Back on track

I almost forgot all about this blog. I wish I could forget

about shopping just as easily. Until that glorious day appears, here 

are my wishes for june: Acne jacket - acnestudios.com, Matthew 

Williamson for H&M belt - ebay.com, Acne gladiators - 

acnestudios.com, denim shorts - Forever 21, swimsuit - 

Netaporter.com, shoppingbag - Bunnyhug.co.uk, sandal - 

Brownsfashion.com, D&G kaftan - Mywardrobe.com, 

Ray Ban wayfarer - Netaporter.com and Alexander Wang bag - 

Farfetch.com. One problem: I just paid my vacation, so my 

budget can hardly handle the denim shorts. They're $ 20 :-).

Fashion swap party tips

Fashion swap parties are frequent on the New York party scene, and I wish that these parties would be more common in Oslo (and that someone would invite me). Off course I could take the initiative myself. Anyways, we should learn from the best, and here is the swap party connisseur Loren Silbers top 5 tips for a successful swap party:

1. Find the right location

You'll need plenty of space, good light and rest rooms. Proprietors may offer space in a bar for free in anticipation of people spending money on drinks.

2. Spread the word

Send an e-vite to friends. Allow at least two weeks lead time, as it takes most people at least that much time to gather swap items.

3. Create a party atmosphere

Present your event as a social event as well as an exchange . Plan for music and refreshments to put people at ease and encourage people to socialize.

4. Get organized ahead of time

Consider tables, hangers, signs clothing racks, sign in sheets, mirrors, dressing rooms to keep your swap organized.

5. Donate what's left to charity

It really makes people feel that what they are doing is reaching out far beyond their basic desire for more clothes.

Dane design

Yet another reason to do some credit card damage is coming up. The danish, supposed to be a genious, fashion designer Henrik Vibskov is coming to town. The store is opening in Posthallen, in Oslo today at 4 o clock. I will check it out.
