Savage Beauty - Pure Fascination

Breathtaking, impressive, dark, fabulous – Alexander McQueen, you are fantastic!

After visiting the Alexander McQueen exhibition 'Savage Beauty' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I'm literally speechless. How could this dark and remarkably creative personality create something so intensive, so fascinating, so disturbing – something so different? He completely changed my view of fashion. The title - 'Savage Beauty' – perfectly matches the exhibit's atmosphere, the dresses and costumes are amazingly beautiful and fierce at the same time.You could literally breath in McQueen's passion for designing! The Kate Moss hologram - Widows of Culloden, autumn/winter 2006–7 – left me speechless, its wordless beauty made me cry. Hats off, Mr. McQueen, you made my heart beat faster – you carried me to a different world! 

In his own words: 'There is no way back for me now – I am going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed were possible' – A. McQueen

You're my Heart

Today you get to see some shots of a wonderful sunny day I spent in Manhattan with my sister! From Washington Square Park to SoHo and back to Midtown - I live in New York City for six months now and I love the Big Apple more and more!

Carrie, 1Oak and a Celebrity

Dear Sex and the City fans, do you recognize the street and door shown on the first two pictures? Yeah, it's Carrie Bradshaw's home! Yesterday I went to Greenwich Village with my friend Lisa to check out Carrie's house – a must for a great SATC fan like me! After going out for dinner at the Mexican restaurant 'Caliente Cab', we decided to head to one of the hottest Manhattan clubs, 1Oak. And guess who we just bumped into on the street? Kellan Lutz, known as Emmett Cullen from the Twilight movies, what a sweetheart!

Lisa, cutie :*
