LALA BERLIN / ADDICTED TO SCARFS

Indrømmet, jeg har et problem. Hver gang jeg ser et outfit tænker jeg på hvad for et tørklæde der passer til. Og det er ikke kun fordi det er møgkoldt. Jeg her efterhånden gået så meget med tørklæde at jeg føler mig nøgen uden tørklæde på. Lidt den samme følelse som hvis man har haft langt prinsessehår og i en fart får klippet det kort, til en frisure der ligner en hybrid mellem Rihanna og en hækkesaks hævnaktion. 

To the case...

Har man det ligesom jeg er der her et helt paradis for tørklæde fans. Fantastiske tørklæder i forskellige materialer, også i strik som jeg er helt vild med. Priserne er til gengæld ikke så fantastiske og i tilfælde ved jeg ikke om pris og kvalitet hænger sammen, jeg ejer nemlig (endnu) ikke et piece fra LALA Berlin.

ENGLISH VERSION

I admit it, i have a problem. Everytime i look at an outfit i think of which scarf would match. And it's not only because i am freezing my ass off right now. The problem is, that i have been wearing scarfs for so long now that, when i don't wear one i feel completely naked. It's similar to the feeling you have when you've had long princess hair, and suddenly in a hurry cut it all off to end up with a really short haircut that looks like a hybrid between Rihanna and a scissors action of revenge.

To the case...

If you feel like me, i hereby present you to a paradise of scarfs. Amazing scarfs in various materials, i especially like the knitted fabrics. On the other hand, the prices are not that amazing, and unfortunately in this case i don't know if quality and price goes hand in hand, since I dont own a piece form LALA Berlin (yet).

Courtney speaks

"I'm a good rock musician; I am one suck-ass celebrity, though. It's OK; I would rather be good at what I do and a terrible celebrity than a good celebrity and suck at what I do."

Courtney Love to Spinner.

 Jeg ved ikke hvordan hun gør. Men indimellem rehabs, drug orgier og sinddsyge blog-indlæg formår hun at komme med nogle guldkorn der i den grad sætter vores populær kultur på spidsen. Læs interviewet i Spinner. 

Man sidder indimellem med følelsen af at hun er den sidste mohikaner, eler noget i den stil...

(At hun så indimellem ligner at hun er inspireret af mohikanerne i sit tøjvalg/hårvalg er en helt anden sag).

Courtney Love to Spinner. 
I don't know how she does is. In between rehabs, drig orgies and crazy rants on her blog, Courtney Love acutally manage to say some things that makes sense and sets our popluar clture in relief. Read the interview in Spinner. After reading the interview you are left with a feeling that she might be the last mohican or something. 
(That she alsosometimes seems inspired by the mohicans in her choice of hair and clothes is another case...)

CHANEL

To kategorier. Ægte og uægte Chanel. Det er ikke mange år siden, hvor en fake Chanel var lig med low class, wannabe og udstødelse fra det gode selskab. Det har tidens tendenser ændret på.

Nettet bugner af DIY Chanel og der er gået status i at præstere den bedste fake. Bemærk at den bedste fake ikke er ensbetydende med at skabe en perfekt look-alike, men derimod gerne må gå se fuldstændig anderledes ud end de varer Chanel producerer. Til gengæld er det

kendetegnende Chanel logo altid at finde på fakes.

Det er interessant at se hvordan der er gået mode i fakes, og stjerner som Lily Allen og Kate Moss er hoppet med på bølgen. Der er masser af DIY på nettet, så hvis du selv vil gå i gang er det bare om researche lidt. 

Jeg tror ikke man behøver at være en tilhænger af enten eller, man kan sagtens mix/matche  fakes og reals og nedgradere det ellers meget overklasse agtige udtryk Chanels tøj ofte er præget af.

Two categories. Real and fake Chanel. It's not that long time ago that a fake Chanel was equal with, low class, wanna be and exclusion of the good company. But the times have changed. The internet is overloaded with DIY projects on fake Chanel, and there is credit to earn presenting the best fake. Please note that the best fake is not necessarily a perfect look-alike. The only thing that the fakes seems to have in common are is the well-known logo. I find it really interesting to see how fakes have developed to be a huge trend that stars like Lily Allen and Kate Moss have adopted. There are lots of DIY projects on the internets if you wanna get started on your own.

People have a tendency to categorize people saying that there is a group for real Chanel and one for fakes. I don't think you have to adapt to a group. In fact, i think it's great to mix and match fake and reals to downgrade the often very "upper society" look that Chanels style creates.

