Some more photos from fashion week, outside somerset house.. this was the day I overslept 3 shows in the morning - great.


This whole week is dedicated to the new flat makeover as I want to get as much as possible done before I have to start school again on friday... today I started building such a cool thing.. can't wait to show you when it's ready! again I learned that if you want things done, do them yourself.

portland day one

vintage pullover, old cut off shorts, vintage boots, fjallraven bag



Since it's National Coffee Day, I'll start with these photos from Stumptown in Portland (which is actually attached to the Ace Hotel, next time I want to stay there). I had their coffee every day I was there, it was so addictive. I even brought home a bag of their Hair Bender blend for BF which we enjoyed this morning before driving over to work. Mikey and I came across this location when we wandered around downtown trying to figure out what to do and chatted with the super friendly barista who gave us helpful tips and ideas about where to go (try doing that at Ritual in SF where the workers are sour and rude). Their coffee is way better anyway.

Look at me, I'm wearing shorts! The Bay Area is currently experiencing a nasty heat wave and it seemed like Portland was feeling some of it too. I had been wearing pants on the flight but had to change into shorts when I couldn't take the heat.

Paper cuts

martin margiela paper pants and shoes

So finally a shot of the shoes I gave you a sneak peek of while back! made out of paper by the designers of martin margiela indeed. they are so beautiful, especially worn with matching pants, right? I wore them on the last day at fashion week, and am amazed how I managed to keep them white despite from all the coffee consumed... I was told the paper is meant to wear out with time, the pants can be washed and the shoes are leather underneath so any wear would be part of the character.. love the idea but I don't know if I will ever dare to do that...


The shoes will now go up on my shelf, I allowed myself to get them as I decided to categorize them as decoration.. I mean waaaay more multifunctional than a painting!


Thank you to jill from streetstyle london and shini from park and cube for the photos, I hope to see you guys again soon!

A sew snaps from the hotel room in copenhagen. I needed this little break, now back to my london routine.. fashion week photos.. and back to uni..

A weekend in copenhagen

From all over copenhagen, where I spent the weekned that went by way to fast. the only shopping day I had time for was sunday.. and with almost everything closed I navigated myself to a little local flea market..  It's much more autumny here then what it is in london that always looks the same.. copenhagen seems to be so totally different to london and have so many great designers aswell.. I hope to visit again soon and really really want to come here for next seasons fashion week!!

hope you all had a great weekend!

Definitely a little wang inspiration here.. I was on the fence if it would be appropriate to wear this nighty dress in daylight but I fell for it and already know how to wear it next! I'm digging the pulled over tights seen at the wang aw show, my friend called it the clueless collection which kinda made my love the look even more...

updating from portland...

vintage levis gingham shirt, acne needle high waisted jeans via shopbop, h&m cardigan, vintage lace up boots



I've been delaying this post far too long, forgive me, I've been busy. Last week I booked a last minute flight to the Pacific Northwest (!!!) and I am currently sitting in PDX waiting for my luggage. Which is late. Umm. Whatever, at least I'm here! These outfit photos are from last Sunday when Brent and I went out for ramen while the food ones are from the following day.



shades of greige henley via ssense, b.son cardigan, april 77 jeans, mezlan shoes

Had to include these photos, even if they're just shots where I'm testing out the lighting on BF. Those jeans are so old lol. I guess things do get better with age? Hah. I also wanted to thank everyone for your comments on that last post, it's nice to see that so many of you don't think of me that way and understand where I'm coming from. The internet is a tricky place but I'm dealing with it. Thanks for your support, guys.




Lunch at El Metate in the Mission. I'd been going for their tortas for about a year now but could never get BF to come with me. The thing with Mexican food in the Mission is that you're so used to having at least five or six restaurants in the same block serving so much of the same stuff that you never really bother to wander anywhere else. El Metate is a couple blocks east of BF's place so it's quite a walk but was totally worth it in the end. He had chicken enchiladas with green salsa and I had a torta with breaded chicken milanesa on dutch crunch (!!!!) and torilla soup. Soooooo good. And it's pretty close to Humphrey Slocombe too if you're in the area...





Anyway, since I didn't really get to vacation this summer I'm really glad I'm taking this last minute trip. I haven't been up here yet and I'll be in Portland until Sunday when we take Amtrak to Seattle to help my friend's sister move in. Plus Camille's going to show us around tomorrow which means awesome food and doooooooooooooonuts. Oh my gosh, DONUTS!
