Buffalo

Hi guys,

The Buffalo shoes were all the rage when I was 7 years old. I remember that almost everyone had a pair, myself included. Having said that, I would still have to say that I count them among my wardrobe disasters. 
 I was a bit surprised to see that now they are back in!
 Well they say fashion always comes back. I just think it´s funny that the styles that were in when I was a child have finally made their comeback, however tacky they might have been. 
Does this mean I´m getting old?

Have a great day

Weekend dressing

Hi guys, 

This here is my my perfect weekend outfit from one of my favorite shops: Topshop. If I had this I would wear it every weekend!( or this weekend here in oslo).   The colors look so good together. The beanie and the jeans keep it casual while the coat and the shoes make it just dressy enough. Love it!

 

Perfect weekend dressing

Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 13

picture belongs to Ministry of fashion 

Hi guys, 

I am so in love with the Dries van Noten Spring/Summer collection for 2013. Love the colors, prints and patterns. I think it´s  romantic ( flower printed chiffon) with a preppy twist (the tartan patterns). So beautiful and I would love to dress myself up in each of these looks!

Basics

Hi guys, 
Im not very much of a basics person, my wardrobe contains primarily loud eye catching pieces and even my basics have some sort of twist ( black velvet pants anyone? I live in mine these days - So comfy but still looks pulled together), but here is a list of what I think are must have basics:

1. basic trench coat

Because it goes with anything and adds instant polish to any outfit. I have one with leather sleeves that I use a lot during the summer.

2. black  trousers   

I usually never wear trousers. Im more of a skirts and dresses kind of girl. But I live in Iceland and therefore I have to be realistic. My favourite pair ( which I consider to be a basic in my wardrobe) are these wonderful velvet pants.

3. Nude pumps 

This is the exact pair that I have. They are so ladylike and I love to pair them with navy blue items in my wardrobe ( of that, I have plenty) 

4. Red lipstick 

One swipe of fiery red lipstick can fix anything. My ultimate life saver!

4.A blazer 

I love blazer jackets. They work with anything and make any outfit more sophisticated. 

5. ballet flats

I am a heels girl at heart, but in some circumstances a pretty flat shoe is essential ( travelling etc.) 

6.pretty ( and matching) underwear 

In my opinion, pretty underwear is an essential basic and important to any outfit. Even though nobody will see it, it adds confidence.

7. a kickass pair of sunglasses 

Instantly makes you cooler and paired with red lipstick, it´s all I need to feel good about myself!

8. a nice perfume 

I think the perfume you wear is just as personal as your handwriting. I wear perfume everyday, and even different according to what mood I´m in.

Have a great day

Every day is hat day

Today is national hat day in the United States. So for those of you currently living (or staying there), happy hat day! In my own opinion every day is hat day, no matter where you live (even in Iceland where it is pretty much windy every single day).

So, happy hat day everyone!

Graceful

Hey guys!

When I saw The September issue  earlier this fall there was one character that really stood out to me: Grace Coddington.

 She is the creative director of American Vogue, working along side the famous and highly influential Anna Wintour. I really enjoyed seeing her in The September issue, her style and artistic vision is so inspiring and I think I would really like her, if we were ever to meet in real life. Grace published a memoir in November, which I can´t wait to read!

Can´t wait to get my hands on this book!!!

Have a great day

Must have

Hi guys,

I really love icelandic design. There are so many talented designers here doing amazing things. One of my favorites is the designer Eyglo. I already have one item by her, this dress from the summer collection. I really love what she does but I especially like the AW12 collection, there are so many wonderful items and original patterns. If you want to check out the collection, you can see it here

Right now I have a massive crush on this dress!

So lovely and I absolutely love the wave pattern and the net panels on the side. Better start saving up for this one!

Have a great weekend guys!

About Face

Happy Friday you guys!

Life couldn´t  be better right now, no more exams, Christmas is almost here, and I am now a redhead. So psyched about my new haircolour!. I will be celebrating a friend´s birthday tonight and working tomorrow and Sunday, so this weekend will be a good mix of work and play.
I am getting more and more interested in fashion films and films that tell the story of people that have had something to do with the fashion industry after seeing Coco before Chanel.
Just saw a trailer for a new film today called About Face.
About Face is a documentary about models and age. The ever present pressure of looking young as a model.  The trailer looks promising and I will definitely add  this film to my list of must see fashion films.

Happy weekend you guys!!
