MOST LOL-MOMENT IN NEW YORK

I do not mind, but I would not be comfortable if I exercized on the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park. Lying down there, taking sit ups while your pt is naging you in front of everybody? No no no.

NEW YORK GUIDE

I have posted a New York guide on UPOP (norwegian only).
I will (when I have time) translate a short version for all my english readers here on BLF.
In the meantime...upop.

MASION MARTIN MARGIELA STORE IN NEW YORK

I am slowly posting out my New York pics, and today I wanted to share the Maison Martin Margiela store with you. Some of my old readers may remember the extreme low fi entrance at the Maison Martin Margiela store in Tokyo?

It seems that low fi are one important part of the stores, also in New York. Due to jetlag we first arrived before the store (and everything else was opened), but later on we got to see the store that featured both the Maison- and MM6-collections. Actually there where two stores, one for boys and one for girls. And with the kindest and nicest staff in all of New York. Unfortunately they did not have the ripped up jeans that I wanted, so no MMM-shopping for me.

The store is located on 803 Greenwich Street in West Village.

NEW BW-DRESS

I also got this Bernhard Willhelm-dress at Seven in New York.

FINALLY! PHOTOGENIC CITY: NEW YORK

I took this picture while looking for the Comme Des Garson-store. Well, this was the entrance I found out ten minutes later...

BACK TO BACK

Back from New York, it feels like I have been away almost for ever. Is it only me or do you also feel that time goes slowly when away from your everyday life? I guess that is what a holiday should do, speed things down a bit.

Anyway, got sick on my way back so in addition to jetlag I also need to recover from food poisoning or something that I caught on the plane I think (airlinefood you know...).

Good news is I got my new laptop today and I have loads of pictures from New York, so as soon as I have installed photoshop and so on there will be some New York related posts here. 

 

NEW YORK CITY!!!!

I am leaving tomorrow for big city of dreams: New York City! Can´t wait. I am trying to pack now, and it is the ultimate what to bring/what to wear-issue.
Also for the first time in years I will not bring my (old) laptop when on holiday, it is going to be great to be completely free. But I will bring my new camera and take loads of pictures for you!
Today I am wearing Keds-shoes, Wood Wood-chinos, sweater from American Apparel and secondhand jacket.

So long everybody!

PLANS FOR SPRING 08

I think it is time to reveal some of my planned trips this spring. 

First I am going to Copenhagen in february visiting Gallery. A quite new and def the best fashion fair in Scandinavia, with lots of good brands from Siv Støldahl to Martin Margiela and some up and coming brands in between. Also some of my best friends will join for the weekend celebrating a good friends 30 th. birthday, so I guess the trip will be fantastic featuring both fashion and good friends. My favourites!

Then, after nearly 15 years of longing and wanting to go, I am going to New York in march/april!!! Finally! Planning on staying for 10 days, so hopefully I will have the time to have a good look around the city. I have already started to plan what to eat and which restaurants to visit (this is very important to me!) and of course I have started to stalk superfuture for the best sites of good food and clothes. Can´t wait!

Any New York tips for me?
