Scandinavian for value

Copenhagen StreetStyle this week gives us Rebecca, aged 15. Yes, 15. Why was I not this cool when I was 15? Why am I still not this cool 10 years later?! I think the main answer to this question is because I am not Scandinavian.

My hypothesis is thus: being Scandinavian automatically makes you 26 times cooler fashion-wise than everyone else.

Proof #1 is Rebecca here with her cosy big scarf, messy-chic hair, wonderful fringe, simple outfit and (as far as I can tell) no need for make-up. And also just Copenhagen StreetStyle in general, see below for examples.

(another annoyingly stylish 15 year old. Totally unfair.)

Proof #2 is FashionGirl on Stockholm Streetstyle who is my style icon. She dresses in a really simple way and yet always looks totally fashionable and original.

Proof #3 is Swedish label Acne. The coolest label going, and not ridiculously expensive either. Plus you won't end up looking like a fashion victim as Acne plays by its own rules instead of enforcing jeggings on the world. (Ditto Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair)

Hypothesis proved. The End. Case closed.

BAFTA Awards 2010

I had quite high hopes for the BAFTA red carpet, especially for Carey Mulligan, but in actual fact, the red carpet dresses last night were pretty average. I didn't notice anyone who had got it totally wrong, so I guess that's a good thing. But there was little to nothing that made me really go wow. Normally you can expect a great Thandie Newton appearance at the BAFTA Awards, but it looked like she stayed home last night. Here are some of the women who were on the red carpet:


Best Dressed: Kate Winslet in Stella McCartney and Audrey Tautou in Lanvin
These two were definitely the best dressed of the night. Kate looked really elegant in the black Stella dress, I think it is one of her best red carpet looks ever. And it's impossible to dislike Audrey or Lanvin - so put them together and you have a winning look.



Second Best Dressed: Carey Mulligan in Vionnet and Anna Kendrick in Pucci
This floral printed Vionnet was not what I expected to see Carey in at all, and I think it worked rather well. Anna's Pucci dress was also unexpected. I think Carey was the better dressed of the pair but they both made interesting choices.


Coming in Third: Kristen Stewart in Chanel Couture and Claire Danes in Burberry
I don't understand the fuss surrounding Robert or Kristen. Last night he looked beyond gross with the dirtiest hair I've ever seen on live TV and Kristen looked so grumpy. And Claire Danes looked pretty in Burberry, but it was a very forgettable red carpet appearance.

At least the ELLE Style Awards are on tonight (I'm 98% sure the Olsen's will be there) so at least we're safe in the knowledge tonight will bring a more exciting red carpet.
What did you think of the BAFTA red carpet?
