L IS FOR LOIS x GUESS: SEXY WITHOUT QUESTION

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

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.

A LITTLE PARTY NEVER KILLED NOBODY

MERRY X-MAS AND MY GIFTS TO YOU (GIVEAWAY)

Hi Guys!

ALMOST CHRISTMAS

TWO WONDERFUL DAYS WITH ADIDAS NEO

Last week I spent two wonderful days in Nürnberg for the Adidas NEO Best Friends Days which meant we all got to bring our best friend along. Unfortunately Louisa had to drop out very last minute, but Adidas was so kind to let me bring another really really great friend of mine, Ayse, along and we spent the two days with a lot of laughter, bonding, roomservice, one night at the Holiday Inn Nürnberg City, really really good dinner and breakfast, a cup of Glühwein at the Christlmarkt, late night sport session at the Hotel gym with Whoopie and my beloved Serah, a quick invasion of us girls of the Hotel Sauna, hours of girly talk and just way too much fun to fit into two days.
With my usual Adidas NEO companions in crime Desi&Nisi and their best friends we boarded the plane to Nürnberg, an hour later united with the other invited bloggers (It's no NEO trip without Desi, Nisi and Annie! Adidas NEO events are becoming something like our traditional quicky reunion spots :D ), two new faces and my much loved Adidas NEO Team.

Black J.LO (yes that's me in my P.I.M.P coat and shades for no apparent reason - it certainly wasn't sunny outside!) and WasLosAyseeee?! (Ayse) were ready to take over Nürnberg City.

K1X x PATRICK MOHR MK4 DCAC SNEAKER LAUNCH PARTY

Last Friday. K1X x Patrick Mohr MK4 DCAC. K1X released one of the hottest sneakers in collaboration with designer Patrick Mohr bringing the 4th installment of their ongoing partnership to the market. The MK4 sneakers are made of premium suede and come in super vibrant red, orange or yellow all covered with Patrick Mohr's signature triangle look as detail. I'm dying for those all red kicks. Believe me when I say they're fly as fuck. Need them. Haven't been so head over heels for a pair of sneaker for a while. Those all white Air Max I recently posted on Instagram are amazing and all but these red kicks are a keeper and they got me trippin'.

MEANWHILE IN BERLIN..

Hey guys,

I'm back from my two day trip with Adidas NEO (which was super awesome!!!!). Although I'm a mastress of attending multiple events in one night (somebody give me a medal!) I haven't quite conquered the skill of attending multiple events in two cities in one night nor the art of telepathy or Hermoine Style time travelling.
So what was going on in big B Town while I was away? What did I miss? A really awesome event I had the honour of being one of the very few lucky bloggers to be invited to that I have been looking forward to for a week until I realized the day of my departure to Nürnberg with Adidas NEO that it was that very day. I'm talking about the Forever 21's very special Christmas Shopping Night hosted by Bonnie Strange.

G-SHOCK G-SESSIONS FINALS

Last Thursday I attended one of the coolest parties! Now, I've told you before how much I like G-Shock G-Sessions events as they always happen to take place at the right place at the right time with the right people. Well last Thursday was the final party with all G-Sessions across Europe coming to an end here in Berlin. With music by Kid Simius, DJ Stylewarz, ESKEI83 and a performance by Genetikk, who apparently happen to be the hottest rap duo in the German music scene, lots of drinks and an international crowd, the night was bound to be amazing. In celebration also of G-Shocks 30th anniversary the Kraftwerk Berlin (perfect location btw!) turned into part exhibition/ huge dance floor.
The finalist of the G-Session Design Contest London, Milan, Barcelona, Paris, New York, St.Petersburg, Amsterdam and Berlin presented their designs as well. Winner of the contest was St.Petersburg's Nikita Vilkin Yarutskiy. Their design was awarded with 5000€.
I personally loved Berlin's watch which was designed by Thomas Harnisch and Patrick Mohr so I also voted for them. But they world crowned St.Petersburg's watch to be the best. It will be available exclusively at Colette Paris from 12.12.2013 and in all G-Shock Stores in January. The other finalist watches will be available as limited edition.
As for the night itself believe me when I say it was amazeballs!!

