MY HEART GOES POP !

Jeans. The eternal search for the perfect pair, which for my part has only led to eternal suffering in the changing room, and in 90% of the cases me leaving the store emptyhanded- more or less frustrated.

That is until the phenomenon 'boyfriend fit' came and made an entrance on the fashion scene. Now, I am not going to idolize, finding a good pair of jeans is  a tricky buisness, but at least I didn't have to worry too much about how they fitted around my hips.
So, the POP model from ACNE came into my life one day when in Oslo- Sara tried them on.I loved their narrow, almost boyish straight cut around the waist and slightly tapered just-over the ankle fit. They were quirky and odd, and with just enough coolness as they really looked like you have just snatched them out of your bf's closet. Now they also come in all this beautiful colors, I can't seem to decide which one to go for....

STYLE BIBLES of the month

April from The Wilder Things

I discovered April through Nasty Gal's Twitter and her blog is my new obsession! I love April's head to toe print outfits, gorgeously long mermaid hair and inspiringly creative photos. Especially lusting over the eye print outfit on the right ^^^

Paige from My Fashion Paige

You may recognise Paige from one of my Street Style posts and she has since started up her own blog which I suggest you all head on over to for future amazing outfits! Paige is actually one of my close friends who I met working at Topman and I've always been envious of her beautiful wardrobe. We have pretty similar taste in style so I find myself drooling over every outfit post <3

Emily from Millynonymous 

I have so much love for Millynonymous! Every outfit that Emily posts is spot on in terms of wearability, chicness and just overall coolness. I get so excited whenever I see a new post- which is pretty often!

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE

So, with spring ( I am even past resort ) on my mind, dressing for winter, is quite, well - demotivational. I bet a lot of you, fab readers, are there as well. Howeve,r some bright colors and a dash of B&W, and woop here is a bright warm look, for those grey transitional days!
Also,I am so into skinny blue jeans at the moment, I think I have been using them with everything.Here with my fab pair from JBrand. Oldie, but goodie!

Coat from Vanessa Bruno Athe´, Acne sweater, Marc by Marc Jacobs purse and Thakoon heels

Street Style: 30.1.13

Just a couple of photos of these lovely girls I found wandering the laines in Brighton. It turned out to be a gorgeous, sunny day which is perfect for mooching around the quirky laines.

I wasn't feeling the full outfit photo of me today as I look like a zombie (haven't been able to eat properly which is draining the hell outta me) but check out this amazing graffiti showing a cute little map of Brighton.

Love, love,love this photo by Tommy!What fell into liking is the clear contrast in it, the fresh royal blue and strict grey, the contrast between the fresh and the masculine and the ultimate contrast of what's in now opposite to the timeless. It's seriously a photo that has captured it all for me, actually one of my fav street photos of all time. And the styling?? Sublime!

LET'S TALK DETOX!

So, this is pretty much what is my fridge!
My annually post-Holiday detox has started some time ago and will be in full swing until the end of FW. It's not a diet, but my body seriously needs a cleanse. However, the problem is my darling who lives with me is a  gourmand, and even my finest Caesar salad looks like a dogfood compered to his homemade fresh burger and fries. I mean it  kind of got  demotivating.
  Which at the end got me thinking: is  my annual cleanse is  just a joke as I am constantly lusting for a good Club Sandwich, or basil and tomato muffins?Or is it a healthy way of eating that instead of cleanse should be more an all- year menu?

What do you my dear readers, should we detox or are we just fooling ourselves?

10 SPOONS OF WISHFUL THINKING

OK, spring is on my mind and I am completely ignoring the fact that the temperature has just crawled a little bit over 0.However my mind is set on upcoming FW and Paris and all the SS13. So, if I could wear anything right now, this would be it!

Is it to early to write to Santa again??

What would you currently love to wear?

CROPPED

I love brunches, especially the ones on Sunday as I don't have to feel like there is still tons of things to do afterwards. Also, I can think over what I wear slightly more, that the usual on the run outfits.

I have adjusted this little Alexander Wang number of a turtleneck , so it fits some inches over the bellybutton and paired it with a highwaisted leather skirt. Some simple accessories and metal details and woop, one is ready to go!

Have a great Sunday darlings!

I am wearing Alexander Wang turtleneck, leather skirt by Toposhop , by Malene Birger purse and Georg Jensen watch.

THANK YOU!

Such a great honor to be featured in in 'Best of the year' column in VOGUE US!
Thank you!

