Ph. Carolin S.

A song which is currently on my mind...
"I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care. But it's so cold and
I don't know where...And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright.
I'm just so tired to share my nights..." - TOM ODELL

BERLIN: Geisha Hair

2013-06-12T00:05:00.004+02:00

Ph. Benedikt Lehmann

Geisha - One of a class of professional women in Japan trained from girlhood in
conversation, dancing and singing in order to entertain professional or social gatherings of men.

Not quite me but I love to dance. I am actually doing it almost everyday, even if it's just at home in
my living room. There is nothing better than swinging your hips to some nice r'n'b music.
Although the philosophy behind a geisha isn't what I am standing for... I love me some geisha hair
style. Always did and always will. There is something so easy going but graceful and beautiful about it.

I was wearing a 86 rugby shirt combined with some printed pants and my beloved Dystopia
heels by Acne which seems like I will never get bored of. (VERY unique for me)

Ph. Sara P.

All I see is signs. Dollar signs.
It's no secret that I've fallen in love with dollar prints. Acne showed it on the runway last season and
we are bringing it to the streets. You have seen me wearing one of their shirts during New York Fashion Week. To be exact, I was wearing it for the DIESEL BLACK GOLD Show.
I can't get enough of it. Once I've spend a couple of hundred dollars on a "dollar shirt",
this time it was only a couple of dollars which is supa dupa for a change. High Street vs. High End.
There is no winner in this competition since I love both of my gems. What about you? xx

Ph. Sara P.

I am really into sports chic at the very moment. The key is to always add that special twist and to
make it look sexy and feminine although it's extremely comfy and casual.
It's very unfortunate that you can't see the jumpsuit but I promise that there will be another
look where I am going to show it in a proper way. It's raining cats and dogs since days.
You either make your way outside in order to get a wet hair look or you're banned to stay at home.

Berlin is full of surprises. Cool bars here, graffiti walls there and a waterfall here.
Although the weather wasn't perfect to hit the spot, it's definitely worth to visit.
Such a beautiful and magical place. Victoria Park in Kreuzberg.

I was wearing some printed PAIGE jeans combined with a pair of comfy bad ass Surface to Air shoes.

SPORTS CHIC -
Fashionable sports attire? Sportswear inspiration for fashion designers?
Whichever way you look at it, fashion plus sport equals a rich playground of visual imagery.
I've been a fan of it since many seasons and whenever I can pair some sexy shoes with a
sporty piece my heart is jumping. What about you?

Ph. Me

It took me quite a while to decide if I should rather invest in some Saint Laurent / Gucci strappy
sandals for summer 2013 or if I should stay grounded and go for a high street version.

High Street vs. High End.
Read a VERY interesting article about that specific topic by fellow blogger Sabrina/afterDRK.

BARCELONA: Top essentials for your Case

2013-05-16T00:30:00.003+02:00

Jet-setting abroad this Summer: Top essentials for your Case

Whether you've had a summer holiday booked for months or you're planning on snapping up a last minute bargain, the idea of an escape to warmer shores is always a welcome concept. After working hard all year, why shouldn't you and the brood enjoy a week or two in the summer sun, enjoying the sea and sand as well as each other's company?
While many people will be content with packing the same summer wardrobe as the one they used for their holiday last year, others will appreciate a splash of new fashion and quite rightly so. With plenty of casual clothing on offer from George at ASDA, you don't have to spend much to fill your suitcase with some new threads that will look simply fantastic.
Rather than packing everything apart from the kitchen sink this year, pack with the mindset that less is more. Chances are you won't need everything that you think you'll need and you don't want to be landed with an unnecessary excess baggage charge. Make a checklist for you to stick by, which should include these essential items.

Sun Hat – Not only does it help to shield your eyes from the glare of the sun, but it will also protect your head from the harmful rays. Channel the inner Daisy Duke with this superb large-brimmed cowboy hat for a bargain.

Sunglasses – I think it's not a bad idea to invest in designer sunnies rather than to purchase many
cheaper alternatives. I've never worn my no name sunnies that often as I am using my designer sunnies.
And even with a simple look, the sunnies will stand out and round up the look.

Maxi Dress – A perfect option for a summer dress. Light and airy, it will look perfect as you take strolls along golden sands. Team with a pair of gladiator sandals to look effortlessly glam.

Sandals – Talking about sandals, take at least one pair. Sandals can fit into the smallest of spaces in your suitcase so don't worry if you do want to take more than one pair. The George cross strap sandals are a bargain and will suit any outfit, while a trusty pair of flip flops would look fab poolside.

Evening wear – Take the opportunity to enjoy some quality time with your loved one on vacation and enjoy a date night or two. Pack some evening wear to look gorgeous after sundown as well as before, such as this Asymmetric Chiffon Dress or the sultry Moda Smudge Print Maxi Dress for swooping curves.

Swimwear – Fancy a dip in the pool? You'll need a costume, because you'll likely be asked to leave without one! Whether you choose an all-in-one swimsuit, bikini or tankini two-piece will depend on your individual style. Be sure to take a sarong too – they can often prove irreplaceable!

