NEW BEGINNINGS, 2013...

For me the real beginning start now in the middle of March, were I see January and February as a chapter of reflection. Clean out the past, so I can receive over-view were I´m right now in my life regards to dreams contra the real world, and where I want to go in my next chapter of life. Clean out things in your inner and outer life brings your more possibilities to see and feel the future.

The astrological symbol of that is the SUN equinox, every year around the 21st March. So yes, I have been using January and February to clean and sort out all kinds of things in my inner and outer life. Things that I don´t think is necessary more in my life and in my coming future to have. It´s a big relief! You more you can clean out in your life, you more magic can happen in your daily life. You can enjoy the moment more when you don´t have to carry around with inner and outer stuff on yourself. You can breathe, see and feel things more clearly. I do this every year and every season, such in the case of my personal wardrobe. I like that. It feels like I can start the new year of new beginnings with more vitality, freshness and happiness in my life. And some of that outcome of reflection and inspiration I have seen, I will now show and share with you throw the key elements of the spring summer trends and global movements in 2013. My hope is that you can feel more secure, stabile and chic in your daily day of living surplus, in an uncertain world of constant change and shifting news, were the new future awaits us around the corner...

Enjoy the Future!

Lots of Love

FASHION  - SPRING/SUMMER, 2013.

• COMFORTABLE CHIC

In our own personal world of complexity, living in a world of complex, were we have many insecurities. My personal advise is to all of you out there, is to KEEP things SIMPLE! Simple is best. Don´t make it more complex and what is already is and are. Learn and know your own physical body regards to shape.

Build up your inner heart with strength so you can feel more confident and stabile inside your self regards to the uncertainty of the future movements. Dress your personal confident with timeless classic sophisticated elegant styles. It makes it easier for you to live, enjoy and navigate around a big ocean of unlimited water, regardless to day or nighttime. So keep your safe-belt on with your own self-value of being Confident, Comfortable and Chic at the same time in 2013!!!

 

LIFE-STYLE TRENDS

3 strong social culture global life-style movements, that are all 3 linked to each, in 2013.

• KEEP IT SIMPLE
• NATURAL LIVING 
• SUSTAINABLE FASHION

 

KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!

Future trends right now, in our global social culture world of society movements, is to KEEP things SIMPLE! This motto is reflected and showing right now in our global world of inner and outer creative expression. Living in a modern world were new multi-cultural nomad society is growing up, fast mobile technology and also many human challenges are awaiting us humans regards to economic, older population, political, religion, climate and the slowly disappearing of our earths animal and natural nature resources. Our new mental awareness and human consciousness are now reflecting our time of living in a unique human history. A new way of life-style trends of living in an old and a new modern world at the same time. We have never before in human history, been living 5 human generations at the same time with each other. It´s a very UNIQUE OF TIME!!!

 

BEING REAL = AUTHENTIC

The growing and understanding of our global world challenges, increasing our mental awareness as a modern human person of being. Make us people to think and reflect on what we see, hear and experience in our daily life of news flow. We are all in the same boat/World/United. We are all connected throw Internet, verbal and non-verbal communications and inner hearts.

The fast technology and the easy transport with fly to new destinations have made us people to reflect of who we really truly are as a human being. If we are not ON, who are we then as a truly real person? The Internet has made us people feel closer with each other as a global mix of unity. We can now reach each other twenty-four hours a day, were ever we are in the world. And that has made a global movement of a human reaction to be OFF, instead of be ON all the time. Deep reflection and questions in our human mind, hearts and soul. Answers that gives us clearness to who we really are as a real person. What is the meaning of life, what kind of future and world do we want to live in, and what kind of future is awaiting us ahead with our unborn or born children. We are looking for answers, peace, balance and silence that can help us in our daily life to feel more meaningfully and real. Live in inner peace with our self’s and our outer world of harmony. We are looking for a feeling that can make us FEEL REAL, right now in 2013 and in this moment of time. Be real as human being in balance with our dreams and the real world we are living in.

 

INTEROIR/DESIGN

• NATURAL LIVING

Natural living is a life-style where you go, feel and flow with the seasons of the month. Feeling the nature´s vibration of life-energy. Natural living is a way of living where you only use what is really necessary in your life. It´s a modern life of being an updated monk, who lives, very minimalistic and chic. We appreciate the things we already have in our life and don’t take life for granted at all. We take responsibility for the life we want to live but not try to hurt anyone on our way to find inner peace. The best things in life are for free. Such as love, kindness, humanity and the beauty of the nature.

