Start at the beginning. Welcome to the Freedom Experiment, I’m so excited to have you here & connect with you! This is a little introduction to the Freedom Experiment and the philosophy behind all the inspiring posts you will find on this page. A freedom experiment is a project where you put a mini-version of your dream into action. It’s about breaking free from your limiting beliefs, dream big and fly high. It’s about finding freedom from norms, conventions and unwritten rules to enable you to be who you really are. Let me start by telling you a little story about how The Freedom Experiment was born. Exactly one and a half year ago, I started my first Freedom Experiment by moving to England for a year to study photography. But I wasn’t ready to commit to making a permanent shift in my life at that time.
So I decided to make it into an experiment. However, one and a half year later, I have moved back to Oslo and I am continuing with my law degree. And it feels good. Because So, to make your own freedom experiment. In Spaces Between. Travel. I haven't blogged in over a week. Terrible, I know. Forgive me? I went to New York this weekend.

I have a few pictures to get through, but just couldn't wait to post my sneaky snaps from the Alexander McQueen exhibit at The Met. It was... incredible. I'm sorry there aren't more photos, but I was told off so frequently that I was afraid I would be wrestled to the ground for my camera! Custom repaired TOMS. Don’t judge me for the well worn state of my TOMS…they are so comfortable. I’ve been wearing them for a few weeks with a hole in each – right where my big toes hit.
I wasn’t ready to part with them. I’ve been wanting to do a little repair, but it had to be easy and fast. So, I shared the table with a few little people. I don’t have the slightest clue how to sew new fabric on TOMS, but I do know how to spread glue with my fingertip. Supplies: TOMS with holes from your big ole’ big toesSemi-thick fabric that already has a hemmed edge (I used an apron I got for $1.00 at a flea market, I also opted for dark fabric so it stays clean looking longer)Iron-on denim patch (the kind for holes in jeans)Sewing glue (or fabric glue)A really good pair of scissors 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

When H&M asked us to DIY a boho-inspired item for their summer issue, découpage was the first thing that came to mind. Honestly, does it get any better than customizing a simple handbag with a brilliant floral print? However you create it, it’ll be satisfying to know that you’ve designed yourself a one of a kind bag!

Squeeze a dollop of colored craft paint into a small disposable container. Apply a layer of paint to the desired section.

With Earth Day just around the corner, we’re turning to artist and environmentalist Chris Jordan for inspiration. In this large-zoom photograph he has captured 1.14 million brown paper supermarket bags, the number used in the US every hour.
And did you know that 2.7 billion plastic bags are used every day worldwide? Floored by these staggering numbers we were motivated to do a quick and easy DIY, recycling an old t-shirt into a reusable fringed market bag. We hope that it will also inspire you to use less plastic and paper! Lay the t-shirt on a flat surface. Start by cutting off the sleeves, using the seams as a guide. And using a round plate as a guide, cut out a half circle into the neck of the t-shirt. Snip 8 evenly spaced slits along the bottom hem of the t-shirt. Attach a safety pin to the end of one of the strings. You can trim the strings but we like leaving the fringe as is.

Strapless Apparently there aren't a lot of styles that don't work with this type of dress — as long as they aren't too over-the-top and don't interfere with the simple neckline of the dress — but Cole loves the look of classic, undulating waves. "A strapless dress showcases beautiful, sexy shoulders and the collarbone; waxy waves cascading over the shoulders are the ultimate accessory," he says.
Just as you can't really go wrong with a hairstyle for a strapless dress, there aren't many accessories you can't wear, either. "Strapless dresses are suggestive without being trashy," says Rose.

DIY rope bracelet from a J.Crew shopping bag! « sideoats + scribbles. I must confess, I love jcrew so much. I even love the bags! (Hate to throw them away.) Then it hit me: why not make a rope bracelet from the handles? Here’s how I did it in just a few steps. (It took longer to write this up than it did to actually make it!) First, remove the handles from the bag. Braid your bracelet, then use another clothespin to hold it in place. Now for the only tricky bit. Here are some closeups of the knots so that you can see them better. Now to finish it up, take the piece of the handle that you trimmed and knot it around the other end, then remove the clothespin. Then you can tidy up and trim off to even things up. To wear, just slip the big knot into the back. That’s it! I think it’ll go great with all my striped shirts this summer — I have a major stripe obsession going on right now!
