CAMEL ON CAMEL ON CAMEL - GPD DAY 1

What's good squad?
I just wanted to share my look from the Press Days last week with you guys. I went for total camel look, somewhat looking like I was trying to challenge how much camel one can wear before looking like one. I don't know why but I really wanted to combine these culottes with the top, both new in my closet which I snagged of the sale at Mango.
After having kept my Rihanna x Puma creepers safely tucked in the farthest corner of my closet (talk about "I need these shoes so desperately in my closet else my world will stop!" .. oh the power of a hype *smh*), I finally brought them out months after the release party and staying up to midnight to buy them. I've been wearing them a lot lately. I kind of remembered why I got them in the first place and why I fell for the hype.
They are pretty amazing, don't you think?

THE MINT&BERRY FLOWER MARKET

Hey guys,

I had the most wonderful Sunday in a while. Would you believe me if I said it was magical? I visited the Mint&Berry Flower market with Tissi, Mali and my boy. Local florists, street food and workshops between a sea of beautiful flowers while you had the opportunity to shop the new Mint&Berry spring/summer collection, which btw has the sweetest summer floral dresses and pieces that scream "we need spring, summer and sun"!

ESCADA BALI

ESCADA x LENA GERCKE "BALI"

So in love with my new frames from Escada. The model is called Bali and it's a piece designed in collaboration with supermodel Lena Gercke. These shades are perfect for summer or the flurry of camera flashes by an angry paparazzi mob. Not that I need shades for the latter ;) 

I don't know why but they remind me of Hollywood and LA.. Strolls across Santa Monica Pier or Sunset BLVD, sun-kissed face and my Bali shades..
Summer can come.

Thank you Escada.

TIGER OF SWEDEN OPENING

The Tiger of Sweden party took place last week in honour of the new store that opened its doors at Neue Schönhauser Str., right in heart of Mitte.
The store is quite small, but well arranged and immediately inviting. (Kudos to the interior designer! This is merchandising done right!). I've known Tiger of Sweden for quite some time. I visited the Tiger of Sweden Opening party at Galerie Lafayette, one of my very first Fashion Week events ever. Nice to see that a few years later they now have a store of their own in Berlin.
Tiger of Sweden is a womenswear as well as menswear label - very classic, very elegant yet somehow very effortless. The new store however is solely for men.
The party itself seemed to be a success. Blogger-wise I was one of the very few invited (or spotted), next to Dustin, Nadine and the boys of Stylecaser. OMG finally met the cute boys in person and they are more beautiful than ever. (Ok I'm done crushing *.*)

BLACK AND CAPED

What's good people of the internet?
What's good my readers?
I just wanted to share a look with you before I head back burry my head in books. Study, study, study. One more final exam and then it's back to uni all over again.
What's happening in your lives? Hope you're all good.

Ps.: You might have noticed that I have absolutely no clue what to pen down in this post. So here I am ready to bore you with small talk. Whatever.. go look at my pics.

QUICK AND EASY BREAKFAST IDEA

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. I love brekafast, yet I hardly ever eat some. Although breakfast can be so much fun. And above all it can be easy and quick. Now my excuse for missing out on this meal is either I'm not hungry or I don't have time.
Even if you're not hungry you should never miss breakfast and having no time is the lamest excuse ever. As I said breakfast can be quick and easy.
The varieties are endless and it's the best way to start a day. Healthy, full, satisfied, happy.
Here is one quick breakfast idea I resort to in the mornings. Yoghurt and some fruits.

1. THE BASE

FLASHLIGHTS

Had to share these images I took with Mali for my christmas post. There were so many more beautiful images she took and they were in my tucked away in my flickr album, not seeing the light. It didn't sit right with me.

You might think, "..kinda already saw these during christmas and they pretty much all look the same." So click x on this post.
Otherwise, if you'd like to see the first photo set click here.

CHANEL BEAUTY LE VERNIS FORTISSIMO, LES OMBRES 238 Tissé Paris, LIGNE GRAPHIQUE DE CHANEL 60 Dream Blue

What's up my loves?
It's been a long time since I've done a beauty post and I've been feeling the need to revive this section. My first back to beauty post is dedicated to the one and only house of Chanel.

