shot by a legend

i was was sent a link today to ny times' videos, this particular one shot by bill cunningham aka the legendary street style photographer, who started it all (read more about him here). and there it was me in paris wearing acute case dress and thrifted coat almost freezing to death in tuileries.



see the full coverage from paris at http://global.nytimes.com/ then see videos on the bottom of the site.

head over heels

i found this picture of the most amazing piece of fashion i've seen for some time. you know that something screaming at you when at the same time your brain starts singing hallelujah - to me it was this dress(?). and it's been a while after my last love affair. this is what fashion is at it's best. for others it's seeing modern art, or a new model of audi (i guess there's that kind of people too, only guessing here) or a new song. for me it's only fashion.

a bit of paris

whew. i feel like i've been flown around for over a week with he stockholm trip and a busy week at the office and finally paris. however i didn't really feel the fact i had slept around 5 hours a night but was taken into the paris state of mind.

friday - on a plane with helsinki10 and asuna buyers which is 40 minutes late. i have too much hand luggage but somehow make it to the plane without a hassle. viva la moi! land on paris, take a taxi to my hotel in marais, change and try to put on some make up in 7 minutes. out the door, to the taxi and a surface to air party. hassle at the door. not getting in. after there's been two persons from inside telling the doorlady to let me in i finally walk in. inside there's no music as the soundsystem's died a moment ago, very weird without music. i'm half way my first drink and people are starting to leave the party so we decide to go as well. we take a taxi to le baron which is full as always on fashion week (ok honestly i've been there once before, last season, but you trust me on this, right?). minutes pass and i'm handed my new favorite drink, vodka + champagne + raspberry puré. could a fashion week start any better?

story hotel - stockholm

i hardly ever recommend things and this might be extremely stupid as now YOU ALL will conquer the story hotel for good. oh and i paid the full price, so i'll be honest. so about the hotel - great interior design by koncept whose other clients include acne and riche (great food btw), illustrations on each room (mine included a piece by liselotte watkins) and kiehl's in bathroom (always a good one). go and see for yourself, it's magnificent.




p.s first night i bumped into pia who also stayed at the hotel and shared my love for the hotel.
