The perfect scarf

Hermès ads are hard to beat. This makes me wanna wrap myself in a big silky scarf from head to toe.

Red carpet dresses

I simply love, love, love Elie Saab, he just never makes it wrong with his luxurious and glamorous gowns. Now imagine wearing these dresses when cleaning the house, doing the dishes...ok maybe not. But why don't the big stars ever wear beautiful pieces like these on the red carpet?

The color green...

...Is just about everywhere. A good color with lots of different shades to choose from to match you, and that suits both gals and boys, and all weathers and seasons. C'est parfait.

The trends of summer

My summary of the spring/summer trends of 2010. There are four major trends that we will see everywhere as soon as the sky clears. Patterns, flowers, stripes and dots. Mark my words. Or look for yourselves, Marni has managed to mix the four trends into one.

Stripes.

Lacoste.

Flower power.

Derek Lam.

Patterns.

Anna Sui.

Dots.

Azzaro.

The big cats' fight!

Giorgio Armani has sent out a statement saying that his Armani Prive couture show has been changed in timetable because of quote “unexpected and unjustifiable” time change by no one else than Christian Dior. Armani calls Dior's move “indicative of a lack of respect for other people’s time and labor.” What will the respond be?


Armani Prive vs. Christian Dior.

A love affair with dots

If I'm gonna get one single new piece this spring it will be a dotted blouse for sure. Dots are classy and timeless, mais non?

I'm an Oscar girl

Oscar de la Renta is one of my top favorite designers. His Spring 2010 collection has a few pieces that stand out so much your eyes will hurt. It's so rich in colors, the mix of all kinds of fabrics, the combination of colors, how about green and orange and a little peach? The big chunky golden necklaces.

It almost feels like swearing in church when I pull out these spring/summer pieces in the middle of the freezing Stockholm winter, but hey that's what you do in fashion, look ahead, and yearn.


The green skirt and the mix of boho-chic and romantic.

This dress is breathtaking, elegance personified. And that necklace!

I wouldn't want the silver shoes though.

Muse

Actress Jessica Biel seems to have caught the special eye of fashion world's own queen Vogue's editor Anne Wintour. Editor Wintour wishes to see Biel play a larger role in the fashion world. Wintour says "She symbolized everything American fashion stands for: health, beauty, fitness, and grace. She'd make a great partner for any designer."

Hm, interesting. I've never considered Biel as anyone remotely connected to fashion. Let's see which designer will hop on this train.

Eye candy

New jewelery have found their way in to my jewelery box. Clip on earrings are my favorite right now, and so hot!


Brown and golden clip on earrings.


Orange and golden clip on earrings.


My new yellow chandelier earrings will go well with my old ring.

The perfect white

The chase after the perfect white blouse/shirt is never ending. The stack just continues to grow in this pursuit of mine. Wouldn't mind this creamy Bill Blass piece one bit. And guess what? It's backless!

Blue jacket and red bow

...Is all you need.

What I want is...

...A backless dress. Yes, they've been around for a while, but I hope this model on dresses to come even more. The back is the new cleavage.

Come summer, come

Christian Cota makes me want summer now, how about these two lovely pieces?



Christian Cota Spring 2010 ready-to-wear.

Graceful

Grace Kelly and her husband the King of Monaco. And of course what came to be named the famous Hermès Kelly bag.

Let's get dirty

Jamie Dornan is back (!) all oily and dirty for Calvin Klein Jeans Spring 2010 ad campaign. O yes, so is Eva Mendez. Don't really know about the jeans though, all bleached and whitened.

No doubt about it

One of the most colorful pop bands we have. Gwen is dedicated a whole chapter of her own, of course.

Of shorts!

Hottest item of the summer we are anticipating? Shorts of course. Disguised like skirts, diaper shaped, in all materials and colors.


Chris Benz.

Marc by Marc Jacobs.


Dolce & Gabbana.

Rochas.

Karl Lagerfeld.

Forever chic

The regular tribute to Sophia Loren. I get tempted to use all my silk scarves and wrap them around my hair as soon as the sun is out again, in about 5 months.

Splash of colors

Still on the topic of colors, these lovely and flowy pieces from Opening Ceremony make you wanna wish for summer to come today.

Rainbow paint your toes

Opening Ceremony Spring 2010.

There is something about that black...

Color is great. But it's not easy not being a sucker for black. Beautiful, luxurious and strong.



Jean-Pierre Braganza.

Must have

Am so gonna get myself a black and white patterned item this spring. Look out for it cause it's steaming hot ;-
