Mood Of The Day

sometimes it's important to keep things simple. in mind, relationships and wardrobe. 
did this moodboard almost one year ago, found it now and thought i'ld share it with you!

have a great weekend!

The Borrowed Look

 i called this post 'the borrowed look' because except jewelry and shoes everything was borrowed for this picture.
some weeks ago i was invited to a blogger night at a boutique here in düsseldorf. i met some lovely fashionbloggers from this area, we had some champagne, good conversations and browsed through the lovely fashion with a mission, find the perfect look. the best look had the chance to win a 50 € voucher.

as i am quite tall and not anywhere near a size zero it's always a struggle to find something that fits and actually is my style, especially in small boutiques. so i already was attuned to find a compromise i could live with.
but let me tell you, this is outfit is far from compromise. i love this look! i already fell in love with the white lace top a few days before when i visited the shop. i had the plan to compose my look around it, and then, that day forgot to wear a top underneath my clothes. so i had to improvise, and as all the jackets were too small i tried this amazing knitter. i love the combination of the sheer black knit and the transparent white lace. and how gorgeous is this stella mccartney look a like bag? its of the softest leather and available in different colors.

all in all i have to say this boutique is a great addition for düsseldorf! this city was missing something like this, every single piece is handpicked by the owner, who is a fashionblogger herself. she knows the trends and brings them to us for absolutely appropriate prices, no need to rob the piggy bank for an individual style. but be quick, the number of each piece is limited, which makes it even more exclusive!
i will soon post an interview with the gorgeous owner alina knips and give you all the facts about this gorgeous boutique!
for all who don't want to wait and check themselves, the boutiques name is 'La Parisienne' and you find it at Collenbachstraße 1 in Düsseldorf.

pictures were taken by her gorgeous friend, whose name i forgot (shame on me!), but shes on instagram and called 'the little black mag' (the gorgeous brown haired girl next to me). thanks to alina for sending the pictures over!

Wish I Was Wearing

i love simple looks! it's so pretty to make each piece stand out without competing.
i think there's a special beauty in simplicity and  minimalism. you take everything thats not necessary and in the end you are left with the essentials. just the things you love, not an overload of things you like. i'm not just talking about fashion alone, i mean life in general!

this is a classic black and white look with a horn box bag as highlight. i love each piece here and i think every single one would be worth a purchase, what makes it my current wishlist (at least a part of it^^). in fact, i just ordered some Dior double earring look a likeS and can't wait to wear them!


pants - JOSEPH
shirt, shoes and box bag - ZARA

I'M BACK

so i guess i'm back! took a while to get me back on track, but here i am. 
time flies like an arrow, and so blogging had to step back for a while. even reading blogs, a thing i spent hours and  hours a day with, came short. 
and to be honest, i just needed a break. a break from thinking too much about blogging, too much about how i can present myself and what people would like to read. 
i had to take a step back and think about what i want to do. what i want to blog, not just what others seem to like. 

i love fashion, it's my biggest passion, it has always been. to make it my job was my biggest dream and i did it. 
this blogging thing is supposed to be fun, my way of letting go. 
when you work in fashion most of the time you have to think what your client or customer wants. it's not about your own way of style and aesthetic, you have to think outside the box. thats the job, and thats one of the things i love about it!

but this here is supposed to be MY little box. i don't wanna think about others people opinion, if they might like it or not. this is MY project. i'm the boss, i say if it's good or not!

sure, don't get me wrong, i love to hear what you people think! and constructive criticism is always welcomed, but please don't except me to be someone i'm not. if my blog, my style, my ideas are boring for you - no problem! i don't like everything either. 

but now, i'm happy that i'm back and i look forward to all the things that might happen - or not!^^

happy first advent and official start of the christmas season!

Narciso Rodriguez RTW SS14

 
after i completly ignored all the other fashion weeks here on the blog, i thought it would be nice to show you my favourite designers with their collections on the new york fashion week.
as i'm quite busy at the moment i won't have the time to show you everything, but i'll try to show you the best pieces...

my intention was to just pick 2 or 3 outfits from narciso rodriguez...yepp...so much on that...
this collection is a dream, i liked each piece! these 12 are my absolute favourites from the 34 outfits.
i could absolutly see myself in all of these (well in case i loose the 15 extra pounds till next spring - which will definetly be the case^^)
i love the minimalistic and sophisticated look and the slick cut.
my faves are first row 4,5 and 6!

what do you think? whats your favourite from this collection?

White Leather Top

first of all let me say: sorry for the cheesy quality! it was already late that day and getting dark, i tried to save the best i could with photoshop. and if this wasn't enough, that day i had some problems with my camera, i have no clue where this noise in the image came from. couldn't see it on the little display and when i was home it was too late. 

but anyway, i still want to show you these pictures! it's one of my favourite outfits. the pants were a steal (zara sale - yippee), the shoes love at first sight and the white leather top is one of my absolute faves this summer. i love the mesh cut outs on the side and back! and the céline, what can i say next to 'love of my life'?!^^ (naaa...just joking...some kind of...:-P )

what was your favourite summer outfit this year?

pants, top & heels - zara, bag - céline, ring - ysl, sunnies - unknown

Friday Inspiration

didn't want to leave you for the weekend without this little inspirational post. these are just a few images that inspire me right now. you ask for what? well, don't know it yet, maybe the weekend will show!

right now i'm sitting at the office, having lunch at the desk (instagram) and waiting for the clock to strike 3, so i can go home.
 tonight it's VOGUEs Fashions' Night Out and i do have the privilege to live in one of the cities participating! I'm looking forward to a night full of fashion, fun, free drinks and snacks.

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.
