A very staccato wrap-up of last week!
WORE a shirt by Sézane, blazer by Filippa K, a navy bandana by Hermès, jeans by Massimo Dutti (linked a similar one here), bag by Laia Alen. and the shoes – already my second pair – by G.H. Bass.
ATE lunch at Chateau Royal in Berlin, where I was invited by Danish skincare brand Honey. The brand launched in 2020, founded by former Danish beauty directors Liv Winther and Bea Fagerholt. Their products are fragrance-free, made with natural, well-documented ingredients – and the design? Absolutely fab.
THOUGHT about these earrings by Patou more than I care to admit – how beautiful are they??
OBSESSING OVER the Balenciaga Mini “Rodeo” Bag (in black, supple, crocodile-embossed calfskin, to be precise). I spotted it on Coco Schiffer – who also writes this Substack (→
) – and, naturally, everything she wears ends up on my wishlist.NEED a new series to watch. If you know anything even *remotely* similar to “Slow Horses”, hmu. Open to other recs too, just nothing too scary pls!
WROTE about my go-to summer fabric: linen. Light, polished, and effortlessly versatile – I’ve worn it everywhere for over a decade. Need outfit inspo (office days to beach escapes, city strolls to sunset drinks…)? Click here for 5 looks that do it all.

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
Lots of love,
Franzi
