Lavender and lilac are tricky colors. Very hard to wear, can make you look pale and lifeless, stands for a certain kind of old ladies’ look. On the other hand they are the colors of spring and summer, first bloom, beautiful scents and if you pick the right colors to go along with them (like … Continue Reading
OK – time for a little ‘Style Check’ here. We want to know who we are dealing with. Let’s try to stick some kind of label to Gunnar’s outfit. Done deal: Parka, hat, sweater – clearly 60s, Great Britain, Mods, ‘Quadrophenia’. Hm, Adidas Sneakers get me a little confused, ruins the 60’s look and drags … Continue Reading
If you think my models dress up just because they know they are being photographed and the rest of their days they run around in their orthopaedic shoes and outerwear gear, you are wrong. Brigitta is living proof. She didn’t know I was coming to take her picture because she had confused the dates. We … Continue Reading
We will continue to pretend it’s springtime. I am doing my best although this morning when I woke up the world was white again. ‘White’ as in ‘snow’. Makes my task a bit harder – but not impossible. I have to leave the house eventually but since I refuse to go back to the woollen … Continue Reading
It’s the first of February and I hereby declare winter to be over. No more woollen stockings No more mud colors. That’s why I chose Corey to be my ‘let’s welcome springtime!’- girl. Though the picture was taken in Paris on a warm September afternoon it is the perfect spring picture to lift up my … Continue Reading
You may wonder why the majority of my ‘Style Icons’ have already…how can I put it uncontroversially….passed the centerline of life. They are within an age group that you wouldn’t usually consult if you needed fashion advice. How come I find those ‘Advanced Stylers’ so admirable? Maybe because they’ve done and seen a lot. You … Continue Reading
Winter, snow and ice have finally arrived. It’s a tough time for fashion lovers. All the easiness is gone, you have to protect yourself from harsh weather conditions, make sure you wear something…..practical. How I detest this word. It’s a synonyme for those feminine puffer jackets and coats that a woman cannot seem to escape. … Continue Reading
It’s about shoes – again. Don’t roll your eyes, this time it’s not about female shoe obsession or how a pair of shoes can change your life. This time it’s about men’s shoes (not sneakers!), the part of a man’s wardrobe that’s quite often underrated. A woman can transform her image with a pair of … Continue Reading
First post in 2013 – and it’s a post about happiness. Happiness is when someone smiles a lot and has that certain glow in the eyes. It’s when everything about that person seems soft and relaxed. Happiness makes you feel comfortable and it changes the way you look, the way you dress. Sometimes you need … Continue Reading
If you are in a hurry on new year’s eve? Wear black and white, some serious jewellery, a killer handbag and a big smile (fantastic footwear is taken as a given). That’s it, whatever you’ll wear you will look gorgeous. If you happen to be a man? Same, no handbag, tone down the jewellery. Happy … Continue Reading
It’s the day before Christmas and Brigitta and I have just one thing to say to you: The message is love (=liebe). Wouldn’t it be great to have a little ‘love emergency cupboard’ on your wall and every time you desperately need a little bit of love you just open it and instantly you feel … Continue Reading
This time of the year you have to be prepared. Almost every day there is some kind of festive activity around the corner. Either a christmas party at work, an after work mulled wine get-together at a christmas market or just a little romantic walk in the wintery park with your sweetheart. People with a … Continue Reading
