Finally! After more than nine months, I restarted strassing my beloved Louboutin Peep-Toes this weekend. And boy, am I exhausted! I now remember why I stopped this little DIY project in the first place, because believe it or not, starring at the tiny Swarovski crystals and juggling with the elastic glue is not easy. But if I really want to wear these shoes again, I have to finish at least the heels. And so, after some long hours and a late night shift, I finally finished the first heel:

Zara Lookbook August 2012 - zu viel Schwarz und Weiß?
While working at my laptop, I can never resist to check out my favourite online stores or do some shopping ( I know, a very bad habit). Well, when I openend the link to Zara´s newest lookbook, I didn´t know if I had accidently gotten to Chanel´s website, because what I saw - an overload of black and white - did not remind me of Zara´s elegant and fresh style. While I love the details in this collection (studs, feathers and pearls) and the use of different textures (silk, leather etc.), I am not a big fan of the “black &…

Ein kleines DIY Projekt: Louboutin trifft Swarovski
Being a big fan of Christian Louboutin´s work, I absolutely adore the strassed version of his classic collection. I mean, seriously - with a pair of shoes like these, you could conquer the whole world :-) But since the original strassed Louboutins start at prices from € 4.000, I decided to give it a try and strass my own pair of shoes. With about 10.000 Swarovski-stones ahead, this journey may take a long time, but I am confident that the result is worth the effort. So from now on, I will be updating you every once in a while about…

UGG Australia macht jetzt auch Sneakers…?!?
While browsing on UGG Australia´s official website, I stumbled across something I would have never expected: Sneakers. Really, Sneakers from a company that is world-famous for their cozy sheepskin-boots? To be fair, the sneakers look surprisingly good. The quilted leather reminds me of Chanel´s classic 2.55 bag, and the shoe is available in a nice range of colours like tan or an eggplant purple. Being a Ballet-flats-wearer, I do not own a single pair of Sneakers. But I have to admit that UGG Australia´s “Laela”-Sneakers could easily change my mind and make me switch over to the more comfortable side…

Saint Laurent Paris: Ein Blick auf das neue Logo
With Hedi Slimane´s return to Parisian fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, the new Creative Director has made some drastic branding alterations. Above you can see the first images of the newly branded Saint Laurent Paris logo and its packaging, which takes the form of a modern and aesthetically minimal typeface. A spokesperson of the label told WWD that Slimane will use the house’s “original branding” in order to restore “the house to its truth, purity and essence - and taking it into a new era”, while “respecting the original principles and ideals”. Even though I do not mislike the new logo, I know I´m…
New In My Closet und ein paar Veränderungen
It´s been at least two years since I started my hunt for the perfect denim jacket. During this time, I´ve seen maybe hundreds of denim jackets in all kinds of varieties. But whenever I thought to have found the right jacket, something was a bit off and I couldn´t get my mind around buying it: the jackets I saw were either too short, too long, cut too boxy, too light coloured, too dark coloured, had some kind of ugly beading or were simply waaaaaay too expensive. So hopefully you get my excitement that when I walked into Zara this week,…

Die Chanel 2.55: Dokumentation einer Tasche
Sie ist eine der wohl begehrtesten Handtaschen unserer Zeit und steht für puren Luxus, zeitlosen Chic und klassische Eleganz. Dieses Must-Have begeistert Frauen jeden Alters seit mehr als 50 Jahren und gehört zu einer der bedeutendsten Kreationen der Modegeschichte. Mittlerweile ist sie nicht nur eine Handtasche, sondern ein Modeklassiker, der jede Zeit und alle Trends überdauert: die Chanel 2.55. Geschichte: Im Februar des Jahres 1955 stellt die damalige Modeschöpferin Gabrielle Coco Chanel eine Handtasche vor, deren Trageriemen für einen besseren Tragekomfort sorgen sollte - schließlich war Madame Chanel es leid, ihre Taschen ständig zu verlegen oder gar zu verlieren, da diese wie damals üblich nur mit der Hand gehalten werden konnten. So…
Hermès Fälscherring ausgehoben - Angestellte von Hermès produzierten heimlich Taschen
Na, das ist mal ein verzwickter Fall: Ein ganzes Jahr lang hat es gedauert, bis man schlussendlich einem Fälscherring auf die Spur kommen konnte, der die exklusiven Taschen von Hermès - deren Preise ab € 4.000,- beginnen - in großem Stil gefälscht hat. Dabei hat das französische Traditionshaus sehr eng mit der Polizei zusammengearbeitet. Mithilfe interner Untersuchungen bei Angestellten von Hermès wurden die Täter überführt. Die französische Polizei konnte den Ring schließlich ausheben und dabei zwei Mitarbeiter des Luxushauses ausfindig machen, die an den Fälschungen verdient haben. Diese wurden zwar umgehend entlassen, es stehen jedoch noch einige andere Mitarbeiter im Verdacht,…
