CHANEL MAKE-UP HØST 2011
June 27th, 2011
Chanel introduserer høstens makeup-kolleksjon; Illusions d’Ombres De Chanel. Kolleksjonen er inspirert av den herskapelige og kunstneriske stilen og fargene på håndverket i House of Chanel.
Kollekjsonen byr på shimrende bronsje, gull og platina. Dette kombineres med rike og dype plommefarger, khaki og kobber – til både øyne, lepper og negler.
Høstens trendy negler kan bade i unike refleksjoner av metallisk grønn, sølv og beige. Det blir spennende å se om det blir tilsvarende gale tilstander rundt noen av disse lakkene… Da den mintgrønne Jade-neglelakken fra Chanel kom, ble det hysteri og lange køer. Høsten 2010 satte Chanel sin neglelakk nr 505 en ny standard innenfor mote- og neglelakkverdenen.
Øynene skal glitre i høst med ekstravagante shimmerskygger. Leppene skal være i samme deilige fargetoner som i fjor høst; myke beige- og rosavarianter.
Kolleksjonen er tilsalgs hos Chanel sine kosmetikkforhandlere verden over fra og med juli 2011.
ANGELINA JOLIE FRONTER LOUIS VUITTON
June 26th, 2011
Den vakre skuespillerinnen Angelina Jolie (35) er luksusmerket Louis Vuitton sitt nye ansikt utad. Hvert år er det to ulike kampanjer fra det eksklusive motehuset. En mer high-end high-class, og en kampanje som heter “core values” – kjerneverdier.
Årets kjerneverdi-kampanje skal fremme ekte og sunne verdensverdier – noe Angelina klarer med glans. Her er det aller første utgitte bildet fra kampanjen med Miss Jolie.
Bildene er tatt av den anerkjente stjernefotografen som ofte tar bilder for Louis Vuitton, Annie Leibovitz. Stemningen på bildene er naturlig og ekte, uten luksus og overdådighet. Angelinas jordnærhet passer derfor perfekt til denne reklamekampanjen. Bildene er tatt i en trebåt i Kambodsja, hvor Angelina faktisk poserer med sin egen (og brukte) Louis Vuitton-veske og i sine egne klær.
At photoshooten fant sted i Kambodsja er ikke tilfeldig. Angelina adopterte den første sønnen sin, Maddox, herfra i 2002. De siste ni årene har hun vært på gjentatte besøk i det asiatiske landet sammen med sin stadig voksende familie.
Angelina går da i historiebøkene blant de stjernene som har frontet veskegiganten. Tidligere har både Madonna, Lara Stone, Scarlett Johansson, Bono og Keith Richards frontet det franske og eksklusive merket.
Vesken Angelina har gikk forøvrig ut av produksjon for flere år siden, så vil du ha denne må du se etter vintage på eBay. Men kanskje blir det stor etterspørsel etter nettopp denne modellen, så LV gjenopptar produksjonen av den? Kanskje til inntekt for en god sak også i regi av Angelina… Det hadde ikke vært dumt.

TREND: COLOR BLOCKING
June 26th, 2011
Sommeren 2011 byr på en fargesprakende palett. Såkalt “colorblocking” er fargetrenden som virkelig har markert seg. Colorblocking er sterke kontrastfarger, satt sammen i uvanlige kombinasjoner; som f.eks. å dele opp antrekket 50/50 i hver farge.
De hotte fargene i sommer er blant annet koboltblått, ceriserosa, gult og grønt. Fargekombinasjonen som går igjen som kanskje den aller hotteste er orange og lilla.
Colorblocking er noe vi også har sett mye av på catwalken for denne sesongen. Gucci er den som stikker seg aller mest ut, men også Proenza Schouler og Richard Nicoll er med på fargeleken.
Det var Gucci som for alvor startet orange-og-lilla-hypen med en av sine kjoler for vår/sommer 2011. Denne kjolen har vist seg å bli en kjendisfavoritt, da både Kim Kardashian og Charlotte Casiraghi har brukt kjolen på den røde løper. Supermodell Lara Stone har også hatt på seg Gucci-kjolen på forsiden av Vogue, samt Mad Men-stjernen January Jones hadde den på seg på forsiden av Marie Claire.
Det har rett og slett blitt ville tilstander over denne fargerike Gucci-kjolen. Nesten slik det ble over Balmain sin gullkjole i vinter…
Andre kjendiser som også har blitt med på den orange og lilla fargetrenden er Rihanna, Cheryl Cole og Jessica Alba.
La deg inspirere av kjendisene og catwalken! Mulighetene er uendelige med colorblocking, og du kan skape unike antrekk som ingen andre har. Metallisk tilbehør er superhot til de sterke fargetonene, som f.eks. bronsjeveske, sølvsko eller gullbelte. Synes du skimrende tilbehør blir “too much”, så gå for det nøytrale og klassiske i sort og hvitt.

