by Emma Dibaja on October 14, 2011

First of all let me start by saying that some of you might have a noticed a certain silence on my part in the past month or so. Let me clarify what I’ve been up to…

by Emma Dibaja on September 1, 2011

It’s September. We could say that summer is officially coming to an end. I spent the month of August in search of cool new styles, wandering around the streets of Europe. And boy did I see a lot…

Fashion Revival: Peter Pan Collar

July 29, 2011

I’m not usually one for mass-trends, but there are always some specific, fun things which I like. Not because they are in fashion, but more because I just like them irrespective of trends and time. But having said that, I do like to keep myself up-to-date on what’s happening on the fashion scene. And my [...]

(Slowly) Get Ready For Autumn…

July 25, 2011

One of my favourite looks for the soon-to-come Autumn 2011 is one, which I like to call the “Mary Poppins look”. I love the effortless style that you can create with just a few simple pieces: A long skirt, cute jacket, heels and the cherry on top, a Fedora hat. And yes, I know, I [...]

How to Mix & Match?

July 24, 2011

When you are creating an outfit out of several different prints and patterns, there’s a fine line between ‘just right ‘and ‘too much’. It’s a funny thing, but I really do think that having an eye for style and what looks good is just something that you’re born with. It’s always the same thing. Think [...]

Brook&Lyn | Surrounded Day & Night

July 18, 2011

Mimi Jung, a fashion blogger turned jewelry designer, has in the past years become a big name among the creme de la creme of fashion blogging as well as fashion design. I think her style and the jewelry Mimi Jung creates is one of the coolest and freshest I’ve seen in ages. This just goes [...]

Survival of the Shortest

July 10, 2011

I feel compelled to continue to express my dismay at the amount of shorts I’m seeing this summer. And not just any kind of shorts, but the shortest shorts possible. It almost feels like last year’s shorts-look went on steroids this year. 1

Thoughts on Fashion: Colour Trends

July 8, 2011

Just today as I was walking in the city in search of some style inspiration, I started to think, what is fashion really about and how are we supposed to utilise it continuously. I mean, we are bombarded with new trends every month, if not every week. So is the idea that we’re supposed to [...]

MONKI: Ethically Correct Style From Sweden

June 13, 2011

“North East from the Rosehip Stream, in the dazzling City of Iron and Oil the Monki breeds from the old chemicals, forgotten in the ruins on the old weaving factories. The sail from the chimneys, through the knitted clouds over the wavy sea to graze shells and become wise.” — Monki. 1

How To Be a Modern Day Hippie

May 26, 2011

I’m really feeling the hippie look of this Spring/Summer. So knowing myself and my eternal desire to educate myself, I started to read up on the whole hippie culture. Interesting… But what remains evident is that even if today it tends to be much about the fashion, it definitely wasn’t only about that in the [...]

Be True To Yourself: Dress For Your Mood

May 19, 2011

How are you feeling today? Happy? Sad? Mysterious? No matter what your mood, your outfit can reflect it. 1

The Season of Flowers and Romance…

May 18, 2011

I know it’s Spring, and considering the season, I know flowers aren’t exactly ground-breaking, but I really can’t get enough of them. 1

Why Do We Wear Heels?

May 8, 2011

I’ve recently been thinking about heels. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always liked them and found them almost like a piece of art, but I’ve recently come to value flat shoes more and started to wonder, why do we wear heels in the first place? 1