Of course, make sure you pack a good selection of casual clothing, such as shorts, vest tops and capped sleeve T's, and a jacket just in case it gets a little chilly during the evenings wouldn't go amiss.

Make the most of your time away and give yourself the opportunity to unwind and recharge your batteries. The sun, sea and sand should help!

Spending the most beautiful time in Barcelona. It's my second time over here.
And I am still utterly insane in love with the vibe of it. Dolce Vita to the fullest!
I am not going to lie, I didn't wear heels during the whole day. I switched for more comfortable
sandals after lunch. Nevertheless, these Alaia inspired heels are everything and more.
100 points goes to Zara, once again.

Next Stop - LAS VEGAS

2013-05-10T21:12:00.000+02:00

Ph. Sara P.

I actually haven't been to Las Vegas, yet. Something which is definitely on my TO DO list.
A place which is also a shopping district aside from being known as a casino place.

I came across a lady named Lacey Jones. She is a known model but is also known as the
Poker Barbie. Making your living by gambling while wearing the most beautiful garments every night
is an idea which sounds pretty corny and romantic in the same moment.
I am picturing a pretty lady, smoking a cigarette while sitting in front of the table, wearing an
Vintage Versace Couture dress and a god damn poker face. Sounds appealing but more for a movie
scene. Las Vegas, see you soon.

It's exactly one year that I am living in Berlin now. I can finally say "I AM A BERLINER"
since I feel like I arrived with all my heart and soul. I am truly enjoying every single day
in a city with so many contrasts and extremes. This city gave me the opportunity to work with
what I love the most. This city put the most inspiring and caring friends next to me.
This city is full of life and places to explore. The summer days and sunsets are as beautiful as
paintings. Dearest Berlin, this is my very first love letter to you... May there be more...

Supporting young and rising designers in an ongoing way - this is what Peek&Cloppenburg KG
Duesseldorf particularly wants to do. The aim is to provide young talents with a platform for their ideas
and designs. This is how the young talent award "Designer for Tomorrow" by Peek&Cloppenburg
came about, which P&C awards each year as the exclusive fashion retail partner of Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Week Berlin.
It was almost surreal to witness Stella McCartney herself, one of the most influential and outstanding designers of our times, only a couple of meters next to us. What a great night...!

4 Fashion Items you need to own

2013-04-27T14:33:00.002+02:00

Top 4 fashion items you need to own

We’ve all had moments when we look into our wardrobes despairingly and can’t find anything to wear, despite having piles of t-shirts and reams of hangers draped with clothes.

Many of us make the mistake of buying items on a whim without bearing in mind their wear ability, or how they slot into the rest of our wardrobe – which is why it’s so important to invest in staple pieces that you can wear time and again. With that in mind, here are four capsule wardrobe essentials that you need to own:

1. A little black jacket
A little black dress can certainly come in handy, but a little black jacket is a more versatile way to give yourself instant style. Team it with jeans, biker boots and a t-shirt for a grown-up grungy look. Tone down an evening dress a little by slinging it over the top, or add some instant office credibility to a casual dress for those unexpected meetings.

2. A statement necklace
Accessories can instantly change an outfit from ordinary to outstanding. Shoes and bags help, but there’s nothing like a big, statement necklace to really make a difference to your look. You can give even the simplest combination of jeans and top an edge with some bling, or a big splash of chunky coloured beads.

3. Knee-length boots

Whether you prefer heeled or flat, chunky or pointy, a pair of knee-length boots is a must. They go perfectly with skinny jeans, or skirts and tights, and can even look great with floaty summer dresses. They tend to make the legs look slimmer and add some sophistication to your outfit.

4. A bright, bold dress
You can blow away the cobwebs instantly with a bright, bold dress that will get people looking and talking. Big, block colours are perfect if you want to combine the dress with different accessories to create different looks. Red dresses make for an especially vibrant statement: check out these gorgeous red dresses at Very.co.uk for some inspiration.

BERLIN: German Press Days

2013-04-26T00:59:00.000+02:00

Ph. Me

Two weeks ago me and fellow blogger friend Nadine were invited to be a part of the Berlin Press Days which is organized for journalists, buyers and bloggers in order to visit the showrooms.

My first stop was the Nike Brunch, where we were spoiled with some delicious food, macaroons and
the latest Nike pieces. We made it through the stormy rain to Häberlein & Mason where we spotted
the Topshop Unique collection which I am a huge fan of.
Our next stop was the Bold Communications Agency where the very talented Monja draw a portrait of me. A new designer which I had to keep in mind is Bobby Kolade.

BERLIN: An idea from me...

2013-04-24T23:10:00.001+02:00

Ph. Kay T.

A question I get ask a lot is, "Is it ok for you that other people are copying the way you are
dressing... ?!"
Kay, who isn't only an incredible woman but also a close friend of mine, recently showed me a
quote which is one of the best I've heard in a while when it comes to that specific question.
Quoting these phrases is the best way to answer it...!

"Someone doesn't take anything from you when he copies the way you dress -
though he might seems weird if he does it every day...
Instead, as Thomas Jefferson said (and this is especially true when someone copies the way
someone dresses),
"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine;
as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me." "
