The other day one of my music-loving friends asked me which places I’d take Kevin Parker, leader of the band Tame Impala, if I were his guide during Primavera Sound. It was pretty clear that he wanted to test my knowledge of the city after living in Barcelona...

Yes, trust me, sometimes in L.A. you do need a thick knit sweater, some other times you even need a scarf and sometimes -just a few times- you even need both of them together! The funny thing is, since this is an extraordinary phenomenon that only happens in rare occasions and never more than -I...

There it goes, to the top of our wish-list, the new Jasper Travel purse by Acne. We love it because it irresistibly smells like Spring and because the word ‘travel’ is included in its name. The union of these two factors together is also commonly known as pure perfection. You can buy it online,...

It must have been a conspiracy of the elements; there’s no other possible explanation for the fact that buying these amazing red suede sandals (a.k.a. the per-fect shoe) and the change in temperature have exactly happened at the same time. And now, there we are, waiting for the eternal Californian spring to come back…
The red...

Although it is terribly rainy and grey today in L.A. I promise last week I was wearing this for a coffee with my friend Samira at Shutters in Santa Monica. A very glamorous coffee, indeed, but what can I say in self defense, I think I’ve been watching too much Revenge lately and all...

My visit to Barcelona was -as it usually is- shorter than I would have liked. Fortunately, and before I was aware of everything I had to do before I had to leave again, I could attend the opening of Ivori, a new shop in Born neighborhood.

No, actually the name of the entry is not alluding to my itinerary for these holidays although it really could… No, we are talking in here about Xmas shopping, special gifts and interesting events in where to find them and in which you can also spend a -very- good time. There goes our selection....

When holidays are near one seems more encouraged to ask for things, don’t you? You know, leaving little suggestions here and there about those things you wouldn’t mind at all getting on Xmas morning. Ok, let’s start, then: I wouldn’t mind getting, for instance, this beautiful wooden necklace by La Casita de Wendy that...

I am sure this is happening because they had been consigned to oblivion for ages. And now, all of a sudden they have moved again into my closet, threatening to stay. Obviously, the comeback of the white trousers can only be explained -in my case- due to the spring-like fall in California. Yes, it...

It might be because of Black Friday that today I was feeling kind of willing to show you my latest buys… There they go!

It is not that I am going to complain, actually, about stuff like eternal beach and sunshine weather or about the 10ºC temperature difference between L.A. and Berlin right now: no, no, no. It is not that. It is just that, sometimes, I miss this amazing city that is the capital of Germany: Sundays...

Since I started the first photography course when I got to L.A. I felt I wanted to shoot film again (not all the time, of course, developing an average of two hundred pictures on every trip would very probably lead me to the most absolute ruin ever). Then, there was somebody talking to me...

I am starting to feel the urgent need of going back to school, although it might be only as a mere excuse to get this new rucksack by Fred Perry, in a brass-colored cotton twill, which is pure classicism and perfection. You can get it here.
