From Sweden With ♥

As mentioned earlier, we have some visitors from Stockholm. Although, both Isabel and Sofia have lived her for several years before (Isabel is an old classmate) - they where thrilled to be back, as we ventured around in local haunts and bars. First stop was to our favorite bar in Grazia, Nois i Art - here we enjoyed some dinner and later, "carefully" sipped on the 80% alcohol and 20% Red Bull drinks. Pheew!

I am wearing a silver printed dress (originally a top) and leather jacket from Zara, purple scarf from H&M, leather bag from Topshop, tights from American Apparel & my favorite ankle booties from Bimba & Lola.

All Things Black and White

I was doing some shopping online for some things to add to my wardrobe when I came across this moodboard. I particularly love the Lanvin pearl and grosgrain necklace in the back. I couldn’t resist, so I ordered it from www.netaporter.com

I cant wait until it arrives!!!

Love Lena xxx

I´m Thinking...I Like It?

This picture is taken at the Wool and The Gang Dinner and After-Party, in London during Fashion Week. Mary-Kate always looks groomed (I love the Stella McCartney shoes she is wearing from SS09!) - but I was especially intrigued by Nate Lowman´s flowery scarf. 

I think I like it.. Either way, I love that guys dare to wear bold and "unexpected" accessories - what do you think??

Sun, Clara and Ray-Bans

I´ve just come home from sitting out in the sun all day, drinking clara and enjoying the first proper spring day! Camilla and I have visitors this weekend, Isabel & Sofia from Stockholm. I have a feeling this will be a hard, but very fun weekend! Will keep you updated ;)

Love,

Health of Teens

In this world, there are a few things that we need to be worried about. One of those things is the health of teens. A lot of teens are not going out and getting the workout that they need to stay fit. However, there is a little bit of hope for these teens that like to play video games. There are some gaming systems that are getting kids up and get active. Systems like the Nintendo Wii are way ahead of their time as far as getting gamers involved. Games like Wii fit are getting kids to exercise, and in some ways understand, that they are overweight. These games are telling our kids things about their health that we are afraid to say, and that is a good thing, people say.

Wish List - Spring/Summer #11

What a lovely day! The sun is shining outside, and Anneli and I are heading out for a cappuccino . This dress from Aquascutum would make my day even brighter!

DAILY OUTFIT: "The Red Coat"

I know the sun has come to Barcelona, and I´m slowly starting to pack out all my summer stuff (a bit enthusiastic, I know). But it was something about this coat, I just couldn´t resist; the strong red, with the "folkloric" pattern - combined with the width and heavy neck part. Expect for it being a bit too big (I fixed that with the belt), it´s perfect, and it stands out. I love that.

Obviously, I will be using it mostly next winter - but I´m definitely going to bring it with me to cold London next week!

A Royal Wedding

I was thrilled to hear that the Swedish Royal Family today announced the engagement between Crown Princess Victoria Bernadotte and her husband-to-be Daniel Westling. The wedding will be held next spring, 2010, in Stockholm.

Besides from that I am really happy for Victoria and Daniel, I wish Victoria will take this opportunity to wear something stunning. Victoria said in an interview last year that she was thinking about letting a Swedish designer design her weddingdress.

Personally, I really hope she will fallow her mothers example, and marry in French Haute Couture (Queen Silvia married in Dior, picture 1) or why not a Marchesa (picture 2)?

For those of you who love your iPhone and your fashion - you are probably aware that www.style.com has had an iPhone application out for a while, just a few days ago they added party pictures and mens fashion, so its official www.style.com is 100% iPhone friendly, this has made my day!!

Hope you are good,

You Can Do Better #2

I was really dissapointed when reviewing the F/W 09 collection from Twenty8Twelve. Designers Sienna and Savannah Miller were the only ones nicely dressed at the catwalk. The pale models walked down in unexciting clothes that looked like a combination between Topshop two seasons ago, and a bad version of Balmain.

Probabaly some of the pieces will be wearable and exciting one by one, but together they gave me no reason to fire away a smile like Siennas. The only exception, is the look picture above - the brands signature leather jacket, a flowery tunic and focus on the legs.

Candlelight Seduction

One of our stops during Valentines Day were hotel/restaurant/bar Lydmar in Stockholm. When entering the lobby, an amazing scent seduced me - Byredo Bibliothéque scented candle.

They are so expensive, (around 47 euros) I will have to wait until I am a working girl, and not a student, before I invest in one (but then, I am going to have one in each room!).

*(In Sweden) you buy them at NK or Lydmar.

DAILY OUTFIT: Stroll In The City

Im wearing my new, jeans shirt from Zara (love it!!), leather belt from H&M, zipped tights from American Apparel, white Converse & my new silver bracelet from Blanco Accessories. 

Wish List - Spring/Summer #10

An oversized clutch, like the one pictured above. Any idea where I can find one?

The Popcorn Bar

Yesterday we went to the old part of the city in El Borne. There we managed to squeeze ourselves into a tiny local bar, where they happen to serve you popcorn for every drink you order (which makes you just keep on ordering drinks, because you are so thirsty from all the salt! Very smart.) 

