"MODEL" OFF DUTY

Hahaha well not Model, but I was highly inspired by Stockholm Streetstyle's Model off Duty section for my post title today. Anyway as you know and saw on Instagram I had a shooting for Adidas NEO on yesterday and this is what I wore to it. I was a bit nervous because I'm not a model and although taking pictures of myself almost daily and posting them on my blog/facebook/twitter it is different when you are suddenly posing in a production full of professionals for a label with their team. I'm super lucky to have been in it with NEO because you know how much I really love the Adidas NEO team and how they always make me feel at home around them, plus I already knew the photographer personally and my co-"models" were my friends Annie and Chi. :D

DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

The Diamond Tears by Monster are easily the most beautiful headphones on planet and I love mine to death which I got for my birthday end of last year. At this point, thank you again Monster! I don't leave the house without them anymore. As I said in my outfit post earlier, every time I'm out with them people keep staring at my ears. They're super fancy and a really really gorgeous set of headphones. I think the crystal colored ones (mine) are perfect for women. They also come in different colors as for example the black ones that will look good on men.
But what's more important is the sound quality that comes with them. Listening to my iPhone music feels like a whole new experience in comparison to my earphones before. Wow Apple earphones suck.. :/ I can easily listen to music on the highest volume without feeling deaf afterwards. What's even cooler is there is another hole where I can plug another set of earphones to mine, so I can listen to music with a friend.
I think the Diamond Tears are the perfect example of a great blend between quality and look; where technology meets design, as Noel Lee was going on about in his Keynote Speech during IFA.

I'M STILL SEXY WITHOUT QUESTION! GUESS JEANS + RED COAT

If I'm sexy without question lies in the eye of the beholder, but what I mean to say or the word that I'm missing in the title is feel. I still feel sexy without question and I think I won't ever get over how good these pair of jeans make me feel. Being sexy is all about an attitude and a feeling you perceive and the perception you give. It's not really about the clothes you were (or you're not wearing), it's about an inner feeling. And if that is your boyfriend's shirt, the little black dress or your backless top that makes you feel that way, so be it.
For me it's messy hair, red lips or these pair of great fitted jeans.

THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT VIP EXPERIENCE WITH KEDS

Not too long ago I visited the Taylor Swift concert here in Berlin's O2 Arena as Keds' special guest among Anni, Vreni, Mauri, Jan and a few media representatives. Keds invited us to come enjoy ourselves into their exclusive VIP Box (which is like a master suite of a hotel!) from where we had the best seats (they were even cushioned!) and had the entire O2 World in sight with just one glance. We were treated to delicious food and appetizers, great caesars salad and dessert, from which I had at least 10 - not kidding. And the champagne kept flowing as well. And shoes, lots and lots of shoes spread across the VIP Box, all from the upcoming SS2014 collection.

BEAUTY: LOOK - RED LIPS AND GOLD EYES FOR VALENTINE'S DAY

ph.: Nisi

For Valentine's Day Kevin and I created an overall bronzy look and eye catching eyes with what's almost like a Must Do for the day of love: fire red lips. The center of attention of this look or better phrased - what makes this look work so well is highlighting, for which we used a bronze color by YSL and we also added a bit of the Zoeva blush that is rosy to give me that freshness and glow. We used the same bronzer on my eyelids, not only to match colors but also because it just really complements my skin tone. The eyelids were accentuated with a lighter bronze color from Topshop.

ABOUT FEELING STYLISH IN WINTER

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.
