Patti Smith review on Penciltwister’s blog:

As you might have discovered – Ida and I share a passionate love for Patti Smith.

Ida being the one introducing me to her.

And as you also might have discovered, if I feel very passionate about something, I can’t stop but tell everyone around me.
So, if you still haven’t read Patti Smith’s Just Kids – this review/ introduction might just be what you need.
GO READ HER BOOK.

More Copenhagen Street Style – I will keep going until I run dry..

Love the retro look. Not sure about the decade though – so let’s make a broad statement and call it retro look

Sometimes it can get all costume-y, but this time I just love it. As always with Fiona.

Street Style Continued – now to the ultimate hipster

 

 

in line with my last prose on the dressing pressure in Copenhagen (oh, but there is no pressure, it’s all very casual and lalala..), I hereby present to you: the ultimate hipster (yes, I still use that word).

Why the ultimate*?

TMAs
Raybans
A rusty old racer bike
rolled up pants and sleeves
Nike frees
and a loose bagpack
oh yes, and casios.

hola, Isabella

* If he were a real hipster I wouldn’t know half of the brands he is wearing, ’cause they would be all oh so underground and “individual”..

Going all in on the Street Style in Copenhagen today

Today I took a lot of pictures. 
as in seriously, a lot of pictures.
I also have my sister and brother visiting, 
who are luckily used to me whispering
 "wait stop",
 or
 "crap, I'm too slow", 
"oh no wait, try to stand still 
so I can take a picture of 'you' ". 
It's going to take a while 
before I've edited them, 
so here a quick preview.

Zulu awards – major style bummer, Aura

I’m sorry – I feel bad about being negative, like I’m gonna be (and it’s nothing personal, sorry Aura!!)

Ida talking in green coat. I gotta jump into this post and comment directly. No isa, don’t be sorry, Aura should be kinda sorry. Or fire her stylist.

But JESUS – what a CRAPPY outfit! √
I know, it gets one point for matching the colour of the necklace (which is pretty) with the lipstick – but Come on – WHAT A HORRIBLE OUTFIT? Isabella, you are absolutely right on the money. the necklace is awesome ( actually Tommy Ton material, no?)

• Don’t do white if you don’t have a models’ figure. Just don’t.
• Don’t cut off your legs with black tights when cutting them off again with silver shoes (like white, black, white – how on earth should a Zebra-look be flattering when executed like this?)
• And what’s with the mix of styles? Like – Oh I’m fashion forward, I know white ‘s the shit next season. Though also, Oh I’m so cute, but also brave and wear weird bow tights. But hey, I reeeeally like MiuMius shoes and haven’t come further than wedges – so let me get some of those too.

But hey, I really feel sorry about bitching here – but on the other hand – that’s what the red carpet is for, right? So that the brave ones can make fashion faux pas and then we can learn from their mistakes?!

Am I too harsh? Nope.

This truly testifies how Coco Chanel’s advice should be applied: Dress up and then remove three items of your outfit. in this case we’re talking the cover-up shirt, the bow-tie tights and the shoes. (just wear normal black Manolo’s or anything else. and black/beige tights. no bows. not this time)

We might seem tough. Long live the unfiltered blogusphere.
