LAST DAYS OF SUMMER

I am soon on my way back to Bergen, but still injoying the last rays of sun in Kristiansand.
I am actually looking  much forward to RAFF 2012, which is a fashion and design week in Bergen featuring lots of talented and forwad thinking ppl!
It kicked off on Friday ,unfortuntely I didn't have time to be there at the opening, but I will be covering some of the events!
Oh, yes, ppl have been asking me about transitional pieces and I have to say that the one I swear to is this mac from Tiger of Sweden, as it goes with complitely eveything and has really cool fit to it.
I am wearing my fav combo at the moment- black leather skirt and fishnet sweater.

I am wearing Tige of Sweden coat, Isabel Marant sweater, Thomas Burberry skit and Alexander Wang heels.

Love,

Irina

LUCKY

I have been spending time in Kistiansand relaxing and gathering energy for the upcomming fashion race month. Believe it or not I haven't taken one pair of high heels for my 4 day stay.Actually, come to think of it I brought only one pair of shoes- my (one and only ) snickers-in neon pink.
I have been doing a little shopping on sales- where I found a pair of these ACNE beauties for Chistian.
It was the only pair left and that in his size!
Whoop, whoop feeling lucky!

Have a great Saturday loves!

Oh, yes I have been staring at Fillipa K catalogue for ages now and I love, love, love how it's done!

PARIS MON AMOUR

 The plaintickets are booked. The hotel on the verge of Seinen is booked. The outfits are all soon prepared! Although it's almost a month until Paris Fashion week I am excited as a little child would be about a trip to Disneyland (while I am at it, maybe we'll visit Disneyland too?!). So, it only seemed apropriate to post 'Pasis mon amour' editorial from Vogue Paris  shot by Mario Sorenti.

PARIS here we come!!! (in a month or so, after London and Milan, but still)!

Have a great weekend loves!

MY PICKS!

OK!So here are my picks!
Now, I didn't want to choose some outrageously cool in-the-moment pieces.

 I ended up with a garments that I could update my fall/winter weardrobe with and that will be in my closet for (I would like to think  is) ages.
A statment jacket  from Etoile Isabel Marant ( in my fall colorobsession: army green! ).
It goes  superb with leather skirts, pants, jeans, shirts, tee - well you get the point! I haven't got it, yet I already love it!!!
Supercool heels from Isabel Marant that I have had cravings for. Seriously my type of shoe , from tip to the heel and the studs.  The Stella Mccartney skirt, which I don't think even needs explenation (I will pair  it with a white shirt and the jacket above or the sweater when the temperature drops!)

And the last, but not least - Etoile Isabel Marant sweater that I can't wait to wear!
So all in all - this was much wished fall weardrobe update,  I can mix and match, and sure will be abusing this fall.

Seriously can't wait for them to arrive!

Once again I can't thank Net-a-porter enough!!!

Love,
Irina

PS. Have a great weekend folks!

GREAT NEWS!!!

Sometime ago I was contacted by Net-a-porter to inform me that I have been chosen as the winner of the 'Best Dressed Facebook Fan' competition - which was -at the time- complitely un-beli-avable!
Really, it was such an honor for me to be chosen amongst all the people who submitted their photos and looks on the world wide basis.
(Pictured above is the winning outfit.)
Even more so, when I found out that the prize was an outfit chosen by myself within the prize budget.!!!!
The whole outfit from net-a-porter for free!
To say that I spent hours surfing trying to decide is a slight understatment, but finnaly I manged it (believe it or not!!)
I'll post my hot picks later on today!
For those who wander :  Mccartney and Marant are a little hint!

ON MY WAY TO KRISTIANSAND

I am off to warmer place than Bergen is currently -thus the skirt!

I am wearing Fillipa K silver leather skirt, Alexander Wang sweater, Manual purse and Armani sunnies
