Heading to the concrete jungle

Sorry for the absence, but I am planning something very exciting: a trip to New York! I am leaving next week, and my joy and excitement is almost too much to handle. This will be my very first trip so I am wondering if any of you have any brilliant tips to give me? Is there something I have to see or do while I am there? Best shops, best restaurants, etc.? Tell me all your New York secrets!

I Have A Sequin For An Eye



Back in March I found the most perfect vintage black sequin cardigan at my local thrift store. Even though it's perfection was almost too much to handle, I didn't buy it. Don't ask me why, I have no idea why I didn't! The next day, when I came to my senses and went back to the thrift store it was gone. And ever since that gloomy day in March, I have had sequins spinning around in my mind every so often.

Some think wearing sequins makes you look cheap, while others think it makes you look fabulous. I definitely belong to the last group. It has to be done right of course, and I can agree that there is a fine line between the sequin-hot and the sequin-not (like it is with leopard print too), but in general I find most sequin clothing gorgeous and stylish. Below are photos of people who inspire with their sequin outfits, and one nice way to spend a Sunday evening is to savour in lots of style inspiration. Also, looking at these photos might give you some inspiration for an outfit next weekend out on the town. Enjoy!

The Naked Dress

Okay, so I'm not quite finished gushing over Stella McCartney's S/S 09 collection so you'll just have to go through another post about her and her designs. More specifically one certain design. I am talking about "the naked dress" worn by model Lara Stone on the catwalk. The nude colour of the dress creates a skin-on-skin effect, that (when done right) is nearly too hot to handle. And Stella McCartney definitely gets 10 out of 10 points for this dress! I love the combination of the off-the-shoulders, slouchy top half, to the short, but still not too short, body-gripping bottom half. It's also nice the way Lara Stone has her hair pulled back tightly, that her make-up is clean and fresh, and that the accessories and shoes are kept simple. This defintely screams sex on legs!


When it comes to this dress, my thoughts instantly flew to Carrie's famous naked dress that she wore on her first date with Mr. Big in season 1. And we all know what Carrie and Big ended up doing that evening. It might be easy for some to compare the naked dress to a slutty dress, but I am not one of them. I actually think that in addition to the LBD every woman should have hanging in her wardrobe, every woman should also have a naked dress. Knowing your body, and knowing the fine line between sexy and slutty will get you a long way when it comes to having the confidence to wear and pull off this type of dress. So take some tips from Stella and Carrie, and don't be afraid to show what you've got!

Who do think has the best "naked dress", Stella or Carrie? And do have the fashion courage to wear a dress like this?

Carrie's Paris, My Paris

Just to let you all know: this will is me from today and until October 5th. A reaction like this is not uncommon for me, and let me tell you that when I saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time when I was in Paris about two years ago, I had almost an exact same reaction like Carrie when she saw it. No kidding! I try to control it, but I have found that it's actually quite uncontrolable. Unfortunately, I'm not going to Paris today (oh how I wish!), but Paris will be coming to me through my laptop screen. Ladies and gentlemen, you all know what I am talking about: Paris Fashion Week is finally here!


To celebrate that Paris Fashion Week has arrived, I thought what better way to do it than combine two of my great fascinations and adorations, Paris and Carrie, and create a post out of it?! Watching the two last Sex & The City episodes where we get to follow Carrie and her experiences in Paris is such a lovely way to relax and just enjoy some great entertainment, fantastic fashion and not to mention wonderful surroundings. I admire the way Patricia Fields has styled Carrie in these episodes because the outfits reflect both Carrie's own way of dressing, but also adds the European and especially the French styles. May Paris Fashion Week bring us the same inspiration that we get from looking at these outfits!

I threw in this photo not only because Carrie's dress is wonderful, but also as a kind of "lucky charm" for the models who will fall on the runway during these days (we all know it will happen!). Here's hoping they at least will fall in style, just like Carrie.

Carrie's outfits

get waisted with roger...

WARNING: if you haven't seen the Sex & the City movie yet and don't want to see some of the outfits that are seen in it, then you should not keep on reading.

In a recent interview with Nylon Magazine, Patricia Field told the readers some SATC behind-the-scenes information: "Sarah had a vintage studded belt she really liked, she named it Roger...and she would always say "Pat, get me Roger!" And I was like, "Carrie Bradshaw can't wear the same belt with every outfit!"

Looking at some photos from the SATC movie of Carrie Bradshaw's style, I spotted a certain someone-someone quite often. Aha! You guessed it..it's Roger! And he is pretty darn fine. He can work every outfit; from the everyday jeans and t-shirt look to the most fabulous ball gown. I must admit that I have fallen a little bit in love with this very gorgeous gentleman.

Pat Field continued talking about belts to Nylon Mangazine, and about how she thinks they will become the new big thing: "I think belts are going to keep being very big. I like what a belt does to the of a woman. It's like, okay girls, pull it in!"

So take Pat Field's advice and next time you're out shopping, don't forget to look out for your very own Roger. He can make your outfit look a hundred times better and unique.
