Photo by Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist
Today Burberry launched a website called Art of the Trench. It’s a project and a celebration of their outerwear, and especially the famous Trench Coat. The project is a collaboration with the photographer, and blogger Scott Schuman/The Sartorialist. I like projects like this, showing how real people uses simular coats in different ways, it’s inspiring. The beautiful photos are just another reason to check it out.
Fashion is often thought of as feminine, even when it comes to menswear. This might be one of the reasons that regular guys do not want to be associated with fashion. Well there are a new crowd of guys that actually are interested in fashion, and the number is growing. Esepecially in some Cities, like New York. Here fashion is used widly to communicate personality, political statements, or to simply stand out from the crowd. For this fall, it looks like some of the designers got it right.

I actually didn’t know that Tiffany’s had products for men, and the fact that the design is good. Masculine, minimalistic and classic. The only jewlery i own as most men, are cuff links. However, before i leave I will also own one of these;
Tomorrow, or maybe today, since New York is six hours behind the time-zone in Norway and Sweden. The new Kent Album Röd is being releaset. I have pre-ordered it on iTunes, so now all i have to do is wait… Tomorrow there will be a release-party here in New York, and I have to go and check it out, even though I can’t get in. Now I’m going to listen some more to Töntarna, while I’m waiting for the whole album.
I’m not joking, on my way to school some people where gathered around something. Curious as I am I had to look, and there, hanging in front of a window was a small possum. See for your self!
Actually it was kinda cute…
I read quite a few blogs, but my alltime favorite is The Sartorialist. I love that he is selected as one of Time Magazines Top 100 design influencers. There is not much to this blog really. He walks around in different cities (mostly NY) taking pictures of people he thinks look stylish. This simple act has become a huge sucsess, and all the honor to Scott Schuman. If you want inspiration on how to dress, just see what people wear, or take a look at beautiful pictures this is the blog for you.
A few months ago he gave out a book with a collection of his favorite pictures. I bought it, and went to his book signing here in NY with some friends.
I’m going to miss things like that when i go back to Norway!
Today I finished my exam in English Business, It was easy, as it was just a presentation, and some questions. Hurra! Now it’s a month without stress, before the final exams wait at the start of December!
I can finally say that it is fall her in NY. There’s something I really like about autumn, but I can’t explain what. Maybe it’s the colors, the change in temperature, or the fact that winter is just around the corner. My favorite time of the year is winter, but fall has to be the second best. The fact that it is winter in Norway now and not here is weird. I’m looking forward to go home, but I will definitely miss New York and Jersey City! I am going to enjoy my last month here, and I will move back some time in the future!
My house, in the middle of the street…
And now I have to wash some more clothes! BOORING!
Well, yesterday it was Halloween, and since I was celebrating it here in the US it had to be good, and it was. Thursday I was out looking for a costume, and I didn’t find anything I like. So I ended up improvising a bit, with my own clothes, and a friend who is a make up artist. The Joker ended up beeing my result! Walking around in New York last night was amazing, everyone was wearing great costumes, and the parade was even better! All in all a great night!
The Joker ruled Gotham City, one last time!
Tomorrow I have my English Business exam, so today has been all about preperation, but I’m not nervous 
Wish me luck!
Florida, I don’t even know where to begin. On Sunday I came home from a week long vaication in Daytona Beach, Florida. A week of sun and summer, and of new experiences. I think it’s safe to say that New York is not like the rest of the U.S, probably not even close. I can also say that i prefer New York. Well, I went to Florida to visit my cousin and her husband, who is studying to be a pilot there. they live in these great apartment complex, with a pool and everything. I think it is safe to say that I’m not so pale now as I was before I left, though the difference is small.
Winter Haven
Florida, at least the part I saw was nice, not beautiful, but nice. Its different from New York, and from Norway. In Daytona there wasn’t a “City Center” or something like that, you had to drive to get everywhere, because everything is spread all around the area. Almost nobody walked anywhere, they drove. Even at Wallmart they had electric carts that people could drive, so they wouldn’t have to walk while shopping. In Daytona they also allow people to drive at the beach. Need I say more?
Apart from having to drive everywhere, Florida was nice. On my first day, after my plane landed in Orlando, we went to a small “town” called Winter Haven. It’s a place where rich people from New York have winter(summer) houses, so when it gets to cold in NY, they just take their private jet to Florida. This town was actually beautiful, and I found myself a hat in a store!
Sheikra, Busch Gardens
We also went to Busch Gardens in Tampa. I cannot even describe how much fun it was there. The park was so empty that we almost didn’t have to stand in line to take the roller coaster’s. The best one was called Sheikra or something, and had 90 degree drop in it. I think we took that one 6 times! combining the whole day in general I think we ended up with 15 or 16 rides on four different roller coasters, but Sheikra was definitely the best one.
On my last day, we flew over Daytona in a small plane. It was great, you could actually feel every movement of the plane! Brilliant!
I haven’t blogged for quite a while now, and it’s kinda sad. Not that I have to many readers, but to the people that read my blog I’m sorry. Living in New York is hectic, there is so much going on, that I actually forget to post updates! And that is even more sad, as I have so much to tell all the time!
Well, today I’m travelling to Florida, in fact I’m sitting at the airport right now. I’m going to Daytona Beach to visit my cousin, and her husband, which I think will be very nice. I’m going to stay there for a week. A week of summer I would say, as fall is starting to set in here in NY.
Untill next time (maybe tomorrow) take care! : )
