BERLIN FASHION WEEK DAY 4 - BLACK ON BLACK ON BLACK

Hey Guys,

I'm back with my final look from Fashion Week. Unfortunately I ended picking up my brother from hospital instead of running around my last 2 shows because he had an accident, so I didn't actually get to wear my last look to Berlin Fashion Week. But since I had been looking forward to this look the entire week and it had been one of my very few planned looks I had to shoot this look anyway afterwards as I was and have been dying to share this one with you. It's super dark for a typical "me" look. I usually go with colorful choices, but sometimes, every now and then I feel like exploring my dark side.

THOUGHTS ON INFLUENCER AND THE BLOGGERSPHERE - BERLIN FASHION WEEK DAY 1

Hey guys!

How has your week been so far? I'm still procession what's been going on in the bloggersphere right now. Every season after Fashion Week its the same old story, a bunch of "Why I hate Fashion Week"- post surface right along with "Why I hate people that write about why they hate Fashion Week" counterparts. While there may be some good arguments on both sides it gets boring. It's the same old shit. I was ready to brace myself for the wave of those again, not bothering to take a stand on my own, because what I'll say has been said numerous times in rephrases.

L IS FOR LOIS x FOOT LOCKER: HOW TO STYLE A SNEAKER 4 WAYS

Every year the same old story: Foot Locker's Week of Greatness. It's a become a tradition here on the blog and I never get tired of it. Foot Locker releases a crazy bunch of super cool sneakers and I get to highlight my favorite here on the blog. This time I chose the Puma Fierce that I styled up in four completely different ways. Can we just take a minute to acknowledge the fact that Puma has made a major comeback this year? Ever since Rihanna took over it's been going uphill. Well played Puma, well played. Of course Foot Locker released a few new Pumas (like the Puma Fierce I'm wearing) during Week of Greatness, along with some sick Jordans and Adidas NMDs, some in exclusive colour ways to Foot Locker.
In honour of Week of Greatness I decided to show you 4 different ways I'd rock sneakers. Here is my week in sneakers lookbook. Friday's we wear high heels to party :P
If you know me, you know I hardly ever wear heels IRL. Nothing goes over the comfort of a sneaker..
But keep reading to see the looks! :D

NEW LOOK

So I  bought something on New Look last night because I stumbled across the most perfect leather accordion skirt I've been looking for for weeks and I have to admit my shopping wasn't the greatest. It took me forever to check out because one of the items had sold out but the site wouldn't update and let me know which item to remove or remove itself. I finally got through, I just hope they've fixed their technical difficulties probably due to high maintenance during flash sales and sale season. Anyway stumbled upon coats for 50% off.. since winter is upon us, get coated! Ends 31st October.

BRIGHT COATS BUT TRACKPANTS

I'm loving this bright blue coat that I got from Otto. It is perfection to cure the winter blues. Sounds ironic. It's not.
It took me a while, but Otto surprisingly has a few hidden gems tucked in their online shop, waiting patiently for you to uncover them. Patience is the key word. Look through it with time.
Also I've been pretty much living in these sweatpants I got from Footlocker during the press days. It's an exclusive to footlocker piece and it's made winter so much more bareable. You'd probably associate sweatpants with a lazy-at-home look or as King Karl would say: "if a woman is out in sweat pants she's lost control over her life."
Who said sweatpants couldn't be chic?
I, for one, am regaining control of my life.
Yes, in sweatpants.

BY MALI

I shot some really awesome pictures with my friend Mali a little while back. I've shot a couple of outfit pictures in this location, yet I never realized how stunning this place could look in pictures.
It's all about perspectives.
Mali and me make a great team. Whoever is behind or in front of the camera, it feels comfortable, natural. And the results never fail to amaze me. Sometimes I can't stop taking pictures of her and I feel like I've got it, but she disagrees. I know it's not me, or the pictures. It's something personal. I really enjoy taking pictures of her. She's naturally beautiful and her style is amazing. Two things that make it impossible for me to stop pressing the shutter release.
She's perfect to practice photography skills on (of which I have none), and developing the eye, which seem like a pair of sunglasses I put on whenever I'm with her, shooting her.

I'm loving the pictures I've shot with her. Of course it would only be cruel not to share. Hope you enjoy jet another set by wonderful Mali.

