Do you wear sneakers? I love wearing flat shoes, although it obviously looks quite better having some centimeters more with heels… but sometimes flat shoes are just a neccessity! And good sneakers can be the right casual detail. I love how these bloggers have created nice sporty-chic outfits with focus on their sneakers, they’re by Vans, Isabel Marant, Adidas… And you can even wear a sequined skirt with burgundy sneakers, and it will be definitely look good!

Last week I attended Rachel Zoe Fall/Winter collection 2012 at the Fashion Avenue. Being a big fan of hers and haven’t missed even one episode from her reality show, it was an unforgettable experience to meet her in person and cover her fashion show.
I admire her determination and hard working personality.Launching her own line of clothing and taking new directions in her career shouldn’t be easy but must be absolutely gratifying after all.
In her collection I loved the bright colors and the light materials; a lot of silk, glitter and lace which are my favorites.
What do you think about the collection?
During New York fashion week I always look out for at least one person who knows how to dress well in black. I stopped to take pictures of Tony because he fits this category perfectly. He shows that dressing in all black doesn’t have to be boring if you mix textures and I LOVE his floor length sheer cardigan that floats behind him when he walks.
Annie Lennox is one of the most interesting artists in the world, both stylewise and vocally, and is named “The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive”. She is most known for her work with Dave Stewart in the pop-duo Eurythmics, with their never ending hits and strong expression. Annie Lennox has always been a strong female icon, known as a very important influence on the gender bending trend we see growing in the fashion industry today, alongside Marlene Dietrich and David Bowie.
If you are in London somewhere between now and 26th of February, you should go and visit The House of Annie Lennox at The Victoria and Albert Museum for a taste of Annie Lennox’ iconic life:
“This exciting one-room display explores the image and creative vision of Annie Lennox, whose music and personal style is internationally renowned. On display are costumes and accessories worn by Lennox, photographs, personal treasures and awards, ephemera from the political campaigns she has championed, recorded interviews, and music videos. The House of Annie Lennox is in Room 104 and entrance is free”, from the webpage of The House of Annie Lennox displayed in The Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

I think earth tone is the best Autumn inspired colors. fortunately it was a nice weather to match a boy friend blazer in Tokyo now:) this navy bf blazer is my favorite one, I always like to match it to my sailor style. I love pastel and neutral colors recent, however red is my soul color from long long ago. yesterday I ordered a pair of red heels for Autumn, and sure you will love them too. because all of the girls want to own a pair of beautiful red heels for themselves, right?:D

This week I’m feeling like a little “Señorita” in a ruffled dress, a vintage belt, and my new jacket from Zara. Here are some of the things that I have been up to lately: I’ve bought quite a few items from this newly discovered online store – In Love With Fashion. The Missoni-print skirt is to die for. I’ve also fallen head-over-heels in lust with a Mulberry bag. Now that I’m a working girl with an office and all that fancy stuff, I’ve lost the need for those huge shoulder bags that give you a bad back… I’ve now fallen in love with The Medium Sized Shoulder Bag. Cant wait to share. Also, I’ve bought a new Mac lipstick to add to my massive collection! The one that I’m wearing in these pictures is called Morange, which I discovered while reading Ulrikke Lunds blog a few months back.
I am wearing: Zara jacket, Indiska dress, vintage belt and Nelly shoes.
I like having some dresses in my closet waiting for parties to go to. Therefore I have problems passing a dress I like without buying it – especially if it´s a bargain. This Baum & Pferdgarten dress is a bargain, and this weekend I finally got to use it when I attended a birthday party.
Dress: Baum & Pferdgarten
Belt: Gina Tricot
Headpiece: Gina Tricot
Jacket: Avelon
Boots: Topshop
Bracelets: Julie Sandlau and Linn Lømo
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is officially over and this is what happened during 8 days of intensive, fashion packed week.
We had it all: silk, feathers,leather, sequins,dots and a looots of neon.
The designers that impressed me the most were : Yigal Azrouel with his cut25 collection and Honor. Both of the designers featured many bright and daring colors in their collection and neon was a key feature especially in Yigal Azrouel’s collection.
I also attended Project Runways, Jason Troisi’s debut collection that was very avant-garde and artistic.
For menswear, I went to Marlon Gobel’s fashion show, where men were colorful more than ever, the collection was a perfect combination of modern elegance with more edgy twists.
Last but not least: Daryl K collection was vey laid back; loose fabrics, plain colors and huge aviator sunnies.
All in all I had a fantastic time and met great people.
I’ll be back to MBFW for the fall season so don’t miss out!
I am a big fan of chiffon and lace products of American Apparel.recent I got my first chiffon maxi dress， and like it so much!you know it is still 32 degrees Celsius in Tokyo now:(but the beautiful blue made me refreshing in the heat of late summer:Dit is really a cool color!
hat—DIY, dress—American Apparel, under romper—American Apparel, shoes—vintage, bag—river island
I hope I could wear autumn outfits in the next week! by the way, what color do you want to wear in fall?
love to you all, see you next time
I stopped Rita because you don’t often see women in silk trousers in the summer , it’s usually shorts a dress or denim. Rita’s looked effortlessly cool (in both senses of the word) without being over done. Her rock chick hair added just enough edge.
Rita is wearing a top by Carolina Herrera, trousers are vintage, shoes are from Opening Ceremony.
Her favourite places to shop: Vintage shops, Opening Ceremony and Barneys
Favourite recent purchase: Her Alexander Wang bag
Describe your style: Eclectic
Check back next week to see who I stop next!

