Kate Foley







She is the buyer of the wonder store Opening Ceremony and she loves white dresses. Such an Adorable Imperfect Perfection she is. I'd die for that Charles Anastase dress with shoes she wears in image 5!

Kate Foley is my Style Icon of Today.

Diary 183: My Weekend







It's been a very cold weekend. Friday I ended staying out for way long thanks to a Jeff:)! Exactly what I needed, to be out and have fun. Yesterday was a day full of planning at Franklins and finding inspirations. Still white white white.

Just found out my other grand mother died yesterday, Sadness. Both of my grandmother's are now gone and it all happened this October and all I can think of is that I want my grandfather back...!!? I am tired of this game.

Top to bottom: 1 This morning:) See the little thing having breakfast? 2&3 Yesterday's outfit which I call Saturday normal. Ida Sjostedt faux fur jacket, Cynthia Steffe top, H&M sunnies and Zara skirt. 4 That car...!!! Beautiful. The man driving did not flinch about the fact that I was out in the middle of the street taking photos. He must be used to it or something. Cool. 5 Me at Franklins planning away. I Love Rod. 6 Lovely Lovely Lee of East Dulwich Tavern and it's from my night out on Friday. 7 Inspirations.

OBSESSION NOW: How I Feel at the Moment:

"Tror du att vi kommer leva lyckliga i alla våra dar'?
Även om vi aldrig mer ses.


Händerna upp i luften.
Pannan mot baren, nu spränger vi taket.
Hamnar i himlen, där änglarna gråter.
Stan är vaken, allt är förlåtet älskling!
Händerna upp i luften.
Vi ska bli fulla, livet är meningslöst.
Vem bryr sig?
Natten är vacker, du är som natten.
Och jag är en vinnare igen." -J.BERG

Jay Ahr

I went to see Jay Ahr's Resort and Spring 2013 Collections yesterday in Marylebone. I too went to see an old friend of mine, Coline (the head of pr for the designer), whom I have not seen for years. We got to know each other while she was at the office of Louis Vuitton and I was at The New York Times Magazine's Style department in New York. Coline is the beautiful smiling girl in image 1.

Jay Ahr was a new talent for me but fact is that he has been designing for 6 years. Fell in love! Particularly in the 3 dresses shown here:) Fly in to my closet maybe?

The location of the presentation was hauntingly breathtaking. The Diana painting, carpets, wooden floor & furniture........ohlalala!

Coline is wearing Jay Ahr Fall 2012 pieces.
