Mint khaki trenchcoat from Modekungen, green printed crewneck from Vans (it says Vans off the wall on it but it doesn’t show in pictures because it’s threaded very maticulously in the same colour as the fabric), asphalt shorts from American Apparel, and mint Lita’s from Jeffrey Campbell.

Jacket from Modekungen, playsuit from Samsoe Samsoe, necklace from Glitter, shoes from Sugarfree shoes, bag from Dr Denim.

My new trenchcoat from Modekungen decided to show up today.
It’s kind of really big but I don’t mind it that much.
The color and material is awesome, the wait was not fun though.
Still I think I’m gonna gloss about in this for some weeks, it’s kind of perfect for spring.

I bought these two items today, way stoked, they’re gonna look great with my new playsuit from Samsoe Samsoe.
I’ll take some pictures when everything arrives! And yes, the mint one won. Haha.

I want one of these as a spring jacket. It’s kind of leaning towards the minty khaki one in the middle for me, but I don’t know yet. I put it up on my facebook and I’m getting mixed reviews. Which one should I get?

Den klassiska trenchcoaten. Helt klart ett tidlöst plagg som borde vara ett attribut i allas garderober. En klassisk trenchcoat funkar i alla väder och nästan alla kläder (eller ännu bättre, nästan inga kläder för en film noir look). Trenchcoaten är helt enkelt ikonisk och otroligt mångsidig. Vad jag älskar bäst med trenchcoaten är att den lägger på ett element av mystik till en outfit. Man tänker på spioner, detektiver, agenter, rymlingar. Sätt på dig ett par stora solglasögon, rött läppstift och en trenchcoat och du kommer definitivt att förstå min tankegång.

Designen har knappt förändrats på 90 år. Från Thomas Burberry och den brittiska armén i första världskriget, till Yves Saint Laurent och Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Hemsk bild på min pärla. Från hösten 09.

Translation: The classic trenchcoat. Most definitely a timeless garment that should be an attribute in everybody’s wardrobe. A classic trenchcoat works for every weather and almost all clothes (or even better, almost no clothes for a film noir look). The trenchcoat is simply iconic and incredibly versatile. What I love most about the trenchcoat is that it adds an element of mystery to an outfit. You think about spies, detectives, agents, fugitives. Put on a big pair of sunglasses, red lipstick and a trenchcoat and you will definitely understand my train of thought.

The design has barely changed in 90 years. From Thomas Burberry and the british army in World War 1, to Yves Saint Laurent and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Horrible picture of my gem. From last year’s fall, paired with red lipstick, black leather gloves, black laceups and white socks to break it off a bit.
