THE SHOE PROJECT | Pair Numero V

2012-01-31T14:19:00.002+01:00

NUMERO CINCO. Hello Kitty Vans

my ~~fixation~~ addiction to Hello Kitty has a long history that goes all the way back to my childhood.
this cute little kitty has been popular in Asia for as long as i remember and it kinda
reminds me of home.
so no wonder when i see that my favorite cat is on a pair of sneakers that i always wanted to buy appears, i didn´t need a second to think if i needed it or not.
I JUST DID.

here are some of my favorite items which i recently bought.
you would think i am crazy if i show you all the things i´ve been collecting since i was young.

CHEERS TO THE FRIGGIN WEEKEND.

2012-01-30T11:57:00.004+01:00

1. Sophia, Ilanka, Cindy & Moi taken by Oliver | 2. MAC makeup woot | 3. SNEAK PEEK of the two outfits we styled | 4. the horse that save my life (haha) | 5. Maggie, Cindy and me kidding around | 6. my bed with a cutie welcome gift | 7. fresh fruits for breakfast | 8. breakfast with the best company ever | 9. Ilanka & Cindy working hard for the ~~money~~ blog :) | 10. SHOPPING TIME!

so where do i start? :)
the weekend was too amazing for words.
it was 2 days of good food, great clothes, BEST people, awesome party and even greater hangover. OOPS.
my WHATSTREND team (Cindy, Sara, Ilanka, Ivelina, Christian & Sophia) and my lovely german blogger/ friends (Dustin, Josi, Oliver, Maggie and Tim) surely had the time of our lives.

HERE´S A BIG SHOUTOUT TO RUTA & the whole NEW YORKER TEAM for making this event happen. YOU ROCK MY SOCKS OFF EVERYTIME!

BRICK WALL.

2012-01-29T11:59:00.003+01:00

shirt: COS * skinny jeans: NEW YORKER * coat & shoes: ISABEL MARANT * bag: ALEXANDER WANG * watch: MICHAEL KORS

so it has been quiet around here over the weekend.
i went to Braunschweig to take part in the New Yorker Blogger Workshop with my Whatstrend girls and other lovely german bloggers!
a diary of the wonderful two days will follow shortly.
so many nice memories and pictures to share with you!
the outfit is quite simple but perfect for a 6 hour train ride back home + HUGE hangover from the afterparty the night before. OOPS.

these pictures were taken by the lovely Josi and edited by me.

NAVAJO.

2012-01-25T13:41:00.003+01:00

neoprene top, navajo pants & pumps: ZARA * brenda chain bag: ALEXANDER WANG * aviators: Ray Ban * watch: MICHAEL KORS

i´ve officially jumped on the navajo pants bandwagon.
this was actually the first outfit i wore on Berlin Fashion Week with my Theyskens Theory boots.
it was all gloomy & grey so i thought why not wear a bright color to cheer up the atmosphere?

ps: here´s a collage of my favorite bloggers´ version of wearing THE Zara pants!

OUTFIT POST - kinda.

2012-01-24T15:05:00.007+01:00

shirt: COS * white jacket: coragroppo courtesy of L´INDE LE PALAIS * leather pants: LAURA SCOTT courtesy of OTTO * coat: ISABEL MARANT * bag: ALEXANDER WANG

the biggest dilemma of a fashion blogger is travelling
without THE boyfriend slash photographer slash everything.
during my trip to berlin, i have completely forgotten (read: embarassed to ask random people to photograph me) taking pictures of my outfit.
so i am so thankful when my friend Jason (which blog you should check out by the way), took these pictures of me.
it´s kind of an outfit post,no?

MBFWB HIGHLIGHT | Lucian Broscatean

2012-01-23T10:00:00.000+01:00

Romanian Designers | Lucian Broscatean
// all pictures by me

okay another highlight of the whole week was the collection of my friend Lucian.
not that i was expecting the opposite, but it was seriously great.
i think better than the last one (which i thought wasn´t possible).
once i set foot backstage, i knew that he´ll hit it again this time.
the clean cuts, the innovative shape of the coats, the details, the drapings, the tailoring,
EVERYTHING was perfect.
i exchanged my seat for a spot on the photographers pit to really capture the beauty of the collection,
and boy am i glad!

Lucian, if you´re reading this, i wish you all the success you truly deserve.
you will be the next big thing, i can sense it!

