Here are some photos of things I made that my boy and me took last summer.

- Nature-inspired jewellery: Little trees, branches, acorns, owls and squirrels dangling from necklaces like this one by chainchainchained are just too cute to resist.


- Haiku:
I love haiku for being able to catch the moment even better than a camera or anything else could. In addition, reading them makes me happy and lost in thought. 


- Lush:
I like how you can smell Lush-shops before you actually see them. They just opened their first branch in Leipzig and I got my hands on some “Whoosh Shower Jelly” that smells so wonderful, I wish it was edible.


- Vintage fashion photos:
Old fashion photos are mostly so much more interesting and inspiring than new ones. They aren’t always easy to find, but luckily there’s flea markets, libraries and websites like this one.


- Old keys:
Beside looking absolutely pretty (for example when being worn on a necklace), I love how keys always bring some kind of mysterious feeling with them. Because of their beauty and vintage-feeling, I guess they’ll be the next big thing after the pocket watch.

Marvellous Miranda.

Monday, January 7th, 2008

 Some weeks ago, I finally watched “Me and You and Everyone We Know”, a wonderful movie that made my head spin. Beside lots of ideas on what to do with one’s life, it contained beautiful outfits, especially those Miranda was wearing. Her look in the movie – short curly hair, (belted) vintage blouses, jeans and simple shoes – was plain, but really smart and drew my interest to her personal style. In an interview, Miranda said: “Stores can be so overwhelming and depressing. But I love scouring estate sales for treasures. There are probably enough amazing old clothes out there to last us all forever.” This quotation describes her style quite well: she often wears unique second-hand-clothes and breathes new life into these by combining them in a modern way. I think her attitude is right and it makes me happy that she hates chain-stores and loves vintage treasures just as much as I do. Anyhow, her wonderful outfits are an argument for the fact that the search is worth it.

 Vor einigen Wochen habe ich mir endlich “Ich und Du und Alle, Die Wir Kennen” angesehen, ein toller Film, der meine Gedanken angeregt hat. Neben zahlreichen Ideen, was man alles aus seinem Leben machen kann, gab es darin auch wunderschöne Outfits zu entdecken, besonders die von Miranda haben es mir angetan. Ihr Look in dem Film – kurze lockige Haare, (gegürtete) Vintage-Blusen, Jeans und einfache Schuhe – war schlicht, aber sehr schick und hat mein Interesse für ihren persönlichen Stil geweckt. In einem Interview sagte Miranda: “Läden können so erdrückend und deprimierend sein. Aber ich liebe es, bei Besitzauflösungen nach Kostbarkeiten zu stöbern. Es gibt da draußen vermutlich genug fantastische alte Sachen, um für uns alle für immer auszureichen.” Dieser Ausspruch beschreibt ihren Stil ziemlich gut: sie trägt oft einzigartige Sachen aus zweiter Hand, denen sie durch moderne Kombinationen neues Leben einhaucht. Ich denke, sie hat sehr Recht mit ihrer Einstellung und finde es schön, dass sie Läden von großen Handelsketten hasst und tolle alte Kleidung liebt genau wie ich. Ihre hübschen Outfits sind auf jeden Fall ein Argument dafür, dass sich die Suche lohnt.