A FRONT ROW PERSPECTIVE ON DIMITRI

Almost my final runway report of this fashion season (one more special one to go!) is dedicated to the one and only Dimitri. I've been a huge fan of his shows ever since I started my blog and I may recall that all my Dimitri posts are mostly just pictures and hardly any to no text at all. That's because his collection speaks for itself and mostly leaves me somewhat speechless. When you can say it one word, why write an entire book i.e. post? Dimitri = amazing.

As for the day, Phillip and I nearly missed the show as we headed back from Marina Hoermanseder. It was nice to see Toni and Ruhama again and I sat next to them as we enjoyed the show.
It's the only show I didn't get Phillip to snap amazing runway pics for me. But it's the only show I have crazy good video material for my youtube video from.
I don't know, although these are iPhone pictures and some shots are super blurry and these pictures are exactly what I would never post on my blog, I feel like it has a very special touch to it. Very personal, very real, very close. A different kind of aesthetics.
Enjoy the show from my point of view, right of from the front row.
Good night peeps!
I'm off to study for my exams.

BERLIN FASHION WEEK - LOOK 4

What's up guys?
Just wanted to show you my final look for Fashion Week. I've got to be honest, I'm feeling completely demotivated penning this post. I do not know what words, what topic, what message, to choose to accompany this post. In fact I should just leave this text field empty. But it would be a mirror of the complete opposite of what's going on in my head.
Unclear. Unfocused. Uncontrolled.
Ironically this post seems unclear, unfocused, uncontrolled..

I think I've never been in such a confused state of mind. Emotionally, mentally.

Mein Leben steht am Rande des Umbruchs, wie der Cursor am Ende einer Zeile.

I'm listening to Xavier Naidoo's greatest hits right now (if you don't speak German - imagine the most sentimental life will go on, you're not alone, I love you more than words can describe - love and motivation songs wrapped in the most eloquent words one can imagine accompanied by the most beautiful harmonies and melodies..) Yeah that's me right now.. I'm also wearing sweatpants. King Karl would infamously say I've lost complete control of my life. I think he is right.

You probably just clicked this post because you're interested in what I'm wearing...

REBEKKA RUETZ RUNWAY BERLIN FASHION WEEK

I have a hate-love relationship with Rebekka Ruetz. One season I'm loving it and the next I'm not shipping it at all, the season after I'm applauding and then I'm dissappointed again. This season however I loved it. The material and print mixes, the big belts as details.. I got me kind of inspired.
But see for yourself!
Enjoy the runway pics shot by Phillip once again and edited by me as per usual..

THE HOTTEST MONTH

February marked the Hottest Month in every sneakerhead's calendar. The Hottest Month is a month full of daily releases at Foot Locker. From the hottest Nikes, to the Puma x Fenty release (daaaammmnnnn) to Adidas exclusives to Vans, it's mayhem!
Foot Locker allowed me to choose and style a pair and I went for the Vans metallics that are exclusive to Foot Locker. Now let me be completely honest with you. I chose them because my initial reaction was "ew what are thooose?!", immediately followed by a classic Barney Stinson like urge to make them work in a "Challenge accepted!" fashion.
Here is my result.
What are your thoughts?

KILIAN KERNER BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE

While everyone was waiting outside enjoying their welcome drinks whilst chitchatting, schmoozing and anticipating the show, Phillip and I got to sneak in backstage, but not just for hair and make up, we were kind of granted all access (thx Jona!!).
Phillip chose to stay backstage, watch and experience the show from behind the curtain as I sat inside the show eyeing each and every look. This post is different from my fashion week reports as Phillip shares an intimate angle on the Kilian Kerner show. I'll leave you with Phillips pictures only as I don't want to destroy the atmosphere of this post with typical runway pictures.
Phillip has been such a blessing this season, helping me with pictures and creating good content.
I'm loving these images very much. But see for yourself..

Huge thanks to Nicole Weber communications for allowing us backstage!
