Vivienne Westwood Red Label Fall 2011

Wow, the Fall 2011 collection by Vivienne Westood is craaazy! At first I wasn't really sure how I felt about it, but after looking through all the catwalk looks and little details I decided it was a perfect mix of Britishness and wacky fabrics and cuts. I especially like the dainty suits and cocktail dresses, not to mention the oversize queen crowns. The layering looked very good with the plaids, pinstripes and bright confetti colors, and will definitely make it a brighter Fall this year. And I have to mention the fun but scary makeup that somehow perfectly suited the comedic style of this collection.

Crazy vinyl decal stickers

I'm a sucker for home decoration, especially if it's crazy, quirky and colorful. That's why I love the Hu2 vinyl decals I came across recently. These London based designers certainly know how to make something fun that can brighten up any boring old wall - or laptop, or fridge, or toilet etc. They've made high quality stickers for every room of your house and there are plenty to choose from and they ship worldwide. They even make custom stickers so you can get your own mug up on the wall or give it as a present to someone you really hate haha. Ooh, and check out their cool Flash logo.

I really want this Paris skyline one for the bedroom!

DIY Lady Gaga dolls

So I've been seeing these reworked dolls all around and thought I'd share them with you. Looks like the crazy fashions of Lady Gaga is inspiring people to create their own gaga fashion dolls. Some of them look really awesome and iconic. I think that Lady Gaga has succeeded in creating an image that is so unique that it might end up in the fashion history books. Only time will tell. For now I leave you with some of these cool images from the Lady Gaga doll Flickr set.

Pastries in Prague

Last April and this Christmas my boyfriend and I went to Prague and were really taken in by the gorgeous architecture, lovely weather and ESPECIALLY their wonderful local pastry called trdlo or trdelnik. Apparently it means “crazy” bread. It’s sweet bread dipped in toasted almonds and sugar then heated on metal pipes. The blog Gastronomy Domine illustrates it very well. It was a really delicious snack and I just couldn’t stop eating them. I even bought one the last day there and had it for breakfast the day after we arrived home in Copenhagen. Trdlo could be found at the lovely Easter or Christmas markets that were scattered all over central Prague and the small stalls had huge styrofoam trdlo’s hanging from the roofs as signs. It was really lovely and it was perfect for the holiday season. I'll write more about Prague later but for now I'll leave you with pictures of this delicious pastry.
