MARBLE CRUSH PART 1

Marble is probably one of the most underestimated materials as it is often associated with the pretentious taste of the nouveau riches, with showiness and splendor. But in fact it can be very sophisticated – it’s only a question of the right balance.

LAPÀPORTER BAGS FOR iPAD & CO

How LONG have I been searching for something like this? For her label Lap à porter Ilka Brand creates pure and simple bags for iPads, notebooks, iPhones and other smartphones. All items are handmade and the best thing is: if you need a special size she will customize one for you. I think this summer my Macbook will wear the Suede Envelope Sleeve in sand. Or in darkblue? Oh dear… At this point a big “thank you” to my reader Peter who sent me the link a couple of days ago.

AVELON AW 12

Avelon just blows me off my feet with their edgy Autum Winter 2012 collection! Oversized wool coats, shiny pants and skirts with a certain twist… I would wear every single piece. I mean, you just have to look at their devil-in-detail cuts and those tone-in-tone silhouettes. Yes.

MOXHAM

Madeleine Moxham creates rad statement jewelry inspired by Egyptian mythology and the repetition of striking motifs for her label Moxham. I’d love to have the Taba cuff in black and one in nude for coming spring (it is also available in pink and yellow at Kabiri!). Walk like a Moxham!

FAVOURITES FROM STYLEIN SS 2012

Icecream colours, lots of white, some contrasting black and a white, wide pant  – that’s all I need for spring. The new Stylein SS 2012 collection is now in store and – isn’t it surprising? – it is right up my alley… the insane combination of silk and soft leather is doing the rest.

FASHIONOLOGY ABOVE KNUCKLE RINGS

I don’t know but I’m so in love with those sterling silver Above Knuckle Rings from Fashionology, especially the plain band version with 1,5 cm wide band.

NEW FRIENDS

Made me happy today: New leightweight mint green top from Zara, the first issue of Interview Germany (their inspiring blog is also TOTALLY worth a visit!) and new oh-so-comfy black suede slipper pumps from Toast.

PASTEL DREAMS

Hey there lovelies, how are you doing? I’m back from a fantastic winter holiday – I’ve never seen so much snow! Although I hope that winter will still last for a while, I’m longing for some fresh spring colours for my wardrobe. Combined with something black you can even wear them right now!

HERRINGBONE BAGS

I’m smitten with the versatile leather bags from Herringbone, available in three different sizes. I think they would be absolutely perfect for travelling – you just need one bag for everything: a fancy clutch for the evening, a neccessaire for your makeup or a safe place for your cards and passport. Speaking of traveling, I’ll be off  to the mountains again now for a couple of days (yiha)… some of you might already know how much I love skiing. Alright then, lovelies, see you soon!

MOLLIS EASY CHAIR

The picture of that incredible easy chair from my latest post kept haunting me all night long, so today my mission was to find out more about it, and… drum rolls… it is called Mollis and comes from the young Swedish brand RVW, founded by Johannes Herbertsson and Jonas Nordgren in 2009. Mollis’ slender wooden seat is made from moulded veneer and available in either stained or transparent lacquer finish, while the seat pad can be upholstered in fabric or leather. The chair sits upon a double cross steel leg frame and you can choose between a powder coated or a brushed finish. Orders can be handled through their office in Sweden. (pictures Bolaget & RVW)

PICTURE-PERFECT

Love this apartment with its white walls and furniture and contrasting black-and-white portrait pictures. I totally got to have this cool photography of cigarette-smoking Charlotte Gainsbourg taken by Jean-Baptiste Mondino! Available for example at idposter. Pictures via Bolaget.

SOO IHN KIM CUFF

I’m obsessed with the metal cuffs from Soo Ihn Kim, which are now back in stock again at Shopbop. But I just can’t decide – matte black, silver, gold?

FASHION PLATFORM LOOKK

I totally love the idea behind LOOKK, an online fashion platform that connects designers directly with consumers, providing tools for designers to promote, produce and retail their products worldwide, so they can gain exposure and build their brand. You can discover new upcoming designers, browse through their lookbooks and by becoming a member you’ve also got the possibility to vote for your favourite pieces.
