I'M WEARING CROCS.. NO SHIT!

When I came home with a box that read Crocs, my brother looked at me with a face pretty much saying "Oh heeeelll no! Heeeeeellllll naaaaaa! Uh uh. You ain't bringin some motherf*ckin Crocs into the house. Girl you mad??"
I don't blame him.

L IS FOR LOIS FOR MANATTAN - WIN MY ME AND MY MANHATTAN BERLIN FASHION WEEK LOOK (CLOSED)

ME AND MY MANHATTAN

As you may know for Fashion Week Manhattan opened a Pop Up Store in Berlin and for that occasion I collaborated with Manhattan to create my ME AND MANHATTAN: Berlin Fashion Week Look. My fashion week outfits were all very colorful. Inspired by my make up look from Day 2 I decided I wanted a look that kind of summed up my fashion week looks and go for something similar: something colorful with the attention on the eyes matching to my outfit.
It's definitely not an everyday make up look, which makes it so special. And I couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 4

Day 4 - Final Day - in all it's glory!

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 3

My Adventures from Day 3! Here we go...

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.

DIESEL LOVERDOSE TATTOO LAUNCH

ph. Friederike

On the same night of the Starbucks Discoveries Presents: Alice M. Huynh, just a few hours before, Nisi took me along to the Diesel Loverdose Tattoo Perfume release party. Which was a great party! Live performance by Anna F. and face lace.. Nisi and me definitely had a good time until mother nature decided to rain on our parade.. But then again we were already off to the next party/event/show.
The Loverdose Tattoo Launch was one of those parties that were held in a small gathering of invited guests. It took place in a small studio with the party continuing in the cozy backyard.
A small dark lit room held an installation with two longhaired models gracing what must have been like the most gorgeous bathtub I've ever seen (hello?? where can I get that for my future appartement?) and a huge XXL sized king bed amongst black roses. Right above the bed the new advertisement for Loverdose Tattoo was projected onto the wall, showing Anna Brewster's bare back covered in a full body tattoo. Is it just me or are perfume adverts always really gorgeous? That same room held a mini bar with one of the most interesting cocktails I've ever drank (The Calvin Klein Encounter cocktails that were made of the main ingredients of the Encounter perfume was pretty interesting too!), but tasted horrible in my opinion. I'm just not a bitter chocolate kinda girl!
Every corner was decorated with the heart shaped black tinted flacon.
I pretty much loved the launch.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 1

Twice a year there is this week that revolves solely around fashion. And it's called fashion week. 4 wonderful hectic days filled with nothing but shows, presentations, openings, cocktail receptions, launches and parties all in the name of fashion. This season was yet again pretty crazy for me.
Day 1. Here we go!

SELENA NEO LAUNCH - SELENA GOMEZ LAUNCHES HER FIRST COLLECTION FOR ADIDAS NEO

After fighting my way through the crowd of screaming, crying and overexcited Selenators, which by the way felt like Mission Impossible: Selenator Edition at the time, with Nisi and Annie, going through security check and having to hand over my camera, it was #SelenaNEOLaunch time and I was ready for Selena Gomez, her collection and her personal thoughts about the collaboration.
Press was present during the Media Morning such as Teen Vogue and journalists from Latin America and even a few invited bloggers that came all the way from Asia to Berlin just for Selena's Launch. It started with a walk through the collection, before we were joined by lucky fans for the Q&A and Meet&Greet session.

PRE FASHION WEEK: MY LOOK

So how do you dress for a perfume launch, a fashion show and a pool party at once, without bringing along a whole new second outfit to change into? Well this is what I wore to the Diesel Lover Dose Tattoo Launch, the Starbucks Discoveries presents Alice M. Huynh event (read about it here) and the Dandy Diary Fashion Week Pool Party kick off Party.
In the end I didn't go to the Dandy Diary Fashion Week kick off pool party... I could have worn just a normal outfit. Oh well.. At least my bikini top came in handy for mother nature's rain party. I was beaten by the rain and it felt like a taste of Dandy Diary's Pool Party right there in the streets of Berlin.

PRE FASHION WEEK: STARBUCKS DISCOVERIES PRESENTS ALICE M. HUYNH

When I received my invitation for the Starbucks Discoveries Show and saw the nominees I accepted the invite knowing I was going to Alice's Fashion Show.
My confidence did not let me down, Alice did win and received the chance to present her designs, a mini collection, at the new Starbucks at the Sony Center as a Berlin Fashion Week Pre Fashion Week event hosted by Bonnie Strange. I couldn't help but feel over joyous for her and in a way a bit proud that she had made it.
I remember looking up to Alice, reading her blog, too shy to ask her to explain how fashion week works to me. In the end I summed up all my courage and penned down my questions. I was surprised at the immediate response answering all my questions and how kind she was.
And just last week, here she was, having her very own Fashion show.

