Spring has come to New York. Sunday brunch was spent at Nero D’avola in Meatpacking with the best
food and unlimited belinis! Accompanied with an art show one block down: Mr. Brainwash presents Icons!
Go see!

Posing with Andy Warhol art at Madame Tussauds last night. I was asked to put on some pants
by a bypassing man, met a lot of `celebrities` and bought a collectors Barbie at Toys R’ Us.
You’re as young as you want to be!

Blouse and trousers: H&M Trend, shoes from Steve Madden maddengirl and
necklace borrowed from Benedicte - bought second hand. Thank you, B!

Today’s excursion with class went to Mood Fabric. You might recognize this store from Project Runway?
It is a Mecca of fabrics - you can find anything! Mood sells designer close-offs, which means that every
fabric is unique and will not be produced again. The employees are engaged and happy to help! A trip to this
store is inspiring and very tempting! I bought two yards of grey jersey cotton, which is without any cutting
a perfect scarf (at one third of the price compared to the ones they have at Zara f.x)! I shot too many photos,
and here are just a few.

We went to Century 21 today, a place where you will be able to find a lot of scoops: Shoes from Miu Miu,
Chloé, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Prada ++. I found myself a pair of Manoush shorts. If you pay this
store a visit you definitely have to look through a lot of garbage, but suddenly you’ll find the perfect dress
or blazer 70% off. Be patient and take a trip to ground zero!

A recommendation to anyone going to New York: Apollo Theater in Harlem!
We went there with school today and it was really fun! Wednesdays are amateur 
nights, even Michael Jackson was discovered here with Jackson 5!

Their link here.

On Friday we visited the designers Levi Okunov and Sloane with our class.
Sloane reconstructs vintage pieces and put them together as the most fabulous
and innovative designs! Visit his blog here to find out more about the designproject.

Go visit the store “1929″ at 174 Mott Street (North East corner of Mott and Broome).

Outside the Diane von Furstenberg show February 14th.
Notice the little girl with the Hermes birkin!

.. it’s my birthday!!

Alexander Wang part 3.
Basically we saw all the people I admire and look up to for their work. Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Sarah Rutson, Carine Roitfeld, Julia Roitfeld, Scott Schuman, Garance Doré! I don’t think I have to explain how much this means to a girl interested in the fashion business (not only in buying clothes). Also saw Alice Dellal, Pixie Geldof and the Cobrasnake! A lot to take in in one day!

Alexander Wang’s fall/winter ‘10 girls. Freja Beha Erichsen, Agyness Deyn, Natalia Vodianova,
Iselin Steiro, Natasha Poly, Karlie Kloss, Sasha Pivovarova, Abbey Lee Kershaw and many more!

I’VE HAD THE BEST DAY EVER!!

We went to pier 94 where Alexander Wang held his show this afternoon, hoping to maybe see a model or two. Make that twenty, and add about every important person in the fashion industry! I will post a WHOLE LOT more the upcoming days, so stay tuned! In the meantime, you can look at some of the shoes and bags attending the show. I can reveal that some off the shoes belong to Vogue editor Sarah Rutson, french Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld and her daughter Julia.

Day 2 of Fashion Week has come to an end - and it has been crazy so far!
Models, celebs, artists, you name it: Margherita Missoni, Chris Brown, Estelle,
Natasha Poly, Sasha Pivovarova, Joe Zee, Irina Lazareanu and Hanne Gaby Odiele ++.

Some pictures from my friend Mette.

Thursday night, we went to Tenjune! Great club!
On our way home we passed the Alexander McQueen store in Meatpacking.
The windows were covered and there were so many flowers and candles outside.
Rest in Peace!

Wearing new dress from H&M Trend (yes I have a lot from H&M) bought on sale for $15! 

Our first week here in Manhattan has been filled with sun.
But today, as the second picture shows, there is a “snowstorm”.
We Norwegians have to laugh at the Americans who even closes
down the schools in Manhattan! Btw; some of you have already
been asking some questions about “Moteledelse” that I study through
the Norwegian institution Gateway College. But if you have any questions,
shoot, and maybe I’ll make a post out of it!

Yesterday we visited Magnolia Bakery (sooooo good) and Marc by Marc Jacobs.
I bought matching earrings to the necklace I already have and those cheap key chains!
We spent the night eating dinner at leSouk and then we went to the eco-nightclub Greenhouse!
If you ever go to New York, make sure to check it out!

Yesterday we watched Super Bowl, danced at Juliette and the night ended in a limousine!
Now we’re off again after a long day of school, shopping and cup cakes.
Only in New York, kids.

We finally got our self out of the scam and into a new wonderful apartment!
We have a walk-in-closet and a great view, and we can even sleep at night!
Now we’re off to a Manhattan treasure hunt with school,
and later we are going on a boat trip to Statue of Liberty. Watch out New York!
