YOUGHURT DATE

Met up with some of my fav blogger babes Ina, Dogi, Lisa and Caro a few weeks back. We'd all been invited to Youghurt to try some of their new dishes they've just updated to their menus and the infamous American Cronuts (Croissant + Donut. Totally forgot to try those! :( Such a shame!) so we figured why not all go together and have our meeting there over brunch. We were planning a project which has been put on hold for now. Oh well.. Let's see what 2014 will bring.
Youghurt sells more than waffles and frozen yoghurt now. They've included savory meals such as soups and salads. I recommend the chicken salad. Comes in a super big bowl and that dressing is beyoooond!
I also had a waffle and couldn't resist that Raffaelo cream sauce topping once again.

ALMOST CHRISTMAS

THE VALMANO EXPERIENCE

Thursday night Valmano opened their doors to their Loft (in which btw I would most definitely not mind living in) and gave us a warm heartily welcome by the entire team. As the evening passed by I got to do my nails by Fingerbang Berlin and fell in love with all the jewelry displayed around the loft. Valmano is an online shop that sells supergorgeous jewelry and watches from Sabrina Dehoff to Festina UK Watches and Kenneth Jay Lane. My favourite big ass watch is from Valmano.
In a small group of bloggers we enjoyed our time sipping Punsch (Christmas festive season has definitely begun!!) whilst playing Valmano Bingo and Stadt, Land, Fluß with the funniest categories.
Guess who always won? Me.
Guess who won my heart? Valmano and all the beautiful jewelry they have. Definitely every woman's dream...

THROWBACK: G-SESSIONS BACKYARD BARBEQUE PARTY AT VOO STORE

I'm going to final G-Sessions Party tonight held by G-Sessions. Searching my computer for the invite my search also gave me these pictures. Don't know why I never published these. Especially because it was a really great evening in the backyard of Voo Store. I even bumped into some long lost friends that made that night super fun. Voo Store was packed and the XXL burgers and sweet potato fries (best thing I tasted this summer) along with the soft ice were beyond. It was one of the warm summer nights with the right crowd of people at the right place at the right time. And inside the G-Shock watches were ticking away counting every second we enjoyed.

DIAMOND TEARS

One of the coolest presents I've ever gotten are the Monster Headphones Diamond Tears in crystal that Monster sent to me for my birthday with a sweet birthday note. Louisa and I had been admiring them nonstop in "girls room"(a section dedicated only to women's headphones) back at the IFA in September, so you can imagine how super happy I was when I unpacked those. Believe me, they are a dream. Sound quality is beyond and I don't leave the house without them anymore.

Everywhere I go people stare at my headphones. No wonder, it's not everyday a girl walks around with  huge ass diamonds on her ears.

The jumper I've been wearing almost daily now was a birthday present by my super duper friend Mallyn. It's been a while since I've seen her. Miss her! It's becoming colder and colder day by day and I'm starting to get into a chunky knits mood and overknee boots. I love my overknee boots and it's always a challenge to dress them up without looking like a slut but channeling the classy/effortlessly/chic vibe.

PATRIZIA PEPE "GOLDENIZED" CAPSULE COLLECTION LAUNCH IN BERLIN

Last week Thursday I was invited to the launch event of Patrizia Pepe's Goldenized capsule collection.

The campagne that features fashion bloggers Sylvia Haghjoo, Patricia Manfield and one of my very favourite, Gala Gonzalez was shot by Berlin based street style photographer Sandra Semburg and Nima Benati just two days prior to the launch right here in Berlin at one of my secret hotspots I've recently taken lots of outfit pictures at. Have you guessed? Yes, it's the Museumsinsel. The campagne looks amazing and it's great to see the fusion between a designer label, fashion bloggers and a street style photographer. This campagne is the perfect example of the rising influence of fashion bloggers. Bloggers are the new models, new It girls, new faces and as the latter the new ambassadors.

Our passion for fashion and our following allows us to be taken serious in the fashion industry and end up on posters and displays in stores. No wonder Patricia Manfield, Sylvia Haghoo and Gala Gonzalez were asked to bring a little girl power to the campagne. Besides the street style flair shots there are also classic fashion posters for the campagne that also features the three lovely bloggers.