I'm off to hang out with the Keds Team. See you on Insta!
@LisforLois if you have forgotten ;)

I WEAR WHAT I LIKE AND I LIKE WHAT I WEAR - ABOUT BEING TOO FAT FOR CROP TOPS

Hey Guys,
How have you been? Just wanted to share my outfit I chose for the NEO Brunch with Adidas NEO in Munich earlier. Finally get to show you one of my favourite summer jackets which is this flower bomber from the Selena Gomez for Adidas NEO collection.
I've been living this combination lately:  a pair of rad ass and comfortable sneakers, high waisted skater skirts (perfect to accentuate my rather small waist and hide my growing belly under them ;) Reasons to wear high waisted skater skirts: Check! Double check! These kind of skirts were made for my body shape and I adore them!). Paired with a crop top as to give the illusion of me being super skinny, because you know, crop tops are for skinny girls.

FROM TOKIO TO BERLIN - UNIQLOO PRE OPENING

Uniqlo has arrived in Berlin and I got a tour around the very huge new store at the Kudamm (Tauentzienstrasse 7) yesterday prior to its official launch which will be tomorrow.
Never have I seen a store with so many basics, from blouses in all colors of the universe to T-Shirts and polos, in plain colors, with prints, polka dots or stripes and prints - Uniqlo is filled with them. Quite fascinating actually! But that's what they specialize on, basics and making them functional for all aspects of life.
Uniqlo will be open the entire weekend (Sunday included) and they're offering quite some discounts for the opening weekend, like 100% cashmere jumpers with a 10€ discount and many more offers. So if you happen to check out the store this weekend you might as well take use of the discounts offered.

THIS IS MY MAGIC HOUR

My Magic Hour.. I remember those daybreaks after long party nights with my friends. We're on our way home, as one of points  to the sky "wow look at that sky today!" before my eyes fall shut and I wake up in my bed hours later questioning how I manage to get there safe.

My golden hours as day turns to night are usually spent during summer, somewhere at the Krumme Lanke while laughing with my friends and we forget ourselves, before we notice it has suddenly been dark for more than hour. And we get ready to skinny dip. There's the moment of freedom and carelessness in that magic hour and the sky, God's painting, corresponds.

FUR COATS AND DISCO PANTS

First outfit post of 2013! Sorry for not much happening here in the first week of the new year, but how have you been holding up? Made any new years resolutions? I'm working hard on my new blog, the new L is for Lois and I can't wait for it to go live. I'm just really sick of my ugly ass layout that I pieced together upon opening this blog. I really need some changes. In my life, my blog and the future.

I should really wear my disco pants more often. For me it was more of my going out /going clubbing fancy pants, but I think it works perfectly fine during the day. This winter so far has been all about my Zara pimp coat, even if it makes me look like a little puff ball.
About turtlenecks, I hated those to the moon and back because I always felt like they would strangle me and of course my mom would force me into those every winter during my child hood. This one I'm wearing is actually one of my favorite jumpers this winter. I bought it myself from H&M Trend last year and I kind of think turtlenecks are super chic. Funny how you hate one thing and then a few months later it can become your most favorite thing. What have you hated, then suddenly loved?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Finally some words from me in the new year: Happy new years guys!!

Hope you all had a great night and celebrated the arrival of 2013 with a blast or were in the company of people you love. I went homeparty hopping and let's just say New Years Eve doesn't always turn out as planned ;) Nonetheless I had a fun night...
I'm wearing my new Beyonce x H&M dress that my friend Ina gave to me as a present.
I didn't actually spend New Years Eve in high heels, I had flats on :D

Dress I Kleid: Beyonce x H&M

Shoes I Schuhe: New Look

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.

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.

IFA WITH MONSTER: MY LOOK

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.

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.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 1

Twice a year there is this week that revolves solely around fashion. And it's called fashion week. 4 wonderful hectic days filled with nothing but shows, presentations, openings, cocktail receptions, launches and parties all in the name of fashion. This season was yet again pretty crazy for me.
Day 1. Here we go!

THE NELLY HIGH HEELS TOUR + GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)

This is the last post from my event filled week right before my L.A. trip. But I also have a surprise for you guys, so keep reading!
Okay so after seeing videos from previous Nelly High Heels Tour parties that are such a huge success especially in Skandinavia plus my missed chance to visit the first German Nelly High Heels Tour, I was all the more excited to visit this time. The Nelly High Heels Tour took place at my favourite club in town: Asphalt. Surrounded by shoes shoes and more shoes every girl and high heel lover was pretty much in heaven.

7FAM "BLACK&WHITE" LAUNCH EVENT

Visited the 7 for all mankind store to support Amandine at her cocktail reception in celebration of the new 7 for all mankind Black & White collection. Fell in love with the pants. Had fun with Defne, Lisa and Nelly. Met René from Styleranking and I think I bumped into Franzi aka Zukkermädchen. If it's her, she's real zukker in reality.
My favorites from the collection are the white ones with the top to bottom rose gold zipper and the print ones. Seriously loving the mini collection. Such a shame it's limited edition and won't be in stores forever.
