Get The Trend
TARTAN




'Walk Through Walls' by MARINA ABRAMOVIC  –  Double-breasted checked blazer from MAYLA  –  Sunglasses from MANGO  –  Stockholm T-shirt from TOTÊME  –  Curved stud earrings from COS  –  Original denim light blue from TOTÊME  –  Chain leather bag from MANGO  –  Pocket bristle brush from MASON PEARSON  –  Velvet slingback from MANGO.


This is how I would style the tartan trend. I prefer to put the blazer in the spotlight, to work as the key player. As we all know, this pattern can easily calls good ol grandma to mind, but to avoid and weigh this up I choose a pair of relaxed fit denim in a lighter wash. To make it all pop I go for a bag in red (which is another big trend for autumn/winter), cat eye sunnies and a slingback with a lower heel. Love these Dior-inspired velvet ones from Mango. Though I normally prefer gold instead of silver I go for the later in this case. Silver will add freshness and a much more modern feeling to the outfit. These earrings are spot on. And the book and hairbrush? Well, they're still on my wish list.





Friday With Forni




Hola beauties! How are you? Awesome I hope. I definitely am. It's Friday, I just got home from work and my sister is "in town"! And talking about her – look what she got me in birthday present! Jag är inte perfekt, tyvärr (I'm not perfect, unfortunately) by Michaela Forni. I have a feeling there will be a lot of things I can relate to among these pages... So, couch next to find out!


Wishing you a lovely weekend! x

On My Mind
RAVISHING RED





So, it's been a while and I'm sorry for that. All my waking hours I've spent at work. It's been so busy now when Christmas is around the corner. Thankfully I got a few hours off today so, inspired by the current season, I couldn't resist putting together what I have had in mind lately.



It's said to be a Oscar contender, this intimate portrait of Jackie Kennedy (starred by beautiful Natalie Portman), the First Lady of America in the 1960s. As she is considered to be one of the greatest style icons through history, I hope to get some real style inspiration from this film. Here in Sweden, Jackie is set to be released at the beginning of next year and I just can't wait!


Always a winner. What better way to celebrate the Santa season than with a classic red lip? Personally I go for an organic and cruelty free alternative. Right now I'm very curious to try the Canadian (now LA-based) brand, ILIA. Any experiences?


One of the most inspirational performance artists out there, Marina Ambramovic, recently published her memoirs – 'Walk through walls'. So curious to get a glimpse inside the mind of this powerful woman and her works. 


THE MANICURE
Classic red nails by all means, but now I want to twist it up with a little pink, just like Emilia de Poret. So fresh! 


DOWN UNDER
Of course you need a party pantie! I just realized I don't own any red underwear so I guess now is the perfect time to invest in some. Lace is always a winner.


If I had the dollars I wouldn't hesitate a second. These stardust stilettos from Christian Louboutin would make you shine brightest on all the upcoming feasts. When you wish upon a star...

Parisian Chic





For years I've been wanting this book and now suddenly it's mine! I've always been a fan of the Parisian women. It's something so effortless yet sexy about their style that's always so on point. Now I just can't wait to get lost among all these stylish pages, written by Ines de la Fressange & Sophie Gachet.




"Sensuality doesn't come from heels – especially if you can't walk in them. It's like a beautiful woman who has the perfect hair and makeup, but doesn't smile. You should dress to feel good, not show off. It takes life to learn that."

– Ines de la Fressange
