THE SPIRIT OF ISTANBUL FESTIVAL BERLIN 2013 WITH YENI RAKI

My weekend started with a little journey into a different culture - the orient to be exact. Yeni Raki brought a bit of Istanbul's flair, its magic and culture to Berlin. Turkish delight, culinary specialities, belly dancers, performances, dances and music.. all of it! The Arena Berlin turned into an oriental bazaar for one night. The Spirit of Istanbul Festival by Yeni Raki, raki is a Turkish alcoholic bevarage, open its doors to the world of the Turkish raki culture and left room for us to stroll around and discover more than 20 designers and dealers showcasing their designs and products, try some raki and take our tastebuds on an oriental ride.
I got lost for a bit into this world with my friends, shaking my hips with the colorful and beaded clothes. How I love belly dancing costumes, made me reminiscent of my days as a kid when I used to belly dance...

#TGIF! TIME FOR FASHIONABLY CLICQUOT

WATCH HUNGER STOP WITH MICHEAL KORS

In the month of October Michael Kors dedicated its energy to helping the poor, depraved and hungry in partnership with the United Nations WFP (World Food Programme) by not only designing a watch specially dedicated to this purpose whose entire profit was donated to the WFP (one watch = one hundred meals) but also by raising awareness through the power of social media. October 16th marked the World Food Day and Michael Kors called upon fashion lovers and shoppers to stop by their Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong and their two New York boutiques SoHo and Rockerfeller Center to slip into a T-Shirt and get their pictures snapped, displaying the images hashtagged #watchHungerStop on their billboards in NY Times Square.

Together with some friends I stopped by the Berlin Michael Kors Boutique at Rosenthaler Straße to get our pictures snapped, help create a buzz in our own social media channels and even ended up on NY's billboard trice.

As of today 2 140 300 meals have been delivered so far. You can read more about the campaign here and learn how to donate here.

GRAZIA LOVES LEVI'S: THE NEW LEVI'S REVEL JEANS

Last Thursday Ina and I headed to the Grazia x Levi's Shopping Night, which was a ladies-only event organised by Grazia as sort of an Meet&Greet between Grazia and readers, but the actual highlight of the night was the presentation of the new Levi's Revel Jeans, which I have to admit fit quite amazingly and make a really good ass. With drinks by Ciroc (SO GOOD!!) and finger food, we had the chance to shop all night with a 15% discount all accompanied by a DJ set. But what was more exciting was the fact that we had the chance to get styled by Grazia and complete the look with Make Up by Rituals and get snapped infront of the Levi's photo wall.

Ina and I took the opportunity for a styling session with the Grazia Team and with Mirjana we searched the store for nice outfits. After waiting for what seemed like forever (the store was packed!) but with drinks to get by, Ina and I made our way into the changing room and I finally got to slip the new Revel jeans over my legs. Kinda digging my all jeans look. Check out the pictures below.
Ina went for a festival look.

FOOT LOCKER SNEAKER MIX 2013

What happens when sneakers meet music and you add Foot Locker into the equation? That's right, you get a late night party with Stripers (=workers at Footlocker) dancing on the superdimensional deck, the world's first ever sneaker mixing deck (!), creating music with some sick beats, light shows and crazy visuals and an exclusive collection of sneakers that launched this spring/summer. Each pair of sneaker from the Foot Locker Sneaker Mix collection 2013, whether Converse Peelback, Nike Free Run +2 or Adidas Honey Hi as seen in the clip; they all come with a different sound, different visual and different beat that allows sneaker fans to create some cool mixes when interacting with the deck.

ADIDAS STYLE ROOM

"Unite all originals" is next year's big over all theme at Adidas and therefore Adidas is reviving some of their old historic classics as for example the ZX850 sneaker.
As for Adidas Originals in particular - next season in honour of the World Cup to be held in Brasil, Brasil itself has become an inspiration which is visible in the Adidas Originals collection in form of footballs printed all over pullovers or simply the color green and jungle prints as a reoccurring theme.
And what's happening at Adidas NEO? Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will be designing another collection for Adidas NEO next season. Already got my eyes set on Selena's bomber jacket with the sheer arms and floral details.