THE SHOE PROJECT | Pair Numero IV

2012-01-22T16:15:00.004+01:00

NUMERO QUATTRO. Cleane boots: Isabel Marant

i have decided to start this small "The Shoe Project" documenting all the shoes i have acquired for 2012 and mini stories behind the acquisition.
what do you think?
anyway, YESSS finally got a hold of these elusive IM boots.
i have been searching them everywhere to a point of no success.
so before my trip back home from Berlin Fash Week, i decided to have a quick peek at The Corner, and there they were, sitting perfectly waiting for me.

shoutout to the super friendly sales assistant who was tempting me to get the red ones as well.
you rock.

BEIJING TAKING OVER BERLIN.

2012-01-21T09:08:00.003+01:00

BEAUTYBERRY by Wang Yutao presented by Mercedes Benz & ELLE
//photos by me

Here are some shots from my favorite show so far!
So aside from the fact that Wang Yutao is from my side of the globe and a renowned designer in China, his collection was ahh- (wait for it) MAZING!!
the women´s dresses were just so floaty perfect.
the men´s collection is exactly how i picture my boyfriend´s style in my dreams.
a mix of fur, leather and tweed.
Very London Chic. It is said to be a homage to the upcoming Olympic Games hosted by England.
i got goosebumps after the show.
honestly.

PS: As much as i want to update everyday, running a one man show makes it really very hard, almost impossible to post as often as i would want to. :(

THE SHOE PROJECT | GLITTER.

2012-01-19T10:01:00.002+01:00

NUMERO TRES. glitter sandals: French Connection via Sarenza.de

so not over glitter yet.
YOU?

RED VELVET.

2012-01-17T10:39:00.001+01:00

white top: COS * leather vest: Fashion Against Aids x H&M * skinnies: H&M * 5onthedot platform sandals: TO BE ANNOUNCED courtesy SOLESTRUCK

when i got these red velvet babies, my only thought was to provide a plain canvas (thus the white outfit, HA!) where the shoes can take centerstage and get the attention they truly deserve.
planning on a black canvas next!
i am deeply smitten. (i do say that to all of my new shoes!)
they´re red. they´re velvet. and they´re from Solestruck, where all the good shoes come from. :)

i am super stoked to be in Berlin tomorrow but not so excited about the packing (I HATE PACKING!) since i heard it´s super cold there right now.
the sun is shining in my side of town. bummer!

PS: the Carine Roitfeld book + college jacket giveaway is still ON so head over to this post if you still haven´t joined.

sweater: MANGO * skirt: H&M * belt: vintage * boots: THEYSKEN´S THEORY * wayfarers: RAY BAN * rose gold watch: MICHAEL KORS

i know i always say this about my new shoes, BUT oh-em-gee.
i am not going to describe how amazing the shape is (the platform separated from the heels, uhmm genius?),
how comfortable they are (tested and proven) and how pretty AMAZING they are in general.
OOPS. i just did. sorry!

it is hard to look back after my feet tried mr. olivier theyskens creation.
SOO hard.

BLIING.

2012-01-10T12:32:00.003+01:00

top, skirt and boots: VERSACE FOR H&M

this was my New Year´s Eve outfit which i decided to wear again today!
not a big fan of disposable clothing so why not shine on a plain tuesday right?
anyway, the versace for h&m cruise collection is already on everyone´s blog.
are you excited?

xoxo

PANTHER.

2012-01-08T20:55:00.001+01:00

pocket shirt: COS * blazer, shorts & suede over the knee boots: H&M * panther choker: VERSACE for H&M

i just freed these 3 year old pointy suede over the knee boots from the depths of our basement.
who knew i´ll find them there when i have been searching high and low for the exact same kind?
AHHHH. the mystery of my closet..

and this choker? it was actually the reason why i badly wanted to get up at 6 am in the morning and combat with the crazy online shoppers for the versace collab. it was sold out when i managed to get in but after 5 (what really felt like an eternity) mornings of religiously waiting for the online shop to be filled in with new stuff, there it was. waiting for me.
AHHH. the bliss of online shopping..

xoxo

DARK AND TWISTED.

2012-01-06T12:47:00.001+01:00

denim shirt: LEE JEANS via OTTO.DE * pleated skirt: H&M * pistol boots: ACNE * backpack: MATT & NAT

so enough with the cuteness already!
i am back to my old self. my dark and twisted self. *evil laugh*
i even got a chanel lipstick to match!
kidding aside, i have been reading my ass (in that teeny weeny bit of freetime that i have) through Stieg Larsson´s Millenium Trilogy.
i am not done yet but i am already smitten by Lisbeth Salander´s character.
you might remember my first look HERE?

xoxo

MINNIE MOUSE.

