hope you all had a great xmas. i ended up being sick for 9 days which must be a personal record, however i'm back to life now. i got some amazing gifts - a trip to paris, awesome deco stuff, some paper love and loads of chocolate. i'm also about to book a trip to st.petersburg soon so please if you have any tips (hotels, shops, restaurants, must-sees..) i'd love to hear from you.

oh and another thing i'm super excited about - my friend osma was named as one of dazed digital's top ten rising photographers for 2010. anyway, he's great and it's about time i post some of my favorites by osma.

i'm not entirely sure if any of you are interested about these me and my hair posts, but try bear with me - i'm just so overly excited of learning more than 1 way of doing it. so, here's what i came up with (accidentally as trying to curl all my hair) for the vitaminwater launch party at klaus k hotel(a GREAT party btw), pretty much the fendi twist just with curled hair on front. rest of the hair is on a bun. i used ionic hot rollers for curls.

elisa nalin on her way to valentino show in paris this october. i love her way of matching glitter with more glitter, it's done perfectly. if you haven't yet you should go see elisa's apartment photographed by todd selby, it's adorable. you can find the story here.

beautiful piece by eleanor amoroso. available at not just a label and very affordable.

i loved the hair at wunderkind and so was lucky to see models leaving with their hair untouched. yulia leontieva, irina kulikova and marike le roux after show.

a fairly fresh favorite, dannijo.
