december wishlist

The weather has been crazy here in Norway, with lows of -17 degrees Celsius. My days have overwhelmed by all the stress of exams. Fortunately I have one last exam before the long over due Christmas holidays! I felt I really needed to update the blog so I decided to come up with a small wish list of my favourite picks from Motel Rocks, Topshop and Black Milk Clothing. This particular wish list, unanticipatedly, ended up having a dark colour palette, which I think is perfect for winter.

1. Geek Sweatshirt from Topshop. The first item on my wish list is, surprisingly, a sweatshirt. This sweatshirt from Topshop is just a essential, casual piece for winter. If you ever need something cosy to relax in, this is the thing. 

2. Galaxy Leggings from Black Milk Clothing. This piece has been everywhere this year. 75 dollars for a pair of leggings may seen insanely over priced, and it is, but these are just so gorgeous. The galaxy print is the exact mix of purple, pink and blue hues. 

3. Studded Acid Wash Denim Shirt from Topshop. A denim shirt is a staple, almost crucial piece in every man and woman's wardrobe. It can be worn in a tremendous amount of different ways. This particular wash and silhouette adds rough, grunge look while still delivering a feminine edge. 

4. Motel Petrolena Strapless Dress. This dress is breath taking. It is so simple, yet brings such a great impact. The dress is a versatile, and brings a romantic however dark vibe. 

5. Zatchels Black Leather Satchel. The final item on my wish list is a satchel. A plain, black satchel would be perfect to start this new year off with! Practical and dainty, it would be marvellous choice for dressing up a dreary school day. 

Thats it for my little wish list, what do you think? What is your biggest Christmas wish? Hope you enjoyed reading and have a great day/afternoon/night! 

Leather.

"Long hair minimises the need for barbers; socks can be done without' one leather jacket solves the coat problem for many years; suspenders are superfluous."- Albert Einstein

Leather, all mighty leather, even Einstein loved leather. Leather has been a staple in every rockstars life for years. Now, even us normal people can get a taste of this edgy material. A leather jacket and shoes used to be almost the only way one would wear leather. Of course, in our day and age, we have come up with breath taking ways of wearing the bold textile. Pleather skirts, leather pants, jackets, shoes and more. A leather vest thrown on a chunky cream sweater for a hint of leather or a bold pair of leather pants to make a real statement. My personal favourite is when leather is studded. It gives a perfect air of edgy rocker-ness. When you see a girl wearing a studded leather jacket, you know you don't want to mess with her. Leather can come in so many different shapes and silhouettes. As I mentioned before, a leather jacket has a androgynous hardcore tough feel to it, meanwhile a flowy leather skirt gives a delicate and dainty feel.  Leather assembled with fabrics like denim or a thick knit are classic approach for fabrics that go well with leather.

Tell me what you think of this classic textile? How would you wear leather, comment below!

Silvian Imberg Swimwear Show

Thanks to the lovely Pop Spoken team, I had the greatest privilege to experience Silvian Imberg's swimwear show on Saturday at the tents @Marina Bay Sands, part of Fide Fashion week. When I arrived at the event, the place was already buzzing with atmosphere, well known Singaporean bloggers (mentioned below), snazzy socialites to slightly demanding photographers, it was definitely a fabulous night! Unlike any other normal swimwear, Imberg's show incorporated of lavish bikini's, elaborate one piece costumes and flowing kaftans.

These two kaftans were definitely the highlight of the show for me. Soft hues of pastel pink and cyan blue gave the kaftans a very flirtatious and relaxing feeling. Kaftans are great for wearing to the beach, or to show off in summer. I have a penchant for all kinds of prints, which you would find all over my closet, so to see these gorgeous prints on the runway was definitely one of my highlights.

"Pretty in Pink" was the next theme that Silvian had chosen to incorporate in his designs. These looks were a little TOO girly for my taste, with ruffles in mostly every swimsuit of the theme, it looked slightly out of place and tacky, to be honest. Aside from that little piece of criticism, I adored the intricate beading in these swimsuits that accentuated the womanly figure. After every flawless model walked out in her swimsuit, she would be wearing simple but classy golden or silver shoes, which I really loved. A nice pair of statement heels is something all women should have.

This was my second fashion show I've been to, my first one being Zac Posen, and hopefully many more!
