New York trendwatch

I just got back from a lovely trip to New York. My mission for the journey was to fill up the 'inspiration account' for coming collections and let me sum up my observations with one word: NEON. I have never seen so much neon in my life and in such great ways. It didn´t feel '80´s teenage' but contemporary and fresh. Clothes, underwear, accessories, shoes, interior, menues at restaurants...it was everywere. To add this trend in to my home I think I will make a painting with neutrals and lots of neon!

Todays fave

I am an obsessed Pinterest user. The constant stream of lovely images is served right in front of me and I am excided every time I have a look. These are my favorites of the day. I am still working on my weight so any picture with food makes me happy. And who doesn´t want to spend a lazy afternoon on that terrace...

Let´s have a fashion moment

This post have nothing to do with interior but I just can´t resist to post it. These are a small selection of photos by Tommy Ton, known from Jak & Jil but also photographer for Style and GQ. Outside the fashionshows are were the really interesting clothes can be seen. No one can ever say that the fashionistas and fashion magazin editors wear 'the black uniform' anymore. When I started to work in this buisness it felt like black was the only option and now it´s the other way around. I love the colours, the crazy matches, the 'over the top' styling and the freedom to express yourself. Never say that fashion isn´t fun!

A fresh breeze

Every week Ikea hemma is sending out photos as inspiration. Most of those photos pass without getting me very excited but today was an exception. I really love the mood in these pictures. The first two makes me want to go to bed right away (saying that in a possitiv way...) and the other two have a nostalgic air that inspires me. A fresh breeze a grey day like this.

Tuesday mood

Today it´s all about enjoying the sensation of spring. A fresh salad, a moment in the sun and some fresh flowers on the table is all I ask for.

Holly & Whyte

For the last ten months I've been working on a new collection called Holly & Whyte for Lindex. Today is the big launch and I am superexcited! To see more of the collection please visit a Lindex store or the website.

I am in the mountains skiing this week and only have my Ipad to write on so therefore I can not link to any of the websites. A "small" bug with Blogger and Ipad....

New adventures

I´ve just packed my bag for an exciting trip to Shanghai! It will be my first trip there so I really look forward to it. Sorry for the rare posts lately but a terrible internet at home and too much at work have made me invisible here, but things will change when I get back. Until then, have a great time in the spring sun!!

Pastel time

If you have for some reason missed it...let me tell you that pastels are one of the key trends this year in fashion. It started out with Philip Lim, Prada, J Crew, Acne (and a lot of others) letting models down the runway in both pale and bold pastels. The fashionworld went crazy and soon everyone else followed. You will see a lot of it in the stores this summer, all the chainstores and smaller brands were quick to pick this up. Of course the interiorworld is doing their way of pastels. I really like the mint mixed with the nude wood...
