LOVE. Ok, all of these sample sales are killing me! Stopped by the Theyskens + Theory sale the other day (you know, just to have a look) and came home with a whole bunch of stuff including this little beauty. I can’t remember ever owning a white bag (probably for a good reason since I can’t seem to keep any of my white clothes spot free for more than 10 minutes) but I have a feeling this will be one of my favorites for summer!

GOLD/WHITE. Hey guys! Hope all of you had a great weekend, I spent mine shooting for a fun project I’ve been working on for about a year now and in a couple of days I’ll finally be able to tell you all about it, so excited!

Here’s a bunch of pictures from last week that I never got around posting, love how the gold Phillip Lim clutch makes even the most simple outfit pop.

THE WEEKEND. Had an adventurous weekend running around town trying to hunt down a Kartell lamp I’ve been dreaming about for ages only to find out it was temporarily sold out in every single store I walked into (thanks for the help, universe!). In the end I managed to pre-order one that will be delivered by the end of the week and I can’t wait for it to arrive. I know, I’m probably the only person in the world who gets excited over a lamp, but it’s just so good! And speaking of awesome things, how nice is this little number from Stylestalker? Love their take on the little black dress!

BANANAS. Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with jungle prints and in particular Hinson’s Martinique print pictured above. It originated in 1942 as a wallpaper in the iconic Beverly Hills hotel and has since reached somewhat of a cult status among celebrities and interior design junkies. I dream of using it in my livingroom (love the bold statement it makes in Nate Berkus + Brian Attwood’s place above!) or to spice up a bathroom (see below), but until then these stunning Martinique inspired pillows I bought last week will do the trick!

I wore the look above during the heatwave last week and I have a feeling that this Andemiu blazer will be one of my favorite pieces for s/s 13!

SUMMER LAYERING. Never imagined I would be going barelegged mid april but the weather here in NY has been absolutely amazing these past two days! Even though it’s getting warm outside I still like to play around with layers and my trick for summer layering (besides wearing pieces made out of thin, airy fabrics) is to let my blazer or jacket hang over the shoulders, kind of like a cape. Super simple, yet chic and guaranteed to keep you from getting too hot in the summer sun!

BLACK/WHITE. Shot these pictures the other day for a fun collaboration with H&M where I got to style some of my favorite pieces from the New Icons collection. As you might have noticed, I have a soft spot for leather jackets & wide brimmed hats, so choosing my favorites really was a no-brainer.

I went for a simple, 70′s inspired look and paired the Icon pieces with a striped shirt + these insane wide legged pants (not part of the collection but too fun to pass on) and tried my best to channel my inner Lauren Hutton while strutting the streets of New York. Love how the pictures turned out and can’t wait for the collection to hit stores this week so I can snag a hat of my own!

NYC. This past weekend has been one of the most fun, yet exhausting ones in a really long time. We’ve managed to move into our new apartment here in New York, squeeze in two trips to Ikea, assemble all the furniture + unpack all of our luggage, and even though we’re still nowhere near done decorating the apartment, it’s already starting to feel like home. Every morning when I wake up and look out the window I have to pinch myself in the arm, just to make sure I’m not dreaming, but we’re actually, finally, living here and I couldn’t be happier!

NEW YORK. I know I’ve been neglecting the blog this past week, but I’ve been preparing for something super exciting that I’ve been dying to tell you guys about! Right now my entire life is packed in boxes and on Friday morning I will be on a plane to my new hometown, New York. Am I nervous? Absolutely, but challenging yourself is exactly what makes you grow as a person, and this is an opportunity I wouldn’t dream of missing out on.

This weekend me and Mattias will be moving into our new apartment which doesn’t have a single piece of furniture as we speak, but I’m praying that our bed arrives on time so we won’t have to spend our first night in NY on the floor. I hope you guys will understand if the updates on the blog are a bit sporadic during the first few days but I’m so, so excited to take you with me on this adventure!

TWINSIES. When my best friend Andy was in town over the weekend, we joked about how we always buy the same things, often without each others knowledge. So, when we realized that we had almost identical outfits packed in our suitcases, we decided to have some fun with it. After obsessively googling pictures of creepy twin girls for an hour or so, the idea of this photo shoot was born, and I have to say, it was one of the most fun shoots I’ve ever done!

THINK PINK. Last week H&M’s new store concept & Other Stories finally opened in Stockholm and even though I kind of wanted to buy everything, the only things I left with was two lipsticks. One in a fun bright shade called Ninon pink, and one in a more subtle, sheer pink for everyday use named Reticella Pink. Mixed together, they turn into this gorgeous raspberry pink shade which is excactly what I’ve been searching for!

weekend photo diary

GRAND. Me and Mattias spent the weekend at the lovely Scandic Grand Central and I seriously can’t remember the last time I felt this rested. In the beginning of April we will be moving into our new apartment and as we’ve already moved out of our old one, we’ve been living with my parents for a while. Eventhough it’s great to get to spend some time with the family, it kind of drives you slightly crazy after a while, and to get 3 days alone in a beautiful, quiet room was a dream come true. The fact that my BFF Andy who’s been in town for a couple of days stayed at the hotel during the same time only made things even better.

