IMPERFECT PERFECTION

GIVENCHY BOYS!

2012-01-26T22:23:00.004Z

Ricardo Tisci's childhood obsession: the American flag and the Minotaur. The outcome is an impeccable collection merging elegant clean-cut suits with luxury sportswear. Embellishments around the neckline and the nose rings sticking theirselves in everyones DIY minds.

YUKI & MIWA A/W 11 PRESSDAY

In the end of November I was a good girl and was invited to the YUKI & MIWA pressday. Today it's the end of January, I am a bad girl and trying to post about it. This shouldn't be happening this way but unfortunately it is. When we just got to the event with my friend from STIMULATE IT and switched on the camera it said "Please change battery" or for a blogger "DSKTERIHDSAFD AAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

After calming down about this misery we started taking photos with my phone but as lucky as I am a few days later my phone crashed and that was it. I then decided just to get one of the pieces I fell in love with and make an outfit post. You better don't want to know the story about this one either.
In the end I just decided to find the post of a fellow blogger and use her images for my post.

It was a lovely evening meeting the whole team of yuki and getting to know more about their brand identity. The unusual cuts and design are worth every penny & believe it or not you won't have to spend too many pennies :) Check out their items HERE and get yourself yuki-ed up! I will also let you know what I got for myself when I finally get to take some photos of my fluffy love!

RITA ORA - HEY YA

Just waiting for this beautiful singer Rita Ora to drop her album! You should check her out!

21

2012-01-19T21:56:00.001Z

Finally 21!

The last year has been a year for itself. Not mine. Not anyone's. Just a year for itself. Turning 21 for me means not getting older but just seeing the time passing quicker day by day. I want to make this time worth remembering. That's the only goal I have set for me. As you can see by the pictures the location of my birthday party was no other then CIRQUE DU SOIR again. Please do not judge me. I promise I will go to some other places soon (maybe). I just want to thank all my girls one more time for being there for me whenever I need them. The best present you can receive not just for your birthday but in life!

I'm currently working on my personal website where I will be showcasing my work as a stylist. Having registered my domain there I thought it might be good to have my domain for my blog too. Going through the 24h waiting phase to get it working at the moment. Bare with me! :)

SOULMATES

2012-01-11T23:12:00.003Z

When me and my curly angel :) used to live in Cambridge we both had dreams. Mine was to live in London asap and hers was to conquer New York. Manhatten right in front of her nose with all these beautiful lights at night and the skyline surrounded by blue sky during the day. She made her dream come true. The only problem by fulfilling it is her being thousands of miles away from me. I miss her.

CIRQUE DU SOIR

2012-01-10T18:43:00.002Z

You lot are probably already bored to death to see the same location all over again but yes Cirque is just the place to be. Mondays and Wednesdays are my personal favourite days. As you can see I have a little new obsession with my lips :) Loving to wear black means you have to either wear accessoires or have bold make-up. So here we go again! This time black+white checked pattern.

IRIS VAN HERPEN X UNITED NUDE

2012-01-06T12:44:00.003Z

Another collaboration of Iris Van Herpen & United Nude. In my opinion this time the approach looks much more organic then the times before and that's what IVH designs are usually about. We all know that the futuristic twist won't be missed out but isn't it a bit too much this time?

Finally I wore my bird outfit LOL I have been waiting for that day! Believe me there were many other shots where I have been pretending to fly (without any luck). Returning home is always a pleasure not only to be back together with my family and friends but also to find stuff that I left there. Found these Diesel boots which I had for about 5 years now and thought they would go well with the sweater. Here you go! I'm already back in London as my uni starts in a few days time. Kind of not ready for it.

London is unique. Coming from a small city in Germany with around 500 000 inhabitants obviously I can feel the difference between those cities in every single factor. Especially talking about the nightlife. Since Cirque du Soir opened in London it has been THE PLACE TO BE. Them miggits walking around , Clowns scaring you so you pee in your pants and them sexy all-over-tattoed dancers. Just something you have to see when you are here. Monday and Wednesday are defo them banging nights that you won't forget that quick.

Let me introduce my BLOGGER GANG to you

Gentiana from STIMULATE IT - Anna from PULCINELLA - Nikki from MAYBESURPRISED

The crew that has been rocking those nights in Cirque du Soir!

Oh and btw like my page on Facebook! Sometimes I update it more frequently then here!

Finally I got my hands on some Icognito sunglasses. Paired up with a sequin leopard jacket and my beloved disco pants from American Apparel. I think I'm lacking some words today. I'll make it up to you next time <3

HALLOWEEN '11

2011-11-03T22:45:00.004Z

I need to say our halloween evening was full of russian tradtitions. The most common of them all were probably the vodka shots. We have planned crazy outfits but as usual we all ran into tesco in the last 5 minutes before closure to buy some cheap face paint and put on some fake eyelashes to look at least as if we tried to dress up. Yes we are not the best organized team. DEAL WITH IT haha :)

After my trip to the states the color variety in my wardrobe changed completely. No more brightness in my mind. All I see is black. All I crave for is black. Having returned to London made me realize how much my surrounding influences my color choice and preference. Is it the same with you?

tried out some new colour balancing in photoshop. blue blue blue blue blue. on the first picture you can see my new (old) bag that I have bought on ebay. I couldn't resist the gold and silver zipper mix. I always had the problem that whichever colour the zip of my bag has I have to adapt to it and now I can wear both. yes I know I'm very complicated.

I'M DYING.

2011-10-19T20:22:00.002+01:00

I probably died 4 times when I saw those scarves (especially the orange version). & I will only come back to life if I find one like it.

UNSTOPPABLE

I always went against the flow and there isn't anything that could stop me.

VENICE BEACH

2011-10-12T22:17:00.005+01:00

Top: Birthday present :) - Shorts: Vintage - Bikini: River Island

VENICE BEACH this time for real. I think with me having lived in London for about 2 years has made me expect a lot from other "metropolitan" cities. L.A. can be as seen on TV but you really have to know the right people to get to know it in this way. Gone there without expectation was my advantage but really I just needed more of individualism which doesn't exist there. I haven't found any place that would inspire me just 1% as London can do in any second of any day. After having struggled to understand the mentality I gave up and wasn't hoping for anything until I finally arrived to Venice Beach. The moment I got off the car I was happy and fulfilled again. I could feel that this was the artistic centre and the place to be individual. It was just different and had a unique vibe to it. It won't come any close to London but at least I have found what I was looking for but only in the L.A. way of doing it :) One of the skaters fascinated me with his neck tattoo dedicating himself to this area and I believe I understood why. Definitely my favourite place of all.

MELROSE AVE

2011-10-10T21:08:00.002+01:00

Dress: All Saints - Shoes: Fashion District Market - Bikini: ASOS - Earrings: Fashion District Market

The perfect outfit for VENICE BEACH everyone will think now. We tried hard but the weather just didn't want to play our game, UNFORTUNATELY. I have to say that the temperature at the beach is always about 5 degrees lower then it is in downtown. So when we drove all the way there I became an ice cube and instead of beach I chose to go to Melrose Avenue, still in my outfit which was planned for the beach though haha :) I just thought never mind noone knows me! So on Melrose Ave I found my favourite vintage shop ever called Wasteland. Stocking designer and vintage clothing at the same time all I felt was me getting very close to heaven. I found 2 pieces which I fell for and hopefully will be able to show you soon. Melrose Ave has hundreds of tiny shops and is a MUST-HAVE-BEEN-THERE spot for me as it kind of reminded me of our little individual shops in London.
