I came across the designer Nanna van Blaaderen while searching for inspiration, and her collections is like nothing I've ever seen. I find them utterly fascinating.
Below are the shots from her collection named "More or Less". I find some of them to be so decorative, like abstract sculptures. I absolutely love the attention to detail. Look at the amazingly braided hair and how it goes with the texture in the fabric.
"The sculptural handknitted collection 'More or Less' is inspired by
organic forms, animal life and nature. Using thick woolen yarns in
off-white colors, Nanna van Blaaderen experimented in combining knitting
techniques with braidingtechniques. This resulted in various expressive
garments of voluminous structures and forms."
Here is a light and airy selection from their latest spring collection. The two top dresses are my absolute favorites - such amazingly stunning pieces.
It really is, can't you just smell it in the air? Spring is right around the corner! The days are getting longer, the air is getting warmer, and you can finally start feeling a hint of actual warmth coming from those bright sun rays.
Let's hope spring allows for me to spend more time here in my Fuzzy Corner.
Hvem skulle vel ikke ønske de kunne være backstage hos Dior? Drøm deg bort i en verden av Haute Couture, og få ett innblikk i hva som skjer bak kulissene under visningen av Høst/Vinter kolleksjonen for 2013-2014.
J'adore.
//Whoud wouldn't want to be backstage at Dior? Discover the set and get a closer look at what happens behind the scenes at the Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2013-2014 show. J'adore.//
Jeg er en stor fan av løsvipper, og bruker det ofte selv. Jeg synes det er kjempe fint og gir en ekstra løft til enhver anledning; en naturlig look til hverdags, og en mørkere og tettere look til fest.
//I'm a big fan of false lashes, and use it often myself these days. I love the extra lift it gives a look, both for a more natural everyday look, or a darker party version.//
Til tross for at jeg er glad i løsvipper, så er det en ting jeg ikke har testet, og det er "Paper-art Lashes" - løsvipper som er laget til å se ut som Paper-Art.
//Despite my love for false lashes, there is one type I still haven't tried out, and that's the "Paper-Art Lashes" - false lashes made to look like actual Paper-Art.//
Disse kommer i all slags varianter, alt ifra sommerfugler, blomster, blonder og til og med byer. Hva sier du, ville du hatt Londons skyline på vippene dine?
En av stedene du kan få kjøpe disse finurlighetene er hos bland annet "Paperself". Under ser du litt av hva de har å by på, med litt 2D design av moi selvfølgelig... klarer ikke å dy meg når muligheten byr seg. ;)
//These come in all shapes and sizes; butterflies, flowers, lace, and even cityscapes... What do you think, would you like to be able to wear London on your lash-line? One of the places to find these little pieces of "lash-art" is at "Paperself". Below you'll see some of the many types they have for sale, accompanied by some 2D design by moi... I just love to create a little something when I have the chance. ;) //
Til tross for at jeg finner konseptet fascinerende, så må jeg innrømme at dette nok ikke er noe jeg ser for meg å bruke, hverken til hverdags eller fest. Kanskje til Halloween?
//The bottom line is, that even though I do find the concept fascinating, I have to admit that I just can't picture myself wearing this type of lashes. Maybe for Halloween?//
Så hva sier du? Er dette noe du ville gått med til spesielle anledninger, eller blir det bare merkelig?
//So what do you think? Is this something you'd wear for special occasions, or is it just to strange?//

Jeg klarer virkelig ikke å bestemme meg for hvilke av disse JC støvlene jeg liker best - jeg skulle helst hatt ett par av hver, ja takk! Jeg har alltid elsket Timberland boots, så når jeg så denne helt rå versjonen ifra JC så fallt jeg pladask. Timberland på steroider, hello! Ha ha ha :)
De kommer ut i løpet av November, men kan forhåndsbestilles allerede nå. Hmmm... kan hende dette blir julepressang til meg selv i år...
Ellers, så er der noen andre ynglinger som jeg veldig gjerne skulle latt flytte inn i skoskapet mitt... det er klin umulig å bare velge en av dem!