A couple of days ago I finally took the plunge and bought the camera of my dreams and even though it left a gigantic hole in my savings, it’s the best darn investment I’ve ever made. Since I’m ridiculously excited about my new toy, I obsessively snapped everything that came in my way over the weekend. Hence, this rather random photo diary!

GOLD FEVER. You already know about my obsession with all things shiny, and when these crackled gold bags hit the runway at the 3.1 Phillip Lim s/s 13 show, my jaw dropped to the floor. Since then they have been frequent guest stars in my daydreams where I thought they would stay, until Mattias suprised me with this little gem
for my birthday two weeks ago, absolutely love it!!

NYC. It probably doesn’t come as a surprise that one of my favorite s/s 13 trends is stripes. After searching through the jungle of over-ambitiously striped blazers that leave you with a slight feeling of vertigo, this one really caught my eye. Love the clean lines & the subtle bling of rhinestones scattered over the stripes!

Yesterday when we were shooting this amazing coat from Nanette Lepore I decided to do some jumping shots just for fun and ended up liking them so much that I decided to post them instead. Now the million dollar question is; how could it take me 7 years of blogging to discover the awesomeness of jumping photos, and how do we make it a permanent feature on the blog?!

Even though the city looks quite peaceful in these pictures I can assure you that was definitely not the case, and I’m pretty sure I was actually hoovering above the ground due to the strong winds at one point when we shot these photos. But you know what they say, no pain no gain, and I really love how the pictures turned out!

NYC. As you’ve probably noticed I’m not a big fan of heavy winter jackets so in order to stay warm during the colder months I go for lots of layers on top of uniqlo heattech tops and leggings. One of my absolute favorite pieces for layering is this leather vest I bought at H&M 2 years ago. It looks good on top of/underneath pretty much anything (in this case layered over an awesome s/s 13 Andemiu jacket) and it’s one of those pieces I always bring with me when I travel!

Eventhough I’ve been to New York countless times, one of the places I’ve never visited is the Brooklyn Bridge, so for me it was a dream come true to finally go there. Although shooting blog pictures on top of a bridge in the middle of a storm might not have been our brightest idea, it still was a magical experience watching the pastel colored sunset over the city!

Today it’s been raining non stop for the past couple of hours and I’ve been stuck inside drinking tea and editing pictures from my touristy weekend adventures with Nicole all day long. We got some pretty awesome pictures on the Brooklyn bridge that I can’t wait to show you guys, but until then, you can check out some sneak peeks on my instagram @carolinaengman.

Layered over a leather vest it actually managed to keep me warm during the colder days of fashion week which is something worth celebrating on it’s own.

Almost all of my friends left for London fashion week yesterday but I still have a good two weeks left in New York before I head back to snowy Stockholm, and I fully intend to make the most out of the snow-free streets + “warm” weather so stay tuned for lots of more outfit posts!

Me and my boyfriend are in the middle of moving and there has just been so much stuff to sort out that I had to put the blog on hold for a while. Somewhere in between all the stress and traveling I managed to catch the flu but now I’m finally starting to feel better again!

Arrived to New York for fashion week yesterday and I’m so exicted to be back in the city again! I still have lot’s of pictures left from my last trip here 2 months ago so tomorrow I’ll be posting a little photo diary + behind the scenes of the photo shoot I did and don’t forget to follow me on instagram @carolinaengman for lot’s of more NY pictures!

the leather vest

Posted on January 23, 2013 by Carolina Engman

LOVE. When this oversized leather vest hit the runway in 2011 I fell head over heels in love with it and deemed it my must-have item of f/w 11. After months of anticipation it finally hit stores and let’s just say my every hope of owning it died the second I saw the hefty price tag of nearly 2000 dollars.

Now, imagine my excitement when 2 years later I find the very same vest that used to keep me up at night at 75 % off in a corner of Acne Archives (a must visit if you’re ever in Stockholm). It didn’t take me more than 2 seconds to make my mind up and now it hangs safely in my closet, waiting for that perfect moment to shine!

I bought it during one of the colder days in NY and ended up liking it so much that I bought a vest version of it as well. They’re both super light weight, work great layered under coats & jackets and take up absolutely no space in a suitcase. In other words, perfect for traveling!

Huge thanks to Elle for a magical evening and to the lovely people at Dagmar for letting me wear this stunning dress!
