MALONE SOULIERS

I cannot wait to wear these shoes out this summer. On a late summer night out, as I sip some wine and eat olives with bae. I'll remember the music that plaid in the background and the laughs we shared, how cute he looked in his shirt and the dress I wore. We'd go for a walk looking where the night would carry us until my feet cannot carry me no more.
'How silly of me to think I could last all day in these heels', I'd think. Sure the were comfortable, but I wouldn't last all day in heels not even in my comfiest pair. He'd stop for me to take them off, his hand in one and the shoes in my other, as we'd wander off into the night carefree as ever.

RUFFLED BELL SLEEVES

Hey Guys,

It's a wonderful Saturday and initially I wanted to go shoot some more content for the blog today. But let's just I say I had one of the most random Berlin nights last night and I'm still feeling the aftermath of an excessive party night. Haven't had so much fun in a while. Berlin's randomness that can make or break a night is kind part of its magic.
I'm off to the cinema to watch Beauty and the Beast. Can't wait to see Emma Watson bring Belle to live!

Go enjoy the sun, your day and have a wonderful weekend!

BERLIN FASHION WEEK DAY 4 - BLACK ON BLACK ON BLACK

Hey Guys,

I'm back with my final look from Fashion Week. Unfortunately I ended picking up my brother from hospital instead of running around my last 2 shows because he had an accident, so I didn't actually get to wear my last look to Berlin Fashion Week. But since I had been looking forward to this look the entire week and it had been one of my very few planned looks I had to shoot this look anyway afterwards as I was and have been dying to share this one with you. It's super dark for a typical "me" look. I usually go with colorful choices, but sometimes, every now and then I feel like exploring my dark side.

CLASSY IN GUCCI DIONYSUS AND CAMEL

First Look of 2017,

And I finally get to style the iconic Gucci Dionysus and for a minute feel its realm of luxury me on. It's not mine though, I stole it from my friend Janine. Just like Carina (sucks she stopped blogging), Janine is a girl from my childhood that I've found again through blogging. We used to attend the same elementary school. Go check out her blog!
Everywhere you look, every blog you click on, you'll see the It Bag of the season, the Gucci Dionysus, there is no way around it. I too have fallen for the hype around this bag. Gucci has never been so in like right now, and never have fashion lovers been so proud to wear the double G plastered across their clothes and accessories. Admittedly just 12 months ago I associated the vintage double G with "Kanacks" (=fake tan, fake gucci and gelled back hair boys).
But Gucci is on the comeback and it's good.
Better than ever.

NEW LOOK

So I  bought something on New Look last night because I stumbled across the most perfect leather accordion skirt I've been looking for for weeks and I have to admit my shopping wasn't the greatest. It took me forever to check out because one of the items had sold out but the site wouldn't update and let me know which item to remove or remove itself. I finally got through, I just hope they've fixed their technical difficulties probably due to high maintenance during flash sales and sale season. Anyway stumbled upon coats for 50% off.. since winter is upon us, get coated! Ends 31st October.

DER NACHTMAHR PREMIERE AND A RED CARPET EXPERIENCE WITH MY READER

Last week I attended the premiere of Der Nachtmahr and I was able to take one of you guys, my readers along. But I didn't just take her to the premiere - I planned something special. A unique experience and a special day. It was a day full of fittings, hair and appointments and of course the premiere and aftershow party. READ to find out more...

FITTING WITH FRENCH CONNECTION

BLACK AND CAPED

What's good people of the internet?
What's good my readers?
I just wanted to share a look with you before I head back burry my head in books. Study, study, study. One more final exam and then it's back to uni all over again.
What's happening in your lives? Hope you're all good.

Ps.: You might have noticed that I have absolutely no clue what to pen down in this post. So here I am ready to bore you with small talk. Whatever.. go look at my pics.

