Cyclist Chic!

Hello everyone!

wow wow wow! I wonder where this week is gone. :P has been a very busy one, but I have been up to exciting things, such as borrowing clothes from retailers and making up styles for a photo shoot uni project.

Actually I am getting quite excited about the idea of sharing my experiences as a fashion management student with you guys and creating another blog, or renaming this one later on where I can damp AAAALL my fashionista thoughts, vintage findings, happy bargains and showcase my own creations.
We shall see, but now I should crack on with my next Hungarian fab brand!!! :D

Well, there is one thing I have to tell you about me. I am a cyclist. Well, not a very cool one, who pedals with 50 km/h (whatever that must be in m/h) on her sport bike but a very determined one. I cycle in sunshine, fog, wind, traffic, traffic jam, rain and snow. I started 2 years ago, when I moved to Berlin. Well, I have to admit that on the first hand it was sort a financial decision, but on the other hand I LOVE IT. I LOVE THE FREEDOM. I love that you don't depend on anything and anyone. Is the bus late? Is there a traffic jam? All what matters how fast you are. And I just love all this flowery fashion with bikes going about the recent years!

But here is my new brand! UrbanLegend. No flowers, but sleek lines, clever cuts and great fabrics for the urban cyclists of this world!

As they proudly say UrbanLegend is the ultimate 'Budapest based weatherproof cyclewear brand. It was co-founded by fashion designer, Zsófi Geréby.

Brand image is based on comfortable styles, breathable textiles and safety that makes city cycling easier and more fun. But the difference between Zsófi's designs and the usual biker garments that you can get is that you would still feel comfy in these if you are off your bike, doing some shopping, meeting friends or going to work. The general biker stuff might be practical, but we have to say, it looks a bit odd and certainly not chic!

So off you go! Get on your bike! Time has arrived for you to become a chic cyclist with these designs!
Which one is your favourite?
Oh, and they have an online shop, and oh, they deliver internationally...:D

I absolutely adore this silver jacket!!!

love the idea for the background!

Previous collections:

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post and I set you in the mood of cycling before the real winter arrives!

If next time you see a girl in a silver jacket, on a city bike in Aberdeen, that will be me (that silver jacket is definitely on my wish list!), so don't hesitate to say hi and share your ideas, ups and downs with me. Or just comment here. :)

See you till the next LEGEND arrives! :D

Oldie but Goldie

RUN
RELAX
REPEAT

is my new motto! or rather my life, haha. :P and I have to say the middle stage gets often skipped :(
BUT it's a sunny morning and I did have a hot shower to relax, so let's REPEAT and let's focus on RUN. :D and on SHOES.

I will kinda dedicate this post to our better halves, as the previous posts were mostly for the fearer sex. :)

What shoes do the coolest boys wear in Hungary? Adidas or Nike? No! They opt for TISZA!

TISZA, founded in 1971, is generally a streewear shoe company for guys, but I have seen girls running about in those comfy cool sneakers too and there's no reason why we shouldn't stock up a pair for the lazier days and switch our heels for a Tisza. And they do have shoes in softer, rather female colours and smaller sizes.

The past years have also seen the company branching into some limited collections of clothing and accessories such as belts and bags. They always go for a sporty look and practicality, their products are for the urbanists, who are always on the go, riding their bikes around the city.

Unfortunately you can find their stores only in Hungary at the moment, (again one more reason to visit! :) but they have an English version of their site and an online store. (However, at the moment, it is temporarily closed for some reason. :s) webshop

Commenting on the long history and tradition behind TISZA, I tracked down some classic, oldie but goldie looks for you guys, to give a feel of the past and make a comparison with the present.

So here they are.

Haha. I remember from my childhood my father having one of these.

And the present looks. Oh gosh! There's so many styles and combinations, I could hardly choose my favourites. But here they go.

I just love the different shades of purple and the combination of the velvety looking velur and the shinier surfaces!

And some bags:

So I hope you enjoyed this introduction to our coolest streetwear fashion brand in Hungary and that I set you in the mood of browsing their site through a bit! http://www.tiszacipo.hu/en
ENJOY!


I will be back soon with more infos on brands and styles from Hungary, so just keep an eye out and until that:
All comments are very welcomed, please let me know what you think of the brands, of this blog and of life in general!

love,

Back on the horse!

Gooooooooood Morning World!

First of all my apologies for being absent from here for sooooooooo looooooong but I am after a crazy week, that apparently just flew into another crazy week without any break. :P great. -.-' This is the hard life of students juggling uni, work, friends here, friends abroad and sleeping withing 24hours and 7days a week.

But you realise it worths it, when after complaining about your life generally to your Mum on skype, she suddenly, out of the blue tells you: 'OMG. You became an adult.'

It sort of took me by surprise as I am 22, living alone since more than 2 years and Mum just saw me a month ago. (Apparently I was still a kid back then. :P) But very well! I am a real grown-up now, according to her and I got so excited over my new ADULT myself and life that I had to share this LIFE-TIME-MOMENT with you guys. :D

This kinda made me nostalgic, so here is a pic from the days of my youth :p as a model in Hungary.

But going on with this blog, as some of you may have noticed, I have changed my header again and I am still arranging settings around. So please bear with me until I figure out my style and the DOs and DONTs of blogging.

I've just decided to post here my old header, as I worked a lot on it, and even though I don't wanna use is anymore (or shall I?), I kinda find it a shame not to have it here at all.

And now really getting back to the topic of this blog, my very next Hungarian brand post is to come today.

See ya very soon!

ÁERON intern

Fantabluous sunny day people!!!

Today you get to know your new ultimate wish-list super CHIC Hungarian brand! hm...maybe too many superlatives in one sentence though haha....anyway

I have the pleasure to introduce you guys to ÁERON. And share with you, how lucky I was this summer as I had the chance to intern for them and witness inside operation! Indeed I could visit the factory and follow on the production processes as well. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos, not thinking of this blog at that time.

The short bio:
Eszter Áron, founder and designer of the brand studied Fashion Design in Hungary and comes from a real fashionista family, with her grandfather having been a tailor and textile factory director in Hungary and her mum working within the business side of the industry as well.

Eszter uses clean lines, master cutting and fab textiles to create her collections. I have to tell you! I loved the textiles. They mostly come from Italy and some from Japan and they are just first class! You cannot end up with anything wrong from something so good. :)

Nevertheless here are some pics to get the brand image:

From last season (spring-summer 2013)

From this season (fall-winter 2013-14):

All copyright for these photos go to ÁERON. Please follow the link to the website.

Opinions please!? :D

Personally I love their summer collections. The winter ones are just a bit too dark for me, but well yeah, what can we expect for the cold days of the year? We all wanna get drapped in black, hide and cozy up under large and warm garments.

But going back to SUMMER! my favourite season of all! (I wonder why...:D) I just love the combination of beige and brilliant colours! My favourite is the half nud coloured-half red skirt and top combination!

Pictures of next summer are not up yet but I have seen the collection already and I can tell you, it worths saving up for it! You will get loads of light leather immitations in faded, still bright primary colours, hot shorts, feather-light long dresses and 'look-always-chic' tops.

The only drawback is that they have no store and you cannot buy online either yet. :(
They are working through an agency in New York, where buyers can order in from their collections.

However, if you are very desperate for a masterpiece, throw an email to them and ask for the new collection pics. (They wouldn't take orders for this season already.)

So, Which styles did you like the most ladies and lads?

Hope you enjoyed this entry! Let me know your opinions!

pápá!
