Favourite Outfit



unbelievable, i really uploaded a picture that shows me laughing! so that's the evidence, i do can smile/laugh ^^
i guess that outfit just gives me so much joy that i had no other choice but laugh. i love each single piece i'm wearing here, starts with the velvet slippers and ends with my oh so loved céline. 
the trench i'm wearing here is the h&m trench i showed you last weak in a post. i love it and i think i've worn it every day since i've bought it. the fabric is very light and when i walk it tends to fly and dance around my legs. the length i squite perfect for my heights i think, shorter women might have a problem with it.


trench - h&m trend, leather top - zara, pants - zara, shoes - zara, bag - céline, ring - ysl

New Header



don't know if some of you already recognized, but i have a new header. i'm still not satisfied with it, but for now i think it's the right one^^ 
there's something wrong with the color. as you can see on the picture in this post the background is supposed to be white, but it appeares in some kind of grey in the header. 

does anybody has an idea what went wrong? i'm thankfull for any hint or advice!

ZARA Lookbook Aug/Sep 2013



















so this is ZARA's lookbook for august/september 2013...really like it! i like the cuts and styles.
the easy peasy in fashion seems to stay for autumn and hopefully also for winter!
i like the relaxed and yet elegant style, which lets you look effortless. like you wanna say 'i know i look gorgeous, but i really don't care. didn't even brush my hair n still look awesome.'
and i espacially love that style when its done with a business twist. ok, people look at me, questioning my sanity, when i wear my business suit with birkenstocks und messy hair, but i don't care. i really enjoy that comfortable and easy style mixed with neat and straight business clothing. is anybody with me on that point?

do you have a favourite in the new ZARA collection? any plans to buy anything from the pictures?

Wish I Was Wearing



if there was this perfect world, the one where money and clothing size doesn't matter, i would definitely wear this today! well ok, this world does exist for a lucky few, but not for me (lets say it different; not yet for me). 
i do like this chequer trend, but i think i do have to loose a few more pounds to participate without looking like a fool. and maybe then i'll go and try to find a more affordable version of this outfit.
well, maybe^^

you can find these beauties here:

McQ Alexander McQueen skirt here
Fendi leather shirt here
Proenza Schouler PS11 here 
Gianvito Rossi ankle boots here
Daniel Wellington watch here 
Vita Fede Bracelet here 

 would you wear this outfit? do you already have the checkered feaver?

On My Mind/Feet: Zara Heels



this post was supposed to be todays on my mind post, where i wanted to tell you how badly i need these shoes blablabla...
well, yesterday i went to the city and stopped by at zaras', like i always do, and there they were, last pair, my size. i just had to buy them, especially for this price!
so this is not a on my mind post anymore, actually it's now a on my feet post.

i also added a lovely trenchcoat to my wardrobe. i saw this babe at h&m last week and though i'm on a strict budget this month, i somehow managed to get it! (at this point i have to say: danke mama^^) i was looking for a black flattery summer trench foro a while now and when i saw this one it was love at first sight! it's by h&m trend and costs 99,90 €.
available here or at your h&m store (only the stores that have h&m trend)

 






whats on your mind lately?

Graffiti City



there's this one street (kiefernstraße) in duesseldorf, it's full of graffitis. it's beautiful, everywhere different styles and colors. this is definetly modern art!
i thought this fierce black-white style is the perfect contrast. 
looking forward for autumn now, i do miss my leather pants^^

what are you missing in your wardrobe in summer?


pants - h&m, blouse - h&m, shoes - roland, watch - casio, ring - sixx, bag - melanie filiz.

Fashionable Biking




i rediscovered biking as a great way to travel. it just happend this year when my mum bought a bike for me and persuaded me to go for a little bike tour. and what can i say? since then i love it! everytime i'm there i'll find an opportunity to get my bike out and ride it. 
one of the major reasons i didn't even consider riding a bike was the thought that you can never ride a bike AND be dressed fashionable the same time. i love high heels, and most of my clothes look nice, but aren't that practical. but my biggest problem is my obsession for huge huge bags!
where the heck can i put my giant bags without jeopardizing them?! well, to be honest, i didn't find a solution for that problem yet. so for the moment i have to content myself with the medium size bags that would fit into my bicycle bascket when i plan to ride my bike. 
but the rest is absolute viable, like high heels (esp stilletos) or wide leg pants (just put a hair tie around your ankle and stuff the seam under it).

but there are a few things you should avoide when riding a bike (not just for your best, but also for the other people that see you on the street^^):

- don't wear hipsters (nobody wnats to see your plumber's crack)
- don't wear mini skirts (same with your slip - that's nobody elses' business)
- no smartphone (accident risk! facebook&co can wait until you reached your destination safely)

i think that's all. hmmm, i guess i should all tell you now to wear a helmet - yeah, do that! well actually, i don't...

On My Mind




this beautiful classy watch is on my mind for about a year now. i would really love to have this babe, but my budget says no, espacially after some month of counting every penny after some bigger expenses.
so if anyone wants to make me happy, my adress is: .... i'm joking^^
but i think this watch would be a great addition to my wardrobe, as it practically fits well with everything.
you can find it here

do you have a crush on a watch? which one is it? are you planning to buy it or do you already own it?

H&M Autumn Collection 2013 - My Favourites

all images via elleuk.com


as summerfashion disapears from the shops and autumn collections start to dominate, i wanted to show you my personal favourites of the H&M autumn collection. it was presented in paris in february and till then i do wait for the one or the other piece. lots of lots of black and some beige, that seems to be IT this season. 
all in all i love the look, the pants are amazing and the chunky knits (with bare legs) are great when temperatures start to drop down. the silhoutte is slim, but not tight tight. it's a very grown up look, perfect for me. 

do you have any favourites from my picks?

Iced Tea


this is one of my favourite drinks during summer: iced tea! 
i drink it in every conceivable variation. my personal favourite is nettle tea, but turkish apple is great too. 
i skip the sweetener, as i'm not a fan of sweet drinks. 
of corse you can use any kind of fruit you like instead or with the lemon. frozen berries are great, but you can be very creative here. i love to put in one or two slices cucumber. but if you want to try that, be aware that the cucumber gives a lot of taste and would not fit to some kind of teas. btw, cucumber with lemon tastes great in still water! this makes you even want to eat more fresh sald and veggies, so just give it a try.

the picture is another drawing i did in photoshop. again i used a photography i found on pinterest.

whats your favourite summer drink?

Hello Monday!



just want to wish you a great, amazing and productive start into this new week.

as most of the peoples' week starts with monday, mine starts with sunday...i think it's just a matter of attitude. my week starts with a free day, a day where i can rest and be thankfull for the past week and the coming one. as a christian i like to give god the first day of my week, and not the last one.

so as i said, it's a matter of attitude.

 this morning i did a painting in photoshop, which is a new kind of addiction somehow. i do paint for a few years now in my free time and learned fashion illustrating in fashion school, but this whole photoshop painting thing is new to me. i LOVE it!
i want to use my blog as a platform to show you my little 'artworks', even when they're not fashion related. i'm glad about every kind of feedback. be honest! but please be kind!^^


Lion of Juda
this is it. i took a photography as model and painted it in photoshop cs6. i named it lion of juda.
