shopping not buying

It's been almost 20 days!!! I have to write more often… I'm  really trying but… you know there's always a but. 

Yesterday I went shopping with some friends and we actually didn't buy anything but we tried some stuff on.  

There is a really cool vintage shop in Munich called Kleidermarkt. There are a couple of vintage shops here but they are all very expensive. This one is the cheapest. It has some awful wedding dresses really big and white and aaaaaahh (but also cool stuff)! 

                                                                   

                                                                        

Thought that dress was size 40 it fit me pretty well. Actually I liked it but it's more a cocktail dress and I don't really need it. Thought it's soooo pretty!

A little bit a clowns dress???  I picked it out…

Carlie and Laura! Yes I have very stylish friends much more stylish than me. At least that day. Laura wore her grandma's clothes almost everything on her was her grandma's! Besides the shorts they used to be her father's. O boy I love that hat!! 

That's what I wore yesterday. I finally figured out how to take pictures of myself in my room. It was bit of a problem with were to put the camera. It looks pretty good don't you think? Anyway the most important thing is me! ( I know HUGE ego) I wore blue Jeans and a white-beige sweater. I love that sweater I bought during sales in Zara. The belt is actually a scarf I hope you noticed that! Otherwise you should go visit your oculist. 

The nail polish on the second picture is my favorite it's very springlike it reminds me a bit of juicy fruit but not too juicy.  A bit complicated I know…

blogger meets perfume

The plot is just hilarious!

morp

Kids all over the world are influenced by the american live style (junk food, t-shirts with the american flag on it) that whole thing's called globalization! We did that topic in english class (you know how boring it is to write about why you can buy stuff from china???)
Anyway since the princess diaries and Gossip Girl I have a really specific view on prom. They all describe it as a very long night with awful tasting food, boring music, idiotic company and expensive hotel rooms/suits. I don't really know what sounds worse… 

I also saw on the internet all those beautiful prom dresses. If I could choose between my grandma's closet and those dresses on the internet I would take my grandma's stuff (she actually is quite stylish). 

Last year I got the teen vogue regularly and in the april issue there were some really good pictures of prom dresses. I actually didn't think they were prom dresses. I always characterize  prom dresses as long, ugly and uglier. But those were really good. A little bit in the beach, beige and old vintage style. I would were on of those immediately.

smile don't be aggressive! -minute later- how was I? you scared the front row!!!!

I was just about to twitter that there's no way I could make a new post today but it turns out I'm much more calm than I should be! I've been doing so much lately I just haven't been blogging and I kind of missed it so I left my books (only two, one latin grammar and the book with the texts we got to translate) for my computer and now I'm here sitting on my bed in my messy room (everything's lying on the floor… as usual) and blogging. I am happy!

 Still a little part of my brain is whispering in my ear tomorrow's the test, tomorrow's the test, tomorrow's the test…

I've been wondering what people wore in the 90s around the time I was born and I remembered  this video I saw a year ago because I wanted to see what Claudia Fischer looked like on the runway. It's a total different era! And how the models walked down the runway! It was way better then, than how it's today I think. Now they just walk down the runway like some aggressive doll with their tiny body. Not really tiny but I mean they are so thin! They're tall but still tiny!

In the 90s they were allowed to laugh… 

do not do realistic

(friends took these pictures of me and the piano is one of my own)

Some inspiration for the day.  I miss summer and wearing skirts and dresses and shirts without any cardigans. Almost all of teh pictures above I've edit and turned into something more unrealistic. But summer is unrealistic now so my inspiration has to be it too.

I think this is pretty interesting I found it on the National Geographic website:

alice's magic behind the stage

It's been the premier of our school play today. I didn't think so many people would like it but apparently the audition loved it. It was a remake of Alice in Wonderland. A really modern version… When I read the first line of the script I thought (-.-.-.-_-.-.-.-) that's the next play?! But it turned out to be better than I thought… I did the costumes of the queen's kids (there was also a king which saved all the poor lads who were damned to lose their heads) not alone of course my friends Annabelle and K did a great deal of work, too ;). We barely finished it on time by working all of us three and I can't imagine doing the whole thing alone alone. The princess dress we did all by ourselves means sewing and stuff… gosh that was hard work! Even harder than school and it was an after school activity!!

