LUXURY: PRETTY IN PINK With vibrant colors making a big return this Spring, it's no wonder Jil Sander has been on the lips of nearly every fashion blogger the past month or so. Raf Simmons sent a wave of rainbow colors down the S/S2011 catwalk for the house that Jil built.<br />

</div><div>One of my favorite pieces are these bright pink trousers, which you can find at <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/111217">NET-A-PORTER</a> and will cost you a cool $595 (that's U.S. dollars).</div><div><br />

My friend is throwing a "safari" themed party and I'm super excited. I love dressing up, especially when I own a bazillian safari-style items.<br />
<br />
I ended up throwing on a leopard Louis Vuitton scarf (but as a dress) and cinched it in with my vintage Moschino belt.<br />
<br />
To take the outfit up a notch I painted leopard spots on my eyes, which actually wasn't too difficult. There are quite a few YouTube tutorials out there to help you if you want to try this look yourself.<br />

However I can't help but check out my familiar web haunts to see what new things have come in. <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208491&beginIndex=1&pageSize=20">TOPSHOP</a> in particular has been making it really difficult for me to stick by my new "no spending" mantra, as they've got tons of new and fabulous spring items (I've been eyeing those knitted/fringe cardigans for <i>days</i> now).<div><br />
</div><div>However when I came across this amazing belt I just couldn't help my self. This belt is just so my style. I love the vintage/rock and roll feel it has, and although I feel like I could have found something similar (and cheaper to boot) in a vintage shop, I just don't care.<br />

I just wanted to share a couple items that have made my life a little brighter since purchasing them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnl-029Xbg0A3OLvMpEj53-QVoe26P486Tuudlddb7OMreV-CA3otlZfH-TYf6J6wSJMQAiMCFl6ALyhwjTagx98NpZw7Ytnoe3LNLjbMBsf4WJfcvvtmKleLCqtwabcHjB2lB35s9A0/s1600/IMG_0089.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnl-029Xbg0A3OLvMpEj53-QVoe26P486Tuudlddb7OMreV-CA3otlZfH-TYf6J6wSJMQAiMCFl6ALyhwjTagx98NpZw7Ytnoe3LNLjbMBsf4WJfcvvtmKleLCqtwabcHjB2lB35s9A0/s640/IMG_0089.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br />
The first item is this amazing sweater (jumper?) from the last Jeremy Scott x Adidas collaboration. I bought it in November from <a href="http://www.luisaviaroma.com/">LUISAVIAROMA</a>, which by the way has amazing customer service and I cannot recommend their online store enough. This item is sold-out pretty much everywhere, however I'm sure if you scour the internet long enough you may find one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT682pS4VfCbSfcg-T7h0EYpShN2MdQ6ZIJhxQfzimermtBNqI4fpvcjZq4DWJQ_EO0fh_okEtS3-5OywzPFSAZvGnW8Fo4QJDR0nEV-XtSqUSHkazH7w4IKrMLLKut_orvWy6KIJdLtY/s1600/IMG_0091.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT682pS4VfCbSfcg-T7h0EYpShN2MdQ6ZIJhxQfzimermtBNqI4fpvcjZq4DWJQ_EO0fh_okEtS3-5OywzPFSAZvGnW8Fo4QJDR0nEV-XtSqUSHkazH7w4IKrMLLKut_orvWy6KIJdLtY/s640/IMG_0091.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Anyway, I love the details and the sweater itself is ridiculously soft and comfy so I am so happy it's in my life.<br />
<br />
Next up are a pair of shoes that I briefly talked about before going M.I.A. from the blogosphere. I didn't make it hard to guess which shoes I was talking about, but if you are still in the dark well then here they are.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwizWVCY1ofNlLWEYZHSALGqiahIAcMJOfz_Vk09bxWLUaSz7945DLFNOKdmVa3WBn-SlO5ElkDOseIFprB0ee5Vie7atKcEN7Dx5-EYZvIgPKw4DtSMpozd0KVPr3n7_XMQI-JP67Lpw/s1600/IMG_0096.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwizWVCY1ofNlLWEYZHSALGqiahIAcMJOfz_Vk09bxWLUaSz7945DLFNOKdmVa3WBn-SlO5ElkDOseIFprB0ee5Vie7atKcEN7Dx5-EYZvIgPKw4DtSMpozd0KVPr3n7_XMQI-JP67Lpw/s640/IMG_0096.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Oh yes, they are most definitely Yves Saint Laurent Tribute boots. I picked them up during one of the after Thanksgiving sales (from Nordstrom) and I absolutely worship them.<br />
<br />
Have I worn them yet? Nope. In fact, I have no idea how to walk in them without looking like a baby giraffe—ridiculously awkward. Of course, the weather in Sweden has also delayed any attempts to wear these beauties outside, so perhaps in Spring I will take them out for a spin.<br />
<br />
Fingers crossed I don't fall over. Now on to not-so-fashiony things...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuftRW_UktiSNI5gccx0LyPAJTW6M5_D5uyX2vNrtRLl3lUGyyL35mQguLn0-8P0pYoarlac_AlA6_bXd93RZ44JHPIsedf_55ByaqOdGvQ-PDIakSNadmJgFVOBslyoV_56S-yo5ZjMc/s1600/IMG_0097.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuftRW_UktiSNI5gccx0LyPAJTW6M5_D5uyX2vNrtRLl3lUGyyL35mQguLn0-8P0pYoarlac_AlA6_bXd93RZ44JHPIsedf_55ByaqOdGvQ-PDIakSNadmJgFVOBslyoV_56S-yo5ZjMc/s640/IMG_0097.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
My wonderful MacBook Pro. I have been a Mac geek for about five years now and I wouldn't want it any other way. Previously I was on a regular MacBook—which gave me three blissfully trouble-free years. However she started struggling the last couple months because of all the programs/pictures/songs/etc that I had running and we both agreed that I needed more space. She is now enjoying the retired life in the drawer of my coffee table.<br />
<br />
This last one probably seems kind of weird, but whatever.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOiDvKyTI09hg9-8XgwFXIkJ1DZV3ZI2U-rMp4PM9drqj0S1yHjuWk4UdMA4QsUyqctR69LZWnsmdT26zU8XPkLnlq5tzyJelLCMqV77SYJobbJ616PcX6BCW7bpnciE6q2NFq5LHy_Wc/s1600/IMG_0099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOiDvKyTI09hg9-8XgwFXIkJ1DZV3ZI2U-rMp4PM9drqj0S1yHjuWk4UdMA4QsUyqctR69LZWnsmdT26zU8XPkLnlq5tzyJelLCMqV77SYJobbJ616PcX6BCW7bpnciE6q2NFq5LHy_Wc/s640/IMG_0099.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Vitamins! I've been taking a one-a-day women's vitamin and a silica tablet and my skin looks freakin' ah-ma-zing! The purplish-blue bags under my eyes have slowly faded (I'm pretty sure they were there because of some kind of deficiency in my diet) and I seem to be "glowing."<br />
<br />
The reason for the silica is that I've read it is very good for skin as well as hair and nails, and let me tell you, my nails need all the help they can get. I think it's still a little too early to tell if they are stronger but I will be sure to do an update at a later time with any results.<br />
<br />
So there you have it, my favorite things right now.

