3 x monochrome

by Teresa 27. December 2011 17:49

This months monochrome inspiration comes from Christine Centenera (stockholmstreetstyle.com)...



Cartier L.O.V.E cravings (afterdrk.freshnet.se)...



and the minimalistic decor at my new favourite spot-du-jour, the Jetty Lounge. (Photo my own).

Bjørg

A RIDICULOUSLY well styled jewellery lookbook by Bjørg Jewellery. The images are so inspiring that I am contemplating turning them into wall art by printing them onto canvas. Check out the rest of their lookbook HERE.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

So here comes one of those sharing posts. I know many bloggers policy is not to reveal too much of their personal life, but for the last 3 years I have shared everything with you Lovelies and so far (knock on wood) it has been nothing else but positive so I shall continue being personal here on Candy&Cookie until I feel forced to stop.

Today I wanted to spend the day wakeboarding with my friends, followed by a night of whisky and table top dancing at Zuma, hoping that I will run into THAT Special Boy that currently has set camp in my head. Running into him is one of my favourite ways of passing time at the moment - but that deserves a blog post on it's own haha as that's more of an essay! Besides I might want to keep that one to myself just for a lill' longer... 

Anyhow anywho - as I am writing this I am counting days to a rather scary surgery, battling my fear of needles watching reruns of Friends in my jammies as that's pretty much that my drugged and sore state will allow me to do. Rather sucky if you ask me!

Having said that I wouldn't be worthy of my Zen Cookie nickname if I didn't see the light at the end of this emotional tunnel so I am really trying hard to stay positive. Turns out it's easier than I thought! 

Things that help: Wakeboarding videos. Carbs. Having all the time in the world to read all the amazing and inspiring blogs out there. Friends - the real deal and the comedy show. Sitting in my nicest jammies and not saving it for a ''special'' occasion. Good music like old school jazz spinning on my iTunes. More carbs haha. Etc etc. Over and out for now, send me happy thoughts. xxx T

Fairy kisses and star studded skies.

Today I am lusting over Lisa's Cambridge satchel and wondering if mine is ever going to arrive??



Wearing my Jimmy Choo for H&M boots for the first time after having had them for almost 2 years (!)...



and thinking that I could easily spend all my time outdoors. Daytime nighttime, Dubai is beyond lovely at this time of the year.

Las siete Potencias

1. I wish I had styled that editorial.

2. I want to look and dress like that girl. // Over and out. 

ASH

by Teresa 16. November 2011 12:47

Ever heard of Ash - the ubercool UK brand that does studded boots like no others? 

You might think that the boots look a bit harsh and robust. I get ya! But have look at this:



This blogger (any idea who she is??) styled them to perfection and balanced out the attitude with softness.

Me thinks I want to click home a pair of those silver studded booties asap - with Dubai winter being around the corner I would rock them in a similar manner - with lace and oversized knits en masse!

Still singing about Aimee

by Teresa 16. November 2011 08:21

I have written about Aimee before but I simply have to mention her and her blog Song of Style again. It's my current obsession-du-jour! 

Behind the scenes at my shoot for Harpers Bazaar ME.

by Teresa 16. October 2011 20:06

Now that the October issue of Harpers Bazaar is out in stores I can finally share the behind the scenes with everyone.

The feature styled by Kate Hazell was an ubercool journey in fashion throught the last 50 years and Yours Truly with her love for leather, Converse and rock'n'roll got me to represent the 1990's.



Messy hair gets even messier...



Yupp - we likey. For once a styling that feels like me!



We've got killer Alaia boots, a walkman and some trash cans. What do I do now???



K we've got the posing covered.



I have to say that I felt sooo much more confident in front of the camera compared to the first feature I did for Harpers at the very beginning of this blog 2 years ago...



With Kate - the stylist extraordinnaire!



And the final result!

it's true I cravee you, tra lalalala

by Teresa 21. September 2011 23:53

Two images stolen from The Sartorialist in a span of two days - naughty naughty.

What triggered me to post it though is the image of the Cambridge satchel - I have been waiting for mine for a month now but according to the complaints on the site the standard delivery time for those is 3 months or so. CRIKEY! They'll be so out by the time I lay my hands on mine...

Nevermind, trendy or not I'll be flaunting it all over town. Trends come and go, style is eternal. Word!



Mannish blazer, worn out sneakers, and what looks like a Marant-esque skirt. CHECK!

Cover story

Supre stoked about the fact that POSE Magazine chose one of the images from my latest editorial for their first fashion cover!