As I already said the premier was today and everyone was busy and getting ready for their parts. We had to do the styling and so we were kept busy the whole evening actually. But still we found time to style ourself in the wonderland style. 

My friend Annabelle is very talented. Everything she touches becomes GOLD (sparkly and shiny as you can see in the picture)!!! 

No serious she can draw and paint like an professional artist everyone wants her to finish their pictures in Art class. And when she styles you, you really are a very lucky person because you're gonna look like a goddess or god when she's finished. 

Just look at her lips!!

On the whole table with the make up and stuff is glitter now thanks to the unicorn (which we had to style very sparkly it actually looked more like a mermaid…), Annabelle and me. 

having no brain/a brain

Remember the times when people used to ask every single student in class "What are your hobbies?" and you were all sitting in a circle because there was a new teacher, class mate or whatever? Remember also those girls wearing everything in pink and with glitter who used to answer "My hobbies…? Mmhh, ehhh… Shopping!"? If you don't remember because this never happened to you or you simply have a memory like a sieve then you probably know one-thousends girls who actually love to shop and when they would be asked what's your hobby they would answer "Does facebook count…? No…? Okay… ehh shopping…? "

My drear readers may I present the stylish girl who's interested in fashion:

Or better known as:

Yes, if you take a closer look ignoring the jewelry and the hairstyle you'll see it actually is the same person. 

Some people think when you are interested in fashion you look like that. Blond, not having brain, wearing pink and glitter or let's call it the new way Juicy Couture. They think fashion is about that's what's in Glamour, Elle and Vogue, that fashion is shopping and when you love to shop you are the fashionista. 

My hair is brown. I hated to shop when I was little and I hated pink and glitter. I still do. I don't wear Juicy Couture. I have a brain. 

Does this all make me to someone who can't be interested in fashion? 

Plus come one, me? The freaking girl who knows how to pick a lock, who's interested in computers, who's teaching herself to develop applications so she can code her own robot. Hey guys that girl likes physics! She's a total freak.

And she writes a blog about fashion. 

That's one part f me tehsience part. But there's another part living in teh same body sharing the same brain. That part loves photographie, music and acting. 

The freaking thing is just there is no part that is interest in fashion. there are only two parts of teh brain right part and left part. 

The problem is both of my hemispheres are really trained. Means I can't just live with on epart of my brain. i need both. They both make me to what I am and that is why they need a project they can do together. Fashion. 

That doesn't mean fashion is everything to me. To me everything matters. Almost everything… not that I'm a big fan of accounting… that's just not my thing.

fashion is an expression of myself. It includes both of my brain hemispheres. 

That's why I think jane is much more a fahionista than Brittany or Quinn ( for those who don't know what I'm talking about it's Daria the TV series ). She just has something you can call style. She doesn't wear something because it's trendy. She wears it because she likes it. 

But let's face it without blond, not having a brain, Juicy Couture wearing girls we would laugh less. r 

At least I got a really interesting idea what would the world be like without those girls?

Some girls wouldn't exist and the  they couldn't laugh at me anymore… What would the boys do (the not brain having ones)???  Probably continue to laugh at me cause of my hair or my clothes…

For some there would change a lot like for the owners of Juicy Couture and their employees. They would get poor and just wear Juicy Couture clothes no one wanted to buy anymore and the employes would all get fired. Sad, very sad.

-.-.-.-.-...-.-.-.-..-...-.-.-.-...-.-...-.-....-....-.-.-.-

Ahhh bonjour mes amis!

Paris fashion week is over (not that I have give it a lot of attention) and so is my holiday. 

OVER. 

FINITO.

 

IT'S THE END! 

