Latest buy: H&Ms spring collection



... is now a part of my closet! When I saw the pictures from H&Ms new spring collection I absolutely fell in love with this 50s inspired floral dress. It's amazing!





I got my hands on it today. You can buy it on their online shop but since I want to bring it with me to Gran Canaria it wouldn't work with the online shop - they don't deliver it until week 3 and that's too late for me. Luckly the had it in my local H&M shop.


It's a bit small fitted - especially around the bust. I'm normally a size 38/40 and I had to get this in a size 40 - and it's still a bit tight around the bust. So if you have big boobs I would probably recommed that you go a size up! As you can see in my photos the colours is a bit darker than on the pictures from the website. Especially the purple colour is much darker in real life. But it's stille gorgeous! It reminds me of a dress that the character "Søs" has on in the "Far til 4"-movie "Julebal i Nisseland" - I've tried to find a picture, but I couldn't.









Are you going to buy anything from the H&M spring collection?

Christina Aguilera for Topshop?


The rumor is that Christina Aguilera is gonna design a line for the famous english high street brand Topshop. This line would NOT replace the line that Kate Moss does for the brand - they would both be sold side by side.


I don't know how excited I am. I'm not a big fan of Christinas style - I think she has a tendency to be too slutty. But maybe she will be a great and creative designer and then it's just up to us to style each item in a none-slutty way. Anyway, I'm sure this line won't be dull. Are you excited?



Dreaming of... Glitter heels!

There's not much time left before we're in 2009 and that means only one thing: New years eve! Personally I can't get enough of glitter and glam for that one night of the year and these heels are as made for that night. Personally I like the ones from Nine West the most - I like that they're closed at the heel, but have the peep-toe holes.

Buffy-mania

I don't start school until the 1st of february so I have a lot of time left to do what ever I want. Me and Mr. Boyfriend started our own "Buffy-marathon" yesterday and my/our goal is to see all 7 seasons before I start school. (I own all seven seasons my self, of course!). We're almost done with season 1 - only two episodes more.

This probably doesn't come as a surprise to any of my friends. Everyone knows that I have been a big Buffy-fan since elementry school. Some of my classmates even called me "Buffy" as a nickname in 8th and 9th grade. Lucky me, Mr. Boyfriend quite likes the show also - especially their humor... it's very unique.

Here's a mix of some of the best scenes from season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer:






I've always been a Buffy/Angel girl. I've always thought that they where the right match and right couple. I HATED when Buffy was "dating" Spike. I don't know what that was about?! This next scene is the sadest scene ever. It's from the spinoff series "Angel" season 1, episode 4 called "I will remember you". I still haven't watched this scene without crying. It's just to sad.






Have you ever watched the show? What do you think of it?

Wanna get away for a while... + lovin' Jason Mraz

I just feel like wanting to get away from everything these days. I wish I could just disappear for some time and just get away. But I can't.
I'm looking forward to going to Gran Canaria (in 13 days) more and more. I need it.

I don't know if it's my state of mind these days or what, but I'm so in love with this song from Jason Mraz's new album. It's called "Details of the fabric". Here's the song (he hasn't made a video for the song... yet?) and some of the lyrics. I hope they're true.



Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Worst dressed in 2008

2008 is almost over and every year these "Worst dressed" and "Best dressed"-lists are made. And my blog is no exception. I'm starting with the worst dressed of 2008. Some celebs makes mistakes from time to time and other celebs just have bad taste. Sometimes I wonder if any of these people own a mirror (or a stylist)?

What makes it a bad outfit? Well sometimes the outfit is just plain-ugly - other times it's because of styling or because it fits the person wearing it very badly. It could also be two beautiful pieces (maybe a skirt and jacket) that are gorgeous on their own, but when put together makes a big ugly mess.


These are the 12 Worst dressed in 2008 in my oppinion. They're in random order! Do you agree with me?




