In Memory of Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld verstarb traurigerweise vergangenen Donnerstag. Eine Nachricht die mich sehr traf und ganz unverhofft am Bahnhof erwischte, als ich gerade umstieg und die Überschrift auf einer Anzeigetafel las. Karl Lagerfeld war (und ist) für mich, wie für viele andere, DER Modeschöpfer. Mit der Zeit sammelte sich bei mir viel an, ob nun Kunst, Bücher von und über ihn, Produkte wie Kerzen, Mode, und natürlich meine geliebten Taschen.

Ich fieberte seinen Schauen auf den Fashion Weeks entgegen und war wochenlang aufgeregt als bekannt wurde, dass seine Métiers d'Art Show für Chanel in der Elbphilharmonie stattfindet. Einmal Hamburg, immer Hamburg.

Hinzu kommen seine Kreativität und seine Visionen bezüglich Fendi, Chanel, und seinem eigenen Label. Ich erinnere mich auch noch an den von ihm designten Schwarzkopf Pop-Up-Store im Jahre 2011 in Düsseldorf, dem wir damals einen Besuch abstatteten.

Rest In Peace, Karl

Love, Laura

P.S.: Ursprünglich wollte ich diesen Blog eigentlich "Kate and Karl" nennen, als Gedanken an meine beiden Lieblingsdesigner Kate Spade und Karl Lagerfeld. Mittlerweile sind beide verstorben, vielleicht treffen sie sich ja.

  

Countdown to Christmas

                       

I can't believe there are only six days left until Christmas Eve! Even though I already did all my holiday shopping and sent out my christmas cards, the holiday time still calls for more baking and christmas movies! I've seen Christmas With The Kranks (one of my favourites), Christmas Vacation, The Princess Switch (a new Netflix film with Vanessa Hudgens), and Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, the latter is an old favourite of mine. I would listen to it on CD as a kid over and over again and somehow I lost it (or I'm just unable to find it) but when I came across the DVD at a media store I just had to have it! The films that are on my watchlist this season are Home Alone and The Nutcracker And The Four Realms, which is currently in theatres.

Coat: Benneton

Scarf: Ralph Lauren

Jeans: DKNY

Sweater: Ralph Lauren

Bag: Kate Spade

Boots: Drievholt

Nails: Chanel 500 - Rouge Essentiel

My christmas tree is up and fully decorated, I even decorated a gingerbread house with my sister and our friend and the only things left to do are wrapping most of my presents and visiting Christmas Markets.

Do you have your christmas tree and presents already? And what is your favourite film to put you in the christmas mood?

Let me know.

What's On My Holiday Wishlist

Since me and a few of my dearest friends are spending the last few days before christmas at Disneyland Paris, there will be no extra presents for us this year. But there are still a few items that I adored this season or saw in the stores which could be stocking stuffers or remain on my wish list for the next year.

1. The Audrey Hepburn Rubin Collection 

I am a big Audrey Hepburn fan (then again, who isn't?) and I was quite excited when I saw this DVD-box at my local book store. The only Audrey Hepburn DVD I already own is Breakfast at Tiffany's so it would be quite practical to have a whole collection, hihi. The set includes Funny Face, Roman Holiday, Sabrina, War and Peace, and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

2. Paris Trough a Fashion Eye Book  

Megan Hess is my most favourite illustrator and I've been collecting her books for a while. Coincidently, she  publishes new destination books when we are already planning a trip to said city. Last year it was New York, this time Paris; which is really nice because she shares great tips from hotels, restaurants, to shops, always underlined by her art.

3. Chanel Rouge Coco Gloss

When Chanel did a Pop-Up Tour to advertise their newest Lipgloss range I tried a few of their products and fell in love with one particular colour. I usually never wear lipgloss or lipstick but the colour 736 - Douceur probably changed that! It looks quite bright in the bottle but is actually more nude in real life.

4. UGG Bow Slippers

I used to steal my dads slippers as a kid and am still quite into warming footwear but tend to go for fuzzy socks because they are just more comfortable than shoes. I do own two pairs but I just want those UGG slippers because of those bows and pompoms?! There are many cold months coming for us after all! ;)

Let me know what things you are wishing for this year.

Love, Laura
