Confession: I have a fashion addiction and it’s all about rainbow accessories. It goes on for a while already and will continue not just until pride month is over. It’s my statement against minimalism and my attempt to bring a little bit of happiness with me wherever I go. The excited inner child inside of me that wants to use all crayons at once is still alive and will never lose the passion for colour.

When I bought my first rainbow jumper I thought I am equipped now, but how little did I know! Soon afterwards, I discovered that my life is not complete without a whole pile of rainbow jumpers and t-shirts, cause rainbows like company. There are as many rainbows as shades of white and therefore the pile grew and grew. When I tidied up my wardrobe and saw all my rainbow tops it was clear: Yes this is not just a little thing, it’s a real thirst for uniting all bright colours on my chest.

The jumper from this post is a lucky second-hand find, so no fast fashion happening in this post. Everything I wear is either handmade by designers from Switzerland and Germany or vintage (besides my Gucci sunglasses). I have to point out my collar made by Swiss designer Waternymph: This eyecatcher uses upcycled Australian fish scales and vintage leather. I never imagined that I’d wear fish around my neck until I saw it. But it is what it is: Everything is just perfect in rainbow, don’t you agree? The absence of fast fashion makes my rainbow even more cheerful and makes me feel alright about giving in to my rainbow thirst. What fashion addiction do you have at the moment?

A few days ago I lost my favourite earring, a giant purple squid. I was sad, almost like when a good friend just left and I was alone, wishing that person back with me.

This might sound silly because I am just talking about a pair of earrings, a silly piece of plastic and metal, something purely material. But I had them for a few years and wore them quite often. I got a lot of compliments and people asked if they might touch them, even strangers. They traveled with me to London, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Lisbon, my squid companions.

I tried to find the quantum of good in my misfortune and told myself it was just a pair of earrings and it might be time for something new. I consider myself as a person who embraces change in many facets of life and this is no difficult lesson in proving that. What a lucky girl I must be if nothing worse happens to me but me losing some earrings!

The empty space my squid left got already filled: Two pairs of earrings from Berlin label Tukadu arrived to bring back a broad smile on my face. Designer Roberta, her son Tilman, and their team create unique and quirky pieces since 1993. I think both pairs I got are just as special as my squid, unicorns, and birds. So let’s start adventures together, let’s travel and see what looks we can create! Let’s go far together, come back and catch people’s eyes!

They are nicer animals than squids anyway, right?
