happy sunny Monday

... to celebrate a wonderful festival, I want you to show a colorful, casual denim style:

First day in Uni after a week and a lot of experiences inspired me on this sunny Monday.



FINALLY - my camera is working again and I can avoid Iphone-pictures... see below:

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 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:

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.

Which one is your favorite?

 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?

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?

Stripe Shorts x1

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.

Color me BLUE

Blue Ice.

Blue Sky.

Blue Sea.

Blue God.

Blue Eyes.

Blue harmony.

Blue "Sehnsucht".

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.

See below for the color flash! 

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.

Jump below...

Color me RED

Red Red Red.

Red Riding Hood. "pur pur"'s kings and queens. Blood. Roses. Cinderella. Valentino. Red Lace. Love. Hate. Force. Poland. Christmas. Chanel Lipstick. Energy. Rolling Stones. Apple. Strawberries. Japan. Orient Sun. Wine. Ruby. Mars. Fire. Santa Clause. Coca Cola. Itsukushima. Japanese Shrine Entrances. Ducati. Ferrari. Communism. Pommes d'amour. Candy. 

What are your associations of red?

Winter-Spring-Gap part 3

Going out for Shibuya, of course, weather is still not playing it's part well.

Rain. Rain. Rain.

Ah! And clouds.

Though umbrellas are pretty handy, and really everywhere in Tokyo sold in every shape, size, color you can imagine. As soon as it starts raining.

I felt too lazy though and made myself up for a fashionable "hat" instead.




This style may resemble Winter-Spring-Gap part 1 but this one has quite a pretty color-flash-moment, thanks to orange.
