in Berlin. Oh Land

Tonight I was at the concert of Oh Land and I enjoyed it sooo much. I was standing on the first line, in the middle, and I couldn't have had a better place! And of course I forgot my camera, so I could only get some shots with the iphone.



The music took me back to February, when My Little Architect wasn't still born and I was feeling so depressed I couldn't even go out of bed before one o'clock in the evening.

Tonight I had the chance to speak to Nanna, and thanked her for her music, because it took me out of bed and got me doing something nice and magical like the project of My Little Architect.

I gave her my card and I she said she would have a look at my work. I really wish she likes it, because she is part of it too.

in Berlin. The Berg

I'm really enjoying this project by Mila. It's one of the first things I found out when I had just arrived to Berlin and it still amazes me each time I think about it.

The Berg

What would happen if we all imagine a gigantic mountain located at the highly historical airport of Tempelhof? It will start existing! Of course! How couldn't it?



The video is a great example of the trashy berlin easthetics and it's just brilliant!

Wolf and Moon

Please, Wolf and Moon, we need you to re-stock the Chevron Point necklace!





Some more great (really great) necklaces:





And while writing this post, this little marvel is coming home con mamá!



I decided to take a brooch so I can place it on a hat, on a turbant, on a chain...

can't wait!

in Berlin. Meet some friends

Outside, in Kreuzberg.

making friends is easy...

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...

in Berlin. Henrik Vibskov

This have been the two first weeks of my little architect in Berlin. As the reason to be here is work there was not much time to go around.

Last saturday was the first day of real hanging around and right after stepping out of the bus I saw Henrik Vibskov's pop up store.

They were truly simpáticos (if you check the dictionary you'll see that's quite a nice word) and I think the guy really liked my business card (ego).

So, only 73 days to visit again for amazing clothes (now 7 less 'cause I have had not a single minute to make this post). I liked the space, balanced and backed-up with objects. I hope to have some time to pas by again










When I innocently looked at his website and realised how great was the man...On the other side, had I known, I wouldn't have dared to get my camera and ask for permission so easily!

click for his online shop:





Anyway, I find his art collaborations dark and disturbng but so attracting at the same time...





See you soon for a post on Qubique, Berlin's furniture tradeshow which I have visited today.

My little Architect's store opening!!

From Berlin with love,

Wo bin ich?

Where am I? Correct!

Berlin!




Soon all the news about the new collection.

Give time please!

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!

A piece of news

Two things happening right now:

- I made all my exams and feel proud about it! Bards will remember this as the heroic feat of the thousand exams. You know, bards always exaggerate things a bit...

- Even if I had decided to maintain the old collection until the end of September, I've decided to temporarily close the shop to focus on the next collection, in which I am dedicating lots of effort.

Wish me luck again!

Karen Barbé I Textilería

The textile creations by Karen Barbé I Textilería are awesome and a good way to start preparing our mood for the seasons to come



I admit it, it's all about the yellow nail color! Can't stop watching how it matches to her website design and her cushions, such an eye catching small detail.

The Little Drömstore

I've been dying for one of these Duo Triangle necklaces from Hug a Porcupine at the little drömstore for a while now... Unluckily many are already sold out, but there are still a few of them left!

Anyway I shouldn't be rewarding myself for the success of my exams until I pass all of them!

But the website design is calling me strongly...




The little dröm store is a lovely gallery shop and independent publisher from Singapore. Read here their dreamy self description.

Gözde Eker

Awesome brooches made with papel maché by prop stylist Gözde Eker!

My Milk Toof by Inhae Lee

Here there is something which will make my dreams tonight cute and childhood-like. This is the story of My Milk Toof by Inhae Lee, an artist from California which lives with the two friendliest and cutest teef ever! How lucky she is to have these two warm hearted little creatures at home.

We spanish kids put our milk teeth under the pillow and by night we have the visit of the Ratoncito Pérez (ratoncito means "little mouse" and "Pérez" is a very spanish and common family name) and get some coins or little presents beneath our pillow the next morning. I remember finding once one little ring with a polly-pocket fairy that could be sitted on it and the magic of how a single mouse could transform a teeth into a polly-pocket just like that.

But yes, eventually Inhae Lee's milk teeth came back to her one day to live at her place. The story of sick Lardee and how ickle tells him a story to make him eat some soup just filled me with joy!



Her photos are so intimate, homey and tender I'd like to believe them real...







They are so messy and so active!

I have already read almost all the blog and stories (and I don't go all the way through because it's very late and I have to study tomorrow!). This girl has developed such a personal, fun and complete work that it makes me want to work harder on my exams and my projects... I really do feel this nice 'good envy' I've spoken in some other post.

You can find her book here.

Hooray for Inhae Lee!!

And hooray for little ickle and Lardee!!

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.
