Nature green

2011-07-11T23:09:00.001+02:00

All shades of green. That is how I want my summer to be dressed.

This color...

2011-07-11T22:55:00.000+02:00

2011-06-25T00:20:00.002+02:00

I am always on the hunt for something. If it's not glasses, or bags then its clothes. I am looking for the perfectly shaped dress, 60s inspired, A-formed and a bit without shape so I can feel free in it without having anything hugging my body tight.

Rounder glasses

2011-06-25T00:09:00.001+02:00

I think I want these, now!

Round glasses

2011-06-24T23:43:00.002+02:00

These glasses are perfect. I am on the hunt for a classic Chanel ones but I wouldn't turn Nicole's down.

White

2011-06-08T23:02:00.001+02:00

I love the purity and simplicity of white.

Cat eyes

2011-04-16T23:40:00.003+02:00

I've never learned the art of painting on cat eyes. When I do try it I always think I look weird. If you manage to put it on right, then your makeup is done, you don't need anything else. I know Nicole Richie had some help, nevertheless it looks pretty darn good.

2011-04-07T22:12:00.003+02:00

As I have told myself that it I am done with shopping clothes for an indefinite amount of time, my next buy will be a pair of round-framed sunglasses. And a bag, o where art thou, perfect bag?

From the Row.

One please!

2011-04-06T22:32:00.003+02:00

This guy is perfection. His hair, the shirt, the tiny scarf, the blazer, the wide pantol pants. I'd have him any day. Wouldn't you?

She is one of those women that has caught the attention of the fashion blogger world. Taylor Tomasi Hill's sense of style varies, and I guess that is what intrigues most adorers. She has caught my eye, but I am not in love. Thought maybe you'd like it.

Ann Taylor

2011-04-03T19:21:00.005+02:00

I can't help looking at autumn inspiration since spring seems to be hiding away from Sweden.
Love this, so fresh, so crisp, so "I think I want all of this".

Midi skirts

2011-04-02T23:53:00.003+02:00

Sorry for the lowsy updates, I have been storing and boxing clothes and my entire home cause I am moving. I've decided that I won't be shopping clothes for a long, long time since I have so much of it!! The positive thing is that I then get to really use what I got, so I'll be dusting off my mid length skirts cause you can count on seeing this alot this summer. And for petite girls the midi length is kinder than the maxis, it doesn't make us look quite as short as we really are :-)

Green please

2011-03-23T22:25:00.002+01:00

I have been completely isolated from the news flow today. I just found out. And I don't have words. Two of my favourites, from my favourite film, have now both passed away. All of you who follow the blog know how much I admire Elizabeth Taylor, there will never be anyone like her ever again. The beauty, the star, the legend.

Brown leather skirt

2011-03-21T23:16:00.002+01:00

From out of the blue I am longing for a light brown leather (fake preferably) skirt. It would be perfect to welcome spring in.

Color

2011-03-20T13:00:00.003+01:00

This summer we're mixing bold colors across the palettes. Blue, green, purple, orange, it's your painting, mix and mismatch as you feel like.

Trend alert: Flairs

2011-03-19T19:32:00.002+01:00

The flaired pants and jeans have reached the streets. This spring and summer, they will be everywhere. I am gonna find my many pairs that are stashed deep in the wardrobe and wear them with simple t-s.

New - Madonna

2011-03-18T23:26:00.002+01:00

Young Madonna pictures that haven't been published until now. She is the best, fearless, and always my icon. Love, love her.

Pedicure

2011-03-11T22:49:00.002+01:00

Tomorrow I'll be trying a fish pedicure, appearantly these little fish eat the dead skin that's on your feet. Ok, maybe this was disgusting information, in that case, sorry. But, I am a bit nervous putting my feet to the test!

Head scarf

2011-03-10T19:11:00.003+01:00

When it gets warmer and we don't have to hide under hats and hoodies a scarf can be so pretty to wrap around your hair. Just a simple t-shirt, a pair of jeans and a bright scarf in your favorite color. It's also good for those bad hair days :-)

Pantsuit

2011-03-09T22:36:00.002+01:00

It's been around for a while, and for this spring and summer the pantsuit is back. This pale blue one from Elie Saab is gorgeous.

2011-03-07T22:26:00.004+01:00

Tomorrow is the International Women's Day. So put on your wildest outfit, strutt the streets like it's your personal catwalk and embrace your womanhood! "This is a man's world, but it ain't nothing without a woman in it". And also, it's time we make it a woman's world! Long live sisterhood! And looking fabulous whilst fighting for our rights.

Trend alert: Maxi skirts

2011-03-06T22:26:00.003+01:00

I don't think you've missed the maxi skirt trend. It's everywhere, and worn by all and everyone. From midi to maxi, it's to be found on all catwalks and all high-street stores. I really like Jil Sander's take on it, ballon shaped and with paper-bag waist.

Jil Sander Spring 2011.

Grey Pants

2011-03-05T23:00:00.002+01:00

I know it's spring time but I've got this obsession with finding a pair of high-waisted slim fitted grey trousers. You know, a masculine piece that has been turned into feminine, love it!

I want the perfect bag

2011-03-05T12:35:00.003+01:00

Céline is taking its rightful place on the throne for bag-making. Last year's LUGGAGE line by Phoebe Philo scream luxury and simplicty at the same time. Once you get it, it's a bag for life. Now all I need is to win the lottery.

