I Am The Walrus

T-Shirt by Weekday, Blazer by Whyred, Chino Trousers by ASOS, Straw Hat by ASOS

I had to retake some pictures this weekend with some previous outfits and fell in love againwith my relatively new blazer by Whyred. Due to the very fine wool and its cut, it falls so nicely on my body and looks almost like a very light short trenchcoat. With that said, if you love blazers as much as I do, you should definitely go one step further than H&M, if your wallet allows you to – otherwise there's always a next season sale ahead.

I'll Be Your Mirror




Underwear by Acne

I've been tagged by my dear fellow blogger from Frauenzimmer. While I usually ignore those tags, I thought this subject is actually quite interesting and I'm going to answer the questions as well.

What are you getting weird looks for on the street?
Nowadays I rarely notice those looks anymore, but sometimes friends tell me afterwards and I suppose it's because of the way I dress. I don't know whether those looks are meant positive or negative though. Sometimes it's not just a look but also a comment, like are you gay or what and I find this rather amusing and quite silly to judge someone because of their style or even use the word gay as an insult.

How do you handle these reactions?
Depends on the situation. Sometimes I just ignore them, sometimes I stare back and sometimes I approach them and start a conversation.

Do you like to provoke people or stand out in the crowd?
I guess it's nice to be noticed rather than being unnoticed, which is also a reason why I have this blog. But I'm not dressing while thinking oh yeah, this will surely get lots of attention on the street. I dress the way I do because I like it and it's just me.

On another note, some people have asked me to present some of my favourite blogs, since I'm subscribed to so many with my Google Reader. There's a link on the right side called Inspiration Troves. I'm always tagging interesting blog entries in my Google Reader and then they all land in a special folder in the reader itself and you can take a look at it by following the link mentioned before.

Beyond The Hype


Hope you're all enjoying your Sunday! In case you haven't noticed yet, there's a new section called Press on the sidebar. Lookbook.nu did an interview with me recently called Beyond The Hype, which might be interesting to read, if you want to know how it all started out for me fashion-wise.

Bits And Bobs #24


T-Shirt from a Thai market, Linen Trousers by H&M, Black Wool Blazer by Whyred, Vintage Shoes


My mother brought me this no-name t-shirt from her recent trip to Thailand from some market and I just love it. I love its grandad collar and the absence of any ribbed hems. The fabric is very soft as well. Another new gem in this outfit is my new wool blazer by Whyred. I've wanted a black fine wool blazer for so long and finally found this one in their online end sale.
