Still loving MK's oversized Miu Miu tye-dye clutch. For years I have been trying to get my hands on it on ebay, and finally I see a light at the end of the tunnel: although I still haven't been able to find that exact one, Miu Miu is bringing out oversized clutches this autumn. In a variety of materials (leather, suede, velvet, mmmmmm) and colours, it will be hard to pick one. Or two.

Alex Wang Studio, New York

“We have very high ceilings and all this light, and it’s a place where you can have big ideas.” - Natalie Massenet, "Lunch with the FT" article

Large rooms with plenty of natural light and sleek interiors are exactly what I love as an office space. One needs space to think, much light to be bright, and not too much clutter to have big picture ideas.

Closet Confidential: How to pick a men's shirt

2011-01-27T20:28:00.003+01:00

I adore Men's Shirts - they are incredibly practical. Wear them casual with a pair of skinny jeans, belted to the beach, or simple to bed. In my opinion white or light blue is the most easily convertible, as they don't scream masculinity, as well as being sophisticated, sharp and clean.

There are a few things you have to learn about picking the proper men's shirt however.

You are not allowed to buy cheap/bad quality. I'm not saying they absolutely have to be Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford or from Savile Row, but if you opt for Target you WILL look like you are on a walk of shame.

Different situations call for different materials (for the beach something light is nice, like linen or thin cotton; for bed I like starched shirts), but the characteristics each shirt absolutely has to have are:

- long sleeves

- wider spread collar

- subtle stiches

- nice buttons

- breast pocket

Wear with lacy underwear and you'll feel extra sexy.

Enjoy.

Maison Michel spring/summer 2011

I love headdresses. Boaters, Sailors, Panama, Melons, Bérèt, Beanies, Bowler, Floppy, Fedora, Trilby, Cowboy and of course the Top hat. Crowns, Ribbons, Chains, Headbands, Flowercrowns, Braids, everything.

The craftsmanship of Maison Michel's products is stunning. I love how each different one of their headdresses allows you to take on a different personality, ranging from coy to sexy, boyish, adventurous or elegant.

The beauty is in the early hours

2010-06-18T00:50:00.002+02:00

I've been getting up at 6am these days.

I like the world that early in the morning.
Everything is still sleepy and quiet.

People aren't chattering down their phone,
complaining to their friends
laughing too loud.
Nobody needs to proove anything just yet -
how important they are, how wild, how clever, how whitty,
how sexy, how cool or anything.
Nobody is preaching in the streets
and if there's music in the air it's usually quiet and calm
or friendly and uplifting.

It's an alltogether friendly place.
No rush, no haste.

Summer Morning Soundtrack

2010-06-17T02:58:00.002+02:00

Strolling down the streets, one step after the other.
marvelling at the buildings
noticing robots on streets
faces in windows

Sun shining on my face, a breeze blowing through my hair.
Sunlight reflecting of my silver rings
Fingers cluthing a cup of tea
a smile on my lips

Good morning World
Good morning NYC
Good morning street and tree and people who walk by me

Keep spreading the news....

2010-04-28T20:56:00.002+02:00

Time doesn't seem to pass when everything is as always and you are waiting for something great to happen. I am counting days till this month is over, because April will hold a lot of adventures.
I'm travelling around a bit, visitng friends in Paris, Berlin and Edinburgh.

I can't wait to see oold + dear and new + exciting places and people, get inspired and take a whole load of pictures. Spring is in the air, and the first rays of warm sunshine make my fingertips tingle, restless and enthusiastic to DO something.

So if you guys know any places I CANNOT possibly miss while in any of the aforementioned places, please drop a comment.
Or do even if you don't have anything to say. You will put a smile on my face.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were a Chameleon? Blending into the environment, and changing your look with every step you take?
Well you can do that now. Or at least your feet can. Andreia Chaves makes you want to stare at the ground with every step you take. Her shoes show her faible for chaotic yet orderly designs that cast kaleidoscopic shadows on the ground you walk on.

Personally , I'd love to hop, skip and trott through life in those mirrored shoes. Imagine being able to check your lipstick anywhere, grillig insects when standing around and taking in "normal" people's confused look as they stare at your feet.

I die, I die!
This is the jacket I have been waiting for. Perfect mingling of fur and leather, I can only imagine how soft it would feel on your arms, and how great it would look with leather pants and a vintage shirt. If I would have about $3000 lying about, I'd be all over this at once.
I'd literally want to throw the money at them, grab the jacket and run - preferably having a hot male companion wait outside for me wearing Ray Bans and getting the motor started as I run towards him, jacket it hand.

All Eyes on Alexa

2010-03-19T11:58:00.002+01:00

Alexa knows how to mix kinky with Granny.

