We’ve celebrated Christmas in Norway, been skiing in the Alps and enjoyed frosty walks and log fire in pubs in London. We truly made the most out of the cold season. In addition we’ve also seen Munthe’s news for SS15… Winter, it’s time to leave!

Walking around high end design shops in London can be a real treat with so many design classics gathered under one roof. It’s in fact so nice that I sometimes wish I could move in! Because bringing home that design recliner or desk -just perfect for my home office without breaking the bank is hard. But there’s other alternatives, when on a budget to touch up your home.

This season must have is leather, as in everything from coats and boots to skirts and shorts. The trend is to mix and match different types and colours, throw in some fur details or chunky knits, add silk or prima cotton next to skin for a feminine touch and you are set for the colder months ahead.
Munthe plus Simonsen has embraced the new trend, with a laid-back glam attitude and a edgy touch.

Michala Franck Ballieu Wiesneck was born in Copenhagen and raised in India, Spain and Southern France. She studied at Chambre Syndicale de Haute Couture Parisienne before working for top designer labels such as Christian Lacroix and Cacharel among others. In 1992 Michala was head hunted by Inwear / ICcompany Group. She stayed their for 10 years before being the creative force behind Day Birger et Mikkelsen for another 8 years. By this it became clear that the only natural next step would be to create her own label, and the story of M. Wiesneck could begin.
Autumn Winter 2013 will be her third collection and shows a eclectic mix of prints and feminine styles. We especially love the silk blouses, the leather jacket and and the tailored black leggings. Let me know what you think!
Autumn is on its way, but there’s no reason to dispair. Colder months does not euqal shabby old wollies. Or at least not according to the Oslo based Swedish fashion designer, Nina Jarebrink. With her new collection for Autumn Winter 2013 she’s introducing feminine styles inspired by the 70’s. Bold colours and sharp cuts by Nina Jarebrink, combined with a accessories line with statement jewellery pieces and contemporary leather bags, creates an ideal wardrobe for special occassions. Or everyday glamour for this decade’s Charlie’s Angels.
And doesn’t one of the models bear a strong resemblance to Carrie Bradshaw!? How clever when introducing fashion trends for the coming season. See moe at ninajarebrink.com

The autumn winter 2013 collection has a Diamonds are Forever theme, with effects like broken glass print on several styles. The draped jersey dress, along with simple silk shirt dresses and loose fit silk trousers are among my favourites. And the stylish pair of zipped statement pump. The list goes on… have a look for yourself, and let me know what you think at designersremix.com
I know we’re still waiting for summer to arrive. But on a rainy and grey day in May I thought I’d might as well share a sneak preview on some gorgeous pre autumn news landing in stores mid June. From Danish designer label Designers Remix comes oversized coats, jumpers, trousers, shorts and skirts in the chic but slightly sporty look we’ve become to love.
I remember my mum had similar white court shoes in the 80’s and as a child I always though they were beautiful.
The red ensemble is to die for, with a simple oversized jumper matched together with a asymmetric skirt. Very bold indeed.
