My bloody valentine

I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day! I spent mine in rather unusual and dark surroundings of the art museum by visiting the H. R. Giger expo with my boyfriend. Giger’s artwork is absolutely spectacular: The whole idea of man meeting the machine, living organisms coming one with technology is so intriguing. When it comes to my outfits and style, I’m often inspired by music, movies or certain athmosphere, and can already tell that this expo most certainly has left it’s futuristic marks on me.

My Sunday outfit was quite relaxed with a touch of dark romanticism to better suit the mood of the most romantic day of the year. The loosely knitted cardigan is another great find I made from Stockholm, and it’s actually from the men’s line this time. I love how it’s so slouchy that even though I stuffed myself to the max at an Indian buffet later in the night, my dinner company or no one in the near tables could really tell. Girls got to have her secret weapons, right?

To get back to the amazing artwork of H.R. Giger, here is the magnificent Debbie Harry wearing and surrounded by Giger’s creations. Truly inspiring!

I picked up this Burfitt waistcoat/gilet from JUS whilst in Stockholm and after trying it on and hearing compliments from both the staff and my traveling companions, I knew my initial instinct about it had been right. I love how it has that 60’s feel yet it looks modern and very “me” when worn with right pieces.

Somehow the gilet was screaming for a white button-up blouse (in the style of Ann Demeulemeester) and since there is a lack of a basic one in my own wardrobe, I borrowed this Roberto Cavalli for H&M men’s shirt I had bought for my boyfriend sometime ago.  I paired  the top part with my AA lame leggins and the brand new Ann Demeuelemeester heels, and so the look for an all easy Saturday was  born. Simple as that!

Enjoy your weekend, lovelies!

For the past month I’ve been keeping my eye on the local magazine stand for a special issue that is on my “must get” list each spring and fall. Today, whilst grocery shopping, the thought of my springlike treat creeped into my mind again and there it finally was: the Elle Collections spring/summer issue!

I love how all the spring/summer fashion is securely wrapped in one large package, making it easy for the eyes to look at the collections and to get inspired. Viewing these images is certainly taking the my mind off from this excessively boring and cold winter, making it like a mini vacation getaway right here in my own living room. This is a trip worth taking!
