You’d really have to be living under a rock to not have heard of Sunshine and Shadow yet, and most particularly because their latest collection (S/S/ 2010) has essentially been posted everywhere. This is totally understandable given how visually appealing and colour rich the collection is-that’s why I posted it at least! The label always delivers with soft, comfortable, and very wearable pieces so it’s no wonder that their popularity is growing
Hooray! Colour, print, interesting silhouettes! I have to admit I’ve been feeling a bit down lately given the popularity of black and greys and their overwhelming ubiquity. Too much of a good thing is too much! Winter is grey and boring enough as it is and I look to fashion to help me mentally survive the dark, cold, and dreary months. A parade of colours that mimic the weather is not helpful! So I was much relieved to stumble upon Berlin based Hui-hui who offer some beautiful and creative silhouettes popping with prints and colour. I’ve posted looks from both the Summer 2010 and Winter 09/10 collections. Be sure to click the images below to enlarge

Seeing as I have a tendency to drift into monotonous colour combinations with my clothing I’ve been having a bit of an obsession with jewelry, namely necklaces, lately. Something to bang an outfit beyond the safely stylish. I like ones longer than 12″, and interesting, and well, colourful! So here you are. Remember click for larger, clearer images
While there is a bit too much of the 80s vibe in newcomer Douglas Reker‘s collections, I do very much like some of the gorgeous dye treatments, patent leather embellishment, and many of the silhouettes. He’s only released two collections so far (S/S 09 and F/W 09) and both collections reveal that Reker has some growing to do; however, if he can establish a cohesive vision he definitely has the potential to expand.
Speaking of colour, while I’m not really a fan of German label Gabriel&Schwan’s bags, I do like these chunky, bright nylon rope necklaces. Be sure to check out their website to get a sense of scale.
