Style update the knitted coat

The double-breasted coat continues to be a key statement knit. Tailored influences emerge for a masculine look with notched collars and revers. Enlarge the silhouette by using oversized collars and turned-up cuffs, while lengths are below the knee. For a retro look, exaggerate the shoulders and extend the hem to the ankle. A super cool look with your slim jeans.

Accessories of the day; Ligia Dias

I love the Swiss designer Ligia Dias' jewelry. She has worked for Alber Elbaz at Lanvin, but chose to go solo six years ago.
Ligia Dias' style is in many ways' nouvelle parisienne ': both elegant and edgy, typically using black fabric, beads and chains or other metal details, and is therefore the perfect link in a wardrobe that would like to be both classic and raw. Love it ... maybe the perfect Christmas gift.

Cool new Nordic online magazine

Like most of you, I love to keep updated with the fashion world and read fashion magazines, so I was super happy yesterday when I discovered the new online magazine Nordic Style Magazine.
It was launched in early December and has dedicated its focus to Scandinavian fashion and design. The magazine wants to bring Nordic fashion and design closer to the rest of the world and can only be read online.
Most of the team behind the new magazine is in New York City, but all the staff originates from countries in the north. The two main people behind, Editor Soffía Theodora Tryggvadóttir and creative director Bjarni Ingimar Juliusson, is originally from Iceland.
You can read it here; www.nordicstylemag.com/
I'm already looking forward to the next edition.
