As the year draws to an end, it's time to glance back at a few of 2011's most fashion(memor)able moments.

Let's begin in January where the world of fashion was still outraged by French Vogue's December (2010) issue with a 15 page spread featuring young girls all dolled up in luxurious dresses, jewelry, heavy make-up and sexy high heels.

Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau, a 10-year-old French model and daughter of famous French tv-hostess, starred the editorial, and although it was criticized for an inappropriate sexualisation of children, evil tounges quickly silenced, and this little beauty was entitled the status of  this year's "new it-girl".

Apologise for the lenght of this post. Just could not choose between the many looks that I love from Oliver Theysken's fall/winter 2011 collection. I want to get my hands on every piece of it. However, I might just settle for a pair of the shoes. They sure are just as sculptural as the clothes.

Went to see New York designer Misha Nonoo's spring 2012 presentation today at Milk Studios. The collection has a fresh resort feeling to it, with its combinations of bright coloured light textures, classic sporty tailoring and rich sequined items. For the presentation the designer herself was underlining the colour theme by wearing a full length electric blue silk dress.

Out of every bouncing vehicle and in the coolest stores in Manhattan you'll hear Pitbull's "I know you want me" playing. Everyone is singing to it and making their best moves standing in line for the fitting rooms. We are no exception ourselves, however as the fashionistas we are, we mostly recongnise the tune from Lanvin's Fall/Winter campaign video.

First day in the city feeling jetlagged. Like every store on fifth avenue we're warming up to Fashion's Night Out - the all over shopping event that will kickstart New York Fashion Week. And the recepie: shopping on Bleeker street, power walk on The High Line, Magnolia sweet treats and a LUSH bath bomb for the hotel tub.

Packing my bags for NY reminds me of last time I travelled off the continent to see the land of colors and dust. A memory of great beauty which is reignited whenever I look at this amazing campaign.

Fellow Scandie, the talented Norwegian jewellery designer Bjørg has shot this season's campaign in Morocco. I love how Bjørg creates small sculptural pieces of art in her jewellery design - but just as much do I love Morocco.  Perhaps I'll try taming my cravings for new fall accessories and save up for a shopping spree in Marrakech.
