MEN WITH A TWIST

So I'm back in London to do another term at London College of Fashion! Haven't been blogging for a while now because I'm focused on this term's main assignment: FIND A TREND!

However, If someone was asking me where I wish to be located the most right now, I would answer MILAN! Obviously because the Men's Fashion Week have started, and the place is crowded of bold men who know's how to put their very own signature on their outfits. Tommy Ton capture's this the best, of course, who else? For ya Norwegian guys: Look and learn.

CHUNKY



Apparently, the winter hasn't decided to let go quite yet here in Norway. This chunky, knitted sweater would be perfect for every day use right now. I think I would feel like a giant spool of woolen yarn while wearing this - not such a bad feeling when it's cold.

My dad's old fisher hat is pretty cool! It has the most perfect brim.

STYLISH THINKING



ONE OF MY FIRST FASHION MEMORIES
When I was a little girl, visiting my grandparents was especially fun during the summer. My grandmother had this gorgeous baby blue and white summer dress waiting for me every time I was their guest. I loved to play around in the sun and eat strawberries from my grandfather's strawberry field while wearing it. That dress was a true treasure to me.


SHOPPING IS A PLEASURE
..when I find everything I'm looking for. Or if I'm in a bad mood, and need to cheer up. Or if I'm in a fabulous city where the selection of shoes and couture is beyond amazing!


ONE OF THE MOST TREASURED ITEMS IN MY WARDROBE
..has to be my Marc Jacobs Hobo Hillier bag. It comes with me wherever I go. That bag was the first designer item I ever bought. After many hours of hard work, I decided that it was about time for me to be a bit extravagant!


ONE FASHION MOMENT I WON'T FORGET
..is the first time I attended Fashion Week in the capital of Norway. To see bloggers, designers and several inspiring people all together in one place was completely new to me. Not to mention another moment that certainly will remain in my memory; The day Elle UK spotted me and Kari in Oxford Street.


MY TRADEMARK
..has to be black liquid eyeliner. I never go anywhere without!

THE STRONGEST GIRL IN THE WORLD IS ALSO MY FASHION MUSE

One of the most magnificent gifts I got for christmas was the one To me from me. I bought myself the whole DVD collection of Pippi Longstocking, who really, really amuses me. She's not aiming to be a fashion icon to her audience, but to me she is the most fashionable child ever created. Even though she's fictional she is the most alive person I've ever seen. If you ask me, being a fashion icon isn't really much about what you wear. It's about your imagination behind it, your attitude and your creativity. Pippilotta Viktualia Rullegardine Krusemynte Efraimsdatter is, and will forever remain, MY NUMBER ONE FASHION MUSE.

How?


Wherever she goes, she does a fashionable and proud arrival.


Her clothing. She does the opposite of expected.


Her oh so fashionable resident Villa Villekulla. If I buy myself a house in the future it will look like Pippi's. (It will be hard to find a man who deals with me.)


Her fashionable and loyal friends Tommy and Annika


Her unusual pets, the monkey Mr. Nilsson and her kitchen located horse Gubban. (This is precious to me as I hate usual pets like cats and dogs. UGH.)


The fashionable way she sleeps - the opposite of expected. And her way too big shoes due to having the possibility to shake her toes. (Lol.)


The fashionable way she's watering her flowers in the rain, because if she has decided to do something she does it either way.

Her fashionable bag of golden coins which she got of Captain Efraim, her dad.


Her fashionable ability and imagination to go into other roles.


The fashionable way she buys the whole candy shop.


Her fashionable generosity, when mixing all kinds of medicine together to children in the slums, sending it through a sewer



When she arranges fashionable parties she does it properly and whole hearted.


She is the most fashionable strongest girl in the world.


Her fashionable teeth which is strong enough to eat nails.


The fashionable way her father let her do what she wants all the time.


Her fashionable adventures.


In general, her way of life.

PRE-FALL







At the first moment I laid my eyes on Chanel's pre-fall 2011 collection, I wasn't particularly stunned. That was before I got to see some proper close-ups of the details. Just look at the embroideries, the jewelry and the accessories! Pure flawlessness.

Hope all of you had a blast last night, celebrating the upcoming new year! I most certainly had a great ending of 2010 partying with my fabulous friends.

Happy new year to everyone!

Would be amazing to wear these shoes from Alberto Guardiani for the upcoming christmas parties. They would rule the dance floor.
