The RedWhiteBlue.

 

 

Red, white and blue yesterday. Feels so strange to see myself in jeans, especially in plain ones like these. But sometimes you just might need a day like this to appreciate the crazy-dress days better! ;) 

(I finally think I found the perfect red lipstick-shade by the way, this one comes from Clinique and is called Flamenco.)

Punaista, valkoista ja sinistä eilisessä lookissa! Näytän mielestäni tosi oudolta (puhumattakaan tylsältä) pelkissä farkuissa, mutta ehkä tällaisiakin päiviä tarvitaan jotta voin arvostaa taas enemmän hullu-asu päiviä ;) (Luulen muuten että olen viiiihdoinkin löytänyt täydellisen punaisen huulipunasävyn, Cliniquen Flamenco.)

The Mini.

 

 

Another piece I bought from the US! Blue jersey mini from BCBGMax Azria. The quality is so nice and smooth and fresh, perfect for summer. 

Toinen USA ostoksistani, sähkönsininen minihame BCBG Max Azrialta. Tajuttoman pehmeä ja samalla viileä materiaali tekee siitä täydellisen kesähameen.

Marshmallow Pink.

Shoes/Vagabond, Pants/H&M, Blazer/H&M, T-shirt/Lager157, Sunnies/Forever21, Furry Coat/Random Tokyo brand

Blue and pink combo today! I wound up buying this furry coat-cardigan from Harajuku since a crazy cold-windy-sandstorm started! Feels very japanese doesn't it? :) Everything here is so cute and pink and sweet, compared to my friends here I feel like a complete tomboy haha!

Sini-pinkki combo tänään :) Jouduin ostamaan tämän karvatakin Harajukusta hullun hiekkamyrskyn alkaessa! Se näyttää mielestäni niin japanilaiselta! Kaikki täällä on söpöä ja vaaleanpunaista ja herttaista, ja ystäviini verrattuna täällä olen todellinen tomboy :D hassua!

Fashion Week FW13 Favourites

Made a little selection of my F/W13 Fashion Week Favourites from London, Milan and New York so far. Feel so inspired, I think I'm going to use these images as inspiration already now, it's perfect for the cold Tokyo weather!

 

Oh Oh OH how I love Phillip Lims casual chic laid-back looks! I would do anything to get my hands on that Phillip Lim coat and sport it next fall. Army green leather combined with white and grey is also a winner!

Prabal Gurung managed to make a very feminine version of the army trend, I haven't really liked the peplum trend this season but seen it like that, in a heavy olive green fabric makes me want to dress like that too!

WOW! Very unlike Paul Smith I think, but so great! The Pant-Suit trend is going to be big this summer, and I like how he took that concept and made it more oversized and casual.  And as in the Dagmar show, Paul Smith also makes me crave for that deep, intense violet. 

Note to self: Get Pink or red suit. NOW.

The Blumarine coats were great this season! In cold Tokyo right now I just want to wrap myself up in one of those fluffy, soft, warm jackets. The La La Berlin boots also caught my attention, so great! I can smell a DIY-option for them...

Glad to see prints are continuing into next season. I think it's more fun when fashion isn't too dark and serious ;) Definately going to use that matching turtleneck-sweater thing next season, and I would love a La La Berlin like print pattern coat to cheer up everyday dressing! A piece like that gives any kind of outfit a kick.
Roberto Cavalli also surprised me, I usually don't fall for that over-the-top-italian-glam fashion, but seen it like this in only black and white with different patterns, materials, textures and sparkles, it could be optimized and made into a bit more casual, cool look.

Navy Babe.

BOOM! Photo explosion today!! It was such a beautiful and warm day and we really took it easy and chilled so we had time to play around with the camera! Only two days left in Hong Kong and then Tokyo awaits!!

What do you think of my bargain founds from the local ladies market? Alexander Mcqueen inspired skull clutch, studded slippers and big round sunglasses!

STHLM Fashion Week Day 1

I have been organizing our move from the appartament today so I just had time for a quick stop to see Marimekkos show today! Dressed in an all blues outfit! It was so nice to finally see some Finnish design here on th Stockholm Fashion Week :) And marimekko has taken a huge step out of the older-generation-dressing-business! Bold prints and fun colours, I think everyone enjoyed the show.

Double Trouble.

 

I stumbled upon this electric blue turtleneck yesterday at the Mango sales! A few years back I would never even had imagined that I would one day wear a slouchy knit blue turtleneck... funny how style changes! Even though I've always liked being able to look feminine one day, grungy the other, and so on, I guess I'm slowly but surely taking my style in only one direction.. Am I getting old??

I also got this ring from Weekday for a insignificant 15kr! (about 2€..) 

Icy Rainbow.

 

Coat/H&M Trend, Platforms/Monki, Flower Shirt/Bikbok, Bag/H&M

Today's! Who said flowers and pastels are not for the winter??These colours give me strength for the long await for warmer weather!
A bit girly girly I know, but hey, sometimes you need to create the sunshine and rainbows if you don't have them ;) Now I'll go for a session at the physiotherapist for my neck and then I'll catch the boat to Finland! (Sounds like I'm catching a bus haha, not a 12hour boatride...)

New In: Winter Flowers

 

Flower sleeveless shirt/Monki 

I'm not really ever a flower girl, even in summer, but somehow the idea of wearing them in winter inspires me more. These colours are so wonderfully cold and icy too! I think even just a glimpse of the collar showing underneath a thick white knitted sweater will look great!

Coming Soon

These kobolt blue boots are to die for! From the new Vagabond collection, coming to stores soon.
I'm a big fan of Vagabond since I always put comfort first, and 80% of their shoes are the most comfortable shoes you will ever try! Good for working and walking around the city.

Perfect Fall Coat

 

Brics, 130€

Fall has already arrived in Scandinavia, and I am TIRED of all the black coats!! When a whole country gets a bit greyish and faints away, the only thing that can cheer me up is colour.

I was ecstatic when I found this orange and pale baby blue wool coats from BRICS, and you can also find the model in white, striped, (black) and a yummy pale light yellow.

Love their lookbook and the styling, layering in the same colour-scheme is definately going to be my guideline for dressing this fall!