CHUNKY KNITS

No matter how hard I try to ignore the fact that the wonderful springcollections are arriving in stores m they there are reminding me that the spring so, so far away! Not that I need a bigger reminder than the icy wind and snow, that is currently going on. But I am not wining as I have this lovely knit to wrap myself in! Or weel, actually I got it for my love, but I ended up wearing it.
Nevermind it really is one of the most delightful things I have worn. I paired it just casually with a all black attire, just to make it pop little extra.
P.S I finnaly got hold of that Vogue I was talking about some time earlier, I can't wait to show you!

I am wearing Ch's jacket, Dolce&Gabbana sweater, Diesel jeans and TheManual&Co purse, the boots are from Acne.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME SMILE

To be quite honest my week has been kind of cr**p , however DHL ringing the doorbell 

 with this lovely things in beautiful packing has definitely made my day at least.
It kind of a reminded me why I started all of this,s at the end lace ups and perfect little clutches can make me smile endlessly.
I love the mix of clean lines of my new Valentino and the crazy reptile pattern of the heels I have been drooling over for a while now- lace ups by Aquazzura.

Feeling like a luckiest girl in th world!

GOOD CLASSICS THAT KEEP YOU WARM

 I think that as at the most places on the Northern hemisphere we are all currently freezing (the cold masses from Sibir?).
Which is,  a big time challenge, if you are trying to stay somewhat looking descent as opposed to looking like a polar bear.So, while my attire looks quite  early- springish I assure you that I have using something that is supposed to be a jacket ,as a cardigan can get you long way, especially if you layer it with winter coat.
Now, that my dear readers, is a whole other level of warm.

Suddenly my decision to buy a pair of Aquazzura lace ups, doesn't seem as wise as when I strategically explained to my bf why I need a pair of sandals for the FW in February...

Jacket by Isabel Marant Etoile, Shirt by Celine, leather pants by Malene Birger and wristwatch from Georg Jensen. And yes I am drinking Pukka tea from it's beautifully made cup.

Boots are Thakoon and my cutebag is from The Manual&co

Faux Mongolian Coat/Jumper/Shoes- Urban Outfitters, Leather trousers- Topshop & DIY, Rucksack- ASOS 

First of all, can you believe what happened to my shoe?! I only bought them last week from Urban Outfitters for £10 in the sale and this was the second time I wore them and they decided to break whilst at Uni today which was slightly embarassing. No wonder they were so damn cheap.

I recently saw some leather trousers on Wasteland with slits in the knees which I really wanted but to save the money thought I could customise some I already have by cutting them myself. All I did was turn them inside out, put them on and drew with white pencil where I wanted the slits then cut them out whilst inside out and voilá! 

Sooo happy to tell you all that I have an internship ready for April at LOOK magazine for four weeks which I am extremely excited for :) Just hunting for another one for the rest of the work placement period which is another four weeks!

WINTER INSPO

Photocourtesy of Jak&Jil

Despite all the lovely coats I have in tons and buckets I wouldn't mind a colorful winter parka from Burberry Prorsum...

PURE COOLNESS

Coolness in it's  purest form with 10 spoons of perfection. I love Daria and the way her UpperEast side curls work with slouchy Celine silhouette.
If there is one item I will invest in this summer it will be the top in the downrigh corner.

And did I tell you that those fluffy flats will be an instant hit when realised?

19012013

My everyday has been quite hectic lately, as all of my weekends have gone in editing and shooting for a couple of magazines. However, after shooting for the spring issues, it has been more than delightful to jump into oversized sweater and coat, that reflect current temperatures.
Once again, it has been lovely visiting sales and planing outfits for the upcoming FW, as my mind is completely turned towards the eponymous fashion month.
But, for now I am just keeping it cozy and warm.

I am wearing H&M coat (mens), vintage sweater, my old JBrand jeans, by Malene BIrger purse and Isabel Marant heels.

LATELY

I have been running on and of from work and between shoots (and my ridiculously stiff neck giving me headaches) I have been wearing a lot of flats and relaxed combos. My favorite is all denim attire, paired with lizard flats and just coat loosely hanging from my shoulders.
It has been more like a second uniform lately, here pictured with a coffe to go and on the run or a meeting.

Denim by ACNE, vintage shirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Isabel Marant Etoile coat and by Malene Birger purse.

ALL THE PRETTY SHADES

So, Chanel is out with new naillacquer shades (like every season) and my definite favorite is a perfect shade of neon pink witch really sets the mood for the upcoming season.

I have found it almost impossible to find a good shade of pink (actually the one that suits my ugly, red man hands..) and this one with blue-ish tones can just be it.

Wandering if it will cause fracas in the beauty department?

THE GREAT WHITE

I have been searching for a white crossbody/clutch/purse/something for ages now.

My perfect great white comes from Valentino and  it's on it's way!

I just love the clean shape, yet the fact that it is quite detailed.