2012-01-04T19:13:00.003+01:00

dress, cardigan, tutu, belt & pumps: H&M * tights: TOPSHOP

this is exactly what i love about fashion.
one day i am feeling all cynical about the world and dress head to toe black (undies included) like the true rebel i really am,
and there are days like today when i just feel all cheerful and want to dress up like minnie mouse after watching cartoons the whole day with Miguel.
there are no rules, the are no limitations.

this is also exactly the reason why i can´t define my style.
i have great respect for people who have truly found and keep up with their style.
i can´t.
i just go on with how i am feeling today.
no stress, no pressure.

ARM PARTEEYY!

2012-01-03T09:09:00.001+01:00

shirt: COS * skinnies: NEW YORKER * coat: ISABEL MARANT * python pumps: HOUSE OF HARLOW 1960 from SARENZA.DE * bag: ZARA

my new year´s hangover outfit.
kinda funny how this year started exactly the same as last year.
:)
anyway, as i am a big fan of the man repeller´s way of writing (it is so fun, witty and yeah, fun!),
i decided to name this post after a term she coined.
afterall it is indeed a party down there.
i should throw them more often!

ps: these pumps are on sale at SARENZA! grab them before they sold out!

TWENTY TWELVE.

2012-01-01T17:22:00.006+01:00

anyway, how gorgeous is this jacket?
I SERIOUSLY COULD LIVE INSIDE THIS MONSTER.

AMSTERDAM IN A HURRY.

2011-12-23T12:06:00.002+01:00

so just came back from a VERY quick trip to amsterdam in time for the christmas madness.
i met up with Sabrina from afterDRK for a "secret" project which you´ll know more about soon and a very sumptuous dinner with Cindy from COTTDS afterwards.
we had like 4 hours to see Amsterdam (impossible, i know) the next day until our train arrived.
no Van Gogh Museum, no Anne Frank House or Hermitage, just a quick walk around the 9 streets for a quick lunch (SUSHI!) and some shopping.
a girl has to set her priorities, no?

i think i just fell deeply in love with this city.
i will surely be back.

so if i am not able to update after this,
I AM WISHING YOU ALL MY LOVELY READERS, A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
have a great time with your families and i hope you get all things you´ve wished for!

FLOWERS + PYTHONS.

3d mesh sweater: AMERICAN APPAREL * shorts: MINKPINK via MARKETHQ * python pumps: WEEKDAY * bag: FURLA

hey guys!
how you doing? (think of me imitating my favorite Friends character´s voice, Joey)
so here´s look 2 with my candy bag!
i couldn´t think of a better outfit so i thought why not girly (floral sweater, hello!) + a touch of whimsy (python) just like what this bag is?
haha, sneaky me, i know!

anyway, we´re leaving for Amsterdam tomorrow for a secret project (woot!) and i can´t wait to show the world what it is!

silk blouse: vintage * leather jacket: NEXT via OTTO.DE * shorts: ZARA * backpack: MATT & NAT * boots: ACNE * belt: MICHAEL KORS

chanelling my inner Lisbeth Salander today.
loved the H&M collection for the film (the girl with a dragon tattoo) done by Trish Summerville, but wasn´t so lucky to bag any of it so i decided to make a look with pieces i have in my closet already!
anyway, 6 days till christmas and i don´t have any presents yet. damnit.

WISHWISH.

2011-12-16T21:59:00.005+01:00

all photos from net-a-porter; collage by me.

1. Etoile Isabel Marant Azuli Coat
2. Michael Kors Watch in Rose Gold
3. Isabel Marant Gatsy Pumps (i have been craving the boots version for so long, but decided i own way too many boots for my own good, so pumps it is!)

my ultimate wishlist this christmas. there may also be other lists under my pillows, just in case. :)
and since santa (read: me) has been ultra giving this year, his dwarves might be giftwrapping these things en route to my doorstep right now. MIGHT.

what´s on your list?

ps: one more thing on my list is winning the candy bag styling competition.
there is steep competition as almost all my favorite bloggers are joining. if you have facebook and you like my look, would appreciate each like! :)

i need help, i can´t decide which photo to send for the voting.

don´t regret a single thing buying this sweater.

hello guys!
how´s your monday so far?

what do we think of my pink cuties?
i definitely recommend this satchel + this pop phone as christmas gifts.
they´re too adorable for words. i am sure they´ll be the hit!
anyway, i always get weird/ funny comments when i use my galaxy tab as a phone.
"what is that?" "isn´t it too big?", blah blah blah.
now when i use this headphone, still get the weird/ funny comments.
c´mon people!

