#REDFRIDAY WITH A NEW LIPSTICK AND LIPLINER FROM BENI DURER

#redfriday beni durrer Lois Opoku lisforlois
What's the best thing about Fridays? Weekend. That's true. What's the best thing about this Friday for me? Unpacking a package (I LOVE UNPACKING!) with a new lipstick and matching lipliner from Beni Durrer. And since it's #redfriday - just the perfect excuse to wear red lips. I'm so in love with this new lipstick because it's rich in pigmenation which is super important for me because of my dark skin and you know unfortunately drugstore makeup does not do it for me. It's the right shade of red. Ad with the lipliner I've learned to achieve the perfect red lips, which I'm willing to share with you below.

I made an easy 3-step tutorial on how to achieve perfect red kissable lips just like I do it. (To be honest it's the first time I'm actually implementing this 3-step tutorial myself, I usually skip the lipliner part and go straight for the lipstick. But alas! I've conquered the smudgy-lipstick-edges-problem. EUREKA! Lipliner before lipstick FTW!)
So next Friday, when you go out, be sure to wear red lips!

A FITNESS CLASS WITH NTC - NIKE TRAINING CLUB - IN THEIR BERLIN HOUSE STUDIO

Nike NTC Berlin Lois Opoku lisforlois Nike NTC Berlin lisforlois Friday was actually my first time I entered the new Nike store at Berlin Ku'damm. I didn't make it to their opening because I was at lunch with The 7 Virtues and since then I haven't found time to check it out. On Friday I didn't go their to have a look at their new store or gear up on new fitness clothes (nothing keeps you more motivated than a pair of shoes, a new sports bra or the perfect fit fitness leggings right?) or Air Max 1. I was there to attend one of Nike's new fitness classes part of the NTC (Nike Training Club) program. Nike now offers, besides their really cool app with virtual trainers and progress tracking, fitnesses classes like yoga, Pilates, NTC, Core Strength, Dance and much more with real trainers in their own studio.

SEEK NO FUTHER POP UP STORE OPENING

Lois Opoku Seek No Further Berlin Pop Up Store Opening lisforlois Seek No Further Pop Up Store Opening Berlin lisforlois
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..

LEOPARD GOLD AND SABRINA DEHOFF

Winter outfit leopard lisforlois
HM. PILGRIM thanks to VALMANO. SABRINA DEHOFF thanks to VALMANO. 

Some of my favourite winter accesories this season. My leopard hand shoes I got at H&M for I think 2€ years ago have been with me a while now. I recently rediscovered them in wardrobe and couldn't be happier about it because they give every outfit a little something. They're chic and total eye catchers, definitely the fancy kind of hand shoes.
As for the two pieces of jewelry, they were gifts from Valmano during the Valmano Experience night, where they invited us for a round of Bingo and Glühwein. I cannot be more thankful because I've always admired Sabrina Dehoff's jewelry and since its price is out of my league I kinda thought I won't be able to own a piece, at least not for now. So you can imagine how happy I was unboxing this. It's quite amazing what this blog has done for me and how it keeps showing me that nothing is impossible. I truly treasure this piece and try not to wear it everyday so it'll last longer before I wear it out with my love.
As for the Pilgrim necklace? It's a funny thing. If you know me you know I'm all about statement necklaces. Chunky huge ass necklaces that make you wonder how I carry around such a weight around my neck without dropping my head to the floor. The bigger the better, the more the merrier. But this simplest of simple necklace is actually one of my favourites atm and I'm practically wearing it daily. I tend to find much appreciation in the opposite extreme. If I'm wearing a big necklace, I wear this little one under my T-Shirt.

Spring is coming. Bye hand shoes for this season, but the jewelry stays..

