OUTFITS | Elongated Legs

Photobucket

Photobucket


leather jacket: thrifted
trousers: H&M
shirt: Hema
invisible 14cm platform 1990's boots: thrifted


Last weekend I went into H&M to buy socks and walked away with this pair of white wide trousers. They were sadly hanging over a rack with a 50% off tag and they looked completely disgusting covered in dark dust. But they were exactly my size and cup of tea. That's what I have to give H&M credit for; they always seem to have just the thing that you are not looking for. As for the socks, I totally forgot about them.

NOVELTY | Land ss12 Lookbook

Photobucket

This is my favorite look from the new spring summer lookbook from Land. Each season they expand their collection by adding new items and colours to their ever growing collection of garments. Which means that their clothes are not bound to season and will be always available throughout the years. This panelled legging for example has already been part of Land for a few seasons but now just came in a new bright orange color. Land's inspiration is always the archetypal shapes of clothes; generic trousers, your typical tshirt or a basic button up shirt.

So many interesting things were going on around me during London Fashion week that I forgot to take pictures of what I was wearing myself. But luckily my outfits are popping up on other blogs! Here's what I wore on day 3; shirt from Land, Topshop jeans, heels Acne and hoodie from boyfriend.

BEAUTY | Half Way Manicure

Photobucket

ring: hardware store


To do this two toned manicure in nude and black all you need is a bit of black naipolish and 15 minutes. You could use maskin tape to cover half of your nail before you paint it but if you have a steady hand it's much quicker to just go ahead and do it without.

shirt: COS
necklace: DIY
trousers: Uniqlo
heels: thrifted
lipstick: airborn unicorn byLime Crime
sportsbra: H&M 2 years ago



Besides Fashion Week, Uniqlo was one of the things I was looking forward to on my trips to London. We visited the store 3 times and stayed inside about an hour each visit. I ended up buying only one thing; these not so slobby sweatpants.

REPORT | LFW, ACNE AW12

At Acne, everything is always right on spot. The collection, the magazine, the stores. The show, which I normally only get to see through slick style.com images, was everything I´d expect from the Swedes; it all made prefect sense. After climbing a stair or 6, visitors arrived at the top floor of the venue which kind of looked like a parking with its concrete floors, 2 meter thick round pillars, raw ceilings and dilapidated walls. This gigantic space used to be the London's post sorting office and has been empty for 15 years. A four meter high marble printed decor was set up in the middle. Everyone from Emanuelle Alt to Florence Welch to Kate Lanphear (could continue dropping names for quite a while but I'll spare you that bit) were there. The models walking through it a couple of minutes later in boxy sculptured jackets, leather dresses and pointy glasses completed the slightly futuristic story.

  We entered the WORLD OF COLOR and the fun of DOODLING!

20120220_313

By taking my 'Live in Color' paper line and Kuretake pens such as ZIG Art & Graphic Twin & Memory Writers we explored how color, art, and doodling makes us feel.

20120220_318  At one point, I asked everyone to get out the paper called 'Beautiful Daydreams', and then using the art pens we spent a moment doodling and drawing how we felt at that moment to create own piece of art. It was so AMAZING to see how everyone took the same piece of paper, opened their hearts up, and let the colors and art flow!