Dana Delaney in Pucci

I seriously don't know what Dana (known from Desperate Housewives) was thinking when she put this on and went to a redcarpet event. Seriously? It looks like something someones grandmother (with bad taste) would wear. Get a stylist, Dana!




Jessica Biel in Louis Vuitton

How the hell did Jessica manage to take a very cool dress like this one and make it look as crappy as it does on her? The dress it self is not bad at all, but it fits Jessica so poorly and it looks 4 sizes to big for her. And it's SO not cute that she's doing a copy of Scarlett Johansons signature pose (her feet).




Christina Aguilera in Pucci

Maybe I'm just not a fan of Pucci's prints or maybe it's just Christina that looks like a hooker from the 80s? I'm going with the last one. I hate, hate, HATE this top/dress. And the styling too - the shoes and make-up is just SO wrong. The only good thing about this outfit is that her boobs doesn't looks as HUGE as they normally do.





Kira Kneightly in Chanel

Ehm... Kira, your dress is see-through! The dress it self is just so-so, but on Kira it's boring and the fact that the lower half is see-throug is just so tacky! If Kira had a nice body to show of then maybe the dress would have been more interesting, but she's just a stick-figure with a big hed. Eat something!





Lil Mam in ?

I really, really hope this is a joke. If not, then the joke's on her! I haven't been able to find out what the brand of this horrible and weird outfit is, but it's still ugly as hell.





Madonna in Louis Vuitton

"It's almost christmas so today I'm gonna look like a christmastree" - I guess this is what Madonna was thinking when she was putting on this dress. Either that or "tonight I wanna look like a green ostrich". And don't even get me started on her legs! If you have as ugly legs as that then you shouldn't be wearing shorts dresses like this at all!! Period! (Her hair is gorgeous though).





Solange Knowles in Armani

What is it she's wearing? A modern christmastree? Fur/feathers with bling-bling? I just don't get this outfit and it's not pretty. But I do actually feel bad for Solange. She wasn't born into a family with great fashion taste to begin with. Her mom designed most of the clothes for her sisters girlgroup Destiny's Child (I rest my case, well... not completly) and her sister actually had those outfits on!!!! Her big sis, Beyoncé is also on this list... surprise, surprise!





Christina Aguilera in Roberto Cavalli

Christina has had a very bad year fashion-wise. When she got pregnant her boobs got so ridicously huge that she look ho-ish in a lot of clothes that girls with a "normal" cup-size would look great in. But when she knows this (I'm guessing that she owns a mirror) then I just don't get why she kept showing up in lowcut AND short dresses. It doesn't get more ho-ish than this. And the colour and shape of the dress is pretty either.





Blake Lively in Vena Cava

There's another Gossip Girl-cast member on my best dressed list, but it's not Blake Lively. Blake started the year 2008 good fashion-wise. Her outfits weren't very fashion-forward, but they were cute and fittet her image as the sweet and bubbly all-american girl. But the last 2 or 3 months it has been down hill fashion-wise for Blake. It's like she's not even trying anymore. Vena Cava has made some really, really cute dresses and Blake has even worn them on the show before. But off-camera she fails big time. She looks like someone who lives in a small unknown village in this dress (and what was she thinking when she styled the dress with these boots?! OH-MY-FUCKING-GOD Blake!!).





Beyoncé Knowles in Jean Paul Gaultier

"My ass is the size of a house that's why I'm trying to attrack your attention on to my boobs and the weird sequin-fringe-thing on my legs".... and how is that working out for you, Beyoncé? The outfit looks to costumy and it looks like something her mom could have designed for her... and that's NOT a good thing!





Agyness Deyn in ??

Agyness went from unknown to supermodel-star during 2008. I think she's so hyped and overrated. And I don't get her or her style. It seems to me like she keeps insisting on turning up on the red carpet in kitchy and very ugly clothes - just because she can. And I don't get that. I know that the 80s has had a big comeback this year, but this is taking it too far and Agyness should return this skirt (and hat) to the 80s and let it stay there.