I guess the most common word for fridays when referring to dresscode is “casual friday”, But since the Flingly team is busy busy busy, we have turned the week upside down, allowing ourselves to dress more casual monday to thursday, and dressing up on fridays (except for Anne, our sales manager who prefers to dress up the rest of the week as well). We call it fashionable friday. Well, anyway, some of us are better at dressing up (Lise, Ingebjørg & Anne) than others (me). I´ll probably always stick to my jeans – no matter what. Isn´t it strange how different we are? Lise feels more comfortable in a dress, I´m more within my zone of comfort wearing pants. Well, I´m glad we´re different anyway!
—————-
Det er kanskje mer normalt å kalle fredager for “casual friday” når vi snakker om kleskode, men siden vi i Flingly jobber på spreng om dagen, har vi valgt å snu trenden og har i stedet innført “fashionable friday”. Da pynter vi oss litt ekstra, noen mer enn andre… Anne, vår salgsansvalig, har valgt å fortsette som før og er feiende flott hver dag! For min del tyr jeg kanskje litt for ofte til jeans – vond vane å vende. I Flingly er det allikevel veldig gøy at vi alle har ulik stil og preferanser. Lise, for eksempel, føler seg mer komfortabel i kjoler og skjørt, mens jeg, som kanskje er mer tradisjonell (og kjedelig), trives aller best i bukser. Ingebjørg er en kløpper til å gå i høye hæler, men har etterhvert skiftet ut hælene med mer pratisk fottøy når hun sykler til jobb (hun har ødelagt for mange dyre sko på sykkeltur opp igjennom årene…)
Here´s some shots from one of our previous fashionable fridays:
Ingebjørg´s outfit:
Shirt: Zara
Pants: Zara
Shoes: Zara
Scarf: H&M
Lise´s outfit:
Skirt: Coast
T-shirt: vintage
Cardigan: HM
Stockings: HM
Shoes: Miss L Fire
Necklace: Tatty Devine
Hege´s outfit:
Jacket: Zara
Shirt: Bik Bok
Pants: Leather imitation by Bik Bok
Shoes: Tommy Hilfiger (2010 collection)
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs
What about dressing just in one colour? I like the mono-colour dressing trend, it has a great eye impact! Choosing red, for example will definitely let you stand out: with a red dress or even – a more unusual choice – wearing a red suit with trousers and blazer! But if you don’t dare the red version try out nude or pale pink, this colour looks so lovely and you can create a romantic look or give a more rockin’ attitude by adding black boots or a biker jacket for example.

So as you know, on 7th of September was the IFB conference (Independent Fashion Bloggers) and here’s what went on; beyond gift showering, picture taking, Magnum’s new caramelized ice cream tasting ( my fav), there were some great guests who shared valued business tips, personal experiences and success stories. I especially loved what Stylecaster’s Ceo, Ari Goldberg had to say, he was straight forward and shed light on how to be successful within the fashion industry; how to approach agencies and brands and most importantly, how to create and cultivate your own niche staying true to yourself.
Among the guest also were: Natalie (Natalieoffduty), Eimee (SongofStyle), Leandra (Manrepeller), Stylebubble and many others.
And of course, a long awaited moment, a cherry on top, the one and only Joe Zee, Elle’s creative director. I met him for the first time yesterday, after watching all the episodes of TheCity, and I just liked him right away from the show, his personality, his approach to people..
To sum it up, I had a great time and met amazing people.
Have a great weekend and stay tuned for an update from New York Fashion Week.

