Let’s Show Them How Bathleisure Works!

I read in a fashion magazine that “Bathleisure” is the Instagram trend right now and that Rita Ora invented it last November. when she appeared on the red carpet dressed like she came right from the shower. I laughed out loud because I had some pictures planed and taken before that featuring just everything this “trend” needs. But since I am the slowest blogger on earth I didn’t manage to finish my article before.

For those who don’t know yet, let me explain what Bathleisure is: The word itself is a combination of “bath” and “athleisure”. Athleisure describes workout clothes that are worn lounging around. Bathleisure is a very similar thing, a towel on your head is the star. To style the perfect Bathleisure look you combine your towel with a bikini top, heavy makeup and huge statement sunglasses (or accessories). It instantly makes you look like a true leisure girl and like you are constantly on holidays.

I love it since this is basically what I wear every day before I dry my hair and wearing a towel in my hair makes me always feel like the crowned queen of casual. Stars like Rita Ora, Leandra Medine, Rihanna or Emily Ratajkowski must agree because they are all on the Bathleisure bandwagon. What caught my eyes in their pictures: All of them wear white or rather plain towels and I think my gorgeous pompom towel tops it all. It’s from ZigZagZurich and woven on old looms in Turkey, only in small quantities.

Even if I am more a working girl than a leisure girl, I agree there is nothing more relaxing than a hot bath. It’s my treat after workouts and one of my favourite moments of the week. Recently I discovered the products from t by tetesept and they are my bath buddies since then. No wonder since they smell deliciously of pink orchid and ylang-ylang or (now you have to listen) CHAMPAGNE and PEARLS, I feel like a rainbow version of Dita Teese in a huge cocktail glass taking a bath and finally, it seems pretty comfy to do absolutely nothing for a while.

Be prepared: Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Time to get in a romantic mood, write love letters and spread flower petals! Maybe you even hope to get a shining ring as a gift because diamonds are a girl’s best friend? I don’t because I just got one and it’s not any ring, but the ring of rings: An infinitely changeable jewel.


mood is an innovative, customizable unisex ring designed and made in Switzerland. It brings you endless possibilities of combination and allows you to express yourself playfully. Every ring consists of a two-part steel base and a central ring called addon that can be exchanged. Just as your look and mood changes, your ring will change with you and be perfect for every occasion. And the best: You can add pieces over the time.

Since pink is my black, my first addon had to be pink of course! I went for a pretty aluminum addon. But you know what a rainbow I am: I plan to have a whole box full of addons to have the right one for every look and outfit. Dear Valentine, why don’t you bring me the next addon instead of another ring?

Sparkling Times Ahead

Yes, it’s time to get into the mood for Christmas, think about gifts and decoration and get ready! Don’t you spot cookies and tinsel in all shops?

In Zurich, Christmastime means Swarovski-Time: Probably the city’s most famous festive attraction is the sparkling tree by the Austrian jewellery label. For many years it has been in the historical hall of the main station to charm pedestrians and Christmas market visitors alike. The fantastic tree, which is decorated with 6500 to 7000 ornaments, will be there for the 20th time. There are other Swarovski trees in cities such as Moscow, Milano, and Dubai, but Zurich was first. How cool is that?

Year after year I am one of the many people standing in front of the tree with big eyes (and hopefully a mulled wine in my hands). The first time when I saw it as a teenager I was very impressed because it’s unlike any other Christmas tree. I had to think of a giant crystal sculpture from a fairy tale. Since then seeing the tree became a ritual, and I can’t imagine Christmas in Zurich without this tree.

Don’t miss the lightning event! It will take place on the 23rd of November, 19 o’clock. I’d be so happy to see some of you guys there. Until 23rd of December, there will be a daily light show from five till the market closes. If you are not in a festive mood yet, I bet a visit there will change this right now. Ho ho ho!

Dress: Vintage, Necklace: Swarovski, Bangle: Swarovski, Earrings: Swarovski

I Like Flamingos, Prints & Paper

Me and prints: A never-ending love story! As a trained graphic designer I can’t get enough of them, love to mix prints and be surrounded by them all the time. Yes, I am a print hunter, always on the watch. And today I am very excited to show you my newest finds from I LIKE PAPER.

I LIKE PAPER is a young label from Berlin (Germany) that works with designers, artists, and illustrators from all over the world to create unique accessories made with love. Among other printable materials, they use Tyvek®, a tear proof water resistant paper made from plastic. Tyvek® can be recycled up to five times, and since all products come with a varnish, they are as long-lasting and flexible as similar products made from leather.

But be warned: Choosing designs on I LIKE PAPER is a difficult task because the vast selection will blow your mind. After a long time of browsing, I went for a pillow case with flamingos (what else) to sit on my baby blue Acapulco chair, a tiger watch to go with my Kenzo looks and a case with the cutest hand print ever. All three items are winners and help me on my mission to surround myself with as much quirkiness and colour as possible.

Yay! I want to order more cause I like paper, yes I do!

Lovely Label: Caribbean Art from Mama Tierra

„Wow, those colours and patterns“ was the first thing that crossed my mind when I discovered Mama Tierra and their bags and accessories at a pop-up market. But unlike many accessories they are far more than just fashionable, so let me tell you about their makers, the Wayuu.
The Wayuu belong to a Carribean ethnic group of 600’000 people who inhabit the northernmost tip of South America. In a no-man’s-land where 80% of the population lives in poverty, problems such as the immense inflation, water shortage and the enviromental pollution caused by multi-national mining companies make them struggle for survival.
The pride of the Wayuu is their craftsmanship: While western culture displays art in museums, they wear it. Wayuu culture demands perfection, and they are among the most skilled weavers on the earth. After a Wayuu girl menstruates for the first time, her tribe starts to instruct her on tasks to reach adulthood. Hard work, perfection, and respect toward others are important values and learning to weave hammocks or bags are paramount to grasp these values in their culture.
Mama Tierra is Spanish and stands for Mother Earth. The goal of the Swiss Non-Profit organization is to support the financial independence of Wayuu women by commercializing ethnic accessories. They are inspired by those women who earn the family’s living, bring up the children, struggle for the preservation of nature and pass on their heritage. I think this is a cause we should all support and the best way to get active is to bring a little piece of colourful Wayuu culture into our everyday life!
The New York Times describes the Wayuu bags as cult objects. Stars like Cara Delavigne, Katy Perry or Uma Thurman have fallen in love with them just as I have. A lot of fashion stores all over the world started to offer them, however there are cheap bags among them. I am glad I found Mama Tierra to prevent me from falling for the low-quality version and own one of their bags as a symbol of my deep respect for the art of the Wayuu.

Lovely Label: Fiona K.’s Pinup Wonderland on Silk Scarves

Let me tell you about the fabulous silk scarves of Fiona K. These scarves are the place where Alice in Wonderland has a crazy party with cats and diamonds, dwarves from the dark side of the moon listen to the guitar sounds of stunning pinup girls, and the yellow submarine makes its way through a land of ice cream and soap bubbles.

While Fiona is a girl of many talents – she is an industrial designer as well and owns a record store – “Amour Fou” is her first silk scarf collection. The young Swiss designer found her inspiration in the music of the 50s to the 70s. This is a perfect match, especially since her art studio is located in her record store in Zurich. The music from songs like “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”, “Sweets For My Sweets” or “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” flows directly from the records into her creative work. Fiona says that she made a collection for daydreamers and unconventional thinkers with a love for nostalgia.

All prints by Fiona K. are hand-painted, then scanned and arranged to astonishing ornaments. The scarves are digitally printed on high-quality silk in Como (Italy) and hand rolled.