Living close with the nature is one of the strongest life-style trends we see right now in 2013. Back too basic, back to the inner values of living, back to the roots and finally back to nature, again. Being sustainable in our daily life. The future interior trend is all about personal Well-being. Creating your personal nest with dreams, reflection and feeling comfortable of being you. You give your home a unique personality of being you that can grow on a long-term. You create your own mood-board home with personal stories of your own history and special memories of life and furniture of adventure. We fill our unique homes with few beautiful things that makes us feel happy and luxury. Both new and old things. Your home become your own unique treasure, were you can feel inner peace and authentic of being truly you! Interior trends is that wood should be mixed together with other fabrics of tree. Wood mixed in a background of soft calm colors that make us human feel "home". Living with wood makes us people calm. A spiritual place, were we can be in inner peace with our self’s authentic of me together with the raw natural sustainable materials from our history with mother earth.

... being close to the real NATURE. Living with the natural flow of the seasons, years and months. The life-energy of rainbow colors from the nature, fills us human up in every unique senses of feeling alive in our own physical body. Feeling as one with our nature, animals and our global world. That’s the emotional future that awaits us human ahead...

 

SUSTAINBLE FASHION

• RE-CYCLE!!!

Re-cycle, re-cycle and re-cycle. This word is the buzz-world to know, right now. RE-CYCLE!!! Sustainable Fashion is all about taking responsibility for the one you are as a person, for your domestic environment, the nature and for the world. Don’t waste or use more then necessary.

Re-cycle and use the things you already have in your personal wardrobe. The clothes and things you don’t use. Give it away or sell your things to people who would appreciate your things and use it, again.

FASHION TRENDS, S/S-2013.

SPRING/SUMMER-2013

• KEEP IT SIMPLE!
• PERSONAL STYLE
• NATURAL BEAUTY
• COMFORTABLE CHIC
• SUSTAINABLE FASHION

 

KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!

My way to keep things simple for you is to pick out some few sustainable trend looks for S/S-2013. These looks have everything that I think suits all ages. The look is timeless, comfortable and simple chic. The best fashion style that never goes out fashion is natural beauty of bodyshapes mixed with your own strong personality. When these two sides mixes together, it creates a unique shining third look that only can be your own trademark of being really truly beautiful you. You become the Sun of the light!!!

 

MY, PERSONAL STYLE

I will describe my personal style as very classic, comfortable and chic. You older I become, you more important it´s for me that I feel comfortable with the things I wear on me. It should be flexible and feminine at the same time. If my clothes and shoes don’t feel good on me, I don’t wear it at all. I admit that I have bought some shoes over the years that looked very nice and felt ok in the store when I bought them. But when I come home and walked in the shoes for the longer-term, I felt that the shoes were to hard for me to walk in. So I gave the shoes away immediately to charity. So the shape, the quality, the fabric, the color and the look in balance with the good price, gives the outcome if the product has a value for me to buy or not to buy. It´s my personal will of luxury.

To be and to feel comfortable in your own clothes is a deep luxury of feeling truly you. It´s a great and a luxury feeling to have. So this season I will re-cycle many clothes that I bought from the last seasons and years. I will update with new modern shapes mixed with my own personality.

- "Keep it Simple, in your own complexity of Personality. It makes it easier for you to See!"

 

PERSONAL STYLE

                                                -       CONTRASTS!!!

                                                -       PERSONALITY

Create contrast and increase and develop your own self-value of Personality. This is the main key and the big success to personal style. The key to be and feel chic is to create contrast with your own personality and your physical body. So for example if you have a strong personality, you could balance your clothes to look more casual. If you have a more sweet personality then it could be good for you to have some colors that shine up your inner you of feeling gorgeous. If you have very minimalistic tone-in-tone look, you could create a contrast with two different structures in the fabric. The newest fashion trend in 2013 is to create contrast to transparent materials and fabric. For example if you are having an elegant skirt, mix it with a laidback raw T-shirt.  The key is to know your self´s personality, physical body and mix it together with shapes and colors or patterns, that suits you best. When you feel comfortable chic in your clothes you attract the good!

 

NATURAL BEAUTY

Being natural is a personal style that never goes out of fashion, trends and style. Natural Beauty is a timeless beauty and sophisticated elegance that speaks throw inner hearts and deep souls. Natural beauty is a timeless elegance and sophisticated beauty that has not to do with physical age. Be realistic relaxed. The sweet touch of feeling and being natural comes back to us.  The Natural Look has never been so trendy and appreciated then now. Invest time in your own wellbeing of being and feeling more natural in 2013. Natural beauty 2013 is the year to be real, authentic, comfortable and sustainable chic.
