“Myspace Muse: April
Though the path to discovering your personal style is usually a solitary journey, every once in awhile we find ourselves stuck in front of the mirror, unsure of where to turn. Luckily, we can always gain a little guidance and inspiration from our Myspace Muses, as they’ve got sartorial savoir-faire in spades. Hailing from all corners of the globe, we like to think of these fashion plates as our compatriots in the ongoing search for superlative style. Not content to merely follow the current fashion, these girls stand out by creating their own trends, or, impressively, making trends their own. Whether it’s the way they boldly wear the season’s most challenging silhouettes, assert themselves in studded heels, or revamp girly skirts with boyish basics, these ladies motivate and encourage us with their personal panache. So try a little help from these fashion-minded friends when wondering what to wear—we promise they’ll leave you with plenty of trendsetting tips to help you on your way!

An all-black outfit keeps the focus on a fashion-forward silhouette.Playing with color is always a bold choice, but sometimes the opposite is equally true. As demonstrated by Anna-Marie, 26, from Finland, restraint can be completely chic. Take her harem pants, for example: by keeping her outfit all black, she turns the spotlight onto their interesting cut and shape. If you’re intrigued by these cool contours and want to try a few similarly designed pieces, start with Vanessa Bruno’s Asymmetric Frill Blouse ($460). We think the subtle frill will add a feminine touch to any outfit. Another way to summon-up style is with Maje’s outstanding Harem Pants ($445). The slouchy cut is definitely directional, while the supple suede is an unexpected and luxurious upgrade. However (because today we’re full of options for you!), if you prefer to test out this trend without total commitment, you can always turn to your favorite leggings-and-tee purveyor—American Apparel. The unconventional brand is currently stocking their own version of Harem Pants ($40), which is an excellent buy with amplified style at an understated price.”

P.S. My name is spelled Anna-Maria but that’s alright, everyone always gets it wrong. 😉

Springspiration

Since today’s weather was so fine and everyone else had abandoned the city for the Easter holidays, my boyfriend and I decided to go for a little walk and look for some good photo shooting locations. We didn’t have to walk to far when we spotted this messy construction zone at a yard of an old hotel. The contrast between the constuction junk and the amazing 1920’s building was somehow very attractive: a mix of old and new, ugly and beautiful. Just perfect!

Nice sunny days like this make me want to dig in my closet for more spring type clothes. These white jeans, that I’ve tapered myself, haven’t seen the light of day in a long long time but are as springy as springy can get. It’s fun to realize how something you wore back in 2002 and thought wouldn’t come back this soon, seems so fresh again (I also have a pair of pink skinny jeans from the same era waiting for the right moment to arrive. Me + pink = scary, eh?). The sunshine also lured the leather jacket and the Cherry Bon Bons to come out of my closet, giving the just the right splash of color for the outfit. Oh how I missed you spring!

Pretty woman, walking down the street

Haha, is anyone else getting Pretty Woman vibes from my outfit? It’s all alright because Pretty Woman is a classic and the inspiration for the outfit actually came from my favorite spring collection and not the working girls. I wore this ensemble for Thursday night’s Hang the DJ club but Easter has kept me busy, so no time to share this with you until now.

Buzzing

Yesterday we were celebrating my friends b-day over a couple of drinks and attended a vip sale. The score of the night was good times with friends, a slight buzz and a new purse. I must say shopping while you’re a little buzzed off of sparkling wine is kinda fun but I don’t recommend it since it causes wreckless credit card usage. It’s no wonder they always serve sparkling wine at store openings and vip nights…how sneaky of them!
