// UBER-ADDICTED \\

When living in London I had a very sweet, kind, talented, funny, creative, caring, & uber fashionable friend in the name of Zoe Glazebrook. 

Zoe, her writer/illustrator beau, two suitcases & two cats Iggy and Otis recently made the brave move to pack up all their worldly possessions & up sticks to the creative hub that is Berlin.

Suddenly finding themselves immersed in the cultural buzz of this new city - that they have chosen to call their new home for the unforeseeable future - in search of a new and prosperous Life experience & so their fantastic blog UBERLIN was born! Giving us folk (that aren't quite brave enough to make the same move) a taster of what city life is really like in this cool and creative hub!

After reading their very first post aptly titled 'Let's Go', I have been addicted ever since.... 

Canvassing everything from their interests in the worlds of food, music, art, design, technology, culture and style I can guarantee you that you too will soon be hooked. I have included some great imagery from their blog below. 

Happy browsing!!!

FUN FASHION FOR SPRING : PRADA's COLOURFUL FUR STOLE

Ok so this is obviously a passing fad that resembles a raccoons tail dipped in some brightly coloured paint but never-the-less it is a staple piece of many of the very fashionable peop's wardrobes and was the accessory of choice during last months fashion weeks with the likes of Marc Jacobs, Pop editor-at-large Shala Monroque & fashion risk-taker Anna dello Russo all donning one (or two).

Even if us normal folk won't be wearing one anytime soon, you have to admit it is fun to look at from the safety of our own laptops ;)

Prada Spring/Summer 2011

// DARK FASHION \\

Even though we are now well and truly into the Spring and obviously the summer is just about within reach, everyone is finally starting to pack away their dark & dreary winter clothes for another year & opting for the refreshingly bright floral, neon & block colouring trends of Spring/ Summer 2011.

BUT......

I have to say I will still always be a firm believer & lover of All things black come Autumn/Winter/Spring or Summer. It is a colour that you can never go wrong with and is effortless, elegant & just plain and simply classic. Think the style of designers Acne/ Helmut Land & Alexander Wang that never opt too far from the monochromic colour palette.

Also the colour BLACK has so may added benefits to consider as well, such as:

- It is the colour that symbolises authority & power

-  It instantly makes you appear thinner

-  It is & always will be considered stylish & timeless

Now who can argue with that. Here are some images de 'inspiration' ;)

Giovanna Battaglia & her flawless style can do no wrong in my eyes.

She used to be a fitting and runway model for Dolce & Gabbana and now she is a fashion editor for L'Uomo Vogue.

There are inspirational street style pics a plenty & here are just a few of my personal 'best-loves'....
