Clemence Poesy | Teal & Bordeaux

2010-11-12T23:42:00.001+01:00

She's French, she's gorgeous and she is called by the melodic name of Clemence - not much there is left to do wrong but on top with it all she's got a great sense of style. Her approach is never complicated or fussy instead her take on simplicity is always intriguing and effortless. Love this combinattion of teal & bordeaux which is one of my favs for autumn.

Just Stop For A Moment

2010-11-11T13:29:00.000+01:00

Im Moment jagt mich eine Prüfung nach der nächsten durch die Woche. Seit letzter Woche besteht mein Lebensmittelpunkt aus viel Kaffee trinken, wenig Essen, noch weniger Schlaf und dem Lernen für mein Studium mein Leben. Wie für viele von Euch auch hat mit Herbstbeginn auch mein Studium seinen Anfang genommen. Soweit so gut - ich will - ich muss- vor allem ich kann, das sind die treibenden Worte die ich mir vor Augen halte, wenn ich während Studium, Job und meiner Familie einfach an meine Grenzen gerate. Das Studium soll die schönste Zeit deines Lebens sein - so behauptet es zumindest die weit verbreitete Meinung unserer Gesellschaft. Der typische Student führt ein Studentenleben, welches nach Ansicht vieler Nicht-Studierenden ungefähr aussieht: Viele ausgelassene Parties feiern, unbeschwert in den Tag hinein schlafen und sich mit dem erschnorrten Geld der Eltern sein Lotterleben finanzieren. Dass die Realität eine ganz andere ist, wissen Meinungsforscher und Ethnologen seit Jahrzehnten und ich nun auch. Als Studierende in berufsbegleitender Form sowie Mutter zweiter Kinder weiß ich welche riesen Herausforderung es ist alles unter einem Hut zu bringen. Schlagwörter wie effizientes Zeitmanagement und Doppelbelastung sind für mich nicht nur karge Theorie, sondern Praxis. Doch jammern hilft nichts und es treibt mich vorallem auch nicht voran. Ich muss da durch, weil ich es will. Deswegen habe ich zwar auch genau wie viele anderen Menschen ganz viele Vorsätze, manchmal hilft es jedoch an genau einem Tag wie heute, einfach einmal etwas anderes zu tun und für einen Moment anzuhalten und das tun worauf man Lust hat. Wie sieht Euer Alltag aus?

I think when you put yourself in a position to say to people, “Look at me I’m going to tell you a story, I want your attention.” You have to give and do your best, to be at your best, and without working you can’t work there.

Oh how much I love this dress. In3gue from Intrigue Me Now managed the balancing act between taste-less style and taste-ful style. This skeleton dress from Asos is difficult to pull off without looking too exposed. Both thumbs up for her choice with the American Apparel nude dress and the over the dress boyfriend shirt.

Admittingly the cut-off jeans shorts are not revolutionary but effortlessly chic, casual and comfy. The basic shorts offer a multitude of ways to dress down or up. Recycling an old pair of jeans cutting them off or folding them over is a definite hot summer trend!

A Peace Treaty | Jewelry Collection

2010-06-17T16:17:00.003+02:00

“A Peace Treaty” as the name of a label sound very political yet for Farah Malik, a Pakistani Muslim, and Dana Arbib, a Libyan Jew, the design duo that makes up a brand, it is a personal pact and a statement of social responsibility.

Each season, Farah Malik and Dana Arbib travel to a particular region facing socio-political strife, and employs local village artisans to re-define an accessory, creating limited edition pieces in style-unique color ways.

For Summer 2010, accessories brand A PEACE TREATY drew inspiration from the Kuchi nomadic tribes of Afghanistan and Turkoman tribes of Central Asia. The collection, entitled SUNARI (“female goldsmith” in the Pashto language), features 24k gold-plated pieces.

Amulets and talismans in varying geometric shapes make an appearance in the form of pendants and earrings, as well as a selection of stackable and two-finger rings, highlighting A PEACE TREATY’s ability to create pieces that are of the moment, yet also representative of the authenticity of the aesthetic that inspired the collection.

This lends to a slightly rough and worn look, reminiscent of pieces found in the trunks of a jeweler in an ancient bazaar in the Persian Empire.

Launched over two years ago, Dana and Farah started A Peace Treaty when they realized a real lack of artisan-made accessories in the luxury fashion industry. Farah has been trained in ancient Roman goldsmithing in Rome while Dana Arbib is a product design specialist, in addition to being well-versed in antique bronze and brass finishes for interiors.

