ONE OF THOSE SUMMER DAYS.. AND MEMORIES

I was going through pictures on my external drive, my laptop and flickr account. I found so many unpublished pictures and stories, so many finished and barely started scraps of what were supposed to be blog posts for you. Stories, reminders, memories for me. A journal and account of my life for us.
So much has gone lost, stuck in internet limbo because I never finished typing my thoughts, or unready to hit the publish button.

Among those I found these pictures. I still remember that day vividly. It was the opening of Umami Berlin, tucked in side street behind SoHo House. (Dikjubi had successfully opened his little restaurant - Umami. It's really good!) The taste of his mini burgers and the conversations we had. How especially pretty I thought Louisa looked, the sound of Lisa's laugh in the middle of a conversation and the exact temperature of that day on my skin.

ZOOKIE THE NEXT LEVEL - OUTFIT WITH MY NEW BAG

Hey Guys,

I'm back from a more or less successful shopping trip. Got some stuff for Fashion Week. Anyway I wanted to show you my outfit with my new bag that I won from Zookie. It's from their new "The Next Level" Collection. Still got to show you the pics from the launch! So happy I won. Love the duffel bag, because it's perfect size and real suede. My big fat dslr camera fits along with my big purse and keys and lipstick and sunglasses and and and.. all at once! Also how perfect are my earrings? Love love love those since the day they arrived. Can't believe I haven't shown you any earlier..

ALMOST CHRISTMAS

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.

IFA WITH BABYLISS: MY FIRST TIME AT IFA

My BabyLiss Bürste zu kaufen

What does a fashion blogger do at a electronic trade show? It's not that farfetched. After all I am a consumer and I consume goods. So I was here to check out the latest consumer goods that are of interest to me.
The reason I visited IFA in the first place was because BabyLiss invited me to come check out their newest products and for some hair styling. Since I'm having extension (however I still use the BabyLiss curling iron that I got at the Berlin Blogger Meet Up to curl my extensions every now and then. And it has worked well til now without burning my face of xD ) I asked Louisa my best friend to test the products for you.

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.

THESE WERE MY SUMMER ESSENTIALS

I think today was the last day of summer. It was a hot day, 22°C. After being tortured over the tracking field for twelve minutes (Damn you Cooper! Damn you Cooper Test!) I enjoyed the day sunbathing on my balcony, sucking up all the natural vitamin D from what were probably the last summer sun rays.
Someone asked me to blog about my summer essentials.
Here is what I think.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN AT THE CORNER BERLIN EVENT

Yesterday I had the honour to attend the Alexander McQueen cocktail reception held at The Corner Berlin. Together with Jasmin I visited the event to enjoy some drinks to music and the 19 piece runway collection that was exhibited in the store in attendance of Sarah Burton. Yes, the creative director of Alexander McQueen was there in flesh. :)

Gestern hatte ich die Ehre die Alexander McQueen Cocktail Rezeption im The Corner Berlin zu besuchen. Zusammen mit Jasmin besuchte ich das Event, um ein Paar Drinks zu Musik und den Anblick der 19-teiligen Runway-Kollektion zu genießen, die dort im Beisein Sarah Burtons ausgestellt wurde.  Ja, die Kreativ-Direktorin Alexander McQueens war höchstpersönlich da.

EDGED SHOWROOM

As I told you before, Edged Showroom was also on my event list for the Fashion Week Opening. And so Carrie and me headed to the Edged Showroom in collaboration with Fier Management before the Blend and Ichi Shows and the FQ1924 launch.

Wie euch bereits gesagt hatte, stand auch Edged Showroom auf meiner Eventliste für die Fashion Week Eröffnung. Und deswegen gingen Carrie und ich zum Edged Showroom in Kollaboration mit Fier Management bevor es mit den Blend und Ichi Shows und dem FQ1924 Launch weiterging.

PREMIUM YOUNG TALENTS SHOWCASE

The day before yesterday I took Carina with me to the Premium Young Talents Showcase Awards that took place at the Galeries Lafayette. The winners of the Young Designer Awards in summer were honored with a special shop window decorated by the Window Dresser Award winner Ewen Gur.
And we were one of the guest invited to celebrate this.

Vorgestern ging es mit Carina zu den Premium Young Talents Showcase Awards, die im Galeries Lafayette stattfanden.

Und wir waren einer der Gäste, die eingeladen wurden, um dies zu feiern.

WINDOWS 7.5 PHONE HOTEL

Another event I haven't had the chance to talk to you about is the Windows 7.5 Phone Hotel. Remember how I told you that I've finally conquered the challenge of attending two events in one night? Well here is the night I did.

•••

Noch ein Event von dem ich euch noch nicht erzählen konnte, ist das Windows 7.5 Phone Hotel. Erinnert ihr euch, wie ich meinte, dass ich es endlich geschafft habe zwei Events an einem Abend zu besuchen? Nun, hier ist die Nacht in der ich es schaffte.

