Sexy with your XL hair down like Lily Donaldson.

À la Parisienne with your parka effortlessly slung over your shoulders. Perfect! I mean we don’t want our expensive COATS to fall off and get lost forever…Read more here.

Accessorized with tan leather pieces like a polished Chloé bag or wrap-around bangles for a nice contrast. Works all the time!

Rough-looking – the ultimate in effortless cool. It admittedly takes a bit of courage to tear up your military shirt at the shoulders – for fashion pros only!

The cute way – with a cozy hooded parka, a matching full skirt and those Chloé booties from F/W 2009. Just gorgeous!

Camouflage – it’s the new thing! Make sure you team this with another trendy pattern (like leo) and lots of chunky jewelry.

Camouflage II - invest in a camouflage print silk dress or bag from Prada’s pre-fall collection. Fail-safe!
Will do an edit on which pieces are worth buying into but need to do a store-check first!
Promise to be back soon for more;-)!

French Vogue’s Masquerade Ball on the occasion of their 90th anniversary is already history! Thanks to Jak&Jil I came across these marvelous pics on icanteachyouhowtodoit.com and picked out a few favourites for you;-)! Bon anniversaire, Paris Vogue!

Freja Erichsen

Les Coupines favourite Leigh Lezark

Vanessa Traina with Alexander Wang – they make such a cute couple, don’t they?

Tyra Banks pulling off the spider web

One of my favourites! I think this is so hippie-esque – definitely quite the vibe for the new season!

And here’s the party crowd! Enjoy:-)!

Aaah, I just LOVE Paris by night! Here’s a couple of quick shots I took when we were heading out for dinner. Nati came straight from a 12 hour-day at the office dressed like that. I adore how she casually set off her workwear staples (classic black pumps & a cute little tweed jacket) with a vintage hat and a glitzy Isabel Marant skirt. She is such a doll, isn’t she;-)?

In between packing for Dubai, detoxing, running errands, trying to make a million things work out, going out with my friends and wasting my time on dates I somehow found a minute to flip through the pics from my Paris weekend. I promise i will share everything with u guys! Sonner or later…So long here’s a snapshot taken on our night out “rive gauche” which was probably the coolest partying I had in years. Paris, you got me!

Jil Sander’s second collection for the Japanese high-street giant Uniqlo launches today! And I want everything. Somehow Mrs. Sander always manages to get her clean minimalist chic across and even add a sophisticated touch to high-street basics. Oh and Vogue Paris darling Raquel Zimmermann doesn’t hurt either:-). Nat, can you PLEASE make the queue and get me that camel trench coat???

Am being modest as ever when it comes to my wishlist for weekend shopping:-). Sought-after pieces include Céline, YSL and some Isabel Marant – I could atually use her whole collection! But I am focussing on some great basics instead. Here’s what:
1. On top of my list is this amazing two-toned Céline shopper. It’s simple, pure, practical and still incredibly chic. Need that!
2. I need RED Repettos for walking around during the day
3. And some spectacular, chunky-heeled YSL suede wedges that goes with black opaques as well (cause it’s about time to drag these out again!)
4. My favourite lace piece is this Paul & Joe mini skirt which I will pull up onto my waist
5. and eventually tuck a simple wool sweater into. This Isabel Marant one has the perfect cut with accentuated shoulders and slim fit.
6. A splash of color on my nails brightens up my day. It’s silly – but works! Chanel has the best red shades.
7. Last but not least I am still on my Parisian high and that’s why I need a cool fedora ASAP. Found this brand through ELLE UK.
7 things, that’s it! May birthday come soon!

Darie Werbowy definitely knows how to rock her purple Balmain biker pants. She brings Balmain back to glory for ME.
If you dare trying (and sneaking a peek at the price!) this suede leather masterpiece go here!

Hotel Amour, Paris on a Sunday in May.
Have you ever been? If not, this is definitely one of the must-see places for your next Paris trip! It’s a very special place. In every sense.

Nati checking in.

Et voilà! The best-ever breakfast I had in Paris / France in general. They even have a terrace with a little garden (which TRUST ME can be very calming after a weekend packed with shopping, running around town and partying!). I remember that I loved the atmosphere at Hotel Amour. And the delicious croissants :-).

More Paris pics coming soon! I am so ready to go and search for new inspirations.
Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

Maje Lookbook F/W 2010


The Maje F/W 2010 lookbook sums up pretty well what I wanna dress like this fall. Camel blazers & capes, leather, lace, a great classic suit, leo accessories and a dash of bright RED. Perfect. Maje is definitely one of the many things I look forward to seeing in Paris:-).
P.S.: They chose Vanessa Traina to be the face of their new campaign. Seriously, how cool is that?

I only just realized how beautiful Chloé’s latest bag coup -named Darla tote- is when I saw it sitting on the desk of my co-worker. It looks like a more polished version of the trendy satchel bags hanging off the arm of every fashion savvy girl in town now. Plus I fall for black soft-looking leather with golden hardware everytime :-). What do you think, fellow bag lovers?
