10 NEW FEATURES OF THE NEW UPDATED NIKE NTC APP

What's up guys!
How is your new week going? I can still feel the aftermath of my workout with Nike last Thursday. Trust me, my glutes were burning and my butt feels sore. I was able to test the new NTC app in its full new glory in some of Nike's latest collection while being guided through the workout by the amazing Nada Ivanovic, one of Nike's very own trainers. (Just when you think you feel like throwing the towel, she will keep you motivated to keep fighting. There is no giving up when she says "keep going!" - My butt thanks her now. *praying hands emoji*).
I got a first glimpse at the app and its new changes. It's a completely new app and not just an update. You have to delete the old one in order to use the new one. You can however still log in with your old account details.
Below are the 10 new features of the new version of the app.

IOANA CIOLACU EXPERIENCE FROM BERLIN FASHION WEEK - BACKSTAGE+RUNWAY

Today I need to share an unpublished post with you. I don't know how I forgot to hit the publish button on this, especially because it's one of my favourite. It's about a very special designer, a designer I have been following and supporting since her beginning as a nominee for Designer of Tomorrow Award. Ioana Ciolacu won as deserved and has since come a long way. She returned to Berlin Fashion Week every time following her win as DfT and I visited every show. Her designs and fashion inspire me and I love following her and seeing how each season evolves. The Ioana Ciolacu show was one of my favorite experiences during fashion week. I visited her backstage with Phillip, talked to her as the tension minutes to the show built up. I took a closer look at the pieces that were ready to hit the runway just minutes after and watched as the make up artists created her runway makeup looks and got the models dressed and ready.
I watched the show from the runway as Phillip stayed backstage and experienced the entire spectacle from behind closed doors. He captured all the special moments for me, as I watched my favorite looks walk the runway. Enjoy the post! I love all the images!
Fashion week is coming up again next week and in honour of it returning I'm throwing it way back to last season. Let the rumble begin..

MOET WORLD PARTY DAY

Last Saturday Moet invited people all around the World to come together and celebrate with them, sip cocktails and endless amounts of champagne and enjoy the day eating the most fancy finger food (which tasted divine btw!) while they had a few surprises in store. All around the globe in different cities it was the Moet World Party day.

The location was magical. The Ku'damm beach turned new Cappucino Cafe (one of Berlin West's new hotspot and It place for the rich) was the perfect spot. Moet had turned the place into a Pinterest heaven or something of Tumblr, a place I would have easily gotten married at. Although at first I was a little irritated about the snobbish vibes it turned into an amazing day.
My best friend and I enjoyed ourselves, met a few familiar faces as we lay in the sun and had time to catch up on what's been going on in our lives. I had so much fun on the pool floaty!

In the evening the stage opened up to a surprise act: Adesse!
Adesse's live performance was great. I found him through Instagram one day and have been following since. To hear his music live is quit the difference from hearing him on the sub with my iPhone.
Have fun looking through the pictures. I hope I was able to catch at least a glimpse of the atmosphere from the Moet party.

A YVES SAINT LAURENT BEAUTY EXPERIENCE AT GALERIES LAFAYETTE

A few weeks ago YSL held a special event at Galeries Lafayette in celebration of the launch of their newest products and trends. It was a huge afterwork event with lots of champagne, discounts on everything and a special make up show by YSL's famous makeup experts who traveled all the way to Berlin. As a Thank You for attending, Galeries Lafayette and YSL Beauty offered free make-over appointments and of course I couldn't say no to such an opportunity. I made an appointment for the next day, perfect in time for Shery's birthday party.

Sarah from YSL Beauty made me feel comfortable from the very first moment. She gave me a lot of beauty tips as she explained step by step what she was doing.
Struck in all awe I forgot to snap a picture after my look was done. I did however share my finished face and the entire make up session on Snapchat (Make sure to follow to keep up to date with my shenanegans! Add loisopoku!).
Huge thanks to Galeries Lafayette for this opportunity and Sarah for the amazing look! I looked fabulous for Shery's birthday party night out.
I bought a few new products. But more on those in a new post.. and possibly a new video? ;)

FITTING WITH FRENCH CONNECTION

BBQ WITH TIMBERLAND AND THE NEW #TBLBOATSHOES

About two weeks ago I had the pleasure of having my first BBQ of the season with Timberland in celebration of their new model the #TBLboatShoes, a loafer made for summer. The location was beautiful, the BBQ delicious, as we seemed to float on the Spree. The platform we were situated on did. Or so it felt at least. You could hear the gentle waves crash against the platform. It all looked beautiful and somewhat idyllic as if stolen from a still painting. It was almost perfect; had it not been for the chilling breeze.
But you know me. It takes little put a smile on my face and wrap me up in a sense of content. And so all it took was a face of a good friend I hadn't seen in a while. Beautiful jolly Nastya. Plus there was good food. Good drinks - double plus. Some more familiar faces - add another plus. A well decorated location that could have easily been a memory of something I might have seen on Pinterest while browsing inspiration or mistaken for an illusion, but the cold breeze I felt, made sure to remind me it was all quite real. A lovely PR Team - yet another plus.
Besides eating and chatting and discovering the latest Timberland addition, we got to choose and customize our own pair of Timberland Boat Shoes. Tucked in a little shack sat a lady patiently stitching on all our customizations chosen from various boxes of colorful patches in comic style.

I picked out a pair in baby blue and kept the customization to a minimum. Simply a little lightening in the right far corner of my right shoe. Would you laugh if I told you it nearly took me an hour to decide what to put on my shoes just to go with a little lightning tucked away in a corner? You would, probably shake your head smirking.
The shoes are made of the softest leather. And they feel comfortable.
Thank you so much Timberland for the lovely evening and BBQ session.
Thank you for the shoes!
