The Beautiful And The Boring

September 30, 2011






Song of today:

We Are Stars - The Pierces




Rose Mesh Jumper: American Apparel 

Wine Red Skirt: American Apparel 

Yellow Bag: Romwe

Platform Boots: Modekungen

Lipstick: MaxFactor [Bewitiching Coral]    



Happy Friday, you beautiful and never boring ones! I wore this a few days ago, the photos are shot when me and Cornelia were on our way home. I have been eying this white mesh flower jumper for several months now and when I was in Stockholm last weekend I finally had to buy it, and I am so glad I did - it goes so well to most things and a perfect sweater this season.

The fun thing about wearing this sweater on that particular day was the fact that Cornelia decided to wear the EXACT same sweater, haha! She borrowed it from her sister and we came to school looking practically the same, just shows how extremely much we hang out, we're starting to think the same thoughts. So scary, right? 

 Now I have to get ready in order to meet up my class from 9th grade for dinner at a delicious Chinese restaurant. 

We'll see each other tomorrow!

Autumn Wool

September 28, 2011





Blue Cape: Romwe

Red Wool Sweater: mom's/vintage

Leather Bag: Wera

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell




 Wool is something most of us relate to autumn and winder, and least that's what I do. This absolutely wonderful burgundy red sweater was found me my in my mother's closet a few days ago, it's about twenty years old but it still looks as good as day one - that's why I more and more only buy and pay for clothes by the quality of them, not quantity. A wool sweater might be a bit more expensive than an acrylic one but you get those few extra dollars back by the fact that you can wear the wool sweater a lot longer before it falls apart.

The Australian wool company Woolmark is right now having a campaign called "Fashion By Feelings" where anyone can contribute by uploading a look featuring a wool garment, and have a chance to win a $12 000 dollar trip to Australia in the spring. Totally awesome, only a few days left though - so participate if you feel like it! CLICK HERE

My answers: part one

September 27, 2011



Do you know Paris?
If I know Paris? The city? Paris Hilton? I know both but I must say I’m a lot more interested in the first one! ;) I’ve never been yet but I would love to go to Paris in the near future, it seems like such a magical place!

Är du blyg? 
Jag är blyg i vissa sammanhang. Jag var väldigt blyg när jag var ännu yngre men jag har blivit mer utåtriktad med tiden. Fortfarande idag är jag dock lite blyg och osäker när det kommer till att prata med främlingar. 


 Hur gör man för att tycka att man själv är fin?

Det är nog den svåraste frågan att svara på, för vem som helst. Jag tror att vi alla har dagar och stunder när vi känner oss fula och ogillar oss själva, jag vet själv att jag har haft och fortfarande har enormt många sådana stunder. Då spelar det ingen roll hur många komplimanger och fina saker säger om dig, för det måste komma inifrån – hur klyschigt det än låter. Jag har insett att jag måste inse själv och tycka själv att jag är fin för att någonsin kunna tro på det någon annan säger. Och det tar tid, jag är verkligen inte där än och jag tror att de flesta av oss aldrig kommer att nå dit helt. But that’s life ;) 

Vad är du intresserad av förutom kläder?
Mycket! Jag älskar att fota, inte bara kläder och mode men även omgivningar, detaljer, människor och städer. Jag älskar att resa, vara med mina vänner, se på film och lyssna på musik! Haha, jag är intresserad av många saker! 

Hur hittar man sig själv? Du är så himla fin!
Tack så oerhört mycket, tjejen! Oj, jag är nog inte rätt person för att svara på detta eftersom att jag inte är helt säker på att jag ”hittat” mig själv än. Jag tror att vi är olika personer i olika perioder av våra liv. Jag har varit ”flera personer” fram tills nu och jag kommer att fortsätta förändras och utvecklas, därför tror jag aldrig riktigt att man kan hitta sig själv. Man hittar några delar i taget och ju äldre man blir desto fler delar har man hittat, men att hitta alla? Det kommer vi nog aldrig att göra.  


Do you ever get conscious when you take your photos?

 Haha oh you have no idea, I can get so conscious! But often my mom or my friend shoots the photos and I know them so well so they make me relaxed, if I’m shot by someone I don’t know that well I always get this very strange look on my face. I think most bloggers are pretty self concious, even if they don’t admit it! ;)



which is your most expensive thing you have ever buy ???

  I don’t know. I suppose it was my leather jacket from Acne, it was kind of expensive but totally worth it!

Hi Amanda.
First of all, i want to say, that you are definitly my styleicon number one :)
And then I just wanna ask these questions:


1. How do you get the money for all the fantastic clothes that you buy? Do you have a job or? :)

Thank you SO much, first of all! I’m so happy to hear you think so! As for your question, I get money each month because I go to school but also I have this blog which gives me  bit of extra cash! ;)

2. Who is taking your beautiful pictures?

It’s either my mom or my best friend Cornelia who take the photos of me, they’re both so great to work with and so incredibly talented – I’m so grateful to them! The photos of everything else I take of course, I also edit all of my photos myself.


3. What is your favourite item?

That’s a really difficult question to answer for someone who loves clothes. But I really love my leather biker jacket from Acne, it’s perfect and looks great with everything!



Hey, Amanda! I just want to say that I now am eager to go to Sweden because of your photos (it looks so beautiful there, and they way you describe it, it seems magical). Would you live in Sweden forever?

