CAROLINE BLOMST x ESPRIT SWIMWEAR COLLECTION LAUNCH

You may have seen on my Instagram (@LisforLois) that I've had my first swim this year! Esprit rented out the Stadtbad Neukölln, which by the way is one of the most beautiful swimming pools I've seen in Berlin. Ancient paintings and frescos, greek architecture.. ah! All to present their latest design collaboration with none other than Stockholm Streetstyle's very own Caroline Blomst. I've always admired her sense of style and her vision to discover great looks on the streets of pretty much anywhere now, not limited to Stockholm as the name of the blog may convey.
I was looking forward to see what she created.
After arriving two hours late - yes, sadly I missed the swim dancers, I had misread my invitation - I still took my time to browse through the new collection while sipping freshly made smoothies and munching on my fruit bowl.
Jasmin, me and Cindy from the Esprit took it upon ourselves to jump into the pool. The water was so inviting! While most girls left, we couldn't complain having the pool all to ourselves. I mean why did Esprit rent the entire place for, right? :)

My favorite piece of the Esprit x Caroline Blomst collection has to be the white bathing suit, that has such a timeless cut. The bikinis are well padded and have very flattering cut for your cleavage. Trust me, even my mini boobs looked nice and plum. The collection mainly plays with different patterns and different kind of mix and match styles to every pattern and cut.
Overall a cute collection Esprit and Caroline Blomst have created together.
I'm summer ready..

NOKIA #LUMIASUMMERGLOW PARTY

About a month ago Nokia invited for a celebration of summer with a pop of color. I first thought about coming in a yellow summer dress to match the new Lumia 930, 630 & 635 with Windows Phone 8.1, which come in bright orange, green, yellow or black or white, and live up to summer brights but then decided for this white hippie touch dress I got from Esprit during their beautiful Mittsommar afternoon. Anyway Nokia chose the roof deck of the Nhow to introduce the new phone. It was a really nice chilled early evening with the lovely Nokia team.
Naturally I got to test the new Lumia 630, Lumia 635 or Lumia 930 and play around with the new functions. I practically took over one of the testphones and infiltrated it with a few too many (*cough* read= a lot!) selfies of myself. Can't waste moments of perfect selfie - sorry I mean lufie - light x finding your right angle for a change, right? RIGHT?! Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Scroll a bit up in your camera roll and I know you got at least one set of a minimum 30 same looking selfies, missy ;)
To be honest I didn't really discover all the functions this new phone brings with its launch. I was #busytakingselfies.. #DontMindMeWhileIgoTakeAnotherSelfie #GoodFaceDay oh and the classic #ShamelessSelfie #obsessedWithMyselfMuch..

MITTSOMMER WITH ESPRIT

Just a few days ago Nisi took me along to as her friend of choice to celebrate mittsommer with Esprit. Together we spent a beautiful afternoon in this really cute dreamy location somewhere in a backyard of Berlin with flower crowns and mittsommer inspired cocktails and a live performance session from beautiful Anna F, whom I've fallen in love with since the Diesel Loverdose launch during Fashion Week last summer. Anna's performance made the afternoon perfect.

Meanwhile, Esprit hung out two racks full of their current summer collection and we got to take home all our favourite pieces. Between elegant black maxi dresses with a leg slit, oversized jackets, maxi jumpsuits in cute floral prints, aztec prints, two-pieces that reminded of the Sahara desert or Moroccan vibe and white hippie like dresses that really evoked the Mittsommer Spirit, almost everything was too big for me, but I managed to snag a really cute effortless chic vibe striped blouse and a simple blue acid wash T-shirt that has the most amazing feel on my skin.

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
