Marvelous Malene

I know I just posted a lot of color but what's really been inspiring lately is black and white. It's the hot look for spring 2013 fashion and it's still a classic for the home.  You might remember that Danish fashion designer Malene Birger is also a fan from this post.   Well, she's been at it again at her new home in Palma, Mallorca. The article was in Dutch so I can't tell you any more but as we know, a picture is worth a thousand words. I really wish she's open a store in New York but until that happens, you can shop for By Malene online at Shopbop and Net-a-Porter. 

Something Chic in Denmark

The new Lonny is online today and I immediately fell in love with this home outside Copenhagen, Denmark.  It's owned by Marianne Brandi and Keld Mikkelsen who head the fashion company Day Birger et Mikkelsen. The company description sounds like it could also be describing their home, the "vision was to bring beautiful, ethnic influences from his world travels and merge them with Scandinavian simplicity, masculine tailoring and vintage inspired styles. The result is a luxurious mix of modern classics, embellished details, exquisite craftsmanship and inventive elements." It also has a similar feeling to the home of Malene Birger who was once a designer for Day Birger et Mikkelsen and now has her own line By Malene Birger.  For more pics and the full story, head over to Lonny.

Chic Repeat: Malene Birger

I started out on track this week but photo shoots for the book and preparations for trips to Atlanta and LA have left me falling behind.  Until I get myself squared away, I'm posting a repeat.  If television can do it, why can't I?  The house belongs to Danish fashion designer Malene Birger, who has the lovely nickname of the "Queen of Fashion in Copenhagen." It's still one of my all time favorite more than a year and a half later.  I can find some of her fashions in the US but I'm still waiting for her to open a stand alone shop.  I can already imagine it being just as chic as her own home.