BALCONY SUMMER

It's Sunday, superwarm outside and I've slept off an entire week of fashion week frenzy. Between shows, openings, parties and amazing BBQs, driving a boat across the Spree, carrying shitload amounts of goodie bags, make up appointments, breakfasts, having enough of fashion and regaining my love for fashion, shootings, getting to meet new bloggers and my readers, seeing boring collections and some that blew me away, I think I can say this Fashion Week was good to me and I'm content with the fact that this crazy week has come to end.

JOIN ME FOR FASHION WEEK

I'm giving two of you lovely readers the chance to join me for fashion week on Tuesday, 2 July for Bonnie Strange's THE SHIT SHOP show. Plus you get to join me for the aftershow party as well. You still have a few hours to join the competition. You just have to leave a comment below this picture on my facebook page.


Today I'll do some last minute shopping before I'll head to the Diesel event tonight and afterwards the Starbucks Discoveries Fashion Show.
I want to stop by Esprit in hope to find the pink bikini that I've shown you on the blog before. It would be so cute to wear to the Dandy Diary Fashion Week opening Pool Party tonight. I've been checking the Esprit Onlineshop but didn't find it there yet, so I guess I have to stop by.

My schedule is packed! But I'm ready for one more week of fashion week frenzy. I'll have so much to see, so many parties, presentations, shows, events and brunches!

What's your day looking like today?

FIRST BEAUTY BLOGGER CAFE

Okay so when I said "This is the last post from my event filled week just before L.A." in my last post, I had clearly forgotten that the very first Beauty Blogger Cafe took place just a day after the Pull&Bear and Forever 21 Openings. With my new found desire to express my love for all things fancy schmancy beauty wise, the Beauty Blogger Cafe couldn't have been timed any better.

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.

FOREVER 21 PREOPENING BERLIN

On the same night as the Pull&Bear pre opening the Forever 21 preopening took place as well. Good thing was that the two stores are located next each other in the same building, so I was able to hop over from store to store. In fact kept coming back for the Mojitos at Pull&Bear and ended the night with a live performance by LARY over at Forever 21 for the aftershow party. She's full of energy! While eating cake pops, popcorn and mini wraps we were able to get our hair done and even some fancy body art. I decided to get a palm tree across my hand.

THEY'RE REAL!

I remember asking my friend Mallyn the other day "Oh are you wearing fake lashes? Looks really nice." To which she replied, "Oh no that's just the mascara that was in our goodie bag from the Lafayette show. Sieht krass aus oder? They're real! I mean 'they're real'-Mascara. But my lashes are real too" grinning.

DENIM ON DENIM

ph. Dogukan Nesanir

It's definitely summer here in Berlin now with temperatures up to 35°C! And I thought L.A. was hot. Wearing my beloved all time favourite sneakers - Nike Air Max 1 Julep Lime. It's Till death do us part with these babies. Kinda funny how these are my favourite shoes and I'm practically living 24/7 in them since I got them, yet you've never seen them on the blog. But they're constantly on my Instagram though!
Have you noticed? This is the first time I'm not grinning like a chesire cat in my blog pictures. Haha! Trying the 'angry face model face' thing.

I look like I'm pissed cause my mom didn't give me chicken.. or something. Oh well..

LLORET SHOPPING

I'm back in Berlin after a very amazing L.A. trip.
My Abifahrt to Lloret was pretty fun, although the weather was a little unpredictable. I uploaded a few pictures from my trip on Instagram.
I actually thought Lloret was useless for shopping. In the end I left 100€ in that city and returned with clothes of that value. My new favourite bag is from a tiny boutique from there. At a cute store called Shana I bought a maxi onepiece, a summer scarf and the cute little mini skirt. The bikinis were each 5€ at a store on the main shopping road. The mirrored sunglasses are from a NoName tourist shop of which they have about hundred on just a single road.
The little duffle bag was picked up at Stradivarius during my Barcelona day trip with a group of my friends. Unfortunately we had two guys among us whose's impatience left us with literally 5 minutes of shopping, so I only stopped by Stradivarius for a very very quick visit.

PULL&BEAR PREOPENING BERLIN

Hey Guys!