Don't lie.<br />
<br />
Stockholm Fashion Week ended yesterday, and one of the shows I took in was <a href="http://www.altewaisaome.com/en/">altewai.saome</a>. I fell in love with their designs late last fall, so I was pretty excited to catch this show.<br />
<br />
Overall I'm not really sure what to think about the designs. Some were beautiful, but I am probably one of the few who actually go to a fashion show looking for pieces I can actually wear. One thing is for certain though, I will not be sporting the ovenmitt-<i>esq </i>gloves that appeared to be adorned with computer circuit boards.<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with some pictures. Gonna be totally straight with you, I need to work on my photography. Just because you own a DSLR does not mean you have instant photo-cred. Case in point—my pictures. Snapping models sashaying down the runway is serious business!<br />
<br />
Anyway, looking forward to getting reacquainted with you all!<br />

Beginning like—yesterday, my blog posts will be a little on the sporadic side. I've recently taken on more writing assignments with Runway Passport and we are currently moving into our new apartment, so my hours are kind of all over the place. Case in point, it is nearly two in the morning here in Stockholm and I've just now been able to get to my computer today. I've got some posts lined up so hopefully I can knock a couple out tomorrow morning for your reading pleasure.<br />
<br />
In the mean time please bear with me, my lovely readers!<br />
<br />
TTFN,<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dear Zara,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am a big fan, but have been feeling sort-of left out lately. I see you've opened online stores in over ten different European countries since September, but Sweden has not been one of them. I see you plan on expanding your online stores into the U.S.A., Canada and South Korea early next year, but still no sign of Sweden. This makes me sad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am a big fan, but it is a little difficult shopping in some of the Zara stores here in Stockholm. Most often it looks like a clothes grenade has gone off, leaving items strewn all over the place. I feel like I'm digging to China when I'm sifting through some of the tables that were (once upon a time) organized with items such as cardigans, pants, etc. I can never seem to find anything I want, and yet, I come to your website and am constantly <i>ohhing <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">and </span>awwing<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"> over your lookbooks.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am a big fan, so please consider opening an online store here soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br />

