Tomorrow the “Stockholm Fashion Week by Berns” starts and we are going to see a few shows. Hopefully we have enough time to see a lot, because we both have to work next week. We’ll see as much as possible! I can’t wait to see the outfits of all the visitors, it’s still -14 up to -22 everyday and also snowing. But I’m sure that swedish people have a plan b for weather like this. So may be we will see you at shows like Minimarket, Cheap Monday, Odeur, Beckmans XV,…
Yesterday, I was at the “Acne Store” on Södermalm to try on the striped and really long dress as well as have a look at the leather fringe jacket that I never could buy because it is too expensive. The dress wasn’t in, but the Leo Desert Boots of the Pop Collection. Unfortunately not in my size, schnief. The funny thing is, I’ve been stareing at them since the first post about the Acne Pop Collection. Then yesterday, I also read a short interview with the Creative Director of Acne, Jonny Johansson, in the “Nylon Magazine“. The question was: The one thing people will go mad for? The answer: The Leopard-Hair shoes. Oh, he is sooo right!!!! I will go mad for them.
Sometimes, not very often, but sometimes, I’m really up with sneakers. I prefer “Nike” but it could also be something else like the Married to the mob x Lacoste Hironia collabo. You’ll find the launch-party pictures on the MOB-Blog. The edgy party pictures are made by “brookenipar” .They come out in february. If someone sees them in Europe, please let me know!
Edit: Will be at available at “Colette“.

If you have anything that we need to see, just write a comment. We already saw Lost, Sex and the City, Heros, Weeds, My name is Earl, TrueBlood, Entourage, Men in Trees and Sopranos. Do you know something else?
We checked out our neighborhood, Södermalm. It’s a really nice area to live. You normally don’t see the part we are live in when you are a visitor, but it is a really nice with many little shops and cafes. Sweden is not allways just red houses! Here you see Part I. Part II is coming soon.
Do you know what!? We are all reading and reading and reading blogs and about the fashion stuff that all the bloggers are writing about. What I’m really missing are some keynotes about a few people. Stuff like favorite band, favorite city, favorite book etc. Just some normal stuff. We know you all so well but in another way not so much at all. We know what you look like, what you did last sunday and what you bought. It feels a little bit like we are friends, but we don’t know all the little details about you. So we decided to start a tagging round! Isn’t that fun!?
I hope everyone that we are going to tag knows how it works. We write some questions and tag some people. Those people then publish the answers on their blog and tag a few other people. Here are our choosen ones: Cats&Dogs,Lost in Fashion, Vintage jesus fashion, Codyjune, Lalila, Hübsch’ dich auf, Fashion Flash, Linn Gustafsson, Wir sind Leoparden, Tea & Twigs and “The F Blog.
Here we go:

Favorite Moment Ever:
“Jeffrey Campbell” is making my life not easy. While he is copying shoes like hell, he also produces really nice graphic stuff like the new lookbook. Say what you want and I’m also not sure how to handle “Jeffrey Campbell” but the lookbook is soooo my type. He knows how to make you love him and definitely which shoes to copy. What to change on a nice shoe so it is even nicer at the end. I mean, that’s also something
Shall I tell you how to keep warm those days? Just wear “Wood Wood” like my grey dress with this long zipper on the back. That’s so warm. I’m becoming a huge fan of them. It is nothing spectacular but I love the designs. I also have a long cardigan from “WoodWood”. You remember? I ordered it at “Frontline“? See the post here. This one is also from “Frontline” because they are having the best prices for stuff like this.
(Dress – Wood Wood, Gloves – Nixon, Watch – Casio, Shoes – Weekday)
I am totally in love with wild and bright patterns at the moment. That’s the reason way I’m coming up with this Sass & Bide stuff! The Body is a dream and I would combine it with just about everything.
These days “Best Behavior” from Denmark came up with a sneak preview of their AW 2010 collection. It is full of bright colors and a lot of edgy cuts. The whole collection is totally what I like. I would love to wear the vest and the winter coat next winter. Looks cozy and warm, just what I need right now!
