The first time this winter



I took the first picture in the morning and the second in the evening and as you can see, it finally started snowing here. I'm actually quite happy with it this time, although snow isn't really that pretty in the city.

I haven't been in the mood to take outfit pictures these days but I hope that's soon going to change. In the meantime, you can also follow me on twitter now.

Drinking coffee and listening to this song = cozy evening...

The Psychic Photobooth 2009 - Mixed Dozen

Friday night Opening of Mixed Dozen, Nov 27 to Dec 8 at Gaffa Gallery. I loved Malcolm's Photobooth piece which was clearly the hit of the show. Art can be fun too! There's some great photography work by Torunn Momtazi, Emma Furno and Diego Ibanez amongst others, well worth a look.

What's in MiJi's bag?

I took one of those "what's in my bag?" photos for all the readers with voyeuristic tendencies ^^
These days I'm toting my drawstring bag which I bought here in Korea and I always have the hello kitty toilet case with me which is filled with my basic make up items. I displayed only a few things, there's actually a lot more in my bag.

Serpent and the Swan : Label Launch

Serpent and the Swan launch at Blender Gallery in Paddington Sydney. A nice line of knit and jersey tops for boys and girls. My little PR pack had the double headed wolf brooch which; as I went with lovely company I actually got to keep! (Some friends just have to raid everyones goodie bags).

I loved the instillation in the window; the 'product' photography on the walls was certainly edgy enough to fit in with the current rock photography show on at Blender. Another successful art gallery fashion launch!

2 Cynics, Movember Madness

Checked out the Cynics Jewelry launch in Paddington last Thursday. Designer Amanda and Cynic helper Rhiannon do 'Chicks' into Movember! Go girls.
And... if you think it looks like they are wearing zips around their neck you are for the most part right, works rather well and reminds me of the good-old days of Punk.

In search of lost time



Sometimes, it's easier to say that you're fine instead of having to explain all the reasons why you're not.

I was fine that day in the end of September when these pictures were taken. More than just fine in fact.

I miss you chingu... It comes in waves, you know..? And today it hit me really hard...

Blurry



sheer vintage top + heavy eye makeup.
Everything's a blur when my mind is full.


These pictures were taken at Gwanghwamun. I really like the panorama photo above since I didn't intend to take a blurry one. It was rather a snapshot. Gwanghwamun feels magical to me - it's a beautiful place to be.

There is an article about Styleseeking Zurich in the "It blogger" section of Sieg Magazine's fourth issue. We feel very flattered and would like to say thanks to Fafa over at Sieg for contacting us!



You can browse through the magazine and read the article here.

H&M Spring/Summer 2010

The upcoming H&M collection put me in the mood for spring already! Floral and ethno prints are still going strong, as are embellishments of all sorts. Sequins, pearls, studs, colorful stones.. : mostly they're on the shoulders or the neckline and add an interesting touch to the outfits.



Maybe you remember my love for anything peach colored from this post. So this rack filled with vintage-inspired garments was very appealing to me. Denim jackets, leggings and distressed shorts were presented with this sunny color.



"Airy" shoes








Drapey dresses, skirts and silk blouses were the most feminine garments of the collection. The skirt below is already one of my must-haves!









Nautical & romantic





This spring/summer we either wear statement jewelry or have our tops already adorned with embroideries and gems.





The lovely people at the Showroom in Zurich always arrange for a stylish ambience. Thanks once again!
