I very recently downloaded the app instagram, a platform for people to share photos. You can upload your snapshots and apply different filters. Of course it’s no platform for professional photographers, since there are mostly pictures taken with an iPhone, but it’s a good source of inspiration and similar to twitter you can follow people (a picture says more than a hundred words, right?). If you own an apple device you should download the app, it’s free!

in that case..
I went a little crazy when I recently went to Frankfurt to visit my cousin. Passing by the Apple Store I decided to go inside and buy the new iPhone. Ha!
Now that I own this lovely piece of technology I need proper safety measures. What they offer at Gravis and such did not please me at all but tonight I stumbled upon the most wonderful website which offers beautiful cases in a massive variety.
I narrowed it down to 6. Help me choose it’s too hard!

watch.. and click: StyleMint
StyleMint is an online shopping platform, that was launched by MK and Ashley Olsen this summer. They have really awesome promotional videos you should check out, just like this little interactive video / style quiz starring the Olsen twins.
I’m the “runway girl”, you?

the new polka dot
I always found polka dots to be childish. unless you’re a little girl or a japanese lolita, just stay away from them.
Now polka dots have entered a new era of chic. In the form of giant sequins or messy prints and in a sophisticated context they will look mature but still with a little wink, since we do not take ourselves too seriously.

new in
There seems to be a clear color code in my latest acquisitions, it’s great since everything goes well together. I have no idea where this new mellow mood came from, but I feel great in light beige, khaki and mint tones. But what I lack in extravagant colors, I make up in patterns and structure, mixing velvet, metallics, glitter and shiny fabrics. That way I can wear a monochromatic outfit, without it looking homogenous or plain.
The metallic satchel was a gift for my birthday, my sister ordered in on asos, the velvet top is from 3suisses, scarf from weekday (sooo cozy) and the nail polish is from Kiko.

Versace for H&M
The highly anticipated Best of Versace collection for H&M finally had it’s presentation, or shall I say spectacle, in New York and everyone was invited: Celebrities, fashionistas, bloggers – Uma Thurman, Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, as well as Elin Kling and Bryan Boy on the blogger side, just to name a few. I guess people who have the most influence on the potential costumer. Watching the video of the show I felt like the entire cast of Gossip Girl was sitting in the front row.
Honestly, I loved the trailer for the collection – but this is about clothes. There seems to have been a huge amount of effort put in to promoting a collection, which frankly does not knock me off my socks. Sure it’s glamourous, there’s a lot of bling and bold prints. Yet it seems dated and weirdly inconsistent.
The lookbook is good – the picture with the two blondes has a creepy vibe to it, which I like. Plus, there’s Abbey Lee Kershaw – who looks good in anything, let’s face it.
I’m very curious to see these clothes hanging on the racks of a crowded H&M – I think that will cost them their glamour factor. And how many people can pull off tropical prints and all-over studs? We shall wait and see.

madness part 1
November 11th is quite the important date here in Cologne, since it’s the start of the fifth season – carnival. It being the 11/11/11, this year is extra special.
I’m no huge fan of the traditional no-brainer-beerfest, but I don’t ever pass up a chance to dress up.
So, what to wear? Since this is only part one of the carnival madness, there’s no need to go overboard with the costume, something last-minute will do. There’s still plenty of time to get your costume for round two in february.
I’ll be pairing up with my dear friend – let’s just say we wanted to go as men – more is yet to come, I’ll try and upload something tomorrow.
Here’s some fashiony inspiration.. Still, I think one shouldn’t be afraid to go ugly.