//There is no way I'm able to pick which pairs of JC boots I like the best - I should just get one pair of each, yes please! I've always loved Timberland boots, so when I saw this absolutely awesome version from JC I just fell in love on the spot. Timberland on steroids, hello! Ha ha ha :) They'll be released during November, but are available for pre-order already. Hmmm.... this might have to be a Xmas gift for myself this year.... These are not the only ones on my list, of course, there several beauties I would love to have in my shoe cabinet... it's just absolutely impossible to just pick one of them!//
"She is a famous beauty..She is like a kept woman, She has lunch and dinner with me on the table with her own food. She doesn't touch my food. She doesn't want to eat on the floor. She sleeps under a pillow and she even knows how to use an Ipad. She has two personal maids, for night and day. She is beyond spoiled."
- Karl Lagerfeld

"Despite being one of the most recognisable faces in the world, Karl Lagerfeld believes that his beloved cat, Choupette, is now more famous than him. The German-born designer is renowned for his attachment to the pampered pet, who often travels around with him on his private jet. "You know, personally, I don't even think I'm that famous," said Lagerfeld. "Now, Choupette really is famous. She has become the most famous cat in the world. I even get propositioned by pet food companies and things like that, but it's out of the question. I'm commercial. She's not. She's spoiled to death. Obviously."
Choupette and Laetitia Casta shooting for Karl Lagerfeld
The Chanel creative director goes to great lengths to ensure that Choupette - which means "sweetie" in French - is sufficiently attended to at all times while he's working: she has three maids, and pays a visit to the vet for a check-up every 10 days. "I don't take her," he told The Independent. "I don't want her to be furious with me." Lagerfeld is thought to paying the ultimate tribute to his cat, by naming a new Chanel bag after her - a rumour which has yet to be confirmed by the fashion house. A Twitter account set up in Choupette's name currently has over 10,000 followers on Twitter." Vouge.com
Stikker kjapt innom for å dele denne nydelige illustrasjonen jeg tilfeldigvis snublet over på nettet av Yiunami Leung.
Her kommer formen seg, sakte men sikkert. I dag kan jeg endelig spise litt mer normalt. Håper å være sånn noenlunde tilbake til normalen i morgen, og ta taket på trening igjen i overmorgen. *krysser fingre*
//Popping by to share this beautiful illustration I happened to come across by Yiunami Leung. Love it. :) I'm finally feeling better, and I'm hoping to be more or less back to normal again tomorrow... and back in the gym the day after... *crossing fingers*//
Jeg elsker at det nå er in med litt kitty-cat i garderobene våre - alt med måte selvfølgelig - men en liten ting eller to er bare kjempe artig.
Hennes & Mauritz har en rekke med katterelaterte motiver på både alt mulig, inkludert accessories, topper og opp til flere gensre, og alt til en rimelig pris.
Mine favoritter er garantert de søte små puseøredobbene i svart og så klart "meoow" toppen - kombinert med en tøff skinnjakke selvfølgelig. ;)
//I just love that it's in with some kitty-cat in everyone's wardrobe these days - I'm not for going overboard with the idea - but adding a little feline influence here and there is just a positive addition to everyone's closet. If you take a look through H&M, you're sure to find cats everywhere - accessories, tops and up to several sweaters - and all at a low cost. My favourites are definitely the little black kitty earrings, and the white "meoow" top, combined with the mandatory black leather jacket, of course. ;) //
Dette må være den mest fascinerende strikkede genseren jeg har sett på lenge. Den gjorde definitivt ett inntrykk! Du finner den //HER.
Jeg elsker oversized og comfy, og denne faller så absolutt innenfor disse kategoriene. Snakker om genser man kan bo i! :)
Jeg er overbevist om at denne hadde vært utrolig tøff som stylet med en stor messy bun på hodet, røffe skinny jeans, og noen skikkelige platform pumps som beige eller svarte louboutins med den velkjente røde sålen.
//This has to be the most fascinating knit I've seen for a long time. Let's just say that it definitely made an impression! You can find it //HERE. I love oversized and comfy sweaters, and this for sure fits both categories. Talk about a sweater you could practically live in! :) I'm convinced that his piece would be perfect accompanied by a large messy bun, roughed up skinny jeans, and some platform pumps with a serious attitude, like nude or black louboutins with the signature red sole.//