A NIGHT WITH BOMBAY SAPPHIRE AND THE WORLD'S MOST IMAGINATIVE BARTENDERS

Follow: @LisforLOIS

Last week I had the honor of being Bombay Sapphire's guest, a premium Gin label with an exotic touch, in their quest to for the World's Most Imaginative Bartenders. Unfortunately I didn't take any outfit pictures - or pictures at all to be honest, but I documented the night between the World Most Imaginative Bartenders and their self-created drinks with my iPhone in a sort of Instadiary. Clearly as the above depicts we were having way too much fun at Bar 1000, a little underground bar right at the water of Friedrichstr. 
I wore a my green silk dress, that . It's definitely too gorgeous to be kept in the back of my wardrobe and I should show you in a better outfit post some time. But it was one of those buys you know you won't be wearing so often but save it for special occasions and moments like this Bombay Sapphire Event. 
I enjoyed my night between music and my usual blogging partners in crime sipping away one Bombay Sapphire mix after the other and smartly dressed bartenders. Speaking of smart, Bombay Sapphire's brandmanager is such a piece of chocolate (pun intended ;) ), I wouldn't say no to a drink with him #fosho! Congrats to all the winners! 
We actually got two bottles of their finest bottles to take home. Those Bombay Sapphire bottles are super gorgeous and I can't wait to use them to decorate my room. I'm actually more excited about them being empty than endeavoring them.
Killed one bottle on the weekend with my friends, one more to go!
Cheers!

Oh and drink responsibly, right? But that goes without saying.. ;)

SELENA GOMEZ X ADIDAS NEO SS14 BLOGGER SHOOTING + GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)

Lois Opoku Adidas NEO Selena Gomez Shooting lisforlois
The photo shoot took place in this amazing location which was empty and almost forsaken, but had pieces of gold all over the place. It was the perfect setting for our shoot. Edgy and with a twist, just like the collection itself. We got to play around and pull our own looks from the newly launched Selena Gomez for Adidas NEO collection which is now in stores. And after Hair & Make Up was done it was time to get started. Huge part of the collection is the flower print that comes in all sorts of pieces in Selena's collection and my favorite piece has to be the bomber jacket. Which is why it was part of my first look. I've kind of fallen in love with the pink sneakers which I weren't so sure about when I first saw them, but after styling them up I think they are perfect. Check out the looks Annie, Chi and me created.
Keep scrolling for a huge Giveaway Surprise!

THE PARFUM MENU - A VALENTINES DAY LUNCH WITH THE 7 VIRTUES


Everything has a story and this in particular comes with a nice one. Unlike charities, The 7 Virtues means business. Barb Stegemann doesn't play the good Samaritan by giving charitable donations at the end of the day to a country like Afghanistan. The 7 Virtues targets the root of such a nations' problem. Barb Stegemann fuels business.
Her honest approach is quite inspirational.
She creates business beneficial for both ends focusing on using ingredients from rebuilding nations like Afghanistan, Haiti, The Middle East and soon Rwanda by forming local jobs as those for Afghan farmers of the orange blossom plantations while keeping them of illegal opium plantations who in return supply her with the afghanistan orange blossom, inevitable and vital for the creation of her parfum. And we as end consumers get high quality parfumes to shop.
This is how a single purchase of a parfum can keep someone of an illegal plantation and change a man's life on the other side of the globe. To be honest this is the first time I truly feel business can happen on an equal win-win basis without exploiting the other party.

SATURDAY ROOFTOPS

Aletto rooftop outfit lisforlois
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!

BACKSTAGE AT ALENA AKHMADULLINA PRESENTED BY MERCEDES-BENZ ELLE AND THE RUNWAY SHOW

Backstage Alena Akhmadullina presented by ELLE Berlin Fashion Week Janaur 2014 lisforlois Backstage Alena Akhmadullina presented by ELLE Berlin Fashion Week Janaur 2014 lisforlois
This season was my first time backstage, backstage at a runway show. Backstage frenzy is mad. Mad in a capturing way - somewhat like a New York Minute. So many people in one room, everyone working their best. From photographers, to cameramen and video teams, interviewers and journalists for important magazines getting exclusives and in between the models have to get changed, dressed - but at least everyone has their own personal dresser. It's mad how everyone waits in line to shoot their two questions at Alena Akhmadullina while she takes minutes of her precious time to conversate, while she's still trying to keep a check on everything happening backstage because she's minutes away from her big moment. The moment her models walk the runway in her creative vision for the world to see.

