Exploring Oslo: The Outfits
1 June 2015
Aker Brygge, Oslo, Norway
Monday 25th May 2015 - Day One: After arriving on Sunday night, I wanted to hit the ground running on Monday morning with a fay full of non-stop adventuring. The weather was comfortable, despite hitting a little rain later on in the day. The first stop was The Vigeland Park which is also full of sculptures. It was then strolling past Oslo Central Station and Oslo Opera House to spend the sunset in Aker Brygge by the Oslofjord. The day took a lot of travelling which I absolutely loved, as I have never travelling on a tram before, despite visiting Manchester countless times.

Tuesday 26th May 2015 - Day Two: The second day started at 7am at Universitetets Botaniske Hage Tøyenhagen, also known as the Botanical Gardens in Oslo. The clouds were out today so I knew I had to start with my jacket which is reversible, making it extremely easy to add that extra pop of colour to an otherwise basic look. Electric blue is one of my favourite colours, because I think it's the colour that suits me better than most shades. My slip-on shoes were extremely handy for trecking between the gardens, the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, the Royal Palace and Grünerløkka.

Wednesday 27th May 2015 - Day Three: The third and final day was spend at the Holmenkollbakken ski jumping hill which was amazing (don't worry, photos coming soon.) I absolutely loved the views and it really showed how beautiful Oslo can be. The sun made yet another appearance which was great for the last day. Despite the warmer weather, being high up brings a strong breeze so I threw on my oversized check shirt, and original piece from my airport ensemble. The closing day's look was all about comfort as I knew I had a good few hours of sitting down slowly approaching.

Oslo Ready
23 May 2015
Tomorrow evening I will be jetting from Manchester Airport and hitting Oslo around 9pm - no doubt heading straight to bed. I then have a few days to explore the streets of Norway and learn about a breathtaking city along the way. There are so many different places I want to visit, Oslo is just the beginning. My 'One Way Ticket' board on Pinterest is slowly filling with photos of places I have never even heard of (alongside the occasional Eiffel Tower shot) and it only ignites my desire to travel around the world. Trying new food, traditions and even outfits is on my bucket list. And hopefully travelling as much as possible, around my job, will tick a few off those items. I'll be tweeting, pinning and reblogging throughout my trip too!
I'm one of some very frustrating people that leaves packing to the very last minute - which I have done this time round too. Unfortunately, I'm not the best packer, so travelling home should be interesting. But one thing I do love is going somewhere new, just visiting the airport alone is exciting.
The weather in Oslo is s little uncertain, but that doesn't put me off in the slightest. I know I still want to visit every tourist spot, but still find unique areas that will photograph beautifully.
See you in Norway!
Hello Oslo.
22 April 2015
At the end of this month, myself and two of my very good friends will be packing up and heading to Norway for a few days. I don't travel a lot, simply because it would become a financial strain, but I'm so excited to spend a few days exploring Oslo. Since the tickets were booked, I spend a lot of my time just reading through articles about the great events in Norway, as well as looking up things to do to create an itinerary. Pinterest is extremely helpful for images, alongside Tumblr which is where I found all the photos included in this post. Travel DIY and tip videos are my new obsession and quickly filling the Watch Later playlist on YouTube. We chose to go to Oslo for something different, as fun as a beach holiday is, I like to explore and learn about places I would have never considered which made this trip an easy decision. This little trip will tick a few things off my bucket list which seems to be getting longer each day. I can't wait to visit the City of Tigers and share the thousands of photos I'll take with you!
Have you ever been to Oslo/Norway? Where was your last holiday?
