Stockholm shopping

[saann]

it's a newsletter about how you will be able to buy their stuff online soon =)

I am so happy about the new Benetton store that has opened, it's bigger and better than the last one <3

saann,
thank you!

Do anyone know of any shops that let you rent designer ware for photoshoots?

 

[Blondes]

Was anyone else at Dramaten yesterday? I found a cute jacket for myself and a blazer that fits my boyfriend perfectly. For 50 sek each!

 

[saann]

^no
what was going on there? and please don't tell me I missed anything great

 

[Blondes]

They sold 10000 items from from their costume collection.

Usually I never know when they have these things and read about it in the paper the next day, but this time they were a lot better with the publicity. It has been all over the newspapers the past week. The queue was half way around the block.

The great thing about this was that there was something for everyone - from the middle aged ladies who want to own a piece from a specific Ingmar Bergman play, to me looking for a nautical style blazer with (and for) the BF, to the "fashionable" girls with their hair in buns on top their heads looking for summer dresses.

Here's an article from DN: http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1298&a=770845

Ah, now I'm mad at myself for not going to the Dramaten sale I decided not to because I assumed it would be mostly costume clothes that aren't very appropriate for every day wear. Were they really selling clothes from Bergman's plays?! Why didn't I go?!

 

[saann]

I should really start reading the newspaper

 

[Blondes]

Yes, lots of every day appropriate stuff - after all modern theater is often about modern people (wearing modern clothes on stage). And I think I remember seeing a rack labeled Bergman in the more costume-y section, I really didn't pay much attention to it though.

I feel lost without having gone through at least 2 sections of DN with my morning tea. I hate national holidays - I always walk to the front door newly awake, mutter about the delivery guy for not delivering our paper and make plans to call and complain to customer service, before I realize that it's a stupid red day and there simply is no morning paper today.

If it wasn't for my compulsive newspaper reading, I would probably have missed the Lachapelle exhibit as well. I really enjoyed that, and I found a semi-inappropriate poster to hang on my living room wall. B)

 

[saann]

^oh no that ended.. I'm so lazy I totally forgot to go to that

back to the whole part of stockholm shopping, what are your favourite stores when it comes to shoes?
I really like mixage most of the times, they always have a great mix (and sale!)

 

[Blondes]

Mixage is fun. I bought a pair of silvery round toed, thick heeled pumps on their sale last fall. Like something Minnie Mouse would wear to a party.
That's how I get most of my shoes - randomly - so I don't really have any particular favorites.

I went to the dramaten sale, got some nice off white silk dresses. I also got a silk cape that I'm going to alter for free!

I also went to the filminstitutets sale last weekend. it was mighty good as well!

 

[maujer]

Do anyone know of any shops that let you rent designer ware for photoshoots?

hmm. pakladeriet in soder, but it's vintage. otherwise just ask the store what their stylist 'rental policy' is if they have one.

 

[Blondes]

Whaat? Filminstitutet hade a sale too? Why didn't I know about this...

 

[StellaMare]

^^ Seriously! I didn't know either.. I must have been living beneath a rock or something

[saann]

[StellaMare]

saann: miashopping.com usually posts the dates for upcoming sales and sample sales

 

[saann]

when are the sales starting in stockholm? do the high end stores start at the same time or do they have different kind of sales on exclusive days? oh and are the stores open on sundays?

i'm going to stockholm in the beginning of july and was thinking of getting my hands on some designer goodies. can't really afford to buy full priced clothes but if they have started their sales already, well it's a different thing
