WEPHOBIA BLAZER

I bought this blazer from Wephobia at the pop-up sale which the girls Daisy and Minh Anh did together with me and Floralpunk ! I absolutely love their clothes, and since I noticed that they don’t have a physical store, I had to ask them to join me right away. Their pieces are so chic and of great quality, I was sold right away. I definitely want to stock Wephobia for Floralpunk ! Did you know ? Floralpunk will be super big soon. We have big plans for it, my new business partner Madox and I. Stay tuned, it’s gonna be so cool !

 March started weeks ago and at one point it was boiling, the next moment it’s still March and freezing again. How on earth did that happen?? You could only find this kind of weather fluctuation in London, honestly. Being smashed with uni work yet still enjoy the nightlife and staring into the depths of the Ukraine’s crisis on a perpetual caffeinated high probably screws with the body’s time perception abilities. I try to keep myself busy all the time these days, whether with business or with pleasure. Regardless, I’m super ecstatic for Spring, the lighter layers (and the better mindset) that come with it, fresh blooms, and more vitamin D. On a more outfit-y note, i have never owned a Dior bag before but this python baby definitely won my heart over. Have a productive week everyone! With love, N ❤

Two weeks ago, i went on a spontaneous trip to Paris with some of my best boys and it was just pure great fun. Gotta say this Dries sweater is one of my best buy so far this season. I attended his show only once last winter and the collection just blew my mind. Renowned for his use of digitally enhanced ethnic prints and original fabrics, he directed his visions of layers conflicting patterns with strong, streamlined tailoring and bespoke touches in such a way that he has firmly cemented his aesthetic and i think this crochet knit is the perfect example to illustrate this incredible perception . Pairing it with my fave red sac, Le Birkin 30 et voila, i am ready to roam the Parisian street. Have a fab weekend everyone! 
Keep creating, keep loving! <3 N

All Black in Saigon

Black is without doubt the most dominant color in my wardrobe, and that’s probably because I like clean and minimal designs with a little twist. And the pieces that fulfill this criteria are mostly being produced in black. When it comes to fashion, I don’t aim to stand out. I prefer to stay subtle and make little details work for me. I don’t think that the way I wear clothes is special, but it’s me and mine in every aspect. And if people say they like my style, of course it makes me happy. People do need confirmation, even though I dress for myself and not others. Who doesn’t need a little bit of appreciation in life, come on.
Black outfits are not something you might find en mass in Saigon as you do in Germany, that’s why I’m standing out with it here, unlike in Germany, even though that’s not my intention. But what can I do : )
I’m still trying to figure out Vietnamese fashion, but I still have no clue about it, seriously. It’s something between cute and colorful and thrown together. Which doesn’t mean that you can’t find great pieces here ! I will do a shopping guide at the end of my trip. Let’s see what I can find !
