Lars Wallin Jewelry Collection

Sweden's leading couture designer, Lars Wallin, who has created dreamy dresses for both celebrities and princesses, has now also designed a jewelry collection. The collection is named Roxanne, and exists in two different looks - one in white, ethereal silver (Frost), and the other with a tougher, oxidised finnish (Oxy).

My own favorites from this collection is the Lily Frost earrings. Simple, yet beautiful silver flowers that can be worn to anything! You can find Lars Wallin's jewelry at Smycka. I'm not sure they ship outside of Sweden though...

Bukowskis' Showroom

As most of you know from reading this blog, I've been working as a stylist at the auction house Bukowskis the last few weeks, for their Vintage and Jewels auction. After the photographing for the web catalogue was done, we started building the showroom.

Huge balloons were part of the decoration! I felt like a ten year old little girl holding those things. When I held five at the same time I almost lifted from the ground...

Here's lovely Linda tying the balloons up. Look at her electrified hair!!!

And here is the result - flying dress number one...

...and flying dress number two!

We color-coordinated everything with the help of different paintings and photographs. This is the red corner - obviously...

Here we have a picture of a horse, under which stands a pair of shoes (the black ones) decorated with hair from the mane of an actual pony!

The Hermés Kelly bag - watched over by gorgeous Marilyn! I want that picture!

One of the cabinets. There were lots of stuff for sale!

One of the mannequins, dressed in Chanel and surrounded by bags from Dior and Gucci! One day a woman walked around with her husband, looking at all the clothes and trying some on. Then she stopped, pointed at me, and said loudly to her husband: "I want her dress!". He, he. Just a little something I stitched together myself - an original Miss Meadows! It was this dress by the way. Another day a very sleazy old man came and said he wanted to by me at the auction! Gah! Men with money just assumes they can get anything! Don't think he could have afforded me though. I'm don't sell out for money, I'd rather have somebody's soul...

Keith Richards kept an eye on everything...

He especially liked this Lars Wallin dress!

'

Dresses weren't the only thing that could fly - here we have an umbrella hovering too!

On the stage we put all the big Louis Vuitton travel cases. And more balloons...

This was one of my favorite pieces of the whole auction - a black, transparent blouse from the 20s or 30s! The sleeves were decorated with heavy rhinestones, and it was in top condition! If it had been just a little bit smaller I would have put a bid on it. Since it didn't have a label it was clubbed at a horribly low price...

Designer Bea Szenfeld had made an installation for the showroom - a big necklace made of white, gold and silver paper, folded as diamonds...

...and another piece of the same media, writing out part of the lyrics for Madonna's Material Girl!

During the VIP evening, when the showroom opened, a line to the jewelry room was soon created by eager guests.

I do understand them though...That room SPARKLED!!!

Here's a ring shaped as a frog. I spent a few minutes in that room every day, just to get my daily dose of diamonds. Right now I really suffer from the abstinence...

Fanny, Tifa and Elsa came to the opening night. Fanny even had a few pieces from her store Kellerman Vintage for sale at the auction!

Here's a little picture from the actual auction. Exciting...

I liked working at Bukowskis so much I couldn't stand the thought of leaving them when my work there was done, so I decided to end it all by hanging myself with a diamond necklace in the jewelry room...When I was almost out of air I remembered there was a burlesque party the next day though, which I really didn't wanna miss! So I released my neck from the 21.75 ct of diamonds...The starting bid on that thing was 100,000 SEK (14,730 US dollars) by the way. Could there be a better way to die?!

I made it to the burlesque party, but more about that tomorrow!

Bukowskis Instagramed!

As I told you in this post before I'm working as a stylist for Bukowskis right now, in preparation for their Vintage and Jewelry auction, that will take place on March 12th! I get to see, and work with, a lot of goodies at this place, so I've instagramed quite a few things during the week I've spent there. The ones of you following me on Instagram or Twitter (MissC_Meadows) might already have seen these photos, but for the ones of you that hasn't, here they come!

Hermès tie with little teddy bears!

Close up of one of the chandeliers for sale.

A Hermès Kelly bag!!! If you buy a completely new one of these bags you'll have to pay around 17,000-19,000 USD! (Over 100,000 SEK)! At the upcoming auction it might me sold for about one third of that price, so if you want it, March 12th is the day to shop! And yes, you can bid from other countries than Sweden too!

Guess who's coffee cup!

This is a big, heavy Louis Vuitton travel case from the turn of the 19th/20th century.

Here is photographer Fabulous Fabio fixing the f...f...f***k! There ended that lovely alliteration! Anyway. This is the the same travel case as in the picture above, but now open. Pretty ain't it?!

Here is another Louis Vuitton travel case, from the same era as the one above. This one is empty inside though. I felt a bit tired and tried to hide for a moment, but Fabio always finds me with that camera of his...

One of the days happened to be the official "Semla-day", so we all got creamy buns to devour!

A dress by Swedish designer Lars Wallin.

Close up! 

One day four of these "Liberace" couches arrived. A matching armchair and four mirrors also exist!

Close up of the "diamonds" in the backrest. These won't be sold at the auction, but you can still buy them at Bukowskis Market!

Another Market item - a banana penis made out of one dollar bills! It sparkles a bit too, and was made by Barton Lidice in 1986.

Here's Jenny, another photographer I'm styling for. In this picture she's wearing matching tennis shoes and bag from Chanel. 

Close up!

This I call "Gucci Still life"!

Here's me in my super heroine outfit - Louis Vuitton helmet and Chanel clips as pasties! The fishing rod is only there because of the string used for secret reasons...

In this photo I'm trying on a little necklace consisting of 630 brilliant-cut diamonds!!! All in all 11,0 ct!!! The reason I look a bitt "dull" in the picture is because I was in a state of chock...My pain-demon was bothering me a bit this day, but the diamonds made the pain so much better!

Then all by a sudden I noticed I had acquired a green Louis Vuitton tail...Ok. It was attached to the bag on my shoulder. But when carried like this the tail ends up in the right position...

On Thursday and Friday I will help styling the showroom before the auction. People who are interested in the objects for sale can then come look at it all from March 8th to March 11th, before the actual auction on March 12th! This Wednesday the catalog should also be ready for viewing!
