YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE

Shirt, blazer, belt second hand.

I can't believe it's Friday and I'm actually happy after this week! This upbeat mood of mine might be caused by 4 large cups of green tea, but I don't care! It's Friday and the SPRING has finally arrived. The dry streets correlate with the feeling that anything is possible, everything is waiting just around the corner and you only live twice.

And the question pops up again.

What am I going to do with my life?

This weekend it's work for the ongoing project of dreams to reality.

It's a exhausting project that I question every now and then..

I had a little dress up moment here, in reality I wore a grey sweatshirt over the shirt and nerd glasses. Just because.

LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG

Laura, 2010

NATIONAL ANTHEM

Flower print silk shirt and neon leather belt, second hand.

Feeling like red, white, blue, summer's in the sky, summer's in the air, baby, heaven's in your eyes...

Popular culture oh how you entertain me at times.

Background pictures are work of mine for the CSM portfolio, it's funny to work on a image and then next morning put an outfit on that resembles it!

LIGHT

The weather is cloudy today, with signs of waiting in the air. Excuse my Palahniuk moment!

There is also a scent of cedar lingering in the air, a trace from a Millefiori candle that calmed me this morning.

It has come to my attention that there exists a candle with icing sugar scent by the same brand.

It's an awesome candle, I tell you. I want one for summer.

On top of my magazine pile is Traum Noir issue 3-4 that you can also read online here. The candle holder is Kosta Boda. Weekday and Kosta Boda are actually doing a collaboration together so if you desire a black version you can find one at Weekday store soon.

Enjoy your weekend and burn a lot of barriers you think there exist!

HELMUT LANG JEANS PRODUCED IN 1996

That's what the label of my denim shirt says and 1996 happens to be the year when the jeans line was introduced.

It was about time to mention Helmut Lang in this blog again.

Here is a nice old article to read if you are interested about near fashion history. Especially now when Jil Sander is back at Jil Sander.

Enjoy our week everyone!

FRESH

I received an invitation on Saturday morning to go to a full portfolio review at Central Saint Martins.

I went from being extremely stressed to incredibly relaxed.

Just like this, silly.



Laura is wearing Samu Jussi Koski for Marimekko skirt and second hand college and Charles Jourdan heels.

This is a story I'm working on for the portfolio!

THE FASHION

Wool slacks, leather top, silk robe, silver bracelet, folio belt second hand.

I would love to wear that outfit again with slightly more sensible footwear, like this beautiful pair from Simone Rocha. And I wouldn't mind that particular Palmer//Harding shirt. Crisp! Both items are from the new Fall collections. They seem to go on forever, yet you can't get enough of the fast and satisfying entertainment. I don't have a strong favorite yet, what about you guys?

UNTIL THEN, FOREVER STUCK

See the rest of this fantastic fashion story by Miranda July & Roe Ethridge here. Some things are just too good and some people too talented!

I'm editing a shoot I did the other weekend which I'm quite pleased with. Sometimes things just come together, it's like all the effort you need is to be present. There is the right amount of neon sprayed walls, italian cafes and windy conditions coming up! Until then...
