L.A.M.B. Spring 2009 at NYFW?

New York Fashion Week starts in less than two weeks, Gwen gave birth to Zuma only a weeks ago. So I guess there will be no LAMB fashion show this year.
In 2007 Kingston was 4 months old and taking part in the spring 2007 show at NYFW.
This time we have to wait to see the goodies. Family comes first. :)

Trend alert

Remember MC Hammers pants from the 1990s? Who can forget such a trend... And now the harem pants are back on the runway! I have actually seen a couple of them live already. Both pants and capris.
First we have suffered through the skinny jeans trend, followed by the high-waist. And now the harem pants? Undeniable comfy but nice? Would you wear it? Is it ugly-but-kind-of-cool or just plain ugly? I personally can't say for sure. Never say never, I might end up wearing one....

Sneakers

Did a little cleaning in the closet and noticed that my sneaker collection has grown a bit lately. Time for a review.


Adidas jogging trainers. The best trainers ever. Have worn them every day for months and they have began to makes queaky sounds so I guess it's time to get a new pair.
LAMB gold sneakers. Should have bought the white ones....
Retro Adidas with pink and beige stripes. Bought this winter and almost forgotten. Cool.
Nike Shox. Bought at midnight at Time Square after a long day of intense walking. Too wide for my feet. I have learned that Nike shoes in general are too wide for me. Must remember to never buy Nike again (shoes that is).
Cheap Blend shoes. Rather ugly but have been worn a couple of times in lack of something better.
Adidas racing shoes. Really comfy and fits like a glove.
Adidas superstar grafitti grey. A bit too big but worn a lot with a sole inside.
Adidas superstar original black and white. Inheritied today from my nephew who didn't think they were cool enough for him to wear at school. :)

There's something funny about the Adidas sizing. They don't carry my size as a whole number so the options are either the lower size plus 2/3 or my size plus 1/3. Both can work, it depends on the width of the shoe. The racing shoes are the lower size plus 2/3. Perfect fit. But then again, maybe leather stretches. The superstars are my size plus 1/3. A tiny bit on the bigger side but works well with soles.

On to the sandals.... :)

Autumn boots

I guess it's time to face the fact that autumn is just around the corner. I think the winter is much too long here in Norway. Anyway, one of the good things about the new cold season is the need for change of wardrobe.
One of my favourite winter items is boots. I'm not sure how hot the biker boots are this season but this pair from Miu Miu looks great. A classic look with a cool twist. Hot stuff.

Beijing Olympics

I was watching parts of the opening ceremony today and boy were there some hideous outfits! Did you see Kazakhstan? If there was a bad taste award they would win it for sure. The Norwegian athletes wore white and grey outfits from Ricco Vero. Simple but nice.
The show was very nice, I'm very interested in Chinese history so I really enjoyed it.
