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.

L IS FOR LOIS x FOOT LOCKER: HOW TO STYLE A SNEAKER 4 WAYS

Every year the same old story: Foot Locker's Week of Greatness. It's a become a tradition here on the blog and I never get tired of it. Foot Locker releases a crazy bunch of super cool sneakers and I get to highlight my favorite here on the blog. This time I chose the Puma Fierce that I styled up in four completely different ways. Can we just take a minute to acknowledge the fact that Puma has made a major comeback this year? Ever since Rihanna took over it's been going uphill. Well played Puma, well played. Of course Foot Locker released a few new Pumas (like the Puma Fierce I'm wearing) during Week of Greatness, along with some sick Jordans and Adidas NMDs, some in exclusive colour ways to Foot Locker.
In honour of Week of Greatness I decided to show you 4 different ways I'd rock sneakers. Here is my week in sneakers lookbook. Friday's we wear high heels to party :P
If you know me, you know I hardly ever wear heels IRL. Nothing goes over the comfort of a sneaker..
But keep reading to see the looks! :D

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!

SATURDAY ROOFTOPS

Saturday was a lovely day in Berlin. It was sunny and it felt like spring was upon arrival. I spent my first half of the day working from the Aletto Hotel roof top. (So wanna come back up here when it's truly summer!). We were shooting for Face of Africa Germany. Well I was pretty much only observing and assisting, but I had my camera with me so at some point I took it out and it all evolved into little foto session up in the skys of Berlin. Also I couldn't help but snap these beauties in between the breaks and I just had to share these pictures with you.
For the day I choose my I don't know but I was really feeling the mix of glitter, jeans and leather dressed down casually paired with my favorite boho chic bag from Stradivarius and one of my coolest Weekday sneakers. Also I kinda tried the neckparty thing. Gotta find proper necklaces for a decent neck party. Anyway...
Have a lovely week guys!

FUR COATS AND DISCO PANTS

First outfit post of 2013! Sorry for not much happening here in the first week of the new year, but how have you been holding up? Made any new years resolutions? I'm working hard on my new blog, the new L is for Lois and I can't wait for it to go live. I'm just really sick of my ugly ass layout that I pieced together upon opening this blog. I really need some changes. In my life, my blog and the future.

I should really wear my disco pants more often. For me it was more of my going out /going clubbing fancy pants, but I think it works perfectly fine during the day. This winter so far has been all about my Zara pimp coat, even if it makes me look like a little puff ball.
About turtlenecks, I hated those to the moon and back because I always felt like they would strangle me and of course my mom would force me into those every winter during my child hood. This one I'm wearing is actually one of my favorite jumpers this winter. I bought it myself from H&M Trend last year and I kind of think turtlenecks are super chic. Funny how you hate one thing and then a few months later it can become your most favorite thing. What have you hated, then suddenly loved?

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

Hi Guys!

Hope you had great Christmas! I'm still in the middle of celebrations. It's my dad's birthday today as well. Anyway I just wanted to check in with you guys, show you what I was wearing for Christmas and of course give you a little present as well.

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...

NEO PANTS CHALLENGE

Here are the pictures of my latest collaboration with Adidas NEO and it's part of the NEO Pants Challenge. Together with Laura from The Limits of Control I represent Berlin Team Blue. Our task was to style a blue trousers from the A/W collection (yes that's the collection we shot in L.A.) and go out to the streets and shoot our style. We ended up at Warschauer Straße and had a great afternoon and fun shooting these pictures. I hope you can see this in the pictures and video as well. I was really happy to work with Laura because she's a really good friend of mine and I was lucky to be put in a team with her. Also we were really lucky with our team color. Being team blue meant I got to pick my favourite trousers I already adored back in L.A.
Keep your fingers crossed for us, because we want to go to the Adidas HQ!!

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.

STELLA AND DOT

Wednesday night I visited the Stella and Dot event held at the Ellington Hotel. It felt a lot like an art exhibition. Not only because of the paintings on the white walls, the walking waiter serving champagne on a tray or the fine dressed ladies, but also because of Stella&dot's jewelry and the way it was exhibited, which indeed looked like a piece of art. I'm head over heels with the jewelry, especially those statement necklaces.
I'm a sucker for statement necklaces..

A DAY WITH ZANOX

Zanox invited me to one of the best events I've been to so far. And guys, you know I've been luckily enough to have been to many. It all started in the morning at the Zanox Headquarters, where we were invited to a day filled with workshops, lovely people, talks and yummy food.
When I first stepped into the blogging world not thinking much of it, I quickly learned this was a huge world with so much to still learn about it. But I felt I was getting the hang of it.
That day, right there and then, listening the talks about SEO and monetising Blogs in the workshops Zanox offered, I realized I know nothing at all.
Zanox organised workshops for us bloggers, as well as a talk with the emerging Designer Damian Hirschberg, who talked about the importance of bloggers for designers from his perspective and gave us the chance to peek behind a photo shoot.
