I guess one can say that I read a lot of fashion magazines. Probably more than anyone I know. This means that I have read many editorials and texts of fashion editors, directors and stylist praising the latest trends. At the moment of course, fashion mags are full with the fall/winter collections and I read stuff like “Fall Must-Haves” and “What to wear now” in every single one of them. Editors write that the time of 52 different kinds of grey is over and that it’s time for beautiful colors like orange and green. This made me think. If the majority of designers had shown only shades of black and grey in their fall collections, we would now read things like “The new trend color grey” or “Grey: versatile and classic”.

Every season, editors and fashionistas around the world praise the trends that designers set. And it seems like every trend can be justified. Take for example florals. Now, they might be described as “The comback of femininity”. In a few months the same editors or blogger or whoever interested in fashion might describe florals as “tacky and old fashioned”.

Even I find myself hating things that I loved some time ago. Are we too influenced by the media? Do designers make the trends? Does that make us hypocrites? All I know is that fashion should not be taken too serious (wait…what…did I just say that?!) and that everyone should wear what they feel comfortable in. I just wish that fashion magazines could come up with new headlines and stop the same old recycled terms like “new key-pieces”. Fashion magazines should be more opinionated. Just because something is new or someone important created it, does not make it a “must-have”.

Anyways, I do love my fashion mags and this isnt really a major issue, it’s just something that I found a little bit irritating. But maybe that’s just me…

Miranda Kerr got the cover of the September issue of Vogue Italia. Of course this is a huge thing in the fashion industry and it marks the peak of Miranda’s career. The photos shot by Steven Meisel show lots of different sides of Miranda and she is great at posing! I mean…look at all her bending and jumping and trying to hide her baby bump ; ) Anyways, beautiful ed, cute cover with her dog Frankie and the fact that it’s in 3D makes me even more anxious to buy the issue.

Thanx to mayfrayn at TFS for scanning.

I’m the best online window shopper. I can look through stuff at asos.com for hours without getting bored. Today I created my perfect fall outfit. So there is this beauuuuutiful dress with a round neckline and long sleeves. I love the fabric, the color and the cute belt that comes with it. My bag would have the same color and would have to be a satchel bag, you can carry it around your wrist or have it hanging from your shoulder and it’s big enough for all my shit - uhm, I mean, for all my very important things ; ) Suede ankle Boots with wide heel, trendy yet comfortable. Now the jacket I chose looks very sporty compared to the rest of the outfit, but every interesting outfit should have a twist - besides, it reminds me of Alexander Wangs collection. The ring is from House of Harlow, can’t go wrong with a big cocktail ring. To add a little color, I would wear this pink and gold Juicy Couture watch, I simply love it! And if I feel very fancy, the lace hat is a great detail! Now if only I had 660 Euros…. that outfit would be MINE!!!

It’s not even fall yet, but the must have item of the upcoming winter is chosen. A Burberry jacket. Not the trenchcoats that made Burberry famous. The “It item” of the winter season will be an aviator jacket, like the one that Bianca Balti wears on the picture above. It looks amazing, warm, soft, trendy and very cool because of the big collar. I want it! BUT of course I cant afford it so I will keep my eyes open for the copies that will appear in the next few weeks in high end street stores. Keepin my fingers crossed!!!

You all probably know this, but for those who dont: The September issues of fashion magazines are the most important ones of the year. So it’s always interesting to see what covers the magazines come up with. While Vogue US and Vogue UK published very boring covers, having Halle Berry and Kate Moss on them, Australian Vogue and Harpers Bazaar - in my opinion - have the best September issues of the year. Elle Macpherson still looks stunning for her age and presents the pink feminine Louis Vuitton dress very well. It’s like couture mixed with a casual vibe, because she’s not wearing shoes. Even more amazing is Cat McNeils Vogue cover, I love the 50s meets Rock n Roll style. The third Septmeber cover that I like comes from Vogue Portugal. It is a bit weird, because it’s black and white and Olga almost looks like a ghost, but the way the dress and her hair are blown by the wind is a real eye-catcher on a cover. I’ll definitely try to get my hands on the three magazines and will -again- skip Vogue US, sorry Anna.

No doubt, plaid shirts are great items in everyones closet, they give you that laid-back college style which I love. Model Anna Selezneva wears her plaid shirt with shorts, a Tee and her Chanel bag. Plaid and Chanel? Couldnt be much more different, but Anna makes it work! Also love her hair, beautiful color and length. Best model street style for a long time!

I found it! The best cover of the summer! And who thought it would be Alessandra Ambrosio for RUSSH? I used to think that Ale’s look is quite boring but this beauuuutiful cover and the editorial prove me wrong. Ale can be versatile. And RUSSH can come up with good covers. What a surprise. Anyways, on another note I wanna apologize for not blogging that much lately, but even a blogger needs a small summer break ; )

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…

You think only Lady Gaga could wear this? Well, aparently this lady can too! I took this picture in the Berlin Fashion Week tent today while waiting for the Starstyling show. F0r your information, it was 32 degrees celsius in the tent and already hard to breathe without a scarf covering your whole head. What do you think? Cool or ridiculous?
