Tonight is the night for macaroons and tea.  I bought them at Harrods and even though its the priciest little cookie its worth it just for the packaging.  We didn't get the apartement, we didn't win the bidding or rather we ran out of money to bid with.  So that housewarming everyone is looking forward to will just have to wait.  I'm hoping something better will come along and yes i believe in karma.  It just wasnt meant to be.

P.S.  It's this beautys birthday today, i was meant to be there celebrating her right right now but i've come down with a cold (as well as loosing my dream apartment).  Today isn't a good wednesday.  Happy birthday Honey!

I bought the bouclé chanel inspired jacket from Divided Exclusive. I love it plenty, though i wish it were a little bit longer, but you can't have everything in this world.

Mesh Boot Christopher Kane for Topshop.  Close to perfection.

This is what my lips used to look like ca. 1998.  Well the purple part anyway.  Now im craving it again!  Simple yet dramatic.  Focus on those lips baby! 

 

I just clicked home this awesome vintage leopard cocoon mohair cardigan on ebay.  I think it'll work perfectly as a jacket until November!  What'd ya reckon, hit or miss?

Champagne and mini cakes at Pom Pom Parlours opening.  After that beer and mini hamburgers and JC's flagship reopening!  I love the whole mini thing.  And i know one of my eyes look a little lazy, but you know these event photographers arent the best at catching up your good side.

   



  



So we are definantly leaving the hard, black, studded, and trashy trends behind us for Spring/Summer 2010.
Make way for the feminine.  Pastels, drappings, dresses, chiffong, dressy, lolitaesque and glamourous.  Especially if we are to trust Burberry Prorsum.   Other feminine collections from London fashion week inclue Christopher Kane (very lolitaesque, with every piece focusing on pastel checkered table cloth fabric!!) and Antonio Berardi.

Are you looking forward towards Spring/Summer 2010?  Are you glad we're moving towards  brighter and more feminine fashion?  Are you sick of the dark/edgy/trashy style?

1. Cognac colored leather.



2. Leopard wedge loafers



3.  Quilted leather.



4. Ribbed athletic socks.



5. Sweatshirt infused corset.



6. Varsity jackets with a twist.



7.  Sheer Tighty Whites and Mohair power shoulders.




8.  The messy sideways braid.

Eight trends to judge from Alexander Wangs s/s 10 show.  High School football turned into this - Varsity pinup, and i like it.  Its simple yet edgy, its wearable yet the detailing is fantastic, and its sportswear turned high fashion.  As Meenal Mistry from style.com put it ' The look here was varsity pinup, as if a bevy of cool but wayward high-school girls had raided the locker room armed with a pair of scissors''

Timeless pieces that are sure to become classics.  My favourites? The cognac leathered lace up shorts.

OK so you guys were so good when it came to tips from London, that i thought i'd try this again.  Next stop? Milan.  Tomorrow.  So tell me about your favourite restaurant, the best place to party it up, where to drink the foamiest cappuchino, and the best shopping whether it be markets or outlets!  Come on and share, after all sharing is caring!

Everyones biggest inspiration source aka fashiontoast has taken the leap from bloger to designer.  The first bloger to design for a mayor line (correct me if i'm wrong), RVCA, Erin Wassons favorit.  This triad tank will be available for sale on her blog as well as RVCA come spring.  Just a simple tank some may think but read her explaination, and you realize the amount of thought thats gone into this, and that hey, yeah, i've had that problem with tights and tanks/ shorts and tanks.

But hey the best thing in these shots has to be the asish for topshop wedges/boots.

OK so im off.  This may not be the most active blog this weekend but ill try to pop in once in awhile.  Tonights plans so far are dinner in Notting Hill with the old gang.  Oh yea and remember the reason for my 5am wakeup call the other day?  I cant believe it made the news, but then again i dont think you could call Aftonbladet a newspaper.  If i get the YSL manifesto, you'll definantly be hearing from me!  Ciao!

I realised its about time to go down to the basement and fish up my leopard fur.  One of the best things with fall/winter, i get to wear this beauty.  Inherited from my great grandma.  How fantastic isnt that?  Pieces with History make the wearing part so much more fun.

And this is what the manifesto tote looks like this year.  Hoping i get my hands on one in London next week.

Its almost time for the YSL manifesto.  For the past few years YSL have been campaigning through handing out catalogues and limited edition totes around the time of New York Fashion Week.  September 12th is the date to remember if you find yourself in Hong Kong, Seoul, London, Milan, Paris, Tokyo and New York of course.  And i am lucky enough to be in London at the time so hoping to snatch one for myself.

P.S. Im crazy sick and stuck at home so we'll keep the competition going for a few more days, plus i wanna hear more of your favorite travels!

OK so this illness i felt this morning has now broken out into a full on epidemic.  I feel shit.  My head is bashing, throat is dry and my nose is running.  SO since you wouldnt want to see me now, here's an outfit from saturday.  The mesh dress is from swedish Koola Anna.  And on my head you'll find a crayfish hat- i later swapped it for a Top Hat.

Im now gonna crawl in underneath my duvet with the lastest People, and american Vogue that fantastic Danette sent me all the way from the US of A.

COS behind the scences Autumn/Winter 09 

I love the instrumental.