THE VALMANO EXPERIENCE

Thursday night Valmano opened their doors to their Loft (in which btw I would most definitely not mind living in) and gave us a warm heartily welcome by the entire team. As the evening passed by I got to do my nails by Fingerbang Berlin and fell in love with all the jewelry displayed around the loft. Valmano is an online shop that sells supergorgeous jewelry and watches from Sabrina Dehoff to Festina UK Watches and Kenneth Jay Lane. My favourite big ass watch is from Valmano.
In a small group of bloggers we enjoyed our time sipping Punsch (Christmas festive season has definitely begun!!) whilst playing Valmano Bingo and Stadt, Land, Fluß with the funniest categories.
Guess who always won? Me.
Guess who won my heart? Valmano and all the beautiful jewelry they have. Definitely every woman's dream...

THROWBACK: G-SESSIONS BACKYARD BARBEQUE PARTY AT VOO STORE

I'm going to final G-Sessions Party tonight held by G-Sessions. Searching my computer for the invite my search also gave me these pictures. Don't know why I never published these. Especially because it was a really great evening in the backyard of Voo Store. I even bumped into some long lost friends that made that night super fun. Voo Store was packed and the XXL burgers and sweet potato fries (best thing I tasted this summer) along with the soft ice were beyond. It was one of the warm summer nights with the right crowd of people at the right place at the right time. And inside the G-Shock watches were ticking away counting every second we enjoyed.

IN HAMBURG WITH GOOGLE: GOOGLEHAUS

Last Wednesday Google invited me to Hamburg into the Googlehaus. Google gave a tour around the house, showing their latest products. The tour was arranged according to rooms you find in a normal household, kitchen, masterbedroom, teens room etc., directly showing how the products can be used in all the different aspects of life.

BIG WATCHES, KITTY FLATS AND THE MAGIC OF ST. OBERHOLZ

St. Oberholz is a great place to get some work done. It's a small cafe in Berlin Mitte and the dress code is: Bring your Laptop (Macbook to be precise..).  I've had a few business meetings here. And I always left the place enriched, inspired and ready to conquer the world with new ideas.

Last time I was at St. Oberholz with a group of friends we were working on #THESECRETPROJECT (News will follow. Details as well... Time will tell) which has kind of been put on hold for now. Oh well... How awesome is my XXL sized watch please? It's by Festina UK and was a gift from Valmano I got to keep after my shooting for Powerkeks PR. It's one hell of a watch, but I've just discovered that I'm really into huge watches on my wrist. Yeah I'm that girl. Kinda like Go Big or Go Home! My kitty flats that I got from Mirapodo have been safely tucked away until next Spring. How I will miss those! I was practically living in them 24/7..

NEW CASES BY CASEABLE

Been a crappy day for me today but whatever. I finally wanted to show you my new iPhone case and laptop sleeve. I designed my own with Caseable for my iPhone and Mac Book Pro. I loved creating my own cases. Once I got started I couldn't stop until I was done. I actually made the pattern myself out of a picture of Matthew Williamson's 35th Look from the Spring 2012 RTW Show which I then uploaded unto the Caseable case designer. I'm super happy with the outcome. The result was a little scaled for my laptop sleeve but the iPhone case turned out 1to1 with my design. I'm also happy that the colors turned out exactly as I planned. That was my biggest fear; that during actual printing colors might change. The cases themselves are of good quality.
Hands down, this service is great!
I've already decided that I will use my laptop sleeve as a clutch as well as it has a perfect size for that. See, multipurpose!

I think this a perfect idea with Christmas coming up and all. You can get all artsy and create your own designs or choose from pre made ones, but I think thats the beauty of Caseable, the freedom to create your own. And I'm thinking about giving my brother a voucher for christmas or so..

I got a little for something for those who want to get started right away!
Use the code lisforlois15 at check out to get a discount. It's valid until 06.12.13.

Good night people, gotta hit the pillows. Who am I kidding? Haven't left bed all day as I'm not feeling so good...

Have a good night.

Love Lois xxx

FOR THE NEXT SEASON...

