MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA x H&M

It feels like H&M is having cooperations after cooperations after cooperations. We barely had time to digest the Anna Dello Russo collection (which I really didn't like), news were already out that MMM was working on a collection with H&M.  After seeing the posters I was really excited to have a closer look at the collection and when I had the chance to come have a look first hand at the collection last week at the H&M Showroom I knew I wasn't going to miss out.



I'm mostly into the shoes for this collection. Although I have to admit I'm majorly crushing on the oversized coat that seems to be the collection's It piece and Must Have. I'm really into the big silhouette Maison Martin Margiela has created for this piece. But unfortunately it comes in only one size and with my 1 1/2 metres, I'm kidding I'm 159, I'm pretty lost in that coat. Sadly..
I like the way Maison Martin Margiela is reinventing silhouettes and shapes. And along with the blue silk dress my favourite piece are the disco pants. But I'd invest solely in the shoes with the plexiglass heels. Ah those are devine!

The collection hits the stores in less than 24 hours. Some of you wanna set your alarm clocks for tomorrow.
I've got my eyes set on the shoes. All the shoes. Those ankle boots with the plexiglass, the boots and even the heels. Even the Men's sneakers. With my newly acquired fortune it's dangerous.. I'm exposed to a high threat of "spend it all"-aholic
Very Dangerous!
I for one will be majorly avoiding H&M in the next couple of days in attempt to save for a new dslr camera. I'm so close! I cannot let a pair of Margiela's for H&M bring me down. Not even those with the beautiful wine red leather and the see-through plexiglass.
I can already picture myself singing "Easy come, easy go.." to my money as I stand at the cash register and let the cashier scan my credit card. I thank God that my Paypal account hasn't been verified yet. I would've turned into one broke ass nigga over night from the excess amount of online shopping I was doing at the Asos sale last night, which thankfully remained purely window shopping.

Good Night. I'll try not to dream about the Margiela x H&M shoes..

PS.:Wow I really sound like a chick straight from shopaholic when it's really not that bad. I'm simply enjoying using a stylistic device named "purple prose" i.e. putting drama where there's no drama. I'm so getting full marks on my next English creative writing paper! ;) Just kidding. I'm doing everything not to run into H&M first thing tomorrow. Maybe I should icebox my credit card?

PPS: Went to the showroom only with my iPhone, so check out my Showroom fun on Instagram!

WOLFI BY WOLFGANG JOOP

A little more than week ago I was invited to Galeria Kaufhof for a special occasion.
Wolfgang Joop presented his newly designed teddy bear for Steiff.
The presentation took place at the top floor of the Galeria Kaufhof and Wolfgang Joop was there himself to present the new teddy bear.
The flash light frenzy was a little overwhelming, but I managed to snap a few pictures with my iPhone which I published on my instagram. After that we were invited to the basement for drinks and finger food (so good!).
I decided to wear my H&M Trend dress, that I like so much. The skirt is made out of pillow like material and reminds me a bit of laying comfortably in bed with (or without) a teddybear tucked below my arm. So I thought "Great occasion to wear my teddy bear dress, going to teddy bear presentation.."
Thanks again to Galeria Kaufhof for the invitation. It was a really lovely friday afternoon.

FASHION SHOW ON THE RADIO

The title sounds a bit strange doesn't it? A fashion show? On the radio?
Not too long ago I traveled to Potsdam with Anh and Yuliya, because we had been invited by Media on Work. Marcel Ostertag (his shows always wow me at fashion week!) was going to present four looks of his latest collection on the Touching People's Hearts radio show as well as give an interview. And we had the chance to listen and see.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween guys!

Hope you are having a fun time dressing up (or dressing down as some of the girls do..?!?! yeah yeah "halloween is just an excuse for girls to get slutty" might be more than true for some chicks). I've seen so many fantastic and scary ass looks this week and my Facebook timeline has been blasting up with inspiration the last couple of hours.
My door bell has been ringing none stop with kids asking for sweets or threatening to throw eggs at our  front door. My family is never prepared for Halloween. The sweets we give out are probably at least a century old.. And honestly the kids that come ring our door bell have become less over the years. Wonder why?? Haha!



I celebrated Halloween on the weekend (most Halloween themed parties took place on the weekend) and I've got only iPhone snaps to show you. I had an amazing time with Nadine. It's been ages since I met up with her! So it was time to finally see each other again. And I'm happy we did. :)

But here's what was my inspiration for Halloween. I fell in love with Pixie Lott's look and knew immediately I was gonna go as a tiger! Raaawwwrrrr ;)



Ps.: Might get dressed up again just for you guys and re-snap my final Halloween look. Then I can give you details about my look and make up. But you'll have to wait to the weekend. I'm a little busy with school.. :(

PRESS DAYS

During the press days I had the chance to go visit the different agencies spread across Berlin and have a look at upcoming designs and pieces. From Pop phones (give me the gold one!!) to futuristic heels and bags at Hugo Boss, from cake pops in shape of shoes and clothes to amazing bags at MCM (new found love!), from falling deeper in love with Nikes and discovering the sneaker story to funky shoes at Jeremy Scott x Adidas, from Drykorn to We are Knitters DIY knits, from lovely necklaces at Anthropology to yummy cupcakes at Desigual and putting on a beard for a good cause called Movember, from amazing clothes at practically everywhere and falling in love with Karlotta Wilde.

WALD NO1 ISSUE RELEASE PARTY AND A QUICK STOP AT THE BAERCK

After a day of running around town for press days I decided to call it a day by enjoying the night chatting to friends over drinks at opening parties. I say parties because there were two. It was one of those beautiful nights in Berlin, one of those über-chilled ones, where you forget the stress and rush of the day and find a moment just to sit down and relax, and let the moment be. Somewhat carefree in a good way..
