This editorial from Vogue Paris february 2010 is divine. 

Last night

Gloves H&M, leather tights BikBok, blouse borrowed from roomie H&M Trend, black leather pumps DinSko. 

Mood board..

These pictures I borrowed from Sacha explains my mood these days very well: To stay 21 and not grow up. And the soundtrack for that mood is Ke$ha - Tik Tok. 

Out tonite!

Back home

Back home from the amazing country of Australia, not really wanted to leave, but ready to give it all my last semester of my bachelor. Did not do alot of shopping, but bought to bikinis from Tigerlily and Seafolly and this beautiful dress from Zimmermann. Check out their clothes, a bit pricey but divine. 

Pictures taken on the main beach of Byron bay at dusk. 

Brooke the beauty

Found this picture of Brooke Shield at siggelicious at the age of 14. Gorgeous!

And with that I would like to wish everyone a great holiday, Im off to Australia in a few hours and will be back in the middle of January.

Much much love!!

Last night

Dress H&M, shoes Topshop. Perfect xmas party dress if you ask me:)

Perfect boyfriend present

Nope, no high fashion Wang, FINSK or Choos, all I want for x-mas from my bf is these Converse Ox in navy. Given it some thought, and these babies go with everything and will fit perfectly into my aussie look (sporting in Australia ofcourse...). And the fact that I dont work in Vogue but attend a business school in Bergen, these will come in better use than anything. 

Inc.

Not quite my type romantic wise but so my type arm details wise. Guys! Tattoos on arms are damn cool. Maybe not your girlfriends name (or ex...).  

Down Under

Sorry for the lousy updates, but Im in the heat of my exam period these days, and will be until the 16th of dec. On the 19th Im leaving for Kuala Lumpur, Australia and Hong Kong. A perf little roundabout if you ask me. Our beloved Scott is down there as well, and he posted these beautiful pictures which makes me get extremely excited. If you have any tips on what to do, where to go out and shopping let me know. I will be in Melbourne, Sydney, Byron Bay and sailing the Whitsundays. 

Triwa

Some eye candy from my favorite watch brand. And big surprise: theyre Swedish! 

Collabo

So, as I have already mentioned I am currently working on a little project with these two lovely ladies, Tina and Nina from CALA&JADE (yup, the ones who make the coolest bags!). This is a little glimpse from our sketches and plans. I am extremely excited about this, but its still a little secret. 

Wait and see... 

Interview

I got interviewed by Silje Chantel the other day. Here it is:

Vaishali is an economy student who is in love with fashion,dance,writing and act upon social responsibility, and the possibility to be able to combine those someday. If she´s not at school, she is experiencing life and she considers herself a real "go getta" who never settles for less. She is currently working with her fashion column in the NHH student paper and a new exiting project with CALA&JADE. Here she shares some of her favourites!

Describe your style:
I hate categorizing myself because I like to try everything. If something I would say femininity always shines through fashion. And I never forget to give it a hint of urban. Cashmere cardigan with big golden earrings if you may.

Favourite designers:
Depends on the occation. Alexander Wang, Rick Owens and Acne for every day wear. Stella McCartney for summer. Balmain and Stine Goya for parties. 3.1 Phillip Lim for work. And Missoni or DvF if I want to float around in a garden....

Tips for winter season:
Don´t supress yourself in dark colours , mix it up with some nudes, especially a big powderpink scarf to enhance your cold,rosy cheeks!

Natalia Brilli (ant!)

Natalia Brilli is brilliant in covering things up in black leather and making it look...ehm.. cool! Im not sure that I would purchase this project, but I sure got my eyes on her cardholder. Check out more at webshop: farfetch.com (pretty cool site). 

Sorry for the late update, have been in Oslo for the week for an exiting project. More of that later. 

Icon

Forget the Olsens, Sevigny or Moss. No one has the sex appeal and coolness of Jade Jagger. She and Miroslava are definitely my top trend icons. 

Todays outfit

Never searched for a sweater so intensely as I did for this one. But I found it, in Stockholm. Its ridiculous how excited I got, my brother thinks Im nuts.

Sweater and necklace H&M, tights BikBok, shoes Ash

Night

Pumps DinSko, skirt and body from AmApp (new!), watch Casio. 