Do you remember my “Stolen Girlfriends Club – Lookbook” post? There was this black mesh prowler dress with the neon zipper on the back. Oh isn’t it nice? It’s so sad that it isn’t that easy to get in europe. I saw it at “I don’t like Mondays“.
Lovely Dotti from Dottis Dots asked as to put on our pyjamas. The problem is, we don’t really have’em, since we don’t use them. But I got the funny sleeping shirt as a present. I think, but I’m not sure, that is a typical sweden gift. You will find it in Gamla Stan there all the souvenier shops are. So we picked those pictures that we did a while ago in our so beloved appartment in Hamburg. We miss it!
Everywhere the spring stuff is popping up. Shit, I’m still stuck into winter. I can’t wait to wear something normal. Maybe some of those nice things from “Opening Ceremony“. I can totaly see me in one of those jumpsuits and shoes. Oh shit, I’m lost in my dreams but unfortunately I’m not that of rich. How can this nice Rodarte t-shirt cost $105.00? But maybe I have enough money for a hat for Nikita.
I don’t let me dictate what to wear! My summer shoes need some fresh air and see the world. I will freaze like hell but I don’t give a shit! When we were in Cologne I jumped into “Cos“. There is no Germany visit without “Cos“. There I found this nice striped something and I totaly like it. The socks that I’m wearing, Philipp catched on carneval a few years ago in Bonn. So funny, it came down from the wagon instead of Kammelle (Carneval Sweets). He also catched an elk-teddy. Strange thing.

Yesterday, I was writing about the styling of the “Cheap Monday Modelshoots“. Let’s say, there are many ways to style something. I found a good example for it. Have a look at this nice “Cheap Monday Dress” at “I don’t like Mondays“. 1+ for the different ways of wearing it! I like the fact that the model is wearing no shoes.
The first stuff of “Cheap Monday” is out now. I do like a few things, some dresses and some the really grown-up-looking stuff. It’s no secret that I love “Cheap Monday” and “Weekday“, BUT it seems to be that I’m not the target group anymore. What happend to the new model!? Those two picture are, let’s say, ok. But have a look at the other pictures on the website. Sorry, I’m not 14 anymore I want some older models back and the next time I want to be the stylist. Have a look here and then please write an email to them, that you want me to be the next stylist!
Since a few months now, I’m having the first picture of the “Arnsdorf Lookbook” on my desktop. My desktop is a special place for all the really nice pictures and my favorite outfits. It’s one of my Top5! The color of the blouse and the high waist jeans in that color. Just perfect! The whole collection is really my type. I would wear every single item. I’m in love. May be my next trip will be to Australia
On the first birthday of our blog two weeks ago, we started the Link Exchange Round Part III. You will find the nice result on our Link-Page. There is still some space in our link-list. Just write a comment or if you linked us and we didn’t get it, just let us know. I would love to link you back.
Philipp and I were in Cologne, Germany this week. We both lived there for a while. It was really strange to be back. Before I moved from Hamburg to Cologne I was thought people with permanent wave and some kind of really funny typical 80ies haircuts didn’t exist no more. Just go to Cologne There you will find everything
As I was at the airport, I got the first strange views about my shoes and the first really funny comments about my shoes. Who cares about comments from people which are looking like “Atze Schröder“? Love it and their unique style!
(Shoes – Underground, Skirt – Cheap Monday, Pullover – Carin Wester for Weekday, Blazer – H&M Trend, Watch – Cheapo)
“CTRL” was a long time my favorite streetwear label from Scandinavia. The finnish Label changed a bit it’s face and turned from kind of dirty edgy-looking into really clean swedish-looking. I’m not so sure if I like it. But what I do like are the shoes on the secound picture. We will see if I gonna like it in summer when it is coming out. The dotted stuff and the shirt with this kind of heart thing could be interesting.
Wishlist from this week is coming fromYouheshe. The Stine Goya stuff is amazing and they have sale at the moment! I’m still looking for a nice bag. I can’t find one that I really really love.