Kjøperen, som foreløpig er ukjent, deltok i auksjonen via telefon.
Reynolds har samlet filmkreasjoner over fire tiår, så hun har en eksklusiv samlig. Planen var å stille ut alt i et eget museum, oe som det aldri har blitt noe av. Ifølge CNN skal fru Reynolds ha grått da den hvite Monroe-kjolen ble solgt…
Kjolen Monroe bar i “Herrer liker blonde piker” ble også solgt, den gikk for 6,6 millioner kroner.
Den anerkjente og fabelaktige kjolen Audrey Hepburn hadde på seg i filmen My Fair Lady ble også auksjonert bort, den gikk for 20 millioner kroner. Den massive og majestetiske hodepryden Elizabeth Taylor hadde på seg i filmen “Kleopatra” ble solgt for 500 000 kroner.

Round Two | Nokia and ELLE: Barbro Andersen for the next Style Correspondent
June 24th, 2011
Wow, we made it! Thank you so much for voting for me in the first round of Nokia and ELLE's search for the next style correspondent! I'm through to the next round, and little did I know that the number of likes from the previous round still count! Some girls and boys are now waaaay ahead of me with likes up to a thousand! How can we beat that? I'm not giving up, that's for sure! The next assignment is as following:
"In 250 words or less tell us why you should be The Next Style Correspondent!"Oh my, where do I begin? I’ve never been really good at convincing people to do anything they don’t want to and I’m not about to start now. Life is about trying new things and having fun. It’s about taking chances - and that’s what I’m doing right now. Sometimes I feel the world of high-fashion has forgotten about the art of having fun; and I think we need to put the fun back in fashion! It’s not about owning the most expensive things or being the prettiest of the bunch - but about creativity! Being experimental, fearless and bold – being you! Being me. It’s a constant adventure; always changing, evolving and ever-growing – and we are a part of that. I am a part of it! As a Style Correspondent for Nokia and ELLE; going to New York Fashion Week will help me evolve into the next era of style – and share this week-long celebration of fashion from a new perspective. My perspective. Life is a journey, and as we are traveling through it - we connect with people! You all know Nokia is about connecting people – and coincidentally; so is blogging! We just need to remember to keep our heels on the ground and have fun with it all. What I can bring to the table is not a bunch of hocus pocus: just my perspective, and that’s what makes me unique. I’m passionate, hard-working and most importantly: I put my heart into it! Do I have your support?
That's exactly two hundred and fifty words - to the dot. Do you think I deserve to go to New York Fashion Week as a Style Correspondent? Just "like" my picture here! We can make it - I know we can! It would mean the world to me!
Check out my first post in the competition here!
Azzedine Alaïa disser Anna Wintour og Karl Lagerfeld
June 23rd, 2011
Designeren Azzedine Alaïa ga nylig et intervju hvor han disser Vogue redaktøren Anna Wintour og Chanels Karl Lagerfeld. Alaïa bryr seg tydligvis ikke mye om å legge bånd på seg selv, og det kan man ikke annet enn å sette pris på. Det er vel godt at ikke alle smisker med hverandre av og til også! Dette sier han om de to mektige motemenneskene:
“I don’t like his fashion, his spirit, his attitude. It’s too much caricature. Karl Lagerfeld never touched a pair of scissors in his life. That doesn’t mean that he’s not great, but he’s part of another system. He has capacity. One day he does photography, the next he does advertisements for Coca-Cola. I would rather die than see my face in a car advertisement. We don’t do the same work. And I think that he is not doing a favor to young stylists who might think it works that way. They’re going to fall before they retire.”
Om Anna Wintour:
I said it before. She runs the business (Vogue) very well, but not the fashion part. When I see how she is dressed, I don’t believe in her tastes one second. I can say it loudly! She hasn’t photographed my work in years even if I am a best seller in the U.S. and I have 140 square meters at Barneys. American women love me; I don’t need her support at all. Anna Wintour doesn’t deal with pictures; she is just doing PR and business, and she scares everybody. But when she sees me, she is the scared one. [Laughs.] Other people think like me, but don’t say it because they are afraid that Vogue won’t photograph them. Anyway, who will remember Anna Wintour in the history of fashion? No one. Take Diana Vreeland, she is remembered because she was so chic. What she did with the magazine was great, with Avedon and all the great photographers. Vogue remains while its fashion editors come and go.”

