What I wore – black & blue polka dots

SECOND-HAND POLKA DOT TOP - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD JEANS - ALDO WEDGES. Photo: Mette Bassett

Hoppede i dette outfit i går og videre ned til dette hyggelige sted, The Waterway i Little Venice for at spise og drikke drinks med et par veninder.

Genbrugstrøjen her er håndvævet og af mærket “Villi Hamilton, Canada”, som jeg aldrig har hørt om. Den er et par år gammel og købte den for omkring 10 pund i Oxfam genbrugsbutikken på Edgware Road. Jeg er ret vild med de vilde kontrast-polkaprikker.

English: I quickly jumped into this outfit and out the door yesterday evening to meet up with two friends at this lovely place, The Waterway, by the canal, where we ended up having dinner and drinks.

The jumper is hand loomed and made by “Villi Hamilton, Canada” – a brand I’ve never heard of, but the quality is pretty impressive. I paid around 10 pounds for it a couple of years ago in the Oxfam shop store at Edgware Road. The vibrant colours and vivid polka dots put me in a good mood.

Favourite blog: IS MENTAL

Photo via ismental.blogspot.com

En af mine favoritter, når det gælder modeblogs er IS MENTAL. Bag den står New Yorkeren Amanda, der skriver løst og fast om nye tøjkøb, lager- og kollektionssalg, yndlingsdesignere, anderledes design og gademode.

Hendes smag er rå, street’et, kantet og humoristisk og så har hun en forkærlighed for vilde smykker og sko, genbrug, japanske designere og de mere avantgarde europæiske som Margiela og Demeulemeester.  Og så elsker jeg, at hendes blog ikke er prætentiøs, snarere som en god veninde med fantastisk stil, der prikker en på skulderen og siger “hey, prøv lige at se den her”.

English: One of my favourite fashion/style blogs is IS MENTAL. It’s written by New York-based Amanda, who writes about her new buys, funny gadgets, her favourite designers, street style and sample sales.

Her taste and style is raw, edgy and a bit street and she loves statement  jewellery and chunky shoes and the more avantgarde Japanese designers + of course European stars like Margiela and Demeulemeester. I love that her blog isn’t pretentious. It’s more like a good friend (with very good taste) that lets you in on her personal style and latest shopping secrets.
