Voila, a small selection of my favourite streestyle inspirations for Spring:

I believe everything Jeans is gonna be huge! Jeans shirts, jackets, patched up Jeans like the ones from Chloe and playsuits ( I fell in love with this one from ACNE)…

…then there is gonna be lots of beige & khaki and flower prints (go Vintage for that look!)

…and some of our favourites from last seasons like sharp shoulders, leopard and good old chucks in bright colours.

What do you think are the essentials for Spring?!

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;-)!

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;-)

This new project is a brilliant marketing concept and it’s great to see that our favourite bloggers are gaining ever more influence in the fashion industry. On a smaller scale, Lacoste has been working on a similar project together with the Facehunter. So we hope to see more of such work in the future!

As for the trench, Les Coupines just love this most versatile (check out our Summer version of the look) and chicest of all clothing pieces, which is key to each wardrobe. If you are not able to splurge on the Burberry version, there are some other great alternatives by ACNE, Twenty8Twelve and Topshop!

The first impressions of the new Alexander Wang collection for Spring 2010 really surprised me: here I had  expected yet another grunge inspired collection with lots of black leather and sexy denim. However, Alex turned to a more sporty theme, without compromising his usual sexiness, though. Inspired by his collaboration with the GAP earlier this year, he stayed true to the all-American sportswear spirit. He used lots of khaki and grey, red and white rugby stripes and brown leather, all spiced up with some pretty hot leopard peep toe booties. There was one particular elemenent of his collection, which immediately caught my attention: aviator inspired pieces like an aviator cap, a great jacket and little applications all in caramel-brown leather.

I always had a thing for the aviator look, so I started thinking of how to work the look for the upcoming season already…

The first thing coming to my mind was this great streetstyle shoot by Garance . I love it how the Swedish girl combines the black aviator cap, with a dark green bomber jacket and a cozy scarf to create a perfect autumn version of the look.

I also found some other great pieces in true aviator spirit:

1. Acne leather jacket Rita
2. Round sunglasses by Dries van Noten and Linda Farrow
3. Aviator cap by Stetson via Hutshopping

Plus, already start looking for great aviator inspired pieces in vintage stores and flea markets, so you will be ready to rock the Wang Look next spring!

Hayashi in Frankfurt is one of our all time favourite stores. Shop owner Kerstin has a great sense of style and always puts together a very fine selection of designer brands. So I was thrilled to be invited to a little fashion show hosted by Hayashi in cooperation with Acne.

The event took place last Friday and was full of inspiration: Think super stylish crowd + great pieces from the new Acne collection = perfect mood setting for the new season!

Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, but I “stole” some pics from the Hayashi blog to share the evening’s highlights with you!

On this last picture you can see the lovely Hayashi team + the models, who had the coolest hairstyling and make-up!

By the way, the attentive readers (or those among you, who like to play “where’s waldo”;) ) might have detected me in the background of some of the pictures. You won’t be able to see it, but (of course!) I was wearing one of my favourite Acne dresses!

Voilà, some of my favourite summer looks! As with Carola, my colour palette is rather neutral with lots of black, white and grey…spiced up with some pops of gold. This summer I practically live in my jeans shorts, which I dress up with a blazer and heels or down with my favourite Miu Miu gladiators and a simple tee. Did I mention that I spent most of the time searching for the perfectly fitting white t-shirt? Sometimes, the simple things are the hardest to find…!