Note to self:

* Roam mommy's drawers - I'm fairly sure she still has a pair of lace trim cycling shorts lying around from the early 90s.....
* Ask Granny to move on to spring colours like Chanel-pink or eggshell and to hand over the darker tweeds to moi
* While skinny malinky gf up there may be able to stick all her whatnots into what looks like a self-recording device from Sony's 2001 era, I think I shall stick to my chanel quilted little fave...

Your mother may have told you to always take a piece of jewellery off before you leave the house, but Maria Felix proves that mommy ain't always right. In fact, pile on a whole rainforest scenario with snakes, aligators, flowers and clovers as Maria Felix does, and you can look slamming.
Now go dig up your Saltillo, slouch around on it under a tree, smoking - leave the cigars for your uncle - or drinking Sangria and enjoy the Mexican life

Odd Blood

2010-03-12T09:46:00.003+01:00

Got my weekly dose of live music last night

Pre-band: Hush Hush
Band: Yeasayer

Brooklyn based Yeasayers make your ears tingle with an exuberant mix of rock, folk and Indian/ African influences. Chris Keaton's voice makes you horny the second it first flows through the micro and out of the huge stereo. I love my live music and it always leaves you feeling bubbly and excited, but this is something else. Go listen now!!

Hush Hush could possibly be the first ginger mormon I've ever seen. Stepping on stage in a navy blazer, blue+white striped shirt with white collar, skinny dark jeans that graze the ankles, pointy black shoes and noticeably white socks, you could never begin to imagine what he is about to churn out. His electro-vocals are insane. He is a whirlwind on the stage, his dancemoves being influenced by Michael Jackson's exaggerated large steps and making the body look as angled as possible. With songs titled "Sex Party", "I know your panties so wet" and "Yin-Yang" there is no way you won't be moving that body.

I want to Burn Bridges

2010-03-10T10:43:00.005+01:00

There's so much baggage we carry around with us, isn't there
Doing things for others we don't really want to do
Being friends with people who are sp unneccessary - like who needs 452 facebook friends anyway?!?!?!?!! I want to delete about 96% of them - like they are "friends" anyway...

So M.Ward managed to wonderfully put my current life situation in a song:

He only sings when he's sad
But he's sad all the time, so he sings the whole night through
Yeah, he sings in the day-time, too

He only dreams when he's sad
And he's sad all the time, so he dreams the whole night through
Yeah, he dreams in the day-time, too

There may be  mermaids under the water
There may even be a man in the moon
But Vincent, time is running out
You better get yourself together soon

Out of Buffalo, the man
Below the belt, he swung, and then after the bell has rung
Another cheap shot, here it comes

Another cheap shot, here it comes

He only laughs when he's sad
And he's sad all the time, so he laughs the whole night through
Yeah, he laughs in the daytime, too

There may be  mermaids under the water
There may even be a man in the moon
But Vincent, time is running out
I hope you get yourself together soon

I hope you get yourself together soon

Also, I really want those shoes - so perfect for summer with their chunky heel and platform -comfort!!- and the nude straps. Where from????

Christian Louboutin for Phillip Lim Studded Booties.
I can see the Teen Vogue Team taking them out for lunch. In combination with a dress + belted vest or jacket (parka-eque perhaps). Or with a white shirt-dress...
Anyway, I love the golf-shoe inspired tassles. Perhaps they should consider producing these with a wedge heel, so they can be worn on thegrass for the super-fashiopn-golfers out there.... Definitely a market niche that needs to be exploited.

noun • a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.

The word is from the Yaghan language, and its morphological structure is as follows: mam- (reflexive/passive morph.) + -ihlapi- ‘to be at a loss as to what to do next’ + -n- (stative aspect affix) + -ata- (achievement affix) + -apai (dual, here reciprocal, marker). [via snee, Wikipedia]

So, I have to admit, I wasn't particularly blown by the NYFW shows this year. In fact, it was booooooooooooooring. Most designers seemed to have been lacking creativity. I love my black and fur and whatnot, but even there was barely any new and exciting cuts/ styles/ combinations.
So this will most probably be the last Fashion Week Shows post.

Some favourite looks:

VPL
I like the colours, draping and slouchiness of the dress. It's relaxed, but sexy and you can take it from day to night, which is always a plus in my books.

Temperley London
Perfect Silhouette. It's sharp, edgy, smart and elegant.
That's office attire, the way I like it!

Proenza Schouler
Favourite Goth Look!

Paris 68
Pink+silver+grey = summer. She looks like a modern nymph, that ditched the pretty flowy dress, for this much more bodycon (Balmain-esque) dress.
Tinkerbell 2010.

Mulberry
Discoball Skirt.
1000 stars in the sky.
Abundance of Fairylights.
<3

Jeremey Scott
Black dress with crosses.
Omnomnom.

Cushnie et Ochs
Now THAT is modern tailoring. Hello new decade.
Hello leather jacket in my wardobe.
Definitely the sexiest jacket out there.