 Hi! That’s great to hear I’ve done some good commercial on the behalf of my country, haha! And yes, it is indeed a very beautiful country in many ways but I would not like to live here forever. It’s a wonderful country to grow up in and it’s a wonderful country to work and live in but I want to discover something new as well for some time in the future, then when I’ve done that I will be happy to return again!

Are you only Swedish (nationality) or are you also part of another culture?

I am a 100% Swedish, at least what I know of.

 

Do you have a sibling?

 Yes! As a matter of fact I have 3 older brothers whom I love very much and who treat me exactly like older brothers should: they tease me and they mock me but they’ve always been very protective and supportive of me as well, in everything I've chosen to do. 



 I've posted a question already, but I thought of another one. I know you're a big fan of Gossip Girl, which I am as well, and I was wondering if there is a character on the show that influences your own style and that you look to for inspiration. For me, it's a little bit of Jenny and Vanessa mixed together...

Yes, I am indeed a big fan of Gossip Girl! I’m so excited that the 5th season just started. Well, a lot of people have told me I dress a lot like Serena, my style was even compared to hers in the magazine Sofis Mode by the wonderful Annika Marklund. So I guess I dress a bit like her, we have the same blonde hair and the same interest in bringing back the trends from the 70s. I also am a huge fan of Blair’s style and even some touches of Jenny’s style. But let’s face it, they all dress insanely good on that show! I love Lily’s style as well.



Hej Amanda!
Vill bara inleda med att säga att jag tycker du är fantastiskt vacker. Du verkar vara en naturlig och jordnära tjej vilket jag älskar och din blogg gör mig alltid glad! + att jag älskar din musiksmak och alla låtar du tipsar om :) Så jag undrar om du skulle kunna länka din spotify lista eller liknande? Du kanske redan har gjort det tidigare men jag skulle bli väldigt glad om du gjorde det igen i så fall!
Du är bäst tjejen!

 Åh tack så väldans mycket! Blir så ruggigt glad av att höra sånt! Ja absolut, här är lite länkar till några av de listor jag lyssnar mest på nu: 

denna lista innehåller princip alla låtar jag lyssnar på just nu, 222 låtar och blir fler och fler hela tiden! Om du vill veta vilken musik-typ jag är ska du definitivt lyssna på denna!


 låtarna på denna lista är verkligen perfekta att träna till, åtminstone för mig! Man får bästa peppen av dem! 

Bad Weather:

är i princip vad den heter, låtar som man kan lyssna på om det har regnat flera dagar i sträck dygnet runt och man undrar om det någonsin kommer sluta? 

  




 That's all for now, you asked me so many questions! I have to do my answers in parts so you won't get bored with me! ;)

The Blue Riding Hood

September 26, 2011















 Song of today: 


Wolf & I - Oh Land 







 Blue Cape: Romwe

Green Dress: Romwe

Yellow Satchel: Romwe

Shoes: Modekungen

Rings: Romwe/Modekungen




Haha how funny is it that I'm wearing a basically all-Romwe outfit? Well what can I say - I love that store! Anyway, I had an awesome weekend in Stockholm, except for the Monki event you already know I was at I visited my brother and his family, did some Stockholm-stylish-shopping and just walked the streets up and down with my camera. The weather was a wonderful (but windy) clear-blue sunny kind of a mix and my leather jacket turned out too be a tad to warm for the fairly high temperature. 

Now I'm gonna spend some time answering all of the questions you asked me last week 


xoxo

Monki Flagship Store Opening, Stockholm

September 24, 2011






Me and Ebba attended the Monki Flagship Store Opening on Thursday in Stockholm, and let me begin this by saying one word: delicious. 

From the gorgeous multi-colored macarones and various other tarts to all of the incredible Monki clothes lined up and thrown around all over the store, to the extremely well dressed people who were in this store on Thursday night, the evening were bound to be successful. And it was. Some of these events tend to be stuffed up and boring but this one was none of these things, it was fun and playful with colorful beverage and colorful food. And for all of you who know me, know that I am a sucker for Monki clothes - and this night made into an even worse Monki-addict, if that is even possible. I wouldn't know...

Streets of Stockholm

September 23, 2011









'Rita' Leather Jacket: Acne

White Shirt: H&M

Skinny Jeans: Monki

Shoes: Modekungen




 
Stockholm might be (correct sentence: always is) among my favourite places in the world, whenever I go here I just always feel the urge to move here. Really have to do so in the future. Yesterday me and Ebba walked the streets before heading for the Monki flagship store opening, which was one of the best events I've been to so far! You'll see tons of photos from that very soon.

Now I'm gonna head out, do some shopping and just walk the streets of my favourite city.

 (details shots from an outfit I wore last week, more to come later on)


Yellow Satchel: Romwe

Blue Cape: Romwe



I just realized I'm wearing two things from Modekungen and two things from Romwe in these photos, how silly of me!  

Anyway, right now I'm in Stockholm at my brother's apartmenet, just came home from a super-mega awesome event I'll tell you all about later on!

For now, you can enjoy these detail shots from last week - when Cornelia and I decided to head straight home to me and then straight out to the empty road near my house to shoot some photos, it was cold but beautiful and we both had colds but we were having so much fun!
