It was love at first sight. I had this slow-motion-moment, when I passed by this table of very uninspiring folded sweaters and T-shirts at a local fleamarket. Suddenly my eyes got caught on emerald. I reached out for the colour underneath a pile of dull garments and pulled out a gem (that was the slow-motion-moment). … Continue Reading
Is there an official name for them? Fannypack, bum bag, belly pouch? We call them ‘Wimmerl’ in Bavaria, it’s sort of a nickname for a pimple. Maybe the name doesn’t matter or is it significant for this fabulous accessory that it was never awarded with a real good ‘fashion-name’ (or it never reached my ears). … Continue Reading

You can’t ever go wrong with leopard. That’s a rule. My personal rule. Unless it’s a really, really badly made print, leopard is always cool. Timeless. Every age group looks good in it – from a cute little (leopard-) baby to Ari Seth Cohen’s Advanced Style ladies. It can be elegant, sexy, sporty or even … Continue Reading
First post! New category! ‘Re-tail therapy’ is now to start, a category that sort of threw itself onto me. I love beautiful things, things with a history and things that make sense. Sometimes I also like things that don’t really make sense, just because they are beautiful. I love fleamarkets and bargains (I’m a treasure … Continue Reading
It’s holiday season. So I thought to myself ‘why not dedicate the entire month of December to festivity?’ I think that’s a brilliant idea as I know for a fact that some of us struggle with this season (even some of my models – believe it or not). So let’s start with the basics: Holiday … Continue Reading
If you get one get a good one. Nothing worse than a cheap Trenchcoat. I don’t want to sound snobbish ( I do like some cheap trash!) but when it comes to classics it HAS to be the real thing. When the time came that I felt adult enough I treated myself to a classic … Continue Reading
Not much to say about those three. They are perfect. I bought them in charity shops, second hand stores, fleamarkets in L.A. and N.Y. a long time ago. They were cheap and used and I loved them and still do to this day. All three of them are my favorites. If you buy used T-shirts … Continue Reading
You can’t beat a good old well-worn pair of Levi’s 501s. They are classics. Almost unchanged over the decades they are my all-time favorite jeans for the so called ‘boyfriend’ style – a term invented to describe oversized, vintage looking (but mostly new and expensive), rolled up jeans, seen on actresses and models. My 501s … Continue Reading
‘The Good Things’ are things that stay with you, things you care for and you love. The Good Things don’t break, they defy all trends, they usually have a history and they sometimes have been passed on from one generation to the next. They are worn more or less frequently and they are NEVER given … Continue Reading
