Weekday: “Waiting for something new”
The new line “Collection” from Weekday. I like how clean and simple it looks. My personal favorite is the white hairy sweater.

LEAF advice
Geri Hirsch from Because I’m Addicted and stylist Monica Rose teamed up to show us the many different ways to wear a white shirt. Definitely some good ideas there..

My new American Apparel Skirt in action. I combined it with a chunky knit sweater from 3suisses (find it here), Weekday coat, H&M circle scarf, BikBok headband, Zara purse and finally a necklace from fashionology.

Cool Yule
Kind of surprised to see it is december already! As a result of global warming or whatever we’ve had virtually no rain this november, so I’m not really prepared for it to be winter just yet. Although I’d love for us to skip the rainy part and just get to the snowing already.
Anyway. December first means people are opening the first door of their Adventskalendar, one of my favorite German traditions. It’s on. Another great german tradition is Weihnachtsmarkt. A market where you can buy all sorts of things from trimmings for the christmas tree and festive decoration to roasted almonds and waffles. These markets are a great tourist attraction so I welcomed the oppurtunity to visit a more alternative market which was held at a local club called Gloria.
Here are some pictures of the wonderful stuff they had:
How adorable are the wrist watches? I didn’t buy anything that day, but the items from the photos are available here:
Sunglasses and T-Shirt: Chu – Brüsseler Str. 48
Awesome jacket and collars: Trinkhallen-Schickeria – Trimbornstr. 7 and here.
Brooches, pins and necklaces: Nice Nice Nice – here.

Bjørg Jewellery
Beautiful jewellery by norwegian designer Bjørg Nordli-Mathisen. Check out the promotional video by Matias Rygh and Mathias Eriksen and the 2012 lookbook. Dreamy and weird in a good way.

new in: AA White Chiffon Pleated Skirt
I was really lucky at the American Apparel warehouse sale which took place in Cologne this weekend. Today was the last day and I went this morning hoping there was still something left – and there was. The place was ginormous! 2.000 square meters filled with cotton spandex jersey bodysuits, nylon tricot high-waist zipper leggings, unisex organic cotton tees and many more items with complicated names.
In anticipation of huge chaos (à la London 2010) AA hired an army of trained security staff to control the masses and prevent a riot – which never came. They chose a location that is quite far from the city centre so when I got there this morning I was pretty much alone with 10 other people shopping and the staff. This was just great, I was able to take my time and stroll around. The chiffon skirt was hanging in the wrong section so by a brilliant mistake I was able to acquire this beauty for 6 euros plus a pair of burgundy-colored velvet leggings that were 60% off. In the end I was given a 20% voucher, a smoothie and pop corn. Was worth the trip.

yeah buddy.. Zara TRF
Zara just keeps getting better. Another delicious lookbook presenting gorgeous evening wear. It’s from the TRF collection, meaning it’s super cheap yay! My favorite is the white blazer, definitely on the wish list.
