Peplums

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Photo: Private

The peplums trend this spring is one of my favorites this upcoming season. As many other sculptural and volum shapes it’s unfortunately hard to pull off, but when someone manages to pull it off it looks awesome. I spotted this nice black and white striped one at Lindex the other day. It would simply look cool with a pair of black leather slim fit trousers, for example.

Peplum-trenden (altså et ekstra kort, rysjete skjørt på plagg som ligger rundt midjen) denne våren er en av mine favoritter for den kommende sesongen. Som mange andre skulpturelle og volumiøse fasonger er den dessverre vanskelig å “pulle off”, men når noen virkelig får det til så ser det herlig feminint og kult ut. Fikk øye på den fine svart og hvit stripete toppen på Lindex her om dagen. Den ville rett og slett gjort seg bra sammen et par svarte slimfit lærbukser for eksempel.

Color Pop

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

I’m really looking forward to a new season filled with bold and popping colors, along with variations of pastels in mint green and baby pink. Yummy! The colors are perfect to team up with neutrals in all shades. Personally I’m craving especially for the Diego Bucket bag in citrus yellow and the distressed leather heels in cobalt blue, both by Alexander Wang. What’s your favorite flavour?

Jeg ser virkelig frem til en ny sesong fylt med sterke og øyefallende farver, helst i variasjon med pasteller i form av mintgrønn og babyrosa. Nam! Fargene er perfekte å kombinere med nøytrale farger i alle varianter. Personlig lengter jeg spesielt etter Diego Bucket-vesken i sitrongul og de pregede lærpumpsene i kobalt blå, begge fra Alexander Wang. Hvilken er din favoritt?

The Smell of YSL

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

This is what I call the smell of YSL. Mmm. Muse Two bag, Tribtoo pumps and other yummy fashion snacks. Wouldn’t mind smelling (and touching!) any of these items under the Christmas tree this year. I’m really crushing over the color-blocked version of YSL Muse Two bag at the moment. Very Natalie, if I can say so myself.

Dette er hva jeg kaller lukten av YSL. Mmm. Muse Two-veske, Tribtoo-pumps og andre godsaker. Hadde ikke akkurat hatt noe i mot å lukte (og røre såklart!) noen av disse sakene under juletreet i år. Jeg har på en måte forelsket meg i den røde, blå og hvite varianten av YSL Muse Two-vesken for øyeblikket. Veldig Natalie i grunnen, om jeg tørr å si det selv.

Pocket Wish

Monday, December 5th, 2011

On my wishlist for Christmas is a lot, amongst other a new wallet. Time to let go of the childish Hello Kitty ones I’ve owned throughout the years and invest in some real stuff. I wouldn’t mind seeing one of these under the tree.

På ønskelisten min til jul er det mye, men blant annet en ny lommebok. Absolutt på tide å gi slipp på de barnslige Hello Kitty-lommebøkene jeg har hatt med meg opp gjennom årene og investere i noe ordentlig. Jeg hadde ikke hatt noe i mot å finne en av disse under juletreet i år.

M-m-metallic

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

I want a pair of metallic trousers badly. These ones by Etro is perfect. Great for dressing up and down and straight from work to play, during this season’s many events. I’m a fan of popping colors to metallics and the red angora sweater by Malene Birger is no exception. The rest of the items of the outfit is enough said, if you ask me.

Jeg ønsker meg fælt et par bukser i metallisk materiale. Disse fra Etro er helt perfekte. Fine å kle opp og ned og praktiske å kombinere rett fra jobb til moro i løpet av disse travle arrangementstider. Personlig liker jeg å blande sterke farver med rene metalliske nyanser, og denne røde angoragenseren til Malene Birger er intet unntak. Resten av plaggene og tilbehøret til antrekket trenger jeg vil ikke å si noe særlig mer om?

I’m currently having a mental love affair with these two. Oh my, satisfaction! I must have them. Please?

Jeg har for øyeblikket et mentalt kjærlighetsforhold til disse to. Herlighet, nytelse på høyt nivå. Må ha dem. Vær så snill?

Androgynous Feat Ladylike

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

I’ve got a fling for orange lately. No wonder this dusty orange oversized cardigan by Malene Birger is on my wishlist at the moment. I would style it in an androgynous feat ladylike way. The shirt and loafers are good basics for the androgen wardrobe. The suede trousers are just hot. The scarf is a significant part of a fall outfit and the pattern fit well into this season’s ethnic trend. And last but not least, the bag simply gives the outfit the ladylike and feminine touch.

Jeg har en høstflørt gående med oransjfarver for øyeblikket. Ikke uten grunn at denne rust-oransj cardiganen fra Malene Birger er på ønskelisten min. Selv ville jeg stylet den litt androgynt møter dameaktig. Skjorten og mokkasinene er fine basisplagg til den androgyne garderoben. De semskede buksene er rett og slett kule. Skjerfet er en viktig del av et høstantrekk, og mønsteret passer bra inn i sesongens etniske trend. Og sist, men ikke minst, slangeskinnsvesken gir antrekket et “ladylike” og feminint preg.

