Smeilinener

There is nothing wrong with having a healthy aversion to black. In fact, I rather admire it. In a sea of sensible grey and Mischa Woeste of Smeilinener has chosen to stick to a playful sense of color and bold prints of stars, stripes and polka dots. It rather reminds me of the girl who [...]

Berlin Day 2

My feet are about to fall off. Stupidly I forgot to bring sensible shoes, and have been walking around Berlin for the last few days in 3″ heels. But other than that things have been excellent. Yesterday we saw Scherer González and M/by Kostas Murkadis. Between shows, we went to see Fenke (Tres Plus Cool) [...]

Berlin Day 1

Berlin has been a lot of fun, going to shows, meeting up with bloggers like Mahret (f&art), Mary (Pudri), Lisa (La Lila) and some designers that I have covered in the past like Pristine Smut. I even saw the Face Hunter, and walked up to him to introduce myself, but he was preoccupied. [...]

You Eccentric Bird

Dude, I so need new accessories. Looking through my little golden apple aka, my jewelry box, I’m noticing a big hole in my attire. Bobbles, shiny pretties, all that good stuff. Eclectic Eccentricty makes these quirky and pretty little costume pieces. Sculls and roses.

Afternoon off…

After the whole Brazil fiasco, I’ve decided to take the afternoon to go to a nearby village, Dreieichenhain for an ice cream to cheer me up. The last few days have been insane trying to get ready and frankly I’m just exhausted. Still though there is a lot of work to do, as I’m trying [...]

Mustache Envy

I’ve had a long, sick fascination with mustaches. It all began at the cinema with Gangs of New York, where I realized I was strangely attracted to Daniel Day Lewis. He’s a great actor, don’t get me wrong, I loved him in every movie, but attracted? No… and when I saw him being interviewed, all [...]

Actually, I’m not going to Brazil.

Sorry guys, I’m so sad about this. Everything happened so quickly, since I’ve never been to Brazil, or ever thought of traveling there in any amount of seriousness, I didn’t know US citizens need a visa to enter.
I will be going to Berlin earlier though, and that’s a good thing!

The Sunnies and Share Show…

One year, in my expensive sunglasses phase, I must have lost almost a grand in sunglasses. It’s inevitable that my sunglasses will get left in some dressing room, some restaurant, I’ll leave them in my handbag and they’ll get scratched, a screw will come loose… I’ll drop them on the street. I’ll sit on them, [...]

Roundabout

I’ve never thought sunglasses were just a ’summer’ thing… actually, I wear them all year around, mostly to battle the line that’s forming between my eyes. Perhaps even, like my grandmother, I’ll start to wear them indoors. Who knows? But the good thing about summer is the variety of new shades coming out, and [...]
