BLURRY HAZE
i like my surroundings simple. i don’t know why but i always keep going back to black and white. a play on fuzziness.
FURNITURE #1 – WIENER GEFLECHT
around the middle of the nineteenth century, austrian furniture manufacturer michael thonet devised new techniques which made the fabrication of the so-called ‘wiener geflecht’ possible. best known from the famous bentwood thonet chairs, it has become a classic in cafés all over the world.
chair from a viennese fleamarket cost 5€ and came with a plushy pink velvet cushion.
B’s NOT FOR BERLIN
Time passes quickly if you’re not paying attention. It probably didn’t help that I’ve been hobbling around with a broken foot the last few weeks. So better late than never I’m sharing some photographs from my trip to Budapest in late august. It was the perfect mix of lang walks, sipping lemonade in the sun and dancing all night in a rooftop club.
Budapest is my absolute all time favourite city hands down. Everytime I go, I fall a bit more in love with it. There is so much creativity to soak up and inspiration abound, although for me it’s mostly the rough contrasts and general great atmosphere that make me come back. I’ll spare you touristy pictures, to be true, I don’t even take them anymore. It’s always the best to explore a city off the beaten track.
So, tell me a bit about you! I’m curious, what’s your favourite city?
AUTUMN AHEAD
Thought it might be time for an outfit photo, what I wore to have some white wine and my first ever Marillenknödel in the sun a few days ago.
Been getting into fall mode recently. I found these booties for dirt cheap at the fleamarket, I love their 70ies vibe but they’re still a bit chunky which makes them perfect for my favourite season! Wore them with my favourite pleated skirt, also a thrift find, and a thick Zara cardigan because I caught a bit of a summer cold. The black bars have to do with my being not-so-photogenic.
Here’s a close-up of the shoes, I haven’t been to fond of brown up until now, but they give me lots of inspiration to dress for Fall.
PAPERMADE
I am always fascinated by artists who are able to use a certain material, completely run with it and make it appear completely different. It’s a sign of true craftmanship, I think. When my friend showed me these photos of Le Creative Sweatshop -consisting of french artists Mathieu Missiaen and Julien Morin- for WAD Magazine, I couldn’t quite believe they where actually made from paper since they rather look like plastic. But that’s the point here, turning a so very fragile material into something sturdy and beautiful which appears to actually be wearable. I’d love to feel them up in reality and wish I knew which technique Missiaen and Morin used.
