MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 2

And when I thought Day 1 was going to be my busiest, I was mistaken. I didn't see many shows that day (missed 1 or 2 because of my full schedule), but had lots of events to attend and places to be at the same time. Fashion Week Day 2 in it's full blast!
 All about it below.

HOW TO WEAR: KIDNEYKAREN - A GIVEAWAY REMINDER & STYLE ADVICE

*Giveaway reminder*

Today I want to show you how you can style this piece by kidneykaren. I believe it's meant as a kidney warmer. In my eyes it makes a cute top. (Quick question? Do people actually run around with pieces like these around their belly in winter? So much more clever than onioning! I can testify that this thing - worn as a top- has kept my tits warm all day) Also you still have the chance to win the same piece. And on top of that I'm also giving away a GLOSSYBOX. All details here. Giveaway ends next week.

Ps.: Little tip - check my facebook for another bombastic fantastic THE SHIT-astic giveaway I'm pretty sure you don't wanna miss. Starts with fashion and ends with week.

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.

PRESS DAYS APRIL 2013

This season I did not rush to all Agencies. I checked out Ontime PR and discovered Zoeva, got a few products from Tony&Guy's hair meets wardrobe collection that I'm very eager to try out, stopped by Schröder&Schombs to visit Franklin&Marshall and had a closer look at Wranglers Spa Jeans and also checked out Urban Outfitters and G-Star (you know G-Star is special for me. The seasonal Bread & Butter fashion show is a must and a fashion week highlight for me!) plus also I got to see the upcoming collection from Aubade Paris up close. Love this brand since Vogue Fashion Night Out 2012. They've got the most amazing underwear. Finally I looked at top brands like Hugo Boss and Michael Kors, amazing of course!

IN HAMBURG WITH ADIDAS

A few weeks ago I traveled to Hamburg for a day to visited the Adidas Style show room. I looked at the upcoming collections like Adidas Neo - this time designed by Selena Gomez, Adidas Originals and the Jeremy Scott x Adidas Collection that's totally crazy as usual. (Still in love with those Jeremy Scott x Adidas wings sneakers and the leopard shoes. Not kidding I'd totally wear them out.) I really liked what I got to see especially the Mc Nasty T-Shirt that's from the men's section I guess and the Adidas Neo sneakers with the removable bands adding little twist as detail. But there were many more pieces to look out for in autumn, when the collections hit the stores.
But other than looking and rating and discussing the new collection or eating as much mini burgers and dessert (they were so good!) as we want, we got to get a bit creative and pimp our very own T-shirts. I might show you mine in an outfit post.
A enjoyed a lovely day in Hamburg and the weather for once was at its best. The sun kissed my face as I sat next the harbour sipping Moscow Mules and Hugos while chatting to the other bloggers and the Adidas Team watching the ships passing by...

ZANOX EXPERT DAY 2013

The Zanox Expert Day was a great opportunity to communicate and get know some experts in the field of advertising and monetarizing all the great work one puts in a blog, as well as talk to representatives of brands like Otto and Douglas. While being spoiled with delicious food at the afterwork party I enjoyed a nice day getting to know new faces.
Again this time the atmosphere was great and I felt free to talk to the experts and learn new things about blogging and widening my horizon. Of course it would be a dream to live from blogging, but there is so much work that needs to be done and a lot of effort and dedication and know-how involved. The Zanox Expert Day served as a plattform for us, the bloggers - the creative end of it all - to win a bit more know-how.

RED STRIPES GLITTER SKIRT

Hey Guys,

It's been a while since I posted an outfit post. Winter here in Berlin seems never ending atm and so I'm still walking around in my winter coat. I'm wearing my oversize coat that I bought at Pimkie maybe two years ago for 12€. It's actually not meant to be oversize, but I deliberately chose the coat in size 42 to give it the oversize look. Size 40/42 is my perfect oversize. Any tee/top/T-shirt transforms into a wearable dress for me in size 40. That's how tiny I am haha!
Anyway I wanted to thank all of you who participated in my Ostercountdown giveaway. It was quite a success and the winners have been chosen. I'm sorry if you weren't among the lucky ones, but I'm sure there'll be another great chance here on my blog soon!
Thanks for being part of my blog everytime.

YOUGHURT DATE WITH JASMIN AND ESRA

Yesterday Jasmin, Esra and me went to check out and treat our taste buds to some froyo at the new Frozen Yoghurt shop called Youghurt, after I was kindly invited by the owner of the place. It's the first self service Frozen Yoghurt place in Berlin.