PS: loving how these photos turned out, shitty weather and all!
PPS: just had to show you this!! OMG. i heart you Solestruck, i really do!

BONBON.

HAUS OF PRICE MEGA BOOTIES: via SOLESTRUCK * mint dress: SHILLA * jacket: H&M

hey guys!
so i have been thinking..
i get asked all the time, which my favorite shoes are.
though it´s difficult and unfair (LOL) to my other pairs, the answer has got to be these CANDIES.
i just automatically cheer up when i wear these.
when this pretty little mint dress (mint is the new black!) came yesterday, there was no doubt that these bonbon colored shoesies perfectly go with it!
i even went tights- less for one second (thus only four photos!) for you guys!

i def. need an emergency pair in case these get ruined (knock on wood).

xoxo

I´M GONNA MARRY THE NIGHT.

MESSECA MORGAN PLATFORMS via Solestruck Shoes * dress: H&M

THESE SHOES just saved my christmas party shoe dilemma.

major girl problems, but yeah, you know what i mean, right?

i have shown you these boots HERE, gotta say, been wearing them pretty OFTEN since.
unfair to my other pairs, i know!

MY ROCCO JUST GOT A BABY BROTHER, DIEGO.

2011-11-28T18:16:00.003+01:00

DIEGO BUCKET BAG from ALEXANDER WANG.

i think the best gifts are the ones you´ve bought yourself and saved up for so long.
at least for me. :)
i am carrying this bag with so much pride and handling it with so much care as blood, sweat and tears were shed (haha, also known as a LOT of work!) to be able to finally afford it!

i thought it was funny to add this note to myself, just to remind myself again that i soo deserve this!
what was the best gift you´ve ever given yourself?

PS: there´s THIS one in granite with pale gold studs from Net-a-porter (no custom fees for europeans, WOOT!) that would also be super amazing to find under the christmas tree as well!

GROUPIE.

something different today.

i have always been told before i got Miguel that my life is gonna change forever.

AND BOY IT DID!

but even though i have to deal with the noise, the tv hijacking, the crying, the loss of my beautiful flat, the refrigerator decorations, and the NOSE PICKING…

it is all worth it…

BECAUSE OF MOMENTS LIKE THESE..
don´t grow up so fast miguel. :(

and it matches my RAD boots for crying out loud!

OH JEFFREY!

2011-10-30T17:45:00.004+01:00

all of my jeffrey campbell pairs minus the litas. they deserved a separate post. HERE.

i still get a lot of emails about purchasing Jeffrey Campbells outside the USA.
although Europe is slowly catching up, the shops in America still have the best selection and are def. wayyy cheaper!
it´s a bit frustrating (read: HUGE customs taxes + shipping), but i think it´s all worth it!
all my pairs are very comfortable & never ever boring!
my favorite shops are SOLESTRUCK and LORI´S SHOES.
and in europe, ZALANDO and NELLY.

i own the warning, elevator f, snick stud, ping pong, showpony, ford, mary fur in cheetah, el carmen in stars & stripes, photo, foxy wood in silver glitter, dance, and the lana + my beloved litas.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHO´S IN CHARGE OF NAMING THESE SHOES. that would be my dream job. LOLZ

and the hardest question i always have to answer is: "what´s your favorite pair?"

BLOSSOM.

top & skinny jeans in japanese cherry print: MOTEL * pumps: ZARA * tote & necklace: H&M * watch: Michael Kors

hello guys!!
just wanted to quickly show you this outfit that has been on my mind for months now!

if only they created a blazer for this too, i would be one happy camper.

WISHING EVERYONE A LOVELY LONG WEEKEND!

the lovely H&M Press Team!

Mau from Mau Fashion and my favorite blazer from the collection!

Josi from summerlisten! adore this girl!

talking with Dustin from shiggersonstreet

Jan from ZeitGeschmack and moi!

My other quick trip to Berlin was because of the second H&M Blogger Workshop at The Soho House. The whole event was about Fair Trade Fashion (Nachaltige Mode). We were able to see & try on the newest Conscious Collection made entirely from Organic & Recycled Cotton and other recycled textiles (Tencel & Hanf). I had such a hard time deciding which outfit to choose. The two dresses above are my favorites!
If you´ve been reading my blog for a while now, you would know that i am a big supporter/ fan of the Conscious Collections, especially the first one! Not only do i think that the clothes are really good quality, they´re also up to date & trendy.
So who says fair trade clothing have to be ugly?
By 2020, H&M wants to completely produce clothes made only from these materials.
HATS OFF TO THAT!