BERLIN FASHION WEEK - LOOK 4

What's up guys?
Just wanted to show you my final look for Fashion Week. I've got to be honest, I'm feeling completely demotivated penning this post. I do not know what words, what topic, what message, to choose to accompany this post. In fact I should just leave this text field empty. But it would be a mirror of the complete opposite of what's going on in my head.
Unclear. Unfocused. Uncontrolled.
Ironically this post seems unclear, unfocused, uncontrolled..

I think I've never been in such a confused state of mind. Emotionally, mentally.

Mein Leben steht am Rande des Umbruchs, wie der Cursor am Ende einer Zeile.

I'm listening to Xavier Naidoo's greatest hits right now (if you don't speak German - imagine the most sentimental life will go on, you're not alone, I love you more than words can describe - love and motivation songs wrapped in the most eloquent words one can imagine accompanied by the most beautiful harmonies and melodies..) Yeah that's me right now.. I'm also wearing sweatpants. King Karl would infamously say I've lost complete control of my life. I think he is right.

You probably just clicked this post because you're interested in what I'm wearing...

THE HOTTEST MONTH

February marked the Hottest Month in every sneakerhead's calendar. The Hottest Month is a month full of daily releases at Foot Locker. From the hottest Nikes, to the Puma x Fenty release (daaaammmnnnn) to Adidas exclusives to Vans, it's mayhem!
Foot Locker allowed me to choose and style a pair and I went for the Vans metallics that are exclusive to Foot Locker. Now let me be completely honest with you. I chose them because my initial reaction was "ew what are thooose?!", immediately followed by a classic Barney Stinson like urge to make them work in a "Challenge accepted!" fashion.
Here is my result.
What are your thoughts?

BERLIN FASHION WEEK JANUARY 2016 - LOOK 1

Fashion has come and gone in what seemed like a blur! I pretty much did all the shows with my partner in crime Phillip who helped me take all the pictures this season and I was part of the Blogger Apartment project (more on that later!).
Brace yourself for a few fun posts from Fashion Week. This time I hardly attended any events and I pretty much bailed on all parties. Shocker! I know right? But I had a lot of fun peeking behind the scenes and being able to get a lot of backstage access.
I was able to concentrate on the designers and their work rather than all the tata tata and heckmeck and fake glitz and glam around it. I selected a handful of designers I was really interested in seeing and a got a whole new perspective being able to watch from backstage as it all unfolded.
People still belittle Berlin Fashion Week. Yes, it's not Paris, nor London or anything close to New York.
But Berlin is Berlin and it has a few gems to offer.
Here is my first outfit. But brace yourself for more to come..

ONE OF THOSE SUMMER DAYS.. AND MEMORIES

I was going through pictures on my external drive, my laptop and flickr account. I found so many unpublished pictures and stories, so many finished and barely started scraps of what were supposed to be blog posts for you. Stories, reminders, memories for me. A journal and account of my life for us.
So much has gone lost, stuck in internet limbo because I never finished typing my thoughts, or unready to hit the publish button.

Among those I found these pictures. I still remember that day vividly. It was the opening of Umami Berlin, tucked in side street behind SoHo House. (Dikjubi had successfully opened his little restaurant - Umami. It's really good!) The taste of his mini burgers and the conversations we had. How especially pretty I thought Louisa looked, the sound of Lisa's laugh in the middle of a conversation and the exact temperature of that day on my skin.

OLYMPUS PEN GENERATION FASHIONGALLERY OPENING

What used to start out with inofficial parties on Monday's - Monday's have become part of Fashion Week. So my first stop this year was the Opening of the Olympus PEN Generation Fashion Gallery (had to sit out on the European Fashion Award FASH 2015 and Zalando Fashion House. It was just too much to start off fashion week and frankly too little time).
The Gallery featured amazing photography by some of my favourite bloggers, such as Kayla from Not Your Standard or my dear friend Amandine or Chloe, a Fashion Blogger from the Netherlands, who I met 4 years ago during my very first Fashion Week.
The Gallery was good. The photography pretty amazing and it was a great way to start of fashion week, especially because there were so many international bloggers present.
My highlight had to have been when I met Ivana Carpio (goddess of Love Asthetics), who I've been following since day one. I've always looked up to her and I briefly met her about two years ago at Fashion Week. Didn't think she would remember me. But she did and she came up to me. She really is amazing.

