OH IT'S A NEW YEAR

And I really would like to celebrate that in this absolutely amazing dress from Diane Von Furstenberg. I cannot say anything else then that this dress would make any night more than fabulous. Thank you Diane for not only making your lovely wraps!

Perfect for a day full of shopping...

If it only were a bit hotter outside this is definitely an outfit perfect for going around looking at the art of the street, clothes. I love flowerprints and I'm so happy the trend will continue this spring too. Flowersprints are so full of versatility, they can be bold, feminine and simply just a bit of spice to an otherwise boring outfit. Perhaps one could match this outfit from a.p.c. with a leatherjacket in order to give it just a little bit more edge. On the other hand, that is what everyone would do, it's no longer very original to combine femininity with a more rock n' roll style..

A question, do you have any great tips on new designers one should look out for?

It doesn't matter if you're black or white...

... Because both colors is always right for fashion. I love wearing black, it really is a color I always feel confident in, no matter what I do or who I'm suppose to meet. Black is THE fashioncolor, just look at al the top fashionistas. A theory of mine is that they wear black for the same reason many of us do, wearing a pair of black pants and a jacket you cannot be wrong. You're always in and being in the public fashioneye that's quite important...
Both outfits are from La Perla's spring collection and I really think you should check it out. Great inspiration for the warmer days I'm dreaming about...

It's springtime... in my mind...

And this summer a complete outfit from Erin Fetherston wouldn't be completely wrong to have hanging in the closet. Fetherston made a collection including things I wouldn't want to wear ever and things I simply adored, like this outfit that is so perfect for an evening i may, sitting together with someone you like having a drink or a glass of lemonade. As always, I'm drawn to the simplicity and the fact that this is so easy to wear. This is what I want to call dressing smart.

Merry Christmas!!!

Here in Sweden we celebrated, and got the lovely gifts, yesterday but since the rest of the world is a bit after (haha..) I thought I'd wish you all a very merry Christmas today. And give you a tip for a movie to watch in the days between all the partying. White Christmas is a musical with Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney and Vera- Ellen. It's a lovely movie, not only for the clothes... The music is perfect for this holiday and even though it's a quite cheesy oldie (from 1954) I really like it in some strange kind of way. Go and rent it because it's so perfect for a day in the sofa to tired of eating to much.

Ps. The picture is of Vera- Ellen. She is famous for playing a lot at Broadway and has done a lot of musicals, starring against legends such as Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly.

It's all coming up now...

Christmas is really close now and all the parties around new year too. That demands new clothing ...or to be precise, I guess non of us really needs a new pair of killer heels or a silky chiffondress, we just want it because it makes us feel good to rip of the pricetag, pull on the new blouse and go out in the night, knowing that we are wearing a new thing that no one has ever seen you in. If I had the money (someday I will win the lottery...) a dress from Elie Saab's spring collection would be high on my purchaselist. In this one, just to take an example from a pretty good collection, you definitely would be in the center of attention. You would be like a little, shining star, sparkling your way through the night. Pretty good for a night full of adventures...

The sales is also coming up and that really is a trap for those with already a wardrobe size XXXL. For me last year was the first time when I did not buy everything nice i saw, just a few pieces followed me home and that felt good! Perhaps we all should think a bit more on nit buying everything, just the stuff we really need. with that said I still think you can buy that wonderful, just amazing dress even if it's too expensive. Just don't do it every time. Once a week is more than enough...

Ps.I so sorry for being a bit absent, but as probably everybody are right now, I have so much to to before Christmas... Will be better after this holiday full of cakes and borecole, promise!

I really need to start exercising...

.
... and then I have to look fashionable. Since I hate all forms of physical (ok, not all forms...) training I must have something that makes me actually want to go to the gym. Hot guys in tracksuits isn't enough. So I have to rely on nice clothes. And hope that a pair of too expensive trousers will make my nonexistence ass look a bit fuller. I hope I'll gain a few pound in muscle too... It's quite irritating to never be asked to help carrying things when someone moves, just because I'm to weak haha..

Ps. The outfit is from Dires Van Noten, the watch from Zodiac and the gloves, as one could guess, from Chanel. The photo is taken for Vogue with another favoritemodel of mine, Hilary Rhoda.

Anyone who would like to give this man a hug?

Ps. This is Evandro Soldati from Ford models, and I must say he does a great job selling that perfume. Which actually smells really good too... a great gift to your boyfriend!

Tomorrow I will look like this. Ok I'll try to...

Acne

Since my camera still isn't working I just have to show you in other ways what I want to wear. This is perhaps the style I like the most. Black and dark blue (my favorite colors... among many) always looks great on everybody. This is from Acne (not the collection with Lanvin) and I love it. Simple but nice, classic but not boring, prefect.

Oh Oh Oh Oh

It takes quite a lot to make a giant cow (bull?) look fashionable but the absolute genial photographer Patrick Demarchelier seems to have no problems what so ever...

This is a shoot for French Vogue with my absolute favorite model Mariacarla Boscona. She is so beautiful!

If I would join the military...

...this is what I would wear. Really nice collection from Chloé for spring!
And when I got home I would work in a very fashionable office, wearing this from Lanvin sp. 09.

I want a change...because it's fun...please help me...

I'm always told not to do anything. I've tried being blond but it just made me look as if I had put my head in a bucket of old, greasy and very yellow paint. I've tried to chop my hair of in a "I want to look like a tomboy" kind of way. It didn't work. I looked to much like a boy, and not a very feminine one... I can't wear red lipstick, I tend to look like a clown. I don't want to loose weight, I hate exercising and I'm not that good at making interesting hairstyles. But still, I want a change in my appearance! I guess you all know the feeling, if one could we probably would change our outside (not speaking about clothes here...) every time we see a lovely haircut on someone else. I always feel this way when I have to much boring to think about (read school and weird relationships).

But why am I writing this here. Well...hm... I don't know. But you all seam like very reasonable, cleaver persons and since everybody in my precence thinks I should stay the way I am, can't you be so nice and suggest something fun that I could do with my looks? I would be very grateful!

Ps. I know I look quite dead on this pic, that's because I am. My mind is to occupied by analysis and Christmaspresents. And not just the presents I want..

ELSA

This woman has made so much for making fashion into the form of art it is today. Elsa Schiaparelli designed at the same time as another icon, Coco Chanel but the difference between those two are quite big to say the least. When Chanel designed easy to wear clothes in soft and comfortable fabrics, Elsa did unusual, almost strange, chocking garments. The colorful buttons, sometimes a bit strange prints (I guess you have seen the famous dress with a lobster...) and new types of accessories were invented by her. She designed chic clothes and were very inspired, and influenced, by people like Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau.

The legacy after her is important, she made fashion into art by adding playfulness to both textures, colors and shapes. She said that anything can work in fashion. And I'm pretty sure that this is something some of our most experimental designers listen to. Just look at John Galliano, Gareth Pugh and Vivianne Westwood...

Today I want to wear this and drink cinnamontea...

From Alexander Wang spring 2009. I love this look. Dot. And nothing more to say.