I really love this place in Stockholm, Gärdet. It’s a huge park in the middle of Stockholm with a lot of dog-people during the weekend. Of course Nikita is always excited when we go there especially when meeting here big black wolf-friends. This time it’s -22 degrees though and a really strong breeze. I hope you like the video. And by the way, the music is from “Where the wild things are”. Go and watch it if you can! The dogs in the beginning really remind me of the monsters…
Think I’m creazy, but I love my new white “Creepers from Underground“! I got an email at work that I have a paket to pick up. I was so excited. When I showed my new shoes to my colleagues they said: Oh they are so you! Hm, is that a good sign? Yeah I think so, because they fit really good and I love them and I can’t wait to wear them.
With -20 outside temperature there are not so many possibilities to spend a sunday. So we went into the Östasiatiska Museet because there was the “Kimono Fusion exhibition” that featured “Shin Tanaka“. Nice to see some streetart! It was just a really small part where you could find the street-origami but better than nothing. You can download your own here. They are so so so cute! Don’t miss this!
This is the third and last part of our Hamburg trip a few days ago. Flying with Ryan-Air is always a pleasure, so friendly and comfortable!;-) Hope you enjoy the video!
I totally forgot about this collabo since I was ill at the launch-party month. Usually I am not big fan of the Medicom toy, but this design made me change my mind. Cool stuff for WeSC’s 10th anniversary! To be found at Caliroots.
When I was at the “Weekday Pressday“this summer I saw a dress with a mash like this. I totally fell in love with the texture and the length. Now “Topshop” is releasing that kind as well. Oh, I need to buy it, but it is still a long way till summer. Can you explain to me, why there is summerstuff to buy everywhere? Everyone is starting to sell summerstuff in the middle of winter. So strange.
You know how it feels when you try something on and you are not sure about it? It happend to me with this lace H&M Trend shoulder pads dress. I took it to decide later. After one day I was sure, I don’t like it. And what happend? I couldn’t find the receipt no more. How bad…….
Today it’s the birthday of our Blog. We have been writing for one year now and how could we better celebrate it than with a link-exchange?
Some of you know how it works, just write a comment with your link and link us back. Your link will shown be on our linkpage. The last 2 times we found some good blog-friends and we can’t wait to see your stuff! So don’t be shy, there is no reason for it. Let’s go! Who will be the first one!? Don’t forget to check out the old ones.
Since a while it is sooooo cold. It’s nice for a few days but after a month it would be nice if it would be a bit warmer. May be -1 instead of -15 Today we moved into our new appartment on Södermalm and I can tell you, that’s not so funny to move when it is -15 and a hard arctic wind. However it is nice to be on Södermalm now.
P.S.: I hate this North Face Parker but everything else makes no sense……
Oh man, I’m such a Nailpolish addict, I need to run to “American Apparel” after work to see all those nice new colors…. Nailpolish in Sweden is really expensive, so 7 Euros sounds like a good price to me.
I couldn’t say it better than “House of Holland“, “I wanna Party!”. I have to say I’m really suprised about the good quality of the tight.
(Tight-Topshop, Shoes-Weekday)
Whenever I’m surfing at “Asos” which is really often those days because of the sale, I’m allways stopping at “Whistles“. I don’t know why because it isn’t really loud or really special. I just like it. Have a look at all other items that the really nice “Whistles website“.
As a dog owner you have to be at home on New Years Eve because of all the horrifiying fireworks. So Philipp and I spent the night at relaxing and took care of little Nikita. Until midnight really nothing happend. No fireworks, no screaming… A bit different from our “real” home on St. Pauli. We took a proof photo. Next year we will be on the road again….
Well, it’s not really a video from yesterday, but we sure want to wish you a happy new year with it. The video is from our Hamburg trip last week. It was so cool to finally get back to our home-supermarket on the Reeperbahn and grab some “Schinkenmettwürstchen”! Be sure you check out the best dance-moves that we watched on tv that night, awesome!
All the best for 2010 from all three of us! I hope you had a great night!
