bread & butter berlin

a pointer custom in the untitled exhibition, originally uploaded by mjane.

aside from it being something you eat on the side, it's also one of europe's biggest fashion tradeshows that takes place in the city of - not the band - berlin.

and after spending 5 days in a city which i can only describe as berlin - because of its unique history (you can see a brick trail of where the wall used to stand), wherein each night i dreamt of cuts, materials, catalogues, seasons and exchanging business cards (thus feeling like i never got any sleep), i'm pooped.

en tout cas, s'est bien passé le voyage à berlin. car c'est une ville metropolitaine, c'est plus comme chez moi - with more young people like me, good shopping, a variety of different foods (not just sausage and beer), art everywhere... in other words, a scene exists there, and that's golden for the l.a. chick that i am.

...okay, weather permitting.

plus de détails à bientôt.

winter colors

the past week was full of colors despite the cold that has hit the south of france. as mackenzie said while he was packing for his overnight trip to lyon for the cliché video premier yesterday, "i hate cold." hear, hear!

champagne, joints, and the boys on new year's eve, originally uploaded by mjane.

one weekend into the new year, and time is already flying! this is a good thing as the flow, yet speedy, is a soft and gentle breeze.

next week starts the soldes craze again for france. like i've mentioned before, all retail stores in france - by law - have huge sales two times a year during the months of january and july. so we're preparing for it this weekend at the shop. as we'll be open til 10pm the first few days of soldes, i'm thinking of giving it a twist. perhaps a happy hour?

enough about work. it's the weekend!