Just when I think I have my spending habits under control I go and do something silly—like buying 6-inch heels (hint #1) when it's been snowing in Stockholm for three days straight. No, I did not buy the <i>Dany</i> platforms, or the<i> Litas </i>either. This was a spur of the moment, not-thinking-of-the-repercussions-type of purchase.<br />
<br />
Being that it was <i>Black Friday</i> yesterday, I guess the American in me just couldn't pass up a deal. So when I saw these particular ankle boots (hint #2) on sale I just couldn't say no. And you know what? I'm not sorry.<br />
<br />
I have been in love with these "it" boots since I first saw them on the runway at <i>Yves Saint Laurent</i> back in 2008 (hint #3). Will I be able to walk in these? I don't even care. After all, according to the well-heeled Anna Dello Russo, 'tis the season to focus on your shoes, be they "sparkly, shiny, eccentric, metallic, decorative, precious, brocade, extravagant, colorful, magnificent, enchanting."<br />
<br />
You get the picture.<br />
<br />
Speaking of pictures, I'm going to hold-off on posting any until they arrive. I'm sure those of you that are a slave to fashion like myself already know which boots these are. Until then...<br />
<br />
Happy shopping!<br />

Yup, time to be a good little blogger and post my Lanvin <3 H&M collection haul. As I mentioned before, I wasn't totally blown away by this collection. Last year's Jimmy Choo collab had me drawing up game plans on how exactly I was going to score every single piece, so I suppose I was a little disappointed when all the Lanvin images were finally released and I didn't really swoon over any of the pieces—particularly the accessories.<br />
<br />
However, one item that I really did love were the sunglasses. Knowing full well most other bloggers had these on their shopping lists, the low price-point and because I didn't bother going down to H&M the morning of the release (or the day after), I sort of gave up hope on scoring a pair.<br />
<br />
Well today I had some time to kill in the morning, so I managed to talk my boyfriend into driving me to a sort-of out-of-the-way H&M location that had stocked the collection (Kista is the name of the town, which is a suburb of Stockholm). We ended up getting there just as the doors were opened, and I casually looked around to see if there was anything left.<br />
<br />
As I made my way to the back of the store I spotted a small stand with a few of the dresses remaining, and some boxes near the floor.<br />
<br />
Not even thinking there were any sunglasses left, I opened one of the boxes to see what was in it. Lo and behold, there they were!<br />
<br />
<br />

The last pair in possibly all of Sweden, and they were mine! Haha! I didn't even have to wait in line for them, or pay a gazillion dollars for them on eBay! Success! Can you tell I'm excited?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYg-HoGZPHFkOBgwT53M02sjtvPfNTgs4YuVuebHCLpzfIHCVYQ0L8ZuIySHwHGoh8944wu4jyt44DTwIMyNtVqdPon8h4h8_tsB2HaJuxAoZR7ba_5F0Szwnpiu7leQJtko2lLAapdQk/s1600/lanvin3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYg-HoGZPHFkOBgwT53M02sjtvPfNTgs4YuVuebHCLpzfIHCVYQ0L8ZuIySHwHGoh8944wu4jyt44DTwIMyNtVqdPon8h4h8_tsB2HaJuxAoZR7ba_5F0Szwnpiu7leQJtko2lLAapdQk/s640/lanvin3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Anyway, there are still items to be had out there. I noticed this morning H&M had restocked their website with quite a few pieces. I was almost tempted to get that yellow one-shouldered dress, but I decided to save my money on a piece from another collaboration that I've had my eye on for a month or so (will post picts soon). Either way, if you were one of the unlucky ones don't give up hope.<br />

No, I did not spell that wrong. The <i>Drak Knights </i>editorial is featured in the latest issue of Runway Magazine and was shot by photographer <a href="http://www.christianrios.us/">Christian Rios</a>—and it's blowing my mind.<br />

This has to be my favorite shot. Isn't the lighting exquisite? And I love the juxtaposition between the graffiti'd water tower and the obvious beauty of the model (even if she is done up to look tough).<br />
<br />
I also love the familiarity of this picture. This will probably sound funny to most people, but I can totally tell this was shot in the L.A. area. I'd recognize that haze and those mountains in the distance from anywhere. Home.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Basically I've been cyber-stalking these shoes for quite some time now. Originally I only had eyes for Dany, but since the end of Summer Lita has slowly crept her way into my heart. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Part of me says to just make room for the both of them, however Lita is just so hard to find these days, and I get the feeling she's cheating on me as I've seen her on the feet of (guessing) hundreds of bloggers by now. Dany on the other hand is newly available and I wouldn't feel so awkward hanging out with her in the Summer time, she also isn't as popular as Lita so I feel like I should give her a chance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

And whatever Anna says, goes. So, without further <i>adieu</i> I bring you <i>Anna's Ten Party Commandments </i>along with some pictures I've added for your viewing pleasure!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">1. Don't wear RED or GREEN outfits. You will look like a Christmas tree.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. Forget any COATS—even if it's only 5 degrees outside.

