this week's favourite pictures!

As for my own fashion or handicrafts projects there has been nothing new during the last couple of days =( But I discovered, strangely enough, two pictures this week, which had an enormous impact on me! Very impressive pictures, as if I occasionally met two sides of how I see myself!... Okay, this is getting esoteric ;) But once I saw a girl in the streets of Berlin with platinum blonde hair and a chalk white face, with red lip stick just like "krisatomic", and I thought "Oh my, that's what I want, too!", I loved this mixture of innocent Snow White and the baroque kind of gothic style! Someday I will re-blonde my hair and have a kind of look like this:

the flea market

Yesterday's walk to the flea market was a great success for me! I found a couple of items, that are too enchanting, over all an adorable black wool-vest with flower embroideries (my friend hated it but I think it's gorgeous!). I've been looking for a cardigan like that for quite some time by now, but a vest is just as fine for me. I will probably change the buttons though, I sort of find them too pink ;)

I also bought a lovely off-white dress - very cute and romantic - a horrible scarf and a shirt with rosy prints. I close it with a butterfly brooch because it's got a deep v-neck which I don't like. The green corduroy bag I found is great but I plan to customize it so I'll post that one later... all that stuff only cost me 11 Euros!

today's outfit: black and purple

I'm not that much for this strange dots-trend which arose sometime last winter. Neither do I like the silly skull-print clothes you can find anywhere you go. Strange enough, today I found myself wearing a dotty outfit with a scarf, in which you can find pink skulls if you only look hard enough... don't ask me. I felt like dressing up a little darker as it was quite dark in the morning too, which made it hard to take good pictures. So this is the result:


It's a simple combination of an embroidered babydoll dress with a purple longsleeve, a black corduroy skirt, purple knee-highs and a beautiful black pair of Mary Poppins style vintage boots, which I love.

gudrun!

Again, and as always, I just totally loooove the new Gudrun Sjödén Collection for fall. I'm not into designers that much, but there are two or three who always manage to have some really nice ideas. Gudrun is definitely one of them. I just adore her folklore-inspired style, the natural materials and the lovely colours and prints! This time, after she was inspired by Frida Kahlo last year, she chose some Italian Renaissance styles and a dottie-line, too... seems like dots are not only floating H&M worldwide. P.S.: Notice the amazing cushions again, her interior accessories are just as beautiful as her clothes!

peace!

Today I discovered this beautiful hippie fashion site soul-flower.com. Inspired by the red-golden glistening in the trees and the late-summer air, I just felt like looking for something intense, with strong colours and a natural feeling. The shop is very hippie-like indeed but I found a couple of items which I would happily combine today =) So, this would be my look-and-feel for Wednesday:

I especially love the skirt and the bag (embroideries again!)... my, I guess I'll really have to find out the shipping costs. The items are not too expensive and it seems to be good quality, so maybe I will seriously think about buying anything listed above....

embroideries!

...being addicted to Second Hand clothing - I will never be able to resist the countless opportunities of the eBay universe! - I rarely buy new stuff, at least none that's more than 15 Euros. This week I was a lucky girl, strolling through a new Berlin mall, when my boyfriend decided to let me choose an item I'd like to have. I ended up taking two babydoll style tunics, which just looked like only being made for me (somehow I felt bad though as I didn't want to abuse the situation). I discovered them at H+M children's department and couldn't leave without them... beautiful flower prints and embroideries just capture me... I'm wearing them with curduroy volant skirts in black or red. Plus Boots. *g*
