Dear Readers,

This dress has the perfect colour: very very dark navy, almost black. Combined with the elegant and timeless pattern, this dress fits all my fashion criteria. What is your favourite colour?

Today I leave you with a painting by Ernest Biéler, Swiss painter and Illustrator. Deeply influenced by Art Nouveau and Symbolism, Biéler creates idyllic visions of rural life in the Valais or bans the ephemeral beauty of young girls on canvas. His works are now exhibited at the Kunstmuseum Bern in a great retrospective.

Dear Readers

This outfit is from a while ago, I really don't find any time to work on my blog... The combination is interesting, especially since the skirt is a bit too big and the shirt (it's actually a band-shirt) is quite small. I would never have thought that print-mixing works for me at all, but now I love to combine stuff that should not be combined :-)

Nights At The Circus

2011-02-19T12:34:00.003+01:00

Dear Readers

After a long winter break I'm finally back on the fashion-track. I don't own many luxury items, apart from two Ray Ban shades, which don't really count (thanks to ebay a third is on its way). Plus, I'm not a huge fan of branded items, which scream: look at me I was expensive. However, there is an exception to every rule. Behold this vintage LV bag. It is not only iconic, but it was also a present, which enhances the value of every item considerably. Due to long and loving use, the leather has darkened and with that the whole bag got an edge, which is absolutely priceless.

Raging Glory

2010-11-21T21:04:00.003+01:00

Dear Readers,

Last weekend was spent in decadence, meaning I went to London. There are no words to describe this city, it is not beautiful like Paris, majestic like Stockholm or charming like Florence. London has an edge, it is raw, buzzing urbanity under an impermeable grey sky. But around each random cornder, there can be spots of great beauty.

Coming back to the outfit. Since camel is the new black, which is basically my favourite colour, I decided that London was the right place to try and see whether I could actually wear it (the outfit as proof of my verdict).

Today I leave you with Lord Frederic Leighton.

Dear Readers,

Something very simple, just a sheer blouse and black pants. But there are days when everything seems too much and focussing on the essential is everything. The picture fits the season that is descending on us. I don't have a problem with snow, but with days and days of grey skies and rain (good for studying though).

Das Märchen vom Froschkönig

2010-11-06T16:04:00.002+01:00

Dear Readers,

Alas, a lot of time has passed since my last post. I didn't really have any inspiration and all the pretty clothes in my wardrobe looked boring to me. There is such an overflow of glittery dresses displayed in the stores of my dull little hometown that my eyes started to hurt. But I found this specimen (the dress, not the frog) at H&M and must say I really like it. Just enough glamour to tone down with a cosy sweater. Next Thursday I'm off to my favourite metropolis of all time, guess where...

I have been featured in the online magazine hypeed (again, yay!) with my preppy look. Here I just threw together some old pieces from my wardrobe and one of my favourite skirts in order to put something Blair-Waldorfish together. Berets are a classic piece of clothing and I have been wearing them since kindergarten (no kidding, I was pushed around because of it :-)).

Finally a new post! I ordered this gorgeous dress for my birthday and I just adore the combination of black lace and pinkish roses. I was never sure whether this skirt-lenght suits me at all (I'm relatively short and therefore no long legs to show off :-))... But in the end I decided that I can wear whatever I want as long as I feel comfortable in it. Feel free to send me e-mails if you have any questions or suggestions for my blog!
