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.

COLORS AND PRINT MIX I #FCfindyourlook

Hey Guys,

I've been thinking about visiting Fashion Week abroad. It's time for me to see more than Berlin Fashion Week and Fashionchick is giving away this huge opportunity with the #FCfindyourlook competition. With the first Save The Dates popping up in my inbox I'm left with a is it already Fashion Week yet?! feeling and the desire to explore more than just Berlin.
Of course London, Paris and New York have been a huge dream for me and crazy enough I have received invitations to London and Paris before. But I never went and I've never attended for reasons like buying a plane ticket and the expenses of staying. Another city that's always been of interest for me has been Stockholm and Amsterdam Fashion Week.
With this huge opportunity from Fashion Chic, an all paid expense trip including tickets to shows and meetings with other bloggers and fittings, it seems like a dream so close to come true. Hopefully I'll win! I cant wait to blog from Amsterdam and share my adventures with you. Keeping my fingers crossed! Will you vote for me?

ALL PEPE JEANS EVERYTHING

This is one of the looks I created during the Pepe Jeans Event. I immediately fell in love with this two piece set with the graphic print made of old school fotos and what looked like newspaper excerpts I their really gorgeous showroom amongst all the other pieces we got to discover. The lemon colored leather jacket (colorful leather jackets are my Must Haves for this summer!) was a stunner and I loved pairing it with the two piece. There's a second look I created which I'll show you soon. Hopefully the weather is going to be warm again soon. (hello summer?! where art thou?) And then it's finally no tights, colorful leather jackets and cute little two piece sets weather!

BETWEEN PEPE JEANS AND LEVIS

If you are reading this I'm either finishing of some uni stuff (starts next week. Nay!!) or I'm on my way to work at the final show of Face of Africa Germany that's going down tonight.
Last week, between our appointments Jacky and I took a minute to capture our outfits. I usually show you my outfit in the same event post, but I was dressed in so many different clothes that day plus we found a really nice spot by the water not far from the Pepe Jeans Showroom. All the more reason to make this a separate post. We were really lucky last week, the weather decided to be on its best behaviour. I'm not even wearing tights!

SEEK NO FUTHER POP UP STORE OPENING

Last week Seek No Further opened its doors to their new Pop Up store in the heart of Berlin Mitte. The store opening was quite a success, since the store was packed as Schwarz Don't Crack ?? for good tunes and the margaritas kept coming way passed closing time. Best margarita's ever! (Yes yes yes to melon and passion fruit margaritas straight from a slushy machine).
I enjoyed myself checking out the store during the press preview hours and had a closer look at the collection. I came back for the little welcoming party afterwards and even had a good chat with their London manager in the breezy night. Berlin's nights are becoming warmer and warmer. Hello Spring? (Let's not get too excited all yet. Don't wanna jinx it!) Perfect time to stop by for some Spring/Summer basics at their Pop Up Store. Seek No Further is the new premium line of Fruit of The Loom and offers clean cut basics and not so basic basics with a little twist made from different high quality materials. They are very experimental with textures and materials. A white jumper thats actually black but completely printed white? Or inside out jumpers? Already got my eyes on that slippers I saw and the dark printed dress. Definitely keeping Seek No Further on my watch list..

SATURDAY ROOFTOPS

Saturday was a lovely day in Berlin. It was sunny and it felt like spring was upon arrival. I spent my first half of the day working from the Aletto Hotel roof top. (So wanna come back up here when it's truly summer!). We were shooting for Face of Africa Germany. Well I was pretty much only observing and assisting, but I had my camera with me so at some point I took it out and it all evolved into little foto session up in the skys of Berlin. Also I couldn't help but snap these beauties in between the breaks and I just had to share these pictures with you.
For the day I choose my I don't know but I was really feeling the mix of glitter, jeans and leather dressed down casually paired with my favorite boho chic bag from Stradivarius and one of my coolest Weekday sneakers. Also I kinda tried the neckparty thing. Gotta find proper necklaces for a decent neck party. Anyway...
Have a lovely week guys!

