Style Bytes

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…

I am planning to add a street fashion part to the site, and I have barely started by taking pictures of people at parties. This may take a while though, first of all cause I’m very busy, secondly cause I think it’s a little embarassing taking pictures of strangers…

While I work on getting that part up and running I have had a look at different websites with street fashion from around the world.

Hel Looks feautures pictures of street style in Helsinki. Apparently there are many who are inspired by Japanese street fashion, but there are also some very original looks.

For Japanese street fashion, check out Fashion in Japan for those outfits that aren’t way out there. Tokyo Street Style is a little better, though.

The Cobra Snake has party shorts.

2 Threads is a website that offers weekly mails containing fashion snapshots. You don’t even have to remember stopping by the site!

Several magazines and newspapers keep track of what ordinary people are wearing. Many of you have probably already seen the sections in Style.com and Elle. Also New York Times features street fashion once in a while.

Other good ones?

Last night I was at a party at this new place called Champagneria. There were free drinks and tapas and the espering soul star Sofian was singing. Some lucky people (including myself) also got his CD. The place was packed with Norwegian celebs and fashion people, so I wanted to catch some of them on camera for you. This proved to be difficult since the place was very crowded. But for my first attempt of taking pictures of innocent people I guess you can bear with me…
