FASHION WEEK IS NOT ALL ABOUT RUNWAY SHOWS AND SITTING FRONTROW

The first thing that probably comes to your mind when hearing the word Fashion Week is a.) Models strutting the catwalk in the latest collection of huge designers with socialites and stars sitting front row dying for the first look to come out and saddened when the lights go off as the last look descends the runway b.) Streetstyle photogs hoarding infront of the tent waiting for Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss to pose for their cameras c.) Anna Wintour. Oh and let's not forget d) Parties, goodie bags and more parties.

Note: This however does not apply to Berlin Fashion Week. We got ex Dschungel Camp contestants and DSDS stars sitting Frontrow. And our biggest designers are bailing on Berlin Fashion Week. (Where is Hugo Boss? Where is Michalsky?) Oh well..

NO G-STAR THIS SEASON...

At first I thought I wasn't cool enough anymore and G-Star was trying to channel their inner most "You can't sit with us (anymore)"-attitude. But I never really believed this was the case because G-Star and me we go waaay back. Hello?! Rollin' togethaaa like since July 2011 yabish! See how I say G-Star instead of G-Star Raw? It's like you saying Kanye West but I can say Kanye. Or like you say Mrs. Jackson but I say Shaniqua. We're so cool we use first names.
Plus the G-Star shows + event and party have been my personal highlight since loosing my V-Card to Fashion Week and it's my seasonal meeting spot with my dutch babe Chloe Sterk.

ALMOST FASHION WEEK...

I really thought this season was going to be very relaxed. Maybe a hand full of shows and an event here or there. I received some big invites very early and then it was all very dragging until the last couple of days. Drafting my plan today made me release my schedule is pretty full. And I have to rely on on-point-on-time shuttle service between a few of them. Ugh..
Of course I'm confronted with the usual "no clothes to wear" fiasco so I'm starting to go through my closet tonight and arrange my room. Luckily I still have the Forever21 gift I card I got for X-Mas. So I'll check if I can find some pieces there..

Hopefully I'll be grabbing some lunch or dinner with Anna and Valerie, finally meeting Larissa, a reunion with Fiorella who I met at the Stylight Shooting, have my seasonal reunion with my babe Chloe who is from Amsterdam and of course finally meeting Chiara, Kenza and some of my favourite Bloggers in person. I'm really looking forward to getting to know new faces.

What I'm looking forward to the most is the Bread&Butter. Get a real bite of it all and more than just the taste I get when running through the entire compound just to make it to G-Star Shows on time.

Gotta admit, I'm not exactly feeling Fashion Week right now. There's little excitement, but I know for sure this will all change as Monday breaks dawn. Probably because I'm a little stressed and my safeguard mechanism is to chill like nothing is happening and become completely unfazed.
I'm waiting for Monday. Let the fashion week magic, the frenzy, the madness sweep me of my feet..

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?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Finally some words from me in the new year: Happy new years guys!!

Hope you all had a great night and celebrated the arrival of 2013 with a blast or were in the company of people you love. I went homeparty hopping and let's just say New Years Eve doesn't always turn out as planned ;) Nonetheless I had a fun night...
I'm wearing my new Beyonce x H&M dress that my friend Ina gave to me as a present.
I didn't actually spend New Years Eve in high heels, I had flats on :D

Dress I Kleid: Beyonce x H&M

Shoes I Schuhe: New Look

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.
