lavin+h&m.....nice one

launch the 23rd of november in 200 stores (in denmark). I like the brand a lot, and own a top from the summercollection 2007..sweet! so maybe I will show up, and get in line, among all the other lavinlovers...see ya<3

I want it now! Mulberry Bayswater

hmmm wondering

Something out there, just made me think about fashion/clothes in another way...it's just clothes...sad way to put it I think, but true....hmm

And then I thought again...no, they are NOT just clothes, they the way we express how we feel. The way i feel inside, decides what I wear...

But some people don't think about what they wear...or maybe they just claim to. But really they think about looking like they don't care.. e.g. Andy from the movie Devil Wears Prada, see?

Sometimes the fashion industry can seem very superficial, but I believe that it depends on how you put it. 

Most people think that the inside is what counts the most, as the saying says. But I believe I show a great deal of myself through how I dress...In my case, i'm in a period in my life, where I have a great personal development...again it shines through my clothes, I can't make up my mind in which style I should go for (grrr annoying)...

This whole thing might sound ridiculous to you, if your not into this thing, but it means a lot to me.. ;)

miu on my mind

I wonder why i'm writing a post at 00.30.well, never mind.
The last few days i have been spending my evenings on sketching clothes.
Btw, I also 'made' a dress which would go perfect to these (very mouthwatering) miu miu shoes!
These are not the ones, but similar and beautiful too. The real ones are right here (photo no 4).

To make this oh-so-very long story a bit shorter, I want to become a fashion designer one day. 
I can't sew, which is not so good. sooo i'm now signed up for a course at FASHION DESIGN AKADEMIET in Copenhagen, which in august (hopefully) will teach me how to sew and design.
You can sign up for all kinds of fashion design related courses here.

GEORGIA MAY JAGGER for Chanel.
The Brigitte Bardot inspired, rock star daughter, is posing for the CHANEL CRUISE COLLECTION 2010/11 lookbook. More pictures click here.
Btw she was also the campaign model for Versace ss10, if you didn't know.

A HUGE problem...not

Which clothes should I go for, when I somehow just know, that it’s going to be wrapped in dirt before the day is over? The answer is not as simple as it seems, as I want both to think in an economic -, and in a fashionable perspective. Should I be 'neutral' and choose cut Levi’s , an oversize shirt and dr. Martens or Hunters, it would be practical and cheap but a bit boring also, I think. Should I instead be searching for something a bit more original?

Is it also bothering you? Are you also in doubt about what to wear, at whatever festival you’re may be going to this summer? – Don’t worry, you’re not alone out there, trust me I know the feeling! This year I’m going to Roskilde Festival, and it seems like everyone is going for grunge. I want it to be practical and laid id back. Maybe something in army style or something hobo-chic, hmmm. Still working on my ideas. Anyway, let you know my conclusions someday soon…

If you are reading this blog, stop now, it´s full of shit. We have no experience and no taste. We are only two young teenage girls from Iceland and Denmark hoping that one day we will be part of a world that we dream of every night. The Fashion Industry. And we are not the only ones who do so. Millions our age would do anything to have those 15 minutes of fame in that world which feels so far away. Some are born with a natural talent and others have taught themselves, but what they have in common is their passion for fashion.

My father once asked me why fashion meant so much to me. I must say, it is a very hard question to answer. But I do remember that knot in my stomach of excitement when I bought my first designer item at the age of 13. The fact that I owned an item of clothing designed by someone so talented and sewn so carefully by hand, that just gave me a rush of excitement. So I know that I am very passionate about fashion, so passionate I cant find the words. 


Marie and I gave our blog the name, The Open Closet. For one, we have very open personalities and we would like to share with the world our interests in fashion and even our closet. 


You may be confused by the beginning of this post, but I hope it kept you reading and wondering what would happen next. And that is exactly what Marie and I plan to do, keep our readers curious and happy.
