// EBAY IN STOCKHOLM //

I was invited out to Stockholm for eBay’s autumn/winter advertising shoot. Yeah, I was surprised at first too… eBay do advertising shoots? From the pages of Vogue to the walls of the underground – I remember seeing the images from last year everywhere. I wasn’t really sure what they were all about though. Turns out there’s a little outlet tucked within the pages of eBay that offers new products from high street brands at up to 70% off – this is the direction that eBay are moving. Don’t worry, they wont be getting rid of 99p vintage bargains anytime soon. It’s just an addition to what they have already become known and loved for. Sara Dunn did the most incredible job at styling the shoot. Why do I always think I need to buy brand new pieces from designer shops to create great outfits? She used last season’s pieces and still managed to create inspiring looks. Besides just playing with all the accessories, I also presented a behind the scenes video that will be available to view later this month…

Massive thank you to Rachel for inviting me out and Daniel for being the ultimate chef.

THE VIEW FROM STOCKHOLM...

Sweden is unbelievably quiet and relaxed.

I spent the weekend in Stockholm at the Rival Hotel and it was absolutely gorgeous. It's located just next to a park and has a delicious cafe and flower shop outside. I spent most of the time eating candy and wandering into shops. Not a bad way to spend a holiday.

Wearing: Paul & Joe Sister jacket, Weekday shirt/trousers and Converse.

gladitorial confusion...

I picked up these Cut Out Shoes from Weekday while in Stockholm. I think I like them but something makes feels a bit unsure... Hmm? What's that you say? Why did I buy them then? Well, I do like the whole lace up black sandal look (seen at both Asos and Acne) and I do think they are pretty cool. It seemed everyone in Sweden was wearing a variation of these sandals and, what can I say, sometimes I'm a total sucker for a trend. Plus, they were 50% off. But whatever the reason for buying them, they are mine now and surely I should give them a chance. Maybe they just need to be worn in a little bit.

tallboys, hotdogs & stockholm...

Stockholm is a magical city. It's like a toy town that is filled with beautiful stylish people and insanely covetable shops. I spent the day there yesterday with Jackie and Daniella. We patrolled all the shops, tried on so many shoes, and pretty much melted to butter in Acne (more on that insanity later). It was a perfect day and was followed up by hot dogs, beer, 'Just Dance', and skinny dipping at 3am. Holiday bliss? I think so.

p.s. the wooden wedge shoes that so many of you have been asking about are by Minimarket.
