It's feels weird to admit that I have been drawn to pink coloured clothes and shoes recently. I mean... WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!? I was so sure I would never like that certain bright shade of pink again in my life, but as usual one shall never say never. Especially if it's fashion related. The colour pinks has been been associated with Barbie, blondies and pure trashiness for a while now but on the streets we can see how pink can actually look really nice and quite sophisticated, if combined with simple cuts, calm colours or silky materials. Whilst looking around the high-street and browsing my favourite online shops, pink seems to pop up everywhere! The ASOS happy days sandals are my absolute favourite. I love everything about them: The nostalgic kitsch, the metallic look and the chunky heel which hopefully makes the shoe a little bit more comfy. Pink is such a vibrant summer colour (great for a night out!) and can be easily taken into autumn. Take the streetstyle photographs as an example - pink accessories and key pieces are great colour accents when the first autumn outfits.

Excuse me talking about autumn fashion already...in the head office I'm working in I'm surrounded by wintery knits already!

Monki Magazine The Freezing Issue

Oh Monki, everything you do I adore. The newest magazine is inspirational as always and draws me in with beautiful illustrations, editorials, interesting articles about living up in the north and a sneak peak at what Monki got for us in spring! Unfortunately, they don't send out magazines anymore but luckily you can still read it online, get it in store or when you order online. Also the 25% code is rather tempting...and if they have the black chunky platform Mona boots back in stock I would definitely use it. I mean wasting a discount code would be a shame, right?

Oh Monki, du kannst machen was du willst und ich liebe es einfach. Die neuste Zeitschrift ist mal wieder ein Traum und zieht mich in ihren Bann. Wunderschoene Illustrationen, Editorials in der Wildniss, Artikel ueber das Leben im hohen Norden und ein Sneak Peak auf Monki Fruehlings Kollektion -was will Frau mehr. Leider verschickt Monki die Zeitschriften nicht mehr zu uns nach Hause, aber online, in Stores und bei Online Bestellungen sind sie wohl noch dabei! Gott sei Dank, denn Monki's Zeitschriften sind eine meiner groessten Inspirationsquellen. Schon seit Monaten bewundere ich ausserdem schon die Mona Platform Stiefel und der 25% Code klingt sehr verlocked. Allerdings wollte ich doch aber warten bis ich wieder in Hamburg bin um die Gemuetlichkeit zu testen. Was soll ich bloss tun?

P.S. I'm going to Birmingham tomorrow for the first time ever. Expect some posts about it very soon.

I can't wait to be back in Berlin

Berlin this summer will be amazing and not only because of Bread&Butters Supershow. After having watched the new Monki television episode with LesMads founder Jessie, I really wanna go and explore Berlin more than I did last time. Ohhh and the "Happy Shop" is definitely one of my first shops to visit!

on Monki.

Mulberry. Whimsical short film campaign.

 I just discovered this beautiful Mulberry short video. The ad campaign starring Lindsey Wixon and Nimue Smit was shot by Tim Walker and reflects perfectly the mood of S/S11 Mulberry. I love the idea of designers being short film makers! I want more more more of moving images than normal still ads.

Also I felt like the vibe of the new april Monki campaign: "In a secret garden" is very similar to this short film. Dreamy setting, big flowers, romantic and whimsical. The only difference? Monki picked up the fruit trend and placed some over sized ones in the campaign. Also I love the idea of putting illustrations in normal adverts, its gives it a very playful and nostalgia look.

 I'm craving for raw gem accessories already for ages but Billy Brides jewelry would definitely break my bank. Finally it seems like highstreet shops such as Topshop and Urban Outfitters answer my prayers! Topshops stone necklaces aren't too impressive but Urban Outfitters raw gem earrings, rings and necklaces made my heart jump every time I clicked on another item! They look stunning!!! They are only available in the US but ship to UK.

Here some of my favs from Urban Outfitters US:

$24. Wrapped shimmery mineral post earring.

$28. Raw stone ring.

$80. Dara Ettinger chelsea ring.

What I've been wearing...

Hey everyone! 

I hope you all recovered well from too much christmas food and family stress. Yesterday I wore my favourite vintage necklace with my new Clementina hairy Monki dress and some tights. I'm obsessed with burgundy-coloured tops/dresses/chunky cardigans etc at the moment...I just can't get enough!
