So the other day I watched an episode of the Daily Show and Seth Rogen was the guest. Personally, I love Rogen’s sense of humor, I loved Superbad and despite Katherine Heigl, I still enjoyed Knocked Up. So when he talked about his new movie, a comedy about cancer (?!), I was very intrigued.

50/50 were the chances of Will Reiser (Rogen’s friend and writer of the movie) surviving cancer. Unlike Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in the Bucket List, who “did a bunch of fun stuff and then died”, their experience was very different. Since Reiser, who is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, kept working and going out and dating, nothing really changed for him.  In the Daily Show Rogen says, there wasn’t a movie that felt like what he went through with one of his best friends, so he wanted to make one.

Check out the trailer. I’m excited for this to come out in Germany.

“Libertine” by Los Angeles based photographer Harper Smith is a photo series I found on the Ben Trovato Blog. A rural and very dreamy atmosphere plus gorgeous Amanda in a vintage military look. Find it here.

The Fashionology necklaces have been popping up on several popular fashion blogs for a while now  (e.g. Carolines Mode, Style Scrapbook). I think these unpolished treasures make any casual outfit a lot more interesting and unique. If your budget is limited like mine, check out fashionology.nl, they have fantastic stuff.

listen to…

the new colette podcast. It’s a tribute to the late DJ Mehdi. I saw him once, he played a set before a Justice concert a while back and I really enjoyed it – what a crazy genius with electronic sounds. R.I.P.

Consisting of french hip hop Mehdi liked to listen to and some of his finest tracks – a great mix you should check out.

I highly recommend the monthly colette podcast, so if you don’t know it yet, subscribe on iTunes, it’s worth it.

look #2

Luckily, summer decided to have a small comeback this week – summer in Cologne was a total let-down this year, so I’m thankful for every bit of warmth and light. Wardrobe-wise I left my sweater and trench in the closet and wore  a flowy button up shirt from stradivarius, red jeans from gina tricot, boots from dinsko and a bag from parfois. Since the red jeans are so loud, I usually prefer to numb the color down with a softer shade of red, brown or beige in form of a sweater. Looks great over the button up.

take a look at this: paul smith spring ’12

Loving everything about this collection. Masculinity and sophistication looking so wearable and comfortable. I especially like the loafers, the PJ pants and that smudged floral print.

WANT

I remember seeing this ad in nylon (august ’11):

How brilliant. Color-coated jeans – apparently they look and feel like leather. But they’re washable and PETA would approve.

After unsuccessfully searching the internet for someone who sells them, I gave up on this genius garment.. Until now: Zara sells them for a fraction of what the Habitual jeans cost. And this is what they look like:

Now I only have to choose a color.. I think I’m gonna go with burgundy.
