Bye Marc

Dear Marc Jacobs,

I will truly miss you as the designer in chief of Louis Vuitton. But I'm also happy, now you will have more time to dedicate to your own brand.

You have performed spectacles, in the greatest meanings of this word. Carousels, escaletors and magic fairytales which made us feel like Alice in wonderland and as if You were our Madhatter.

Creative and cool, unique yet personal, a signature aesthetic that always included excitement and surprises.

No one will ever be able to replace you, because you are irreplacable. One of a kind.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for Bik Bok

A collaboration between The Row sisters and the norwegian brand: Bik Bok has been released during this week.

Yesterday, I swung by a Bik Bok store to look at the collection. As always with the collaborations, the fabrics looked cheap. Even the (real) leather jackets were shiny. They looked and felt like faux leather.

Sure, if you love the style of the siblings and will never afford any piece from The Row. Then it is just to buy everything you want.

But if you appreciate quality and craftmanship as I. You would rather save the money for a couple of years and buy somethings chic and timeless from The Row.That will last for ages and never go out of style, such as a leather jacket.

Marc Jacobs beauty-line

In a collaboration with the beauty-giant Sephora, Jacobs had launched a beauty line. A favorite designer of mine,since ever.Has finally maked it into the beauty departement.

Spreading excitement with the ''Marc the moment''-campaign, a countdown long before the line was launched.

It is MARC JACOBS, people, the most creative designer in the world. Like who would not check out HIS beauty line?

Of course he already had his fragrances, but make-up is a whole other level. Which I am glad for.

After seeing the color scale, when spotting the line, made me realize that it was very alike the Marc Jacobs show for fall '13. It will complete all those pretty fall outfits!

Wait, did I say pretty make-up brushes from Marc Jacobs? Yeah, you heard me right.

I wonder if the collaboration will be available at the sephora-stores, here in Europe?

Nailpolish, oh, nailpolish. I love you.

Check out the beauty line HERE or at sephora 

Update: I heard rumors that the line will be available for purchase in Europe in 2014 (when?). But of course it's just rumors, or not.

Leather boots lined with shearling, Acne

Alexander Wang's secret event

In the middle of july, Alexander Wang held a special secret event in NYC for his e-mail subscribers. I also received  such an e-mail.

But because i live in Sweden, I could not participate. I had to content myself with the reports of this event, online.

It was a frenzy, because Wang was giving away pieces from T by Alexander Wang for free.

Here comes a video that shows what happened:

Update on the shoes

The shoe-tip actually worked. In the morning, it felt like the shoes were molded by my feet. I should also mention that the shoes were: a pair of ballet-flats from Lanvin.

P.S. It could be quite hard to sleep in high heels.

My love for: Stella McCartney

A couple of weeks ago, I was going by the Stella McCartney store in Stockholm on my way to another store.

- Well lets check it out, wonder if they have something nice for me in there, I thought.

I ended up buying a pretty skirt. That I can match with everything, from a simple white tee, or a klein-blue singlet in silk, to a classy white shirt. You can dress it up, or dress it down. A million of ways to style it.

It is also a timeless piece, a black and white print could never go wrong.

The environmental aspect is also important to me. This is a skirt made from organic cotton, without any grose chemicals, that may affect the environment.
