Gifford/Jonas Löfgren

Last night was great, but we never made it to the Elle party because we got stuck at Gallery Kleerup and Agent Bauer's exhibition. If you are interested in photography or love  illustrations, I really think that you should visit the gallery if you are in town!
My personal favourite was this one of Gifford/Jonas Löfgren, but since I don't have 1700euros lined up I have to settle for this photo of it. Gifford is Jonas Löfgren and Arvid Tappert and they have for example made illustrations for my friend Eva's children's book Magic, Cilla & Baby that I've written about before..

It's been such a lovely week, sunny and really cold, and yesterday the snow came, then the slush and now it's just grey.. grey. You really have to make an effort to keep your energy up and to be in a good mood, most of all I'd just like to lay in my bed and pull up my quilt up to my nose and sleep. What do you do to stay positive during these grey months??

Ohhh it's not far until fashionholic jumps on the plane and is heading to the town of her dreams, New York. I've been there three times before, but I could go there hundreds of times and never get enough, the city that never sleeps, and that is so full of life. Can't it be Friday the 4th January NOW!

A rainy day in NYC and you still find fabulous people in the street, like this girl.. The bag is so beautiful and is perfect with the shoes, but may question is if her poor feet aren't cold.. mine would have been!

Nudie Jeans has shown that sometimes it's important to stop and think... 60 years ago the 30 articles of the Human rights were written. In cooperation with different illustrators, Nudie has created and interpreted the 30 paragraphs in a modern way. The question is how much we actually know about the human rights.. when I read them tonight I was quite surprised how little I really knew.. something to think about..

It's such a lovely day here in Stockholm! The sun is shining and it's below zero, rosy red cheeks coming up! Today there is a lot of fun happening, at 6 pm my colleague and I are going to a party organised by Nudie Jeans and Amnesty International and Human rights. It's going to be great fun to se what they have put together.. After that I'm brining my little mother to a Christmas party that First Hotels are having.. so there we go.. getting ready for x-mas and those extra pounds... Merry Christmas!

I think that many with me are a bit surprised about this collaboration.. Julia Roberts designs for Giorgio Armani... Julia has designed a bracelet which is to be sold in benefit for people with aids. The bracelet is available is a brown man version and a red women's one and is made out of leather. In scripted in the bracelet is the tree of life and the words Revolution, Evolution and Devotion. They will be available at Armani's website (see link above).

Okay, are you ready for a Saturday night?? What are your plans this evening.. maybe going out?? Fashionholic is going out to dinner with some friends who are visiting. now the question is, what to wear?? Maybe something like what I've put together above..

T-shirt - Alexander McQueen, Skirt - HM, Bracelet - J Dauphin, Shoes - Rizzo, Leggings - Falke.

The question has been asked, can you handle a whole day without shopping?? Every year in November, millions of people around the world who have had enough of the rat race when it comes to shopping and consuming around the world, celebrate Buy Nothing Day. It's an international campaign which main purpose is to arise an awareness regarding our consuming pattern all over the world, and to show an alternative. I also saw that Sophie has acknowledged this day, so do like Sophie's Fashion and fashionholic, have a Buy Nothing  Day!

Ever since Balenciaga's autumn collection show last spring, fashionholic has been in love not only in the whole collection but also jodhpurs. Today I'm dressed from head to toe in a Balenciaga inspired outfit and wearing my jodhpurs from Zara. I can really recommend them if you want a pair, very comfortable and they have a very nice price! Have a great Friday!

It shows who I was hanging out with last night.. yes miss Sophie, but no we didn't have a pact to have a grey theme, but I guess that great minds think alike..

Scarf - Stella McCartney, top - James Perse, cardigan - Tory Burch, jeans - Stella, boots - Hope.

Oh yes the movie.. I'm in love with Karl Lagerfeld! What an amazing person. Funny, intelligent, inspiring and interesting.. yes, I've become "Karl hooked" after the movie Lagerfeld Confidential today, but I have to admit that I got quite sick because it was all filmed by a hand camera.. shit what a wimp I am ;)

Today at 11 am, fashionholic is going to Stockholm Film festival with a colleague to watch Lagerfeld Confidential. I'm really happy about this. A huge hug to Marcus Kollberg and Kolligo who have invited to this little movie.. It's going to be amazing to see Lagerfeld behind the scene!! Will tell you all more later! Ciao!