PRE FASHION WEEK SHOW: KAUFFELD & JAHN COUTURE

Fashion Week for me started with a usual pre-fashion week event: this time I received an invitation to the Kauffeld & Jahn Couture show that took place at the nHow Hotel Berlin.

THEOPHILUS LONDON IN CONCERT FOR FASHIONATION BY PEEK & CLOPPENBURG

Okay so ever since I started my blog I've been luckily enough to attend so many amazing events, but some of them feel special and one of those kind of nights was last Tuesday. Theophilus London was in town for a privat concert held in honour of the Fashion Department by P&C sponsored by Disaronno.
The night was simply amazing. I had the best time of my life with my bestie Louisa and I was so happy to be joined by Lisa, Defne, Dogi and Luca. The music was beyoooond and we were dancing like there's no (school) tomorrow. So when Theophilus London played Louisa's and my favourite song, Big Spender, we naturally went off.

WINDOWS PHONE 8 PARTY AND PORSCHE DESIGNS LAUNCH

Thursday night Lisa and I headed to the Windows Phone 8 Party which took place at the Lux 11. We played with the new phones from HTC and Nokia and there was even an X-Box to play with and Beats by Dre headphones (seriously want some!).
After that we stopped by the Porsche Design Party which was just around the corner with Ferdinand. Was a really fun night!
I was wearing a total rosé look. The glitter skirt is a present my really good friend Louisa (you've seen her a couple of times on my blog) gave to me for my birthday.

FASHION SHOW ON THE RADIO

The title sounds a bit strange doesn't it? A fashion show? On the radio?
Not too long ago I traveled to Potsdam with Anh and Yuliya, because we had been invited by Media on Work. Marcel Ostertag (his shows always wow me at fashion week!) was going to present four looks of his latest collection on the Touching People's Hearts radio show as well as give an interview. And we had the chance to listen and see.

PRESS DAYS

During the press days I had the chance to go visit the different agencies spread across Berlin and have a look at upcoming designs and pieces. From Pop phones (give me the gold one!!) to futuristic heels and bags at Hugo Boss, from cake pops in shape of shoes and clothes to amazing bags at MCM (new found love!), from falling deeper in love with Nikes and discovering the sneaker story to funky shoes at Jeremy Scott x Adidas, from Drykorn to We are Knitters DIY knits, from lovely necklaces at Anthropology to yummy cupcakes at Desigual and putting on a beard for a good cause called Movember, from amazing clothes at practically everywhere and falling in love with Karlotta Wilde.

VOGUE FASHION NIGHT OUT '12

PATRIZIA PEPE OPENING

Patrizia Pepe (she was present herself!) opened a beautiful new boutique on the Kudamm perfectly timed for the Vogue Fashion Night Out. I enjoyed music by a live DJ, the company of Susa, Carina and my friend Louisa, delicious chocolate coated strawberries and met Yvan aka Facehunter again, (he was in town especially for the event) whom I'd met before at Bonnie Strange's Shit Shop Party (still have to tell you about it!). It was a lovely evening, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves..

STELLA AND DOT

Wednesday night I visited the Stella and Dot event held at the Ellington Hotel. It felt a lot like an art exhibition. Not only because of the paintings on the white walls, the walking waiter serving champagne on a tray or the fine dressed ladies, but also because of Stella&dot's jewelry and the way it was exhibited, which indeed looked like a piece of art. I'm head over heels with the jewelry, especially those statement necklaces.
I'm a sucker for statement necklaces..

PRIMARK A/W 2012

First thing about Primark's autumn/winter collection: it's great!
I was surprised how fashionable Primark has gotten and how it's keeping up to trend.
Primark is launching 5 collection coming up this autumn/winter with inspiration taken from street style but also bigger designers such as Chloé or Alexander McQueen.

GLITTER DRESS

Currently my favourite dress is this sheer blouse glitter skirt combination I received from Sheinside. It's the perfect going out dress, but looks perfectly fine during the day, when combined with my favorite oversize blazer and a day bag.
What do you think of my look? I say glitter can work during the day! ;)

MANGO CRAZY SHOPPING MINUTE

I finally have the pictures from the Mango crazy shopping minute event held at the big Kudamm store with drinks and music. Two lucky winners had the chance to keep everything they wanted that they picked from Mango within one minute. That's the Crazy Shopping Minute.
