A virtual minute with... Some Kind of Style

Fashion blogger Some Kind of Style is based in Germany, and I like her blog because she covers Berlin Fashion Week which doesn't get all that much attention in the traditional press (you know how  much I liked Berlin - check out my blog post, Eye on Berlin, from a few months' back). Here, she shares some thoughts, and made me a nice collage on Poyvore!



What's the difference between you and your blogging alter-ego?
Well, I might say it's kind of a Secret Agent Ego! I try to keep the two worlds apart at the moment...more fun that way for me. Sometimes the worlds collide but no one has gotten behind the secret yet!

What are your favourite fashion websites?
I often visit Trendland for information, as well as Frillr and Style.com, as well as many others...

What are you wearing this summer?
I'm definitely wearing flat sandals of all kinds, cool sunglasses and destroyed boyfriend jeans..or take a look over here: My Summer Style (http://www.polyvore.com/my_summer_style/set?id=20131568&stream=0) made you a quick Summer Outfit Collage...

Eye on Berlin

Oona Galerie

Just back from my trip to Berlin, where I attended the opening party for Soho House. While I unfortunately don't have any pictures (house rules prevent any photographs, but let me tell you it's pretty nice - close in style to Shoreditch House, but bigger) I did take a few sneaky shots from the roof, from where the view is spectacular.


Two views from the roof of Soho House Berlin
There is a large hanging picture of a shark, graffiti-style, in the lobby by Damien Hirst, which he did with a spray can of black ink (it's all about the graffiti in east Berlin; it covers surfaces everywhere).

Cards for, from top, Konk, Oona Galerie and Do You Read Me?!
As well as catching up with my friend Kevin Braddock, the editor of the brilliant Manzine, I managed to check out a few shops on Augustraβe, including Do You Read Me?!, an old-fashioned magazine shop selling every obscure fashion and art title you could hope to see; Oona Gallerie, which was showcasing some eyecatching jewellery, and Konk, which stocks some interesting clothing and accessory brands like Hoyem.
