The Digest - Week 33 II 2025
A staccato wrap-up of last week!
WROTE about what caught my eye in week #33 – while I was sipping iced coffee in the hot Berlin sun, my brain was already drifting into autumn. Daydreaming of rich tones, light layers, and those magical transitional pieces that work both ways. Click here to see my picks of the week.
CELEBRATED the big 4-0. Yup, I’m *that* old. But honestly? Couldn’t care less about the number, “new era”, or “second half” talk. I feel more in sync with myself than ever before – and no offence, but I wouldn’t swap places with my 30-year-old self (love you, babe, but you were a bit of a mess).
FOLLOWED Elliot Duprey, who breaks down vintage and luxury menswear with a sharp yet accessible eye. He makes fashion history and styling feel both smart and effortless.
BOOKMARKED these super-cute pink-and-white striped cushion covers from H&M Home. I might…
WATCHED “How This Famour Architect Changed America” by Architectural Digest. In this episode, Michael Wyetzner unpacks the extraordinary 70-year career of Frank Lloyd Wright – and how he became one of the most influential architects in history.
FELT very glittery when Taylor Swift announced her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl”. Naturally, I binged everything – interviews, fan-made theory reels, you name it. What amazed (but didn’t surprise) me was how many brands and institutions (Netflix, Pantone, United Airlines, Ghia, and so many more) jumped on the orange-glitter train. That, my friends, is marketing.
OBSESSED over the “perfume bottle” necklace by Aboab. Classic case of being influenced by stylish ladies online – though still not sure if it’s very me.
WORE old silk trousers (similar here), a Sézane silk shirt, Havaianas flip-flops, my Toteme T-lock bag, and Céline sunglasses (on sale!). Also snuck in a chocolate-brown cashmere sweater from COS (men’s section) – the it colour for autumn.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
Lots of love,
Franzi
