Nailing It

One exam done, three more to go. The next one is Wednesday, which means I'm still stressed out, so here's another quick filler post with stunning images. The exam? I think I nailed it. Other versions of nailing it:

First image is from i-D winter 09/10, the second one from Bootstrapperboy.

This may or may not be a day too late, but I'd still like to wish a happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate it. While we don't do Thanksgiving here in Norway, I'd like to take a moment and mention how grateful I am for all my readers and all the comments I've received lately. You all motivate me to continue expressing myself though this blog. Unfortunately, I've just not got the time to visit other blogs or comment back at the moment, as my first of four exams this winter is next Monday. I promise I will be more social in a few weeks!

And as I'm incapable of posting without adding a picture, here are some turkey shoes from Prada:

Cold as Ice

This must be the perfect party season editorial recipe; take one part gorgeous ice queen Snejana Onopka, add clothes that show off her long legs, keep the colours to a minimum, shiny fabrics are good, add a little drama with the eye make-up. Simple and effective, and I love it.

Wait, What?

I don't think I'll ever be completely done with the Accessory Report, there's always something interesting to point out. This time around I dug up some oddities among all the great design. Here's a small dose of ugly and weird, to balance all the pretty things I normally try to post.

Chanel / Miu Miu

The seventies are back! I'm a bit torn on this one. While I don't like the style of most of the clogs from Chanel this season, this platform pump has got my attention. I think both these styles are on the verge of being quite trashy, but the right person could really rock them.

Maria Francesca Pepe.

Next up is some seriously impractical jewelry. I've already mentioned my love for weird jewelry, but this is just no good. From Maria Francesca Pepe comes one dumb ring that will never sit right on your finger and one gonna-cut-your-skin-and-make-you-bleed bracelet. Ouch.

Fendi

Fendi tapestry bags. One of those words do not belong with the two others. I honestly thought this was a joke at first, and I still hope it might be. How much can you expect somebody to pay for one of these?

Another thing that bothers me about the SS10 accessories is the vast amount of tassels and suede fringes. I feel like I'll have to give up hating these, because they're everywhere, and I just can't get their appeal.

I'd also like to mention that Louis Vuitton is currently dead to me. That is all.

Got My Addictions

Just add cash, and I'll be ready to party in three quick steps:

1. Soft leather jacket from Theory
2. Leather and chain dress from Balmain
3. Wedges from Diane von Furstenberg

Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night

Today I turn one quarter of a century old (ancient, I know...), and it's a Saturday, and it's the annual Christmas party at work.

All of this means I've got a busy Saturday full of cake, gifts, drinking and dancing. Right now I'm listening to awfully catchy pop music, doing my nails, and generally having a great time.

Kate wishes you all a great Saturday! Cheers!

Rest In Peace

So shocked by the news of Daul Kim's death right now. I really have no words, so I'll just repeat what tfr said:

"Let this be a lesson to those of us – including myself – who are shallow enough to ever catch themselves believing that they would be happy if only they were taller, thinner, better-dressed, wealthy or more beautiful."

Rest in peace. You will be missed.
