A friend of us got the perfect apartment. I love every little detail. She has this nice white wooden floor, white furniture, white details, white white white where ever you look.
The poster gives the apartment the right personal edge, because they all got and transport a personal meaning. Especially the moose is such a great piece. Some people just know how to do it right. I love your apartment, Charlotta! …
We both lived in Cologne for a couple of years so from time to time we visit family and friends. Of course a walk trough Ehrenstrasse also belongs to the program. ;) It’s one of the main shopping areas of the city. One nice little shop also opened it’s doors there. In a small street just around the corner the “Kisd shop” is showing and selling stuff the students of the international design school produce. I totally liked the lamps and public pillow. If you also want to see some nice design ideas, the online site or shop are definitely worth a visit:

I think you can compare Swedish fashion with the fashion from Australia. The fashion from both countries has clean cuts, great colors and lives from there young interpretation of seen stuff. That’s the reason why I love fashion from those contries. If you have taken a look at the last wishlishes you saw some stuff from “Shakuhachi” from Australia. As I looked trough their lookbook I was getting wild. So crazy. They have a really huge collection with more than 50 styles and I liked almost everything. The transparent fabrics and the gourgeous colors are great and they are doing shoes aswell. How is that possible? Have a look on your own. Really impressive.…

I needed a sleeve for my new Macbook and usually my choice would have been another Incase Neoprene Sleeve like I got for my Macbook Pro. Unfortunately there are none in the size 11inch yet so I had to start diggin’ or wait until Incase comes up with something. Of course I couldn’t wait so I searched the web end ended up at Etsy that I usually connect with girl-stuff. But here I found a few handmade versions of sleeves and ended up buying this one by Pack & Smooch, a guy that happens to live in Hamburg as well. It just fits the adapters I need and feels well worth the money. Love it!

Since we are having a lot of readers that are not from Sweden or Germany, this wishlist is all about my favorite swedish shop “Weekday“. “Weekday” belongs to “H&M” like “Cos“, “Monki” and “Cheap Monday“. Whenever I go into “Weekday” I come out with something. No wonder, it is clean and classic, oversized and blank swedish design. I love those items. If you don’t know “Weekday” yet you should risk a look. For the ones who know it, they have a new nice looking website.
Today’s favorite is this oversized ruffle dress that I saw on “Pixiemarket“. It is “My Pets Square“. Do you remember? I wrote about them a while ago and showed the lookbook. Anyway, I really like it.
Yesterday, “Minimarket” presented their video lookbook on “Rodeo“. I like this trend to show a video instead of only using pictures!
Direction: Sandberg&Timonen (adamsky)
DOP: Peter Gehrke (adamsky)
Stylist: Ingela Klemetz (adamsky)
Oh yes, “Modekungen” is doing it well. Transparent, nude tones, pastell and prints. So bad that I still have to save all my money for our vacation.
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!
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.
It is all about layer after layer to make it in those cold days ;) Have a good start into this fresh new week.
(Dress-Cos, Hoodie-Stüssy, Shoes-FlipFlop, Jacket-Silence & Noise )
“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.
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 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,…