No one could have missed that high waist is hot hot hot autumn 2007, but if you don't have legs like Kate Moss, my advice is to go for a high waist and wide legs. My personal favourites at the moment are these from Whyred, they are so wonderful and so comfortable. So go the 70's..

Filmen Djävulen bär Prada blev en stor succé på biograferna förra året. Nästa chic/mode-bok att hamna på vita duken är Sophie Kinsellas Shopaholic.

Inspelningarna börjar i januari och det ryktas just nu att det är skådespelerskan Isla Fischer (från Wedding Crashers) ska spela huvudrollen som shoppinggalna journalisten Rebecca Bloomwood.

The Devil wears Prada was a huge blockbuster last year. Next chic/fashion book to make it to the white screen is Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic.
They are starting the shooting in January and right now there is a rumour that actress Isla Fishcher (from the wedding crashers) is going to play the shopping crazy journalist Rebecca Bloomwood.

I just LOVE accessories.. just can't get enough. A while ago it was all about necklaces, but now I'm more into bracelets.. Here are some of my favourites right now, with different price tags..

Prada is and will stay ground breaking within the fashion industry. No one really plays in the same league as Muiccia Prada, she has become the leader that so many others follow. Above you can find a fantastic mix of fabrics, metallic, tweed and colour. An amazing and fun combination that just shows that the fashion right now is without rules!

"I alla år har Svenskt Tenn firat julen med att skapa en unik värme och stämning i butiken. Tillsammans med formgivaren Birgitta Löwendahl gestaltar Svenskt Tenn årets jul med en strålande utställning i Estrid Ericsons anda.  I en magisk värld av ting blandas det högt med lågt. Guld är en dominerande ton som återfinns bland antika Tibetanska musikinstrument, taburetter, julgransdekorationer och i ett glänsande flaggspel av gyllene pappersark och Josef Franks färgstarka kretonger. Textilen Marble är prominent och dess accentfärger cerise och gult dyker upp på kuddar som skapar en varm konstrast mot de stilrena Frank möblerna. En oväntad färgskala, dofter och ljud från orienten och traditionella julpynt och gåvor gör Svenskt Tenn till önskningarnas hus. "

Hur fantastiskt låter inte detta.. fashionholic ska iallafall dit och inspireras till en vackrare jul!

If you are in Stockholm before Christmas to do some shopping, you just have to visit Swedish design shop "Svenskt Tenn". This year they are turning Christmas into something special in cooperation with Swedish designer Birgitta Löwendahl. It's a golden Christmas with influences from the orient. So if you are in town, this is something that you will have to see.. Let yourself be inspired to a more beautiful Christmas, fashionholic will for sure!

Idag vill jag bara uppmärksamma att världens genom tidernas största barnboksförfattare hade fyllt 100 år om hon hade levt. Alla våran Astrid Lindgren.. Kvinnan som har skänkt oss alla ett extra minne eller två från barndomen. Vi har nog alla påverkats på ett eller annat sätt av denna fantastiska kvinna som skänkte oss bla Pippi, Emil, Madicken och Bullerbyn. Så grattis Astrid vart du än är och tack för att du fanns...

Today I just want you all to remember the worlds biggest and best children's author, Astrid Lindgren, who would have turned 100 years old today. This woman has given us at least one extra good memory from our childhood (at least in Sweden where she is almost a saint..) I think that we all have been influenced in one or the other way by this amazing woman who is more known as the mother of Pippi Longstockings. So happy birthday Astrid, where ever you are...

Idag har fashionholic och hennes arbetskollega spenderat några timmar i SVTs kostymförråd för att hitta lite roliga utklädningskläder till barnen som ska vara med på NKs stora skyltsöndag som går av stapeln nästa söndag (!) självklart var vi tvungna att prova lite själva också... vem har inte drömt om att ha vingar som modellerna i " Victoria Secrets"..

