Silence & Noise

I arrived to London yesterday - and I´m staying for 2 weeks! So excited. Although it´s not all a vacation (I will steadily be working on my final bachelor thesis) - we also have many fun things planned for this trip. Today we are going to the Tate (Modern Museum), and tonight we are going to The Molton House for champagne and canapés. I will keep you updated! 

I might even sneak in a trip to Urban Outfitters and snatch this jacket with me from Silence & Noise. It´s too classic to miss out on!

And NO - for you who were thinking I´m crazy for leaving sunny Spain - it´s (actually) not raining here. The sun is shining here as well!

Love,

Fur-Freezing

I am a big fan of fur. (Anneli is not, so you do not have the leave the blog. She will show you greate fake-fur styles.) These grey fur shoes pictured above are amazing. I love that the pointy toe is back!

Doo.Ri

New York based designer Doo-Ri Chungs latest Fall 2009 Ready-to-wear collection was all about details, I must admit some pieces where too much for my liking.

The collection governed by black, made a little room for the colour of the season: Violet, but was enhanced by the details: fur, chains, rope, and some crystal studded leggings.

Some blogs have been discussing if they hate or love the make-up in the show. I personally love the make up... romantic goth!

What do you guys think?

Madonna & Louis Vuitton

Im still not sure I like this... Madonna being the spokes-model for Louis Vuitton s/s 09. Isn’t she a bit old and overexposed to be doing that? I usually like to take a couple weeks to think if I like a partnership like this (I did not like Lindsay Lohan & Miu Miu at first) 

Anyway, I posted a video of the making of the ad campaign, and I must say that there are a lot of beautiful accessories in the video.

Love,

P.S - miss you girls all together in Barcelona without me!

Classic Buys # 1

There are some classic buys that you will never regret that you invested in. The first one is the well-known Burberry trenchcoat, pictured above. The trenchcoat was originally designed by Thomas Burberry 1901 for the British (and later also French) soldiers during World War One.

Another Night Out

I brought along my Swedish friends to a Norwegian student get-together last night. We had a blast - and enjoyed a lovely three-course meal at Club Solo, and later danced the night away, at Opium Mar.

Today we have been recovering from the weekend, with breakfast/lunch at Hard Rock Café and a stroll in the city. Tomorrow its truly back to reality, where I have tons of school work to finish, before going to London for 2 weeks, on Tuesday. Jippi!

Hope you have had a lovely weekend!

I´m wearing dress and jacket from Zara, tights from Wolford, shoes from Bimba & Lola, bag from Topshop and earrings from River Island.

Love,

I love these pictures of the girls, taken just before we went out yesterday. I also love Sofia´s glasses that Camilla is wearing, from Mono!

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,

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!

*Jacket from Zara, belt from LeSwing.

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)?

Styling My iPhone

I am finally beginning to love my iPhone and now couldn't imagine a life with out it ...I have everything I need when and where ever I am. 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.