Their combined knowledge and appreciation of antique gold tribal jewelry is evidenced in this collection of chunky statement pieces, which are reminiscent of ancient civilizations.

With A Peace Treaty, Dana and Farah hope to elevate ethnic craftsmanship to the status of high-end boutique level goods, while creating employment opportunities for small businesses and families that had been out of work because of the political tensions and social unrest in their countries.

Each season, A PEACE TREATY chooses a handcrafting technique and designs a collection around it, by finding unemployed, but highly skilled artisans to partner with, to revive the traditional craft or technique.

Stella brings back another chic and smart collection with classic tailoring in blushy colours in contrast to whites and strong blues - I simply love every piece on this picture. The rosey colours are so flattering and refreshing while her blue line is breathtaking. Simply amazing!

Julia Restoin Roitfeld’s Today I’m Wearing…| Vogue Blog

2010-06-09T11:38:00.002+02:00

Vogue’s Today I’m Wearing gives us an insight of what style icons like Olivia Palermo, Daisy Love and for the month of June, Julia Restoin Roitfeld are wearing every day. For those of you who don’t know, Julia is the daughter of French Vogue’s editor and style icon Carine Roitfeld. The Parisian beauty certainly inherited her mother’s style genes. “My mum told me always to wear heels,” her daughter, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, admits, as she curls her biker-boot-shod feet a little further behind her. “If I’m not wearing heels, she says, ‘What? You’re in flats?’ So whenever I see her, I make sure I have heels with me.”

Julia has the sweetness of the girl-next-door and whatever she’s wearing it’s never overloaded nor does it seem as she’s trying too hard. Some of her outfit picks are very basic and she definitely loves wearing a lot of black but it never looks boring or simple. Personally I think her face and smile are her biggest assets.

Have you ever been on a vintage hunt? The summer time is the best time to go out and check your local fleamarkets for hidden treasures. You can find nostalgic items from the past like a unique piece of furniture or a vintage art piece and mix them together with your modern living design. My today’s plan is to head out to a local fleamarket to find some vintage beauties.
This is one of my favourite ebay stores called “thrifted”, they sell amazing 80’s clothing, leaving me behind with the wish to just make a bid on all of these outfits, hmmmm. You can visit their store here.

Alexander Wang Resort 2011 | New Collection

2010-06-04T21:01:00.001+02:00

The organic food trend has been on our radar for at least a decade. The past years it has pushed itself convincingly in peoples minds and these days it’s not just simply about organic food but mainly about an increased awareness of what’s good for yourself and the planet. Today’s consumer are questioning whether they should be taking a more natural or even organic approach to the products they consume. So it comes only as a logical continuation of extending this trend towards all parts of our lives, such as clothing. Fashion designers and labels can’t afford not to be in tune with customer’s demands. Buzz words like Eco (friendly) clothing and green fashion have had a major impact of today’s clothing industry and our society. No longer is the so called niche market one as such but it’s going mainstream.

Last week fashion wunderkind Alexander Wang fed the fashion hungry with his Resort 2011 collection and he named his main direction a new exploration of “organic ” “not so urban”. His key pieces were assymetricaly pleated shorts and skirts in hues of earth colours wrapped in chunky hand-knitted sweaters and burgundy jacktets reminding me of the colour pattern of a weekend in the country during late fall. I spy a trend!

June just started and outside it’s cold and raíning cats and dogs adn on top of it I caught the flu and was in bed the past days. By saying that and looking at this great shot by Vanessa Jackman during Australian Fashion Week I wish nothing else but get on the next plane somewhere I can feel the suny rays shining on my skin.

I remember exactly when I met Laura in the middle of nowhere in Bucharest, I didn’t really hunt for street style people because this area is really industrial you wouldn’t think people here put a lot of thoughts on fashion as it’s more about day to day survival. But I was proven wrong and when Laura came my way with her boyfriend, both looked very in style together. I asked them for some pictures. Unfortunately her boyfriend didn’t want to be on the pictures. Laura’s all black outfit looks so basic but not simple. It’s a truely chic outfit without any overload.

Genau das hat die Kreateurin dieser Chanel Paperbag mit viel Selbstironie und Humor umgesetzt. Damit erreicht der ökologisch bewußte Trend “Eco(-friendly) Chic” eine ganz neue Dimension!

Die konsequente Reduzierung von Dekoration und den Einsatz von Weiß macht das Park Concept Store im kreativen Bezirk Neubau zu einem visuellen Erlebnis auf zwei Ebenen.

