Sneak preview: CHANEL magazine

Carola

Chanel magazine first pictures

We love everything CHANEL. From bags to nailpolish and from the movie to King Karl – EVERYTHING. So hearing that the talented Olivier Zahm (Purple Fashion) will art direct and design the first-ever-magazine of the iconic fashion house is great news to us! Chanel may not be the first-mover in this but at least they do it right. The first pictures are promising!

Gotta call my sister and ask her to run to their store in Frankfurt and pick up a copy. BTW they named it “31 Rue Cambon“. It’s already a classic, don’t u think;-)?

The day after

Carola

the day after

Hanging out at my sister’s place wearing pretty much everything my mom hates to see us in. Like faux-leather leggings and animal prints… This is a rather unusual outfit for me as I tend to dress more classic. But yeah…it’s “the day after”. So I just threw on some basic tee and added stuff from my sister’s closet;-)

Cheap & Chic: Moschino

how to do moschino vintage belt

There are certain relicts from the 80’s that totally deserve a comeback. Among those: the Moschino statement belt. No need to discuss whether it’s too bold, too flashy or even tasteless: IT’S COOL! Just like Rayban Wayfarers are.

Inspired by some of our favorite blogger colleagues (Gala, Camille and Kristin from Beach Black), we pulled this look taking the Moschino belt from the 80’s to the 2000’s:

1. Belt: Moschino (vintage, search Ebay!)

2. Dress: Acne print silk dress via mytheresa.com

3. COS platform booties

4. Turban-like hat from Opening Ceremony

5. Matching pyramid ring: Kenneth Jay Lane

6. Nailpolish: Chanel Orange Fizz

Okay, I admit that this outfit is a little outrageous. But c’mon…I’d totally wear it like this if I lived in NYC. Ha…if only I lived in NYC! For all other city-girls: add a grey ovesized sweater;-)!

In-trenched

trench20

Due to my Master thesis I have been dealing a lot lately with the use of new media in marketing so I was delighted about this new, innovative project by Burberry. The art of the trench is an online platform, which was created in cooperation with the Sartorialist and which is a fabulous hommage to our all-time favourite piece of clothing. The site shows a great selection of streetstyle pictures of people wearing their trenchcoats across all major fashion capitals. Check it out here, its a great source of inspiration and it’s even possible to upload your own pics;-)

10 Corso Como goes chic-onomics!

10 Corso Como joins The Outnet

During my year in Milan 10 Corso Como used to be my favorite saturday-afternoon-hangout. Not necessarily for shopping but more to be INSPIRED. The music, the fashion, the people – all major trends could be spotted here. Carla Sozzani, former VOGUE editor and Italy’s style pope, founded this place almost 20 years ago. It is a beautifully designed concept store that hosts a great selection of designer fashion, furniture, design objects, music and books. Hidden away from Milan’s tourist area with its flashy designer-temples, 10 Corso Como has established as one of Europe’s most influential TREND BOUTIQUES. Alaia, Louboutin, Marni, Balenciaga…of course all these big names come with a hefty price tag! Luckily, the store now decided to cooperate with Net-a-Porter’s online-outlet “The Outnet” to sell one-of-a-kind pieces from past collections. Good for us!

Here are some of my favorites:

Studs and Stripes

Carola

La Coupine 1 is finally back in town and we spent some quality girls time today: a little shopping, strolling through the streets and good coffee of course. Perfect saturday!

Blazer and studded gloves

Wearing my “souvenirs” from Paris: studded gloves and a double-breasted wool-blazer. BTW this chocolate-colored vespa from the 50’s belongs to an antique store in that street. It’s great!

Close-up of the gloves

Close-up of the gloves. They are definitely the coolest accessory I own! Found at Le Bon Marché on the ground floor.

Twilight

The rest of this outfit is rather basic. I am saving the dressing-up for tonight;-). It’s Halloween (as one can easily tell by the two giant pumpkins in the background)! Have a great night out everyone!

Blazer: Isabel Marant Étoile, striped tee: H&M, wool vest: Humanoid, old skinnies, gloves: from Le Bon Marché Paris, ballerinas: Tory Burch.

Emanuelle Alt in overknee boots and shorts

Aaah this outfit really melts my little BLACK heart;-)…I am adding to the crave-list: black denim shorts, over-the-knee boots and a fitted leather blazer. Easy, right? Feel like I need to go (closet-) shopping RIGHT NOW.

Also hot: Emanuelle’s Tom Ford sunnies.

YSL rings

For a long long time now, I have been craving the YSL arty ovale ring. It is the perfect accessory to spice up each look. Just wear alone or pile them on, like the fashionable lady above from 4th and bleeker
