New shops in London

I was just about to update my London Guide/scrapbook, and I have found 2 exciting new shops, I just have to share with you;
First of all the cool American Opening Ceremony is opening their first outpost in London, The spacious shop floor stocks Opening Ceremony brands from around the world. Cult U.S. favourites like Patrik Ervell, Proenza Schouler, and Opening Ceremony's own men's and women's lines its side-by-side next to British labels as well as brands from Korea, OC's featured country of  2012. The shop is located in beautiful Covent Garden; 35 King Street

Also Dutch Scotch & Soda finally opens the doors to their very first London stores. That's right, multiple stores.
On the lovely Westbourne Grove shopping street in Notting Hill, they have opened a Maison Scotch and a Scotch & Soda. You can find Maison Scotch at number 170 and shop for their men's gear right across the street to 181st

I'm already looking forward to visiting both on my next inspirational trip to London.

 

DIY Bead Collar

I've previously written about the small collars that you can update your outfit with. Now, as we approach Christmas the small bead collars is very present in the fashion picture... therefore I feel like making a little DIY project.
I took one of my favorite worn denim shirts and a lot of beads.

A little glitter and beads gives a nice feminine update to the casual shirt.

'Fade to W'

Weekdays new brand 'Fade to W' lands in stores this Saturday. The new brand is built on guest designers, and twice a year will be presented a new collection with a new designer in charge. Stine Goya is behind the first collection, which among other things features sharp cuts, prints, lace and pastel colours.

The collection is available in Weekday stores from Saturday and I can’t wait to get a closer look at the delicate styles.

Mind the Gap

I always find lots of inspiration in music. Right now I love listing to the critically acclaimed and award-winning Danish pop-soul singer Nabiha Bensouda. Right now she is back with a brand new single; Mind the Gap, which gives us a taste of the album, which should hit the streets next year. But it's not just her music that is inspiring also hers style is super cool and inspiring. nabihamusic.com

Boudoir Grunge

Boudoir grunge a super cool trend for the x-mas collections, it is an unexpected combination of soft lingerie styling with relaxed 90s-influenced layering and boyfriend tailoring. It is the perfect mix of masculine and feminine just as I love it.

MARTIN MARGIELA DAY

Today was the day where the MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA collection hit the H&M stores and I was ready at the store in Aarhus, Dk.

It is a beautiful and exciting collection with lots of fine and special details, my favourites is an asymmetrical ankle-length dress with a different dress across, draped over the shoulders, the oversized sailor jacket in wool and last but not least the super cool booties in leather with pointed toe and edged wedges of acrylic plastic.
