LA REDOUTE x CORALIE MARABELLE x CHRISTINE PHUNG x ETIENNE DEROEUX

It's been a while since I've done a lookbook post or simply posted pictures of a collection I liked in a kind of an inspiration. Amidst my fashion week diaries I wanted to take a minute and share a special designer collaboration and images of 3 lookbooks with you guys.
Special because it is a collaboration between a giant and three new faces on the horizon of fashion. The french fashion house giant La Redoute known for fashion from shorts to evening robes, has teamed up to support three up and coming fashion talents in a designer collaboration highlighting these young creatives - Coralie Marabelle, Christine Phung and Etienne Deroeux for A/W 2015 collection.
I love seeing big houses collaborating and supporting young designers. It's one of the most refreshing things seeing a new designer at fashion week and thinking about whats next for them. Now they are out in the open, what will they create next? Now that they have the resources and exposure, what will they make? Anyway I very much liked the capsule collections and the lookbooks, which is why I had to share.

MINI UPDATE: I SURVIVED FASHION WEEK, I'M SICK AND MY BFF LEFT FOR NZ

Hey guys,

I'm back. Almost. Well I'm still pretty sick suffering from the aftermath of Fashion Week in winter. How is it that the Scandinavians manage to maintain perfectly styled look, while being totally effortless I must add, during times where the thermometer drops below the 0°C mark? I was fucking freezing. And every day of last week coming home I was on the verge of going down with a flue. And I kept jeopardizing my successful quick recovering immune system by leaving the house the exact same manner the following day. It was almost like layering plus my double layer of 100den tights (currently 1€ at H&M! Go get some!) didn't matter.
Well my body said bye and I'm still down with an awful cold.

GUESS F/W13 SEXY WITHOUT QUESTION

I am a big fan of companies that work with bloggers, companies such as Mango and Adidas Neo Label that recognize the potential and power of fashion bloggers. And the latest project that has caught my attention is the fall/winter campaign by Guess.
Guess teamed up with 5 Fashion Bloggers, two of my personally favourite, Andy and Kenza, for their fall/winter collection with the motto "Sexy Without Question".

I have been patiently reading Kenza's Behind The Scenes post from her latest collaboration with Guess on her blog, which then already looked like a great collaboration and had me wanting to see the final product.
And today it finally launched.
The Denim Diaries - "The European Edition" are part of the Sexy Without Question campaign. Each blogger got to choose and style her own outfits. And starting today you have a daily chance to win their complete outfits for the next 10 days, check out their pictures for the campaign as well as have a look at their videos at http://sexywithoutquestion.guess.eu/. But this is not all. Guess is having a celebration for the months of September and October and has prepared a few surprises. Besides the Denim sweepstakes, every Guess jeans purchase whether online or in store from 6. September comes with a code that is in chance of winning Denim supply for a year. And every purchase from 4th October -20th October comes with a specially designed denim iPad case by Guess.

I love what Guess has done here. (Not to mention I really really adored the Elin Kling collection for Guess by Marciano. Still drooling over the mustard colored oversize jumper! Which of course I need in my life for this fall..). I love the campaign. It's great to see blogger's style a campaign and have their personal spin on things and not to mention the pieces of the collection are to die for. I love the outfits they came up with, especially Kenza's looks and Veronica's jacket (last picture). I've already saved my favourite looks in my denim inspiration folder.

THINKING ABOUT SWIM WEAR

Yeah yeah I know it's still very early to be looking at bikinis or swimwear in general but I have been on the look out for them for a while now because I wanna pack a suitcase with cute bikinis for my Abifahrt (which is like a final class trip after the A levels have been completed except the whole year is going instead of a single class) and partly because looking good in a bikini has been my driving motivation for attending gym. Bikini browsing = finding cute bikinis = all the more reason to hit the gym.

