I took some snapshots of the mannequins in store the other day, and here comes the present (good) looks:

Gorgeous dress by Dagmar, necklace by Iosselliani, sweater tied at waist from Isabel Marant, Johan handbag by Jerome Dreyfuss and sandals by All Tomorrow´s parties.

Next up is a flowy Isabel Marant dress, Roseanna lace bra, Jerome Dreyfuss Carlos bag and Chloé slingbacks:


Pretty Jil Sander Navy blouse and skirt, along with Jerome Dreyfuss MOMO mini handbag and Chloé burgundy ballerinas:


And some French chic by A.P.C. in mocassins, belted top and striped, lightweight summer trousers teamed with a Jerome Dreyfuss bag.


This mannequin is wearing a jacket by Isabel Marant, silk and cashmere hand dyed tank by Jil Sander Navy, cropped black denim by Helmut Lang, TWEE mini handbag by Jerome Dreyfuss and blue leather and suede pumps by Jil Sander.


And last but not least, an amazing dress with yellow, grey and black print by Helmut Lang in the display window, along with burgundy MOMO mini handbag by Jerome Dreyfuss and sandals with wooden detail by Ellen Verbeek.

And Nike Pre Montreal Racers on the side.
All in store now!

...And speaking of super talented designer Karin Malm, here are images from her current collection and a repeat of her short film for this spring summer season:

This beautiful dress is available with us in black

Hand dyed tank top, just wow

Long coat of viscose and linen, doubles as a long blazer jacket during winter

Silk slip dresses with spaghetti straps

Dress with rubberbands, tube dress included

And a few of photos from last season´s lookbook, of some of the carryover styles:



Gorgeous stuff indeed, all tailor made by hand here in Stockholm. In store and online now!

Splash in style! Beach season is here and so is again some seriously nice looking swimwear from Australian brand Seventh Wonderland. And since those good folks "down under" spend quite a lot of time at the beach, they sure know how to look their best while at it...





And as if the bikinis and swimsuit wasn´t enough, there´s also these fierce key hole skirts in mustard rayon or black silk available in store...

Now just imagine reading a book under the shadow of a palm tree, to the sound of the waves and warm sand on your feet... Good stuff, indeed.

Neon brights lights up my life this spring. Could not resist new lace undies from Roseanna, a perfect match with the pullover with neon silk insert by 1-10 Sharon Wauchob. YUM! In store now, and so is the skirtpant by Helmut Lang - another favourite of mine this season.

Knee lenght skirts and silk and cashmere tops, it´s a very pretty spring / summer season of Jil Sander Navy. So sweet, and yet so cool... Model Sojourner Morrell wears it well in these ads by Daniel Jackson.

In store now!

Back in store now after a very hectic week post Paris, when all order quantities are due. I still have a few to go before I complete next autumn/winter season, but things are slowly getting back to normal, yay! And our very own webshop model is back from her honeymoon so expect the online store to be updated a lot in the very near future, too.
We´ve already added some bright sparkle from Iosselliani this week, not to be missed, and much more will follow also in the jewelry section.


These goodies have just recently arrived in store, a cotton zip side sweater with a splash of neon silk from
1-10 Sharon Wauchob, and skirtpant by Helmut Lang. Also wearing vintage shoes and bangles, fine hammered ring by Laura Lee (also in store now) and earrings of my own design.

Staircase of Hotel Caron in Le Marais in Paris (where we stayed), and nice wheels just outside.

Last day in Paris was indeed a wonderful one. We had a meeting at the magnificent showroom / headquarters of Anne Valerie Hash and had the pleasure to also meeting her in person. So sweet!

I was wearing her dotted silk shirt from the AVHASHBY line (in store now), trench coat as jacket by Helmut Lang, jeans by The Local Firm and Gatcombe brogue boots by Church´s (also in store now).
And we were so lucky to get a cute, patterned AVHASHBY-scarf each as gifts, which was quite the treat since I had left all my scarves at home in Stockholm (due to the weather forecast predicting nice weather in Paris, #FAIL). I was freezing to death all the time, so this was the best gift ever! We both put it on right away.