Mary-Kate Olsen in Marc Jacobs

I seriously couldn't stop laughing when I saw this picture of Mary-Kate. Did she play dress-up with some younger cousin and then forgot to change before she went out the door? I don't get the dress (ugly print and colours + it looks 4 sizes to big AND long for her) or the weird hairband she has one. So weird and not pretty.






THE RUNNER-UPS:

There's always some runner-ups who doesn't make it to the list. I have two that I was considering wether or not to put on this list. They didn't make it, but I want to mention them anyway so here we go:


Taylor Momsen in ?

Other Gossip Girl-cast member on this list. All the girls wear such GORGEOUS clothes when being ON the show, but when they have to dress them selves off the camera everything goes wrong. Taylor looks like a crack-ho. The make-up is SO SO SO wrong and the dress is SO too short. And she's only 15 years old - would you even believe that from these pictures? Taylor, you're a pretty girl, but loose the heavy make-up and dress a bit more like your age.





Bai Ling in ?

EVERY single year Bai Ling makes it to every single Worst Dressed list there is on this earth. And she deserves it. I don't think I've ever seen her in a cute or gorgeous outfit. I had so many outfits to choose from when I was picky her to go on the list - every single thing she's wearing is just plan weird or ugly. I don't think she will ever change. She's like Agyness Deyn - she does it because she can. It's her thing.




Do you agree with me? Or are there some outfits you actually like on this list? Comment and let me know!!

Reviews of my latest purchases

I love shopping online - I can find everything I like from my couch... oh joy! I recieved these today:




I've just recieve this oversized grey top with lace back Topshop. It's just as gorgeous as on the pictures from the Topshop website. It's a bit big though and I could probably have used a size smaller. But I'm just gonna use it with a black belt to give my body some shape. It costs 28 £ and it's still on the webpage. You can find it here: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&productId=989319&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=



I've also recieved this dress from French Connection UK - bought on ebay UK. The seller must clearly has been very confused when she listed the add with the dress on ebay because it's not the same colour as in the picture she used in the add (the pic on the left). On her picture the colours were very blue and my dress is grey (pictures on the right). Other thing is that she wrote it was a size UK 10 (euro/danish 38), but when I got the dress it was a size UK 6 (euro/danish 34) - so I was in shock! There's no way I could fit a size 6... but I did! - as you can see in the picture. Very weird...


... what do you think of my purchases?

Gran Canaria, here I come!

Gran Canaria



Oh I'm counting the days! Me and Mr. Boyfriend have just paid for a very cheap cancellation holiday to the sunny island Gran Canaria! We're going there for a week in the beginning of january and I can't wait! I'm so sick of this cold and windy weather (but not the eartquake - how did I manage to sleep through that??!) and I need the sun.

We're going to stay on the southern part of Gran Canaria - near the area of Playa del Inglés and Playa Maspalomas. We're planning on seeing other parts of the island too - most likely Las Palmas (I know people who live there).

I'm counting the days... 19 days to go. Less than 3 weeks :D
Are any of you going anywhere warm this winter to get away for a short while to get some sun?

Betsey Johnson for H&M??




American designer Betsey Johnson might be the next designer who will design a collection for H&M... the keyword being might.
CEO Chantal Bacon said:



"Ms. Johnson is planning a limited-edition design collaboration with a retailer that will likely launch in the fall".




She did not say WHICH retailer she would do it for, but different sources online are betting on H&M or Target (american brand). Since we don't have Target in Denmark then I'm of course hoping for H&M.

Her designs are known for being a bit over the top, very girly (if Barbie was a real girl she would totally love Betsey Johnsons collections) and not affraid of animal prints or bright colours. Here's a taste of her designs.
Would you love to see her design a collection for H&M?

Kate Moss for Topshop - 3 more years!