<div style="text-align: center;">Hurray!</div><br />
River Island is now being sold online through <a href="http://www.asos.com/Women/A-To-Z-Of-Brands/River-Island/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=12268#parentID=-1&pge=0&pgeSize=-1&sort=-1">asos.com</a>. Previously River Island was only available at their boutiques or through online ordering (for customers living in the UK). Unfortunately Sweden doesn't have a River Island store, so I've been left out in the cold—until now. There are about 96 different pieces from their A/W2010 collection, and I'm crossing my fingers more will become available in the near future (a certain high-heeled shearling boot, not unlike Burberry's fab pair, come to mind).<br />

My new Timberland Mukluk boots were delivered today, and just in time if you ask me. The temperature here in Stockholm is starting to head south on the thermostat real fast (below freezing). Some Swedish weather forecasters are predicting this winter to be the coldest winter in 100 years (yikes)!<br />
<br />
And while they're not the most glamorous of boots, I am super excited to wear them. I have a feeling these will end up being the best purchase I make all winter (which in Sweden, lasts a <i>very</i> long time).<br />
<br />
If you live in Sweden and have been trying desperately to nab yourself a pair of these (they're practically sold out everywhere) you can still find some online at <a href="http://se.zoovillage.com/productdetail.aspx?did=56046&pos=50">Zoo Village</a>, which is where I ordered mine from. They also carry the boots in the colors white and "wheat."<br />

</tbody></table>It's been a little over a week since my last post and a lot has gone down in the fashion world, let's recap. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/02/lanvin-for-hm-collection-_n_777728.html#s172399">H&M released images of the entire Lanvin/H&M collection</a> and the final <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=210522&parent_categoryId=210521&beginIndex=1&pageSize=20&intcmpid=W_HERO_HP_UK_WK9_KATE%20MOSS%20LAUNCHES%20TODAY">Kate Moss for TOPSHOP</a> collection was launched. Both collections were <i>meh. </i>I had actually planned to line-up at H&M on the 23rd and live blog the release of the collection, but I'm not really feeling any of the pieces (except for maybe the sunglasses), so I don't think it will be worth my time and energy to get up at 5am and wait in a long-line with several hundred other rabid fashionistas, pushing and shoving their way into H&M. Moving on.<br />
<br />
Speaking of H&M I pretty much own the entire <i>Arizona Dream</i> collection now (well, almost). I bought <a href="http://shop.hm.com/se/campaign?campaign=882_MAGAZINE">this</a> leather jacket and <a href="http://shop.hm.com/se/campaign?campaign=882_MAGAZINE&page=7">these</a> suede pants, however I'm returning the pants because they just don't fit right. Story of my life.<br />
<br />
I ordered <a href="http://se.zoovillage.com/productdetail.aspx?did=56046">these</a> Timberland boots. Super excited to get them because winter has arrived in Stockholm in all it's freezing-cold glory (we had quite the snowstorm yesterday).<br />
<br />
I bought an apartment! Expect lots of interior design posts in the near future!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://runway.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/10/a-mcqueen-retrospective-at-the-met/?ref=fashion">Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art</a> will celebrate the work of the late designer Alexander McQueen in its annual spring exhibition. The show, which will open May 4 and run through July 31, 2011. What I wouldn't give to see it!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wwd.com/100?module=featured_stories&module=today">WWD</a> turned 100 years old, which in fashion magazine years is like, as old as Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
I am obsessed with short hair after seeing a slew of celebrities chop off their locks—the latest being Ashlee Simpson. How adorable does <a href="http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2010/10/12/ashlee-simpson-wentz-debuts-platinum-blonde-hair-pixie-cut/">she look?</a> And check her out channeling Edie Sedgwick <a href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/11/03/ashlee-simpson-edie-sedgwick/">here.</a> In the immortal words of Rachel Zoe, "I die."<br />
<br />
That's it for now. Expect regular posting to resume now that this past hectic week is behind me.<br />

Although Halloween is technically on Sunday (tomorrow), most Halloween parties will be happening tonight. I've been invited to a friend's party but I have absolutely no motivation to find a costume. I was originally planning on going as David Bowie from the <i>Aladdin Sane</i> album cover, but a difficult week at work and zero energy crippled my costume hunting efforts this week.<br />
<br />
Now with not much time left to plan a costume I think I'll end up going as a "fashion blogger," donning my trendiest pieces. That works, right? ;-)<br />
<br />
On second thought, maybe I can just run to the grocery store and pick up a Lady GaGa costume there.<br />

Everything from the black jersey jumpsuit with the gold belt to the model's perfectly coiffed brunette hair and smokey eye makeup are simply stunning—definitely right in line with Marc Jacob's SS11 show. Even her beautiful pale skin has got me wanting to slather on the SPF50 sunscreen.<br />

This one is going into my inspiration folder.<br />
