About Me

My photo
I am a "Twenty something" year old Swedish girl, currently living in Montreal for the past 5 years. I recently started blogging. I write a lot about my life in Montreal, work, traveling, shopping, friends and sometimes a little bit about LOVE. Even though my blog talks a lot about fashion I would not call it a "fashion blog". I am not quite sure what to call this blog. I blog about everything I love around the world. It can be anything from fashion to food. It's simply a Viktoria blog, a blog about the things I love...so I will call it ViktoriaLove! Welcome to my blog!

ViktoriaLove has a new website

Down Town

Share


It's not raining today, after 5 days of constant rain. Yay!
Perfect day to go down town and that is what I did.


It was a little chilly so I took out one of my favorite scarfs and put on my Vintage Gucci Sunglasses.
My mommy gave me these sunglasses a while back but she bought them some time in the late 70's or early 80's.
I absolutely LOVE them!
What do you think of the vintage Gucci's? I am a big fan of vintage sunglasses because the chances of one running into someone else that has the same sunglasses as you are like slim to none.


Me and my chichi Mikey are waiting in the car while someone special is getting us a drink and a snack from RachelBerry which is my favorite health food store in Montreal.

Once we had our supplies we headed to see the lovely Mary at Tres Chic Styling. This girl is really awesome always happy and always so nice. We had to take care of a little errand there first and then it was off to H&M.
I saw a jacket online that I wanted to check out in real life to see if it is actually as nice as it was in the pic.

When we finally got to H&M and I found the jacket I was looking for (which was a challenge as there was hundreds of crazy girls shopping at H&M today) I tried it on and it looked great, I really liked it.
BUT...big but....my "special person" that was with me did NOT like it. What do I do now I thought to myself?

Although I liked the jacket it still made me a bit insecure when my "special person" was not to crazy about it. "Special person's" opinion really matters to me. Ok, as I couldn't decide I reserved the jacket till Monday so I can think about it and I wanna ask you, the readers whether it's a

LOVE's It or SHOVE's It!?!?!

Help me out please!
Here is a picture of the jacket.


Picture this jacket with a nice pair of black leggings and knee high leather boots with maybe a nice tunic top or maybe just a simple white low v-neck tee.

Evil Eyes & Hamsa Hands by ViktoriaLove

Share


Rainy, cold, windy & dull is a perfect day to work on Evil eyes and Hamsa hands jewelry by ViktoriaLove.

I've been wanting to start this little fun creative hobby for a while but never had the time to do so, till today. I think it will turn out really good. Still needs a lot of work and research but at least this is a start.

You all know what an evil eye & hamsa hand fanatic I am, I counted all my bracelets that I have today but I don't dare to tell you the number. Anyways as I am such a big fan on these bracelets here comes the first evil eyes & hamsa hand bracelet by ViktoriaLove.



My supplies to create the first bracelet.
Some evil eyes, hamsa hands, little shiny crystals and other essentials.



Here it is the first Evil eye & Hamsa hand bracelet by ViktoriaLove

Fits like a glove!



Goes really well with my single evil eye bracelet.
LOVES IT!

You want one?
Let me know...and stay tuned for more designs and models, coming soon.

Popping in at Fashion Pop Montreal

Share


Fashion Pop, is serving a double duty this time around. It is the launch party for this year's Puces Pop but also a fashion show with a fresh selection of local up-and-coming designers.
That is where I was last night!





Since it was a fashionista gathering I thought I would represent Scandinavia by wearing one of my Odd Molly dresses.

I was in a hurry when leaving the house so my pics are not that great but I was wearing my S. Weitzman 50/50 boots for the first time last night.



Nat & Me at the entrance of Rialto

Cheers!

Lovely Nat has taken her seat to scope the local talents
and Dikran too.

It was a nice surprise that DJ Mini was spinning some good electro.

And So it began....there was some really nice pieces last night. My favorite was designer number two. The name of her label was Prototype. Really nice stuff!

Yes, there were "goodie bags" but they were disappointing because they only contained magazines and flyers...but better than nothing.

There is lots more exciting Pop Montreal stuff going on around the city until October 3rd. I'll let you know where I will be next.

Top 10's in Fashion

Share






After a local Montreal fashion show, with local designers last night I got really inspired and curious about who is on top in the fashion world. When they were at the top and for what category.
After a little research I found the Top 10's in fashion. Anything from the Top Ten Collections to Top Ten Scenesters.


I picked a few of my favorites, mostly one from each category.

My favorite Top Ten Collection

Alexander McQueen's (Spring 2010 collection) Plato's Atlantis production was his embrace of digital technology.
In this collection you there was anything from outlandish shoes to lobster claws which proved once again McQueen still has his talent as a fashion designer but also does not fail to provoke.

