Shopping in the great USA

Last week I was in the great States of America to visit family and friends. The Twin Cities in Minnesota – Minneapolis/St. Paul and the beautiful country side of Wisconsin!
As always, I got excited about the American made items that are better priced than in Europe and with the dollar in our favor, why not go for it.

The best buy was the Olympus camera XZ-1 a fantastic point and shoot!
In Banana Republic I bought a black long sleeve shirt and a classic skirt from the petit line, so it fits perfectly to my 163CM J In a charming shop in “Uptown” Minneapolis I found the t-shirt you see in the middle – nice and loose! Aveda hair products are made in Minnesota and therefore half the price of Europe. The same is the case for Redken and KMS J
In Barnes and Noble I found a wonderful calendar for 2012 with shoes – can’t wait till next year  so that I can replace the French landscape that is the theme for our 2011 calendar, although also beautiful. In this great bookstore, with a Starbucks attached, I also found books about Blogging, Yoga and Fashion.
A few carmex, daily multivitamin, Tony Bennett Duets CD,  American vogue and BIG earrings raps it up :-)

Chanel Boy Bag

The new Chanel bag launched this fall is just absolutely fantastic! I got a glimpse of it at Milan Fashion Week and had a closer look in the Chanel store in Via Sant’Andrea in Milan, as well as the good-old world wide web ! The verdict is clear: it is being put directly on my wishlist for items that will last a lifetime!

The inspiration for the bag is nothing less than a great love. Karl Lagerfeld explains; “Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel.”

The amazing Helena

Today I want to share some pictures of the lovely Helena Christensen.
I find her to be an admirable woman in fashion and life. She is cool, does amazing work - also behind the camera and she seems to have a great take on life.
And then she has her very own amazing style!