"MODEL" OFF DUTY

adidas zx850 streetstyle berlin lisforlois 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

DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

Monster Products Diamond Tears lisforlois
The Diamond Tears by Monster are easily the most beautiful headphones on planet and I love mine to death which I got for my birthday end of last year. At this point, thank you again Monster! I don't leave the house without them anymore. As I said in my outfit post earlier, every time I'm out with them people keep staring at my ears. They're super fancy and a really really gorgeous set of headphones. I think the crystal colored ones (mine) are perfect for women. They also come in different colors as for example the black ones that will look good on men.
But what's more important is the sound quality that comes with them. Listening to my iPhone music feels like a whole new experience in comparison to my earphones before. Wow Apple earphones suck.. :/ I can easily listen to music on the highest volume without feeling deaf afterwards. What's even cooler is there is another hole where I can plug another set of earphones to mine, so I can listen to music with a friend.
I think the Diamond Tears are the perfect example of a great blend between quality and look; where technology meets design, as Noel Lee was going on about in his Keynote Speech during IFA.

I'M STILL SEXY WITHOUT QUESTION! GUESS JEANS + RED COAT

Guess jeans x lisforlois
If I'm sexy without question lies in the eye of the beholder, but what I mean to say or the word that I'm missing in the title is feel. I still feel sexy without question and I think I won't ever get over how good these pair of jeans make me feel. Being sexy is all about an attitude and a feeling you perceive and the perception you give. It's not really about the clothes you were (or you're not wearing), it's about an inner feeling. And if that is your boyfriend's shirt, the little black dress or your backless top that makes you feel that way, so be it.
For me it's messy hair, red lips or these pair of great fitted jeans.

THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT VIP EXPERIENCE WITH KEDS


Not too long ago I visited the Taylor Swift concert here in Berlin's O2 Arena as Keds' special guest among Anni, VreniMauri, Jan and a few media representatives. Keds invited us to come enjoy ourselves into their exclusive VIP Box (which is like a master suite of a hotel!) from where we had the best seats (they were even cushioned!) and had the entire O2 World in sight with just one glance. We were treated to delicious food and appetizers, great caesars salad and dessert, from which I had at least 10 - not kidding. And the champagne kept flowing as well. And shoes, lots and lots of shoes spread across the VIP Box, all from the upcoming SS2014 collection.

BEAUTY: LOOK - RED LIPS AND GOLD EYES FOR VALENTINE'S DAY


ph.: Nisi

For Valentine's Day Kevin and I created an overall bronzy look and eye catching eyes with what's almost like a Must Do for the day of love: fire red lips. The center of attention of this look or better phrased - what makes this look work so well is highlighting, for which we used a bronze color by YSL and we also added a bit of the Zoeva blush that is rosy to give me that freshness and glow. We used the same bronzer on my eyelids, not only to match colors but also because it just really complements my skin tone. The eyelids were accentuated with a lighter bronze color from Topshop.

ABOUT FEELING STYLISH IN WINTER

Lois Opoku Winter outfit leopard lisforlois
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

Hunkemöller Swimwear Berlin launch Lois Opoku lisforlois

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..

LAST SUNDAY..

Lois Opoku WAG Streetstyle Adidas NEO Selena Gomez jacket lisforlois Munich Adidas FC Bayern München ticket lisforlois
Last Sunday was my first time ever at a stadium. Adidas invited Annie and me to come hang out for a game for the fixture FC Bayern vs Eintracht Frankfurt. We had dinner prior to the game in Adidas' sponsors lounge within the stadium, dessert and more beer in the break and more dinner after the game. Just before the game was about to start we walked down into the arena and took our seats. The minute I laid eyes on that pitch I was blown away, I nearly dropped my beer. It was such a magical sight and I was hit by the atmosphere and spirit in that stadium right away. We had the best seats, we were so close to the pitch but far enough that we could still see the entire pitch in one glance. Well it was very hollywood with the rain and the little mist and slight fog, the cheering fans all in perfect synch, how everything stopped for a second as I took it all in, except that it was real and mother nature does not stage. I couldn't stop smiling and staring. The game was too perfect too, they won 5-0.

