pictoplasma

Because of the nasty weather we had on sunday we decided to visit the Pictoplasma exhibition in the great Jahn Kaufhaus. I loved all the sweet or spooky little creatures there and wished they could be my pets. Especially the one above.

 

dress: 60s vintage, vintageshop Madrid

velvet hairbow: DIY

plastic jewelery: 60s vintage, fleamarkets

tights: present from my mom

bag: 60s vintage, fleamarket

 The color of the walls fitted my outfit so well - blue on blue with blue. 

Have a closer look at the fabric of the dress, I really like the watercolour design.

The Jahn Kaufhaus is an old empty lost building which was re-opened just for that one event. 

We loved the architecture and the light installation.

 There are even installations to interact with. 

So go and check it out, when you love comics and digital cuteness and you are in Berlin right now.

 Leave you with some impressions:

 

 

 

all things yellow

 

Today my favourite month started and my beloved alley is so beautiful right now, with sunny islands full of daffodils. That inspired me to wear more yellow - what an incredible colour! All things yellow make me happy.

Of course I visited the fleamarket today - it´s a tradition - and wore the yellow skirt again. 

I found this sweet 50s wall mask. I fell in love immediatly because it has my signature hairstyle.

bag: hookahey, present from a friend

sunglasses: six

daisy set: 60s vintage, ebay

plastic pearls and bangle: 50s vintage, ebay

 But what else I found? 

Vintage lilies and bamboo... so 50s and it´s even Coro signed!

Do you like it? 

Hope you all had a great holiday!

mexican supper

After our exhausting spring-cleaning we really needed a propper supper - time for some heavy mexican food and my new skirt. We went to the mexican snack bar CHAPARRO. Highly recommended, it´s yummy and full of cool kitsch.

I can´t get enough from the old sequins and how good they are conserved and those soft laces, 

which came out so white again after cleaning... wish you all a week full of glittery moments!

Hola Madrid!

This year I celebrated my birthday with my best friend in the beautiful baroque town of Madrid. 

So much fun: We loved all the colourful details of the architecture and went vintage shopping - of course.

My leopard shopping bag is full of 50s goodies I will show in upcoming posts.

This mexican restaurant was so cool and the food delicious.

We enjoyed a Flamenco show on our first evening and a trashy dragshow on the second one. 

I felt like living in an Almodovar movie.

After all that shopping and clubbing it was time for an art-marathon. 

Beside the huge Prado I liked the Modern Art section of the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection the most.

While strolling I found this incredible shop called Burlesque: full of wigs and professional make up.

 I came out with another shopping bag full of fake lashes and brushes - happy me.

Sadly the weather was just grey and cold. Time for more nightclubbing.

hairflower: real carnation, present from a Flamenco dancer

dress: Folter clothing, present from Honey

cardigan: Vintage Vixen

shoes: Molly Holly

In the Charada Club we listened to the dark ballads of the super beautiful Chrysta Bell.

Leaving you with another typical detail of Madrid...

At last it was time for flowers in the hair again... Hope you all have enjoyed this weekend!

glitter in the powder room

The other day a friend and I visited a Burlesque show in the Bassy Club and she made some pics of me in the Ladies' lavatory - not the most glamourous location, I know. But my beloved 50s cocktail jacket, found on a fleamarket and my 6-inch-high beehive was worth it.

The jacket is so classic: made of crêpe, bat sleeves, a nipped in waist and very nice embroidery with little black jet pearls.

  

Pockets with scallop! 

While we powder our noses, let´s have a closer look at my make up: I used Kryolan pro-products only, padded the pink glitter on the lids just with an eyeshadow base, draw a winged liner and put tons of mascara on my natural lashes to get that spidery look - it´s not a faux pas anymore - it´s en vogue!

The huge pink glitter flower in my hair is a souvenir from fabulous Las Vegas!

The show girls were so hot, that I had to cool down myself a bit.

I hailed a taxi in my vintage Sergio Rossi high heels and felt very happy to live in a town

where you can enjoy a great show with international acts on a common wednesday.
