My favorite looks at Altewai Saome fw2012. It seems they've taken a serious step back to very wearable and further away from the highly handcrafted ss2012. It kind of feels a bit too close to other swedish brands or what do you think?

2012-01-30T13:42:00.000-08:00

Winter tones in B Magazine editorial. Brown is making a great comeback into my imaginary wardrobe that inspires my real wardrobe (do you do this too??) The browns shown here work well with pastels that are a definate spring-favorite. I'm loving the adidas 3-stripe slippers!!

The Christopher Kane dress (with extra collar) Chloë Sevigny is wearing in interview on S Moda magazine is absolutely divine!

I'm flying to Thailand tomorrow, Koh Lanta and a pile of books are waiting! I'll be on holiday for 2 weeks, but have posts scheduled for you. meanwhile if you hear about miu miu glitter pumps (size 38/38.5 in gold / black / silver) please let me know!

2012-01-02T13:33:00.000-08:00

I found these vintage flower earrings at Ansa, a second hand / vintage store around the corner from my house on the weekend. One of my new years resolutions (on top of the regular 'eat better's and 'exercise more's) is to take more time to find pieces like these!

2012-01-02T13:01:00.000-08:00

PRADA baby! Flower lace, pleat and high waists. Satin tube tops and embellished boxy satin jackets. Earrings to die for. Miuccia Prada's la dolce vita suits well with me.

2011-12-28T09:16:00.000-08:00

my late love! i've been desperately trying to find these shoes with no luck so far. let me know if you've seen any! AND there's still time to give your VOTE for YOU FEELIN IT! We could easily still make it to the TOP5! Click the purple button next to YOU FEELIN IT and that's it - two clicks. X

I wonder if there are pastels for fabrics? The xmas break would be perfect for some DIY like this!

dries hasn't stopped being awesome. the best bits of beautiful spring 2012. i've been looking for a dropped waist dress (like in the pictures 3 & 4) but haven't found the perfect one.. perhaps i'll need to wait for these to hit the stores. something super bright would pop up from my mostly dark wardrobe though. if you run into any, please let me know!

SHOUROUK is one of my favorite jewellery brands along with iosselliani, the two are kind of like siblings and i love them both equally. colors, mixed stones, animals and fun.

2011-11-20T07:30:00.000-08:00

1. this is ZX 500. it's part of adidas consortium collection, and in my opinion the perfect trainer.

2. this is skye. part of the great acne x daniel silver collaboration. another favorite piece of the collection was the genious white shirt with a leopard printed part on front (not surprisingly sold out).

2011-11-17T12:18:00.000-08:00

as i'm still not posting decent outfit posts here's my latest love: versace for h&m skirt worn back on front - the croco's are fantastic!

hey guys and sorry for slowing down on posting. i’ve been super busy in the illustration world and lacking inspiration (common thing for me in fall). luckily every once in a while you bump into something impossible to bypass like the Stacks by Man Yau - a breathtakingly beautiful set of glass objects.

“The shape of Stacks is close to the idiom of a lamp but that is only one of the multiple purposes of using it. Stacks os as versatile as any convex object; put a light bulb inside and it’s a lamp, put some M&M candy inside and it’s a candy jar or you can put flowers inside and it’s a beautiful vase.” (manyau.fi/spin-man-layout-PROJECT.html)

2011-08-29T12:12:00.000-07:00

i love these acne wedges! the remind me of dali's surrealism (like 'the enigma of desire' below) and look more like a design/art object rather than a pair of shoes.

the following pictures of dries van noten AW11 details are from LN-CC fb page.

2011-08-03T21:31:00.000-07:00

good morning! here's my interpretation on the givenchy 2011 cap-look. no ears, no rabbit fur as the original but 100% wool and navy blue (that's something non-black for winter, hooray). the hat is from monki, feels like the best 18 euros i ever spent! glasses are vintage buddy hollies.

what i wore today. see how i'm making an effort with the clutch on the 2nd pic?... whew, looks prettyyy rough. anyway the king cobra clutch was a found in bali and the shirt / dress is an old mens shirt i thought works better without sleeves.

DID YOU KNOW THIS: humberto leon and carol lim (of opening ceremony) are the new creative directors of kenzo!? i only read about this now as i'm catching up with normal life / news after 3 weeks of bliss called holiday and I mean WOW. can't wait to see their first kenzo collection in september and hear more about the new design team presumably hired.

anyway here's my favorite editorial of the moment: vogue russia with alana zimmer. ph ben toms styled by the one and only katie shillingford.

2011-07-06T22:16:00.000-07:00

what do you think makes this italian's outfit? i'd say it's the skirt. why? the material is nothing fine, looks like sweatshirt cotton right? for me it brings just the right amount of contrast.

i'm flying to singapore tonight. my first time there, how exciting! if you have good tips where find beautiful silk kimonos in chinatown, let me know! from singapore i'll head to bali for week and a half of relaxing with pool, books, ipod and ipad (and hopefully some doplhins!).

2011-07-03T13:51:00.000-07:00

i'm loving the come back of the trousers + skirt combo (done right) by acne in their resort '12 collection. light flowing trousers under and structured skirt out of a tougher material on top.

samuji fall winter show on last wednesday was so natural and well thought that it felt like this is the way things just happen when nice people come together to see a set of beautiful clothes, enjoy rhubarb drinks and the first warm days of the spring. apparantly there is a meatpacking district in helsinki as well - the venue was a finding of one of the best chefs (my opinion) in the city, antto melasniemi a mind behind the hel yes concept done in london and helsinki last winter.

here's my pictures from the show. i'll do another post about some details from the backstage later.
