She did it! As I wrote before, I was very hesitant to believe that Olivia Palermo will attend Berlin Fashion Week, but I still went to the Markus Lupfer presentation at Soho House because I thought there might be a slight chance of her being there. She arrived about 15 minutes after me, posed for pictures, looked at the collection, talked to many people, changed her outfit and left again. And let me tell you, she is tiny. I looked like a giant compared to her. But let me also tell you, she is super sweet. Forget the “The City” bullshit where she is portrayed as a bitch, at the Markus Lupfer event she was the nicest girl in the room. Here are some of my pictures…
So my dear readers, I’m back in Berlin. Moving is more complicated than I thought even though i was just away for three months. Busy with reorganizing my life and celebrating my birthday (yaaaay!), but I’ll be back to more blogging soon. Oh and, I’m excited for Berlin Fashion Week! Will see many shows again and share all the crazy fashion world goss with you. So stick around! Back to my third glass of champagne…
P.S. Wish someone gave me those cupcakes for my Bday
When I went to work this morning I saw this advertisement for McDonalds McCafe Cupcakes. You probably think “Sowhat?” Well… this is a big thing for Germany since cupcakes aren’t really that popular here. If I asked my parents what cupcakes are they probably wouldnt know… really. So now Germany is a even more Americanized! I aint complaining, I love cupcakes! So of course I went to McCafe after work and got these two little yummy ones, vanilla and strawberry. Gonna eat them now… at 9.30 pm…yes, I’m having cupcakes for dinner!
It’s spring!!!! Finally warm sunny days, the smell of flowers and the sound of birds, it’s like the world awakes from a long sleep. If you love spring as much as I do, I got the perfect music to accompany you through those nice long days. Daisy Hicks. I got to know her music through a friend of mine and I wanna recommend it to all my readers. All week I’ve been listening to her album “Daisy” and couldn’t help but be reminded of Vanessa Paradis in some songs, others reminded me of Delta Goodrem which is not surprising knowing that Daisy lived in Sydney for a long time. My favorite song of the album is “Baby you know”, I love the beautiful melody , the romantic lyrics and the relaxing vibe of it. Probably the most catchy song of the album is “If I can’t make it”, it clearly stands out and is perfect for singing along, love it! Other favorites of mine are “Heartbreak Hill” and “So lonely” because of the nice guitar sound. So if you wanna see for yourself what I’m talking about, go have a look at her website hereand watch the video that I posted above.
I remember a few months ago I blogged about Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance video and said she won me over as a fan. Now that I’ve watched her new video “telephone”, I am even more impressed. Yes it’s provocative, yed it’s weird and maybe disturbing to some people, but what I find most important is: It is entertaining. It’s kind of like a really exciting game on a site likehttp://www.foxybingo.com/. And it was damn fun to watch! I just love how colorful it is and of course my fashion heart beats faster when I see all these crazy outfits. Favorites of mine are the studded leather jacket in the prison, the stars and stripes outfit and Beyonces blue uniform. I could watch this video over and over again and not get sick of it. Moreover, it made me appreciate the song more, which I found rather boring in the beginning. I want this video to win some VMAs!!! Here are my fav screencaps…
Aparently there are thousands of useful apps out there, I have an ipod touch for almost two years now and honestly, I dont use many apps. But today I saw this and I think I might download it, finally a useful app for fashionistas :
The new fashion dictionary-app for iPhone and iPod touch
Finally, a fashion dictionary! The renowned publisher “Fachverlag Schiele & Schön”, based in Berlin, launches the dictionary for clothing and fashion as an app for iPhone and iPod touch. It will be a helpful assistant if you need a professional translation for technical terms.
Or do you know straightaway that for example pirate trousers means in German Caprihose or in Italian pantaloni alla pescatora? If you had difficulties in translation up to now it will assist you from now on. The new app makes it possible!
The dictionary includes about 8.000 technical terms of the categories: fashion, clothing, underwear, and stylish accessory in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. You will find up to date fashion-terms like shaded stripe and cargo style as well as fundamental terms like sleeve hem, revers etc.
Everytime and everywhere you can look up a word and use it. The terms are arranged in alphabetical order and connected with the terms according to the other languages. Results will be displayed after only entering the 2nd character.
An absolute must for everyone who searched desperately for technical terms in a foreign language and who hasn’t found them in expensive standard works so far!
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
So last night I decided very spontaneously that I wanna go to our huge department store KaDeWe and I didn’t regret it. They have the best christmas decoration in Europe, it is amazing. And this year it is pink! Not tacky pink, very beautiful dark pink with gold, the huge christmas tree looks amazing and there are marry-go-rounds and wooden horses and birds everywhere. The best thing though are the details. If you look closely, there are candy hearts and lollipops saying “Love” everywhere. I felt like a little kid in winter wonderland. If you are in Berlin until christmas, you have to go there and see for yourself. I took these pictures with my cell phone but believe me, it looks a thousand times better in reality, and yes, thats me in the picture with the mirror, I thought it looked funny : )