Das vom Architekturbüro Space+ entworfene Concept Store ist seit der Eröffnung 2004 ein Modetempel für Liebhaber internationaler Designermode mit Fokus auf Avantgarde. Auf fast 500m² findet man High-Fashion Labels wie ANN DEMEULEMEESTER, MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA oder HAIDER ACKERMANN gepaart mit erschwinglicher High-End Streetwear von ACNE JEANS und Surface to Air. Hier wird auch Mode made in Austria, vertreten durch heimische Labels wie etwa Awareness & Conscious oder Pelican Avenue präsentiert. Und wie es sich für ein Concept Store gehört wird neben Kleidung auch noch allerhand zum Thema Design, Kunst und Mode angeboten: Modemagazine, Lieblingsbücher der Shop-Unternehmer, preisgekrönte Designer Möbelstücke, sowie exklusive Pflegeprodukte – eben ein alles was das edle Modeherz begehrt.

Wer sich den Weg zum Store ersparen, will kann im Online Shop einen Klick wagen und sich die edlen Stücke ansehen. Besonders empfehlenswert sind die zusammengestellten Outfits, die haben es mir sowas von angetan. Am liebsten würde ich wie wild herumklicken und darauf los bestellen, wenn ….das wenn wenn nicht wär…

Everytime I pass by this shop it puts me in a jolly mood, their models and pictures have a very positive vibe – it’s all very hippy-esque and about enjoying your life and living in balance with yourself and planet. They have done a great job conveying that spirit.

Corina Vladescu | Designer Spotlight

2010-04-15T01:30:00.000+02:00

At the age of 27 and having created her signature brand “Corina Vladescu” the young designer has realised to do what she loves most – creating ingeniously cut clothes with a feminine and sophisticated but still edgy groove. After graduating from the University of Fine Arts and Design in Bucharest with a master degree in Fashion and her diploma collection entirely bought we can call Corina Vladescu the most talented Romanian designer of the moment.

During her study years she worked from being a freelance designer to making a reputation as a stylist for national Romanian tv and famous fashion magazines such as Elle, Glamour and Comsopolitan amongst many others.

After launching two pret-a-porter womenswear collections in 2008, she was assigned to making costumes for the National Opera of Bucharest. Her undisputed talent lead her to become Madonna’s personal fashion assistent.

Since the launch of her signature brand in 2008 Corina Vladescu has been invited to present her label at the Oxford Fashion Week amongst designers like the unforgettable Alexander McQueen and Marithe et Francois Girbaud. Corina Vladescu was the only Romanian fashion designer invited to exhibit her SS 2010 collection at Who’s next Salon de Pret-a-Porter in Paris. Her collection was spotted by Topshop Edit. While participating at Who’s Next salon her collection was selected for Rendez-Vous Paris Femmes. The showcase is opened during Paris Fashion week, housing designers and brands who are at the forefront of nowadays fashion.

Her most recent show was during the Athens Fashion Week in March 2010 where she presented her F/W 2010/2011 collection which earned her great acclaim from media and fashion critics. Watch the video

While her personal webpage is currently under construction you can find out more about her on her blog, become a fan on facebook or get connected with her on twitter.

I instantly fell in love with her designs both of her previous and current collections. Her latest designs struck me with a softer signature and less rock attitude. The F/W 2010/2011 collection’s basic colours are grey, soft nudes from pale to light pink, black and white. Corina Vladescu doesn’t fail to create deconstructed pieces with a strong focus on pleated details or pleasingly unexpected ruffles which define her new simplicity. Corina Vladescu might still be considered as a designer newcomer but I’m sure we will be seeing her collections worn from Paris to London.

THIS FILM IS A LEGEND!

Inspiring photographic footage of an unfinished masterpiece. Romy Looks ever so mysteriously beautiful.

DIESER FILM IST EINE LEGENDE!

Inspirierende Ausschnitte eines Meisterwerks. Romy wirkt einmal mehr geheimnisvoll schön!

