Beautifully cold




As you can see I thought I would just quickly check out some archives from StockholmStreetStyle as I'd missed out on a lot while I was away.

I am sitting here with my laptop balanced on my knees, craning my neck, my nose close to the monitor, completely glued.

Isn't this girl sweet? Yet here she reminds me of the wicked White Witch of Narnia. I love that!

Frou frou


Don't they remind you of beautifully wrapped sweets?

Play me Greensleeves...

Just had to share as soon as I laid eyes on it.

Mad Print Job

Prints are going to be huge in upcoming collections. They provide a lot of room for creativity while still appealing to most people's appreciation of aesthetics, colour and contrast.

Erdem Moralioglu is a London-based designer with a penchant for custom-designed silk prints, sharp tailoring and bold colour palettes. Three things I am completely mad for at the moment. I especially love the evening gowns, ruffle top and skirt combinations in his latest Autumn/Winter '10 Collection:



Aren't they utterly romantic and playful? He graduated from the Royal College of Arts only 7 years ago and his label is about 5 years old. The inaugural British Fashion Council/UK Vogue Designer Fashion Fund recently awarded him £200,000 to help spearhead the development of his label into a global fashion label.



Zac Posen's latest AW10 collection resonates similar whimsical notes: interesting forms, mixed textures and embellished prints. I love the panelling on the dresses. (The little red velvet piece is a slightly odd one out in the following photos... adorable and somewhat opulent at the same time, isn't it?)

"The freaks are outside..."

NEWS UPDATE!
I know I've been terribly MIA but things will pick up I promise.









1. Exciting bits: Lady Gaga's concert was mind-blowing.
2. Sad bits: They played Michael Jackson before the show, and no one knew the words...
3. Amusing bits: Grazia loved my Urban Outfitters boots so much, I made it into Grazia's Bounty Hunter! Caption "No pants, well done!" (I was wearing a bathing suit under a mini skirt.)
4. Recommended bits: Malaysia, namely Kuala Lumpur/Langkawi/Koh Lipeh/Melakka, was cheap, fun, relaxing, beautiful, breathtaking, tiring, exciting, thrilling, old and new all at once.
5. Ideas for Easter Saturday: indulge in some Haigh's Easter eggs, order a latte and an Avacado Hommus on Toast served with Honeyed Bacon and Dukkah at Duke's Coffee Roasters on Chapel St, drop into Papucci a few doors down for sales of up 75% off Nude/Siren/RMK shoes.