It is a perfect spring addition to my wardrobe! Can't wait for mailman to ring on the door. ;)

Purse by Valentino

Jacket- Nasty Gal, Shirt- Vintage, Jeans- Topshop, Shoes- Office

I'm afraid my trip to London yesterday was unsuccessful in terms of Street Style photos. There was no one around Somerset House, then by the time I got into Oxford Street it was dark :( So instead you have my squinty face and my all time favourite shaggy jacket!

I visited the Tim Walker and Valentino Exhibitions at Somerset House which were both very impressive! We then went on to Oxford street where I bought a pair of Deena & Ozzy Shoes for £9 in Urban Outfitters sale- ultimate bargain!

Gonna be making more trips to London in the near future to try and get used to it before I start interning as the tube system absolutely terrifies me :/

MANICALLY TRENDY

So, so so!
Every season comes some kind of trend that manically spreads among the fashion crowd (Kenzo and Balenciaga sweaters, Balenciaga tiger skirt, statement jewelry ). Something that makes street  photographers go wild, yet it takes so much of that nobody wants to see that particular trend or item ever again.
Although, I have a certain feel to know what it will be for the upcoming SS(contrast and monochrome, I bet every blogger has a striped shirt by now), I couldn't resist the unique mix of monochrome trend paired with tropical flowers printed on neoprene(or something down that lane) that came in a form of a Balmain sweater.

I remember saying to Ch when it arrived first on Net-a-porter that it will be sold out in a matters of few hours(despite the bada** sale going on) ...and it did!I also remember swearing like a streetboy for not buying it too.
Anyways,( thanks to the lovely Net-a-porter customer service )the sweater is now mine and I don't regret a bit for buying it. I actually loved it so much that I decided to sport it during a dinner with my love, despite the fact that it is freezing in Bergen.I paired it with simple jeans and pointy pumps, just to enhance that wonderful print.

Well, you only live once.

Sweater is by Balmain, jeans are Diesel, Louboutin pumps and Marc Jacobs bag

LAST MINUTTE INN!

My latest sales bargain from wonderful Matches.

These beauties from Tabitha Simmon have just made it in my shoedrobe and have (under 24 h) become a favorite pair I own. 

Them, and many other lovely things can be found HERE!

GIVENCHY PRE FALL

Photo courtesy of Style.com

I love the fact that I am both inspired and surprised at the same time, just as I thought that we have seen it all. Riccardo Tisci is a pure genius who knows very well what a girl likes. His Prefall is a perfect combination of street and runway with unexpected prints and materials.
A collection that is just pure perfection,no other words needed!

Shirt- Charity Shop, Leggings- ASOS, Shoes-Office

So me and my housemates thought we would make a change from our usual blog photo scenery and stopped off by a field full of cows thinking it would be a lovely backdrop only to look back through the photos later and see that I am surrounded by cow poo and mud. Nevermind though, it's the thought that counts right?

My mum bought this interesting shirt from the charity shop the other day and I knew I wanted to pair it with something else monochrome so thought these leggings were the perfect match. I spent today at uni for an editorial meeting for our magazine and then at home applying for internships which seems to be how most of my days are acting out lately!

Off to London on Thursday for several exhibitions and am hoping to find some amazing Street Style talent to photograph so keep your eyes peeled over the weekend!

Fluffy High Neck Top, Trousers & Belt- Charity Shop, Shaggy Cardigan- River Island, Shoes- Office

Just looking at this photo makes me really tired as my under eye bags are ridonculous! I had gone out the night before to a club called Funfair in Brighton for my Brother's secret engagement party and basically spent the whole of yesterday in bed suffering. Anyway, this is what I wore out last night for a yummy Italian meal with my housemates.

My lovely best friend gave me this cardigan after I told her I wanted a jacket like my fluffy cushions in my bedroom and I'm surprised I haven't posted it before as I wear it all the time. 

In other news, I've given myself a heat ban on my hair to try and help it grow and so far have gone over 2 weeks without a hairdryer or straighteners and I'm gonna continue for the rest of the month and maybe longer after that.

Getting a bit nervous about internships now as two of my housemates have already got interviews and I haven't heard anything yet :(

IN THE MOOD FOR

Sometime ago I was asked what is my 'go to' outfit when I am felling like, well, moody. And to be quite honest my resort is actually a good PJ the whole day, one has to go out eventually. So, my fav combo is as simple as you can see : a pair of skinny jeans, a shirt (preferably oversized but any one from Celine also does the trick) and pair of pointy pumps.It never fails as it, in an instant. gives me that french chic nonchalant feel, which I feel quite comfy in.

I nam wearing Isabel Marant coat, Celine shirt, Diesel jeans, Louboutin pumps, Balenciaga clutch and what u see hidden in my hand is a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarer
