Handmade in Capri

The Man behind the famous Capri sandals, he has been at it for sixty plus years.
 Some of the many shoes piled up in the store
 Color choices
 My Pick

We arrived in Capri two days ago and i am smitten with this place to the point of dubbing it my "retirement spot". Today i found the man i have been searching for since setting foot on the island. He has been making sandals on the island since 1951 for the likes of Jackie O and Julia Roberts (he showed me the ones they bought).

Some O' Berlin


 I met this guy at his full to the brim shop that sold trinkets, furniture, tobaccos, and other things from Africa and the middle east. This place was right up my alley I could have spent hours wondering (or tripping) down the cluttered aisles gawking at his gorgeous things. Sadly i left empty handed unable to stuff anything he sold into my luggage. 



 This was heaven in a takeout bag

We spent three lovely days wondering aimlessly around Berlin taking in all the history. Those were some of the things that caught my eye. Now i'm just waiting for the weather to improve so I can plan my next trip to Berlin.

Rockstar Pants

(Photo by Thomas Van Hollebeke)
Back in high school my best friend lusted over these bright yellow Ralph Lauren pants from the store she worked at. She saved and saved and at the end of the summer she finally bought them. I never understood what the big deal was, pants were always a staple that you bought because they fit just right and were needed for everyday life, nothing like a dress that was completely unnecessary but fun and fit the moment. Anyways while in Berlin i fell in love with these rockstar pants and now I totally understand what the fuss was all about.

Sunlit sleeves

(Photos By Thomas, and Me)
 Found this silk and cotton beauty in the Mitte district in Berlin, i love how the sleeves are totally transparent, but this detail is only visible when your lit by the sun. The top on the dress is elastic so you can pull it off your shoulders to make it go from a formal dress to a beach coverup in seconds. If anyone is interested in buying this piece email me at randikenworthy@gmail.com.

Val D'isere

We have settled in Val D'isere a little mountain town in the french alps. Everyday i wake up pull back the curtains to my balcony overlooking the mountain and my mind is blown. Around me snow is piled 4+ feet, the sky is bluer then blue, and the mountain awaits. I am one truly lucky girl. Next week we are taking a little trip to Berlin can't wait!

Planks



(Photos by Thomas Van Hollebeke)
I just found this awesome little shop/ brand in Val D'isere called Planks. They make a verity of t-shirts with fun sayings like "drop cliffs not bombs" and beanies like the one i'm wearing in these photos. They are an English brand but have opened their first shop in Val D'isere France. I would love to spread this small brand to the states starting with hats. If anyone is interested email me at Randi.kenworthy@gmail.com,  hats start at 30$ they come in many colors and styles and are lined in polar fleece. In my opinion they are the perfect hat for winter.
