I stumbled across Karen’s blog, Dreamin’ The Life, and her incredibly poignant and insightful post of ‘27 things I’ve learnt in 27 years’. It got me thinking, what had I learnt in my 23 years? I don’t feel particularly wise at all and feel I have so much to see/learn/do/go, but as Karen said, “sometimes you have to stop, and look back and realise you’ve come a long way.” Traveling …
Is there any country or state in the world you hold dear? A place you love so much, you’d love to carry it with you everywhere you go? A tattoo is an option, but a less painful alternative are the beautiful necklaces made by Stevie, a lady from Chicago, who sells handmade silver country jewelry at her Etsy shop. She recently quit her day job to create silver pieces, that …
Singapore has to be the smallest, but busiest and most bustling Asian country I’ve been to. It blows your mind how modern and Western it is despite the blindingly intense heat which makes half your body water sweat out in five minutes and the other half boil away in your blood.
It’s extreme cleanliness (chewing gum bans, limited smoking areas, cigarette butt fines, no eating or drinking on public transport) and …
Train rides seem to be made for quick romances, or at least they build the perfect setting for one. Although the train in this editorial looks nothing like our ICE and people are far to well dressed for travelling it makes me want to back my leather suitcase and start my trip to an unknown destiny.
This is from Vogue’s February 2010 issue, staring supermodel Natalia Vodianova and Sean Combs …
Lost somewhere and not having a map or an Iphone? Apperantly there are still a few people without this seemingly indispensable tool for survival, but who needs an Iphone if you can find your way simply by looking at your dress? All you might need is a small mirror in order to view the more difficult angles on your backside.
“Les Robes Geographiques” that’s the name given to the collection by …
Whether it’s Paris, New York, Berlin or London, each city is different and identified by a strong eclectic culture of people, music, food and yes – fashion. I am not referring to the local designers but to the everyday people who, through their clothes, express their individuality as it was shaped by the culture around them.
Luckily we live in a day and age where we can refer to blogs to …
Show me your suitcase and I tell you who you are. There’s a lot that can be done wrong when travelling. Outfits should be thought through. Suitcase colours matching the colour of your skirt; perfect! You never know who will pass your way, or even sit next to you in an airplane. (Last example seems to NEVER occur. It’s probably all made up for those cheesy love romance 2,00€ books. …
Dear travelettes,
the other day, my blogger-friend Susie G took me to a fashion party of the NY-based label Boxing Kitten presenting its latest collection. The clothes are vintage inspired with colorful print reminiscent of Africa. Boxing Kitten designs have recently been spotted in Rihanna’s Rude Bow video, on Solange and Beyonce and many other fab pop stars. Estelle even came to the party in a Boxing Kitten dress. Great dresses …
I love big cities. Having grown up in a town too small for my ambition I have spent the last 10 years of my life living in Paris, London, New York, San Francisco and various other capitols of the world.
Obviously I have closely observed the fashion trends in each of those cities and will try to give you a good clue which sort of outfits are “very Paris”, “very Berlin” …
Dear Travelettes,
Depending on where you live, the weather right now is still not really saying spring, let alone summer. You might wake up to a few rays of sun in the morning but once you step outside you freeze, like you’ve been freezing for months now.