Only the end of four beautiful days i have spent skiing, eating, watching TV and not being in the internet. It's incredible I have survived! The snow was great and the weather was even more great. But the best was doing all this with a friend. We had so much fun! But now I'm back (missing Suisse (I always get sad when I have to leave Suisse)) and I can do blogging again. Thought I really should be concentrating more on school which starts next week on monday!! Even worse is I'll have to go already on sunday so I can help at the dress rehearsal for our school play (I don't act thought I'd really love to but I'm doing makeup and most important the costumes). We've done such a cute princess dress for guess what a princess! 

Anyways I'll better get started and read all those post and comments I have missed while I was gone!

bye bye hi hi

Good Morning my dear readers!
I didn't want to leave for the holidays without saying Good bye. I'm leaving for Klosters today. Tomorrow I already will be skiing with my friend and we're gonna have the best time ever!
Now to the important part I don't know if the hotel has wifi I won't be checking my mails or comments so often. I'll try to see who's left a comment but don't be disappointed if you hear from me in one week.
Maybe you know that arte (french-german channel) has shown this documentary about designers before the shows and their lives… I read in Vogue that it was shown this past week but I didn't got to see it because I totally forgot and I didn't had so much time.
I wanted to ask if anyone knows  a site were you could watch this documentary?!?
Until in one week guys!
(or if the hotel has wifi I'll try to post ;)

they look like chemists

style.com

Isn't it sad? All those people in white coats instead of the maestro… I wonder what they think about John Galliano.

Will he ever come back to Dior?

I don't think so even if Dior would want him back if I'd be him I wouldn't want to go back to the people who kicked me out.

Will he ever return to the fashion industry?

Of course he's John Galliano! Geniuses always come back. Maybe it will take time but I am sure someday he'll be back. He has to be!!
In the meantime we can watch how Dior goes down. I hope they will because I hate them for firing Galliano!

natalie raps the bitch

Who watched the Acadamy awards?! I tried I didn't finish cause

1. I was soooo tired! For those who live in the states it's easy but for us not in the same time zone living people… we had to suffer! 
2. of a problem again all of you americans didn't have: The lifestream got kicked of the internet and suddenly I saw myself watching some spanish movie (thought I understood what everyone was saying I wasn't very happy).

So it wasn't exactly just watching the oscars night it was more like a dialog with my crazy bodymate:


                          MONi: I'm so tired! Let's go to sleep.
crazy version of MONi: Forget it you looser I wanna see who wins!
                          MONi: Pleeeease!! You can look it up in the morning! When you dreamed about Colin   Firth winning it.
crazy version of MONi:  That's not the same! Come on it's just three more hours plus minus I think…
                          MONi: When are we going to sleep?! Today?!(it already is 2 o'clock) In the office?!
crazy version of MONi: Then we could at least something useful…

                          MONi: How can you say something like that? We do plenty of useful things at the      office! We… well we don't have to go to school and that's definitely something!

crazy version of MONi: Okay you know what? I'm done with you you're not gonna ruin my night!

The crazy version of MONi grabs MONi and handcuffs her. Than the crazy version of MONi takes her to the last corner of the brain both share where MONi won't be able to manipulate the hands to shut the compter down. The body is being controlled by the crazy version of MONi! An hour later MONi is able to free herself from those handcuffs. "It's time for a takedown!", she thinks angry. She grabs the crazy version of MONi and gives her some red pills she had in her pocket. Instantly the crazy version of MONi fells asleep and MONi laughs. She shuts down the light and the laptop.

Okay enough with the bedtime stories here's what's important.


