55 DSL // BEYOND MOUNTAINS, MORE MOUNTAINS


with andrea rosso, creative director of 55DSL and the two actors


first night in milan: crazyness. like i told you here, 55DSL flew me into town to be guest at the premiere of “beyond mountains, more mountains”. the movie was directed by the trio “canada” from barcelona, who are absolutely genius. we saw the movie at piccolo teatro di milano as part of the milano film festival. canada created a short movie about a girl and a guy, conquering the world and looking for something. i won’t tell you what it is because you need to watch it yourself.


anyway, after the screening, i got to know the whole PR / marketing / creative team of 55DSL at a cosy sit down dinner. let me tell you one thing: i have NEVER in the fashion world met such funny, down-to-earth, easy-going and wonderful people as the team behind 55DSL. i had so much fun and felt like sitting with a group of friends i’ve known forever. with a super-huge belly i made my way to the after-party at spazio concept, were we had some drinks and a little out of control dance-party.


my first night in my new hometown milan has been wonderful, exciting and so much fun. thanks to 55DSL for making it all possible.

GOODBYE VIENNA: WITH A TEAR IN ONE EYE AND A SMILE IN THE OTHER

today’s the day. i am moving to milan. it’s been very hard not to become emotional with this huge change in my life. i know, milan’s not buenos aires or sydney, but it’s still a move to a different life, culture and people. the last time i went abroad i was 17 and i went to the US for 6 months. right before i moved i realized all the stuff i loved about home, like i do now. i love my friends, my family, this town, the life quality, the parks and my lovely apartment. but the past months i have also realized what i don’t like or what i don’t want in my life. i have gone through a break-up, did jobs i didn’t like and met people i would rather not meet again. i have been in very superficial situations and met people that are fake on the out- and inside. believe me, my life hasn’t always been that happy and i have gone through many disappointments. i have learned a lot of things i don’t want in my life. and that’s probably the most important thing to learn in life: knowing what you’d rather exclude from it. because then knowing what you want is much, much easier. and i know that a lot of things i want are in vienna, with the people i love and that i laugh with so much. there’s a hand full of people that i am going to miss and it really hurts to leave them.


but i am SO excited for a new environment, meeting new people, get inspired, learn more, travel and of course: keep blogging. right now vienna’s becoming too small and confining for what i am reaching for in life. it’s time to leave. 


now i need to get my shit together, stop being emotional and conquer the world one day at a time.

SOCKS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY

i have known happy socks for a while now. i even wrote an article on them in last years fall issue of material girl magazine. so you can guess how excited i was to finally get my own pair. their selection is quite small, but it’s about quality, not quantity, right? so the other day the post mail dropped off the two pairs i picked: a pair of burgundy polka dot tights and wool socks. the tights are the shit: you can simply dress all black and they make up for the outfit. the wool socks are THE perfect company i have looked for for lonely, cold evenings in front of my laptop hugging a cup of tea. these socks really do make me happy (that’s how easy i can be satisfied).

since i want YOU to be happy as well, 5 of you can win their favorite pair of happy socks! all you have to do is the following:

1. pick 4 favorites from the website
2. tell me which ones they are by leaving a comment with your name and e-mail adress
3. winners will be anounced next week!

NIKE FREE

via oyster

as you might have noticed i am OBSESSED with my pair of nike free’s that i got a few weeks ago. i wear them ALL THE TIME. i have loved new balance and nike air max, but these really are the perfect shoe for anything: they match shorts, trousers, skirts, dresses.

luckily the lovely people from zalando gave me a new pair. i will let you know VERY soon which ones i picked.

COS PRESS OPENING

the super lovely ladies from the shop

about half of my wardrobe is from COS, my favorite store on earth. love’s a pretty strong word, but i can say that i LOVE their stuff. now that i move to milan there’s a COS in vienna… alright that’s a huge first world complain. anyway, the other day COS invited for a press shopping event, where my mum and i bought half of the store. i got a new wool winter coat, a few sweaters, a dress and some cashmere trousers that i am beyond obsessed with. the music at the store was incredible, still gotta find out who that dj was. just a few impressions and my favorite sweater. the color is super-bo.