I'm happy. I'm a big fan of the collections what supermodel Kate Moss has done for the english high street brand Topshop. And now they have agreed to keep working together for at least 3 more years. Yeah! In the future we'll also be able to own Kate Moss for Topshop accessories and lingerie.

I don't own anything from any of the Kate Moss collections yet, but I really, really want to get my hands on these 3 dresses:

Top 6 Best Britney videos - EVER!

I'm sick and I'm really bored - so I'm totally spamming my own blog tonight - sorry. I don't think there's any doubt about Britney being back and hotter than ever, but lets look back on all of her videos. I've chosen my personal 6 favorite Britney videos. It's NOT necessarily the 6 best songs - I've just chosen these mainly because of the videos, not the songs. Here's my list and why I've chosen them:






Stronger


I still get goosebumbs when I watch this video. Brit looks hot and the dance sequenses with the chair and the cane are so cool! (Press play to see the video)







Toxic


One of Britneys biggest hits ever - and I understand why! The songs is SO great, Britney looks INCREDIBLE, the "story" in the vid is funny and the video looks expensive. (Press Play to see the video)







I'm A Slave 4 U


One of Brits other big hits. Again, she looks amazing and I love the dance sequenses and the VERY sexy vibe the whole video has.






Someday (I Will Understand)


I bet some of you are thinking "Why the hell did she puts this video on the list?". Well, I think it's beautiful. I love the fact that they made it in black and white. And I remember what Britney looked like at this time; she was pregnant with her first boy and she gained a LOT of weight. On every papparrazzi photo from this periode she looked like crap, but then she made this video... and wow, she looks amazing, calm and so gracefull. FYI: Britney wrote this song her self.







Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman


It's not one of my favorit songs, but the scenery is fantastic.





Circus

Britneys newest single from her new album. Brit looks amazing, I love the outfits, the circus theme, the dance sequenses... but most of all I love the scenes with Britney in the small sparkly outfit with the firework in the back.


Do you love my list? Or do you think there's some videos missing? Which Britney video is your favorite?



Quote of the day - Lily Allen

I got the idea of doing a "Quote of the day"-blog once in a while. I will be quoting both celebs, politicians and friends (so be aware of what you say - haha).

Here's todays quote from british singer Lily Allen:


"Madonna is the most overrated artist of all time. Britney is a goddess and her new album is amazing."


Lily Allen to BBC



I couldn't agree more. I absolutely HATE Madonna. Yeah, she was big in the 80s - and I get that. She made great music back then. Now she's just an old, ugly and nasty lady who can't seem to get that she's not 20 anymore. I'm sick of her skimpy outfits and botox-filled face. And her music has sucked a lot the last couple of years. Britney on the other hand is back and hotter than ever. I love Bit-Bit. Do you agree with her (and me)?

Celebrities in clothes you can afford # 2 - Topshop

It's time for another one of these. As I said the last time when I did one of these with H&M; it's nice to see when the stars are wearing nice clothes that we all can afford. Today it's stars in clothes from the british high street brand Topshop. Do you wish that any of these clothes were hanging in your closet?



Solange Knowles in green prom dress from Topshop. The dress is really cute but it's too bad that it looks way to short on Solang.



You can also find clothes from Topshop on the set of the tv hit show Gossip Girl. Here it's Taylor Momsen in a grey lace dress from Topshop.



Mischa Barton is looking super cute in this Topshop dress with star print. I would love to have this one my self!



Kelly Osbourne is looking very ladylike and sophisticated in this dress from Topshop.



Britney is very rocker-chick in this outfit with a long t-shirt from Topshop. You can still get this top at topshop.com



Katy Perry was wearing a hairband with a huge pink bow from Topshop when she was the hostess of this years MTV Awards.



Lindsay Lohan in a blue sequin dress with bow detail from Topshop



Kate Moss in a black dress from Topshop




Kira Knightley in floral chiffon blouse from Topshop
