New .:: rojo ::. issue out know

An Email reached me today asking me to promote the current issue of the Bacelona based magazine rojo. Absolutely no problem, since the magazine looks VERY recommendable and since I've already linked to their website a couple of weeks ago. Now I wait for my first printed issue to write about it in this blog.

By the way, rojo is the official media partner of Bread&Butter Eurovision held in Barcelona (July 5th - 7th) and Berlin (July 14th - 16th).

Polina Semionova ::: Second ballet post

Since the official FIFA Worldcup Hymn is performed by German artist Herbert Groenemeyer I couldn't help posting his clip for the Song "Demo" interpreted by Polina Semionova (first female solist of State Ballet Berlin). It always makes me feel fat and less gracile although my mother tried her very best to make me walk upright in sending me to ballet lessons...

::: DEUTSCHLAND :::

Although I'm really not into football/soccer (or however you may call it) I'm really starting to get excited! For me it's the first worldcup held in my country and since nearly everyone around me is mad for football everyone around me is in the highest spirit ♥ and that's what I like! I'll be at a garden party tomorrow to watch my (mostly) male friends scream, pray, cry... staring at a hughe screen. For us ladies there're still the style notes on style.com. I'll coment on that later.

Did you know that Gabriele Strehle has produced a coffee-table book on her countrymen (39,90 €)? The photos are shot by Irving Penn.

STRAPCOUTURE

We all know the Bra Strap Problem with tanktops, dresses, tube tops, etc. in summer, esp. when we definitely have to wear a bra, (unfortunately I'm one of those "poor" ladies)... Ordinary bra straps are just a NO and transparent ones even a NO NO NO (why the hell do women wearing them think no one sees them?????).
So why not highlighting the strap?
Available at StrapCouture, a line of luxury bra straps hook right into your strapless bra and adjust to fit a variety of sizes (they start from $44).

N.E.E.T. is neat

and out NOW.

For those of us who can't read Nylon regulary. VERY nice online magazine! "N.E.E.T. Magazine is the brainchild of Stephanie J, who is based in the UK. Everything in the magazine is handpicked, designed and organised by her, the editor." But I guess the most of you already knew!?

High waisted shorts...

"Unfortunately" I have amazingly long legs (around 110cm, I guess). Yes I have to admit that I love my legs, but unfortunately (as already mentioned) they're just so long that anything highlighting this fact is absolutely unacceptable, because my torso would look disproportional. So no high waisted pants, short or anything for me then :-(
Anyway. I definitely love the look!

Alexander McQueen for Puma

YES I'm a sneaker girl. I especially ♥ the unique ones like Puma's new Fashion edition by Alexander McQueen. Unfortunately for $ 260 (eluxury.com) a little bit too expensive for a student's random salary (like mine). Guess I'll have to wait for them to be sold on ebay.