ANOTHER MANGO STYLENIGHT

Hey guys! :)
It's been a little quite here and I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently.
Here are a few pictures from the Mango Stylenight that was at the beginning of this month.
We didn't stay long and it wasn't nearly as busy as the Stylenight back in February when Andy from Stylescrapbook came by.
School has been a little crazy at the moment but by the end of this week I'm on holidays! :D

•••

Hallo ihr Lieben! :)
Hier ist es in den letzten Tagen etwas ruhig geworden und es tut mir Leid für den Mangel an Updates.
Hier sind ein paar Bilder von der Mango Stylenight, die am Anfang dieses Monats war.
Wir sind nicht lange geblieben und es war nicht annähernd so voll wie die Stylenight im Februar, als Andy von Stylescrapbook da war.
Schule ist in letzter Zeit so stressig, aber am Ende der Woche habe ich Ferien! :D

BIRTHDAY AND AMERICAN APPAREL EVENT

As some of you already know from my twitter I went to the AA shopping event and my best friend's birthday dinner last night. The AA event wasn't that spectacular and since I wasn't planning on buying anything anyway, I left after one minute xD ...Oh yes and because I was late for my best friend's birthday. Haha! :)

•••

Wie manche bereits von meinem Twitter wissen, war ich gestern Abend beim AA Shopping Event und beim Geburtstagsdinner von meiner besten Freundin. Das AA Event war nicht besonders und da ich eh nichts kaufen wollte, bin ich nach einer Minute wieder gegangen xD ...Ach ja und weil ich spät dran war. Haha!:)

HELLO FROM VERONA!!

Top: New Yorker

Skirt I Rock: H&M

Shoes I Schuhe: Mode 360°

Bag I Tasche: TK Maxx

Hey guys!
Sorry I've been a little absent the last days, but that was due to my packing and getting ready for my 2 week holiday trip to Verona! I arrived safely last night and today I have been walking around town with my family and friends.
The weather is HOT; SO MUCH BETTER than rainy old Berlin.Yet I managed to catch the cold my brother brought with him from Berlin. -.-
My favourite flats got spoiled today (Hello?! I just bought them a month ago!). I guess I'll have to go look for new ones tomorrow.
Somehow I managed to get my entire closet to Italy (even though I didn't feel like packing anything!). It was already 3 Kilos overweight, I don't know how I'm going to get my shoppings back to Berlin.
Oh I still have lots of posts from Fashion Week!
Thank you guys so much for all your lovely comments I have been getting lately! You guys are amazing!
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and enjoy some more sun! :D
I hope we'll go back to Lago di Garda this week :)
Oh yes, before I head out to eat, You HAVE to try Pana Cotta ice cream! Delissshhh!

•••

Hallo meine lieben!
Tut mir Leid, dass in den letzten Tagen so ruhig hier war. Schuld daran waren meine Vorbereitungen für meine  2-wöchige Reise nach Verona! Ich bin gestern gut angekommen und heute war ich in der Stadt mit meiner Familie und Freunden spazieren.
Das Wetter hier ist HEIß, VIEL BESSER als im regnerischen Berlin. Und trotzdem habe ich es geschafft, mich an der Erkältung meines Bruders anzustecken, die er mit sich aus Berlin geschleppt hat. -.-
Meine Lieblingsballerinas sind heute kaputt gegegangen. (HALLO?! Die hab ich gerade mal vor einem Monat gekauft!). Muss mir morgen wohl Neue kaufen.
Irgendwie habe ich es geschafft meinen gesamten Kleiderschrank mitzubringen, (obwohl ich kaum Bock hatte irgendetwas einzupacken!). Mein Koffer hatte schon 3Kilo übergewicht, ich weiß nicht wie ich meine Einkäufe wieder mit nach Berlin nehmen kann.
Oh ich hab noch eine menge Posts von der Fashion Week!
Vielen Dank für all die lieben Kommentare, die ich in letzter Zeit bekomme! Ihr seid einfach klasse!
Ich kanns kaum erwarten morgen wieder aufzustehen und noch mehr Sonne zugenießen! :D
Ich hoffe wir gehen wieder zum Lago di Garda diese Woche :)
Ach und bevor ich jetzt Essen gehe, Ihr MÜSST Panna Cotta Eis probieren. Leeeecckkeerrrr!

Love Lois xxx

He stopped me for a quick Streetstyle shoot :) Later I went to pick up a camera, the famous Diana, at the Lomography shop for Fashion Week.

•••

Nach den Premium Young Designer Awards wollte ich noch einmal last minute shoppen gehen für die Fashion Week um meine "What the hell should I wear"- Krankheit aka WTHSIW?!?! zu beseitigen. Als ich die Straße überquerte, rannte ich zufälligerweise in Jason und seinem süßen Freund Ayie! Der stoppte mich dann für ein kurzes Streetstyle Shooting :) Später ging ich noch zum Lomography Store, um mir die bekannte Diana für die Fashion Week abzuholen.