Anyway, after a couple of Mojitos and pineapple shots - I stumbled across some rather weird looking people. Come on, I know the early Madonna style is back - with the lace & lingerie - but isn´t this just over-doing it? (Although, noted there was festivities & carnival in the city, but still.)

I´m wearing a black t-shirt from Topshop, leaher belt from H&M, tights from American Apparel, vintage purse, bracelet & earrings from Blanco Accessories and ankle booties from Vogue.

Wish List - Spring/Summer #9

This stunning sequined dress from one of my favorite designers, Matthew Williamson - stands high on my wish list for this spring. Or, at least to find something very like it, for the "obvious" reasons (a.k.a my increasingly frail student budget.)

Anyways - I hope you are having a lovely Saturday! I for one am still recovering from an "all-nighter" on Thursday. Silly me, forgot to bring my camera (so annoyed!). But if I decide to go out tonight, I´ll make sure to bring it with me, filling you all in on the adventure tomorrow.

DAILY OUTFIT: "It´s All About McQueen"

I´m wearing my black leather jacket from Zara, knee-length cardigan from H&M Trend, black basic top from Topshop, zipped tights from American Apparel, white Converse & my favorite silk smoking scarf from Alexander McQueen.

I'm Alive

..but that is an almost alive. Yesterday started with the movie preview of "Män som hatar kvinnor" based on the book by Stieg Larsson. Then we went down to Sturecompagniet for the afterparty, and ended at Spybar.

The vintage fur is gift from my stepfather, the Mulberry wallet a gift from my boyfriend.

Calvin Klein Fall 2009

In Francisco Costa´s latest CK collection, its all about texture and fit. With asymmetrical lines, built-in shoulders, over-the-knee length cuts - and using materials such as silk, satin and even experimenting with felted wool - CK has reached yet a new level of excellence.

As usual - black was the dominating color, with some input from forest green, mustard-yellow and ice grey.

In some weird way, when seeing the collection, I felt it was out of this universe, moving over to the Sci-Fi era. It might be a combination of the pale static-looking models and dominant shapes - what do you think?

Le Chic

This photo shoot is taken from the latest W Magazine - where the glam, rock and glitter from the glory days of the 70´s, seems to be back for full. 

This makes me very happy - as I have been saving my silver blazer and sequined harem pants, for a fashion swoop just like this.

Welcome To Miami

I recently returned to Stockholm from Miami and I am very excited to go back next month but this time I am not going for business. I’ll be going there to visit some of my close friends ☺

My flight to cross the seas leaves on March 23 and I arrive just in time for the Miami Winter Music Conference. Basically from the 24th to the 28th of March, electronic music world takes over every club, bar, pool, street corner, beach, warehouse, diner and restaurant with amazing house music, endless parties and fist-pumping European and American partiers without an off switch.

Over 2,000 djs will be filling the streets of Miami for a week -long party! I can assure you, the conference is definitely the place to see and be seen.

I’ll make sure to take loads of sunny pics for those unfortunate ones, stuck in cold Europe. I’m so excited!!

Check out the line up

Temperley London Fall 2009

Alice Temperley decided to do things a little differently this year. Through a simultaneous online video launch - she showed her collection from her loft in Soho.

"I've been looking for an alternative way to show for a while now, and with editors and retailers cutting back on travel, the video seemed like a good, maybe even greener, way to reach a wider audience," Temperley explained. 

The style of the collection is very different then her signature style (with flowing materials, soft colors & shapes.) For this fall, she opted for sharp-military tailoring, combined with gold studs, figure forming dresses and Japan-inspired motives and silks. Even though the collection was darker, she played with a lot of colors, such as yellow, white, burgundy and red. 

Yet another one of my favorites from the NYFW for the fall season!

Wish List - Spring/Summer #8

I want this gorgeous embellished knitted jumper so badly, from Topshop´s new collection. It is currently sold out in the online store - but I´m going to London in a couple of weeks - so crossing my fingers it will be in store then!

Jill Stuart Fall 2009

"Iconic Woman of Music" - being inspired by legends like Stevie Nicks & early Madonna - Jill Stuart has truly delivered an exquisite collection for Fall 2009. There was a mixture of fine-cut tailoring and loose-fit "cowboy-romance" - with materials like satin, chiffon & leather, and a minimalist color palette; ranging from black & creme, to a hint of green, pink & grey. In my opinion - one of the best collections so far from NY Fashion Week. (I especially like the detail with the hat & flower!)

It´s collections and designs like this - which actually make me look forward to next fall.

Happy Lena

Hey Everybody!

Doing a much better job to post these days, am I not? hehe.

Anyways, just wanted to show off my new favorite hoodie from Happy People (www.happypeople.se). Thank you Thomas!

This weekend I’ve also had the great pleasure of seeing my beloved little darling Camilla, first time for quite some time actually. Dinner and drinks. It was so nice to catch up and finally have some quality time together.

Speak to you later,