My favorite Top Ten Fashion Icon

This was an easy pick for as I LOVE Lady Gaga. Lady G may have gotten inspired by Madonna but she has gone way further than Madonna ever did. It also help to have Nicola Formichetti on your own styling team. Who does not love this lobster headpiece?


My "itiest" accessory

This was a hard one as the iPhone is not really a fashion accessory but personally I can't live without it. I always have it with me no matter what outfit I am wearing and it always matches..hehe...so for me there was no other option for the "itiest" accessory.


My favorite Top Ten Model

This was a HARD one. There are so many beautiful models out there. I love all the top ten models but if I can only pick it had to be Lara Stone. She has a beautiful body (not super, uber skinny) and the bleached brows, tooth gap and her curves make her GORGEOUS!


My favorite Top Ten Scenester

Blah, blah, blah.....I know what you are thinking but as my as Lilo does get in trouble she still manages to show up where it matters, whether she is wearing her alcohol bracelet or not. I will give her props for that.

These are my top picks. What are yours?
If you click here you can see the complete list for the Top 10's at style.com

PS I will upload pics from last night fashion show asap

Busy Bee

Today was a really productive day all in all.
I did my yoga as usual then I went and I got some yummy and healthy groceries. I don't usually enjoy shopping for food but today was actually kind of nice.

It's my brothers birthday soon so he is having a huge party in Stockholm, so I designed some nice VIP invites for the guests who are invited to the dinner before the actual party starts. Then I went to print them and they turned out SUPER nice. I will post a pic of the invite tomorrow. As I was already at the print shop I decided to print some other documents that I needed. I actually just got home and I am pretty tired. Gonna make a nice fruit plate and watch an episode or two of "How I met your mother" then head to bed.

Tomorrow is going to be really fun and exciting as I am invited to the Fashion Pop show and I can't wait. Lots of local fashion and fun people. I will take lots of pic and maybe even some videos. I will of course post it all asap. Now time for my beauty sleep and some cuddles with my chichi.

xoxo


Very relaxed look this evening.
Hoodie from WESC, 7 jeans, Ed Hardy shoes, jacket from Mathilde Stockholm, Diesel cap and scarf from Zara.
It was pooooooring out when I was leaving the house so I didn't feel like dressing up at all.
What you think of the super relaxed look?

Temp Tattoos Cooler than Real Tattoos?

Share


Real vs Temporary Tattoos?

I keep seeing more and more designers come out with temporary tattoos is this good? Bad? Cool?
I like tattoos, I don't have any myself but I like them. I have always wanted one but I am scared that I will get tired of the design or the place on my body it is tattooed on. I also think tattoos look nice as long as your skin looks nice and healthy but when I see someone with nasty, wrinkly skin and a tattoo that you can't tell what it is anymore I think it looks gross. So I actually think that nice, fashionable tattoos by famous designers id the perfect option for me.

One of my already favorite designers has already launched a series or temporary tattoos. It's Betsey Johnson that has launched these super nice and trendy temporary tattoos. Woohoo! I am so getting some.





There is no waiting list so it basically first come first serve. You can find them by clicking HERE on the Betsey Johnson website.

Here are some examples of the style sheets that you can get and then go a head and be creative and create a custom temporary tattoo look.
Wicked!


You know who else rocking and designing temporary tattoos?
She is "most def" one of my favorite artists.....any ideas?


beyonce02 Beyonce For Dereon Tattoos!

Taking cues from the latest obsession created by temporary tattoos Beyonce signs a deal with Temptu for a collection of tattoos. I just love the tattoo on her back so Sexy!

This is what Wwd reported:

"The tattoos are due on Nov. 1, and are available in both deluxe and basic packages. Designs include Deréon’s signature fleur icon, rocker bolts and chains, jewel baubles and spider designs. All are waterproof and designed to last for two to five days.The basic kits retail for $16 and will be available at Sephora stores in the U.S. and Canada, Sephora.com, Temptu.com and Dereon.com. The deluxe edition, $34 and limited to 500 pieces, will be available only on Temptu.com and Dereon.com. A waiting list is being taken here. Industry sources estimate the line could do upward of $200,000 at wholesale.”


After seeing these photographs of Beyonce for Tempu, I don't want real tattoos.
I WANT THESE ONES! They are so HOT!
I am signing up for the waiting list as soon as I finish writing this post. When I get my tattoos I will take sime pics and post them here on my blog for all of you to see. : )



At the end of the day what do you think about temporary tattoos?
Lame or Cool?
I know I prefer the temporary ones for sure as I can spot a new look depending on the occasion and outfit.
