Rose Revival & Other Stories by H&M
The promising new label "&Other Stories" by H&M grants another insight. Besides providing us with high-quality fashion and accessoires it will cover us in a "Rose Revival".
A new smell for a new era - a self-explanatory match.
We are getting even more curious about the brand launching next spring.
Stay tuned for further information and inspiration!

YOKO OH! OR NO ?
We love Opening Ceremony and we certainly admire Miss Ono.
But adding a famous character to an acclaimed fashion brand does not lead automaticly to success. One week ago it gor confirmed that japanise artist and author Yoko Ono, well-known from her marriage with Beatles-legend John Lennon, is going to launch a menswear collection for the multifaceted online fashion retailer.
While we totally fell for the illustrative video we are more unsure about the fashion itself.
Do we want to see the sunny male sides in these?
Find the entire collection at Opening Ceremony.
It's a phenomenon one can observe many times - An iconic character is revived again in a new context.
These days it seems to be a subliminal hype surrounding Yoko Ono. Besides appearing in Karl Lagerfeld's "The Little Black Jacket" exhibition you can wear Yoko now printed on your chest aswell.
Furthermore 1 week ago it got confirmed that the japanese artist and autor, well-known from her marriage with Beatles legend John Lennon, is going to launch a limited menswear collection at the online retailer Opening Ceremony. Since two days brave young men can now order the eccentric collection of the japanese artist and autor and while we really like the illustrative video we are quite uncertain about the fashion itself.
Do we really want to see the sunny male side in these fabrics?
Some extracts of the collection and more about the recent Yoko-hype after the jump.

It's Okay To Try Something New!
The world around us is full of new things but yet we stick with what has become familiar; our home, friends and family is all familiar. Sometimes we are scared to embrace something new. Newness has its own mystery and self discovery for a person to immerse themselves into wholeheartedly. Today I read a news story on Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr aka Lil' Wayne who was deciding to retire from his rapping career. He has become well known for his savvy business skills as a business mogul. He has successfully discovered new rappers such as Drake, Tyga and Nicki Minja. He explained in the article how he has been rapping for 22yrs. If you are thinking what I am thinking this is a very long time to be committed to a talent without exploring other things. He also stated in the article once he is committed to something he is committed to it wholeheartedly (100%). This statement is a reminder for me to never be so committed to something that I cannot break the commitment to do something else. Sometimes certain commitments are worth breaking when you no longer have a zeal to do them anymore. I think about my own life how I have been writing since I was 8yrs old and have committed myself to be the best writer possible. I was committed to being a great poet but I realize I was neglecting other avenues of my gift. I was more than just a poet spitting poems on the stage I was a writer who wanted to see my articles in every well known magazine and newspaper. Its funny, writing college papers has perfected my skills in writing and challenged me to be a better writer. I would get frustrated writing papers in college on subjects that were completely boring. However, in the end it motivated me to do research to bring out a masterpiece paper. I knew in my heart it was time for me to branch out in different avenues other than poetry. I was getting tired of the traveling, not getting paid what I was worth and no one really appreciating my gift. But the epiphany came where I understood I had to appreciate my writing gift enough not to put it in a box. The truth is I have really started to enjoy blogging because it is my own space to write letters of inspiration to myself. When I started blogging two years ago I had no idea where this blog would go but God gave me ideas little by little. The blog started to evolve into my life journey of becoming a woman and becoming authentic. It was a slow process but near the beginning of this year my blogging journey took flight. Even when the blogging fever ends then I will be challenged to explore other new avenues in my writing. Timing is everything when it comes to trying something new in your life. I believe when that clock of dissatisfaction starts to creep in with one thing then its time to start fresh with something else. When the excitement is gone and there is no more butterflies something new may be creeping in your heart. If you have no passion for it anymore then maybe the passion is meant for something else. Overall, do not be fearful to spread your wings to try something new. I believe it is a brave thing to step out embrace the adrenaline rush of trying something new. Go ahead, it's okay to try something new!
