Get the Baby Essentials

Striped, dotted, one coloured, bodys and trousers which can be forever combined. Soft and comfortable unisex items which don't itch. Little things which makes everyday life a little easier. Just those kinds of items you want your little rascal to wear. Another good thing: choose your three favourites and only pay for two. A smart deal.

More, perhaps obvious, tips which can be a helping hand:

- Bedtime can be a bit of a struggle sometimes. A hot bath and a cup of warm milk can do wonders.

- Music, such a universal happy pill. Dance with your little one to soft and cool tones. Good for you and your baby.

- Does your baby prefer to fall asleep on your arms? Not so strange when you think about it, you are warm and cuddly. Make it as comfy in your baby's bed by heating up a wheat heater and put in the bed some time before bedtime to make the baby's sleeping area just as cosy as you are. Well, almost.

Editors' Picks - Casual Cool

The leather jacket. A real classic when speaking about fashion. Always right, always cool. If you feel a bit stuck in your fashion routine, then it's a fashion saver to be able to return to the items that always works. Blake Lively and Miranda Kerr both opts for the short black leather piece and teams it with all black or the, also so classic, striped top. Simple and pretty. To use the jacket indoors is fashion tip, especially during the winter time when it's perhaps too cold for the minus temperatures which we have now.

Shape Up!

We've said it before and we're happy to say it again. Shaping. Makes. Wonders.  To put on lovely and comfortable underwear which fixes your figure in a beat. That feels right.

Yesterday we invited Swedish bloggers and the fashion press to a lingerie press event in Stockholm where we showed our latest shaping products. At the scene you could also find Lilla Bruket, a small family business from Swedish west coast which produces handmade ecological soaps and spa products.

Take me to Tokyo

When mentioning Asia one can't foresee Toyo. The Lindex designers often visit Tokyo for inspiration and of course we got curious, especially about the young fashion scene.

Tokyo. Just the name sounds like a fairytale. Another part of the world. Another rhythm. If you have seen the film Lost in Translation you are pretty close to what you can expect. World class shopping, sightings and experience. Hitting 35 million people you are bound to land in a city with a constant flow.

Tokyo

Sky scrapers and neon lights surround the Shibuya area, which is one of Tokyo's most colourful and exciting districts. Here you'll find fun shopping, fantastic restaurants and night clubs. Shibuya is the center for the young teenage culture and the streets surrounding the area is the core of a lot Japan's fashion and entertainment trends. Just to be here and soak up the atmosphere is a must if you visit the fashion capital of Asia. Regarding what you like to shop you'll find it here. Guaranteed. If you are looking for the latest trends, then take the time to wander the side streets where you'll find the most exciting shops. It's crazy, hysterical and very inspiring.

Tokyo2

In Shibuya you'll also find Harajuku, which is an area around the Harajuku train station. Here you'll find the really creative teenagers. The ones who live for their style. And dress like characters from a Manga series. That alone makes it interesting.

Tokyo. Will we meet?

A taste of Asia

We are bit hooked on Asian flavours right now (as you can tell). Therefore we would like to start this Monday by giving you a taste of Asia.  Sesame Chicken Noodle Salad. Like the sound of that? Then start cooking!

Sesame

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless chicken breasts
salt
3 tablespoons cooking oil (peanut, vegetable or canola)
1/2 large red chili pepper, sliced
1 cucumber, washed and thinly sliced
1-2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns (optional)
5 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
1 garlic clove, peeled
4 tablespoons kejap manis
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
3.5 ounces thin, dried Japanese or Chinese noodles (such as somen or soba) Kecap Manis is a sweet Indonesian soy sauce you can find in any Asian market

Directions:

Place the chicken breasts in a pot with lightly salted water (enough water to cover the chicken.) Bring to a boil, immediately reduce heat and cook in the barely simmering water for 10-15 minutes until done. Test for doneness. Remove chicken and let cool. Return water back to boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions and drain.

Heat a wok or frying pan with the cooking oil, Sichuan peppercorns and red chili pepper until the peppercorns unfolds its aroma. Add the cucumber and fry for 30 seconds. Let cool.

In a mortar, crush the garlic and just 4 tablespoons of the sesame seeds until it forms a rough paste. You can also do this in a blender. Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame seeds, kejap manis, sesame oil and about 5 tablespoons of water. Stir the sesame sauce.

Shred the cooked chicken meat, toss with the sesame sauce along with the oil/peppercorn/pepper mixture and drained noodles.

Asian fashion influence

Two world famous fashion brands with Asian heritage is of course Kenzo and Issey Miyake. The founder of the former is Kenzo Takada born in Japan, now living in Paris. Kenzo is famous for letting east meet west. The brand signature is flower pattern in all shapes and colours. An ethnic feel which breathes positivism and joy. Kenzo is also famous for all the fantastic perfumes.  Kenzo himself is no longer part of the brand instead it is the designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim who carries on in bringing the world the lovely fashion of Kenzo.

Kenzo

Issey Miyake became famous for incorporating technology in his clothes and design like no other. How about items which looks like they have been painted on the body or clothes which seemingly looks completely seamless? Miyake has always been ahead of his time and perhaps his outfits' demands a little bit from the wearer. Regardless if you like it or not we like to get inspired and that we are from the spring/summer collection.

International inspiration

The catwalk shows earlier this autumn showed spring collections which were both maximalist and clean cut simple. Celine offered an all over flower look which really is a bold sartorial statement. Just what we need to get some extra fashion energy right now. Stella McCartney's silhouette feels like a painting. Camilla and Marc mix a black base with a flower palette in strong colours. Donna Karan's resort-collection makes us think of an urban vacation and yet again the flower is in the limelight.