Current obsession

Since I have eventually got the fact that I can not pull off red lips (always end up looking like a tranny), my new hope is pink lips. This is from Face Stockholm. 

Fix up Look Sharp

 Ever since I came home from Stockholm Ive been wearing black and leather on a high scale. Its hard to go wrong. 

Todays outfit

Got a new scarf from my mom who was just in India.. its pashmina, and perfectly large (something about cuddling up in a big scarf during winter). 

Boots (new!) Zara, socks from H&M, tights BikBok, Sweather Vero Moda, jacket from Benetton. 

Cravings

The Whyred Adani ancle boots. The colour is amazing.

Watch attack!

I have so much to do these days, I am literally wearing multiple watches. No, Im just kidding. A lame excuse to post this picture. The more the merrier. Expecially when it comes to arm candy.

Mad men and glamorous women

Back from Stockholm guys, and here is my newest article:

When watching the HBO series Mad Men you get an hunger for certain things: cigarettes, red-haired women, scotch and to get dressed like the old days.

 

There is something about the fifties and early sixties in USA and its impeccable style. The men had return from war, smoking was considered healthy, JFK was running for president, and the women never left their house without hair, makeup and outfit in perfect shape. That is if they ever left the house. Society was at its right course, making culture, fashion and luxury blossom.

Since the middleclass was growing, more and more people wanted to look like they were from the upper class. So when leaving the house, you had certain rules. To always wear make-up, the lipstick was like a gun – it could make a man do anything.  To never be seen without hat and gloves or unmatched shoes and bag. High heels were mandatory, as well as stockings, and fabric should be chosen out of occasion.

If there is one designer worth mentioning that defines this era, it’s the legendary Christian Dior. Dior created what he called the “New Look”. This look enhanced the round shapes of a woman: big rounded bust, tiny waist and a big skirt shaped like a flower.  Accessories where the Kelly bag from Chanel and the no. 5 perfume.

Many of the important icons of our time lived in this era. Representatives of the fresh, natural and naïve looking girls, where movie stars like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. In the Mad Men series, Betty, the perfect wife of Donald Draper, represents this look. The other group, the seductive, passionate and sexy women of the fifities and sixties contained pin up girls like Rita Hayworth and not to forget: Marilyn Monroe, who is considered the icon of the decade.  The sexy secretary, Joan Harris, is an excellent example.  Even I want a piece of that!

I remember a night the fire alarm went off in my building. While me and my roommate ran out in ugly sweats and big t-shirts, I remember an old lady came out with a long pink silk robe, her hair curled up in a net and lipstick on her lips. My point of this story being, that even though the woman was old, she looked better then we ever do. Lets learn a thing or two about the classiness of the old days. Style does go a long way.

 

And yeah, the dialogue in the series is very good as well…

Current favorites

These are two of my wardrobe favorites at the moment. 

The first is a original drummer jacket bought at Beyond Retro in London this summer. It actually has a "tail", which I pinned up. We had a Michael Jackson dance gig on Tuesday where I wore this (MJ would be proud!). 

The second is, in my opinion, the perfect leather jacket. I got this from Levi`s as part of my goodiebag, and its going to be in stores this spring. I pimped it with a black belt on the side. 

And btw, I am going to Stockholm this weekend. Have a lovely weekend!

The Wall

This is out with Georgenes Verft here in Bergen, pretty cool.

Beauty

Dont know if this photo makes me miss my boyfriend the most, or making me want to wear a black dress to a party tomorrow. And what a beautiful woman!

Todays outfit

Shoes Ash, tights BikBok, linen assymetrical top VeroModa (roommates), jacket secondhand.

Just came home from watching a documentary about Valentino - The Last Emperor. Fantastic..or should I say: Bellissimo! Highly recommended. 

The Jagger appeal

I rarely prefer blondes, not because I dont like the hair, but just because they tend to have a kind of straight obvious beauty without a element of surprice. But not this girl. I have totally fallen for the looks of Georgia May Jagger. Maybe because everyone is comparing her the definition of sexy Birgitte Bardot, but since Birgitte is a racist, Id rather dig this girl.
