MIU MIU FW 2013

the sad thing about fashion events in vienna (and probably in many other places too) is that 90% of the people there are going to drink champaign, eat food and show off their fur coats. same in vienna a few days ago, when i went to see miuccia prada’s latest (well not so much latest) strike. people didn’t really seem interested in the pieces around them, which is sad for them, because this collection is REALLY worth looking at.

a collection fully set in nostalgia: sailor coats, dotted handkerchiefs and striped stockings – many items that we have seen in the first half of the 1900’s. there’s some comic like keys and a hint of pop art. a collection that once again states that miumiu is unlike many traditional brands such as burberry or louis vuitton, that never go far off their classic line, but has the courage to develop collections with twisted concepts that as confusing as they seem at first, work in the whole scheme.

as i told you in this post i have been very much obsessing over navy colours and powdery pinks combined with a twist of the 50ies.
as temperatures in vienna have fallen again AND i was invited to see the current miu miu collection (which is very similar to what i was wearing.. no that is not a coincidence!) i was very glad to be able to pull of such a particular look. stay tuned for more photos of the event.

MY CORSICA PHOTO DIARY

BE AWARE! MASSIVE PICTURE OVERLOAD!! Sorry guys but I really couldn’t make a smaller selection. I feel so overwhelmed by the beauty I have seen an experienced the past two weeks that I want to share it with all of you!The boy and I took a roadtrip through Corisca (we really did drove all over the island), slept in a tent and believe it or not I am the first one to enjoy not having internet, no laptop, putting on no make-up, waking up in a tent every day and cooking our own meals on the gas oven. It just makes me feel so close to nature and reminds me how simple humanity used to be and that sometimes having less choices and living as simple as possible is the thing that makes you the happiest.
For all of you interested in the places we saw: we took corsica ferries from savona in italy to bastia, which is on the east side of the island. from there we headed south to porto vecchio, bonifacio, corte (which is inland), calvi, st florent and galeria. most places are super close but since there’s very simple streets we mostly drove an average of 50km/h.
And if you’re planing to go, here’s my very personal corsica guide with corsica’s top 10 must do’s: 
1. Kayaking on the beach of Golf de Spérone (if you liked the photos with the crystal clear water – that’s where you wanna go!)
2. Fango Valley (a river with loads of natural pools, in the middle of the mountains)
3. Sant’Antonino (on the top of a mountain with a 360° view this little town is a true treasure)
4. Cocktails at Chez Tao in Calvi (thanks to my reader Clara for the tip!)
5. Dinner at U Minellu in Calvi
6. Hike to Piscia di Gallu waterfall
7. Plage D’Alga in Calvi (one of the most hidden and most beautiful beaches I have ever seen)
8. Palombaggia beach
9. Drive the coast from Calvi to Galeria (will take you forever but the view is breathtaking)
10. Don’t sleep in a fancy, gated hotel – go camping, save money, meet people from all over the world and best: play cards and drink beers every night.