MTV EMA ROAD TO AMSTERDAM WITH MONSTER DNA HEADPHONES

So my weekend ended with a great night with the Monster team. Monster invited me to come celebrate the beginning of the Road to Amsterdam Music Week series leading up to the final event: the MTV EMAs with them and DNA headphones (pure Monster sound! ;) ) in their VIP lounge at the PURO Sky Lounge, Berlin's MTV Hauptstadt Club. And let me tell you I had a blast!
Monsieur Komplex (you may remember him from my IFA with Monster post) played some sick tunes and I enjoyed getting to know Julia and Polga better and hanging with the Monster crew and also the guys from VIVA and MTV and Monsieur Komplex himself, who all happen to know how to enjoy a good party. I think the pictures tell ;)
Such a shame I wont be in Amsterdam for the actual EMAs, but judging from Saturday's party which was only the start, it's going to be good - real good!

FOOT LOCKER SNEAKER MIX 2013

What happens when sneakers meet music and you add Foot Locker into the equation? That's right, you get a late night party with Stripers (=workers at Footlocker) dancing on the superdimensional deck, the world's first ever sneaker mixing deck (!), creating music with some sick beats, light shows and crazy visuals and an exclusive collection of sneakers that launched this spring/summer. Each pair of sneaker from the Foot Locker Sneaker Mix collection 2013, whether Converse Peelback, Nike Free Run +2 or Adidas Honey Hi as seen in the clip; they all come with a different sound, different visual and different beat that allows sneaker fans to create some cool mixes when interacting with the deck.

ADIDAS STYLE ROOM

"Unite all originals" is next year's big over all theme at Adidas and therefore Adidas is reviving some of their old historic classics as for example the ZX850 sneaker.
As for Adidas Originals in particular - next season in honour of the World Cup to be held in Brasil, Brasil itself has become an inspiration which is visible in the Adidas Originals collection in form of footballs printed all over pullovers or simply the color green and jungle prints as a reoccurring theme.
And what's happening at Adidas NEO? Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will be designing another collection for Adidas NEO next season. Already got my eyes set on Selena's bomber jacket with the sheer arms and floral details.

UGG BOOTS ROWLAND: THE MILITARY STYLE

Hey Guys,

I'm back from the Adidas Showroom which pretty much was like a party between clothes coming up for next season. That DJ? Helllo? Awesomest music ever! Plus I picked up your Selena NEO pullover you can win in my Birthday Box giveaway. The Adidas teams are always open and it's always great to chat with them. Such cool people! After that I headed to Micheal Kors to support their #WatchHungerStop initiative in honour of World Food Day.
Anyway I wanted to show you my first look combining my Ugg Boots. It's getting super chilled lately in Berlin and it's time for fall. I picked out my full leather trousers my mom once got me maybe years ago (one of the few things she brought home and I actually loved xD), which I must admit have completely lost their fit and look baggy in some pictures. However I'm kinda digging that and I'm considering getting baggy leather pants that are meant to be baggy ever since I saw a pic of Kim Kardashian sporting some and actually looking quite fit. Anyone else noticed how rad her style has gotten ever since she started dating Kanye??
I think leather goes so well with my new UGGs. You'll probably be seeing more of that combo.
Anyway I'm so ready for bed.. Press Days start tomorrow and I got a few appointments and on top of that I'm looking forward to checking out some PRs here in Berlin.

Nightie Night!
Oh yes and don't forget to join the giveaway!

HÖR AUF DEIN HERZ CAMPUS WITH COKE LIGHT

Heart disease is the number one killer amongst women living in Germany, not cancer as most people would presume. This is what I learned at the Coke Light Hör auf dein Herz Campus an initiative supported by Coke Light.
With the right diet and a good amount of sports each week you all can contribute to the health of your own heart. I enjoyed the day at the campus since it was a good mix of information and learning by doing. The interactive cooking lessons with those cute guys (who actually have their own restaurant here in Berlin) and a bit of sports with a personal trainer, the medical check up (can't wait to receive my results and find out what my heart is like) and talks with Palina Rojinski, Nadja Uhl and experts all contributed to a good day where I did learn a lot.
Coke Light is having a donation campaign. You can help by using the hashtag #zeigeHerz on pictures with heart motives on instagram. For every picture submitted Coke Light donates 1€. I've already submitted 2 pics. You can check them out on Instagram if you like and find out more here.
Although heart failure and diseases are something that affect old age, it's now that we're still young we can make a difference for later.
As my mom always says "Prevention is better than cure." And I'm starting to get the gist of it.

