My Diesel x Grazia shoot

So here it is! My shoot I did with Diesel for Grazia, that's out in this weeks issue. It was such a great experience working with the whole team, I truly enjoyed the day as I was given free hands on the styling and overall look.

What do you guys think? my favorite photo is the first one, funny enough that is was a test shot and first photo of the day. Luck....? No, good teamwork.

Thanks goes to the whole Diesel and Grazia team, it was a pleasure working with you all!

She Moves in Her Own Way

(Zara Stripe Turtleneck, Anarchy Street Pleated Skirt, H&M Socks, gifted Steve Madden Dynamite Heels in Taupe)

Here is my second outfit (first outfit and heels here) for an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party for Steve Madden's newest campaign, "Steve Brings It!"

What would my party be without great music? I'm usually the one starting the dance floor (whether there really is one or not) at any party so a pair of comfortable yet stunning heels like these are a must.

Here are my top music picks for my tea party:

1. The Kooks - She Moves in Her Own Way

2. Ingrid Michaelson - Girls and Boys

3. Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me.

4. Colbie Caillat - Favorite Song

5. Kate Nash - Navy Taxi

6. Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time

7. Tristan Prettyman - All I want is You

The Right Amount of Black and Gold

Swarovski Wish List by songofstyle featuring swarovski jewelry

(Karen Walker Sunglasses, Espirit Cardigan, Vintage Denim Shirt & Belt, Gap Jeans, Givenchy Bag, Isabel Marant Gava Pumps, gifted Swarovski Octea Sport Watch)

I'm so happy to add this pretty black and rose gold Swarovski watch to my slowly, but surely growing gold collection. The shape of the watch is sporty yet the way the watch is cut and the way rose gold trims accessorize the watch make it more... me.

I've picked out some of my favorites from Swarovski's newest watch collection, and if you haven't heard already, there is a fun contest going on Polyvore, where you have a chance to win a Swarovski watch of your choice. All you have to do is create a set with it.

The brand new Diesel

With a brand new design team lead by Finnish Heikki Salonen, Diesel is doing an amazing job revamping not just the designs but whole image. I took part in a little challenge to style my favorite Diesel looks, see the outcome in a whopping three page spread in tomorrows Grazia magazine!

The attraction of the ugliness

acne shoes

A bit of a continuation from yesterdays post.. although I'm in total basics, reeeeally excited about the shoes. They simply are the solution to wearing a manly brogue without wearing flats. I've only seen acne and simone rocha do it right. When these first came out I said it's one of the ugliest shoes I've seen in a long time. I guess there is always the attraction in the things you can not get or the ones you publicly state that you hate. Me and my fugly shoes are now very happy together.

Theres a Wall of Red Bricks in Every Alley

(Mom's Short Trench Coat, C. Wonder Cardigan, StyleMint T, Vintage Belt, Vintage Levi's, Alexander Wang Carolina Heels, Givenchy Antigona Bag)

Like their other T's (worn here and here), this pink StyleMint T is the softest thing ever, so much so that I've actually worn them to bed a few times instead of my trusty silk PJ's.

StyleMint is also offering 10% off your first StyleMint item until December 15. Just use the code SONGSM.

P.S. I wear a size 2 in StyleMint.

Spring at Kurt Geiger

During the week I skipped class to see the new spring collection by Kurt Geiger. Since the launch of their accessory line, I've been quite mesmerized by their designs..

The new collection was beautifully bright and surprisingly ladylike. The mix of sorbet hues and retro prints made me crave beach weather, sun and candy.. seeing the brand new sunglass collection and knowing a bikini will also be part of the collection did not make it any easier for me. But overall the visit did make me smile, I kinda know what I want to look like next spring. I was especially taken by the neon mary janes, baby blue shades and caged cut-out booties, but knowing me this list will still change many times. Luckily there is still time.
