Giveaway | Style Yourself, the book!
I'm so honored to be a part of this awesome book, I thought I could share a copy with one of you guys! The book is really amazing, and that's not just something I'm saying! I can't believe how much work has been put in to it! It is such a wonderful project where bloggers from all corners of the world has come together to create the ultimate handbook; sharing their personal take on style. Not only is it full of amazing pictures from some of the worlds most talented bloggers, but the illustrations and information that comes with it is valuable to everyone: even the most experienced styledevils. I'm not kidding. I learned so much by looking through the book, I almost felt stupid!Do you want to organize your wardrobe better? Check the book. Do you wonder what those pants actually are called?

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.”

The speedway ends at the cemetery.









The past couple of weeks have been kind of crazy. Good crazy! Crazy good? I've been in front of the camera in a non-outfit kind of way more than ever - but I must be doing something right since people want work with me! Speaking of which, this is my latest shoot with Desirée Skalle: The speedway ends at the cemetery. We took a road-trip all the way over to Sweden for this specific location, and man was it hauntingly beautiful over there. Let me know what you think, yeah?
Photographer: Desirée Skalle. Models: Stina Stokkebryn and I. Location: Västre Fågelvik bilkirkegård.I need A Break..

.. 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.
Change of life
Soon 17th of may.. Let the summer begin

Reporting live from work, after 13 hours :)
Handy(wo)man…
I moved into my new apartment last Sunday, and I have not had an Internet connection until now. As the picture shows I am wearing some quite different accessories these days. My new apartment needs a lot of work, and I am not only talking about paint and filler. And since my dad lives 400 km away and I have no money to hire help, I have to do some of it myself – resulting in a lot of bruises and sore muscles.
I will be back soon with som more fashionable updates, but for now, this is as fashionable as it gets.
……….

Today we had a nice dinner outside at a resturant after work, so many happy people enjoying themselves with drinks and food. :)
The pictures are from yesterday, I spent the whole day in the garden and on the terrasse. That day gave me energy to last a week. :)
A New Sketch
Here are a one of the sketches I’m working on at the moment, and I really adore this dress. I’m learning something new every day, and I love to sketch and draw. I’m still working on my portfolio to make it as good as possible with all my best designs. Can’t wait until it’s full of my own work and I have a complete collection to promote later on.
Let me know what you think, lovelies.
SpringInTheGarden
photos by me
The garden is in bloom. But not everything out there is in perfect shape... The hedge need to be cut back, where there should be grass there's alot more moss, and the poor fence need a stroke of paint. With spring comes garden work.
What a day…
Its not the time that matters, its a matter of time
Great weekend with amazing people. A house packed with boys, drinks and champagne and.. guess what.. ME !! I was the lucky chosen girl to be part of a boys night. It went amazingly well, thanks to Hilton I think we discussed more fashion and Paris Hilton than what I do in girlsparty.

So as we speak about drama I might aswell continue on the same path. Am I too much to handle you think? Why is it so intiminating with focused,funny, smart and perfect women like me?! I dont get it..
Its not a matter of time, its the time that matters. Espen Hiltons new song release. To be found in Arena VIP, Barcelona performed live 18th of July. On my birthday. His album is called Espen Hilton. Check out more of his funstuff here

Thank you and good night

Toiletpaper and destiny
Anyways, so I had a discussion with myself and the patient (Miss G) a few days ago. Do you belive in destiny?? Guys, to many things have happened the last weeks for me NOT to belive in destiny. Ill give u a short brief of what was a lifesavior out of the blue!
MOnday morning, 9 oclock. I standing at work pushing myself to the maximum to get through the day. The sweat is dripping from my whiteblue face and I know I should be home in bed. Its a hectic week and I cant allow myself to be sick. The only thing that would make me leave is if my boss told me to leave. A few hours passes and my boss comes over "Mia, go home recover, get better and come back" .. Puhhh thank god, thought I was gonna die if I had to complete the days. Before leaving work I call G. She is home with bad aches in her stomach.
As I enter the door to the boat I just hear gasps and screams from the lower section. I rush down and find poor G sitting on all four in bed gasping for air. The pain is unbearable and I have never seen a person suffer as much as this. After a little while she crawls up the stairway and limps her way out of the boat. Hospital next.
It turns out her gallblatter exploded and they had to do a rush surgery. Things turned out okey but the doctors stated that they dont know how it could have gone if she came in later.. = If I had pushed myself through the day at work (which was the plan) she would have lied at home with a open blatter not being able to do anything. THe pain was so strong she couldnt even call me at work.
That is why, ladies and gents, that I truly belive that destiny plays a part in our lifes. But when it comes to G and I, I think we transmitt messages to eachouther without even knowing. hehe.. Long live BFF`s

G and I camping summer 2010
LONDON HERE I COME!!! 24 hour countdown. Better get rid of this cold!!!
Coming up for air…..
I am TRULY sorry for the lack of uploads this week. School work has devoured all my time, leaving my mind and body completely drained for energy and inspiration. I’ll do my best to prevent this from happening again, but at the same time it is important for me that I don’t just write something on my blog to fill out the “empty space”. I want it to come from the heart and be genuine.
Anyway, today has been yet another lovely Saturday in Cph. with sunshine and happy people. My plan for today has been doing absolutely nothing but RELAXING and reload my batteries….
I decided to pimp my Balenciaga bag with a fox tale, and I am happy with the result. They suit each other perfectly ![]()
Even though it has been a sunny day it is STILL cold, and then a coffee at Café Viggo on Værnedamsvej works wonders.
………
Today I was wearing shirt from Whyred, jeans Current/Elliot, coat Oasis, sneakers New Balance, bag Balenciaga and RayBan’s.
Working with my collection
Today I was at the Bik Bok offices to start the work with the production of my collection. We are five designers all together who have designed different mini collections containing of five key pieces for fall 2011. And you know what, this is just crazy.. crazy cool! Bik Bok is quite a nice place to work let me tell you. When you come into the building it looks like a shopping mall or something, with meeting rooms, and offices for all the different brands in the Warner group. The place is very nice, with cool furniture, and my favorite.. an amazing cafeteria. The designers and buyers who work there are so friendly, and it just seems like such a good environment to work in.
Today we had a little photo shoot, took a profile picture for some press material. And then I sat down with a couple designers and discussed measurements and details for my collection. I’m going back there tomorrow too, to get the final details done. And then prototypes will be made, in China or maybe Turkey. Probably I will get to see the first prototypes in just a few weeks. God.. how exiting!
