Favorite swedish cutie monster “Monki” shows its interpretation of spring in the sweatest way. Even Philipp said that this is really cute. ;) So, now we know! Stripes, nude tones, pastell and nylon can’t be wrong this year. Thank you for this so nice and cute demonstration! We love you “Monki“. You are huge, but still kind of independent.
Miss swedish designer-queen “Carin Wester” is launching her SS210 those days. This time I have an eye on the shoes. They look like the “Opening Ceremony shoes“. Doesn’t matter to me, they both look nice and the clothes!? Clean and nice cuts like allways! She can’t do it wrong. I don’t think that’s possible.
“Motel” is one of the brands I always have an eye on. They come up with new stuff really often, sometimes a few times a season. Maybe you know “Motel” from “Asos” or “Topshop“. The last months they get more and more popular in the states as well. I think that’s the reason why they produced such a nice lookbook. I hope it works! Cross the fingers for them!
EDIT: If you wish to order anything on the “Motel Webshop“, use the discount code “youneak” and get 15% off! Thank you, Motel!
Well, there are not many labels that I find interesting over a longer period. Most just come up with strange stuff loosing their original spirit trying to find ways to make it in the business. Mishka though is a small label that appears to have found its niche. Check out their new collection at Monkeybizz. I still wonder why they haven’t found their way to Germany yet, or have they?

Okay okay, I see you also like digging at eBay. The stats of the eBay postings told me this little secret. Then let me indroduce my favorite new eBayer “Meat Market“. I’m so in love with this polka dot dress and the Chanel two-tone sunglases. OHHH I LOVE THEM!!!!! But ok, back to “Meat Market“. Great styling and some really nice items. You can follow them on “Facebook“, “Twitter” and “Myspace“. Tzzzz all those social media things. I’m getting old. Meat Market, where is your blog!? ;)
I don’t know what it is, but there is something that makes me stare at those two peaces of the pre-spring collection from “Horn van Bö“. The two designers Sara van Bö und Jörn Horn say something about understatement on their website. Yeah, may be that is what I like about those two items: Understatement with loads of small details.
Blogger sweetheart “Karlascloset” opened her own “Online Shop” those days. It is becoming more and more popular that bloggers do their own buissness. Nice to see, because they are have a really specific knowlegde about what people want to buy. Hopefully Karla is building it a bit because whenever I’m looking into her shop, everything is sold out. No wonder, because she offers some really hot prices!
Friday is eBay-day, because “Liebe Marlene” is updating her shop on thursdays. For european people, kind of friday because of the time-shift. ;) Some of you, the german part, may think it is a german shop, but “Liebe Marlene” is american. She is also writing a blog with the same name. I like her american vintage style. Everything looks pure and authentic about her. I like if someone like her is so detailed about their style! It can be any style but you need to feel that it is real and I can feel “Liebe Marlene“. That not so often and outstanding to me.
Oh yeah, time for a change, it is nearly spring. I like to wear some “more spring like” stuff ;)

Swedish invasion today, like always. ;) The last lookbook of “Permanent Vacation” last summer was really everywhere to see. No blog without the romanic looking pictures of “Permanent Vacation“. This year they follow their line and come out with a high-quality lookbook but still in a romanic way. Last summer we met Emma Harling at a “Showroom evening” where she was presenting her stuff. A really nice person.
It is all about layer after layer to make it in those cold days ;) Have a good start into this fresh new week.

