BROUGHT THE AFRICAN SUN BACK WITH ME

culotte streetstyle lois opoku lisforlois
Hey Guys,

How have you been? I just got from Africa and I have to admit the climate change was brutal. So brutal I got sick the minute I stepped of the plane in Amsterdam. Literally. However I brought the African sun with me in my heart which is why I'm sharing one more summery look with you. Tomorrow I'll share my insta diary from Ghana (you can see a preview of it right now on Instagram @LoisOpoku - check out my hashtag #lisforloisGHANA and then I'll share one more summer look and some more snaps from Ghana. Then I'll finally come to terms with winter and you'll get to see my winter wardrobe this year.
But for now I'll be happy with my summer look. Maybe it puts a smile on your face, maybe it'll make you miss summer as bad as me or maybe you're just wondering why I'm not in sync with the weather in Europe right now.
But somewhere on this globe it's still summer so.. (Ghana *cough*)

ONE OF THOSE SUMMER DAYS.. AND MEMORIES

Umami Berlin Opening Lois Opoku Louisa Rachor lisforlois
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 I found so many unpublished pictures and stories, so many finished and barely started scraps of what were supposed to be blog posts for you.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.

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..

Love Lois xxx

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.
