what is hot test: March 2012

Hi from Helsinki

bruno pieters x weekday shirt

gina tricot jeans

acne boots

Hi again. I decided to go for a surprise visit home to Finland! Last night I attended such a great party, the tripe x Vitaminwater launch party with the theme: xxx, obviously. More about that soon! Here pictured running errands in a slight hangover, totally worth it all.

best regards, a happy new bag owner......

In Blue

(Anarchy Street Sweater, Zara Skirt, Mango Heels, Bracelets by Gorjana, CC Skye, Anarchy Street and friends)

It's funny to think about how just a few years back I used to be slightly afraid to pet cats.

Let's go downtown

styling and concept by me

Time to take a look at part three of the Bengt series that me and Janne worked on throughout February. The 'Downtown' lookbook is built around city life and city prints, so where better to shoot than around the streets of east London. The white paint was not planned, but after I accidentally leaned on a newly painted wall, I could not hep myself from embracing it. More photos and full product info over at Bengt.

Polka Dots

(Vintage Cardigan, H&M Sweater, Current/Elliott Polka Dot Skinny Jeans-here and here, Mango Heels, Michelle Chang Skull Ring, Tiny Armour Arrow Wrap Ring)

Finally back in LA but only for a day. I'm going to San Francisco in the morning for work but in the meantime, this is what I wore on my first day back to work.

Cherry blossom

stylestalker shirt

Me again under another pink flower tree... Simply because London is so beautiful right now. I took myself a few precious moments in the park, shooting shoes actually. They will tribute a bit later, but for now I thought this shirt needed it’s little own post. I’ve been a fan of the decorative blue and white print forever, opting for it in everything between bedding and china. It felt like one of those ‘of course moments’ when I came across the print in this Stylestalker shirt. The print is used throughout the current collection and I’m naturally desperate for every piece.

Cementerio de la Recoleta

(Anarchy Street Sweater, Zara Floral Shorts, Cole Haan Shoes, Coach Bag)

La Recoleta Cemetery. Such a beautiful place despite being a cemetery. It was like a city in its own with beautiful marbled monument like tombs. Definitely one of my favorite places that I've visited in Buenos Aires.

In the middle of it all..

acne boots

Trying my best to not get distracted from dissertation writing, but what can you do when the topic is about shoes marketed through social media. It might have been a smart thing to write about something that does not require me hanging on blogs and twitter and of course something that is not as beautifully distracting as shoes... So in the name of research, my new boots.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

I spent the entire morning [working] in this beautiful place in Buenos Aires, Argentina. If it was possible, I would like to take these two spaces back with me to America.