Im Jahr 1964 startet Henri-Georges Clouzot (1907-1977) sein wohl ehrgeizigstes Projekt: L’ Enfer (die Hölle)mit der damals 26-jährigen Romy Schneider und Serge Reggiani in den Hauptrollen. Doch die Dreharbeiten des Films standen von Anfang an unter keinem guten Stern und scheiterten schließlich komplett. Seitdem galten die rund 15 Stunden Material aus 183 Filmbüchsen als verschollen. Nun haben die Filmhistoriker Serge Bromberg und Ruxandra Medrea die lange Jahre verborgenen Filmspulen aufgespürt und das Material zu einem spannenden Dokument montiert. Es erzählt die Geschichte des einzigartigen Films und seiner albtraumartigen Dreharbeiten, im Verlauf derer Clouzot einen Herzinfarkt erlitt.

Pour La Victoire | Handbag Launch | Sneak Peek

2010-03-31T23:33:00.001+02:00

I’m so dangerously in love with the debut of Pour La Victoire’s handbag collection. Although the collection will not hit the stores until July this year we get the chance to get a little sneak peek! I find this collection to be truely exciting which leads me to sersiously starting to ponder which one of the many I couldn’t live without. The collection has a strong rock chic appeal not just in style, each bag is named after a legendary rock star, like Mike Jagger, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Iggy Pop and Janis Joplin etc.

As for me this collection rounds up all the assets I am looking for in a bag for my daily use – strong crafted leather with a touch of vintage appeal, a big dose of coolness added with studs and let’s not forget the overall most important the great over the shoulder strap allowing us urban girls to have all hands free while we do our thing downtown.

On the other hand Zara obviously continues to introduce to it’s S/S 2010 collection to pieces in the style of Balmain. I do like the jackets though not a big fan of the t-shirts with holes – for any of you who are looking to give your outfit a bit of airing during the hot season – with a bit of DIY you can add a bit of unique touch of your own.

Ruby Aldridge | Model of the Moment

2010-03-28T01:04:00.002+01:00

I have some news that I would like to share with you. Recently the coolest magazine in Vienna, BIBER, asked me to start writing on their fashion blog which to I was incredibly thrilled to start doing. BIBER is a Austrian monthly magazine with a focus on youth culture, politics and topics for young people with migration background. My posts there are entirely in Germnan but as with here I will include many pictures with my posts. Head on over and check it out here, I already begun with a couple of posts.

At the moment I am really fascinated with Ruby Aldridge’s beauty and the way she plays with the camera. She seems to enjoy her time and parties like a pro ;-)

Frühlingserwachen | The Awakening of Spring

2010-03-20T01:52:00.001+01:00

Es gibt wohl keine Zeit des Jahres auf die ich mich so sehr freue wie den Frühling – endlich alle Lagen wie eine Zwiebel Schichte für Schichte ablegen. Die ersten Sonnenstrahlen lassen auch die letzten Skeptiker aus Ihrer Winterlethargie erwachen und zu devoten Sonnenanbetern mutieren.

Und sehr bald nachdem die Temperaturen binnen einiger Tage raufpurzeln, fängt auch schon mein modisches Gewissen mir ins Ohr zu flüstern, dass es doch jetzt langsam Zeit wäre auf einen modischen Raubzug zu gehen, um diese willkommenste aller Jahreszeiten gebührend zu ehren.

Tja und genau hier fängt mein Dilemma an. Der ganz normale Shoppingwahnsinn feiert nach seinem hibernalen Schlaf sein Comeback und tanzt einen ganz frivolen Reigen in meinem Kopf.

So in diesem Sinne melde mich mit meinem ersten Posting im heurigen Jahr wieder zurück und möchte Euch noch nicht all zu viel verraten, außer dass es demnächst wieder viel Neues geben wird.

Ich möchte Euch lieben und treuen Lesern danken, dass Ihr immer wieder vorbei geschaut habt, obwohl ich so lange abwesend war. Ich werde das schleunigst ändern ;-)

Genug der vielen Worte, ich lass Euch mal gucken, was es Neues in meinem Etsy Shop gibt. Für Euch Vintage Liebhaber habe ich wieder ein paar ganz feine Sachen zusammen gestellt. Ich sag nur die Achtziger sind gekommen um zu bleiben!

Ich freue mich auf Euer Feedback, Tips und Vorschläge!

English translation:

There is hardly any other time of the year I am looking forward to as much as the beginning of spring – finally we can peel out of our layers and put on lighter and more airy clothes. The first rays of the sun leave even the most hardened of sceptics behind to prove that they were wrong and effortlessly turns them into devoted sun worshippers.

Only a couple of days after the temperature starts to rise my inner demons start whispering that it’s time for a fashion raid, just to celebrate this most welcomed time of the year as it deserves.

And here is where my dilemma starts. The shopping fever comes back in full force after its winter absence and performs a merry jig in my head.