Har længe ledt efter den rigtige tætsiddende skjorte til mine højtaljede bukser, og her er den! Find den i sektionen "NEW STYLES".
Prøv at abtstraher fra modellens fjogede udtryk og fedtede hår, og kig på skjorten i stedet. Perfekt til de højtaljede bukser og nederdele, og kan styles op eller ned med en vest eller stort tørklæde alt efter hvor meget hud man har lyst til at vise.
Prisen er 50 euro (375 kr) og husk at porto kommer oveni. Indtil videre laves den kun i sort, men mon ikke de udvider sortimentet som de plejer at gøre?
Kan købes her: americanapparel.net

For a long time i've been searching after the right tight shirt for my highwaisted pants. And now i've found it! Look in the section "NEW STYLES".
Try abstracting from the models goofy expression and her greasy hair, and take a look at the shirt instead. It's perfect for highwaisted pants and skirts, and you can style it up or down with a big scarf depending on how much skin you want to show.
Price is 50 euro excluded shipping costs. So far they only make it in black, but i'm quite sure they will expand the color choices soon.

MORE SALES!

Jeg bliver også nødt til at fremhæve de her sko fra Minimarket. Må indrømme jeg har haft kig på dem i rigtig lang tid. Jeg kan bare ikke beslutte mig, har så mange sko i forvejen, men de her kalder alligevel på mig når jeg kigger i mit overfyldte skoskab.
Jeg er vild med at deres design er en slags hybrid mellem en støvlette og almindelige pumps. Når jeg forsøger at overtale mig selv til at det er en god idé at købe dem, bruger jeg blandt andet det argument at de jo er varmere end almindelige pumps som jo er for kolde at gå i nu.
Nu er skoene på udsalg, stærkt nedsat. De koster lige nu 92 euro (690 Kr) i stedet for €253.00! De ville desuden passe perfekt til dragten fra WOODWOOD.
Skoene er på udsalg hos www.tresbienshop.net
I øvrigt en webshop som er værd at anbefale. Og eftersom deres ting rangerer i det lidt højere prislag er der endnu en god grund til at tjekke deres webshop ud her under udsalget.

ENGLISH VERSION

I have to highlight those shoes from Minimarket as well. I have to admit i have been considering to buy those shoes for a while now. Im still undecided, i have so many shoes already, but it seems like those shoes are calling for me when i look into my overcrowded shoecloset. I love that the design looks like a hybrid between an ankleboot and a regular pump. When i try to convince myself to buy them, one of my arguments are, that they are warmer than regular pumps, and therefor they can be worn in cold times. They are now on sale, they went from 245 euro to 92 euro!

Imagine how great they would look together with the WOODWOOD suit. You can find them on this website tresbienshop.net

The webshop is really worth recommending and because their clothes are in the higher price ranges you now have one more good reason to visit their site – it’s sales!

SALES!

Jeg elsker slutspurten i januar udsalget! Det er her du kan gøre de virkelig gode kup. Ofte er der dog kun store størrelser tilbage, men du kan godt være heldig at finde noget i din egen størrelse selvom du er petite.
Jeg blev selv overrasket da jeg fandt denne her casual buksedragt fra WOODWOOD i størrelse xs på deres hjemmeside. Og oven i købet stærkt nedsat. 112 euro (ca 840 Kr) kan den erhverves for.
Den kan hurtigt komme til at se lidt for poset ud, men med de rette accessoires kan man både style den op eller ned efter behov. Og smart er det, i denne kolde tid, at man kan have varme strømpebukser og undertrøje indenunder.
Når vejret tillader det, vil jeg style den med peep-toes og et blødt feminint tørklæde for at reducere det lidt maskuline udtryk.
Køb den her woodwood.dk.

ENGLISH VERSION

I love the end of the January sales! It's now that you can find the really good discounts. Usually the shops have only the bigger sizes left now, but you can be lucky and find something your size although you are petite. I was surprised to find this casual pantsuit/overalls from WOODWOOD in size xs on the homepage. And the price is also reduced to 112 euro.
Now, one might think that it can quickly look too baggy, but with the right accessories you can style it up or down depending on your needs. And even better, in the cold winter, you can wrap yourself in warm underwear and stocking underneath the suit.
When it gets a little warmer i intend to dress it up with peep-toes and a soft scarf to reduce the masculine impression a bit.