H&M – New Guest Designer
June 22nd, 2011
H&M by Versace is designed by the creative director Donatella Versace and is said to be a tribute to the fashion house’s legacy with use of leather, prints and colors. As you can see in the picture below Donatella is wearing a dress from the H&M collection – a taste of what we’ll find in the stores. The dress show us what Versace stands for; slim and sexy with classic patterns and has beautiful details.
I personally love Versace’s designs, and believe this collection will contain classic garments. The collection includes – women, men and interior decoration. It will be in stores from 17 November. Looking forward!

Inspiration & Portfolio
June 10th, 2011
Here are some fashion sketches from one of the books I bought in New York. I really love this book because it shows different styles of drawing, ways to design and how to make a good layout.
I’ve just finished my portfolio with over 40 different outfits, and I’m really satisfied with every look. Can’t wait to work in photoshop, choose fabrics and compose the layouts. I’m really happy and excited for what’s next. I’ve a plan, or actually many, but where to begin – gonna be an adventure in it’s own.
I’ll post some of my newest designs tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Summer’s Here!
June 8th, 2011
What better time, I thought, to start writing my blog than the beginning of June, the official start to summer?! Being more than a little obsessed with clothes and fashion, I often eagerly await the turn of any season, and the new trends that come with it, once the current one draws to an end. Updating my wardrobe for the summer months however, does get me squealing significantly louder than I might the rest of the year. As a full time student, I can probably associate summer with FREEDOM!!! a lot more than some, but I also find that the fashion of summer brings with it freedom that everyone (even those living in the scary grown-up world of full-time work) can embrace. The bolder colours and prints and the combinations of loose and flowing with chic and classic make getting dressed in the morning that much more fun and interesting. I also find it a lot easier to be expressive with my outfit when I don’t have to hide away under layers of jumpers, coats and tights as I find they can sometimes clutter a bold outfit, whereas in the boiling heat you can experiment and make a statement with far less clothing.
As it is a particularly warm day here in the beautiful South-East, I felt eye-catching colours and a little flesh on show would be appropriate. Sadly, although my wardrobe definitely knows it is summer, my winter insulation (as I will politely refer to my extra weight as) isn’t aware yet and my skin tone certainly has some catching up to do!
One of the biggest S/S trends this year is colour blocking which I absolutely love; it’s an excuse to clash colours and step away from the safety net of combining a bright colour or bold print with something neutral and plain. Every Chanel lover knows that stripes always have and probably always will be one box you definitely should tick if you want to be on trend, but over the last year or so there has been huge steps away from the traditional black and white and stripes have become so much more versatile and experimental. I love that this shirt and mini-skirt combo takes care of two trends in one and the weaving on my satchel just tops it off with a subtle injection of 70’s style.

I need A Break..
June 1st, 2011
Photos: Private
.. from work, school, photoshoots, fashion,high heels, e-mails, stress and citylife.
Therefore I`m taking my mom and my dear (and offcourse my cat, Kebab, is joining us) on a trip this weekend. We`ve rented a car and booked a cabin outside Tønsberg. Should be absolutely fantastic to completely unwind from everything.
Currently working on three major projects. As all require LOTS of me. Looking forward to being finished with it,even if it`s all things I really enjoy working with. There`s too much work for too little time.
In 9 days is the examination of my three worst subjects( Business, Marketing and Law). So now it's this one weekend off before I start the marathon-reading.I'm hoping for a good grade, maybe a B or a A. It takes a bit of me but is not unachievable. Wish U all a wonderful weekend. For me it`s all going to be about relaxing 100 %, drinking Baileys, facemask, read magazines, go for A walk, playingcards, and movietime.
Maybe I even stop by the blog during the weekend. If not, see you around.
