I was born in February, one of the coldest, snowiest months of the year and to this day I remain an avid fan of winter and the peaceful atmosphere that goes along with it. Berlin has silently been blanketed under layers of snow for several days now, muffling footsteps and lending an air of mistery to each evening. Although, like every other person, I am longing for warmer temperatures, I still intend on enjoying the beauty that winter has to offer before it disappears for another 9 months (official, seasonal reference here). I feel far more in my element, buried under colourful layers, throwing some architectural cuts into the mix and floating on oreo cookie boots, accentuated by sickeningly picturesque, swirling snowflakes.

 

 

Sale season is a time of jagged, chewed-on nails, headaches and salty tears rounded off with a strong emotional cocktail of relief, anger and joy. Do I need to remind anyone of the Outnet's 1£ sale and the death threats that ensued? You have already seen my crowning sale aquisition in my previous post and although my wallet is far away from my longing grasp for safety reasons, financial and physical ones, it doesn't stop me from oogling and browsing. Excessively.

From digitally stroking the blue collar on that Carven jacket or adjusting that faultless Preen medley of orange and blue lace prior to imagining that Rubik's cube jumper together with an A-line leather skirt – my digital shopping cart has reached an astronomical value that of course will never materialise. So I'll go now and empty it for the millionth time and pass the staff of financial ruin to you.

Apologies for me technologically dropping off the face of the earth; my computer decided to go on strike the last few days. I'm still in burgundy, black and indigo colour-mode, something this silkara parka I recently purchased has managed to flawlessly combine. Lea thinks it's an unbecoming mix of 80s and outdoor wear, two aspects that immediately cause for Wham's Last Christmas music video to spring to mind. Whoops.

I decided to offset these winter colours with some splashes of white, integrating aspects of my summer wardrobe. There's no need for these sandals to disappear until May.

I am wearing a Mary Ping parka, an H&M cardigan, a Toga Archive dress, 3.1 Phillip Lim sandals and an Alexander Wang bag.

P.S. Don't ask about my stupid facial expression (see last photo). For the last month I've been waking up an hour earlier each day so that I can actually take some photos in daylight.

From the poncho we move onto the blanket (or the most enormous scarf on this planet): a perfect cover-up alternative to the traditional coat. It has evoked some interesting responses from strangers, stating that I look so cuddly that they want to hug me or suggesting that I may be homeless. Please note, socks are an unnecessary addition to this outfit. Naked ankles and silk blouses are about as sexy as it gets at three degrees (or really ever with me).

I am wearing a scarf (big ? here) from Stefanel, an Equipment blouse, a Zara feather vest, a Moxham necklace, an irritating hairband that I forgot to take off, Current/Elliot jeans, Isabel Marant trainers and the 3.1 Philiip Lim clutch that you're probably getting sick of seeing (but I'm not).

I've spent the entire weekend outside together with my friends and our dogs making the most of the amazing autumn weather we've been experiencing. On Saturday Jana and I went to the fairytale fountain in one of my favourite parks in Berlin to shoot these photos of my jump/suit hybrid.

I haven't worn a onesie since I stopped wearing diapers and since that was a long time ago, I thought this grown-up tweed version was quite fitting. As you can see my love for husband sleeves continues, including my love for this clutch.

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

I am wearing an Asos onesie, Alasdair's shirt, Zara boots and a 3.1 Phillip Lim clutch.
