searching for water...

It's hot. And humid. The only thing my mind can think about is to lay down in cold water or to sit in the fridge and drink some ice-cold ginger ale. Clothes are needless. Unless you're under water. Like these beautiful ladys in their charming dresses photographed by Alix Malka. Sometimes I wish I was a mermaid. Waiting for the seasons to come back...

let's go hiking with style

I promised to go hiking. The Black Forest is waiting for us and I just tripped over the perfect bag!
The Japanese brand nanamica is working together with the Norther Face on their Purple Lable Collection, which is awesome. Colours, patterns, unique styling for an outdoor brand. I would love to have this bag, but they are just available in Japan...damn. Who is going some time soon to Japan and can bring me this wonderful bag?

afternoon at the beach

Passionfruit with Vodka, Stella beer, Whiskey and the sea. A lot of naked skin, stupid tiny jellyfishes and sand. Our waiter was wearing this incredible vest from India which I really adore. Maybe I should go back there and ask if he wants to dump it cause I need this vest.
Wish you all a nice weekend!

my new toy

I already wrote about "Mull Halul", but not what I found there... So here is my new baby. It's a huge raffia bag, with a really nice pattern, a leathertop that you can close and leather handholds. It's so big that I could carry my cat and all his little friends. Now I need in my bag small bags to find all my stuff. But hey, I don't care cause this bag is exactly what I want. And all that for around 15€, what else could I ask for?

washed-out colours

Wendy Bevan is one of my favorite photographers, her pictures are impressive, the colours are stunning.
I really love those washed-out colours. They let me daydream...

Timeless jewelry

I found this beautiful necklace on a market in Hertzelia. This nice piece is made out of old watch parts and every piece is handmade and one of a kind. This young talented man is making out of trash, wonderful, moony jewelry. There is something for everybody, if you're a man or woman, it doesn't matter, cause he has earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pocketwatches and rings for all genders. I'm official a fan now! Probably you too, soon. Steampunk Jewelry - DoBerMan Follow my blog with bloglovin

Going back home

We found an apartment. Back in the west of Stuttgart, in a house from 1902. I'm so excited...Tuss our lovely fashionable cat, my wonderful boyfriend and I are going to move! In around a month, what sounds like eternity, we're flying back over the sea. He's going to carry a cat and I'm going to carry clothes...a lot of clothes. But till then we have some time, which we use for finding the perfect phone. These two made it in the last round, the red highheel or the green apple? What do you think???

second hand heaven

I expected something fantastic, but what I found just knocked my socks off. It was beautiful and idyllic. The hippie in me felt instantly comfortable, cause this lovely store is located in the Kibbutz Givat Haim Ichud, close to Natanya, and I really like this way of living together. "Mull Halul" - what means - across the chicken-coop, is really a gold mine. They have dresses and asseccoires from all over the world and all time. For me, it was almost too much. It's like you're 5 years old and your mummy tells you that you're allowed to play with all the dolls in the show glass. From Art nouveau weddingdresses and coats, sixties clothes to eighties shiny shoulder stuff, beautiful nightwear and bags. For me it was a complete success, but I'm starting to get worried about my suitcase weight...cause I always forget that I want to take all my clothes back. That's why I have now an official, don't buy more clothes note. Damn!

 

 

 

desert

Today I learned some important stuff.

1. Don't go to a doctor when he's under time pressure and 2. It's too hot for accessoires, but I couldn't get out without my new awesome long linen vest, which I found in a small second hand shop in Hertzelia. I searched long for a nice piece like this, now I just have to wait for my golden pocketwatch to find me...Can't wait till tomorrow, cause we're making a trip to a huge second hand collector. Feeling like a pirat just before treasure island.    Ho ho!

These ladies are adorable! A big inspiration for me.

Last Summer This Summer

Last summer I bought this dress. Twice. In blue and in grey. Everyone was wearing it, but I didn't care, cause this dress was just awesome. I wanted it, I needed it and for around 10€ I couldn't say no. But this summer everything will be different! Another country other fashion and my dress will rise up again. I'm so looking forward to bring all my new clothes home and to introduce them to my already full but waiting and me missing wardrobe. Let the games begin. Cause I can't wait!

changing

After I've received some sad mails from some of my English speaking friends I decided to switch languages. So here my dear friends, now everything in English. I love u all and hope to here from you!

Süchtig nach Mustern

Ok, ich muss ehrlich sein, ich habe ein Problem. Ich bin süchtig.
Wenn ich Karos, schräge Muster oder geile Prints sehe muss ich sie einfach haben. Mittlerweile ist es schon so weit, dass ich nur noch gemusterte Sachen habe, was mich vor neue Probleme stellt, denn nicht alles passt zu allem. Eines meiner absoluten Lieblinsteile ist diese Pan Am Tasche die ich mir in Amsterdam für ca.20 € gekauft habe. Hat die richtige Größe und das richtige Muster, wenn man dann mal nur eine Jeans und ein Shirt anzieht reißt die Tasche alles raus! Deswegen, seit mutig, bekennt Farbe und Form!


