glasses and something called fun

paul_smithcalle_stoltz_9brad1_1

lately you can see a lot of people wearing glasses.
like a lot a lot.
(during the fashion week the amount doubled, of course,
but this goes without saying)
and not just any glasses.
big glasses.
mostly dark framed.
you almost feel a little bit naked in this intellectual looking
crowd.
but that’s the problem with trends,
which come up fast (and furious):
once, everyone is exceptionally nerdy,
the fun factor isn’t the same anymore.
I really love glasses and the first time I saw this type
of glasses I was really charmed.
and somehow, I still am.
I can’t help it.
but on the other hand, it seems even more exciting
to see someone wearing just a random pair bought five years ago.
this would be called “vintage”, I guess.

so, let the craziness begin!
three days of colors, shapes, people,
talking and…coffee.
I’m quite sure that those days won’t
be the shortest of the year.

I’m going to keep the blog updated,
but it wouldn’t be until next week
that a player will make listening to music
smoother around here.
since, there is a good occasion in sight:
some really nice mixtapes exclusively
made for this blog. yay!

until then, I recommend warmly
shoot your gun by 22-20’s

lately my focus is set on
*skipping the small-talk
*walking in the rain
*fresh mint-tea

later my focus will be set on
*small-talk people into hell
*missing the rain
*double vodka-valium-espresso

berlin is going to be crazy this week:
fashion week and two fairs in the exact same time.
this might explain the changes above
.

touche éclat

today the balenciaga dress received the very last final touch.
the very very last.
a little bit of color to enhance the softness.

the little blue something

since we brought up the classic in fashion yesterday,
how about the classic answer when it comes to the favorite color.
blue? blue!
so maybe, it didn’t happen by accident that balmain chose this
color as a highlighter in the fall 2009 collection. within all the
black and white, it is clearly a statement.
but, wait a minute, we are not looking at bright blue t-shirts here.
this is like a sequins-dream come true (if sequins could speak up
about their dreams they would spend hours on talking about this dress).
so glittery and glossy, that you want to put it on your wall.
it certainly would brighten up the ambiance.
how clever! first you look at it and you think,
“ah…blue…you can never go wrong with it”. then, you realize
how catchy and sparkling it is. maybe you have second thoughts
like “would I ever have an occasion to wear it?”. but then,
and here comes the genius part, your focus  comes back to the
color and it is clear that “it is just perfect. it is blue, isn’t it?”

it is like someone asked you if you like croissants.
you agree. and then they show up with pains au chocolat.

the little black dress

litttle_black_dressalessandro_dal_buoni_3nick_knight_8litttle_black_dress_2drewjoe_lally_1

the little black dress is one of the things related to fashion you never get tired of.
it is not a classic, it is the classic. and I’m sure that there is a blog exclusively dedicated
to it somewhere out there (there is one dedicated to smoking, for example, so you get my point).
today, I’m willing to spare you my personal dissertation on this subject, I’m just going to
admit that the first time I saw breakfast at tiffany’s, I was quite disappointed. I do like
audrey hepburn, but somehow I liked the book a big deal more as truman capote and
his works stepped into my life. but maybe the movie deserves another try?
