i have been blogging for almost three years now and one of the companies that has been with me from the very beginning is zalando (check out one of the first posts ever i did with them two years ago!).
it’s a company that i got to know on the business side, but also on a very personal level. this summer i was part of their amazing summer house and spent not only time with incredible bloggers but also with their team, that is full of lovely young people. this month it’s zalando’s second birthday (they might count in cat years!) and they have loads of promotions and a give-away waiting for everyone! they have also paired up with jung von matt for their campaign with bar raffaeli.

pinko is a brand i got to know when i lived in milan and i really love them (especially their skirts that are perfect for short girls like me)! the material is incredible, the designs look really high-fashion and the price is affordable for girls my age. the brand also produces a lot of their garments in italy, such as this skirt, which i appreciate a lot. pinko is known for fast forward concepts such a their hybrid store which was one of the side events at milan fashion week that i didn’t skip. it’s a store in corso venezia (close to the milanese dome) that offers regular shopping and online shopping right in one place. so you get to physically try on stuff but also there’s huge screens on which you can order additional items matching your pieces. it’s so creative and so spacy – that’s definitely how the stores of the future are going to look like!

i still remember the H&M collaboration she did (dang, makes me feel old!) and always dreamed of owning something designed by her. and then. all of a sudden i saw these slippers. and it was like that little cupid dude in his diapers shot 1000 arrows through my heart – i needed to have them! few days later they were mine. can you guess how proud i am?
