Red-hot SoHo

It was scorching hot in NYC for the past two days. You couldn't go out with long pants or tops with sleeves; it was just insane. But of course, I never check the weather and want to sport my awesome outlet find: a 90's acid-washed jean jacket. But alas, it was hot so the jacket became an accessory instead.


But anyways, this jacket is awesome! The sleeves are probably my favorite part, since they're a bit wide and gather at the ends. And for only $5 it was worth taking the time to find it.

Some pink dye and conditioner

Surfing on the web just to waste time sometimes has it's rewards: Last week I landed on Rodeo, a Swedish fashion/blogging conglomerate. One of the blogs featured on the site is from Agnes Braunerhielms, and what I could tell from Google Translate, is mostly fashion criticism and Lady Gaga posts.

Anyhow, Rodeo did a series of videos asking some questions to their bloggers, one of them being Agnes B. So, little did I know Agnes has amazing light-dusty-pink hair. The color is stronger around the roots, and just turns back to her natural (?) blonde hair at the ends.

So, here are some screenshots I took from the video:


New hair inspiration? I think so!

Down in this part of town


Looking through scans of Japanese street style magazines like FRUITS and blogs like Tokyo Drop have become part of my reading hobby now. The people are more adventurous, loose, and experimental with their outfits. Think lots of layers and of course, shoes. And the preferred choice for shoes is platform shoe/boots in a multitude of colors and styles.

I've come to become completely obsessed with these shoes like worn above and shown below in a collage I made. After hours of Googeling, it was found that these shoes come from a small Japanese label, Belly Button from the store called Tokyo Bopper. The silhouette the shoe makes is quite astonishing.


This almost makes me want to become more funky and adventurous when it comes to creating outfits.

Heavy metal lover



Took a trip down to H&M in SoHo last week, and bought these breezy summer pants (and another pair in navy blue) and Wonder Woman-esque cuffs. All needed is a white tank top loosely tucked into the pants.

On & on

It feels so good to start blogging again.


I love the maxi dress, and even own a grey one with multi-colored paint splattered on it. Its length makes such a beautiful silhouette, takes advantage of those curves hidden by skinnies and jumpers, and brings me back to Ancient Greece. And add in silver jewelery like a nice cuff or upper arm cuff, shown below.