DIAMOND TEARS

One of the coolest presents I've ever gotten are the Monster Headphones Diamond Tears in crystal that Monster sent to me for my birthday with a sweet birthday note. Louisa and I had been admiring them nonstop in "girls room"(a section dedicated only to women's headphones) back at the IFA in September, so you can imagine how super happy I was when I unpacked those. Believe me, they are a dream. Sound quality is beyond and I don't leave the house without them anymore.

Everywhere I go people stare at my headphones. No wonder, it's not everyday a girl walks around with  huge ass diamonds on her ears.

The jumper I've been wearing almost daily now was a birthday present by my super duper friend Mallyn. It's been a while since I've seen her. Miss her! It's becoming colder and colder day by day and I'm starting to get into a chunky knits mood and overknee boots. I love my overknee boots and it's always a challenge to dress them up without looking like a slut but channeling the classy/effortlessly/chic vibe.

PATRIZIA PEPE "GOLDENIZED" CAPSULE COLLECTION LAUNCH IN BERLIN

Last week Thursday I was invited to the launch event of Patrizia Pepe's Goldenized capsule collection.

The campagne that features fashion bloggers Sylvia Haghjoo, Patricia Manfield and one of my very favourite, Gala Gonzalez was shot by Berlin based street style photographer Sandra Semburg and Nima Benati just two days prior to the launch right here in Berlin at one of my secret hotspots I've recently taken lots of outfit pictures at. Have you guessed? Yes, it's the Museumsinsel. The campagne looks amazing and it's great to see the fusion between a designer label, fashion bloggers and a street style photographer. This campagne is the perfect example of the rising influence of fashion bloggers. Bloggers are the new models, new It girls, new faces and as the latter the new ambassadors.

Our passion for fashion and our following allows us to be taken serious in the fashion industry and end up on posters and displays in stores. No wonder Patricia Manfield, Sylvia Haghoo and Gala Gonzalez were asked to bring a little girl power to the campagne. Besides the street style flair shots there are also classic fashion posters for the campagne that also features the three lovely bloggers.

GEOX ON TOUR STOPS IN BERLIN WITH FACEHUNTER

Last week the #GEOXONTOUR made a stop in Berlin and the store at Friedrichstraße momentarily turned into a shoe heaven for all invited bloggers as we were allowed to choose from any pair in the entire store to take home with. Shoe boxes everywhere and girls trying on a million pairs while Dandy Diary handled the DJ Set - pretty much last weeks scenario. Meanwhile Yvan Rodic aka Facehunter, possibly one of the most famous streetstyle photographers was there to present his streetstyle book and snap some of the guests for GEOX. On the side note: I have been facehuntered before. Very funny picture actually...

Anyway I was kinda going back and forth between choosing the love of my life (the most perfect shoe - it was love at first sight) and being reasonable (boots for winter. kinda in desperate need of those.). I spent probably an hour doing what I do best: being indecisive, when deep down I know damn well what I want and how the story's gonna unfold.

MTV EMA ROAD TO AMSTERDAM WITH MONSTER DNA HEADPHONES

So my weekend ended with a great night with the Monster team. Monster invited me to come celebrate the beginning of the Road to Amsterdam Music Week series leading up to the final event: the MTV EMAs with them and DNA headphones (pure Monster sound! ;) ) in their VIP lounge at the PURO Sky Lounge, Berlin's MTV Hauptstadt Club. And let me tell you I had a blast!
Monsieur Komplex (you may remember him from my IFA with Monster post) played some sick tunes and I enjoyed getting to know Julia and Polga better and hanging with the Monster crew and also the guys from VIVA and MTV and Monsieur Komplex himself, who all happen to know how to enjoy a good party. I think the pictures tell ;)
Such a shame I wont be in Amsterdam for the actual EMAs, but judging from Saturday's party which was only the start, it's going to be good - real good!

