Where East meets West with a Scandinavian twist.

I came across beautiful new danish brand Birger et Mikkelsen . First time I have seen this brand few weeks ago on boot sale in Chiswick. I am visiting this market regularly as it is easy to find there unique high branded designer clothes ,shoes or accessories. I always look for new things in pristine condition same like on ebay as well . I do not understand why people selling products which are heavy used and deserve for a bin . Anyway I bought there two products .One is a two pieces set of top and shorts made from laser cut goat skin .First time I am having something like that .The leather is so soft and delicate difficult to even notice that is a leather as is very light . The exciting part is that the product is created for future collection SS 2015 and will be available in stores next year .This is a sample but was all with tags attached and brand new . It is a nice feeling to have something before anyone else can have it  .







I am surprised why they have created this for next spring as is obvious Autumn dark colours . Looks great with brown riding ankle boots from the same designer . Brogue style upper design and soft leather with sweet pink lining. Very comfy and perfect for everyday use and match easy with many outfits .



I am fascinated about this brand and already bought beige nice jumper from them . I am looking for more stuff but they are bit pricy .The company is based in cold and rainy Copenhagen .
Day Birger Et Mikkelsen vision was to bring beautiful ethnic influences from world travels and merge them with Scandinavian simplicity , masculine tailoring and vintage inspired styles . The result is a luxurious mix of modern

I was wearing the leather set which amazingly match with the brown leather sofa in the salon :-)
I went to the Golf Club in Denham wearing my lovely burgundy parka coat and mustard scarf brought as a present from Tunisia .
Usually I do quick delicate, subtle, illuminating make up .This time I have spent more time and have created something more artistic, spectacular and visible . My eye shadows was a  mixture of black,grey and few shades of green together with mascara,blush and bronzer which I bought from Chiswick as well.
