live the life you want to remember. make decision. make mistake. if you fall, at least you tried.

There is nothing better than spending the evening in a nice restaurant, eating one of my fav salads and watching a great movie in the cinema. I am a big fan of movies, unfortunately I tend to forget which movie I´ve seen or I just forget the content after a while. Another funny secret about me is that I fall asleep easily while whatching a movie! I watched Justin Timberlake´s new movie "In Time". I liked the movie but there wasn´t enough action if you ask me. We kids in London had pretty much luck with the weather the last weeks. Sad that it turned so cold today. As you can see I refuse to wear my winter jacket. Wondering how long I can run through this! I bought this Shirt that I am wearing in Milan. The words on it are so true. Try everything you want and you dream about! Everything your heart desires. Let no one tell you what you can or can not achieve!

Took the pics with my iPhone.. Sry for the bad quality!

Hope you had a great Monday.
See you folks.

Night Out - finest hip hop and r&b music in town


It´s kind of funny that I got used to go out during the week rather than at the weekend, since I moved to London. I guess the clock is ticking here the other way round. I had to wake up early the next day but still I couldn´t miss a night full of hip hop and r&b music. I listen to almost every kind of music, but r&b and hip hop is the music I grew up with.

Is anybody here who remembers this absolutley fantastic song, which was released back in 1992?! I am a lover for 90´s music.  Listen and enjoy!

HALLOWEEN 2011 VS. 2010

I´m am the biggest Halloween fan and I was so excited this year. I really don´t know how to describe this crazy night, just look at the picture. The queue in front of the club went up to China. Even after 2,5 hours waiting and killing ourselves in this queue, we couldn´t get inside of the club. It felt like whole London decided to come to "Cirque du soir" on this day. Thanks god we got home safe.

Home Sweet Home

Nürnberg(Nuremberg), my hometown in Germany where I was born and grew up. I know every corner, every bar and club, and it feels like I know almost every single person who lives there. About 500 000 inhabitans which makes me feel like it´s a village compared with London and it´s 8 000 000 inhabitants. Not having your own car and getting used to tubes and overgrounds, buses and taxis that make you broke. I´ve been living in London for almost four weeks now, which means the last time I´ve did my nails was over four weeks and I am pretty surprised that my claws are still alive. I´m desperately looking for a new nail designer in London, and guess what, its f**** harder as I thought. If someone out there knows a good nail designer, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. To be honest with you, I miss this little town. Everything is so near and so uncomplicated, not hectic and not loud. Well, this life is over now. Gentiana, welcome to London! ;) If you are in Nürnberg/Germany, make sure to go to "Tapasitos". Great spanish tapas/food and delicious cocktails.

Piccollino 300911

It´s unbelievable, these pictures were taken almost three weeks ago, and I am running around with a Shirt and Shorts. These weather changes making me nuts, but the autumn/winter is arrived now in London and the Shirts and Shorts are gone. This night I spend some time at a nice restaurant in central london. "Piccollino". Nice atmosphare and good food.

I can´t help myself when it comes to overnees, and yes, I am mixing them with a quiet sporty outfits. That´s me! Bought these shoese two years ago in Italy and their still one of my favourites. Simple Short from Zara and Shirt with printed logo "RUN DMC".

Fashion and Textile Museum - Tommy Nutter Exhibition

Today I spent some time at the F & T Museum in London. For all those who didn´t know, Tommy Nutter (17 April 1943 - 17 August 1992), was a British tailor, famous for reinventing the Savile Row suit in the 1960s. He was a tailoring rebel who introduced rakish silhouettes and jaunty cocktail-lounge styles to the bespoke classes and the emerging classless celebrities of the Sixties.
Until his untimely death in 1992, he dressed everyone, from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, to Elton John, Micheal Jackson and Diana Ross, from Sir Hardy Amies and Lord and Lady Harlech to the Duke of Bedford and Sir Roy Strong.

Posh people and rock people, just the way it should be. Designers like Vivienne Westwood and Tom Ford say that they´re still inspired by Tommy Nutter´s way of design.

You can also see some designs and sketches from the great Designer Zandra Rhodes.