So glad to meet blogger friends/ colleagues again and talk fashion over delicious food and coffee.
Thank you to H&M & the whole Press Team for the invite! Always a pleasure to be part of such a great event!

xoxo

shirt & hat: H&M * sweater: PIMKIE * slasher shorts: MINKPINK via MARKETHQ * suspender tights: HENRY HOLLAND FOR PRETTY POLLY * wayfarers: Ray Ban * "Warning" creepers: JEFFREY CAMPBELL via LORI´S SHOES

Some of you might have seen my "creeper" tweet or facebook status here and there. I was so curious to try them, if they were for me or not! I ordered two pairs from Underground but sadly they didn´t fit me. :( They were too big & they looked bulky on my feet (weird, because on every other girl i find them really really cool!)

But these shoes..
They are a different story.
They felt so right. PERFECT EVEN!
After trying them on, i knew these were MY creepers.
The heels, the buckle & the comfort factor!!
YOÜ and I = match made in heaven.

I always love a perfect fairytale shoe ending!

PS: If you want to get these with 20% discount, use the code MODEJUNKIE over at Lori´s Shoe s!
Code applies to all regular priced merchandise until october 23rd! ENJOY!

if i had more time, i would have hung around just snapping people´s outfits and of course dig my way to treasures!

weird to me because i really don´t do anything special to it.
i use drugstore shampoo & conditioner.
i do have a go- to hairdresser (nobody´s touching my hair anymore after i "discovered" him).
speaking of which, i am going to have a cut on monday and it will be documented for a tv program. OOPS. he´s THAT good.
i use a wonder weapon from GHD. their hair straighteners are the BEST in the market.
heard. tried. convinced.

THE PERFECT MIX.

2011-09-27T18:39:00.005+02:00

ashley boots & rocco bag: Alexander Wang * turtleneck, jeans & sunnies: H&M

high street clothes + designer shoes & bag = dream team

it may have cost me a fortune but it´s an investment i really don´t regret.
i have been using this bag almost everyday for the last year!
a cheap bag would have never lasted that long with everyday use.
and these boots. i would sleep with these on if i could.
ENOUGH SAID.
clothes on the other hand, since trends come and go faster than you can blink, i don´t have a problem with high street fashion clothing!

what´s your take on this?
agree or disagree? :D

ps: obsessing about turtlenecks lately!

i love reading Solestruck´s shoe descriptions. they´re funny and really spot on!

"Patent, fur, suede and perforated leather has everything and the lace up, army-style boot structure is our #1 pick for FW/11. Careful, people are going to freak out when you wear these---we know from experience."

and boy were they right! :D
happy sunday guys!!

New Shoes!

2011-09-04T14:51:00.003+02:00

Matiko Lee Leopard Studded Loafers from Solestruck Shoes

Woke up cold one Tuesday,
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
So I quickly opened the wardrobe,
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
That were ripped around the seams,
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me.

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I don't need an excuse,
'cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.
-Paolo Nutini, New Shoes

this song is like written for me and my new Lee Loafers!
BIG LOVE!
watch out this space for a rad Matiko giveaway soon!

PS: the winner of the Sunglasses Shop x Mode Junkie Giveaway is Navreet (Trendsteps!).

An email is on your way girl!

i have never been to a rock concert so i am really excited!

ps: i love Jeffrey Campbells so much (i think you´ve noticed) but i am with the originals on this one (Chloe Docs!).
i remember crushing on these some years ago and was so happy to have found it in my size!
if you can´t find it though, the JC Tardy is a very good alternative!

my boyfriend´s shirt.

denim shirt: H&M * leather clutch: Stephane Verdino from Sarenza * FAVORITE SHOES AT THE MOMENT: Jeffrey Campbell Lana from Nelly

ok, let me start with this leather clutch!
i got it for 20 euros (!!) from Sarenza Sale. SUPER SCORE, NO?
i think they´re really a nice alternative to the american apparel clutch without the hefty price tag.
it´s slouchy, it´s leather, i love it!
i hope they make this in other colors too!

then let´s move over to THESE shoes!!
i am trying to describe them for days, but the only words that pop to mind are:
AMAZING, WAHHHHH, AHHHH.. hmm.
they´re really comfy, as all Jeffrey Campbells are.
i thought the litas are craaazzzyy but these bring home the bacon!
i love Nelly´s small but fine selection of JCs!
they also have the Litas in Silver Glitter!

i wanted to keep the outfit simple so i stole this shirt from le boyf´s closet!
haha
