COTTON CANDY



Hey guys!
Here is my latest look :) I've finally worn my mint/pastel shaded jeans out, a pair I bought at H&M while ago. I gotta admit, I was caught by the pastel (jeans) trend and couldn't resist jumping on the trend wagon and purchasing my first pair of jeans as soon as I laid my hands on them. Which is a bit strange because I'm not exactly the person to follow trends. I'm not a "fashion victim" who conforms and follows each and everyone of them. I use them more as a source of inspiration, a certain idea I might give a thought to and try out sometime - when I feel like it.
In fact usually by the time I'm developing a liking for a certain trend and starting my first attempts at my very own interpretation, it's always "so last season".
You can't label me as a person slow on trends because I acknowledge them long before Vogue or Elle declares them so. I'm kidding!
What I'm trying to say is that I do have a feel for whats "in" and "so hot atm". It's just that I'm not exactly bothered or phased, unless it really captivates me..

BARGAIN HUNTING WITH CHEAPERIA


When I heard about Patricia's "Schnäppchen Freitag (=Bargain Friday)" really wanted to participate, especially because you know I'm a Bargain Hunter of the most vicious type. Which reminds me - oh yeah I have a shit load amount of clothes to show you I bought during sale the last few months. But we'll come to that later. Plus Schnäppchen Friday sounded lots of fun. Besides the fact that I got infected and highly tempted to hit all the items and more into my shopping basket, I managed to keep focused and choose the 15 most bargainius pieces for 15€ and under! Go check it out. You might get tempted to shop them all..
Beware. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

PS.: And while you are already at it, check out Patricia's blog! I love it. And she wrote the most touching piece about me. Thanks so much Patricia! *sniff sniff* No, I'm not crying. That's just sweat in my eyes.

SPONSORED VIDEO: TWO FOR FASHION TV MIT PALINA ROJINSKI

Todays post is only gonna be in German, because I'd like to introduce you guys to a WebTV show I just discovered and unfortunately it's completly in German :(( You are definitely missing out on something here :P


Palina, die mir ganz kurz beim Sminorff Event und dann auch wieder bei der H&M The Girl with the Tattoo Dragon Kollektions-Preview begegnete, kam mir sofort sehr sympatisch vor. Aber was mir sofort ins Auge sprang, war ihr witziger Style. Ansonsten kennt man sie aus dem Fernsehen. Ich glaube MTV Home. Diesen Sommer hat sich Palina mit dem Two for Fashion Blog von Otto zusammen getan, um eine eigene Webshow namens Two for Fashion TV zu moderieren. Kann ja nur gut gehen!

Alle zwei Wochen darf man sich auf meine neue Folge mit Interviews mit besonderen Gästen freuen, u.a. Jorge Gonzales (Chica walk baby!!). Jede Folge widmet sich einem neuen Thema, sei es eine bestimmte Mode- oder Stilrichtung, vom perfekten Party-Outfit oder die neuesten Festival Looks dieser Saison. Oder doch lieber Palina beim Samba tanzen.. (Spoiler Alert!)

Thuy vom Two for Fashion Blog ist selbst hin und wieder Gast der Show, während Kathrin aus NY, wie auch schon auf dem Blog, ihre Beiträge zur Show leistet. Mal erzählt sie uns von den hippsten Bars, den angesagtesten Clubs, den besten Rooftop Bars New Yorks - also richtige Hotspots der Szene! - oder fragt direkt Besucher eines Festivals nach ihren Festival Must-haves. In der Show darf man sich nicht nur auf modische und Shopping Tipps freuen, sondern auch auf Hotspots und "places to be"(d.h. besten Festivlas Europas, angesagten Bars oder auch der coolste Club Berlins)
Two for Fashion TV ist also auch sehr vielfältig.
Die erste Staffel hat 12 Folgen, davon sind wir schon bei der 5. angelangt. Und wenn es so weiter geht, wird man sich wahrscheinlich auch auf eine weitere freuen dürfen.
Und zum Schluss wird auch jedes Mal etwas verlost. Diese Woche gibt es eine neue Stereo Anlange von Philips zu gewinnen. (Drückt mir die Daumen, ich will sie haben!) Also man darf gespannt sein.

Ich selber habe mir eine Folge angesehen und fand sie eigentlich ganz toll, sodass ich neugierig war, noch eine mit einem anderem Thema ansehen zu wollen. Die Folge mit zum Thema Festival fand ich besonders gelungen, da es nicht nur Tipps zur Mode gab, aber auch neben dem Melt interessante Festivals in Europa vorgestellt wurden. Bei Two for Fashion TV von Otto kann man auf jeden Fall einmal vorbei geschauen! Ich weiß auch nicht, warum ich bis zur 5. Folge noch nichts von dieser Show wusste...
Jetzt könnt ihr euch noch Folge 5 anschauen und mal in der Show reinschnuppern. Keine Angst, die Folgen hängen nicht von einander ab. Ich hab auch erst bei 5 reingeschaltet und rückwärts geguckt.^^
Wie findet ihr die Show? Ich find Palina irgendwie klasse.

BACK TO SCHOOL


It doesn't really sink in that summer is over until you hear your alarm going off at full blast 6.30 in the morning for the first time - after what? - 6 weeks. Especially when summer hasn't been, like an event or experience you can come to terms with that indeed it's over and leaves you with mere memories - sweet memories, but has been the simple art of faulenzen and chilaxen all day, everyday, waking up when you feel like it or not. This summer has been so different to all. I didn't travel. But I did have some occasional 3 to 4 day trips to random cities in Germany which came and went.
Nonetheless I enjoyed the time, especially the trip with my friends. But what bugs me is this was my last summer as in summer holidays. When I finish school this term, there will be no going back to school and therefore no summer holidays in that sense. I always thought that my last holidays would be something like "an unforgettable summer"; holidays á la "the summer of your lives".
This holidays kind of shattered that illusion for me. I should have seen it coming though, I mean I didn't have anything planed for the hols. But I'm ready for school. Ready to take this hell hole one last term and come out a young woman ready to take the world.
I think...


As of the first day? It was a total waste of time, AS F*CKING USUAL. Yeehaa let's go Schiller. Gosh I really don't like my school. It's such a school-enthusiasm killer.. 
First day of school is only good for seeing all the faces I missed during summer again :)

FURLA FUN



Jasmin sent me these pictures back from the Grazia Style Night. I remember we snuck off to the Furla section and fell in love with the Candy Bags. Of course we had to capture our undying love and affection for these bags right that moment. Hahah!
I really want a Candy bag though..
I mean it looks like it's just my own.