And if I should keep only one, it would be a pair of Chanel HC offered to me by the bootmaker Mr Massaro.
I hated pink when I was a young girl. However, I came to like peach pink overnight! Now it is the color which I love the most, because it always make me keep a pure heart.

love to you all lovely girls, see you next:)
I stopped Leena after seeing her cross the street in this flowing black dress. The open back and gold belt made it feel summery even though it’s dark. Her fuschia coloured flower sandals are the perfect balance and I actually wanted them!
…peace, love and eh.. yeah..these three beauties:
- A rose gold key necklace from Tiffanys to lock myself in after a night out
- Alexander Wang Anais metallic leather loafer pumps to walk in style
- A clutch to scare away dodgy dudes on my way home, from Vlieger & Vandam
Since some of these are more expensive and less cheap, it is a good thing there are a few months till Christmas.
Today was one of those “Beg Borrow Steal” days wherein I hated what I was wearing so much that the moment I got to my best friends house I flung open her closet and borrowed this dress from French Connection and her vintage sunglasses. The funny thing about this outfit is that people kept commenting on how I didn’t look like “myself” that day. I didn’t know that I had such a defined style. We spent the day walking languorously around Oslo, stopping at cafes every time the autumn rain got to heavy. There we doodled on napkins and warmed ourselves with strange coffees. Has anyone tried the “Mint Mocha” at Waynes Coffee? Ugh. I cant decide whether I like it or hate it.
It is really starting to feel like Autumn. I don’t really know how I feel about that… Since I barely feel like I have had any summer. Crossing my fingers for a wonderful late Indian Summer.
I am wearing a dress by FCUK, vintage sunglasses & necklace, bag from Karen Millen, and ballet slippers from Zara.
It has been only a week and I’m back again to share with you several new & exciting updates from the fashion world and my personal projects.
I’m happy to announce that in the following weeks I will be covering the MBFW 2012 (Mercedes Benz Fashion Week)!
Here are a couple of my favorite designers whose shows I’ve been invited to:
- Rolando Santana – One of my favorite uprising designers. Rolando’s stunning black leather dresses just swift me of my feet!
- Marlon Gobel – Known for his daring and glamorous menswear and for his collaboration with the king of “shoe makers”, Christian Louboutin.
And there’s still a long list of fashion shows that I’ll share with you soon.
As you can imagine, another great aspect of attending fashion shows is to express your own unique personality and style. I’m only a week away from the first show and I still haven’t decided on the outfits I will wear.
Surprisingly, I know exactly which shoes and accessories I want to wear but I’m still in search of unique clothing. This weekend I’ll have enough time to check all my favorite fashion spots in Manhattan and do some shopping! : )
Here are some pictures of the shoes and accessories that I’m considering to wear.
Before leaving you for another week, I’m very curious to know your opinion and suggestions. What would be your perfect outfit and accessories for the New York fashion shows?
- Can’t wait to read your comments!
Have a great week end and don’t miss the next post, where I’ll share my visit to the Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) conference on September 7th featuring many interesting bloggers and a special appearance by Joe Zee, Creative director at Elle.
For my first post on Flingly I chose a cool boho accessory: round sunglasses! I guess the first person that comes into our minds thinking about them is John Lennon. On some of his most well known photos he is wearing round lenses, besides the fact that he usually wore also round glasses – but for them he now has a young celebrity competitor: Harry Potter! Anyway round sunglasses usually fit everybody and give definitely a funny touch to your oufits. Here is how some nice bloggers styled different pair of them, with small and big lens. These sunglasses look good with printed dresses, velvet jumpsuits, but are also great with a basic shirt & blazer. And of course with Doc’s Martens, that looks really Bohémien!