Berlin Fashion Week Lois Opoku Bread& Butter January 2014 lisforlois
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.

Berlin Fashion Week Lois Opoku Streetstyle Januar 2014 lisforlois
On the second day I cancelled all my shows in the morning as I had run some very important last-minute errands for university. (Fingers crossed everything turns out well! If everything goes right, I'll be a lot happier in the next few months.) I was running late for my beauty appointments in the VIP Beauty Lounge so I sent my babe Carlinka to go in for me and get herself vamped up. I headed there to check on my beauty and they truly made her more gorgeous than she already is.

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

Berlin Fashion Week Januar 2014 Lois Opoku lisforlois
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.

STYLIGHT FASHION BLOGGER AWARDS & THE AFTER SHOW PARTY

Stylight Fashion Blogger Awards Berlin Fashion Week lisforlois Stylight Fashion Blogger Awards Berlin Fashion Week lisforlois
The international Stylight Fashion Blogger Awards were the perfect way to kick off Fashion Week. With all the talk and hate going on surrounding Fashion Week and whether a blogger's presence is ligimate and all, I really appreciated the blogger power going on on the first night of Fashion Week. Chiara Ferragni hosted the event together with Raul Richter (yes that's the guy from GZSZ) and one by one the winners received their awards but not until Mavi showed their new collection and there was a live performance by Andreas Wijk - blogger turned superstar (he's signed to Red One?! Hello?? That's the guy that made Lady Gaga famous!), who btw has an amazing voice! Still got "Alive aaaaliveeeee, I live for the moment" stuck to my head today which is the chorus to his new song.

IN LOVE WITH...

Been browsing though online shops and kinda got hung up on inlovewithfashion. It's one of the very few online shops I've actually bought something from (Zara and ASOS being the other). I own exactly two pieces, my high low maxi skirt I'll probably wearing a lot more during summer again and this gorgeous maxi cut out dress I wore when I met my future husband Elyas M'Barek to the Musikexpress Style Awards.

THE NOKIA #LUMIA4FASHION WORKSHOP WITH MARCEL OSTERTAG AND JILA & JALE


My first day of this season's Fashion Week started with the ZEITmagazin conference from which I quickly rushed to Nokia's workshop with took place at the Stue Hotel (totally dreamy!). Reason for the workshop was the introduction of the new Nokia Lumia 1020 that has a 41 mega pixel camera and full HD video funktion. With a handful of bloggers all equipped with the Nokia Lumia 1020 we were ready to begin. Finally met Lu from Lu Zieht An (who btw is even more beautiful in reality) and Hai-Yen from Gisela is Back. Yay! The girls are sugar and super fun! The idea of the workshop was pretty cool. Nokia invited fashion designer Marcel Ostertag and Jila&Jale, you may know from Fashion Hero that aired on Pro7 not to long ago, to present some of their upcoming looks and designs. In a sort of private runway we sat there and snapped away, getting to try the camera out right away.

MINI UPDATE: I SURVIVED FASHION WEEK, I'M SICK AND MY BFF LEFT FOR NZ


Hey guys,

I'm back. Almost. Well I'm still pretty sick suffering from the aftermath of Fashion Week in winter. How is it that the Scandinavians manage to maintain perfectly styled look, while being totally effortless I must add, during times where the thermometer drops below the 0°C mark? I was fucking freezing. And every day of last week coming home I was on the verge of going down with a flue. And I kept jeopardizing my successful quick recovering immune system by leaving the house the exact same manner the following day. It was almost like layering plus my double layer of 100den tights (currently 1€ at H&M! Go get some!) didn't matter.
Well my body said bye and I'm still down with an awful cold.

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..

FASHION WEEK IS NOT ALL ABOUT RUNWAY SHOWS AND SITTING FRONTROW

Designer For Tomorrow Award DFT Media Morning Berlin Fashion Week lisforlois
The first thing that probably comes to your mind when hearing the word Fashion Week is a.) Models strutting the catwalk in the latest collection of huge designers with socialites and stars sitting front row dying for the first look to come out and saddened when the lights go off as the last look descends the runway b.) Streetstyle photogs hoarding infront of the tent waiting for Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss to pose for their cameras c.) Anna Wintour. Oh and let's not forget d) Parties, goodie bags and more parties.