THE SPIRIT OF ISTANBUL FESTIVAL BERLIN 2013 WITH YENI RAKI

My weekend started with a little journey into a different culture - the orient to be exact. Yeni Raki brought a bit of Istanbul's flair, its magic and culture to Berlin. Turkish delight, culinary specialities, belly dancers, performances, dances and music.. all of it! The Arena Berlin turned into an oriental bazaar for one night. The Spirit of Istanbul Festival by Yeni Raki, raki is a Turkish alcoholic bevarage, open its doors to the world of the Turkish raki culture and left room for us to stroll around and discover more than 20 designers and dealers showcasing their designs and products, try some raki and take our tastebuds on an oriental ride.
I got lost for a bit into this world with my friends, shaking my hips with the colorful and beaded clothes. How I love belly dancing costumes, made me reminiscent of my days as a kid when I used to belly dance...

#TGIF! TIME FOR FASHIONABLY CLICQUOT

WATCH HUNGER STOP WITH MICHEAL KORS

In the month of October Michael Kors dedicated its energy to helping the poor, depraved and hungry in partnership with the United Nations WFP (World Food Programme) by not only designing a watch specially dedicated to this purpose whose entire profit was donated to the WFP (one watch = one hundred meals) but also by raising awareness through the power of social media. October 16th marked the World Food Day and Michael Kors called upon fashion lovers and shoppers to stop by their Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong and their two New York boutiques SoHo and Rockerfeller Center to slip into a T-Shirt and get their pictures snapped, displaying the images hashtagged #watchHungerStop on their billboards in NY Times Square.

Together with some friends I stopped by the Berlin Michael Kors Boutique at Rosenthaler Straße to get our pictures snapped, help create a buzz in our own social media channels and even ended up on NY's billboard trice.

As of today 2 140 300 meals have been delivered so far. You can read more about the campaign here and learn how to donate here.

GRAZIA LOVES LEVI'S: THE NEW LEVI'S REVEL JEANS

Last Thursday Ina and I headed to the Grazia x Levi's Shopping Night, which was a ladies-only event organised by Grazia as sort of an Meet&Greet between Grazia and readers, but the actual highlight of the night was the presentation of the new Levi's Revel Jeans, which I have to admit fit quite amazingly and make a really good ass. With drinks by Ciroc (SO GOOD!!) and finger food, we had the chance to shop all night with a 15% discount all accompanied by a DJ set. But what was more exciting was the fact that we had the chance to get styled by Grazia and complete the look with Make Up by Rituals and get snapped infront of the Levi's photo wall.

Ina and I took the opportunity for a styling session with the Grazia Team and with Mirjana we searched the store for nice outfits. After waiting for what seemed like forever (the store was packed!) but with drinks to get by, Ina and I made our way into the changing room and I finally got to slip the new Revel jeans over my legs. Kinda digging my all jeans look. Check out the pictures below.
Ina went for a festival look.

FOOT LOCKER SNEAKER MIX 2013

What happens when sneakers meet music and you add Foot Locker into the equation? That's right, you get a late night party with Stripers (=workers at Footlocker) dancing on the superdimensional deck, the world's first ever sneaker mixing deck (!), creating music with some sick beats, light shows and crazy visuals and an exclusive collection of sneakers that launched this spring/summer. Each pair of sneaker from the Foot Locker Sneaker Mix collection 2013, whether Converse Peelback, Nike Free Run +2 or Adidas Honey Hi as seen in the clip; they all come with a different sound, different visual and different beat that allows sneaker fans to create some cool mixes when interacting with the deck.

ADIDAS STYLE ROOM

"Unite all originals" is next year's big over all theme at Adidas and therefore Adidas is reviving some of their old historic classics as for example the ZX850 sneaker.
As for Adidas Originals in particular - next season in honour of the World Cup to be held in Brasil, Brasil itself has become an inspiration which is visible in the Adidas Originals collection in form of footballs printed all over pullovers or simply the color green and jungle prints as a reoccurring theme.
And what's happening at Adidas NEO? Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will be designing another collection for Adidas NEO next season. Already got my eyes set on Selena's bomber jacket with the sheer arms and floral details.

