Ok, though this winter is lacking somewhat around here in cold temperatures – it is time to post this wonderful jacket by Collectif Clothing. I promised that to Froilein Olivia some time ago. Marianne is part of a suit and Hackey Rose’s blogpost is to die for – she has this in pink though. Though I love pink, I thought it would be too sweet and I got this set in green for silly money in the sale. I couldn’t size up the skirt – and that is why you won’t see it on moi (at least for a while). It fits like a glove, or rather as we say in German like a saussage in skin („Wurst in Pelle“). Not an extra layer – but am quite stuffed to the brim. Anyway – it is still a great jacket and looks good and wintery.

The jacket is made with fake fur. Worn here with a vintage (real) fur set. The mini hat is reclaimed mink and was a dowdy cap before I made this fascinator out of it. The brown inlay is a fur brooch, also dating from the 1950s or 1960s.

Sorry, heute mal ohne deutsche Fassung – abgesehen bei den Bildern!


With closed eyes – but a good view of the fascinator!
Mit geschlossenen Augen, dafür kommt der Fascinator gut zur Geltung.

The parents and I went to the Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn – for an art exhibition. Matching the Japanese theme were the decorations in the cafe. Pics inside were not allowed.
Die Eltern und ich haben eine Ausstellung in der Bundeskunsthalle besucht. Die Deko im Cafe war auf das japanische Thema abgestimmt. Bilder drinnen waren nicht erlaubt.

On the way to celebrate Christmas with the family. With my showstopping Bernie Dexter Winterwonderland Dress. I think I look like a Christmas angel.
Unterwegs um mit der Familie Weihnachten zu feiern. Mit meinem doch recht auffälligem Bernie Dexter Winterwonderland Kleid. Ein feiner Weihnachtsengel, oder?

It twirls ranter nicely (and gives you the chance to admire the jacket in 360 degrees!
Das Kleid dreht sich sehr hübsch – und so kann man das Jäckchen von allen Seiten bestaunen!

Inside and outside. My first Erstwilder brooch – I fell in love with that saussage dog (and a few others). You might have recognised the dress from last year.
Drinnen und draussen. Der Dackel ist meine erste Brosche von Erstwilder (und wahrscheinlich nicht meine letzte). Das Kleid hatte ich mir letztes Jahr gekauft.
