this is what you probably always will find in my handbag, at any time. basic. i would also like to reward myself, this is the only bag i brought home to scandinavia, it's my second time ever flying with ryanair and the first time i ended up paying a lot for everything. i took the i'm-not-gonna-pay-any-extra-fees-this-time attitude very seriously and this is actually the bag i was travelling with. well proud of myself!
this is how happy i feel now. tuesday is finally here and i'm off to stockholm. midsummer celebration and some country lifestyle is coming up. but i won't leave the city of islands without dancing with these three pretty ladies.
i've never been a sale person. when it's sale i'm always ending up buying the full price stuff. until now. moving here is the best thing i've ever done, shopping wise. the shoes are going up north but the little iphone case is for my phone that i (proud) havn't scratched yet after nearly a year and i'd like to keep it that way. the case was 70% off (!) from balenciaga.
today's been a mission. running around like a mad woman between harvey nichols, harrods, liberty and work. sale is really a sale here. everything and i mean everything is at least 50% off. nearley everything from the ss10 shows are now 50% off. every single brand i can think of from the shows in nyc, paris, milano and london are represented. go mad ladies. i'll show you what i bought tomorrow, they just deserve daylight, they're going straight to stockholm on tuesday... i have the best friends and i'll do anything for them.
i was wearing: suede jacket, h&m, leather skirt, vintage and clogs, zara. the colours don't come out right in this light, i'll take a mood pic tomorrow morning for you.
i've always been a sucker for patterns. right now you find a lot of it, everywhere. i found what i was wearing yesterday in a sweet little pile on my floor this morning. i had to take a picture. now: me and my swedish phone are heading for knightsbridge and do some telephone sale shopping for my sweetheart columbine in stockholm. usually harrods and harey nichols start their sale a bit before the set date. if not, there will be some racing tomorrow morning with all other sicko-fashion-lovers of london.
i didn't start until 2pm today and had time to run some errands, this is how i looked. wearing: jumper, sandals and shorts, topshop. bag, louis vuitton and scarf h&m.
wearing: playsuit, zara. shoes, missoni and bag balenciaga.
after work i went home to get a dry jacket (forgot my umbrella this morning)and then met up with my sis for a drink. just next to my house there's a great pub with a veranda facing the river. wearing: sequin jacket and hareem pants, topshop. flats, miu miu.
about once every month there is a little vintage fair in primrose hill, the people selling are much nicer, more helpful, genuinely interested and they don't take over prices as in portobello and brick lane. here you can find everything from 150 years old victorian dresses to vivienne westwood jackets from the 80's. it's literally a vintage heaven. because it's so small, be there in time. the next fair is on the 17th of july, 11:00 to 5:00 cash only.i loved the chanel inspired jacket, bottom pic, the colours, the buttons perfect but it was to big. £12, that's quite cheap i would say, would have bought it if i had my sewing machine here.
went to see the new exhibition at the saatchi gallery yesterday and as usual you will find a lot of cool or weird stuff. very modern but always exciting. i loved the big paper dolls.
one thing i like about buying magazines in the summer season is the fact that every single one of them seem to come with a gift, preferably a beach bag / shopping bag or summer tunic. i actually saw this moschino cheap and chick bag on ebay a few weeks ago but forgot to bid on it, it was only about £5 but hey, now i also got a mag with it. think it came with uk in style, july issue.
i was wearing: dress, h&m fashion against aids. jacket and shoes, topshop.
twiggy is so london, i'm trying a twiggy make up today but with brown eye liner, a bit softer. do it black next time. this picture is from yesterday but i got so many comments i'll put it on today too.
i went to guildford to work over the day and on my way home i saw this foxy young lady. you could tell there was a thought behind her outfit but my, doesn't she still look cool and casual?
this is what my last two days have been like. in bed, zipping lemsip and reading when my head doesn't hurt to much. today my cold is finally better and i repainted my nails = feel like a new version of myself. i love the amount of magazines in this country. and they're cheap. the perfect combination.
bbc one with their camera team, escorted by this fashionable lady interviewed me last friday about what i will wear for this season. she just had it and looked absolutely stunning. if you live or visiting london and don't know what to wear or buy this season you can find her, natalie robinson, and her professional team here.
last time i went to the day birger et mikkelsen office at the toll house my boss gave me this silk dress "for my hard work". man, i'll work even harder. it's so funny that she gave me this too after knowing me for such short while, because this dress's got my name on it, literally. such a stina dress. i'll wear it with a small leather belt, show it on later, now i have to run to a store launch event at day birger et mikkelsen, house of fraser oxford st. ciao!
