Wild on Wheels November 20, 2009

Our brave fellas from Curitiba Pedro Guimarães and Thiago Peretti are back on the road exploring the wildest corners of South America. Pedro sent some photos from the places they’ve been so far after a month or so of ride. Check them out:

The journey began at Pedro's bar in Curitiba, Pravda.

Again and again, animals are all around. Shoes, clothes, homewear… every summer is the same: there’s always place for leopards, tigers and zebras. But this time there is something new about the prints and colours.

SinK brings to you the new colorful jungle. Check your closet again, maybe you can let your tigers out.

Jimmy Christiane Barcelona November 16, 2009

Jimmy Choo’s collection for H&M was launched on Saturday in Barcelona at the Paseo de Gracia and Portal de Angel branches. Our chica Chris reported that there was a huge queue and in the morning everyone had to wear a wristband to control the time they could spend in the store. Yes: until midday the time for shopping was limited and controled by a wristband attached to people’s arm. At 12h30 pm, the doors were opened for the crowd that was standing for hours outside. At 13h30 pm the only things left were pairs of the excentric shiny shoes pictured below.

Friedrichshain, East Berlin is fast becoming a hotbed for creative talent. The relocation of Universal Studios and MTV’s European HQ’s to the area can vouch for that. No coincidence then the newly opened Michelberger Hotel is located there. The Michelberger offers a boutique, concept hotel to offer those who care about good design a place for the night.

Located in a landmark industrial building that feels like you’re staying at your best mates stylish city pad, the hotel is fun, stylish and individual. With rates starting at 59 EUR per night, dreamers, movers and shakers, lovebirds, soul searchers, artists, craftspeople, globetrotters and Berlin aficionados alike can enjoy this Friedrichshain gem, which hopes to become a Berlin landmark for young and young at heart.  What matters, after all, is inner beauty.

Photos sent by our chick Chris Ortigoza. Danke shoen!