UGG BOOTS ROWLAND: THE MILITARY STYLE

Hey Guys,

I'm back from the Adidas Showroom which pretty much was like a party between clothes coming up for next season. That DJ? Helllo? Awesomest music ever! Plus I picked up your Selena NEO pullover you can win in my Birthday Box giveaway. The Adidas teams are always open and it's always great to chat with them. Such cool people! After that I headed to Micheal Kors to support their #WatchHungerStop initiative in honour of World Food Day.
Anyway I wanted to show you my first look combining my Ugg Boots. It's getting super chilled lately in Berlin and it's time for fall. I picked out my full leather trousers my mom once got me maybe years ago (one of the few things she brought home and I actually loved xD), which I must admit have completely lost their fit and look baggy in some pictures. However I'm kinda digging that and I'm considering getting baggy leather pants that are meant to be baggy ever since I saw a pic of Kim Kardashian sporting some and actually looking quite fit. Anyone else noticed how rad her style has gotten ever since she started dating Kanye??
I think leather goes so well with my new UGGs. You'll probably be seeing more of that combo.
Anyway I'm so ready for bed.. Press Days start tomorrow and I got a few appointments and on top of that I'm looking forward to checking out some PRs here in Berlin.

Nightie Night!
Oh yes and don't forget to join the giveaway!

HÖR AUF DEIN HERZ CAMPUS WITH COKE LIGHT

Heart disease is the number one killer amongst women living in Germany, not cancer as most people would presume. This is what I learned at the Coke Light Hör auf dein Herz Campus an initiative supported by Coke Light.
With the right diet and a good amount of sports each week you all can contribute to the health of your own heart. I enjoyed the day at the campus since it was a good mix of information and learning by doing. The interactive cooking lessons with those cute guys (who actually have their own restaurant here in Berlin) and a bit of sports with a personal trainer, the medical check up (can't wait to receive my results and find out what my heart is like) and talks with Palina Rojinski, Nadja Uhl and experts all contributed to a good day where I did learn a lot.
Coke Light is having a donation campaign. You can help by using the hashtag #zeigeHerz on pictures with heart motives on instagram. For every picture submitted Coke Light donates 1€. I've already submitted 2 pics. You can check them out on Instagram if you like and find out more here.
Although heart failure and diseases are something that affect old age, it's now that we're still young we can make a difference for later.
As my mom always says "Prevention is better than cure." And I'm starting to get the gist of it.

It's been a while since I've done a wishlist post on my blog and since it's my birthday tomorrow I thought this is the perfect occasion to do one again. To be honest all of the above are things I wouldn't mind owning but it's nothing I'm really dying for. I can't remember the last time I seriously wanted something - oh yes I do, the purple Longchamp Shopper I got for my 17th birthday. Since then all my materialistic wishes have been temporary wishes that come and go and I can surely live without. I'm quite content with what I have at the moment and there's nothing I seriously want or need. (Except well maybe the white Air Force 1 to take me one stop closer to a timeless wardrobe).
Anyway I just wanted to give you the opportunity to shop my wishlist, things I'm currently into and let us dive together into the world of materialistic fulfillment. At the end of the day true wishes are things money can't buy, those things that truly make you happy in the long run as opposed to just a momentarily satisfaction.
I'm really looking forward to a chilled night with my friends tomorrow evening.

Shit am I getting old and wise and poetic already? Relax, I'm turning 20..

NEW IN: UGG BOOTS

Meet my new UGG Boots, a present from UGG Australia. My model is called Rowland and they're from their new fall/winter collection. I must admit when I first saw them on a picture I wasn't so sure about them, but in reality they look so much better. The military look has something edgy to it.
It's definitely something different from the classic UGG Boot. I'm already thinking about all the ways to combine them and make the military look work on me.
And I most likely do not need to tell you that the comfort and warmth of these shoes is beyyooonndd.. ugh!

Thanks so much for the boots UGG Australia!

IFA WITH BABYLISS: MY FIRST TIME AT IFA

My BabyLiss Bürste zu kaufen

What does a fashion blogger do at a electronic trade show? It's not that farfetched. After all I am a consumer and I consume goods. So I was here to check out the latest consumer goods that are of interest to me.
The reason I visited IFA in the first place was because BabyLiss invited me to come check out their newest products and for some hair styling. Since I'm having extension (however I still use the BabyLiss curling iron that I got at the Berlin Blogger Meet Up to curl my extensions every now and then. And it has worked well til now without burning my face of xD ) I asked Louisa my best friend to test the products for you.
