BERLIN FASHION FOU

DESIGUAL X BERLIN FASHION FOU | LOOK ONE | #EXOTICJEANS

An so einem regnerischen Tag wie heute über Farben zu schreiben ist gar nicht so einfach. Wenn man sich einen Augenblick ans Fenster stellt, um hinauszusehen, wirkt alles überwiegend grau und trist. Das Wetter macht es einem schwer an Muster, Farben und „Andersartigkeit“ zu denken. Aber genau damit assoziieren viele das spanische Label Desigual. Im kalten Berlin sind bunte Farben ja eher eine Ausnahme. Umso interessanter ist es, dass mittlerweile 8 Desigual Stores in der Hauptstadt vorzufinden sind - und mindestens genauso viele Berlinerinnen und Berliner aller Altersstufen, die mit den bunten Designs der Firma durch die Stadt laufen. Ich bin der Meinung, dass es immer eine willkommene Abwechslung ist, wenn Menschen sich unterschiedlich kleiden. Schließlich trägt auch die bunte Mischung an individuellen Kleidungsstilen zum Charme einer Großstadt bei. Wer meine Social Media Kanäle schon einige Zeit verfolgt, wird bemerkt haben, dass bunte Farben nicht unbedingt zu meinen Favoriten gehören (Es sei denn, mann möchte Schwarz und weiß als solche zählen).

Als ich vor einigen Wochen vor die Aufgabe gestellt wurde meine Lieblingsstücke aus der #ExoticJeans Kollektion zu stylen, war ich mir nicht so sicher, ob mein persönlichen Stil mit den Designs der Firma harmoniert. Ich war also umso überraschter zu entdecken, dass viele der Kleidungsstücke im Onlineshop zwar mit Mustern versehen sind, allerdings trotzdem sehr schlicht wirken. Zugegeben, die ausgewählten Teile sind keine großen Farb-/Mustermixe, aber sie brechen trotzdem aus meinem Schwarz-weiß-grau Schema aus. Für meinen ersten Look habe ich mich für eine blaue Culotte mit Stickereien entschieden. Zum einen, weil blau keine „zu gewagte Farbe“ ist und zum anderen, weil Culottes bei kleinen Frauen fast immer eine gute Idee sind (denn sie strecken einen optisch und sind dabei auch noch unglaublich bequem! -> Also perfekt für Menschen, die ungern Jogginghosen in der Öffentlichkeit tragen (hier!). Die Bilder hat übrigens meine talentierte Freundin Tam Anh gemacht. Ihr solltet wirklich mal auf ihrem Instagram vorbei gucken! Sie hat einen tollen Blick für harmonische Winkel und Farbzusammenstellungen.

OOTD | UMSCHWUNG | CASIO | SAMSOE SAMSOE

Hallo meine Lieben. Ich habe vor kurzem spontan entschieden wieder einige Artikel auf Deutsch zu verfassen. Das liegt zum Großteil daran, dass ich in den letzten Wochen kaum (ok, sind wir ehrlich... gar keine) Artikel verfasst habe. Ich habe kürzlich einen Artikel über Sportwetten gefunden, also habe ich beschlossen, einen Artikel zu schreiben, der die besten Sportwetten auflistet, mit denen Benutzer wettanbieter vergleich vergleichen können Finden Sie zuverlässige Websites, um auf ihre Lieblingssportarten zu wetten. Ich bin jetzt offiziell fertig mit der Schule und das bedeutet leider auch, dass ich nicht mehr so viel Englisch spreche, wie ich es gewohnt bin. Es kostet mich mittlerweile einige Mühe die Posts auf Englisch zu schreiben (auch wenn ich noch immer der Meinung bin, mich besser in English ausdrücken zu können...leider ist es auch zeitaufwendiger). Die Lösung? Ein Mix aus beidem. Klingt blöd, ist es vielleicht auch. Aber es wird mich ermutigen wieder ein bisschen aktiver zu sein. Ich habe im letzten Jahr so viel Arbeit und Energie in diesen Blog gesteckt, dass es natürlich schade wäre, wenn ich keine Zeit/Motivation mehr finde, um produktiv zu sein. Besonders weil ich trotzdem fleißig weiter gearbeitet habe. Eines dieser Projekte möchte ich euch heute gerne zeigen. Zusammen mit Bold habe ich eine kleine Kooperation mit Samsoe Samsoe und Casio gestartet. Auch wenn das Wetter in Berlin nicht mehr so mitmacht, haben wir (manchmal) wirklich schönes Wetter. An einem dieser schönen Tage habe ich zusammen mit der talentierten Celine von @celineiam und Sylvia von @beauteenvue (Instagram) die Sonne genutzt, um ein paar Bilder zu machen.

