In my list of current fashion favorites you can find a purse by Reed Krakoff who just recently won the CFDA award for best accessories, which he deserved.
I absolutely love the knot detail of the skirt, as seen in the new Theysken’s Theory resort collection.
As you can see I’m still very much into the whole idea of sporty chic as well as a sophisticated and fresh color palette.
So, I know there is nothing fashionable about football but that is what I’m going to be busy with tonight.
Germany vs. Portugal is always tough. I live in Germany but I always want Portugal to win, which usually doesn’t happen. I’m in Antwerp today so if Portugal loses at least there are no Germans around to mock me.
The guys at Proenza Schouler have delivered yet again. The resort ’13 collection is beautiful. A modest color scheme allows one to focus on the patterns and structures featured in these very pure pieces. The looks are super casual consisting of simplistic basics and no nonsense accessories and evoke this air of effortless chic that reminds me a lot of Columbine Smille – I can totally see her wearing the first look. I love everything about this look, from the shape and fabric of the coat to the gorgeous denim.
My favorites pieces from the collection are the white denim vest, the boxy coat and I find the heels to be very sexy. All in all a very wearable collection with versatile and timeless pieces.

In a little over a week, I will be back in Essen for a job at this year’s Modatex, a bridal fashion fair filled with some incredibly corny dresses. I did the same thing last year and after work I went to the local shopping mall which turned out to be surprisingly good. For some reason I don’t understand Monki decided to open their stores in only very few cities in Germany and one of them happens to be Essen. Anyway, so in anticipation of returning, I have made a list of my favorite Monki pieces. They have such great basics, which is what my wardrobe lacks the most, so I have to take advantage of my stay in Essen.
I am so into that simple oversized blazer and the platform sneakers..
Check out this very interesting interview with Marc Jacobs for Interview Magazine. I share his opinion on running and I have to get my hands on the book of the collaboration between Cindy Sherman and Jürgen Teller for Marc Jacobs..

Here’s the iconic cover he did for Interview dressed up as Andy Warhol.
So we’re back to cold weather. Be careful what you wish for, that’s what they say. I wanted it to get colder so I could wear my new leather jacket from I Don’t Like Mondays more often so.. there.
I’m wearing it with an oversized shirt from Weekday and some bling from a market in India as well as a pendant from Fashionology.
I would not mind swapping places with Elin. She’s got it all.
One of my big weaknesses is for TV shows. I watch a lot of them. I recently made a discovery of something absolutely brilliant. It’s a relatively new HBO show called Girls. It is centered around four twenty-something girls living their lives in New York. They are in this in-between time of their lives, having finished college but not having found themselves just yet.
It will make you think of Sex and the City because of all the sex and women issues but these girls are younger, therefore way more disoriented and they are very real. I know people who are like them and I can see myself in every one of the four characters.
There’s Hannah, the quirky, insecure and very intelligent aspiring writer (the actress playing Hannah, Lena Dunham, is actually the creator of the show). Marni, a beautiful, egocentric girl who doesn’t like to lose control. Jessa, the british hipster with no inhibitions and absolutely clueless about her future – I guess she’d like to do something artistic. Shoshanna knows all about Sex and the City, but still hasn’t had sex. She describes herself like this: “a carrie at heart, but sometimes Samantha comes out and at school I try to put on my Miranda hat”.
Intelligent, realistic comedy. A must! Watch here.
I admire Ivania Carpio from Love Aesthetics a lot for her personal style and well, I just had to share her amazing new hair color (“Lagoon Blue”).
Since she usually sticks to a color scheme of white, black and grey when it comes to her clothes, she can be experimental and colorful with her hair.
What do you guys think about pastel colored hair? Would you dye your hair? Or better leave it to Charlotte and Ivania..
I’m amazed with how much H&M has grown in quality the last few years and the upcoming fall collection is no disappointment. I’m glad we’ll see more peplums, leather, crystals and great patterns and structures. Very exciting jackets and accessories..