Maria was wearing jacket by Isabel Marant Etoile, sunglasses by Karen Walker, sweater from Isabel Marant main line and striped pants by A.P.C. (both in store now) and brogues by Church´s (also in store now).
When we finished all our appointments, we took a walk to the cemetary Pere Lachaise. It is huge, like a small village of it´s own. Malcolm McLaren (1946-2010, R.I.P.) even has a song named after it, and since it happens to be on one of my favourite albums, I thought it was about time I´d go there.

Pere Lachaise is the final resting place for both Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison among one million others, but we didn´t have time to stay long enough to locate them. Next time.
Cemetaries used to send shivers down my spine, but these days I just find them utterly peaceful. At least during day time. I must admit I wouldn´t visit it alone, at night, if you´re even allowed to? Not afraid of ghosts, but I think it´s a wise idea to avoid the freaky people I might find there in the dark, ha ha.

I was out jogging in Paris a couple of mornings, too (see previous post, last pic). And the very last day of our week-long stay in Paris was all sunshine.
Finally.
That morning run was pure magic!!


I think we need to open Nitty Gritty in Paris, and I need to be stationed there along with it, ha ha ha.
Another superb part of my running sessions are the headphones by Molami, I´m one of those who never bothered to use headphones before - they either fell out of the ear or looked like something from outer space. That is no longer an issue, they´re nothing but amazing! I have both the earphones (Bight, in black stingray) and these ones, Pleat, in black leather and suede.

Yesterday, we stayed right here in Le Marais placing orders for both Chloé and Jil Sander shoes, as well as Isabel Marant main line and show collection. It´s been intense, but oh-so-great! The collections are huge, and then we hand pick our favourite pieces for the store.
And even though I really like autumn/winter collections, I´m so incredibly happy to have a spring and summer season to look forward to before these new goodies are delivered to us. I still haven´t had the chance to use my sunnies during the trip, what´s up with that? It´s grey and freezing here, and raining on and off. Sun has been shining at home ever since we left. Sigh.
(If you wonder why I´m so obsessed with the sun, it´s because we live in nearly constant darkness in the Northern Hemisphere all winter. I´m so in need of light now. And on the weather forecast for Paris, it said 15 degrees and sunshine, so I did not pack to stay warm at all... #FAIL.)
Ah, note to self: get over it! Less talk more action, yesterday´s outfits are hereby served:

Maria in wide, full skirt and cotton luxe henley by Isabel Marant (both in store now), wedge platforms by Jil Sander. Close-up on the skirt (and a gorgeous set of legs) here:

I was wearing a Vivienne Westwood coat, vintage checked soft blazer, t-shirt by The Local Firm, trousers by AVHASHBY (in store now), socks by Falke, brogues by Church´s (also in store now) and purple leather computer bag by 12.72.


Strike a pose!
And this is what things looked like today:

Maria wearing her slouchy drawstring pants and irregular silk knit sweater by Helmut Lang (both is store now), Marni coat, Jerome Dreyfuss handbag (in stock in black and leopard) and platform wedges by Jil Sander.

The view from one of the showrooms...

I was wearing a short coat by Vanessa Bruno, leather gloves by TNC Studio, vintage bangles and pumps, earrings of my own design, trousers by AVHASHBY (in store now), and silk top by Anne Valerie Hash.

Paris life is beautiful even though it´s still cold, grey and a bit rainy. Well, one can´t have it all.
Yesterdays outfits here:

Pullover by Helmut Lang (in store now), t-shirt by The Local Firm, chain earrings by Line&Jo (also in store now), vintage bangles, trousers by AVHASHBY and brown brogues by Church´s (both also in store now and the pants are quickly becoming my new fav´s!).
The sweater up close, the net knit is so nice:

And this is what we get when looking out the window of our hotel room:

Almost every little nook, every angle, of this city is so beautiful...
We had dinner at Hotel Amour, again with jewelry designer Cornelia Webb and her sister, and later on in the night we were joined by our menswear buyers Hugo and Erik who also flew in for a couple of days of buying appointments.
Cornelia was sporting an all orange ensemble with copper bangles and necklace of her own design, and a dress by Dagmar:

I was wearing a Helmut Lang overlapped shirt and bra (both in store now), ring by Iosselliani and chain earrings by Line&Jo (also in store now), jeans by The Local Firm, suede clutch bag by Hanna Hammarberg and platform wedges by Jil Sander.

We had so much fun!
(And for this, I sure suffer today. Say hello to the hang over from hell.)