NatRap - Uncensored ;) - MyVideo

Don't you just love it? With her pixi cut and how she acts?! I definitely love it.
(The censored version is terrible all the time  you here peeeep when the red stripe on her mouth appears.)

wc and nails polish

I have already written about my internship and now I just wanted to do a quick post about my nail polish. That sentence might have just confused you a bit because you'll ask yourself what's the point?!
My mom hates this nail polish, I and all my friends love it and now I'm posting it so I can ask the bloggerworld what it thinks about it! And referring to the internship part right now I'm in the office, totally bored so I took this picture. It's one of my house plans as background. Noticed the toilettes? ;)

fb

A lot of people are on facebook. In my class everyone is on facebook except for one girl. We even have a group for our class (how weird is that discussting schoolstuff on facebook!?)! But that's not the weirdest thing.
You all know those people who are always online right? The people with the smartphones and the internet flat. They go online when they're taking the subway or the bus because in the subway your cell often doesn't work. But those are just the ones who are always online. That doesn't mean they really are online. Confusing?! Yes! I know 'cause I have an iPhone and when I got it I also got an internet flat so means when I was taking the train and my friends and I got bored and I just wanted too check something on facebook  I went online and checked out what I wanted to check out like some ridiculous picture of some really stupid kids with who I am friends with on facebook just because of I don't know why…? Then I close the app and do not log myself out because really if I would have to go online evrytime I want to check out something I wouldn't loose much time but I'm lazy so I stay online.
Now I put my phone back into my bag and totally forget about facebook 'till something reminds me of it again. 

But then there are the socialites on facebook, the real socialites. Those with the 500-900 friends. Facebook friends to be exact. (Is there actually a better name for these friends something short like ffs?) And you know what a guy I know actually said he knows all of his 480 and something facebook friends. How can you know so many people as friends?
 The girls who are in this facebook category usually have these great pictures where they absolutelly look stunning (btw often black and white so they look even better) kissing their bff on the chieks. Or those other pictures you can see all over facebook mostly on the profiles of 12-18 year olds with  girls dancing… And on these pictures these girls have also written lyrics from songs who are at that time to find in the mainstream session or not completed sentences like "having the best day…", "happiness", "dreams come true" or some cheap happy Valentin's day card quote.
 Really and this is my opinion but I think everyone who has invested a little bit of time in photography and art should know that a picture isn't a good picture if you have to write down what you want to say with that picture because that's what pictures are for.
 If a three year old kid and a teenager see the same picture of two girls laughing then they both know what this picture is about. Or let's take an italian girl and an american girl. They both speak only their mother tongue and could read a poem by Heinrich Heine ( a german poet and writer) and wouldn't understand a word. But if they both would look at a photo by Karl Lagerfeld they'd both know what it's about (unless they're blind but then we could try this experiment with music).
Actually facebook is full of ridiculous people who pretend to love to take pictures and photography but know exactly that much as a monkey. Cause give a monkey a camera and show it where to click and it'll take a picture. And if monkeys could write they'd do exactly what all those girls do on facebook. Writing  on their pictures with photoshop what the picture has to say.

Hello facebook monkeys

will be again what once was?

I'm watching Sex and the City now and can you believe that series is so old? I mean the quality of the video is definitely not HD!

 Just kidding I know sometimes I come up with my nerdy thechny knowledge. Okay not really knowledge but you know what I am referring to. The stuff nerdy kids like me talk about and bore their friends with. But what is really fascinating is what the girls at SATC are wearing. That 90s stuff?! The man like jackets in beige… Lots of women had big hair with lots of curls. Now no one has such hair because it's out… You can trust me I know what I'm talking/writing about. I have a lot of hair and it took me time to figure out that combing my hair with a hairbrush is no sense. If you have a lot of hair and curls the best way to get your hair looking good is wash it and go to bed when it's still wet/damp.

by the time you wake up in the morning your hair is curly and beautiful. At least that's my hair when I give it that treatment. It's simple and one of my best ideas.

But forget about my hair or don't whatever you like best. 