Barbour Me Up

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Photos: barbour.com

The cold weather the past week has been a real contrast to the pre-taste of summer we had before and during Easter. It actually snowed the other day! Snow in May!!! I was brave enough (well, actually more unknowingly) to pack mostly spring and summer clothes when I returned to Stockholm last week. I’ve been freezing a lot and trying to hold my feet dry with Converse in the rain all week long. Now I’m craving for a Barbour jacket to keep me warm. Preferably one of those quilted ones, but the parkas-ish ones are great too. The Barbour jackets work as a perfect outdoor protection with the country-preppy touch for the big city. Functional fashion all the way.

Det kalde været siste uken har vært en kontrast til forsmaken av sommerværet vi vitnet til før og under påsken. Det snødde faktisk her om dagen. Snø i mai lissåm!!! Jeg var modig nok (vel, snarere uviten) til å pakke mest vår- og sommertøy i bagasjen da jeg reiste tilbake til Stockholm forrige uke. Jeg har vært en frossenpinne hele uken og Converse har vært eneste redningen mot regn. Skulle lett hatt en Barbour-jakke i garderoben her nå til å holde meg varm nok. Helst en av de quiltede, men parkasmodellene er flotte de og. Jakkene fungerer perfekt som utendørs beskyttelse på overkroppen slik været er nå, og utover funksjonalitet har de det fine på-landet-preppy-preget over seg.

Paparazzi

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Photo: Private

When mainly shopping for and with my boyfriend in Stockholm this weekend I managed to lay eyes on this tank top while he was in the dressing room. It’s by Minimarket from their Mini For Many SS2011 Collection. It would fit perfectly in my summer-quirky-festival-casual wardrobe. I’ve regretted since then that I didn’t buy it immediately. My sweet boyfriend even offered to buy it for me as a gift and I refused to accept. Big regret!

Til tross for at jeg og kjæresten var ute på shopping i helgen her i Stockholm med fullt fokus på å bidra til nytt fyll i hans garderobe -  klarte jeg å rette blikket mot denne kule og smålig hipster-ish toppen. Den er fra Minimarket og årets “Mini For Many”-vårkolleksjon. Den hadde passet perfekt inn i sommer-quirky-festival-casual-stilen min. Jeg har siden da angret på at jeg ikke kjøpte den med det samme. Et stykke snill kjæreste tilbudte seg også å kjøpe den til meg som en gave, men jeg nektet å ta i mot. Angrer!

All I Want For Spring

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

Photos: acnestudios.com, shopbop.com, zara.com

All I want this new and upcoming season is a change of colors in my wardrobe. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Tangramarama Anna clutch has all the essentials I need in a clutch this spring. It’s canvas, military green and leather belted, and I already know the size will fit like a glove under my arm. A must-have to go with the clutch is something bold and orange covered on body parts. This Studio Silk blouse by Zara is orange and plain enough. It goes well with jeans and most likely other funky leg wear too, but first of all a body tan. Orange and pale is seldom delicious. The Stone Cluster Ring by Marc by Marc Jacobs is another gem in the jewelery department my forefinger is longing for. Karen Walker is officially my new favorite when it comes to sunglasses. No surprise the sunglasses in a milky vintage color above are named ‘Number One‘. Acne Gun just arrived in the color wood at work today and I instantly felt an attraction. If plastic is fantastic, then wood is all good!

Alt jeg ønsker meg til den nye og kommende vårsesongen er fornyelse av farvesortimentet i garderoben. Marc by Marc Jacobs Tangramarama Anna-clutchen har alt jeg trenger i en håndveske til våren. Materialet, kombinasjonen av tekstil med det lyse mosegrønne, skinnbeltet-detaljen og størrelsen gjør den til en perfekt følgesvenn under armen. Vesken krever heldigvis en overdel de dagene jeg beveger meg utenfor nudiststrendene, og en Studio Silk-bluse fra Zara i knæsj oransj gjør seg bra som en enkel topp med et par jeans til, men viktigst av alt passer den best til sommerbrun hud. Solarium, vi sees fremover! Ringfingeren min ønsker seg Marc by Marc Jacobs Stone Cluster-ringen rundt seg. Den sier den føler seg ensom uten. Når vi snakker om tilbehør, Karen Walker er offisielt min nye solbrillefavoritt. Modellen ‘Number One’ ovenfor har fått en passende tittel, synes jeg.  Og vi hopper fra hode, forbi skulder og til tå:  i dag på jobb ankom Acne Gun i farven ‘wood’ og det var øyeblikkelig tiltrekning. Hvis ‘plastic is fantastic’, så er ‘wood all good’!