Note: This however does not apply to Berlin Fashion Week. We got ex Dschungel Camp contestants and DSDS stars sitting Frontrow. And our biggest designers are bailing on Berlin Fashion Week. (Where is Hugo Boss? Where is Michalsky?) Oh well..

But I never really believed this was the case because G-Star and me we go waaay back. Hello?! Rollin' togethaaa like since July 2011 yabish! See how I say G-Star instead of G-Star Raw? It's like you saying Kanye West but I can say Kanye. Or like you say Mrs. Jackson but I say Shaniqua. We're so cool we use first names.
Plus the G-Star shows + event and party have been my personal highlight since loosing my V-Card to Fashion Week and it's my seasonal meeting spot with my dutch babe Chloe Sterk.

ALMOST FASHION WEEK...

berlin fashion week lary poppins invitation lisforlois berlin fashion week invitation lisforlois berlin fashion week invitation lisforlois
via instagram: @LisforLOIS

I really thought this season was going to be very relaxed. Maybe a hand full of shows and an event here or there. I received some big invites very early and then it was all very dragging until the last couple of days. Drafting my plan today made me release my schedule is pretty full. And I have to rely on on-point-on-time shuttle service between a few of them. Ugh..
Of course I'm confronted with the usual "no clothes to wear" fiasco so I'm starting to go through my closet tonight and arrange my room. Luckily I still have the Forever21 gift I card I got for X-Mas. So I'll check if I can find some pieces there..

Hopefully I'll be grabbing some lunch or dinner with Anna and Valerie, finally meeting Larissa, a reunion with Fiorella who I met at the Stylight Shooting, have my seasonal reunion with my babe Chloe who is from Amsterdam and of course finally meeting Chiara, Kenza and some of my favourite Bloggers in person. I'm really looking forward to getting to know new faces.

What I'm looking forward to the most is the Bread&Butter. Get a real bite of it all and more than just the taste I get when running through the entire compound just to make it to G-Star Shows on time.

Gotta admit, I'm not exactly feeling Fashion Week right now. There's little excitement, but I know for sure this will all change as Monday breaks dawn. Probably because I'm a little stressed and my safeguard mechanism is to chill like nothing is happening and become completely unfazed.
I'm waiting for Monday. Let the fashion week magic, the frenzy, the madness sweep me of my feet..

FUR COATS AND DISCO PANTS

fur coats and disco pants Lois Opoku lisforlois
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

L IS FOR LOIS x GUESS: SEXY WITHOUT QUESTION

Guess Sexy Without Question Lois Opoku lisforlois
A pair of goof fitted jeans combined with a simple white tank top can make a woman look so sexy without question. It's the simplicity of it all and the power of a right fitted jeans. (And maybe a set of perfectly groomed eyebrows and bed head hair. A touch of red lips?)

I've already talked about Guess' latest campaign "Sexy Without Question - The Denim Diaries" and when I was approached to style my own Sexy Without Question Look and got to choose a pair of jeans from Guess I was really excited about how sexy they'd actually make me feel.

YOUGHURT DATE

Youghurt Berlin Lois Opoku lisforlois
Met up with some of my fav blogger babes Ina, Dogi, Lisa and Caro a few weeks back. We'd all been invited to Youghurt to try some of their new dishes they've just updated to their menus and the infamous American Cronuts (Croissant + Donut. Totally forgot to try those! :( Such a shame!) so we figured why not all go together and have our meeting there over brunch. We were planning a project which has been put on hold for now. Oh well.. Let's see what 2014 will bring.
Youghurt sells more than waffles and frozen yoghurt now. They've included savory meals such as soups and salads. I recommend the chicken salad. Comes in a super big bowl and that dressing is beyoooond!
I also had a waffle and couldn't resist that Raffaelo cream sauce topping once again.