Boy by Band of Outsiders
I just like the trousers and the way they are too big on her, and rolled up, and worn with skyscraper, open heels+socks.
Everything from the waist up I'm ignoring, because the shirt looks like it needs sleeves, a collar and ironing and the hair like it needs a wash. Badly.

3.1 Phillip Lim
1) LOVE the jumper sleeves + embroidery
2) Shape of the skirt is so sexy + flattering.
3) Black + Grey + Gold = WinWinWin.
4) Shoes with fringing+studding+socks. Yum.

So lets get back to business.

It is still swealtering hot in Milan, so I have been cooling off all afternoon drinking G&Ts.
Am now on a mission to find out the adresses for all the parties tonight, but the GQ one is most definitely going to win. Always epic, always a relly great surprise gig, and they never run out of drinks.

I absolutely love these. They don't actually seem to be fastened to the shoes, but that you can just strap them to any pair you like. I feel a potential DIY... Only question is which material to use for the strings, since cotton etc. is too soft, but it seems to be more delicate than rope or plastic tubes. It has to be something sort of heavy. Any ideas?

Introducing Iris Van Herpen

2009-06-09T20:42:00.004+02:00

autumn/winter 2009

Dutch designer Iris van Herpen has just launched her fourth collection
and it is mind-blowing. Her fascination for fabrics and structural challenges relishes complex one-off works of art that are impossible to duplicate.
She drew her inspiration for a/w 09 collection from the post humous labor of love by which the ancient Egyptians sent their nearest and dearest off to the beyond. Forsaking strips of linen in favor of intricate leather lacework, her garments carefully envelop the body like grandiose and elegant mummies.

"Wicked in Berlin"
Carmen Kass shot by Mario Testino for Germany publication Stern.
This story is so smoking hot - wonder how Stern came up with that idea. It's a political/economic magazine, so I don't quite see how this story fits in...

Comfort First

One of the Variations of my current uniform.
Studying brings out all clothes comfy.
Never look quite as cool though....Think a pair of ripped sweats should go on the list of items to acquire though - for future comfort.

Back To Where We Were Before

2009-06-03T00:27:00.002+02:00

Returned to Munich for my little brother's graduation and some family pampering. It was all very lovely apart from the biting cold I got greeted with. Even though I was told it would be chilly, I couldn't really relate to what that could possibly mean sitting in 35°C hot Milan. I figured "cold" meant "not sweating profusely". Instead it meant 13°C.
Raiding the winter inspiration folder brought these images to light, which were perfect inspiration for the weekend. If only I had brought any sort of winter clothes....

Images from inspiration folder, and probably the Sartorialist, tFs, Facehunter and possibly jak & jil. If I need to credit a site please let me know, cos I labelled all my pics poorly and really barely remember where I got them from

The first pair are a dream. Those Boots would make any outfit look fierce.
I'd take the bottom ones as an alternative for winter - plenty of strpping+bondage enducing fantasies by these, too, but keeping my little toes warm on those cold and rainy days.

This shot is from 2007, so I have no clue who the silver jacket is by, but it is messing with my mind. It reminds me of an outer-space, extremely stylish robot. It makes me want to be an outer-space extremely stylish robot.

I came across Nicola Formichetti´s blog, and think his styling is genius.
He most definitely is one of the best stylists out there in my books. Not only does he do some sick styling, but he works as an editor on several fashion magazines, as well as being a consultant for a number of leading fashion brands, working on their image, business strategy, marketing processes or simply styling the campaigns.

Creative director of DAZED & CONFUSED

Fashion director of VOGUE HOMMES JAPAN

Back to the Roots

2009-05-18T13:06:00.002+02:00

I think this summer I`m going back to dressing more hippy-esque again. I have been doing the grunge/rock look all winter, and I think I am up for a little more fun and colour in my closet.
Unfortunately most of my hippy clothes are in Germany. I guess that calls for a shopping trip here then!!

On the top of my list are
* white, long-bell-sleeved dress
* round sunglasses (like the ones Daria is wearing here)
* colourful headbands and scarfs (like the Peggy Lipton Scarf in the 1st pic)
* plenty of floral. Always. Classic. Love it.
* chains and rings to add to the collection

Tied Up

This editorial is so intriguing. There is so much to look at with all the knots, ropes, ties, the fashion and shoes (of course) and those really angular, strong poses. I could stare at it for hours.

MK wins again

2009-05-18T12:43:00.002+02:00

I really and truely want every single item she´s wearing here.
I know, I know, MKs style is always great and all, but once i´ve analyzed this outfit, I decided I really really want it all.
1) The Balenciaga Boots. Obviously. Have been wanting for years.
2) Those sick ass tights. They remind me of these

3) Beautiful Hat. REally greatly skulpted. I´m sure Lulu would agree.
4) The Bullet-Belt is really rad. Toughens up any outfit
5) That Shrug thing. The Material and weaving of it looks really interesting. Love stuff with holes.

Still love these. Clothes with awesome shapes and draping make my little heart beat faster.
