After a long break I’m back to bring you all what’s hot and what’s not this season. . . and spring has finally arrived in Copenhagen so flowers, flowers and more flowers are my biggest source of inspiration. Lovely!

I can’t wait to finish up this semester because wearing summer dresses every day is my plan, and what better way to complete the look than with a pair of fantastic wedges and the funkiest vintage sunglasses you can find! I’m going to search through my mums old ones, and hopefully I’ll find some just as cool as these from Giant Vintage. And finally, for just the right vintage look, making hairbands from zig-zag ribbons is the way to go. And of course have fun, I will!

Yes I admit it, I’m addicted to designer bags.  Alexander Wang’s Rocco Mini Duffle is my to-die-for item this month. And realizing that spring is yet to come, I’m going to cuddle up in big cardigans and put on large fuzzy hats. Next week I’m off to London and I promise I’ll come back inspired and hopefully I will have some neat findings to show off. Plan is: drink beer, watch people and shop until I drop, because it’s London January sales!!!! Wish me luck!

Continuing with our style faves for 2009. . . here’s Nora with her year end style snack perfect for ringing in 2010!

By Nora G.

I am celebrating the coming of 2010 in a place with a forecast of -20 degrees Celsius. BRR. And although I know I’m going to be freezing cold, I will not under any circumstances trade off style for comfort (and warmth!). Having decided that 2010 is the year with a capital Y,  what better way to ring it in than popping champagne and screaming Happy New Year! in this gorgeous dress from Marc Bower GlamIt!?

All I want for Christmas is…..a man with nice clothes?

Thinking guys also need a little help with what to wear for the holidays, I rummaged through unknown internet territory to see what’s hot and not for men out there. I LOVE this outfit and after my job as a cologne assistant for my friend Elisabeth’s boyfriend’s Christmas present yesterday, may I just suggest a little sprinkle of Chanel Allure for him too? I’ll guarantee holiday success if you gather up all these elements!

It seems everyone is obsessed with shoulders these days, especially shoulder pads and the different kinds of bling-bling that are used to enhance them. And I love it! Getting closer to my favourite season of the year, I picked out this dress as THE holiday dress. Soon I’ll be driving home to Grimstad for Christmas and I can’t wait. . . feeling like a kid again and really hoping that Santa will get me that awesome necklace from Anthropologie. . . love that too!

Come rain, come shine, come snow.. .

What’s making me tick this week are these awesome rain boots. Perfect for the Copenhagen streets, or any other rainy city this fall and winter for that matter! I actually bought this dress the other day, and now I think I’ve found the perfect things to accessorize it. I also decided that Norwegian traditional Selbu mittens are the accessory of the winter — they help make the best snowballs with style, so watch out!

The normal amount of sun-hours in November for Copenhagen is 56.3 hours. Up until today, the sun has shone 6.5 hours. . . and that’s for the whole month! Depressing as that fact is, luckily there are things here in life that can light up the day no matter what the skies are up to.

The beautiful necklace from Bendywho is TO DIE FOR! Put on a cool skort with those fantaboulous German strümpfhosen, and you’re good to go. May I also suggest personalizing your shoes? Just change the original lace with silk ties from your local crafts store and 1, 2, 3, there’s some extra style almost for free!

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for a quick style bite with fall resort trip in mind!
