in Berlin. Hello Monki!

Hello Monki! The world of the Monkis, creepy and cute at the same time, has finally come to me.

All the way from the North, this little beauty just arrived to Berlin to be my warmest friend! I'll need a great dose of color to survive to the coldest winter of my life...

lookbooks, packaging, community, interiors... one could live in Monki, if you dare to deal with their little black mean-looking monsters...

some new and some old things




1.- Promo card from a party at Kafka Club. I never visited it but they always make great posters!
2.- Lush opened a store in my city and I just want everything!
3.- Preparing for winter in Berlin: Nightfall nail polish from M·A·C's basics. (I should be really buying snow boots instead!)
4.- Old ring from fun&basics. People think I made it myself so I guess a kind of my little architect's style is being born...
5.- Duo Necklace by Hug a Porcupine from The Little Dröm Store. Told you I couldn't resist it! Best of it is that you can also wear it backwards for a gold monochrome look!

Just sorry for the quality of the photo, I've got to get working on the next collection!

À Bruxelles. KAKKOIIIRO



Kakkoiiiro is one of the shops I was really looking forward visiting again since I discovered it last year and they were really sympa when I asked them permission for making photos and they told me about their new ideas they had for their shop.







Their shop is really cool, urban oriented and it's full of eye-flashing colors (and I love color saturated spaces!).
There I got this amazing sweater from Lazy Oaf for the cold days that await for me this winter in Berlin.

À Bruxelles: ISABELLE BAJART Vintage Clothing

At the number 25 of Rue des Chartreux I found last year the lovely and misterious shop of Isabelle Bajart. I found it by chance and as soon as I came again to Brussels I hurried there with my camera. She is a very pretty woman herself and her shop with wooden floors, semi-darkness and rare vintage pieces has a certain ability of detaching itself from the outside world in a way you don't remember anymore where you were or were going to when you return to the street.

In this shop, vintage goes a step further. The love for vintage is not only the pre-loved clothing itself, but to royalize it by providing a setting in which the pieces can be proud of themselves, of their age, the time in which they were made and the history behind them.







The light, the different levels that create a promenade, the greens, the corals, the beiges, the little jewelry findings and the complex architecture you find above you if you happen to lift your head up makes the shop of Isabelle Bajart a total must* of Brussels.

nice! more tips on Brussels coming soon

Tattly

One of my daily reads has surprised me with an amazing project. Swissmiss has just launched a lovely project. Ever thought of getting a tattoo? Not in my case, but temporary tattoos is something that always reminds of one's own childhood! And it attracts me as much as analogical things. What does a film camera has to do with a temporary tattoo? Not much, it's just that it's not as they are supposed to be. Photos are supposed to be digital and tattoos are supposed to be forever. Oh my I'm beating around the bush!

What I wanted to share with you is the lovely project of Tattly, a compendium of amazing temporary tattoos created by contributing designers and brought to life by Swissmiss.

It was not until I had a deeper look at how she describes the proyect: 'Tattlys are perfect for people like me, that can’t commit to a real tattoo and for designer parents, that want to raise their kids with style.', that I realised they were actually intended for kids...

This are the Tattlys

Tattone


Instant Camera


How cool for a kid is it to go to school with these? And when I say 'kid' and 'school' I mean 'architect' and 'studio' and 'me', of course!

Nice things


New things arrived safely at home:


1. Topknot from Plastic Foliage (with awesome package design) 2. Greasy Paints from MUJI




Marie, the girl behind Plastic Foliage, has been very kind giving me some tips on online business and she makes nice and colorful things, from accessories to handsoap.

This photos are from her shop, her blog and her flickr:







It's amazing the wide range of product lines, shirts made with vintage fabric to kids clothes, printed tshirts...





And her famous hand-soaps:


Girls like her that work hard to have their clothes, accessories, packaging and websites up-to-date and have fun while doing it cheer me up to keep working on my own work, despite exams and works and everyday issues...thanks!