So many colors to choose from...

Miss Tautou

2011-03-05T00:04:00.003+01:00

Today I got nice compliments twice. The second one said I look like Audrey. Well, don't mind if I do! And the first one, well I'll tell you another time.

If only Britney always could look like this rather than how we've come to see her for the past couple of years. I am just waiting for her to remove those extensions, the bad coloring, the awful ill-fitted clothes and the ugly boots. O, how I wish she could get a complete make-over and rule the pop world again.

Ah, that skirt!

2011-03-03T20:28:00.003+01:00

Ah, that jacket, and ah that bag!

Spring lips

2011-03-03T19:52:00.003+01:00

I am a bit addicted to red lipstick, as my sister says; I can't leave the house without putting the red on. For this spring however I am on my hunt to find a more natural shade, just a hint of color, raspberry tinted lips. And I am also thinking of skipping the lipstick, instead just getting myself a lip pen instead, it has the same function and it saves money and time.

Fendi

2011-03-02T22:42:00.004+01:00

I really like Fendi´s fall collection, it's so conservative, so old-schoolish, the bright colored stockings and the bags are the icing on the cake. A touch of Lagerfeld's geniusness.

Dress n' Go

2011-03-01T22:52:00.002+01:00

This bold dress still manages to look so clean and minimal because the rest is kept simple. I am so into one-pieces, just put it on and be ready to go.

And the Oscar goes to...

2011-02-28T21:33:00.004+01:00

I thought the worn at the Oscars by all the stars were quite uninspiring. Kate Bosworth's Nylon spread however is something else. Love the bohem chicness. Want that necklace.

Looking good

2011-02-27T22:39:00.002+01:00

I can't wait for the summer. Somehow it's so much easier to look stylish when its warm.

Audrey brows

2011-02-27T18:04:00.003+01:00

I am obssessed with Audrey's eyebrows. What has caught my eye is that hers are not arched but go straight instead. It's so bold. I want bold eyebrows.

It's Elizabeth time once in a while in this blog. High waisted pants, no bellybutton showing (hence classy), and the white mini-top. That's my look for this summer, no matter what trends are out there. So there.

One pieces are so easy. Just put it on and you're ready. And one can't go wrong with green. The bag would look priceless with golden details instead, if I can have a say. What you say Longchamp?

Happy New Year

Yes, and it's time to pick out the perfect party dress. I might go for something crazy that could possible turn out to be a disaster and pointed out as fugly, but I mean why not, if ever one night then New Year's would be it. I wouldn't say no to Erin's skirt though.

Back from a trip to Rome. Wanted to share this link of supermodel Paulina Porizkova's reflections on today's bizarre beauty and ageless frenzy. I find her as one of the models with the most intriguing face. And now that I've read her thoughts I like her even more.

Erin Wasson says she wants to style Britney Spears: "I'd love to pull out her hair extensions and fake lashes and get her in her own skin for once—something raw and beautiful. Call me up, Britney."
I so agree, hope B jumps on the offer!

Shoeless feet

2010-04-21T01:14:00.004+02:00

I love shoes that give the impression that you're not wearing any. And these captured by Jak&Jil are amazing. It's the beige strap that does it, and if the upper strap had been in the same tone it would have been perfect.

Vogue

2010-04-18T00:04:00.005+02:00

I love this Vogue Paris cover for May. Are they standing, laying? Gwyneth is beautiful and looks the best, Kate Winslet looks photoshopped to being unrecognizable.

Vintage jewelery

2010-04-05T13:31:00.003+02:00

I got a bracelet and clip earrings when out vintage shopping. I bought them separately but they go so well together. I like the pieces so much because they're in silver and gold, this way they can be used with any other jewelery.

I'm a saint...

2010-04-03T12:46:00.005+02:00

...Is the name of my brand new caramel pink nail polish from H&M.
Today I debuted my spring clothes, took out my brown leather jacket and open toe shoes. Put on my baby purple stockings and let my hair be curly. It's time to reorganize the closets and put away knitted wears.

Welcome spring!

The perfect pose.

A pastely spring

2010-04-01T00:43:00.003+02:00

I came across this Nina Ricci ad for spring 2010 and it's beautiful. The powdery pink and pastels are so calming and inviting.

Short hair

Healing Jewelery

2010-03-30T21:42:00.004+02:00

Did you know that jewelery is good against pain and illness and that it can actually enhance your immune system? Silver, gold, brass, copper, stones like amber, jade, turquoise they all have these protective qualities. So the trend with multiple wear of big chunky necklaces and rings is not just fashionable, it's good for us. I find this fascinating and will now wear my favorite pieces appreciating them even more.

The bag

2010-03-28T23:01:00.003+02:00

I've just realized that a nude colored bag with gold details is just as good as a gray one. Gray, beige, gray, beige, I mean, both will do.

Came home late last night to find that my dear friend in London had sent me some lovely pics. She had run into the amazing Lucyann Barry, an apparent fashionista who does what for a living? Buying and selling vintage Chanel jewelery. Yes, I know. And as the Chanel-lover that I am, I'm posting all the pics for you to see!

Just look at the details of these exquisite pieces. And not to mention Lucyann's bold and personal style, look at her fun shoes. I am so in love.
