Look #2

click the pictures to have a closer look

I think this outfit shows really well how you can wear your leather jacket without looking like a rockstar. If you dont't own a leather jacket already there are lots of possibilities. First of all you should decide if you want an authentic leather jacket or not. Authentic leather jackets are more expensive in general.

Leather Jacket:
Zara, 80€ http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-W2011/119502/387990/WINDJACKE%2BMIT%2BFELLKRAGEN
the authentic leather option:
Zara, 220€ http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-W2011/119502/387968/JACKE%2BMIT%2BREISSVERSCHLUSSEN%2BUND%2BFELLKRAGEN
Scarf:
Believe it or not: This is the most important item on this outfit and also the reason why this simple outfit looks that good. If you find a scarf that meshes your leather jacket you'll stand out.
Zara, 25€ http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-W2011/119512/387574/ROLLKRAGEN%2BMIT%2BKAROMUSTER

Shirt:
I guess everyone owns a simple white T-shirt. I always recommend V-necks.

Pants:
You will find lots of jeans at every Zara/ H&M store between 20 and 50€. Go for "slim fit" jeans if you're not a fatty. It's also important to go for a darker blue. It will match much better to your dark leather jacket.
Example that appeals to me: Zara, 50€ http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-W2011/119508/556514/JEANS%2BTAPERED%2BFIT

Shoes:
Go for any brown leather boots or shoes that mesh with your jacket's color.
Zara's advice, 90€ http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-W2011/118189/465085/STIEFEL%2BMIT%2BSCHNURSENKELN

Stay tuned to my blog. More looks coming up soon.

If u are not owning a jeans-colored shirt I can recommend these two options:
Zara, 40€ http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-W2011/119504/386230/DENIM%2BHEMD%2BMIT%2BDRUCKKNOPFEN

H&M is also well-assorted if you are looking for a cheap denim shirt.

Undershirt:
I guess everyone owns a simple white T-shirt.

Pants:
You will find lots of chinos at every Zara/ H&M store between 10 and 50€.
Example that appeals to me: Zara, 40€ http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-W2011/119506/388498/CHINO-HOSE%2BMIT%2BREISSVERSCHLUSS

Go for any brown leather boots or shoes that mesh with your belt's color. Same applies for your hat if u want to add one to this outfit.

Stay tuned to my blog. More looks coming up tomorrow.

New Bag!

2011-10-05T15:04:00.000-07:00

I just bought a new Belstaff bag for my studies.

It matches with nearly every brown shoes, belt and leather jacket and has the perfect size for one day at the university.

I took the pictures from "Rafael Store". If u want to order one i advise buying it on ebay.

Here is the wiki quote of Belstaff's history:

Founded in 1924 by Eli Belovitch and his son in law Harry Grosberg in Staffordshire, Belstaff produced all-weather jackets for motorcyclists, and was the first company to ever use waxed cotton. The company later created weather-protective jackets for other uses, goggles (primarily for the growing aviation market), gloves and several other garments intended to keep the wearer warm, dry and safe.

Belstaff became a subsidiary of James Halstead in 1948–a company also famous in later years for the success of the Australian brand Driza-Bone.

In the 1980s, Belstaff diversified into the golf wear market.

The company was hit hard by the textile crisis of the 1990s precipitating the closure of the Longton Stoke-on-Trent factory after previously closing its Silverdale site. Moving to Wellingborough, production was vastly reduced. The range was also manufactured in Australia by a sister company Driza-Bone. The company grew again and in 1994 introduced Belfresh, a waterproof/breathable fabric.

Today, Belstaff markets products to the Far East, Russia, the United States, Australia, South America and Europe.

Addition to my last post: Absence of iPhone 5 launch

2011-10-04T14:59:00.000-07:00

In the following lines i will summarize the innovations Apple made tonight.

First of all the highly anticipated iPhone 4 GS was unveiled.

Unfortunately the completely new iPhone 5 wasn't announced.

The chief executive assured his audience it is "the best iPhone yet". In my opinion the day was disappointing except for the announcement of revealing iOS 5 on the 12th of october.
The most impressive feature of the new iPhone 4 GS is the voice control application called Siri. The intelligent assistant is able to respond to voice commands and questions.

My conclusion:
Except for the voice control application Apple is basically doing what the competitors HTC and Samsung have done with their phones months before.

iPhone 4GS Release

2011-10-04T11:20:00.000-07:00

The iPhone 4GS was just released. The features are:

- Up to 2x faster CPU (Dual core processor)

- Up to 7x faster graphics (Dual core graphics)

- Battery duration increased

- 8 MP camera (Five element lens, 30% more sharpness)

Phil Shiller confessed that the iPhone 4GS can only draw level with the competitors like Samsung's Galaxy SII. I guess we still have to wait for the iPhone 5 release.

Defloration

2011-10-03T08:10:00.000-07:00

Today i make my debut in the world of blogging.

Instead of focussing on one big key issue I will blog about different things happening in my daily life.

First of all I am looking forward to tomorrow because the studies at my new university in Berlin will start. I also eagerly anticipate Apple's revealing of the new iPhone. More information will follow tomorrow definitely. In addition Tuesday is series day in Germany. The new series are uploaded between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning every week.

You can be glad reading about shopping options in Berlin tomorrow because I will start my first shopping tour then. My accomplishments will be posted in pictures.

So far.