Addicted to patterns
Ok, I must be honest, I have a problem. I'm addicted.
If I see checks, crazy patterns or awesome prints I must have them. Meanwhile, the time has come, that I have just clothes with patterns, what brings me new problems, cause not everything fits to everything. One of my absolute favorite pieces is this Pan Am bag, which I bought in Amsterdam for about 20€. It has the right size and the right pattern and if you wear just jeans and a t-shirt the bag saves your outfit! Therefore, be fearless, confess to colors and shapes!

Fragments

Finally my first exhibition in Tel Aviv! It was also the first exhibition of the artist Naomi Mendel and in my opinion a great sucess. Her paintings showing cutouts of buildings, reflections and views through bottles. The paintings are full of little details which combine with the colours like a puzzle. With her 28 years, the artist has put together an impressive exhibition. I really liked the second picture, but I didn't have enough change...






Endlich, meine erste Vernissage in Tel Aviv! Es war auch die erste Austellung der Künstlerin Naomi Mendel und meiner Meinung nach ein voller Erfolg. Ihre Bilder zeigen z.B. Ausschnitte von Gebäuden, Spiegelungen und Blicken durch Flaschen. Die Bilder sind voller kleiner Details, die sich mit den Farben wie ein Puzzel verbinden. Mit Ihren 28 Jahren hat die Künstlerin doch eine beachtliche Austellung zusammengestellt. Am liebsten hätte ich mir das 2. Bild gekauft, mir hat jedoch das nötige Kleingeld gefehlt.

will ich haben.jetzt.sofort.

Wow. Ich liebe einfach dieses Kleid. Der Druck, die Farben, der Schnitt, einfach PERFEKT. Mehr kann ich dazu nicht sagen. Bin wie verhext...

Wow. I just love this dress. The print, the colours, the cut, just PERFECT. I can't say more about it. I'm jinxed...

Wer hätte das gedacht?

Meine Freundin Beth findet allwöchentlich geile Kleidung im Müll. Ja - richtig gehört - im Müll. Am Anfang fand ich es erst ekelhaft, aber nachdem ich sah, was sie sich alles zusammen gesammelt hatte, war ich doch schwer begeistert. Ich selber hatte nicht soviel Glück damit... nie hat mich der Müll angelächelt. Aber heute geschah es! Auf dem Weg zum TachanaMerkasit (Busbahnhof), sah ich ein paar Männer die Klamotten und Müll aus einem Haus trugen. Und was haben meine Augen in dem Müllhaufen erspäht? Diese 3 geilen Teile! Bin dann auch direkt zum Waschsalon gerannt um die Sache zu waschen. Danke, an meinen tapferen Freund, der die Klamotten aus dem Müll fischte...
Found all these pieces in the trash!!!









Hier trage ich ein türkisenes Hauspullikleidchen mit schwarzem Glen check Karo,Reißverschluss und einen breiten Bund am Saum. Das Ganze habe ich mit einem einfachen schwarzen Gürtel aufgepeppt. Sieht doch scharf aus!? Trägt sich auch super angenehm...










Dieses Kleid ist wahrscheinlich mein Favorit, obwohl ich das erste Kleid auch echt super finde. Es hat eine schöne Webtechnik und ist voll mit meinen Lieblingsfarben! Grün, lila, türkis, schwarz und zusätzlich sind noch Goldfäden miteingewebt. Sieht halt einfach toll aus das Kleid, diesmal mit dem Gürtel auf der Hüfte.












Das letzte Fundstück ist ein schwarz weißer Blazer mit schrägem Rauten Karo und grünem Saum. Hat einen richtig schönen taillierten Schnitt...
Macht ein bisschen das Auge krank, aber ansonsten ist der Blazer auch echt nich ohne!

Als Fazit muss ich sagen: Es hat sich gelohnt, ich habe mich noch nie so über Kleidung für umme gefreut! Auch Müll kann glücklich machen!

In memory of Halina Jakubowski 30.8.1922 - 6.1.2009

Already with 4 years I learned that the best dressed woman was my grandma, no one else had such a sense for colours, shapes, patterns and cuts. When I was about 10, her wardrobe with all the hats, dresses, bags, jewelry and shoes was just pure madness. There was nothing better. And to show you all what a fashionable woman my grandma was, I decided to pay hommage to her in my blog.











ca. 1959 in Israel

One of my favorite pieces, is this this tiny delicate gold watch which I received from my grandma and I actually wear it every day cause you should always know what time it is! And the best part of the clock, it's automatic, sometimes it just stops the time. And that is a nice feeling...
