A DAY AT PEPE JEANS LONDON SHOWROOM BLOGGER EVENT

Pepe Jeans London Blogger event Berlin lisforlois
So after my fitting at LevisJacky and me got into her Smart and drove to our second appointment of the day, the Pepe Jeans event. In a relaxed atmosphere with DominiqueVicky, Jacky, Anjelica, Anne, Marie and Mila from Pepe Jeans, who by the way is such a sweet heart and made us all feel very welcome and comfortable, we browsed through the new collection.

Pepe Jeans for me has been all about denim and they first caught my attention when they put my favorite football player Fernando (hot ass) Torres in a pair of jeans for a campaign back in 2006 or 2007. But they've come a long way since then and as I learned first hand in their showroom last week they're so much more than denim.

JOIN ME FOR THE NIKE FREE LAUNCH EXPERIENCE TONIGHT

ph.: Song of StyletlniqueTumblr

I get a lot of questions from you guys asking me how I always get to attend so many events, but I have good news for you, tonight you are all invited to the Nike Pre Launch Experience of the new Nike Free. I will be there tonight as well and I'd love to meet some of you.
There's only one catch. There's a strict dress code.

Dress code: come in your beloved Nike Frees. No entry without Nike Free.

Time & place: Today, 02. April 2014, 20 – 22 Uhr. Tauentzienstraße 9-12 (am Europa Center)

You'll get to have an exclusive look at the new Nike Free's and even put them to a test during the Nike NTC classes that will be held for you during the event. If already told you about how fun the NITC classes are here, remember?

More details about the entire event here.

I'm coming in my Nike Free 5.0 I actually use strictly for gym. But I got them in an awesome color and I've always toyed with the idea of wearing them outside, so I'm going to pair them with an all black outfit and let the color of my Nike Frees pop.
Excited!

FITTING AT LEVI'S

Levis Revel curve ID Fitting Lois Opoku
Spent the entire Thursday, which was quite busy and super fun, with my girl Jacky and our day started at with a fitting with Levi's. Levi's invited us for brunch to the VEVO Lounge, a townhouse in Berlin, and a personal fitting with the Levi's Team. After the Grazia x Levi's event I've been quite a fan of the Levi's Revel. Tried on the perfect pair, but I never went home with one, sadly.
You know my problem when it comes to jeans that I like to call the African Bootylicious problem - big ass, tiny waist. Never have I felt more addressed than in Big Sean's A$$ "How your waist anorexic but then your ass is colossal? Whaaat?" My waist is nowhere near anorexic. But it's still tiny and the difference between my waist and butt section makes it nearly impossible to find a good fit jeans on the European market, especially when they're not low rise.

THIS IS MY MAGIC HOUR

HUB Footwear x Lois Opoku My Magic Hour by Jules Villbrandt lisforlois
My Magic Hour.. I remember those daybreaks after long party nights with my friends. We're on our way home, as one of points  to the sky "wow look at that sky today!" before my eyes fall shut and I wake up in my bed hours later questioning how I manage to get there safe.
My golden hours as day turns to night are usually spent during summer, somewhere at the Krumme Lanke while laughing with my friends and we forget ourselves, before we notice it has suddenly been dark for more than hour. And we get ready to skinny dip. There's the moment of freedom and carelessness in that magic hour and the sky, God's painting, corresponds.

DARKER SIDE OF ME

Preview of an upcoming project I did for HUB Footwear. My outfit is quite the contrast from my usual colourful "sunshine" looks. But I like the mood and atmosphere in these pictures. So had to share them with you. It's so hard to catch a good sunset or sunrise these days… Quite frustrating if that's exactly what you intend to do.
How have you been so far this week?

#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!