It has been raining for a long time in Tokyo, but the beautiful sunshine came out this week! Color block always make me feel warm and happy. I think it is the best combination in a sunny day:)
hat—DIY blouse—vintage skirt pants—page boy shoes—vintage bag—www.romwe.com
tips in this outffits: salmon pink, turquoise blue and red are the best color combination, you could add a little yellow or gold accessories for it:)
I hope you don’t mind my poor English, just enjoy!
see you the next time, all of you lovely:D
Been crazy about fashion and art my whole life. Linguistics expert and photographer for several years. And a blogger for a couple of years now.
I’ve recently moved to NY (My 6 country!) and after a month of settling down in our sweet down-town apartment, I am now focused than ever building my career.
And as you’ll read in my column, there’s no better place for fresh beginnings and new connections than here in the glamorous Big Apple, NY!
Those who know me from TheBrunetteWorld.com, probably noticed that I’m fanatic over everything fashion related; from fashion shows and editorials to photography and fashion writing.
Here in New York, I spend most my time writing, photographing and documenting fashion, design and lifestyle. While touring the shops, shows and meetups from big to small, looking for new connections, bargains and opportunities.
Things are moving with a crazy pace in New York, it’s the most vibrant and energizing city that i’ve ever lived in, among Belgium, Russia, Ukraine, Israel and more.
In this huge concrete jungle you get used to walking fast, talking fast.. sleeping less. It’s all so condensed, and yet at the same time, exhilarating and fun, you don’t even feel the week’s gone by!
This dazzling city is packed with exciting fashion events, and I’m enjoying every aspect of it. From events of promising new & talented designers showcasing their exclusive creations, to blogger meetups and fashion night outs. It’s easy to get by, it’s all so accessible and there are so many!
My next event will be the IFB conference (http://heartifb.com/) in September. This will be my first time attending the IFB conference and I’m really looking forward to meeting some of my favorite bloggers and hearing about their success stories and learn from people’s experience making fashion and blogging their life.
September is going to be packed with events, from the New York Fashion Week to the Fashion Night Out and other events, my schedule has never been so tight and I just can’t complain about how much fun i’m making out of it.
My next challenge is to get access to some of the more high-end fashion shows and cover them from lens, I’ve contacted a number of established PR agencies representing famous brands and designers and other fashion organizations, letting them know about my ambitions, ideas and exciting projects.
I’m glad to have joined such a wonderful team on Flingly and i’m looking forward to get to know you, the readers.
Stay tuned as I’ll share my exciting New York adventures.
Love
Tea

Name: Shan Shan
Blog: Tinytoadstool
Lives: Osaka (Tokyo), Japan
Why Shan?
When we discovered Shan´s blog Tinytoadstool, we just simply fell in love. What an amazing style, gorgeous pictures, fantastic colors and interesting combinations! Its almost like each picture tells a story, and seeing her outfits just completes a whole book. I am sure the most of us should learn how to use colors like Shan, and make other people happy with our outifts, just the way Shan does to us.
———-
Da vi oppdaget bloggen til Shan, Tinytoadstool, ble vi helt forelsket. Shan har en fantastisk stil, en litt annerledes stil enn det vi er vant med her i Norge.

Twitter
Lives: Paris, France

Name: Erica Baldi
Blog: Blue is in fashion this year
Lives: Milan, Italy
Why Erica?
We first discovered Erica and her blog, Blue is in fashion this year, when she started following Flingly on Twitter. Browsing her blog soon became an addiction. Erica is searching fashion blogs for the best streetstyle & outfits, and then putting it together as making specific style inspiration. E.g. Grunge style, white shirts, bold colors, stripes, fringe boots etc. She clearly has an eye for finding the best style inspiration out there.
———-
Vi oppdaget Erica og bloggen hennes, Blue is in fashion this year, da hun startet å følge oss på Twitter. Å lese og se på bloggen hennes er rett og slett vanedannende. Erica leter moteblogger etter gatemote bilder og samler disse i en kollasje av inspirasjon innenfor et spesielt tema, f.eks: Hvite skjorter, striper, sterke farger, grunge stil osv. Hun har åpenbart et godt øye for å finne den beste stil- og antrekksinspirasjonen blant alle moteblogger.
Name: Tea Joeli
Blog: The Brunette World
Lives: New York, USA
Why Tea?
Tea just recently moved to New York to start a search for her future career.

She has finally narrowed it down to writing about fashion, and Flingly is so excited to follow Tea in her search for the career of her dreams.
———-

Hun har allikevel bestemt at hun primært ønsker å skrive om mote, og vi i Flingly gleder oss til å følge Tea i jakten på hennes drømmekarriere innen motebransjen.

