KNITS - MORE OR LESS

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."

DYI - THE PERFECT VASE

The size of most perfume bottles are perfect to fit a single rose, or if larger even a small bouquet of flowers.   

Make sure it's clean of all traces of perfume, and Voila - you have a elegant vase, perfect for your desk or side table.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN - TIM BURTON LOOK

I år blir det ikke noe Halloween styr for min del.  Jeg skal heller krype opp i sofaen og se på TV! Så det så! Ha ha :)

Hadde jeg derimot skulle gjøre noe i år, så hadde jeg nok gått for denne utrolig søte Tim Burton inspirerte looken av Michelle Phan - den er jo så enkel, og så fin!
For meg så blir denne looken mer en blanding av Tim Burton og Neil Gaiman (Sandman), og det er jo bare enda bedre spør du meg.  Jeg liker spesielt detaljene på neglene, de var helt utrolig søte.

Len deg tilbake og ny litt Halloween inspirasjon, og Happy Halloween peeps!


//This year I'm not celebrating Halloween, so no make-up, no party, maybe just some treats! :)  It's a fairly new thing here in Norway to celebrate Halloween, and it usually involves a party or two.

On the other hand, if I was going to do anything, I'd be going for this incredibly cute Tim Burton inspired look by Michelle Phan - so simple, and so cute!
For me this is more of a mix between Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman (Sandman), which makes it even better.
I just love the details of her nails, incredibly sweet.

Well, lean back and enjoy some Halloween inspiration, and have a smashing celebration you guys!  Happy Halloween! :)  //
