HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

happy valentines day roses lisforlois Happy Valentines Day Loves!

I just wanted to leave you with a few impressions of Valentines Day to in celebration of the day of Love. Isn't it wonderful that we have a day dedicated to the most beautiful thing on earth, Love? I know Valentines Day can be so overrated and "just about the gifts" or making single people feel more miserable about being lonely than they already are. I know Valentines Day shouldn't be singling out a day to love, because everyday should be a day to love.
But I think it's nice we have a day on which the theme of love is omnipresent and we can appreciate the fact that we are able to fall in love, share and spread love and love another. May it be your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your family, your best friend, your pet or simply someone you love.
What you make of Valentines Day is entirely up to you.
No, I don't have a boyfriend to be snuggling up to and expecting chocolate and bouquet of roses from.
Yet I choose to spread love and be in love with the fact that everyone is sending love. I stay completely blind to the anti-valentines-day advocates. I see what I want to see, and that is love being around at least for a timespan of 24 hours.

Valentines day for me is all about red Lips and roses. And red dresses maybe? So cliché!
This year I was very happy to be surprised with a bouquet of roses from a handsome guy dressed in a tuxedo at my door step. Thank you Durex for this! We even took some selfies. Check it on Insta.

Beauty-wise I stay simple with my fav mascara by YSL, black eyeliner highlighted with gold on the end of the wing (YSL babydoll eyeliner in gold!) and red lips. This year I choose the new Style Lip Lacquer in matte red.

Special gifts can be hard to find for Valentines Day. I've fallen in love with the idea of love locks.
Lock a dream in devotion to love yourself and putting you first every once in a while more, lock your friendship with your best friend or lock your love with your lover. I got super cute locks from NOTHS.
You can find them on www.noths.de or www.notonthehighstreet.de and have them engraved as well.
Put that on your gift list for next Valentines Day!

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 1

Last week was that time of the year again - Berlin Fashion Week frenzy, buzz, parties, events, runway shows and more fashion shows. This year I took it upon myself to take a more relaxed approach to fashion week and declined most invitations. I wanted to have time to still go to uni and choose only a handful of events that seemed most interesting for me. Nevertheless my schedule was pretty exciting and still quite packed. Here is the first post of my fashion week adventures. Let's get started!

MBFW BERLIN: IOANA CIOLACU - BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE AND INTERVIEW

ioana ciolacu berlin fashion week januar 2015 lisforlois
I have been a fan of Ioana Ciolacu since I first saw her. It was at the press conference with Stella McCartney. I was rooting for her to win the Award, not only because I her showcasing piece and her collection "Paradox" completely blew me away. But there was something about her that I immediately liked. I remember her, shy, but so genuine. She won the Designer for Tomorrow Award of 2013 and last summer she presented her debut collection as the official winner of the DFT Award, which again was one of my favorite collections by far presented at Berlin Fashion Week.

This season she returned to Berlin on her own with a new collection. Her being one of my favs since she emerged, for two seasons straight - imagine my joy, when I received a personal message from her via Facebook if I was interested to attend her show. She herself invited me to her show! Soon after I received the official invitation, backstage passes and one of her runway dresses to attend her show in.
(A little bit of gossip on the side: I even organized some friends to walk her show. Salimata, you looked amazing!). Enjoy a post full of runway and backstage impressions.