"MODEL" OFF DUTY

Hahaha well not Model, but I was highly inspired by Stockholm Streetstyle's Model off Duty section for my post title today. Anyway as you know and saw on Instagram I had a shooting for Adidas NEO on yesterday and this is what I wore to it. I was a bit nervous because I'm not a model and although taking pictures of myself almost daily and posting them on my blog/facebook/twitter it is different when you are suddenly posing in a production full of professionals for a label with their team. I'm super lucky to have been in it with NEO because you know how much I really love the Adidas NEO team and how they always make me feel at home around them, plus I already knew the photographer personally and my co-"models" were my friends Annie and Chi. :D

ABOUT FEELING STYLISH IN WINTER

In these dark cold winter days I love nothing more than my H&M Trend jumper that envelopes me in its warmth, cuddles me like a mother and caresses me like a lover. It's super cold outside but the dark days are over. Or so at least it feels. It's still cold outside, but the days are not deep blue anymore, they're sunny but cold.
I remember taking these pictures during one of those chill kissed deep blue days, where each breeze made me shiver and I was sure the Snowqueen was calling for me.

To be honest I don't know what I was doing taking outfit pictures outside. Being idiotic? It could have come close to a death wish, but I think I managed the art of looking good in winter without getting down with a flue or simply just freezing for once - for the first time, a skill I will never stop admiring the Scandinavians for. Deep down I felt a little Scandinavian timeless chic in my outfit and I will shamelessly admit this is probably my favorite outfit I've ever worn. So I had to capture it. For you, for me. But mostly I needed to record my advancement in the right direction towards looking great in winter while keeping warm.As you know I always wonder how they do it. How to strike the balance between being appropriately dressed and being stylish.
It's nourishing, it feels like an accomplishment and it feels good.

THE HUNKEMÖLLER SWIMWEAR COLLECTION LAUNCH EVENT IN BERLIN WITH SYLVIE MEIS

Two weeks ago Hunkemöller launched their swimwear collection for SS14 here in Berlin and Sylvie  Meis looking way too beautiful to handle - her silk rosy ensemble? Fab! - was a special guest since she presented her capsule collection for Hunkemöller as well. The event was really gorgeously laid out with palm trees and drinks filled in coconuts truly chaneling the summer vibe, all of it making me want summer so badly of course. In a relaxed atmosphere I had the chance to have a closer look at the collection. From pretty pastels to gorgeous tribals prints, to neon, graphic prints and classic black pieces, it's all there in this collection. My wishlist grew with every piece I saw and suddenly I had 10 more reasons why I need to look sharp this summer and hit the gym asap, because as Hunkemöller says, I plan to Make It Unforgettable! It being this summer..

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 3 - BREAD&BUTTER 2014// DRYKORN, MAVI AND MORE

My third day at Fashion Week started with a meeting with Point Rouge. We met over breakfast in a really cute restaurant in Mitte with just one handful bloggers. All I can say for now is that there will be lots of projects planned for this year, so stay tuned. Can't wait to uncover what they'll have in store for us, especially since part of my blog make-over is introducing more beauty and dedicating an entire section to it and I'm sure Point Rouge will have some great opportunities for everyone sat at that breakfast table that day.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 1 - FIRST SHOWS AND BLUE YARD AND TOPSHOP PARTY

After a very busy Monday - ZEITmagazin Konferenz, Nokia workshop and partying a little too long at the Stylight aftershow party, I of course slept through my first show Ivanman at 10.30 but made it in time for the next thing on my oh so busy schedule: Lena Hoschek. And I'm happy I made it on time, because it was truly magical. Lena Hoschek never fails to wow with her shows. Although Lena Hoschek is not exactly my style, her shows want to always make me channel my inner lady and get lost in her vintage touch and the world of Pin-Up and sexy women. She's super retro in a really good way.

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..

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?

ALMOST CHRISTMAS

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.

BIG WATCHES, KITTY FLATS AND THE MAGIC OF ST. OBERHOLZ

St. Oberholz is a great place to get some work done. It's a small cafe in Berlin Mitte and the dress code is: Bring your Laptop (Macbook to be precise..).  I've had a few business meetings here. And I always left the place enriched, inspired and ready to conquer the world with new ideas.

Last time I was at St. Oberholz with a group of friends we were working on #THESECRETPROJECT (News will follow. Details as well... Time will tell) which has kind of been put on hold for now. Oh well... How awesome is my XXL sized watch please? It's by Festina UK and was a gift from Valmano I got to keep after my shooting for Powerkeks PR. It's one hell of a watch, but I've just discovered that I'm really into huge watches on my wrist. Yeah I'm that girl. Kinda like Go Big or Go Home! My kitty flats that I got from Mirapodo have been safely tucked away until next Spring. How I will miss those! I was practically living in them 24/7..

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.

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.

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!
