Björn Borg swedish export contest

I’ve teamed up with Björn Borg as the Dutch Blogger (there are about 14 other bloggers representing the other countries) to host the Swedish Exports competition, where you can win a feature on my blog + Bjorn Borgs site and also your weight in Bjorn Borg underwear!

The rules are simple:

1. Take a photo of how fun, cool, awesome, legendary, good and excellent you look in your Björn Borgs.
2. Upload your pictures here: SwedishExports.BjornBorg.com before Nov 28th
3. Keep your fingers crossed!

Me and Bjorn Borg will thereafter pick the coolest pictures to be published on my blog and on Bjorn Borg.

If you don’t already own a pair of Bjorn Borgs, you can buy them HERE!

For ideas in styling and to see the other photos submitted take a look at some of the photos here, you can be as creative as you want and to style and show your undies does not mean you have to show your goodies at all!! Be creative, original and fun ;)

Good luck :)

Super Nova

As some of you know... my free time tends to evolve around Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, 2001: a space odyssey, Metropolis etc etc (hmmm like seen HERE)... haha and the more robots and battleships involved the more I'm loving it all... silly me.. :)

So topped high on my wish list are the Shop Nasty Gal moonwalker bodysuit and the Solestruck Finsk 252-95 wedges. yes! Galaxy everything please :)

Double

I'm wearing; TopShop lace top, Levi's jeans shorts, All Saints boots, Botkier bag, Vintage Watches

I guess this was the last time I could wear my jeans shorts since the "freeze your ass off season" is about to really start... but maybe just maybe I get lucky and have a few more beautiful weekends....

I stacked on two vintage Men's watches, I always like these bulky watches better somehow... and its purely as accessory because I don't really like watches, I like them but I don't like to walk around being constantly reminded of the time? makes no sense maybe, haha

quirky geek

wearing; Teamo tee, H&M dress, All Saints boots, "fake" glasses photos taken by; FadetoBlack

yeah.... I'm a nerd... I guess its because of the glasses and me being into quirky geek looks, so I guess it makes me act like a geek too...

Maybe I should take a second editing attempt :)
