here we go again!

Had a small thriftattack with Stella and Cole today at the Brockiland in Zurich (I happen to stay right across from this amazing place!) Cole found the strangest photo ever and Stella is holiding a silk shirt that looks like a tote bag in the photo.

I got a pair of heels that are a hybrid of Frankenstein and Jerry Hall yet so comfortable! When I tried them on I said "The're gonna be my new sneakers". And another add on to my "weird knit" collection (present from Stella) The Elisabeth necklace is gonna be best friends with this one!

the sweeter things in life

Having breakfast with Carmela is like my bonus, treat and recharge all wrapped in one. Even if it's just 15min. This was a week ago on our stolen hour between NY, Tokyo and Innsbruck in Zurich. So precious. Carmela is wearing the "My Best Friend" sweater. Of course.

holy molly dolly!

Dolly Parton is just amazing and one of a kind! Flashy, sassy Southern Belle. I love her big hair, her big heart and her big..I just love her.Check out this great interview from back in the day!
It's like eating a cupcake, it's too sweet, it gives you a sugar buzz and you always love it!

It was mostly frozen teddybears

On Saturday Eva picked me up and as some die hard thrifters we did a little turn on the icy Zurich flea market before locking ourselves in the "office" all day with good music to work!
It was mostly grumpy old men and toys. But I managed to score a dreamy mustard colored silk summer dress. Can't wait to wear that!! And Eva got a pretty brown hair bow..

Eva being magically attracted by jewels!

I t was a frosty welcome

Sorry for taking so long to post these treasures. Tina Weber made it happen that the wonderful photographer Georg Anton Stipek Michienzi came to our "Everyday Is Like Sunday" show and took photos backstage. They capture the atmosphere so well. Thanks a lot Anton and Tina!
