Projekt Tanzfestival: "638kg Tanz" #1 day

7.11.2013 - yesterday was an amazing beginning!

Rehearsals started early in the morning since a lot of thing were to do on the opening day. 

Luckily everything went smoothly. Later I will post some photos for better impressions-right now the preparations from today are to get done. 

<<Wednesday>>

Projekt P: #3 day

The last day started brightly, sunny and with a welcoming blue sky. Checking out after a rather French than continental breakfast I discovered the cemetery "père lanchaise". 

Later I would notice the graves of e.g. Jim Morris and Oscar Wilde. Still - a beautiful, marked by time and the passed periods cemetery with giant "sépultures" and almost withered stones. 

It was a great place to enjoy sun and silence before I met my French friend Alexandre at the Bastille for a coffee before I headed back home. I was told, that this is quite a student hotspot for evening activities and vintage clothes. Next time I want to spend more time over there!

I choose definitely train or airplane for my next visit. The traffic jams near the Belgium boarder made me crazy..

Anyway looking forward for my next Paris trip. Hopefully soon.

Projekt P: #2 day

It started as it ended the day before. My Benetton coat is still not fully dry yet but with my wanderlust packed in mind, the first real day in Paris began. 

One highlight was the sudden musical performance of four kitchen cooks and waiters in the "parc du Luxembourg". 

Enjoying some quick lunch on a bench, people started crowding around that little, green metal pavilion in which instrumental brass music was performed. 

Another highlight and recommendation for good modern cuisine was Tholoze in Monmatre. An enormous choice of wine and delicious, regional meals are for you waiting. 

Check that out next time you are in Paris!

Projekt P: #1 day

Friday - after 5 hours driving to one of my favorite cities in Europe, we finally reached the heart of Paris. 

Welcomed by heat rain I was luckily dressed in a long coat from Benetton, high top Sneakers and my Bleifrei Sweater, you know from last monday.










Windy and rainy, I was totally wet after walking around the beautiful orange illuminated Eiffel tower, that it ended up with totally wet feet. Unfortunately my last trip with those Buffalo Hight Top Sneakers.....





Jersey Jogging Trousers: BLEIFREI
Grey V-neck Angora Wool Sweater: BLEIFREI
High Top Sneakers: BUFFALO
Coat: United Colors of BENETTON (vintage)
Turquoise Bag: Emma&Jade (vintage)

(so dark and rainy, my camera was about to die....)

For a fantastic modern, french supper, I discovered "Chez Toinette" for myself. 13 tables, cozy warm atmosphere, awfully delicious wine and dishes made the rain misery go away and stressed the feeling of being in lovely Paris...

grey and bright: Last Uni October Day

Last Day of October and I went by Chance shopping with my dear brother, 

who stopped by from his Uni place approx. 300 km away from our hometown.



It was fun going shopping with him and looking for some nice flannel shirts - he really likes that cloth. 

Wandering around the city, I noticed the everyday-look from my hometowns people. 


It's rather simple and practical than experimental or funny.


What do you think of the everyday-style in your neighborhood? 


Last October Uni Style:








Cardigan: Marc Jacobs
Shirt: DKNY
Leggings: Zara
Boots: Clarks

Jewelry: my obligatory Buddhist protector bracelets from Japan and Malaysia and the necklace is secondhand from Tokyo's RAGTAG

simple denim for Uni

Hey folks, seems like my "nugging" about the weather did something good - it's eventually sunny and bright (though cold) outside. 

Still I have some problems with my camera, which is not really working lately... I wonder why.

Best weather for my most favorite BOSS Orange Sweater from 3 years ago. 

Paired with a skinny Levi's and my Barbara Bui Boots, I really feel like exploring the outside's cold instead of being in the seminars. 

For 8 degrees outside, I took my vintage United Color of Benetton Coat, and my huge Diane von Fürstenberg Shopper to get everything I need with me.

I was positively surprised how different the Bui Boots work with different cutter jeans. 


What do you think?

simple denim for work

Hey everybody - what does your weather look like ?



Fall finally made his entrance and I kissed my light, summer clothes good bye for the upcoming time. I can't remember when I wore my jeans the last time...





But - lucky me - my Barbara Bui boots from last, last FW collection fit perfectly fine into this season color's code.... look at this color:

grey and stormy: start the new week

Hey folks,
heard the new about the strong storms at the Atlantic coast in France and Great Britain. Back in here in Bochum, the deep West of North-Rhein Westfalia in Germany, we enjoy simple whistling blows of gusts without fearing bigger squalls.

Looking forward for Uni in the next half an hour,

prepared for the Business Law with a grey sweater from BLEIFREI, earings from Swarovski, golden bracelets by F21, my lucky charms from Malaysia and Japan, and the fabulous Lotus-Coloured reddish nail polish by Chanel.

Combined with brown boots (Clarks), red tights (Kunert) and and orange shorts (Uniqlo) I am ready to start into the new week.

How do you start your very last October week of the year ?

Tokyo really surprises me with that sudden change to spring. Looking back to my home tome in Western Germany, still beating degrees around 10, I feel stunned once again by this planet.

Cannot believe that with sitting in a plane for a little over 9 hours tomorrow, will bring me to summer in Australia.

How does your weather look like?

Pastel Green

If you post "green in fashion" into Google, you will receive around 1.580.000.000 scores. 


Reading about different brands launching campaigns and 
collection for a more environmental-friendly reasons.

Or health and ethical concerns. 

Amusing to see Berlin Fashion Week with the "Eco Fashion week" likewise on the top site of my google search.

Stipe shorts Outfit Contest

Which one is your favorite?

See below...

Stripe Shorts x2

And here we go for another stripe short outfit - spring is finally approaching. With temperatures around 20 degrees (according to the weather forecasts) and even more sun it enlightens one's soul. 

One post earlier I kind of declared my fascination for this freedom of choice we have in expressing ourselves with clothes, shoes and accessories. I am still wondering, when in the fashion world this time  started. 

Do you have any guesses?

Spring Patterns meet Laziness

Spring is coming.

stripes surely like color

You may have realized, that I skipped a day.

Well.. yesterday was such a heavy storm in Tokyo I did not feel like going out, neither was there time for a spring outfit... But, patience was rewarded.

Today seemed to be one of these beautiful warm early spring days, with sun all over the place. Inspired me for something orange and b/w. Though I might have catch a cold after being surprised by heavy rain yesterday..

Color me BLUE

Blue Ice.

Blue Sky.

Blue Sea.

Blue God.

Blue Eyes.

Blue harmony.

Blue "Sehnsucht".

Stripes. Shorts.

Got these lovely shorts on a shopping day in Shibuya.


Thats the first outfit I am going to wear, as soon as I go clubbing this year. The materials are feverish light, which makes moving to appear, as if you wear nothing.

Color me GREEN

Oh my lord. That was so much fun. I simple adore colours. And above all, I adore green.

Though truth is, I kinda felt like Green Lantern, one of the several comic action heroes of DC Comics. He was definitely not my favourite one in childhood days. 

My heart beat other than well-known DC Comics hero Batman, for Marvel Comics, "Silver Surfer" (kind of an Anti-Hero tough) and "Iron Man". 




It surprisingly made me pretty happy seeing my favorite childhood heroes on screen nowadays.
