Style Bytes

Some recent cutouts from my scrapbook. All from Elle, some the Norwegian and some the American.

From the last issue of Norwegian Elle, here’s how to dress as a winter princess:

Fur, cape, chunky knitted gloves and tulle.

Remember the pouffy skirt I bought a while back? Here’s how to do it right: buttened up lace top, fur hat and knits.

Fur muff and more knits. Everything white of course.

A lot of this stuff you’ll find secondhand. Fur hats and fur muffs are best vintage. Check out Ebay for this, I have found some great stuff like this there.

The last issue of Norwegian Elle featured style diaries from a handful of stylish people. I love stuff like this! I love sneaking into other people closets and see how they put together outfits. I picked some favorites.

The bottom #3 is a skirt worn as a dress. Wonder if I have some skirts that will work…

Even though I don’t know a word Italian I bought the Italian Elle the other day. It was 850(!) pages of pure pleasure, and here are some picks.

Model goes Twiggy:

Patchwork:

Nice combos:

What’s better than letting your favorite clothes be a part of your home decoration? I have collected some scraps from the Nowegian Elle.

I have copied the shoes inside of a suitcase idea. I bought some nice old suitcases and paper to dress the insides with at Norway Designs. I keep them stacked, only the top one open with my favorite golden shoes. Inside the others I keep scraps and old memories.

Why not hang some nice clothes up in the window instead of curtains? If there’s a lot of direct sunlight you should be careful having the same garments hanging too long, or they might fade.

Shoes in bookshelves is a good way of storing shoes. They get a little dusty, but it’s so lovely seeing them all at one place!

Or let your favorite items just “casually” lie around the house… It’s kind of nice for all that stuff that doesn’t really fit, but you love so much that you can’t get rid of either.

Some nice stuff from the last issue of iD:

I have a thing for old style underwear.

I love this combination of the white tulle dress and motorcycle jacket. And the red boots from Topshop are so awsome!
