I wish...

I guess a Happy New Year peeps is in order. I am not much for NYE resolutions so instead I am writing a wish list.This year is the beginning of a new start. A new city. A new life. A new me. Ha how sentimental of me...Here goes:


I wish to save money so I can go to the big apple and of course my second home London. I wish to continue with my writing, in both Swedish and English. I wish to meet new people but not to lose touch with the people that mean the most to me. I wish to have another tattoo done. I wish to be out more, do more things, be more adventurous. I wish to stop smoking or at least cut down (2 ciggies in 4 days is quite the good start, right?). I wish for the snow to go away, or at least to go somewhere warmer than -15. I wish to give myself time to read more books, see more films and continue my addiction with Mad Men. I wish to meet my own Hank Moody.

Hair-ah!

So not like me: 2 posts in one day, I suppose a HURRAH is in order! Mostly because I just found the perfect pic to bring to the hairdressers next week (normally I only go for a fringe trim because I don't trust many hairdressers to touch my hair..I have been hair-raped before hence my scare for these creatures). But just look at this stunning cut on Abbey Lee, fantastic!

Hello stranger

Sorry blog I have been neglecting you; so much stuff happening right now which will hopefully lead to an exciting start of the new year. Right now I am having my eyes on these beauties ( I know all of Sweden is going on about the new Acne Track booties but I think the low rider is the one to die for) :

Paris Fashion Week

After spending the afternoon on style.com viewing all the shows from Paris Fashion Week I have to say I am slightly dissapointed. Balmain is the same old snooze, Lanvin I like elements off but not the collection as a whole, Balenciaga, Celine, Dries Van Noten are all rather boring. Maison Martin Margiela's sandwich board theme became too much (I normally love Margiela, but alltogether it just wasn't wearable). Hussein Chalayan seemed to have fallen just as flat as Margiela.My favourites ara Yojhi Yamamoto minus the slogan tees (maybe because it is all mainly black with just the right addition of goth) and Haider Ackermann (which was nicely balanced between soigné and louche in a beautiful colour scale).

M M M

Maison Martin Margiela is finally launching a web shop. Oh dear, this will be dangerous! The official date is October 1st, and for the launch a limited edition signature piece will be sold on the website ; a reinterpretation of their iconic 5 zipper biker jacket. There will only be 100 jackets for sale, 50 for men and 50 for women. So log onto www.maisonmartinmargiela.com on October 1st for some Margiela heaven. I sure will...

Holland gets sophisticated

There is no question that Henry Holland is getting older. And with age comes sophistication. He said himself that he makes clothes for the women in his life; and as a natural progression he wants to grow up alongside his company.

'Our girl is being invited to more cocktail parties than swap parties', said Henry Holland.

So long gone are the slogan tees and HoH has opted his inspiration from glamour and disco paired with the 1970's and New York nightlife. The acid colours were still there; from turquoise and aqua to purples and lime greens. According to Henry they always start the colour scheme from purple and work from there. The playfullness of HoH was seen in a banana leaf print, swarowski crystals embellishments, iron on stars and fluffly donut earrings. For me HoH will never be a label for grown-up women, but this collections showcased shapes that were more consciously sophisticated.

Me and my dear friends Kelly and Nathan had the privilige to be invited to a HoH screening and Q&A held in the Henry Holland Pub (Henry himself said if they ever decide to close up can he please have the sign!). This was the first time Henry saw the show after the catwalk, and after meeting him in person I am genuinly impressed. He was such a nice man; very laidback and funny. BFF material for sure. A LFW highlight.

London love

Been back in Sweden for three days now, but my heart is aching for London already. Had a great trip and even managed to see some shows at LFW. Highlights were Cooperative Designs (review is coming up), Henry Holland's screening and q&a at The Henry Holland Pub, and seeing Janice Dickinson face really close up was something out of this world. Catwalk reviews are coming!
