Harmony, balance and clarity – these sound like good principles for the new year, right? At least this is what the Pantone Color Institute promises us when they announce Emerald as the colour of the year 2013. “Emerald is a lively, radiant, lush, vivid, verdant green which brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world”, comments Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone’s executive director. Last year’s Tangerine Tango had some impact in the fashion and beauty world – let’s see if we are going to paint our nails emerald green by the end of this year!

As our hairdresser moved to London we took the occasion to follow her and get a haircut at Radio Hair Salon plus some inspiration. It was a great trip, apart from meeting our friends, highlights were staying nearly a day in Tate Modern, afternoon tea at the National Portrait Gallery, Fish and chips at Rock and Sole Plaice. A visit at Fortnum & Mason was a must, not just for high quality tea & marmelade shopping but for enjoying their beautiful packaging.

After having seen Björn Richie Lob’s bubbly documentary »Keep Surfing« about river surfers in Munich I just wanted to grab a board and throw myself into the next wave, well, at least in a figurative sense. For besides showing stunning footage of the river surfing itself (I think by now you might have  heard about this phenomena?) Björn focuses on the life scripts of his six protagonists, all of them characterized by a „Just Do It“ attitude. Keep Surfing is a both entertaining and touching movie that animates hopes and dreams out of the ordinary! Besides the great shots the movie’s splashy sound design by BASISberlin really is worth mentioning.
