Remix

Filed in: Accessories, Fashion, Handbags, Jewelry, Shoes, Street Fashion

We normal people (meaning not celebs) don’t have to worry about having millions of people judge what we wear on a daily basis. That gives us room to have more fun while getting dressed. I picked some fun details from different outfits at Wardrobe Remix to give you some ideas.

Paris #1

Filed in: Designers, Fashion

Viktor & Rolf

Are the “hats” to match the fishnet stockings? This collection takes the funeral look I have written about earlier to a whole new level. Cause the weird face nets reminds me of those net hats women use in funerals, in addition a great deal of the collection concists of black clothes. Even though it might sound depressing, it’s not at all in my opinion. The clothes are generally so sweet and innocent and it creates a contrast to the black and imprisoned look. In this collection we also see more volume around the hip area.

What I liked the most about this collection was how underwear was used in the outfits. I can’t really see myself walking around like that next winter, but the contrast can be applied into outfits in other ways. A slip over pants for example. Or wool and laces. There are many ways to play with the look.

“I Like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie…”

Good news for women with big hips, but not all these shapes are all that attractive.

Milan #5

Filed in: Designers, Fashion

Versace

We see some of the glamour as in Gucci’s collection, and that I love. Even though the collection is nice and all I don’t really feel blown away. I suspect that is morea matter of personal taste, cause I do think it is a good collection. What surprises me are the leggings. Notice girl number one: Iselin Steiro, one of the only girls Norway can brag about having in Milan.

Missoni

Some of this reminded me of Ana Sui’s spring collection with the light flowing dresses over leggings. I don’t mind the recemblance cause Sui’s collection was one of my favorites. And it’s not the same, by all means. You have got lovely fall colors in here and lovely patterns. Awsome looking layering. I love the way golden and silver fabrics are mixed in here and there.

missoni

Roberto Cavalli

A very glamorous collection, and not verable for most of us. I have picked some of the more down to earth outfits. The rest was full of fur and gowns in shiny fabrics. I love some of the ways that fur is mixed into the outfit here, like the fur collar to the suit. I think though that even though it looks great here, not many will pull of wearing fur with animal prints (even two kinds of fur). Prada had that same mix, and to me it’s just a little over the top. And even though I won’t run out to buy a fur coat, I will absolutely get inspired by some of these looks.

Sienna Miller

Filed in: Celebs, Fashion

miller sienna Many of you have probably already seen this picture of Sienna as it is a few days old, but I came to realize that she in a nice way puts together two of the looks I’ve been writing about lately: The slips and the black tights. What she’s wearing is probably not a slip, but finding a vintage slip with the same look won’t be hard.

Moschino

What strikes me first is the Scottish inspiration with the kilts and the checks. Not a look I usually find interesting, but I think it works here. There are alot of knee highs and arm warmers. I think the layering is lovely, and although I could wish for a little more color. This is one of the better ones though, except for some skinny shorts and other weird garments that pops up here and there.

Dolce & Gabbana

It’s like they have incorporated this seasons trend with buttons and decided to put buttons on everything. In other words, there were alot of outfits like the first one. Not a fan. There are some things I like here though, like the gold chain belts. Actually, there are some great outfits further out in the show, I just got scared by all the buttons in the start. Still not very impressed though.

Burberry Prorsum

One of my biggest favorites for spring so living up to that is hard, and it doesn’t reach all the way up. It’s fine, but nothing more in my book. There was an amazing quilted black coat though, but I didn’t include it here.

Alberta Ferretti

At first glance I can’t help to think that there is a little too much going on here. The dresses have so many details that even though I like them now, I might hate them tomorrow. I like my clothes to be much more simple so I can update them with accessories. Now people that have the money to buy these clothes don’t need to think the same way. I love the square shaped coat though. It’s really odd and I would probably never wear it, but it looks so interesting! I can’t take my eyes away from it.

Gucci

I just went “Oh, yes!” when I saw this. It’s exactly the kind of fun I miss from fashion elsewhere. This is perfect.