“Patouf” was showing the new collection for A/W 2010 – 2011 as well. I have to say that I saw the logo before but I didn’t see anything from the collections. Really wearable stuff. On the website they say: Creating feminine chic yet with a girly touch. That’s really on point. I also like the SS Collection 2010 that you find on the website.
The last years summer, Philipp and I went to the “Saga Lova Show” and we both really liked it. May be it was not so Hope, not so Acne, not so Filippa K, but still swedish in a way. “Saga Lova” is one of those swedish labels that are going their own way. For me personally, always a highlight if someone tries to do something special and not step into anyone elses footsteps. I like! I also like the coat and that the designer did not use real fur! You need to know: Swedish people like real fur! I hate it, even if it is vintage. So if you have some time, have a look at the “Saga Lova website“.
Today, “SpaltPr” opened the doors for a pressday with the new A/W 2010-2011 collections of “Saga Lova“, “Matilda Wenelboe“, “Patouf” and “Ulrika Sandström“. At the moment I have really a lot to do at work so that nearly couldn’t make it. Yeah but somehow I always find 5 minutes somewhere. ;)
So work was calling and I had to hurry up. All the designers where inhouse and it was a nice atmosphere. It was sad that I didn’t have some more time to spend to ask “Ulrika Standström” some things about her collections. I was kind of surpised about it, but in a good why! I’m a huge fan of her and I like her feminine style. The new collection looks really London-Like with a schwedish edgy kind look. Clean cuts and great materials. I like and fell in love with a jumpsuite again. Later more about the other designers and some pictures.
I can’t stop looking at eBay. ;) So if we are talking about eBay and Vintage stuff, we have to talk about “American Vintage“. I think it is the blogger’s favorite eBay store. It is full of nice and good sorted stuff for both girls and BOYS! I can’t say which one my favorite dress or my favorite shoes are. Everything looks good in a way. Shit, that’s so bad. I want really everything. They are presenting it in a too good way. The styling really is an eyechatcher!
Since the “Weekday Pressday” last summer I was waiting for the release day of the transparent shoes. Yesterday was the day as I found them in the Weekday Shop on Södermalm. Ok, it is still too cold but the day will come and then I will be the happiest person on the road. ;) Even Philipp likes them and it’s not so often that he is up with something that is not a sneaker. ;) I also like the transparent shirt and the fringe jacket. Looks a bit like the Acne fringe jacket just in a cheaper version.
I like this moment when the season’s are changing and the shops fill up the stores with new stuff! The new season feels as reachable as spring right now. “Topshop” has been pushing in the new collections since a few weeks and I like what I see. When the new seasons start I always have some last season favorites left and I’m sad that I didn’t buy them. Even when they are on sale, because I will spend all my money for new stuff. ;)
PS: I’m still searching for a bag ;)
This “Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair” dress has been following me for days. I see it where ever I am. Like today when I was in the city and it was hanging in a window. A few days ago I also saw it at “Styleserver“. The shape and the silk, just nice!
As I wrote in the beginng, Philipp and I went to just to a few shows this week because we both had to work a lot. We just picked the ones we really wanted to see. “Minimarket” was our favorite and as expected really colorful and bright! Nobody uses clean cuts, patterns and bright colors in such a good way. Needless to say the shoes are a class of it’s own! Let’s buy some, like my colleague last week. The right shoes make your life so much better! Sorry for the unsharp pictures, the flashlight was making strange things the whole week. I guess it’s time for a new one. Next to us was a blogger from Norway, Vanillascented. Sympatisch.
The atmosphere at the “Odeur” show yesterday was sooo my type. Slow minimalistic music, minimalistic moves, no extras, just the “Odeur” stuff. Totally wearable and so Stockholm like. I had my colleagues in mind the whole time cause they would totally fit in that stuff. Please buyers, go for it. There is just one little point: Next time better shoes please. I don’t wanna see “Vagabondd” on a Fashion show like this.
“Beckmans” is a Stockholm based Design-High-School that had a show yesterday. Nine students were showing their stuff. I like the kind of backbone leather jacket and the three other jackets of Maria Jenjé Lundqvist. The woman next to me said something like: “I just saw the new “Christian Lacroix” in Alexander Krantz.” Hm, I don’t know. Make up your own mind on the “Backmans XV – Mircrosite“.
I don’t know what the most exciting moment at the “Cheap Monday Show” was. The school-travel like busride to the middle of nowhere with a bunch of fashion-addicts, standing with 400 other people in front of the location, to see all the bloggers from all over the world like “Anywho“, the 3 girls from denmark which where sitting behind us, “Susie Bubble” or all the swedish ones on the other side. Hard to say, but it was a funny evening with a lot of swedish teenagers. See all the “Cheap Monday show pictures on the website.
I’m just in from a few show and will have to prepare some stuff. Here is the first look to the other side of my seat of the “Odeur-Show“. Nahhh, do you recognize anyone? ;)
Yesterday I was wearing a “Cos Dress” and some “Underground Creepers“. Yes, of course it is Fashion Week and normally is everyone is wearing some really nice shoes. The weather is so bad and we had to walk a while to the “Cheap Monday Show” so I put one some walking shoes. The place was like little Mekka. You could see so many fashion pilgrims walking down that road in the habour area. Later more.
“Stockholm Fashion Week by Berns” is starting and I’m post some danish Designer, that’s sooo buuuuh, I know. I really need to, because “Designers Remix Collection” do some nice work there. I don’t know which is the northern fashion captial. Some say Stockholm, some say Copenhagen. I would say: both are quite nice in their own way. So let’s go and see what Stockholm is offering this week.
Tomorrow the “Stockholm Fashion Week by Berns” starts and we are going to see a few shows. Hopefully we have enough time to see a lot, because we both have to work next week. We’ll see as much as possible! I can’t wait to see the outfits of all the visitors, it’s still -14 up to -22 everyday and also snowing. ;) But I’m sure that swedish people have a plan b for weather like this. So may be we will see you at shows like Minimarket, Cheap Monday, Odeur, Beckmans XV,…
Yesterday, I was at the “Acne Store” on Södermalm to try on the striped and really long dress as well as have a look at the leather fringe jacket that I never could buy because it is too expensive. ;) The dress wasn’t in, but the Leo Desert Boots of the Pop Collection. Unfortunately not in my size, schnief. The funny thing is, I’ve been stareing at them since the first post about the Acne Pop Collection. Then yesterday, I also read a short interview with the Creative Director of Acne, Jonny Johansson, in the “Nylon Magazine“. The question was: The one thing people will go mad for? The answer: The Leopard-Hair shoes. Oh, he is sooo right!!!! I will go mad for them.
