WHATS IN MY (BRANDNEW) COSMETIC BAG

I’ve never had such a beautiful cosmetic bag like this brandnew stunner from Munich based label LARA KAZIS – it’s made of luxurious black leather with a golden zipper with a tassle closure (also available in other lovely colours). I think I would even wear it as an evening clutch. And this is what I carry around in it: My favourite eye cream “All about eyes” from Clinique // Lancôme Rouge in Love Lipstick “Dans Ses Bras” // MAC Eye Shadow “Quarry” // Benefit “Benetint” rose-tinted lip and cheek stain and “High Beam”, a satin satiny pink liquid highlighter // MAC brushes 150 and 109 // MAC Powder Blush “Pinch Me” // Sisley Phyto-Khol Perfect Eyeliner “Snow” // and my alltime favourite: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat “Ivoire Lumière”.

SHIFT SHELF SYSTEM

I’m madly obsessed with Shift – a clever shelf system designed by Sebastian Schönheit, consisting of four elements which can easily be stacked on top of each other and moved horizontally. Shift is made of coated plywood and coated steel and can also be used as a room divider. Love!

JESSIE HARRIS JEWELLERY

Ladies, have a gander at Jessie Harris’ staggering handmade jewelry. Wouldn’t mind having these beauties in my jewel box.

LISTENING TO: POLIÇA “WANDERING STAR”

Listening over and over again…

THE SPELLBOUND

Lunch break love today: the first issue of The Spellbound magazine. Spellbound, the brainchild of Berlin based Benjamin Lindenkreuz and Lisa Trautmann, is not only a fashion magazine but a platform to portrait fascinating personalities – often unsung in way – like the enchanting Laragh McCann (who adorns the cover), designer Loic Prigent, stylist Gabrielle Greiss or the designer duo Issever Bahri. From the first page on I was captured by its clean, elegant design and beautiful effortless fashion shots. So hurry up lovelies, be quick and get your copy here (7 EUR only!).

NEW IN

Sale shopping can be difficult, but this time I somehow managed to stay cool. I thought it was time to invest in a pair of classic black pumps and discovered this beautiful simple pair with a twist at Jil Sander (currently 50% off!). Also new in my wardrobe: off-white singlet from Acne // white nailpolish “limo scene” from Essie and my new big love from H&M Trend: chunky iridescent crystal necklace.

FANNY AND JESSY AW 2012

So good. No words. AW 2012 collection from Fanny and Jessy.

IN LOVE WITH A PRINT

I’m madly obsessed with this tremendous digital bird print from The Hellers. I just can’t decide if I should buy the Cross Back Crop Top or the Shorts. What do you think?

ANVE ENVELOPE

ANVE does it again: Envelope, their new card holders are carefully made by hand of luxurios soft leather. It can’t be wrong to invest in some high quality business accessories, no?

ITEMS

Inspiration today: the gorgeous website of Belgian shop Items.

WATCHING FOOTBALL

I’ve been watching almost every match of the EURO 2012 so far and so will I tonight. Everybody who knows me would confirm that I would never wear a jersey but today I stumbled upon this gorgeous Germany Football Jersey from Adidas Originals at Size? and I kind of caved. Would wear it with Silver Shorts from Topshop // Pastel Tube Bracelet from COS //  Robert Clergerie blush nubuck Oxfords via Totokaelo and Super Lucia Sunnies via The GoodHood Store. Are you game?

ONLINESHOPS: BARUCKELLO

I was searching for an orange bomber jacket, a see through blouse and some neon stuff. Found it all (plus many other lovely pieces) at Baruckello, a Paris based online boutique with limited edition clothing for women and men with pretty reasonable prices. Life is good.

PENNY SAGE

High temperatures makes me want to wear nothing. OK, OK… but also it would feel nice to cover my body with those beautiful easy breezy pieces from New Zealand designer Penny Sage!

GUIM TIÓ

I don’t know but young artist Guim Tió Zarraluki from Barcelona totally captivates me with his strangely compelling portraits. He finds his inspiration in fashion, some of his pictures are painted over fashion magazines pages (watch the process of his work in the animation above). Mesmerised as I am, I instantly had to buy one of his intense prints at PrintsMania, guess which one?
