Life is heavy, keep it lite with native
Mai 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Shoes, Shoes
Today I wore them the first time…my new native shoes. Granted, they are a little getting used to. But very convenient! Native was founded in 2009 in Vancouver. The shoes are out of a lightweight foam-injection, they mold to my feet.
The natives are inspired by classic, causal silhouettes, theay are washable (perfect for the weather [...]

They all wear DM’s. I love the shoots especially Shingai from Noisettes. She wears Black 1460 [...]
[espadrij] – the comeback
of the handsome espadrilles
April 22nd, 2010 · 6 Comments · Shoes, Shoes
Here you see the comeback of the 80’s espadrilles. In the 80ties there was hardly nobody who didn’t got them: the colorful summer shoes with rubber soles and plant soles. The 80ties were the true espadrille era.
Now the label [espadrij] brings the original espadrilles back. I saw them at the sneakerness in cologne a few [...]

adidas – the fashionable streetwise
April 20th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Clothes, Shoes, Shoes
My love for streetwear brands should already be known here. I prefer Adidas sneakers with elegant hi-cut stilhouette. Whether pure white or in fancy designs such as I saw on the Sneakerness.
I can’t get enough.
I’m also in love with jumpsuits for the summer. Inspired by the 80s aerobique trends, lightweight jersey and slouch [...]

Nike Air – Purple up my shoes!
März 22nd, 2010 · 3 Comments · Shoes
Nike presents the Nike Air Royal Mid VT’s. I like the way they look…as cast in the form and almost unreal. A purple-on-purple monochrome explosion tempts us with a grape-y wash that takes over soles and stitching. Are they really for wearing?
These shoes are also offered in white, you can get them from 25 March.I [...]

März 13th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Shoes
This hight-tops aren’t new, but rare in the european world of sneakers. In this version, the Adidas stripes are replaced by zippers, which are turning the
Canvas definitely into an absolute eye-catcher. Available at the Atmos Tokyo.
I found this version at the hypegallery. Back to the Adidas roots with the typical blue, red and gold.
Stay true with BAGUA

Thanks to the french label BAGUA, I can put a little Kung-Fu feeling in my step.
The story started when graffiti artist Jay One and his friends watched a Bruce Lee movie. They loved the footwear, but couldn’t find the right pair in Paris.
Till this day the slippers are based on the traditional Kung Fu and [...]
It’s just workwear
Januar 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Clothes, He ♥, Shoes
It’s great to see how work wear brings trends to life. Thinking back, the first carhartt trousers I saw…they were out of a brown, inflexible cloth. Carhartt was originally founded to make work clothing for railroad workers.
Today Carhartt is commonly found on construction sites, farms and ranches, among other job sites.
Since 2007 we girls are [...]

If I were a boy…

…I’d roll out of bed in the morning and throw on:
A soft long sleeve shirt by Salt Valley in a bold check design, a cardigan for the chilly evenings and high top plimsolls (all Urban Outfitters). A cuddly, warm Lee coat, Carhartt Baseball Sweat Jacket and some of the Boxfresh shoes.
