Bag Stella McCartney, Jacket Rag and Bone, Sweater COS, Boots Baker Black

A normal Sunday with the family... wearing all black...

Sacai...

I actually liked the Sacai collection a lot when I first saw the pictures on style.com , very cute indeed.

However, I like them even more now that I know that several of the runway looks are actually "all in one"; in the sense that the jacket, the blouse and the skirt are all attached together with buttons so that it is actually just one piece, like putting on 1 garment instead of 3.

So this is an example of how I like to wear my new entries.. (see below)

Finally got them...

So I have been long for these Isabell Marant boots for a while now. And now they have finally made their entry in my closet.

They are just the perfect everyday shoe, I have mostly been wearing them with short skirts and simple tops. Will try to post picture later.

Wang coming up...

This is a small preview of Alexander Wang bags for SS 12... Feels far away but is actually right arounf the corner!

I'm even starting to long for autumn... Weird, considering that we still have to go on vacation...

Back in Milan...

Sorry for my absence

This has been to blame... Have spent a wonderful week in St. Tropez only to come home to a rainy Italy. 

Jumping in Milan...

I went shopping in Milan, what you see above is basically all Zara except the bag that is Chanel.
Love shopping at Zara and HM... I think it is in my blood being half Swedish and so...

On my way to the park...

Inner court Milan...

 

This as you can see has nothing to do with fashion but I liked it... Milan is like this, the more you look the more you will find and many times you get a nice surprise.

In Milan...

This is what I wore today, ZARA skirt, Alternative Apparel t-shirt, Sam Edelman boots and necklace H&M.

My bracelets at the moment...

BIBI, Rosa Maria and ...

I used to have all these small bracelets that you tie on your arm and never take of.. One of them I wore for 2 years I think. I recently cut them all of, couldn't stand them anymore.

This is what my arm looks like today. The little chain with the cross I basically never take of, had it for almost 4 years, it's from Rosa Maria that makes wonderful jewelery. The "big" bracelet is my latest addition, just dresses you up even if you are in jeans and t-shirt, it is from BIBA, can't seem to find any homepage though... will keep looking. And finally the orange one a handmade little bracelet gifted from a friend of my boyfriend.

Another Saturday...

For some reason all the post where I actually put pictures of myself are from Saturdays... this is mainly due to the fact that I usually don't have anyone to take the picture, Stella is still a little small...

Weather here has been really weird with grey sky and rain... so here goes for spring in Italy!

Sam Edelman boots, SHINE Jeans, Chanel bag, vintage blouse and cardigan from Inhabit

Bracelets...

I love bracelets, always have done.... when I was younger I was obsessed and I made them myself, I still continue to buy pearls on random occasions thinking that I will have the time to make bracelets or other nice things but I never seem to find the time. A year ago in Stockholm I lost a bag of just purchased pearls in the taxi on the way to the airport, €60 worth of pearls.

Having accepted the fact that I wont be doing them myself I like to look at what others do... These are my list "find" in the sense that I am looking but not buying just now.


Frieda and Nellie they make "friendship bracelets" with a twist...

Saturday In The Park

h

Balenciaga motorcycle bag, Shine military pants, vintage sunglasses (Sunday market find!), vintage velour blazer and daughter's Monchichi. Perfect Saturday!

 Being a mom I often find myself wanting to dress in a certain way and ending up dressing in a completely different way. I used to love heels, I wore them all the time, I even walked to work on my beloved heels. Nowadays I don't get to wear them too often. Most of all because most of my time is spent in parks and other child friendly (read not heels friendly) places.

So this is what a normal day in the park can look like for me with the accessories to go (here pictured a giant Monchichi, obviously courtesy of my daughter.)

What hair color can do for you.... (part 2)

I would love changing my haircolor radically, I have actually been blond, black, redish, black/blue etc etc. In November I went copper color and though I was convinced that I would love it at the end I just felt uncomfortable. So I leave it to others that obviously pull it of a lot better than I did and admire thier locks from far away...

Taylor Tommasi Hill is another woman that we have seen a lot of the last seasons on different blogs. She does dress very well as well but I think that one of the reasons that she obviously attracts attention is her red hair, her very red hair. Who she is? She used to be the accessories director for teen Vogue and is currently with Maire Claire and I heard through the grapewine that she is soon to be working as the new fashion director for Barney's New York.

What hair color can do for you... (part 1)

I have to admit to be quite in to fashion blogs, I love looking at them for inspiration, or just out of curiosity, to see what people wear. Looking at all these people I sometimes ask myself what the people in  the pictures have that appeal the photographer.

Personally I started following the Sartorialist more or less when it started, at the time there weren't as many blogs doing this... anyways, my point... I don't know what my point was. 


Nowadays you tend to see the same people everywhere... Anna Dello Russo with 
random hats or golden cherries on her head...

But then you also find people like Elisa Nalin, originally from Verona, Italy but now lives in Paris where she styles and designs shoes. She is one of the people that has to have been on almost every street style blogs this season. She used to be light brown but has gone platinum blonde and personally I really like it! And she is suddenly all over... (pictures below are randomly taken from the great web, The Sartorialist, Garance Doree etc no credit intended!)

She does have a very special style but I like it, I don't think that I could pull it of where I live even though I would love to...

On the Selby you can see her house, the pictures are from 2008 if I am not mistaken.
