PUMA THE CREEPER BY RIHANNA FENTY RELEASE + PUMA MITTE STORE LAUNCH

puma creeper rihanna 
Last night I attended the Puma preview party and latest sneaker release of Puma by Rihanna The Creeper. Great music, the best drinks I've had at an event so far (hell yeah blinking mug Absolut cocktails!) and a good crowd. You know, I love the sneaker scene and their parties. The people are the realest. And yes finally a party they don't play crappy electro beats, but some good old hip hop. The new store located directly at Hackescher Markt looks good and it's spacious spread across two floors. I enjoyed my evening with my main squeeze Joeva and met Sara Joleen and Nhi who happen to be the cutest!
Not only were we celebrating the opening of the new Puma Mitte store, but also the first and early glimpse of the new Puma by Rihanna creeper. And judging by the crazy amount of likes I got on my picture on Instagram yesterday, I think it's safe to say, these babies have caused a major hype.

I of course immediately alerted you on Snapchat as the shoes went live on puma.com and of course you were able to be with me at the party right as it was happening. (my SC handle: loisopoku - yes, you are welcome ;) )

LEVIS 700 LOT GALLERY

Levis 700 los Gallery lisforlois
When it comes to jeans Levis is a classic, iconic. A brand you immediately associate with the word 'jeans'. Levis organized a little gallery opening celebrating their 700 jeans line in forms of works of art. All shot by a gifted photographer Stephanie Pfaender. Curated by girls like me - fashion bloggers/influencers. I was lucky to be part of the evening in my Levis 710 and get a glimpse of the photography admits the artists themselves.

It was then I met one of my favorite bloggers I've been following ever since I discovered the bloggersphere: Sabrina of afterDRK. Struck and completely in awe I forgot to ask Sabrina for a selfie, you know as a little memory to keep. But I'll keep the moment as a memory forever.

H&M X BALMAIN PRE-LAUNCH PARTY

hm balmain pre launch party lisforlois
Hey guys!

Here are the pictures from the H&M x Balmain Pre-Launch party. The clohtes themselves were gone before I could get there as I came late thanks to work. Word on the street was that the clothes were gone within the first 15minutes, long before the entire guests were even admitted. So attending a H&M pre-launch party does not necessarily come with a relaxed shopping experience.

However I really loved the collection and it is by far my favorite designer collaboration H&M has ever done. Balmain itself has gotten a lot of attention in the last year so the hype around the collection was immense, and that even long before the launch. H&M shops were literally raided the next day on the official launch and I think it even was the fastest selling collection to date.

Did you manage to get a few pieces from the collection? Were you planning on?

EMU AUSTRALIA CUSTOMIZE LAB EVENT

emu australia event lisforlois
Hi my lovely people,

On Friday I stopped by the Görtz store on Ku'damm after EMU Australia invited my to come by and customize my own pair of EMU boots. September has passed, October is here and slowly, but gradually autumn has arrived. The temperature is dropping like the leaves.
But Berlin has been blessed with that September Sun the last couple of days.
I'm ready to change my flats for booties and throw over thick knits instead of light cardigans.
In the customization lab I choose the classic light brown boots. With the buttons on the side I can easily fold over my new boots.
We were able to choose from crazy designs and patterns, snowflakes and typography.
But I choose to keep it simple, very simple. A mere L.O. gracing the outer side of my right boot. My initials. With my new boots I'm ready for fall.
Thank You EMU Australia.

ONE OF THOSE SUMMER DAYS.. AND MEMORIES

Umami Berlin Opening Lois Opoku Louisa Rachor lisforlois
I was going through pictures on my external drive, my laptop and flickr account. I found so many unpublished pictures and stories, so many finished and barely started scraps of what were supposed to be blog posts for you. Stories, reminders, memories for me. A journal and account of my life for us.
So much has gone lost, stuck in internet limbo because I never finished typing my thoughts, or unready to hit the publish button.

Among those I found these pictures. I still remember that day vividly. It was the opening of Umami Berlin, tucked in side street behind SoHo House. (Dikjubi had successfully opened his little restaurant - Umami. It's really good!) The taste of his mini burgers and the conversations we had. How especially pretty I thought Louisa looked, the sound of Lisa's laugh in the middle of a conversation and the exact temperature of that day on my skin.
