Do I dare to say goodbye??..
I have had this blog for almost 3 years now and it's been my little baby that I have feed with postes and comments over the years. The only thing is that the internet has exploded with blogs and I don't really feel like there is a need for me anymore, I've done my part, I've inspired a few and hopefully written something worth reading every now and again.
But right now, I don't feel inspired or the need to write.. I don't want to give up my baby completely, but I haven't been a good mother to fashionholic the last year and she deserves something better, so for now.. goodbye..
A la Mode - let's go shopping!
There is a new site out there created by a man who wants to push for Swedish shopping. What a great idea!! Since the euro is so expensive at the moment, the Danish and Norwegian currencies even so and the pound always strong, there is a reason to come shopping in Sweden.. beacuse it's cheap!! So all of you out here not living in our narrow country come over and shop til you drop!! Click on the link here!
blackmarket online!
Finally my favourite shop in the WORLD ;) is online. This means that all of you out there who are fashionholics and love designers such as Damir Doma, Rick Owens, Henrik Vibskov, Burfitt, Comme des garcon parfumes and many more can finally get it all online from one place... right now there is a huge sale from the aw08 collections so click on the link below and start shopping!!

Happy shopping!
sooo sorry
First of all I'd really like to say that I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I have to blame it on work... I've started working on a new project which is really exciting but takes up a lot of my time. I'm part of a new project that is creating a new exclusive magazine for one of Sweden's most exclusive Spas and gyms here in Stockholm. The magazine will include articles about health, beauty, sport and of course FASHION!!
I promise to keep you all informed on how it's all going..
Damir Doma
This year's hottest designer on the men's side is by far Raf Simon's former assistant, Damir Doma, originally from Croatia.. I'm impressed, keep it up!
30% off is that all??
How fabulous isn't this jumper. I love it, but since Henrik Vibskov's v-store isn't offering more than 30% off, I can kiss this Walter van Beirendonck goodbuy since it's still 899 euros.. isn't life unfair sometimes??
Rick Owens
You just have to love Rick Owen and his fantastic design. This spring doesn't envolve a lot of colour, but who cares, it's fabulous anyways. Have to say that for those of us who can't afford his main line, there is Dark Shadow, a bit more rock style and denim - What a joy!!!
will it never stop?
It's still snowing in Stockholm, why why why can't spring arrive. I know it's still February which means it's quite normal for cold weather, but March is just around the corner and I want to be able to take off a few layers of clothing soon.. Please all weather gods, let it be spring!!
who said reading was a cheap hobby?
I love beautiful books, I love having them on my coffee table and to be able to every now and again pick them up, flick through and put them back. Found this book, would love to have it on my coffee table, but then I found out the price and all of a sudden I did't feel the craving of having it anymore.. who pays 675 POUNDS for a book????? I'm in chock!!!
winter mode
Even though I don't really want to believe it, it really feels like winter has struck yet again here in Stockholm. After a few days of freezing temperatures it has now started snowing... great. Spring feels months away and all the spring shopping will have to wait.. Anyway, it's Sunday, been inside all day so maybe it's about time to put my hat on and go outside...
Folk
There is a fantastic brand called Folk. Their shoe brand is called Shöfolk. Great clothes and affordable. This UK brand that was born in 2001, is starting to appear more and more and in my hometown Stockholm there are a few really good stores such as Grandpa and Blackmarket who sell the collections. If you still haven't entered the world of Folk, you should!
I miss u..
photos: the sartorialist
I miss New York. I miss the pulse, the people, the shopping and the lifestyle.. Thank god for the sartorialist so that I can at least keep myself updated on what the people are wearing and get a glimpse of everything that is so wonderful over there..
And they all fall down....
Some of you might remember Prada's fashion show about 6 months ago when all the models kept falling on the runway, well just the other day there were a few more falls, not as many but a few at Herve Leger's show when they showed the fall 2009 collection. Designer Max Azria blamed it on the catwalk which was in wood and very slipery. Slipery or not, don't know if I would dare to put those shoes on!
sale sale sale sale
Soon it's time for spring and new collections will hit the stores, if they already haven't done so. But since the snow is falling outside my window, spring is the last thing on my mind.. and spring clothes, so why not click onto Ulrika Sandström's online shop and shop til you drop because right now she's got 70% off her whole autumn/winter collection for 2008!

Time for a change
Okay, here we go, for quite some time now, I've been thinking about writing only in English to make sure that all my foreign readers understand what fashionholic is all about, I sometimes translate at the bottom of each post, but many miss that, so here we go, TIME FOR A CHANGE! for now on fashionholic is all in English, so welcome to all my foreign readers, from now on you'll understand..