A CRAZY NIGHT WITH JOOP!

Okay so a little back I had one the craziest nights ever. And trust when I say EVER.
You can take my word for it.
It was the Joop! Crazy Night and Jasmin being without a date invited me to come along. So I jumped one of my party dresses I got at the ASOS Sample Sale and got ready for a girls night out with my girl Jasmin.
Our night started with an open bar overlooking the dancefloor of the Felix Club before the club even opened. We had strip dancers on the end of each bar and kinky toys and glitter make up to get us into the mood of the crazy night ahead of us.
Joop! invited a few selected guests (Jimi Blue &Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht and friends) plus a small hand full of bloggers Anne, Amandine, Laura, and the homme to go boys + Josie. That night

L IS FOR LOIS X MEXX

I've teamed up with Mexx to celebrate the opening of their brand new store in the new Mall of Berlin at Leipziger Platz. Having worked the best job evaaa at LP12 last weekend, I am already a huge fan of the new Mall. It's so big, it's easy to get lost in it for some hours of shopping. There is no store you won't find there.
As for Mexx, it's situated not far from the entrance, perfect. I had a look at their latest collection with their lovely team during the opening. I instantly fell in love with this blouse. Classic, white, and a very timeless cut - elegant yet super cute thanks to the dotted holes as the perfect little detail. It's the beginning of fall and fall beginning always makes me feel like bringing out my all leather pants. In a classic black and white look I combined my new Mexx blouse.

GREEN SHAPES AND REFLECTIONS

These shots were taken right after my morning at the Uniqlo store for the Ines de La Fressange collections launch and my awesome afternoon with Levis. I'm totally loving the reflections in the huge windows, perfectly matching to one of my favorite dresses. This dress is a piece from the last ASOS Africa collection. I got it at the ASOS sample sale where every dress cost 5€! (So lucky I grabbed it before Hadnet Tesfai (truly beautiful German TV personality), because she was really digging that dress and couldn't stop complementing me on my find.) Btw I never really revealed what I end up buying at that Sample Sale, but this is one of those dresses. Trust me, Sample Sales are THE B.E.S.T.

A SATURDAY ON A ROOFTOP

I spent Saturday with Mali, Tissi and Joeva at the Blogger Bazaar. The entrance fee of 8€ was way too much, but we kinda hung around until 8 downing as many Ciroc drinks and Haägen Dasz Cookies & Cream as we could and chilled out on the roof top until we made amends that there was no way we could get those 8€ back or make it worthwhile. Kudos to the girls from Blogger Bazaar for organizing everything and making it happen, no doubt, but those 8€ were definitely too much for an entrance fee. Especially if you were planning on going to actually shop there you kinda already left a lot just at the entrance. Nonetheless I had fun with my girls and I was really happy we could convince Mali to waste some cash as well and come hang out with us.

PRESS DAYS APRIL 2014

RED DRESS AND LACE BUNNY EARS

Hope you guys are enjoying your easter weekend so far! I wanted to share an easter themed look with you guys and finally put on this amazing red dress. It's one of the dresses I got at the ASOS sample sale, which is a total dream. I love the tulip shape of it. And honestly I wish my hips were always this wide, because I believe the sexiest curve on a woman's body are her hips. The earrings were a gift from Lola & Grace, because I was one of their weekly winners for the Instagram competition (you guys seemed to love that picture as well! Click). They've got Swaroski stones in them and are a super great statement piece. Btw I'm totally into the combination of a vibrant red and rose gold accessories since this look. I don't even mind that I mixed it with a pair of gold heels.
As for my lace bunny ears? I will never get enough of those..
Happy Easter!
