While the Peplum Dresses look gorgeous on skinny girls, I think in my case they just add volume where I already have enough of it. But they are beautiful to look at anyway and one can already feel the new MadMen Season approaching …
Africa’s influence and importance can be felt more and more, especially in fashion. While Marc by Marc Jacobs SS 2010 Collection already lead the way (yes, and YSL well before that), this years fashion shows have almost all picked up something tribal. With the Marni for H&M Collection, African “Pagne” have also received the seal of high street approval. It’s funny to think that when I was wearing my bf’s large shorts made of a beautiful and colourful pagne ivoirien two years ago, people were staring at me while just a week ago they were storming H&M to snap up one of Marni’s african inspired designs. 
On my shopping list ...
Over the years, I amassed an impressive collection of mostly fashion jewellery, also due to the fact that I just can’t bring myself to throw anything away. I end up not wearing a piece for a certain time and rediscover it to fall head over heels in love again. Unfortunately, I like big bulky jewellery and have not found yet a good way of displaying them (my flat is not that big) or to store them. As a temporary solution I am using tool boxes with lots of tiny drawers. Not very stylish but it keeps necklaces from tangling up in one big hot mess. I am still looking for the perfect jewellery storage…
I saw clutches from the Designer Dareen Hakim over at Boticca and totally fell in love with her clutches. Aren’t they amazing with the Arabe engravings?! Hopefully my friend H can soon say mabrook to me;)
When I was in Berlin I came across the OnePiece shop at the Hackescher Hof, one of my favourite spots in Berlin. If you’re not sure if you can pull off this look, just follow Brad’s lead…
