love letters, wooden crates & wine

For their wedding ceremony Cori & Z of hat & feathers created a wonderful version of an old tradition:

“We put a bottle of wine, two glasses, & a set of love letters (written in secret & unshared) into a wooden crate and then sealed it with nails (each nail was hammered by a family member to show their commitment to supporting our marriage & then finally by us). The crate is meant as an act of reassurance, a romantic gesture–if ever our relationship is in peril, we are to open the crate, drink the wine, & read the letters before we make any decisions about our future.”

Oh yeah, I love it!

Liv is Gentle Women

Fantastic Man just found his significant other!!!
The makers of the best mens magazin in the world: FANTASTIC MAN, published a womens mag as well.
I am sure you will find more rad (wedding-)fashion inspiration in there than in most bridal mags ; )

Liv is gentlewoman. What about you? What are your favorite magazines?
I can’t wait to be done with all moving hassle and find time for magazines and books.

Volcano Eruption & Cubby Houses

Due to a volcano eruption in Iceland all my flights have been canceled.
I had to change all the moving plans, and it has been pretty chaotic.
I learned that you can’t get a mobile phone with a proper plan in London before you have been living here for 3 years and opening a bank account is also a really complicated thing.
So far about the lastest hassle.
The good news: Liv found a new place!
And after spending an incredible hot and sunny spring weekend in East London, exploring new areas, great shops,
looking for the best coffee and sleeping in a cubby house…
I have to say: I am in love…with London!

P.S.: More wedding related posts are on their way ; )

Happy & Hectic Days!
Its so much happening right now.
Liv is in London, still looking for the perfect place to stay.
The weather is amazing. Blooming cherry blossom trees all over the place,
sunshine, blue blue skies, and the warm spring zsa-zsa-zsu feeling inside.
I met so many inspiring great people within the last days.
Liv is in LOVE with London.

i wish i had 1000 hands

via Estelle Deve

I guess we have all been dreaming of cloning ourselves at some days,
when we are feeling overwhelmed by the 1000000000000000000things to do.
Maybe right now having more heads would even be more useful than having more hands.
Or even one clear, focussed, smart, working head could do.
My head is feeling like potato mash right now.
Even coffee is not the answer this time.

Anyhoooo. The picture above shows some rad jewelry from french born, australia based Estelle Deve.
I like way she presented her designs, with this rough collage style.

P.S: Thanks for all the great motivation, Ladies!

suits you!

More, more , more London goodness:
The London based fashion label Social Suicide
The winter 2009 collection, entitled ”Dictators of Fashion”, draws style and structural inspiration from a series of 20th Century military and political heroes and tyrants. Classy!
Day suits in pure wool flannels and evening wear in super 120’s wool cashmere, trimmed and lined in silk. Every piece, as ever, hand made by tailors.

Happy Easter! What are you up to?
Liv will be in London for room&job hunting next week!
So now I am mainly planning and preparing,
as well as having some dog and family time this weekend.