Let's talk about that episode I just have seen. That SATC episode! Season 1 episode 2 to be exact so you can look it up. It's that episode about man just dating models. They (Carrie, Stanford and Samantha) are at a fashion show and Carrie wears that black dress. It's an ordinary black dress but the jewelry is what has cached my eye. That long necklace? It isn't  really a necklace it's more like a string made out of  metal or silver. Very long (I bet about a meter and something long)… 

Let There Be Light

The picture doesn't really show how long it is but it gives you an idea how it looks. For seeing the whole outfit watch the episode. I already have looked all over the internet for a better picture. No way to find one. That kind of jewelry I haven't seen on anybody for years. It's like it has disappeared. Being on vacation somewhere but not the planet earth.  Do you think that that stuff will come back? What people wore in the 90s? It didn't always look pretty! The 60s were so much better! In the 90s women didn't always wear a bra… at least that's how it is in the series! Or do you think that someday we will walk around in dresses and skirts like in 1861? Or 1743? With a corset? I don't know but I'm curious what the future will bring for fashion.

 I actually feel a little bit like Carrie right now. Writing on my computer something very similar to a column.  

I am soo pleased that my internship has finally started. I have been looking forward to this day since my application. The internship is at an architecture office. Today has been my first day and I feel so exhausted. The thing I'm most afeard of is to answer the phone. It's terrible! But I'll have to through it I guess. It's only 2 weeks and I won't be having any classes so what do I have to complain about?

Have a good day/night/evening or morning (in that case you have my sorry) wherever in the world you are right now.

red could it be

It's been a while since my last post. I have been busy with doing my shortmovie. It's actually a school project that I'm doing with two girls (one my friend one not so my friend). I've posted this two pictures because I may dye my hair red! Crazy? I know! In the picture above the girl has almost orange hair. I think I'd like it a little bit more like Tavi's wearing it. But I still have no idea if it would suit me. I have really dark hair and really dark eyebrowns. If I'd dye my hair red I wouldn't dye my eyebrowns too, would I? I actually have no idea 'cause I haven't done it before. First of course I should have my hair chutted. A friend told me it starts to look like when I was 13 and belive me that's no compliment! So I'll call my hairdresser today or tomorrow. I still have to do so much but I should call him before next week. That's when my internship at an architecture office starts!

summer that freaking word

Sometimes I'm in the mood to draw something, to play the piano/ guitar or to write something. To day it was the writing that came over me so I leave it to you guys to read my probably not very good poem.

There is a wish inside of us that everything will be OK.

They believe that their minds will understand.

Maybe someday.

Think about all the minds are like sand.

Our thoughts lost as grain 

Running away from reality

All together in a bottle of sand

Living a life in normality

They want you because of her

they make you believe it was you

But it's true one can never be sure

I know I didn't finish it the way I should have! I just can't write anymore because I want to go to bed. So I can get some sleep for tomorrow (probably we'll have a test in french so wish me luck!) unlike the rest of the week when I have slept way to less!! 

While writing it I was listening to Little Dancer by Elton John. I'm just getting too obsessed with songs today! I've been singing Our last summer the whole day! 

I saw Mamma Mia again and since then I can't stop thinking about  that song. I don't know why maybe because of the word summer that is repeated all the time. 

Frankly I'm obsessed with the words summer, sun, sand, sea, hot and summer break (includes summer so of course I'm obsessed with that word too!). Anyway I added the song so you can listen to it if you don't already know it what would be like living in Germany without freezing in winter ( you can't avoid it whether you wear a lot of jumpers or not! Some day you wake up and just forget that it's winter and  you're late for school means you just put something on and don't really think about it. The result: You're  freezing the whole day through just because you didn't want to be late! There's only one reason why god has invented winter. Skiing!).

Get up everyone it's february! Soon spring will arrive I'll be able to get out everyday and take wonderful pictures and see the world! 

young and still old

Like usually I have to apologize for my absence. And like always I had a very good reason for not being blogging.  I always blog when I feel bad so now I actually feel bad. I wanna feel better so let's talk about seriously, really inspiring stuff. Stuff like movies. Like A single man. Whoever didn't see the movie should ran to the next video shop and get it! Seriously you have to see it. Two times at least. First time ordinary and second with Tom Fords comment on. It's amazing! Of course the clothes are awsome. You can't expect anything less than awesomeness in a movie that's been directed by Tom Ford. Especially the clothes have to freak you out.
I think most of the actors are models. They just look to good for not being models. Their bodies are just perfect. Take a look at Kenny's. He's tall, thin, has a beautiful face and a nice smile. You don't need anything more to be a model. And that girl next to him (he's girlfriend I believe) during all the scenes where she appears she just has that typical model face. This sexy acting of her mouth and her eyes.

