how to be a good girl

...simply show your best behavior. I'd love to do that in the clothes of the homonymous label from Denmark. With their summer collection they totally strike the right tone for me. Jodhpurpants, oversized sweaters combined with leggins, onepieces - and everything in apricot or grey.

..einfach sein bestes Benehmen zeigen - oder eben 'best behavior'. Das gleichnamige Modelabel aus Dänemark trifft genau meinen Geschmack mit ihrer Sommerkollektion - Jodhpurhosen, großzügig geschnittene Oberteile zu Leggins, Einteiler - und das alles auch noch in Apricot oder Grau. In Deutschland gibt es ihre Kollektionen bisher nur in einem einzigen Laden in - wie konnte es anders sein - Berlin, und zwar im Belleville Store.

Cooperative Designs

cooperativedesigns is a project of Annalisa Dunn and Dorothee Hagemann who met on the MA Fashion course at Central St Martins in 2007.
The first collection, Spring/Summer08, features knitwear with key jersey pieces. The colours and patterns are just wonderful - they make me long for spring even more!

Die erste Kollektion der beiden besteht aus Strickwaren mit einzelnen Teilen aus Jersey. Die Farben und Muster sind einfach wundervoll, meine Sehnsucht nach Frühlingswetter wird immer stärker.

LEW

This is such a fantastic collection: the current collection of LEW, a dutch designer duo. Some pieces are some how plaited and what sometimes looks like prints is just sewed - Patchwork so to say. I am especially in love with the pants and the blue/black/white skirt (or dress) since they look both - sophisticated AND comfy. What a brilliant combination. WANNA HAVE.

Ich bin ganz hin und weg von dieser Kollektion - der aktuellen Kollektion des niederländischen Designer Duos LEW. Manche Kleidungstücke sind irgendwie geflochten und was auf den ersten Blick aussieht wie Drucke ist genäht - sprich Patchwork. Die Hosen und der blau/schwarz/weiße Rock (oder Kleid) haben es mir besonders angetan. Sieht schick UND bequem aus - eine tolle Kombination. HABEN WOLLEN.

wishlist

Yesterday I saw that they already started to sell christmas sweets at the supermarket. That (besides that it makes me feel awkward when they start selling marzipan at the beginning of september) reminded me of my intention to look for christmas presents a little earlier then a week in advance - THE HORROR...

Actually I plan to do so every year and never really managed it yet. I only find myself looking for what I want for christmas.
So here are some jewellery that could be on my wishlist this year...

necklaces by Alex & Chloe

Fairytales - necklace and ring by Frau der Ringe

charm pin by Beci Orpin aka Princess Tina, available at BusyBeing

seventies style ginkgo necklace by Erica Weiner, available at chocosho

cute pin by Allira, available at chocosho

Paris, Paris

I have to admit I have never been to Paris yet! It is on the top top of two of my wish lists:

1. 'places i'd like to go' and
   
2. 'places i'd like to go with my sweetheart and just be in love' (which means - besides making it - eat at nice little restaurants and stroll hand in hand through the city plus a little shopping on the side).

'Je t'aime' is a lamp by Pierre Gonalons - actually it is more than a lamp it is a declaration of love to the city of love!

This one is called 'sunrise'.



Très jolie, n'est pas?

cotton candy

Danish Designer Maria Kirk Mikkelsen has designed this knitted Pink Powder Puf/Pillow. It looks so light en puffy, just like cotton candy.

::REHAB::

Sarah Cihat gives old plates a new face - she reglazes and refires old or rejected plates and doing so they get a new life. They are beautiful - I would hang them on my wall! I love how you still see the old decor through the new one.

And now the shoes...

... as promised. Daphne Bikkers designed these shoes for her graduation at the Academy of Arts in Arnhem, The Netherlands in 2006. They are all handmade and she even made pairs. She designed her collection in the style of the collection of Antoine Peters graduation at the Fashion Institute Arnhem. In so doing she scored a) brilliant pictures and b) attention from very important fashion people who attend the graduation shows in Arnhem every year.

Very rarely you see cool shoes for men like these ones...

She now headed for London where she is doing her master degree in MA Fashion Footwear. That means we just have to wait a little more until her prototypes turn into buyable products.
To see more check out her profile at the Virtual Shoe Museum - which is worth a visit anyways.
