ARE YOU READY FOR A NEW SMART LUXURY COLLECTION ?


JOIN US BEHIND THE SCENES 


FAB Hippi Grace model Nina 


It has been a little quiet on the blog lately, but we are working hard behind the 'scenes' and we are soon to launch our new collection for the autumn.  This is just to give you a little feeling from our photoshoot in Oslo.

Being a small growing company, we always have to  look for smart and low cost solutions. We wanted to find a unique place in Norway, when planning our photoshoot for Hippi Grace. This took place with a great help from a FAB team ! 

Bogstad Manor was the place - Wow - what a beautiful place for photoshoot ! 
A cultural monument in Oslo, Norway. Bogstad Manor holds a central position in our Norwegian history, both as an industrial estate and as a centre during important periods of our political history. 



 


Peder Anker is the man mostly associated with Bogstad Manor. He was our first Norwegian Prime Minister in Stockholm in 1814 during our union with Sweden (1814-1905) 
Before 1814 we where in a union with Denmark for nearly 450 years. Did you know that Norway is quite a young independent nation ? 



WHAT`S UP - Jack is curious feeling so well dressed and seeing Nina

Our brilliant photographer Lena Saugen in action 


Hippi Grace is meant to be a reflection of how woman wants to dress in our Scandinavian way of living. The majority of woman work and we need to dress a bit more formal, therefore we design our brand with the  Grace look  AND  to enjoy our favourite - the casual, relaxed & cool style -  The Hippi Style. That´s us - Hippi Grace.




With my love for horses I use horses whenever I can. This is Jack, my friends horse, living at Bogstad Gård.
Nina is the perfect Hippi Grace Model





AND OF COURSE THE GRACE LOOK
The Grace look in my friend Heidi´s new car. An awesome black Mini ❤️
    


Thank you Alpaca Society for lending us FAB clothes for the shoot ! We are so much looking forward showing it to all our followers. 

Thank you Nina, Lena, Hedvig, Karin, Heidi and Ingrid for great help and support ! A fab team work. Gracias !!! 

See you soon  ! Thank you for following 💕

HIPPI GRACE GOES TO ISLE OF MULL

A MAGIC ISLAND - ISLE OF MULL 


Leaving for OBAN, Scotland to catch the ferry to the magic island, Isle of Mull. The Island where you can feel the atmosphere of nature, friendly people, beautiful scenery. 


THE ENTRANCE TO ISLE OF MULL WAS MAGIC 





We took the ferry from OBAN, lasting about 3 quarters of an hour in a comfortable ferry. It is just to prebook the tickets on internet for your car + passengers. The island is big so we decided to go to Tobermory on the North end of the Island, since we where short of time.

HIPPI GRACE TRAVEL TIPS - DISCOVER THE BEAUTIFUL SCOTLAND





HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO SCOTLAND ? 


Hippi Grace goes to GLASGOW in the early spring



WITH INSPIRATION TO HARRY POTTER 

GLASGOW UNIVERSITY - ESTABLISHED 1458



What about a visit Glasgow and the West Coast of Scotland, just in time to see the snowflakes starting to bloom. We have both been students in this great city - some time ago. Now we where heading back to where we spent our fabulous student days. At the same time we decided to visit the west coast of Scotland and see one of the beautiful islands - Isle of Mull. 

Here is a travelling tip to a family trip or just a romantic rescue for a couple. We love travelling and finding smart travelling solutions on internet. 

We booked a low price ticket with Ryan Air to Edinburgh. Rented a car and drove to Glasgow. Had booked a flat to rent in the city centre, also at a fairly good price. Going back to Glasgow University - the 4th oldest university in UK, established in 1458. Stratchclyde University with its more modern history. 


IMAGINE THIS EXAME CHAIR WITH THE TIMER ON TOP..


Glasgow offers a great opportunity for shopping. Buchanan street, down to Argyle Street. Along with a number of other places to visit. Museums - art galleries - the Charles Rennie MackIntosh school of art - his house or the MackIntosh tearoom...  



AFTER GLASGOW WE HIT THE ROAD ...TOWARDS 
LOCH LOMOND


HIPPI GRACE TOKYO VISITING THE DROVERS INN


After a few days we hit the road and set off towards to LOCH LOMOND, driving through the beautiful landscape. You have to stop at the old Stone Pub - The Inverarnan Drovers Inn. Where the Norwegian students had some unforgettable parties during our Norwegian Student Weeks... 





Nothing had changed - except for everything getting older. Though hard to discover since the pub opened its doors in 1705 for people travelling up and down the banks of Loch Lomond. A pub that has bore witness to many of the most historic events in Scottish history. The pictures speak for itself - and absolutely worth a visit. 

THE PUB SIGN HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED


YOU CAN FEEL THE HISTORY & GHOSTS

In the old atmosphere you can feel the history, eating delicious food. You can also stay overnight and maybe you will meet some of the ghosts who is visiting. 



IT IS OLD OUTSIDE & INSIDE - WITH IT'S OWN GHOST CAMERA

THE INTERIOR IS EXACTLY WHAT IT HAS  BEEN FOR MANY MANY YEARS 

HIPPI GRACE JUST LOVES HARRIS TWEED

When travelling the perfect combination is the Hippi Grace Tokyo which has the room for papers - documents - camera and extra lenses ++ Then Hippi Grace Barcelona with all the essentials when climbing in and out of the car is perfect. Suits your phone - wallet - keys - passport + some extra beauty details. This you can use as a crossover or just as a clutch. Always hanging on to your body. 








THE Journey continues to Isle of Mull in our next issue of the blog...