Hey there! You can see that this article is written in German as well. You guys might have noticed that I haven't been as active lately. Why? School is officially over and I don't speak as much English as I (am) used to. Since writing the articles in English takes waaay longer then to author them in German, I decided to do it both ways. That sounds silly? Yes, maybe it is, but if it helps me to be more active/productive I will try to make it work :) I just feel like it is "easier" to simply translate the texts after writing them instead of noting down a complete (new) article in English. But anyways... Even though I haven't been as active in sharing my projects on the blog (haha, you guys should check out my Instagram) I still took my time off to work on a couple of new projects. One of them is an exciting new cooperation with the brands Samsoe Samsoe and Casio. We don't have the "perfect" weather in Berlin, but sometimes it can be pretty nice over here. On one of those beautiful days the talented photographer @celineiam, the make-up artist @beauteenvue and I decided to benefit from the good weather by going out and taking some pictures. Check out our outcome (and of course their awesome Instagram profiles!)

Diamant | JUNA+ EVENT | E-BIKE | GUIDO MARIA KRETSCHMER

I hope you guys are having a nice start into the weekend. Today I would love to share an event with you guys that I've been to a couple of weeks ago. The brand Diamant released their newest creation the Juna+ E-bike in Berlin. The party took place at the all-known music hotel NHow that I've always been a fan of. It is a really individual place with an exceptional concept (and you should take a moment to Google it, just a little tip from a Berliner..) The guests had the chance to join a bike tour around the trendy Friedrichshein neighbourhood before the brand ambassador Guido Maria Kretschmer gave a short speech to the audience. The booming demand for e-bikes and their use is increasing, and their stock price is also skyrocketed recently. Through best stock apps 2022, it's possible for anyone to trade stocks based on the highest demand shares. Sadly, I missed the bike tour (and I have to admit that I did regret it after Nelly told me about the fun time she had, riding the bike and discovering new corners of our beloved city). The brand Diamant manufactures bikes "Made in Germany" since 1885, which is pretty special and I have to admit not cheap. However, if you consider the work process, you end up realizing that they actually have a reasonable price.

Furthermore, I have to admit that we had to leave the event a bit early as we planned to attend the opening of the Dandy Diner fast-food restaurant. However, we did regret it in the end...when we reached the location we had to realize that there was no way to get anywhere close to the doors. Whatsoever. I mean, who would have expected that the place would be so crowded that the police had to show up? Believe me I did not. But if you really think about it.. the boys from Dandy Diary are known for their crazy parties all around town. Anyway, we missed the Press presentation at 6pm and when we arrived at the location around 8 o'clock it was impossible to see anything. That's when we decided to go for dinner somewhere else. Haha, just a funny anecdote at the end : When I woke up the next morning, even my mom knew that the opening escalated as the information was all over the news.

WHITE ON WHITE ON WHITE | REAL TALK | THIS HIDEN PLACE

Real. What is real and what is not? Love is real. Real is friendship and real are the people that stand behind you no matter how things are going.
I really don’t know why I feel so weird lately - things need to be so ,,profound” recently. I am officially done with school and I feel like there is a certain sense of (maybe) ,,change” in the air. But a step forward always means dealing with your past as well. It makes you contemplate on all the moments that brought you to where you stand now. But where do I stand now? I guess that's the essence of the problem. Have you guys noticed this certain ,,getaway place” that each one of us flees to at some point of our journey? What I want to say here is that we tend to build this little cage around us in order to protect ourselves. Maybe even to blind us from the things that really matter. Those things that might end up hurting us. And Furthermore, maybe we distract ourselves because we want to ,,create” this little fake happiness. I mean, if we would take the time to really think about the important stuff we might end up disappointed. I guess that's why we escape to a place where everything is alright, no matter how the world actually looks like. I don’t know if I am going too far, but I am pretty positive that each one of us has this defence mechanism, somewhere deep inside. My thoughts use(d) to glide far away every time that situations got to emotional or complicated… towards situations that took place somewhere far away. I think we don't realize how precious thinks are or used to be until they are not like that anymore.

"One day, you're 17 and you're planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life."

This quote is quite out of topic (but what is the topic of this article anyways, right?) but I read it quite awhile ago, back then when I just turned 17 and when I was sitting in my little room in BC, Canada. Haha, around that time I was adjusting to a couple of situations. I was struggling because this one person was not there anymore and also because two precious people might not be ~~(as they used to be)~~ there when I finally pack my bags to fly back home. Looking back from my perspective now I have to say that it might have been the wrong decision to leave the country back then. Around that time things got pretty complicated. But as the time has already passed and won’t come back regardless of however much I want it, I have to accept the things as they are now. It’s funny in a sad way how fast life can change you know? You could almost describe it as ,,moody” in a certain way. I mean, one day you wake up and things are completely fine and the next day the two people that you love most in the entire world are struggling with the ,,real” things - with their dear lives.

In situations like that each day ends up to be precious and sometimes even perfect. I mean, of course, every day that we have on this earth is special, but some things make you realize that even more. Back then this certain situation seemed to be so far away and I am not talking about the 4.000 kilometres between Canada and Germany - I mean emotionally. Sadly, passed time won't come back and sometimes you need to give yourself some space to process everything and then find your ,,balance” again. As I already mentioned … Lately, I feel like there is a certain ,,sense of change" in the air. I feel like the seasons are changing and with them the spirit in town does as well.
