Clear skies


Sorry for bad posting the last couple of days, but I’ve had family visiting and wanted to soak up my time with them. Being a “tourist guide” and having to walk countless miles requires a practical outfit and comfortable shoes, so this weekend I’ve let my higher heels rest. Ah oh, we’ve had clear skies in London 2 whole days now, with temperatures still rising, perhaps we’ve finally get our forever-longed-for-summer. Being very optimistic about the latter I wish you all a bright and happy Monday morning!

Knit by YSL, skirt from Asos, sneakers from Ash, bag by Celine, bracelet Cooee and Ray Ban’s.

It’s out!

Vogue Paris August 2012

After a slightly slow summer with inspiration levels dropping along with the heavy rain I’m so ready for a heavy fashion injection, and the arrival of Vogue Paris August issue couldn’t have been better, in stores today, yeah!

Picks

J Brand metallic jeans

Christopher Kane Resort 2013

Acne Resort 2013

Coach Legacy leopard mini cross-over bag

Yesterday I stopped quickly by a press office and had a closer look on a few fall and resort collections and these were among my favorites pieces, metallic jeans by J Brand, a gorgeous printed tracksuit by Christopher Kane, Acne’s shirts and jumpers, and this cute little leopard cross over bag by Coach hitting stores in August.

Uniform

Ok I know, jumper and jeans again, but oh I wish it wasn’t so, I’d rather sport shorts, cute tops and summery dresses in London, wishful thinking these days. Anyway  in order to “lift” what has become my uniform this summer, I jump into a pair of good looking heels, going all over practical would just make this whole Northern Europe weather scenario even more sad.

Yesterday’s outfit, I wore jeans and belt by Isabel Marant, cotton jumper by Topshop Boutique, sandals by Prada, bag Celine and Ray Ban’s

I really like some of Tibi’s fall collection which includes easy, everyday wearable fall looks, prints, soft knits, cute dresses and shiny surfaces. I wouldn’t mind slipping into look number 4 right away……

10 Best Dressed!!!

I’ve received several mails from you lovely readers who wanted to tip me about this list, thank you so much for your excitement and thoughtfulness! Though I’m not very into lists and such I would be insane(!) if I didn’t think it was cool to be on Vogue’s Best Dressed List. Other on the list are Joan Smalls, Lauren Santo Domingo, Anya Ziourova, Lady Gaga, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Rula Jebreal, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Miranda Kerr, such an honour, so thank you so much Vogue!!!

Oki, have to run to welcome family arriving to town, wishing you all a lovely eve!

White Light

Ok, it may be miles away of being as catchy as “Too Funky”, but “White Light” based on George Michael’s near death experience last winter, starring super Kate Moss, really is growing on me, and it isn’t down to the Moss effect though she’s as beautiful as always. Anyway, enjoy the freshly released video!

Pop

I guess you all picked up that one of the themes this fall is comic-con, with James Bond turning 50 and new superhero blockbusters hitting big screens soon the fashion world has been severe infected by pop culture. As for myself I wouldn’t mind any of these leather PVC bags by Phillip Lim, the perfect little fun accessory for fall.

Surrender

Woop woop, how are you guys coping out there in dreadfully wet, chilly and windy England at the moment? Getting dressed for these lower temperatures that comes with a certain rain guarantee in mid July is so not inspiring and it feels like we’re in some sort of limbo. Well I surrender and have booked myself away from London most of August, so heavily needed!

Last week we had one day though with tendencies of clear skies, and I dared to step out in this outfit and left my jacket and umbrella at home, however by 4pm it was pouring down again, what can I say. I wore shirt by Daniel Silver for Acne, Topshop dungarees, shoes Celine, bag by Givenchy, watch Tagheuer, necklace Tiffany’s, bracelet by Cooee and Ray Ban’s.

My corner

Say hello to my corner next to my wardrobe wall with a view to a beautiful garden. Now, when all the basics are in place in my new flat the fun part begins, and I’m constantly looking for cool designed pieces to move in with me, as usual a mix of high and low. I got this chair online at FashionForHome, who stock a whole range of designs without emptying you pocket totally. I fell for the simple sleek 50′s design with a modern twist and it’s super comfy. If interested you’ll find it now on sales here  (£299) and the cushion is by Missoni.

Balenciaga’s fall ads, photographed by Steven Meisel, include my absolute favorite pieces by the fashion house this fall, I know I’m repeating myself but I find all these jumpers and fabrics breathtaking. Also, the other day I got the chance to check out most of the jewellery and shoes in this collection and though some was a little over the top 80′s for my liking there were definitely a few outstanding pieces, the shoes on top please send my way!

Nerdy stuff

Friday, the best day of all weekdays, and I’ve spent it desperately trying to save what was left of my Macbook who’s hard drive all of a sudden crashed earlier this week. Now it all lies in the hands of the helpful geeky fairies who gave me a status score that sounded promising enough to make me cope through this weekend. Lesson learned? New back-up routines starting right now.

Speaking of nerdy stuff I’m totally in love with my new glasses, and as we apparently don’t need sunglasses any longer in London(!), the timing of getting them couldn’t have been better. I wore this outfit earlier this week, jumper from Topshop, jeans by Current/Elliott, shoes Zara, watch by Michael Kors, bracelet Cooee, bag Celine and glasses by Mykita.

Happy Friday eve and stay safe!

Dungarees

Ok, todays budget pick might bring back kindergarden memories, but I’m actually convinced that denim dungarees works, thanks to stylish model Caroline Brasch Nielsen rocking dungarees with leopard, what seems to be her favorite combo, denim + leopard!!! Today the sun’s finally back in London and if I only had this piece  from Topshop in my wardrobe I would have paired it with a white airy shirt by Acne with leopard print and worn it straight away. Happy Thursday noon everyone!

The Telegraph

Got back home late this eve carrying massive bags containing more cushions for my new home, great stuff to buy during sales. Also got the notice that this feature on the Telegraph is up, thank you so much for featuring me!!! If you want to read the whole interview you’ll find it here.

Looks like Asos has some really nice stuff this fall, the cuts and shapes feel spot on and even the fabrics look great, at least by judging images, promising indeed……
