Why Grey?
I have always been drawn to grey. Every year the thought 'I'm going to add some colour in my wardrobe' immerges, but not much materialises from it, and I 'end up' (well, want) mostly grey pieces..mixed with white or black!
I stumbled across this a while back on a lovely blog www.conversationpieces.co.uk as I was looking for ideas to garnish a grey wall (no surprise there!) where I was living in Stockholm last year. It was a sign in a shop window in Islington..but I am going to have it in my future home for sure...

Stockholm Street Style, Location: Hötorget
Location: Hötorget
Name: Marcel Pacheco
Marcel, an art student, loves life, art and music, in particular genres such as hip hop, samba, bosa nova, and jazz. Born in Sweden with Brazilian heritage, his beautiful hair is difficult not to swoon over! His style inspirations come from old movies and Japanese animation films. In Stockholm, he likes to shop at Beyond Retro, Weekday, Myrorna, Stockholm Stadmission and vintage stores.
Style is unique and personal, with fashion often being overpowered by the seasonal trends, and so Marcel tells me "Everything is subjective, creativity comes in any form" which explains why his favourite quote is by Pablo Picasso: "Ah, good taste! .... Taste is the enemy of creativity".

Name:Petra Wranning-Thörn
Location: Gamla Stan
With her delicate, angelic features, no one would think Petra played it ‘Punk’ in her style past! She prefers to be more feminine these days, steering toward elements of old Hollywood glamour and the ’70′s. She is also inspired by old family photographs, vintage and her parents clothes from the 80′s.

Stockholm Street Style, Location: Gögatan, Södermalm
19 year old student Julia, gives a nod to the people around her and the Swedish bloggers for her style inspiration. She loves to shop and other than the brands she is wearing she includes Monki, Weekday and vintage finds amongst her ‘go to’ style buys. With her Fall ’11 short hair, 90′s inspired ‘Flatform’ shoes and the ‘all black is never enough’ mantra, she states youthful, style and confidence.
Black dominated the runways for Fall again, but that’s ok,we don’t mind, as although wearing all black can sometimes look heavy and drained, Julia shows that mixing the textures creates dimension and focus on each piece worn. Stockholmers’, you never disappoint on the style stakes…’