Back in the Flea Hunting Game

Filed in: Accessories, Fashion, Secondhand, Shoes, Shopping

This month I thought I’d do less shopping in stores and more shopping on flea markets. First of all I have to make sure my money last a little longer this time than last month. Secondly I feel like it’s been forever since I made some fun vintage finds. Here are some of the stuff I’ve come across the last few days.

fanny pack A few people has announced the return of the fanny pack. This has never been for me, but when I came across this weird fanny pack thing for a couple of dollars I just had to give it a shot. If the look doesn’t work for me I can remove the pack from the belt and have a perfectly fine leather belt.
studded belt This belt is for my motorcycle badass or punk rocker days. It cost me a dollar and is leather so it was all worth it.
polka dot umbrella Polkadots are hot for spring, and this plastic umbrella will get me in a rainy polkadot mood. Another dollar was spent on this one.
necklace chains I did a few H&M buys as well, and I got this necklace marked down 70%. I didn’t like it to begin with, but when I realized it was the exact same color as a handbag I bought secondhand (that is actually Topshop) I thought it could make a fun kind of 80’s outfit.
shoes These shoes I believe are really old, still they have never been worn. They’re in grey suede with leather soles and have cute little bows that doesn’t show very well on the picture. I gave five dollar for these. I don’t need them at all, but they’ll go straight into my collection.
belt Another belt that cost me a dollar. This one is for that wide cinched style. It’s wine colored velvet.
scarf Help me decide on the scarf. I realized that even though I live in one of the coldest countries in the world I have a very small selection of warm scarves. When I saw this it reminded me of Missoni and since it cost no more than four dollars I grabbed it. Now I’m wondering if I should take it back…

Marni

I was really excited to see this, so maybe that resulted in a slight disappointment. Don’t get me wrong: There’s a lot of great stuff here. I love the colors, the necklaces, the mix and match. But once in a while it didn’t get as great as I had expected.

Emilio Pucci

Is it only me or is this a little 90’s? The first outfit looks like something I wore back in those days. The colors make me uncomfortable and some of the patterns are too much. I am not thrilled, but there were some pieces I liked here.

Bottega Veneta

Love the checked skirt matched with the grey cardigan. There are actually many things I like about this collection. Not to mention the men’s outfits. I love the 50’s thing that seems to be evolving for our guys.

Prada

Half shapeless and half cave-womanish. Faded animal prints and lots of fur. I’m not feeling this. Not at all. Even the models look miserable.

Obsessed with the 80’s

Filed in: Fashion, Shopping

I am totally obsessed with the 80’s right now. I think the 80’s can be so much fun! Unfortunately I don’t have much 80’s in my wardrobe, except a bunch of accessories and shoes, a 80’s does 50’s dress and a Moschino skirt. I have spent hours on eBay searching for those perfect items, but who knew it could be so hard? I want those bright colored items with fun shapes! Like bright a colored belt with matching shoes, slouchy dress with low cut back and and a teal top with wide shoulders. Here are some stuff I found for others out there that might be in the same mood:

Emerald pumps, fun dress and red belt.

Did D&G copy Katie Holmes or did Katie Holmes copy D&G?

Milan #1

Filed in: Designers, Fashion

New York was a little disappointing and London was a major disappointment. So far I have found very little to be thrilled about. I keep my faith in that Milan and Paris will show us clothes we actually want to wear. So far it’s looking good in Milan.

Giorgio Armani

The collection mostly consists if skirt suits, and even though that may sound boring, it’s not. There are tons of unexpected shapes and colors. Important accessories are driving gloves, the clutch, an updated version of the beret and brooches. Of the brooches we see alot of butterflies, which is not excactly what you would expect for a fall collection. The bubble hem is also unexpectadly still here, but it looks new this time. The colors are as in most of the collections so far grey and black, but in this collection the garments make you forget about the lack of color. Several of the outfits are also brightened up with hot pink and bright blue.

Giorgio Armani

Jil Sander

Buy a black suit and a white shirt and you have nailed this look. Even though I think the manly taylored look can be great, I feel that this collection was like seeing the same outfit over and over again. What made the look a little more interesting was the patent leather platforms, and that’s the reason I at all chose to cover this collection. Still I feel that with the two outfits I picked, you have seen most of it.

Jil Sander

Salvatore Ferragamo

A strong mix of bright colored accessories with deep red and brown garments. I love the green gloves, the scarves the brown tights in bright shoes. Somehow I find it harder to describe the collections I really like, and I really like this one, so once again I’ll just have you look at the pictures to see what I mean.

D&G

Still on the all white for fall as for spring, and with the lack of white so far, it’s nice to see some now. Knits are huge here. You can bundle up in something warm and comfortable, but remember to show off you legs! No getting away from the shorts here. What I love most with this collection is the mix of heavy knits with underwear like garments. Maybe not very wearable for the most of us, but instead of underwear we can use laces. Have a look at the accessories, there are many I like here, like the headband and the huge white sungasses. What I hate are the furry boots and the moonboots. I never want to see those again! Some of the knits actually has classical Norwegian patterns, and I can’t say no to that. The proportions are weird but fun: cover up you torso and head bigtime, but let your legs be uncovered.
