got to love the layers of..

I’ve wanted to blog about her for a while. In the meantime she has been well-blogged about and with good reasons. The simplicity combined with the round and soft silhouettes make me certain that every girl who wears one of Lilly Heine‘s pieces will feel edgy and different.

the now is sometimes good

Even though we’re already seeing photos of the Spring 2011 collection from Opening Ceremony, I think it’s important to live in the now (sounds corny, I know) even though the fashion world has already turned its attention on next year’s collections.

Anyway, I like the color palette of the 2010 Fall collection with the off-white, dark red and black – and of course the layering. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have these images hanging next to my closet for inspiration in the early hours, when you sometimes don’t have enough brain activity to pull of any styling of your outfit.

Some fashionistas describe their fetishes as bags, jewelry or short jackets etc. For me, I think I’ve come to realize that my fetish is SHOES! I love finding special and detailed shoes, because I really think they can make an outfit. Wearing some nice shoes make me feel good..and besides that I keep finding myself in-aww by shoes! Maybe it’s because the making of shoes is so distant to me. I can sew – but I’ll probably never be able to create my own shoes.

Anyhow. Epic shoes from Acne in left side. On the right, very 90′s plateau from Vagabond. Finally Minimarket who always seem to do magic when creating footwear!

summer look in question

Okay, so the black boot isn’t at all summer..but how epic is the chunky rubber sole, right? Anyway I think my summer outfits are going to be quite simple. Too much layering – especially in black – is too hot to wear, so it’s going to be clean. The white shoes from Opening Ceremony par Robert Clergerie would be perfect with brown legs and a white douce dress. The cleanness of the first ones (United Bamboo) is lovely! Actually I prefer those compared to the other white lace-ups from F-troupe with the brown soles.

I think I’m slightly convinced that’s going to be the white look triumphing this summer :)

going away on resort

Favorite discovery after a long break from the internet.. News from Acne! Founder Jonny Johansson and his team have simply done what they always succeed in doing: making an increadibel cool and inspiring resort 2011 collection. What I can see of the shoes, they also promise some edgy having-a-lot-to-say designs! Love the third outfit in the burned colors and the shoes seen from the side are sick. There’s still the same strong and powerful attitude about the collection combined with a hint of 70′s feeling to it. Mmh, can’t wait to see their summer 2011 collection!

Anyway, I’ve been away to Roskilde Festival, which was really really nice! There’s still a lot of student parties left but I’m still just chilling and enjoying all the time I have for relaxing!

discovering

I found the picture on the left in a historic database for clothing and shoes. The designer is Herbert Levine and it’s dated to the 1960′s. However there’s a striking similarity to the hyped Eileen Shields Tara boots, right? It always the never ending question in the designer world – when is it copying and when is it natural inspiration?

Anyway, the Tara boots have just arrived in Eileen Shields online shop having been out of stock for ages. I’m really thinking about ordering them, because they are simply epic. I already have some platforms, but it’s sandals so they won’t be any good in autumn/winter. Aaah, I just really want them!

Both the Proenza Schouler shoes are quite epic I think. And the Jill Sanders have an amazing and strong silhouette. Anyway I’m doing my exams at the moment, so I’ve only got a little time for blogging unfortunately.. C.E

Throwing Shapes

I like the overall outcome of this male fashion editorial, but I could have been without the coat on the last shot and the v-neck-sweater something. But still, the silhouette is nice – the dots and I love the form of the white gummi-look-a-like sweater!

I really like this design. It's a perfect blend of the robust, clog-like and studded boot - Ce.cili.E

Acne-spam anno 2008

Som I nok kan regne ud, er både Cecilie og jeg helt skudt i Acne’s design. Skoene jeg har tegnet ring om fandt jeg et billede af for omkring et år siden, og jeg synes simpelthen de er nogle af de mest cool og nice platform/wedges jeg har set. Jeg kan bruge timer på at sidde og lede efter dem på outlet sider som sælger Acne, Ebay, Trendsales osv. – men jeg har endnu ikke været heldig. Dog er de andre sko fra 2008 kollektionen også total cool og ville ikke have noget i mod et af de andre par!

(Ps. ville overhovedet ikke have noget i mod tips om hvor man kan finde Acne sko fra gamle kollektioner)                                                      - Ce.E