IFA WITH MONSTER: MY LOOK

DOUBLE DENIM AND A BEANIE

If you ask my friends to play the association game and my name came up, especially during winter, pretty much all of them would say: neon pink beanie.
Ah my beloved neon pink beanie. It actually became my trade mark. You couldn't see me in the dark, but when you saw a 1-50 midget (I'm taller than 150!) with a neon beanie at far you could be 100% sure it was me. Adidas Neo sent me this cute beanie that can be worn inside and out. Good thing I have more beanies to choose from for this fall/winter. They're having a "How do you rock your beanie?" Competition on Twitter at the moment for you guys. You are supposed to show your own style either via twitter or using the social mirror in store. The most creative picture wins.
Be sure to enter for a chance to win a 100€ NEO voucher before September 18th. It's your last minute chance :)

SKYY SWAP MARKET 2013

Last week Friday was my favourite (well, one of my very favourite) parties of the year: the Skyy Swapping Market! Together with Louisa my best friend I enjoyed an amazing night swapping, drinking, swapping, dancing. Well honestly I was there for the drinks, as usual, and donate whatever I couldn't drink. But Louisa did find a cute little jumpsuit which was so me so I had to swap for it. And she seems to be the Queen of Swap, because she just found so many nice pieces to take home. It was a great party just like I expected. And Bonnie Strange played the sickest Hip Hop beats so it was doomed to be a great party. Frank and Designer Scouts keep doing a great job, and I'll keep going to their parties.

MUSIC MEETS MEDIA 2013

When you get a call in the morning from Point Rouge asking you to accompany them, throwing all your previous plans for the day over board and you end up walking the red carpet at the Music Meets Media at the Grande Esplanade you don't simply say no. I was planning on doing a bit of Vogue FNO with my best friend and stop by the Grey Goose cocktail I was invited to.

NEO PANTS CHALLENGE

Here are the pictures of my latest collaboration with Adidas NEO and it's part of the NEO Pants Challenge. Together with Laura from The Limits of Control I represent Berlin Team Blue. Our task was to style a blue trousers from the A/W collection (yes that's the collection we shot in L.A.) and go out to the streets and shoot our style. We ended up at Warschauer Straße and had a great afternoon and fun shooting these pictures. I hope you can see this in the pictures and video as well. I was really happy to work with Laura because she's a really good friend of mine and I was lucky to be put in a team with her. Also we were really lucky with our team color. Being team blue meant I got to pick my favourite trousers I already adored back in L.A.
Keep your fingers crossed for us, because we want to go to the Adidas HQ!!

READY FOR L.A.

When flying I usually try to wear something that's very comfortable. Mostly a long pair of trousers because it can get extremely cold during flights (especially night time flights!), a pair of sneakers and a top paired with a jacket I can easily remove or throw over according to what the temperature is like on board. And this is the outfit I wore during my flight to L.A. with Adidas Neo.

I usually wear the outfit that incorporates most of my clothes I want to bring along, during the day of my flight. Also I consider this as my number #1 trick. It sometimes collides with my "comfortably dressed for flight" rule. However this allows me to bring along half of my closet, even if it's just a three day trip.

LEO LOVER

Here's my total outfit from the day I was hanging out with Dogi& Ina. It's the first time I left my house in high heels without an extra pair of flats to change in. And I survived! I'm wearing my favourite mini leo dress (it's become a little short :/ ... ) and the most comfy pair of wedges I own. You wouldn't think they're H&M Divided.

AMERICAN APPAREL OPENING AND A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IN BERLIN

A few days ago American Apparel opened another store situated right at Hackescher Markt, Oranienburgerstraße. It's much bigger than both of the other stores we have here in Berlin. I brought two of my really good friends with me (You probably already know my best friend Louisa from all my pictures and parties she attends with me.) and we enjoyed a night having a look at the new store and sitting outside enjoying some drinks (they were really good!) and Berlin's warm summer night breeze.
The dress I'm wearing is actually a top from Zara I bought in Size L to make it look like a dress. The perks of being tiny - anything L is a dress!