Having said that, I would like to return to my first post of this year. I don’t want to give away too much right now, other than there will be lots to come in the coming months.

I would like to thank you my lovely and faithful readers for coming back to my blog even during this short period of inactivity.

Anyway, enough for now, I will let you see for yourself the new items I have available in my Etsy Shop. For you lovers of vintage fashion I have discovered some truly unique items. All I’ll say is that the eighties are back and here to stay!

I look forward to your feedback, tips and suggestions.

Yes, you can send your pre-order for Balmain’s new spring/summer collection at Luisa via Roma if you feel like spending an insane amount of € 43,000 for the crocodile jacket. In case you count to the majority of mere mortals and this jacket would actually drive you to ruin, use these picks as inspirations and DIY ideas.

Makes me daydream about summer and a lovely and relaxing picnic in park. Those days are still far off while it’s snowing and freezing over here. I’m not a big fan of this crappy weather. The only thing that makes winter here enjoyable are the hot loads of punch stands at every corner of the street. I love some good hot orange-cinnamon punch with a shot of rum, well make it two mixed with red wine. The best result is when the hot drink warms you up and you don’t feel the cold anymore. So therefore I wouldn’t want to miss those cold winter months.

Nude and Grey Tones | Winter Look of the Day

2009-12-16T23:45:00.001+01:00

These days with winter knocking on our doors and temperature dropping below zero, looking fashionable can be a bit challenging. One way to beat the cold weather is to nestle up in lots and lots of layers of which you need to combine carefully as you might end up looking like a woolly sheep. In contrast to the dark colours surrounding us through the winter months shades of nudes and greys are a welcoming alternation. Layering up pieces in the same hue or wear a few different tones create a classy, alluring yet modern and clean look. I’m so in love with these soft colours!

Anna Dello Russo | Wardrobe Check

2009-12-14T18:03:00.001+01:00

The only thing I really dislike about travelling is that I need to organise my suitcase and put together a decent selection of clothes together that a) match together and b) are adequate to my destinations' weather situation. So there I am ending up spending what appears to me an endless amount of time with sorting out my travelling wardrobe. It just doesn’t get any better. If I could I would end up packing together my entire closet…but then we know that this doesn’t necessarily make things easier for me. So when reading that fashion director and creative consultant Anna Dello Russo packs up trunks of outfits for the fashion weeks, I’m relieved that a) I’m not her and b) I’m not her personal assistant.

“…for fashion shows, I remember that I used to need 30 outfits. Today, for the fashion weeks in New York, Milan, and Paris. I have to bring at least 90 outfits." [grazia, fashionologie]

Isabel Marant | Otway Studded Ankle Boots

2009-12-13T18:12:00.001+01:00

No wonder those booties are sold out everywhere, I love the studs, the heel and the belt around the ankle. They just look so chic and wild at the same time. Though needless to say even if they were still available I’d have to look out for a cheaper version at Zara as they were apparently tagged for $ 1470. For all of you who are desperate to have the real ones, guess where you can find them? Right there are currently on sale on ebay, just click here

Little addition to yesterdays post, I just stumbled upon this pair of the Isabel Marant’s lookalikes. They are available at freepeople and most importantly they come budget friendly at € 120.

Alexander Wang | Spring / Summer 2010 | New York Fashion Week

2009-09-14T16:45:00.001+02:00

I know there has been quite a bit of harsh critics going around the fashion scene over Alexander Wang’s latest show for Spring/Summer 2010 during New York Fashion Week. My first reaction when I saw the line is that it appears a little monotonous and doesn’t bring the expected powerful Wang-vibe which were appointed at Wang’s previous collections. Wang cited "It's all about American heritage, classic looks, classic sportswear, all the things you do at school like football, sports and all those outdoor things like going camping." However the whole All-American sports enthusiast-cultured inspiration was the basic idea behind his collection but it wouldn’t be Wang hadn’t he not added an obvious naughty edge to his collection. All this is part of a witty take on American sports culture and moved the concept of sportswear into a whole new level. I am totally in love with the leopard-themed mules and those striped-zipper lace-up booties.

Whew, what a fabulous and inspiring combination. I am totally thrilled by this jacket and if it’s available I would buy it right away. I found these spot-on trendy styling images on Betty’s blog – one of my favourite fashion blogs. I need to check out Bebe’s online store and raid it for this royal blue treasure. I’m avoiding to estimate the price, let me foolishly believe its affordable…