I arrived safely in L.A. last night. I'm still tucked in my hotel room bed, it's morning here right now and blogging from what feels like heaven. Anyway last week was a very eventful week in Berlin.
One of the things I did was visit the Pull & Bear pre opening party. Pull&Bear is part of the Intidex group (Zara, Bershka, Massimo Dutti..) and focuses more on a younger target group. The clothes and the entire store have a very beachy summer vibe to it that feel reminiscent of the spanish summer sun. Gorgeous accessoires, shoes and summer dresses as well as breezy blouses and lots of cute basics for girls and boys are offered there.
You should definitely stop by for some cute pieces for this summer, especially for the boho chic maxi dresses. As for the opening itself, it was lots of fun. The DJ played good music and the finger food and mojitos were delicious. I was united with my blogger girls. Plus they even had a instagram polaroid print machine there!
I bought only one piece there: my red L.A. T-shirt from the last post.

OFF TO L.A.

I can't believe this is happening. My suitcase is packed and I'm looking at my flight tickets, ready to leave for the airport. I can't believe I'm about to spend 3 wonderful days with the Adidas Neo team in L.A. all because I won the Adidas Neo Style Challenge.
Somebody pinch me please.

LETS TALK ABOUT BEAUTY...

Okay let's start by saying: truth is I have no idea of make up and beauty. Well obviously I know eyeliner is applied to the eyes and lipstick goes on the lips. duh..?! But if you start with setting spray, highlighter, AHA, primer and such you've lost me.

Press Days, Meek-N-Mild and Teetharejade have all peeked and revived my interest in beauty.
And also I'm constantly being gifted so much make up, it's almost rude to let it get dusty in my make up box. Honestly I don't remember the last time I bought something beauty related. 90% in my make up box is gifted. Such a shame to let it all go to waste. Therefore I want to do more make up. Sounds legit?!

OPENINGS, PARTIES AND WELL HELLO TO YOU TOO! I'M BACK IN BERLIN

Hey Guys!

I'm back from my trip to Lloret and it was pretty fun. I came home to a few new presents (will show you asap!), some really exciting news (more on that later) and a week filled with events. There is so much going on in Berlin end of this week and I can't wait for it all to begin. A quick glance at my timer, here's what's going on this week in B-Town.


Pull&Bear Opening



I've waited for this day, the day I need not browse online but can actually enter the store. I've been anticipating it so much that I did not enter a Pull & Bear store while in Spain last week to save this moment for Berlin. It's finally here this week and there will be a special treat for you guys on the day of the opening. You'll get 20% off all day.
Time & place: 07.06.2013, 10Uhr. Tauentzienstraße 13.


Nelly High Heels Tour

The Nelly High Heels Tour is about to commence, which means nothing else than Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! It's officially girls night at Asphalt.
I missed the tour last time, so I'm all the more excited to go this week. Free pair of shoes for the first 100 girls? Yes please! Location: Asphalt. My favourite club! Meet me there. I'd love to get to know you guys. Oh and there are more prizes and goodies waiting ...

Time & place: 07.06.2013 Berlin, 21Uhr. Asphalt.
It's a date!


Forever 21 Opening



And last but not least, Forever21 is finally opening up its doors and I'm pretty excited about it. The City of Angels is spreading some love to Berlin and on top of that the first 300 visitors will receive a goodie bag and a gift voucher to spend at Forever21!

Time & place: 08.06.2013, 10Uhr. Tauentzienstraße 13.

ADIDAS NEO STYLE CHALLENGE

Hey Guys,

I'm happy to show you the pictures of my collaboration with Adidas Neo: the Adidas Neo Style Challenge. I had the pleasure to participate and my task was to style myself and 3 of my friends for Adidas Neo. For this I was sent 4 pieces. First I was a little unsure of what exactly I wanted to do and what kind of looks to create because there is so much you can come up with. But I wanted to keep the Adidas Neo spirit and my looks and pictures in style of Adidas Neo, fun, quirky, young and in a way also incorporate their personal styles which is why I let them wear pieces from their own closets to finalize their looks.

Yesterday we met up to take the pictures. On top of roof top near Gleisdreieck, while listening to J.Cole and none stop laughing, Charlotte photographed us. It was so much fun! Also I just realized you've never really seen my 'real life' friends (read: none blogging) on my blog. So here they are! Some of them at least.
Hope you like the pictures!

Now I'm off to Lloret de Mar for my Abifahrt. See you in a week!
Sun here I come...