Today fashionholic a colleague spent a few hours at Swedish Television's costume archive to find some fun outfits for the kids who are taking part of NK's (department store NK) annual show of their Christmas windows next Sunday, of course we had to try some things ourselves.. who haven't dreamt of having wings like the" Victoria Secret" models..

Så hur gick det alla där ute.. shoppade ni loss hos HM idag när Cavalli släppte sin kollektion?? Själv hoppade jag hysterin, men smög dock in på lunchen och köpte mig ett litet set underkläder i leopard.. allt bra att ha.. Måste ge en eloge till alla som stod kl 08.40 utanför Hamngatan när jag gick till jobbet imorse! Helt otroligt!!

Ikväll ska fashionholic hänga lite med goda vänner och spana in MR T! Mr Tommy Hilfiger är i stan för att promota sig och sina butiker som finns i stan. Ikväll blir det stor fest på Berns och fashionholic ska dit och spana, fast först ska jag spana in premiären av PUBs nya restaurang & bar som bjuder till med fest.. men tyvärr blir det ingen lång kväll för stackars fashionholic som ska upp och ha jul kick-off med jobbet och äta gröt kl 07.30 imorgon.. LOVELY.. hmm..

So did you guys buy anything at H&M today when they launched their collection in cooperation with Cavalli?? I couldn't handle the hysterical people in the morning, but sneaked in at lunch time and bought myself some lingerie with animal prints.. always good to have.. Have to give the poor sods outside H&M a round of applause for queuing up this morning at 8.40 am when I was on my way to work!! Amazing!

Tonight fashionholic is going to two parties.. yay.. Mr T is in town (Tommy Hilfiger ) and tonight his PR firm is throwing  him a party at Berns here in Stockholm, but first there is a premiere of a new restaurant and bar at PUB! But not a big night out for poor fashionholic sho has to be at work tomorrow morning at 07.30 am for our annual x-mas kick-off and eat porridge.. Lovely!..hmm

Tonight the night we are gonna make it happen.. Oh well.. the big news anyways is that fashionholic is posting a movie for the first time on her blog (ok I had to write and ask costumer servicers how to do it.. I know embarrassing.. but I'm no hacker!)

Found this lovely movie at fellow blogger mamamini and it's an ad for the Olsen twins new collection. Very inspiring and you get a lot of good suggestions what to wear.. Great stuff!!

Many of you know that fashionholic is in love with Norwegian designer Kristian Aadnevik ( and yes he is really good looking, but it's his clothes that I love..) Now he has launched a new home page where you can find a video of the whole fashion show from London Fashion Week (if you look closely you can see fashionholic with her white mobile taking photos from the right hand corner on front row haha..) you can also see more photos from his other lovely collections!

Today fashionholic is sitting at home in front of her computer, ill.. Thought that I would make it through this autumn without any colds, but no no I was wrong.. After that I spend most of yesterday at work looking and feeling like a UFO, I realised that there was no chance this morning to get out of bed, so here I am, dressed in my favourite "soft-and-nice" clothes and drinking green tea, waiting for a wonder to occur and trying to get some work done at the same time.. How come that something as ridiculous as a cold can knock you out so completely??

Anyways have a nice day all of you healthy people out there..

2003 visade Carin Wester sin första kollektion. Mycket har hänt sedan dess och Carins har  mognat mer i sin design och hon har verkligen landat i sin egna stil som många av oss idag älskar. Höstens kollektion som var den 7de från Carin handlade mycket om over sizade tröjor och skjortor, härliga byxor med höga midjor och stora fickor. På herrsidan heter Carins linje Wester och här finner man flera underbara plagg som kille. Några av plaggen är unisex så som tröjan till höger i bilden som fashionholic är stolt ägare av i svart, även den stickade tröjan till vänster tillhör en av favoriterna i garderoben, fast i svart, vit och beige.

Carin Wester är redan en svensk klassiker....

In 2003, Swedish Fashion designer Carin Wester showed her first collection. A lot has happened since then and Carin's style has matured more in her design and she has really landed in her own style that so many of us love. This autumn's collection is the seventh from Carin and is a lot about over sized sweaters and shirts, lovely pants with high waist and big pockets. She also designs for men and her male line is called Wester and here you can find a lot of lovely items if you are a man. Some of the clothes are unisex, like the jumper to the right in the photo, which fashionholic is a proud owner of in black, the jumper to the left is also one of the favourites from my wardrobe, but in black, white and beige..

