Leopard Tights x2 -Break-

Two Weeks Break

Leopard Tights x1

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?

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.

 Patterns and Stripes do not go along well?

I thought so at first, but was really surprised seeing that I fell in love instantly with that black based pattern and stripes clothes. 

Overall is black a pretty thankful and giving "color". One may argue, that black is no color, but the result of fully light absorption.

Basically the absence of color.

In 1982, launching Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo outside of Japan in Paris, their style in layering and especially black is described as turning point:

"At the heart of this nothingness was the color black. Black, at the time, was a subversive choice. It was the color of mourning, of subcultural rebellion, of emotional dissonance, of artistic distemper. It was the essence of the avant-garde." (read further here: Voguepedia)

Why do you choose black?

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?

You may remember those stripe shorts from here. I thought of them with a lot of fun..

It may be my playful character, but I love to experiment and take seriousness out of outfits. Sure, I still like those elegant, clean chic styles. For me it is just amazing how easily we can adapt ourselves to one style and choose another direction in a few steps. 

Having no boundaries (but budget I guess) and being able to purchase almost everything, is one kind of freedom I am not about to give up. 

Pretty thankful for that revolutionary fashion empire unlike the e.g. 80s, as everything you could buy were a few type of pants, shirts and colours.

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.

Patterns more serious

Do you remember that top?

It is a (monochrome) Beanie Story

I was wondering: why is the Beanie suddenly so popular?

P-S-P: Playful Spring Purchase

I found something.
Something that made me chuckle when I tried in on in that shop in Harajuku.
That made me chuckle that much, i just had to have it. And here it goes.

What do you create with those?

You start playing and taking the seriousness of dressing up.

What are your associations of red?

Moto Jacket, the second

Maybe it is because I am driving motor cycles myself. 

Maybe I just like leather. 

Maybe it is just a trend that really got me. 

I really don't know, but I enjoy myself in this Moto Jacket!

And I think this is one of the most important things in fashion: that you stay authentic to your style, authentic to yourself and enjoy playing with different fabrics, textiles, brands, images and styles.

I don't think, that there is this "one" look. Our world started to spin to fast, brought too many borders down and allowed cultures to mix - latest on the internet as we saw during the Arab Spring the past years. 

But instead of making everything easier - in the end we have more things we can choose from and depending on the size of our wallets ( or at least, that's what we think, the choice barriers seem far, far away).

Colorful Basics Set 4/6

After the pink-black-intermezzo I thought of another outfit for the 6 days!

A great friend of mine (her name is Claudia, we both adore fashion and I love how our styles and identities vary sometimes drastically, but can be alike so much) saw these pictures first and encouraged this yellow combination. Truth is, I love that summer-like feeling, especially with blonde hair and orange lips. It makes me dream of heat, the smell of sun tanned skin, ice-cream and water melons. 

Can not wait for more sun!!

With the basic list, find out below how good light colors work!

Colorful Basics Set 3/6

Day 3 of my Basics Set

I really tried hard that time to avoid the black Moto Jacket and feel proud to present you an outfit with the peach/nude Tweet Jacket. Not only is the color more than thankful for wild, colorful combinations, but also really fashionable with the asymmetric and collarless cut. 

At F21 are two colors for that specific jacket - one can be seen here on my posted photos and a color that goes more into orange. I longed for something fashionable but neutral in color. 

Do you know that times, when you just need something not black to not add another color in your flower bouquet?
