Parisian fashion blogger Antoinette S is trying to make the 2000s happen again. Fashion-wise, let us call it an interesting choice… but as a person born at the end of the 90s, this aesthetic is reminiscent of my childhood and I cannot hate it, even if I otherwise should. This instagram account is full of funny collages to send to someone dear to your heart. Grab your favorite pair of low-waisted jeans, a rhinestoned tank-top and tons of colourful accessories to live the Paris Hilton experience.

I have found many wonderful photographers, stylists, and artists through the Link Management agency. At Fräulein, we use them frequently to garner inspiration or to find fresh talents: Thomas Hauser, Paul Kooiker, and many other incredible photographers (and colleagues!) are represented through Link. Follow what they’re up to- you will definitely find someone alluring…

Han Cao creates art that is very appealing to the eye. Her recent works show how she decorates vintage photographs and postcards with embroidery and extra pops of color. Dear Han Cao, if you could do the same to the photo on my ID card, I would be more than grateful!

Isabelle Wenzel is a photographer, artist, and trained acrobat. All of her work reflects this. If not using her own body, she is using her contortionist friends and performative models. What we experience is a topsy-turvy, playful mix of fashion and poses that make me start searching for Pilates studios near the office.

There are a lot of places that I would like to visit one day. The area where Ramona lives is definitely on the list. She seems to live in a vintage fairytale made of cottages, winding roads, dreamy castles and delicate flowers. I am not ashamed to say that I am a little jealous. Don’t search for me, I’m leaving for England.

Instagram added a new function call “Reels” this week, allowing its users to upload 15 seconds animated videos in a similar style as the application TikTok. Inspiring DJ Peggy Gou show us her motivation tricks via a mini series of Reels videos. We don’t know if this new support is gonna be a thing yet, but if people use it as Peggy Gou does- in an informational and supportive way- we should probably Gou for it.

Mushrooms are so beautiful. And I am not referring to the psychedelic trips some bring (though I have heard those are nice, too.) Tivoli Mushrooms is a micro mushroom farm about an hour north of Manhattan in the Hudson Valley. These mushrooms are presented as if they are bouquets. Present your next date with a lionsmane and you are sure to impress if not amuse. If not, dump him. And keep the mushroom.