Carin Wester is already a Swedish classic..

fashionholic is selling some of her stuff that are giving her a bad conscience because she doesn't use them.. welcome in to have a look..

Forget the LBD( little black dress), this autumn's must have is called LBS, little black skirt and is something every fashionista must have in her wardrobe. Preferably with a fun cut and high waist. Fashionholic loves the model in the photo which comes from Saga Lova, which you can find at Tjallamalla in Stockholm or at modemecka (check out link above). So girls put on you LBS and go out and dance the night away.. have a great saturday night!!

Den här hösten har verkligen skomodet exploderat och det finns så många olika coola modeller att fashionholic blir helt galen av ha-begär! En av höstens kanske hetaste skomodeller, om inte den hetaste är den som ni finner ovan i flera olika skepnader och prisklasser.

från vänster övre raden:

Bally - 575 dollar
Stuart Weitzman - 299 dollar
asos - 57 euro
Gucci - 775 dollar
Fendi - 775 dollar

När jag var på Rizzo senast hittade jag en liten lapp med tips för oss som älskar klackar och jag tyckte att de var så otroligt bra att jag tänkte dela med mig av dem nu:

Var rädd om dina klackar!

- Sätt ner hela foten och undvik lägga hela kroppstyngden på hälen. Klacken kan skadas och i värsta fall gå av.

- Gå försiktigt på kullersten och galler, det är lätt att fastna och förstöra klacken.

-  Håll koll på den s.k. klacklappen, den är liten och utsätts för en hård belastning, låt en skomakare byta ut den innan den slits ner och undvik att skinnet på klacken skadas.

- Använd helst lågklackade skor för långa promenader, låt de högklackade få följa med i en påse och byt om.

Så tjejer, good luck nu i helgen och kom ihåg att vara rädd om era små vänner klackarna!


This autumn the shoe fashion has just exploded and there are so many different and cool models that fashionholic is going insane, and want them all. One of this autumn's hottest shoe models or maybe THE hottest, is the one you find in the photo above. ( you find the brands and prices above)

When I visited a Swedish shoe shop not that long ago I found a note about how to take care of your heels, and I found it so good that I have to share them with you right now:

Take care of you heels!

-       Put down your whole foot and avoid to put your whole weight on your heel. The heel can be damaged or in worst case break.

-       Walk carefully on cobble stones  and iron bars, it's easy to get stuck and ruin the heel.

-       Keep an eye on the bottom bit of the heel, it's small  and is always exposed to heavy load, let a shoe repairer change it before it gets worn out and avoid that the leather on the heel gets damaged.

-       Use shoes without heels for long walks, and bring the high heels in a bang and change when you need them.

So girls, good luck this weekend and remember to take care of your little friends, the high heels.

Hösten är här och snart knackar vintern också på. En otroligt het och härlig trend som passar in perfekt här uppe i norden är den stora stickat trenden som verkligen har exploderat den här hösten. Ju större desto bättre och gärna med stora over sizade kragar och kraftig stickning. Efter seminariet "mega trends" som jag var på för några veckor sedan så kan jag meddela att den här trenden kommer växa sig ännu starkare under hösten 2008 så var inte rädda att investera i en cool och lite annorlunda stickad tröja som gärna sticker ut. Grått fortsätter även nästa år att vara den starkaste färgen i flera olika nyanser, så det är bara att shoppa på och andas ut.. trenden håller i sig..

Autumn is here and soon winter is knocking on our door. A very hot and lovely trend right now, is the knitted trend, which is great for us up here in the northern part of the world! This trend has absolutely exploded and the thing is, the bigger the better. Big over sized collars and thick knitting is the thing. After the seminar "Mega trends" that I attended a few weeks ago, I learned that this trend will grow even bigger next autumn (A/W 08) so don't be afraid to invest in a cool and different knitted sweater. Grey will continue to be a strong colour even next autumn, in different shades, so just shop and breath out.. this trend with cling on for a while..