Also Carlos! The cool guy in the clip. He's absolutly my taste although I had to learn guys like him don't fall in love with women. During the whole film the things George's attracted by flush into color while the rest of day the not important things stay grey and boring.
And also Carlos flushes, his lips, his face, everything. I love the way how Carlso moves it's this typical movement guys like carlos have. Tall, thin and unusually beautiful. They all have two more things in common these guys they have great style and don't seem to notice me. But probably it's just that they don't fall in love with women.
 Anyway let's analyse some more of the film. Like Kennys sweather! I absolutely love it. Tom Ford says they had to spray it with hairpray so it stayed fluffy.
What really is cool in the film or in generell at that time in the 60s is you were allowed to smoke everywhere. In class, bars… now I couldn't publish that very cool picture I took click here to see it in our school magazine. I wish I could live in the 60s with cool music, awesome clothes, old stuff and smoking without caring about ones and others health.

Like in Out of Reach by Gabrielle:

…those days are gone…

Okay not really the 60s but also one of my favorite movies!

fire you and your vogue

It isn't christmas anymore but why not relaxing with candles and the latest issue of VOGUE?

back for good

I am back! Back for good I think. I hope. I know I've been absent for a while. A big while actually I didn't even finish my Adventskalender. I'm really sorry about that but it happens all the time you forget to open the next door and sometimes you just forget to open the last two doors like I did. It feels good writing again. I've been sick the week after new year's and I didn't enjoy staying in bad while my brother and dad were skiing. Anyway I got my camera (OLYMPUS PEN E-P2) and I've already been out for taking pictures! I actually can't wait it gets dark later so I can go outside after school and practise. Right now I just can practise at the weekend.

Today was my first day back at school after holydays and I felt quite well. Probably just because French and Latin have been canceled.

SO I actually didn't want to write about my boring school stuff I wanted to write about this video I watched yesterday. I found it on the Sartorialist.

I', gonna post it on the bottom so first I can write about it. Of course you can fisrt watch it if you prefer.

I didn't know the appereance of the Sartorialist. I just call him the Sartorialist because I don't know his real name. (Maybe I'm going to do a little research on him later but I still have to do so much for school so I don't know whether I'll have time.)

You know he does fabulous photographs. I wish I could do that. And he doesn't look the way I have thought of him at all. He's different than all these other people who work in fashion industry. Maybe it's because he's a photographer so the man who takes the pictures of the crazy (not always but let's be honest most of them do look crazy) people. You don't know how he looks because he's the genius behind the camera like the woman in the video said. He really is genius. The photos look awesome and he walks 4 or 5 hours a day in the streets and takes pictures. I wish I had the time to do that. Well he gets paid because he has the website. But he didn't even want to be a photographer when he was young. And he just goes to the people and says: "Excuse me can I take a picture of you?" The woman asks: "What for?" And he answers he writes this website called the Sartorialist and then of course everyone knows who he is and lets him take his photo. And he doesn't has to be worried that people won't know his website because just EVERYBODY knows the Sartorialist.

Ok I think I'm getting a bit obsessed so I'm going to post here the video.

I wish I could take pictures like him. Or if I just could ask people let me take picture of them.

I'm not shy. Not anymore but it really is difficult just to take a picture of other people. They look at you and their face says "What the hell are you doing?". And that's without asking them if I can publish the pictures. Anyway I haven't taken any good pictures yet because you have to be really fast when you want to take one of a walking person. Maybe anyone here has any hints how I can try asking people if I can take a picture and publish it or just street fashion photography hints.

Feels good to write again.
