Lara Stone and Anne Vyalitsyna show off Sonia Rykiel lingerie collection pour H&M
After seeing Sonia Rykiel’s line for H&M in person, I am feeling a little bit confused right now. Perhaps it is because as I stepped out the door at home, extremely excited to see the fresh new arrivals, my loving mum reminded me once again that a pair of panties of that quality could be made at $USD 1.00. Arrrrgh… Thanks, Mum!
Well… If I neglect mum’s advice, I think the prices of Sonia Rykiel’s line for H&M are reasonable, because afterall it is evidently cheaper than the real line. Nonetheless, it’s still not to my wallet’s taste, especially the headband and the oversized brooch with the playful Rykiel big bow at respectfully $USD 34.95 and $USD 24.95. As expected, the store was flooded with people today. They all snapped a monstrous chunk of sexy bras and panties intimately in their arm. The favourite amongst the crowd was understandably the design with the colourful Rykiel signature stripes. With the armful of goodies, the girls found themselves stuck in a hideous queue outside the changeroom. Only a few dared to spend and went home with a tiny little Sonia Rykiel pour H&M bag. Well… It seems like no one was willing to go completely nuts for it.

Sonia Rykiel pour H&M Christmas 2009
Mark the Date! Sonia Rykiel for H&M’s lingerie collection is coming to stores worldwide on 5th December 2009. Ready or not, you know, it’s going to strike in style! So far from the pictures released, the collection seems to be playful and chic in the French label’s notorious ways! Although to me the girls in the campaign – Lara Stone, Anne Vyalitsyna and Caroline Trentini – looked out of place and not in sync with each other, I just love the way each girl looks so comfortable and at ease in it. That’s the way underwear should be, no? Body conscious, smart and sexy; Sonia Rykiel has it!

The Trophies from the Victorious Trip
The other day I was searching for a birthday present for my friend… and guess what happened? I ended up shopping for me. At the end of the night, I ended up with a total of:
- four sweaters with approximately the same design. 2 in grey, 1 in black from Mango and 1 in white.
- Italian Vogue August 2008 (Love this issue!)
- Dansk Autumn 2008 issue (Ahhh…)
- Mango Fall/Winter 2008 catalog (Mmm… Marina!).
Then, very slowly, this made me realise that my style is actually very simple and that I would go crazy if I ever go near the Sonia Rykiel boutique or the Jil Sander store, because as we all know Sonia is famously coined as the queen of sweaters and Jil Sander the queen of minimalism. Well… I will report on my trip to Sonia Rykiel and Jil Sander when the time comes…

Original post as of Dec 2008:
Ohhh… Life is so hard! Why must it be so hard? Which homme? Which homme Swede homme?
Jesper Lund
vs.
Marcus Hedbrandh
That is a never ending question!
Well… Just because his lastname is Lund, I automatically assumed that Jesper, like Marcus Hedbrandh, is naturally from Lund in Sweden. Well… It turns out he is actually from the Municipality of Gentofte in Copenhagen, Denmark. So… I guess Marcus wins in this silly just-for-fun competition of mine on account of his 87.5% Swede-ness (He’s 12.5% Danish according to models.com)! Congratulations, Marcus! You are the Man!

Karen Elson advertising for Sonia Rykiel's Fall/Winter 2008 Underwear collection
Sonia Rykiel’s Fall/Winter Underwear collection is out already and who else can transmit that fiery passion that underwear seems to bring out other than the flaming red-headed British model Karen Elson? Now, if only I could find where they are sold…