To be honest Esprit hasn't been on my mind ever since the invitation to the store opening at Friedrichstraße that I unfortunately couldn't attend because I was out of town. And since then I never found time to visit the store. But being on the look out for good swimwear I like looking at different places. After a little incentive I directed my attention to Esprit. I must say I'm a little surprised I don't shop at Esprit more often, you know, at least for a few key pieces. I'm loving the entire swimwear collection by Esprit. Esprit's swim & beach 2013 collection has great pieces.
Although I'm personally not a big fan of swimsuits one of my favourite pieces from this collection is the black and white swimsuit. It looks so elegant. But I'm also loving the sixities inspired high waisted bikini set. I think the collection is mix of elegant and fun because of the polka dots, mixed with few print and floral pieces.



My top 3 pieces have to be:

I think I'm going to buy the white bikini with the pink wave print on it...kinda in love

WHITE PERFECTION

ph.: Mango

IN LOVE with this suit from Mango. It's sophisticated yet sexy. And the finishing touch with the gold details, bed head waves.. Nothing screams more perfection than this image above. Not to myself: get an all white suit in a sexy cut.

Good Night.

FEELING QUITE SENTIMENTAL TODAY

I've been having my ups and downs today. Dunno whats up, I guess I'm a little over-emotional today.
...Or blame it on post period hormone imbalance.
I haven't done an inspiration post in a way too long time, so here's what cheered my up today.

I read a really good blog post on Marie's Blog, where I also stole the pictures from. x)

Also I couldn't help smiling and when I watched this video. Not only is it a cover of one of my favorite feel good songs (I like to party to this alone in my room - you guys know what that looks like ;) ), but also I love how Leroy is simply having fun. He's truly gifted. And how cute is he?! :)
So why am I smiling out from ear to ear? Because you put a smile on my face, Leroy. Keep doing what you do.

I'm sporting my MAC Such Flare! Matte lipstick. J'adore very much! Oui oui mon cherie <3

I have an exam tomorrow, so wish me luck.

OH MY!
I need a blouse as sheer as that. A bra as simple as that. Simple straps as delicate that. Paired with black pants as those.

CREAM PERFECTION

via studdedhearts and vanillascented

Totally inspired right this minute by cream, bum bags and black simple strappy heels. Those shoes are by Zara. I should save up for those, because in my eyes they are timeless - pure simple perfection.
If bum bags (what a ridiculous name?!?) would have always looked this glamourous as opposed to this, I would have never said that bum bags are the ugliest piece of crap on planet. This is the way to wear it I'd wear it!
Then again The Row did managed to change my attitude towards backpacks AND even that I would fall in love with a backpack. Well, not any backpacks, this one to be exact. The best thing, I always thought, was ridding myself from much hated backpacks (4YOU remember those?? HAHA) during my transition from primary school to high school.
Who knew I'd actually like a backpack. Well here I am actually loving a bum bag. I shouldn't be too surprised. Cheers to The Row, mesdames Mary Kate and Ashley & cream combined with the simplicity of black strappy heels.

•••

Total inspiriert jetzt genau von der Farbe creme, Bauchtaschen und schwarze simpele Strappy Heels. Diese Schuhe sind von Zara. Ich sollte für die sparen, denn in meinen Augen sind sie zeitlos - pure simpele Perfektion.
Hätten Bauchtaschen immer so glamorös ausgesehen im Gegensatz zu dies, hätte ich nie gesagt, dass Bauchtaschen die hässlichste Scheiße der Welt ist. So sollte man würde ich sie tragen!
Dann wiederum hat The Row es auch geschafft meine Einstellung gegenüber Rucksäcken zu ändern UND sogar, dass ich mich in Rucksäcke verliebe. Naja, nicht irgendwelche Rucksäcke, dieser um präzise zu sein. Das Beste, dachte ich immer, war, dass ich mich von den so gehassten Rucksäcken (4YOU kennt ihr die noch?? HAHA) trennen konnte, während meines Umstiegs von Grundschule zur Oberschule.
Wer hätte gedacht, dass ich einen Rucksack irgendwann wieder mögen würde. Nun ja, hier stehe ich und liebe eine Bauchtasche. Ich sollte nicht so überrascht sein. Cheers to The Row, mesdames Mary Kate und Ashley & creme in Kombination mit der Schlichtheit von schwarzen Strappy Heels.
