baby. Jupp, Comfort-baby! I had a day off and begged my sister not to let me over buy, on my comfort shopping-spread. She did a good job thou (until she went to work), and I smoothly found my way to Zadig & Voltaire. Well, I didnt exactly over-buy considering it was on sale and I havent been on a shopping-spread for  ages. Nothing is better than a comfort-baby on sale, and it suits perfect for SS15!  Say hello to my Crispy white beauty!

Monday-Press

outfit: Caps by Monki //Coat by Ganni// Leather-pants // College Jersey by Baum Und Pferdgarten ( stolen from sis)  // Tracks by Acne  While most of the people use their Sundays as a preparation for the week, I spend mine doing absolutely nothing, and I love it so much, that I never learn.  Later on I wake-up from my food coma on Mondays, with messy hair, waiting for my coffee to kickstart my sleeping fuse and get to work.

While I was waiting for my sweet-poison to kick in (also known as caffeine), my good friend an photographer Stephen Simmerholm payed a visit to fresh-up our PR-pictures for three of the restaurants at the Mona Lisa House.

Here are some pictures from behind the shoot.

Fashion VS indian

So this is funny and interesting at the same time, my blog ratings just blew up within an hour  after posting my previous post.  This got me thinking, is it because it was  personal? Or because of me writing about the Indian culture box?

Either way, why just write about fashion when I can mix it with the inherited indian spices.  It just feel more like 2015! Psst!  and.. I just got a new tatto Started the year by honoring the woman in my life,  it says mum in Hindi.

The suit dress

So here is the thing, it was at least 30c outside, I tried as hard as I could to find  ( how do I put it.. ) Colour?  But even thou  a red dress is statement and black dress is a saviour; - a black dress with the right amount of neck-line is Sexy. And with hot orange lips it wasn´t much of a discussion <3  I wore this beauty at my good friend George´s Birthday bash.  Dress: Dagmar  Heels  Zara  Belt : Mango

Sequin shorts!

That I love black and white isn´t much of a secret to you guys, and since I newly bought my crispy white reebok classics ( as I said its no secret) I thought why not pair them with a bit of sequined glam.  Blazer: Mango  Crop: Zara  Shorts : H&M  Shoes : Reebok  Bag : Alexander Wang

My addiction!

So every summer I get addicted to either a clothing or an accessory. Last year I couldn´t get enough of my denim pencil- skirt, which is surprisingly still hanging in my closet, this year it has to be the black pouch and the mules ( .. and the boyfriend jeans as you´ve noticed). My sister cant stand the pouch, but its so comfortable (... I apologize the swearing) and it adds the sporty touch in every outfit.  Bomber-jacket: Acne//  Denim-shirt : Zara ( which I stole from my sister :-D )// Trouser: Mango  Same-old-sam-old Mules : Bianco//   Pouch: Monki //
