Yesterday I had a little surprise gift in the mail, a fresh pair of brown Vans OTW. Thanks a lot! On this occasion I stumbled upon the video of the launch party during Bread and Butter last month that we were invited to. Unfortunately we were not able to go and it sure as hell looks like we missed a really nice evening feat Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Chris Kong, Dimitri Coste and Eric Elms. Next time! Check the video after the jump.

Anna, Philipp and I followed up two invitations last weekend. One was the Sony Walkman launch presentation with a panel talk about favorite songs with Frank Spilker (Die Sterne), Tom Hessler (Fotos) and one Intro guy (can’t remember his name). After the session we also joined the Intro birthday event “100 DJ’s”. It was really fun because 100 different DJs were just playing 1 song each! It was such a great line up with a lot of old friends. Great event.…
I was wearing a Won Hundred dress, my Whyred shirt and the Monki blazer, also the Asos bag and some Jeffrey Campbells.…
A lot of lookbooks look “same same but different” these days and just don’t manage to keep/build an authentic brand identity. Either focusing too much on the product or trying to tell a story that just does not come around authentic. Herschel keeps to its read thread and comes with a lovely lookbook transporting a feeling that makes me want to pack my bag right away. The products in just the right context.

I’m thinking about renaming this section ;) Maybe the name “Sevda in love with redheads” fits better. But the photos of Ilva Heitmann definitely are some of my favorites. Her strong and different look, her intense eyecontact and her “non posing” is modern as hell. I would love to see more photos like this in Germany.

Wow, I love the whole look and especially the pattern of the blouse. Also the combination with the bright green is such a brave choice! Seen at “Pixiemarket“.…
YMC has become one of my favorite brands these days. This lookbook of spring/summer 2012 has quite a young and clean approach and the styling really isn’t my personal preference, but I still like the outcome and totally agree with the creative decision. In combination with inspiration from the previous lookbooks and the choice of models in the online-shop I can still relate and get inspired by the brand. Nevertheless because of the great clothes. Good stuff!

What I like about Urban Outfitters is their love to freature young talents like designers, artists and musicians. Also their way of doing it is always a creative one. The latest lucky ones are “First Aid Kid” from Sweden. A nice way to present an interview including great pictures with the typical UO styling. Have a look here on the “UO Website“. Sometimes the easiest way is the best way indeed.…
At work I need to review a lot of models at the moment. No wonder that my eyes were stuck on Beegee Margenyte at Supreme Management. She worked for clients like MIH, Topshop, Bull & Bear and I love Fake. I love her look and pictures. She got something really special and you remember her longer than just a while. That’s what clients want, beautiful girls with charisma ;)

It’s time for some spring inspiration. I saw this gorgeous vest and leather bag hanging in the Acne store in Stockholm. Damn, it looked so incredible just hanging there. I also can’t wait to wear some color and light fabrics again. Let there be spring! ;)
(Vest and Bag – Acne, Pullover and Skirt – Weekday, Shoes – Peter Jensen, Visor – Fleet Ilya)

I have been a fan of Parra’s work for years now and I really like the outcome of this collabo. This interview stresses the background of his motivation and provides a solid ground for choosing him as a partner and at the same time an authentic stage for his very own brand. Be sure to check out his own clothing line Rockwell as well. I find it really funny that he doesn’t like the color green. I know someone else who does neither. ;-)

This post is dedicated to “This is Jane Wayne“, two blogger colleagues and their article about why/how bloggers can afford designer clothes.
I can just answer it for myself:
I’m working fulltime, blogging is just a hobby. I don’t have a car because I prefer carsharing or riding my bike. I don’t smoke no more and I’m not really a party person. Philipp and I share an apartment. I like buying designer stuff instead of tons of retailer items ;)
What I do is just buying classic and no trend items. And I love sale! I bought the this vest on sale and I know I will wear it for a long long time and I’ll be able to combine it really well.
That’s the secret how I can afford it…
It’s more a question of prioritization.

Supporting talents seems to be en vogue at the moment and I like it. Especially if it looks as good as the preview of the “Topshop NEWGEN TEES”

This week I’m in love with “Luisa Bianchin” at Viva. Sorry for waiting such a long time since the last wonderful model post. If you have been following us since a while you may have seen Luisa on the blog before. We did a streetstyle picture of her in NYC during the Fashionweek. Her unique face and stunning modern look make her outstanding.

Union really is a store i like and love to visit when in Los Angeles. They have a great selection of brands and an inspiring way of presenting the styles. I borrowed these shots from a Patta blog post a while ago. Until recently Comme Des Garcons was not really on my personal “need” radar, but these pics definitely changed it. Dope!
