Nightingale: fashionably random

when I flipped through the fall collection of Alexander McQueen I bet the neighbours thought someone was having an orgasm in our apartment. When I look at photos I usually mumble to myself, yes, no or WTF?! I reeally loved McQueen’s fall 08 and I guess it sounded something like this: Yes,yes,oooh yes, oh my god yes,yes,yes,yesss

Mcqueen offers intricate embroidery too, and has accessorised his models with asian jewlery

I guess 15 outtakes from only one runway show is a bit over the top, but I just love his dresses….

This photo of Lily Cole reminded me of the moomin character Little My

went to the gym yesterday, first time in four months, great feeling anyhow what’s kinda good and kinda sucks at the same time is that all of a sudden heaps of hot men has started working there, or atleast that’s how it seemed to me… Anyways I hadn’t been in town for months and I felt like everyone was staring at me gee, was my skirt THAT awful, or my thighs THAT huge? am I extraordinaly pale or maybe I’m an alien?

I haven’t entirely forgiven my fave designers for dissapointing this spring, but their fall line is good enough, can’t say I found many daylooks I liked, its evening gowns they do best!

Mekko is the finnish word for dress, and this is a beautiful pink dreamy dress from Marimekko

Ok there’s no denial, fall is aproaching and I’ve started to browse the fall 2008 runway photos.

I loved the thick gold chains and the delicate embroidery from 3.1 Phillip Lim

Back from Finland! The weather sucked and I didn’t get to relax much, still I didn’t want to go home and already looking forward to next summer, there’s something serene about that place that helps me breathe from my stomack and reunite with nature or something, unless you have the stress of painting the cottage like this time. But next summer I swear I’ll just…..be…to sound kinda profound.

Leaving for Finland tomorrow morning, will be gone in two weeks. Oh yeah and today was one of the few sports events I care about, the wimbledon mens finale, last year Federer won for the fifth time in a row, this year Nadal won his first Wimbledon finale. So… about 365 days left till the next time I’ll be watching Euro Sport. They’re both really hot! (Tennis boys are normally not my type though..) Not too good looking in these photos though, but thought I’duse a photo of the ugly mug and the tea tray. oh and btw atleast Roger Federer went to a Balenciaga show once and Anna Wintour really likes him which makes every post I make about him kinda fashion related

ok, I promise this is my last Hove post, or atleast my Last Hove’08 post. So what did I learn after one week of camping? Not only did I discover new sides of my friends I also learned a great deal about myself.

• Norwegian men in their mid-twenties to late thirties can be kinda hot even though they have 17 year old daughters
• If you’re caught pouring liqour onto soda bottles on the street you get a fine
• Its possible to giggle yourself hoarse
• Don’t be so freakin judgemental, people from the westside can actually be nice!
• Random guys that stumble into the wrong tent may warm up your sleeping bag before you discover him and kick him out
• Rednecks are more willing to give you free beer