IPHONE DIARY: A DAY AS A MAKE UP MODEL

It's passed 2am but yesterday's not done for me yet. I woke up this morning and arrived at the Make Up School Chico Cihan 9 o'clock sharp. I played model for Verena whose task was to come up with a make up look for black girls. You won't believe how amazing my look turned out. And Verena was really quick as well. I had fun getting my make up done professionally. Honestly it kind of feels like a massage.. in the face. xD
I just came back from MCD Cosmetic's Spring Girls Beauty Night Out. It was my first time entering the store and I quickly fell in love with all the beauty products there. So much high quality products! But I'll talk to you about that later. Anyway I'm so ready to cuddle into cushions and call it a day. Haven't been out so early since my last school day.. Tomorrow is an exciting day! I'm shooting an exciting project you'll get to see very soon and I have a meeting. I'm talking business business!
Anyway speak to you soon..

Btw if you're wondering what I'm wearing: jacket, t-shirt, necklace is H&M, the shorts are from Urban Outfitters and my shoes are Air Max 1 thanks to Nike. Follow me on instagram @LisforLOIS

Good Night! <3

HELLO SUMMER

Hey guys,

I think summer has finally arrived. I'm wearing a maxi skirt I got from In Love with Fashion I never really got around to wear out. Here are the pictures I took with Cevan. I'm looking forward to more sunny days, shorts and skirts...
Oh and some great news: I'm finally done with school!

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...

HAVING FUN IN HAMBURG

In Hamburg with Nisi, Chi and Jasmin. What I exactly was up to in Hamburg you'll see in tomorrow's post.

Have a lovely weekend!

WISHLIST AND A STYLE IDEA / THE MICHAEL KORS HAMILTON BAG

It's been a while since I posted a wishlist and right now I'm really longing for this Hamilton bag from Michael by Michael Kors. Ah wouldn't it be nice to be able to say "I'm packing my Hamilton bag for the holidays.." end of this month? Although I'm not so sure if that's such a good idea. My Hamilton bag in Callela, amongst reckless Abiturienten...?

Maybe just to my next fabulous event. And in style of "What's in my Bag with Luxodo.com" here's what you'll find:

1. A stack of bracelets from Hipanema

2. Nail polish from Face Stockholm. Always got a bottle of polish in my bag. I don't know why, I just do haha.

3. A wallet from Chloé

4. Sunnies from Thierry Lasry

5. A cute key holder by Juicy Couture

6. The Missoni scarf

7. A4 Kiss&Help Lipbalm to keep my lips from drying out leaving them with a kissable look

and finally

8. High heels by Sam Edelmann. YES HIGH HEELS in my bag. I go to events in flats, change into high heels and as soon I leave I'm back in my flats. How else am I supposed to survive hours in heels? I'm such a cheat I know! But pretending I'm opening up my bag to you before the event, you can bet a milli you'll find heels in my bag.

Here's the look I imagined to wear with it. I realize I haven't done a style inspiration in years..

1. Fashion Nerds  2. Balmain  3. Thierry Lasry  4. Micheal Kors  5. Sam Edelmann

Pretty much in love with this simple baby pink Balmain dress and the Sam Edelmann sandals to go with it. The cat eye sunnies from Thierry Lasry are classics. And I stumbled upon this statement necklace from Fashion Nerds which is a total stunner in my eyes!

THE SKYY SWAPPING SEASON PARTY

One of most exciting events of the year for me personally is the anual Skyy Swapping Party hosted by Designer Scouts probably because one of my very first personal invites came from them to their Sky Swapping Party. I felt very special opening that letter two years ago, okay? ^^ And also because the very first party left quite an impression filled with great memories on me. Unfortunately I missed last years party because of my hair !?!?! (#girlproblems..) So I was all the more excited to be there.

BROWSING THROUGH DEFSHOP

Looking to satisfy my snapback and Nike Blazer addiction and the inner hip hop swagger chick hood bitch (not kidding I LOVE snapbacks and sneakers!) within me I turned to my regular sneaker online shops and finally Defshop because they usually offer their stuff at good prices. I have heard of Defshop before and occasionally browse the website when comparing prices for sneakers. But browsing through Defshop thoroughly for once, I realized they have much more to offer than just street wear, sneakers and snapbacks.

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.

7FAM "BLACK&WHITE" LAUNCH EVENT

Visited the 7 for all mankind store to support Amandine at her cocktail reception in celebration of the new 7 for all mankind Black & White collection. Fell in love with the pants. Had fun with Defne, Lisa and Nelly. Met René from Styleranking and I think I bumped into Franzi aka Zukkermädchen. If it's her, she's real zukker in reality.
My favorites from the collection are the white ones with the top to bottom rose gold zipper and the print ones. Seriously loving the mini collection. Such a shame it's limited edition and won't be in stores forever.