This is my last post for Flingly for now as the Flingly site soon will be launched.
Ever since I joined as fashion editor in December 2010 I’ve had so much fun doing daily posts here from London. It has been challenging from time to time but also a great learning process and I hope you all enjoyed my work and articles, who knows, maybe I’ll pop up here in the future again.
As for now, if you want to join me further, you’ll find me on my own blog, Northern Light, for daily updates.
It’s been a joy, see you around!
In Norwegian
Dette er min siste post for Flingly for denne gang ettersom lanseringen av Flingly siten er like rundt hjørnet.
Helt siden jeg joinet Flingly som fashion editor i desember 2010 har jeg daglig hatt daglig oppdateringer fra London. Det har til tider vært vært veldig utfordrende, men også utrolig lærerikt, og jeg håper dere har satt pris på mine artikler. Hvem vet, kanskje dere ser meg igjen på denne siden i fremtiden.
Om dere vil følge meg videre nå, hvilket jeg håper, finner dere meg på min egen blogg, Northern Light, for daglige oppdateringer.
It’s been a joy, see you around!
“The Midriff” trend is back and I spotted this girl in Covent Garden this weekend who I think pulled it off. Flashing tummies might scare you but you don’t need to be super skinny to get away with it and it can actually be quite flattering if worn with high waisted trousers or a skirt and enhancing the waist’s thinnest point.
Do you dare?
I don’t know anything about this girl and what she’s wearing but I recognized the pants immediately, they’re from Zara.
In Norwegian
Bar-mage-trenden er tilbake igjen og jeg fikk øye på denne jenta I Covent Garden i helgen som jeg syns mestret trenden bra. Å vise bar mage kan kanskje virke skremmende, men du behøver ikke være syltynn for å kunne komme unna med det. Et stykke bar hud over høye bukse linninger eller skjørt kan faktisk være ganske flatterende og fremhever midjens tynneste parti.
Tør du?
Jeg vet desverre ingenting om denne jenta og hva hun har på seg, men buksene kjenner jeg igjen, de er i fra Zara’s sommer kolleksjon.

- Yves Saint Laurent Arty Ring

One of my best buys recently is the leather gilet above from H&M’s mens department. In fact I sometimes find more things there I like than in the women’s, like when I look for loose and oversized jumpers and knits, that’s where I head first.
Anyway, here are some of my outfits this week, bare legs every day, trying to soak up the summer as much as possible before it’s gone.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
Shorts Acne, jumper Cos, watch Michael Kors, Ray Ban’s, bag and sandals Celine.

Since Christian Louboutin filed a lawsuit against YSL back in April we’ve been keeping an eye on this case.
You may also read Red sole Lawsuit
Whether or not you’re particularly interested in either of the parties involved or think the whole red-sole-lawsuit is a step going to far, the outcome of this case will perhaps be a landmark for future trademarking for designers and creative souls. And the question that has arised is, can one designer claim the right and usage of one color.
You may also read Different Shades Of Reds
In NY courts yesterday, the federal judge, Victor Marrero, denied Christian Louboutin’s request for a preliminary injunction that would prevent YSL from selling the red-soled shoes from its 2011 resort collection.
He wrote in his ruling:
Because in the fashion industry color serves ornamental and aesthetic functions vital to robust competition, the court finds that Louboutin is unlikely to be able to prove that its red outsole brand is entitled to trademark protection, even if it has gained enough public recognition in the market to have acquired secondary meaning.
While Judge Marrero has ruled the sale of YSL’s shoes can go ahead in the short term, he has asked for more time to consider a verdict, ordering both parties back to court next week.

Enten du har fulgt denne saken eller kanskje du finner den helt uinteressant og syns at et søksmål mot bruk av rød sko såle er litt drøyt, kan utfallet i denne saken kanskje bli et påle for fremtidige rettigheter og trademarking for designere og kreatve sjeler. Og som det ser ut til i denne saken, er det rettigheten til en farge som diskuteres.

I en rettsal i NY i går avslo dommeren, Victor Marrero, Christian Louboutin’s forespørsel om en midlertidig anmodning for å hindre YSL’s salg av rød sålede sko som inngikk i YSL’s resort kolleksjon.
Han sa i kjennelsen:
Fordi i moteverden fungerer farger som dekorative og estetiske funksjoner i konkurranse markedet, retten mener at det er usannsynlig at Louboutin vil klare å bevise at den røde sko sålen er berettiget til trademark beskyttelse, selv om det har oppnådd nok offentlig anerkjennelse på markedet er dette av sekundær betydelse.
Første runde er over og kanskje har første seier gått til YSL, dommeren tillater YSL’s salg av røde sko såler inntil videre, men har bedt om mer tid for å vurdere dommen, og har bedt begge partene om oppmøte neste uke.
