Things I Want Right Now

With spring arriving in not too long - I hope - it's about time I did my Things I Want Right Now posts, with clothes from the Spring 2013 Ready-To-Wear collections! As usual when looking through these collections I both drooled a bit, and puked a bit. What made me puke we'll be looking at tomorrow, but right now, let's take a look at a few things that made me drool!

Alberta Ferretti

Love how this top is like wearing mist, while the lace covers the "critical spots"!

Alberta Ferretti

More misty fabric from Alberta Ferretti!

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen

Two very cool creations from Alexander McQueen! I'd even wear that hat if I travelled to the south of Europe!

Alice + Olivia

I really need more simple day dresses in my closet. The one above would be perfect fpr pretty much doing anything!

Aquilano.Rimondi

Love this fabric!

BCBG Max Azria

As I like to put opposites together, the mix of lace and leather in this dress caught my eye. Lovely!

Blumarine

Soft, black, transparency mixed with silver sparkles. I say yes to that!

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta

Another perfect day dress - the red one - and another one for a summer party, from Bottega Veneta.

Burberry Prorsum

Burberry Prorsum

Spring in Sweden is chilly, so a nice coat is a must! Want both of these please!

Christian Siriano

I don't think I have to explain this one...

Dennis Basso

Dennis Basso

These two dresses make me long for a red carpet...If you look close at the second one you can see that it is covered in fringes!!!

Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana always manages to create things that really stand out, but still are stylish and elegant.  With the three outfits above, I'd be ready for a weekend in Italy!...

Elie Saab

...But maybe I should bring this Elie Saab dress too...Just for safety's sake...

Giulietta

Yet one more day dress, that would get well used if it hung in my closet.

Jason Wu

I still don't own a play-suit, or a "romper" as they are also called. Like that word - "romper"...

Jill Stuart

And we end with the perfect dress for a warm summer night party, complete with fire flies, silver fountains, and white bunnies jumping around in the grass!...And a unicorn...

The second part of my favorites for the moment will be posted next week! But tomorrow - the awful stuff... 

Fräulein Frauke Presents: Under The Sea!

I always do a bit of promo for the Fräulein Frauke Presents, and that's because these events are so good!!! Created by Swedish burlesque star Fräulein Frauke, together with her husband, photographer John Paul Bichard, it's finally time for an evening of decadence and burlesque at beautiful Nalen again! And as you can see from the title of this post, the theme of the party this time will be Under The Sea!

Inspiration for the night comes from "handsome but dangerous" tattooed sailors, scary sea monsters, bathing beauties, alluring sirens, and Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

On stage we will see:

Christopher Wonder (US) - Mr Wonder, a magician and conférencière! 

Cleo Viper (IT)- Straight back from the roaring 20s!

Fräulein Frauke - the Saucy Songbird

Virginia Valentine - Virginia V the Pirate Queen for the evening...

Manda the Octupus Act - Circus artiste extraordinare! 

Pepper Potemkin - Burlesque Bombshell

Kitty Sincane - one of Sweden's newest burlesque starlets.

Janne Sjöblom Trio - Giving jazz to the people! 

Because Fräulein Frauke Presents just has started a collaboration with Cointreau, the one-hundred first well dressed guests will be getting free Cointreaupolitans! The two best dressed will win fabulous prices in the form of Marilyn Monroe's favorite champagne - Piper Heidesieck, and a very exclusive exhibition of Dita von Teese will also be taking place during the night...

If my little costume-project turns out well, I'll be going as a burlesque water nymph. But if I had had some extra cash in my mattress I might have gotten this scaly Elie Saab dress...

...Or this fish-tail-like piece by Christian Siriano!

The date for the event is September 8th, and the time 9 pm - 2 am! Tickets can be pre-bought at Nalen! Looking forward to be amazed, entertained...and possibly a bit tipsy!