Waiting For The Eagle To Land

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

Photos: net-a-porter.com, denimblog.com, prettyballerinas.com & acnestudios.com

Recently I’ve fallen in love with Acne‘s Eagle leather jacket in red. I can’t stop thinking about it and it got me fantasizing about the coming season where the Celsius adds up to plus and the ground has soaked up all the snow and wet. When that time arrives I’m going back to basics – preferably in new jeans by Mardou & Dean, a comfy wool-blend knitted sweater, lace up shoes or any other shoes by Pretty Ballerinas, accessorized with Alexander McQueen metallic leather skull wrap bracelet, accompanied by a simple and clean leather clutch like the above from Yves Saint Laurent and of course with Acne Eagle like a cherry on top of an sundae.

Nylig falt jeg pladask for Acnes Eagle skinnjakke i rødt. Lenge siden jeg har tenkt så mye på en slik snasen rød sak og faktummet at det er en skinnjakke fikk meg til å fantasere om fremtidige dager hvor målestokken nærmer seg vårlige plussgrader og bakken har gjort seg bar. Når den tid kommer er det på tide å rette fokuset mot basistøy. Helst vil jeg være ikledd nye komfortable jeans fra Mardou & Dean fra bilringene og ned, en behagelig strikket genser på overkroppen, skodd i knytesko eller hvilke som helst andre sko fra Pretty Ballerinas, utsmykket med et metallisk lærarmbånd av Alexander McQueen, holdt i selskap av en enkel sort clutch à la den perfekte fra Yves Saint Laurent og selvsagt med Acne Eagle-skinnjakke på toppen av det hele.

No explanation needed. No need for a sales assistant. If this bow embellished shorts could talk it already had me at hello. Sold!

Denne dusrosa shortsen med sløyfe på trenger vel neppe noen forklaring. Ingen behov for en butikkselger for å overbevise meg heller. Kjøpt og betalt!

Blue Crush

The Mulberry Alexa bag was already an it-bag before it was launched in stores. No big news there. I can’t seem to get tired of it myself and recently stopped by the Mulberry shop to touch and crave. And oooh snap, how beautiful isn’t it in blue or yellow? I already have a Balenciaga City in blueberry, but I wouldn’t say no thanks to an Alexa in blue.

Showroom Day

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Today between work out this morning and work later in the afternoon, I went to Patriksson Communcations, Spalt PR and Gambit H&K showrooms to see the fall/winter collections up close. A pleasant and fun day with some beautiful, some interesting, some ok items to touch and look at, yummy food and drinks, nice people and even some sunshine.

Favorites of the day:

Carin Wester shoes and accessories. I could live with the clothes in my wardrobe too. So many cravings!

Veronica B. Vallenes patterns, cuts, fabrics and pieces were more my cup of tea than expected. I’m awful at catching up on Norwegian design, but this was fabulous simplicity!

This awesome hat by Filippa K has the perfect contrast and shape.

Geeky-cool glasses by Marc Jacobs and Yves Saint Laurent.

Maria posing with some übercool Marc Jacobs shades in red pattern.

The girls at Spalt PR blowing bubbles bubbles bubbles.

Customized Moet & Chandon champagne with tiny surprises to go with inside the gold orbs.

Eva looking fantastic as always in a jungle inspired color palette.

Spotted this remarkable quilted Chanel backpack on a stylish person who Maria recently blogged about.

Shoes and accessories for guys by Gant I wouldn’t mind dressing my boyfriend in.

Spring Cravings

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Right now I’m craving for a fringe top, boyfriend jeans in washed denim, cat-print platforms by Miu Miu (I have to get a hold of them some how!), hand-painted clutch (future DIY project, I guess), the perfect beige trench coat, and last but not least Robyn’s upcoming album Body Talk featuring funky pop-electro hits like ‘Fembot’, ‘None Of Dem’ and ‘Dancehall Queen’ screaming out of my stereo all spring long.

Spring Fever With Addison #4

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

Photos (collage): oasis-stores.com, net-a-porter.com & topshop.com

I was literally spotting this dotted jumpsuit at Oasis the other day. The fabric, cut and pattern add up to what the perfect playsuit is in my head. Great for lazy spring and summer days, besides matched up with my latest obsession, which is a studded denim vest (totally in love with the one from Levi’s),  it would make a match in heaven for festival days too. Hats are this season’s addiction as a great variation to sunglasses and during the heavy days of sunshine it even protects the hair while looking extra stylish. The Addison wedges in taupe from Topshop aren’t exactly spankin’ brand news since this is my fourth and probably last styling collage with them. Which one is your favorite of the 1, 2, 3 and 4?

Karla Spetic

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Photos: karlaspetic.com

Wow, I just found a new favorite Australian designer. Where have you been all my life? The Karla Spetic Autumn Winter 2010 Collection is perfectly my taste. I love the color palette (the mix of pastels with unexpected colors), the cuttings of the outerwear and mini-dresses, the pinching and twisting (a bit like Burberry Prorsum SS2010), the knitted skirts, the bow head band, the color blocked cardigans, the draping and of course the illustrated prints. All in all the cleanness. Love x 100. The collection gives me a feeling of floating on cloud. Very dreamy indeed.
