The Turtleneck

autumn is here and it brought one trend back i waited for all summer - the turtleneck!
with hairs plugged in and neutral colors this look is just right up my street. heavy knits or smooth cashmere, i don't care as long as it is cozy and keeps me warm!

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!

Easy Peasy DIY

easiest way to customize your stuff? just get some marble, metallic or wood foil and stick it all over!

i love the modern touch my notebook got with this marble accent. and how gorgeous is the phone case? i got it from a euro shop and love it after i diyed it!

you can particulary stick it on anything. i wrapped an old shoe box, a vase and even a frame. you could even wrap a table (saw that on pinterest).

Home Is Where The Pants Aren't

first thing i do when i come home - get off my pants (and then bra^^)

what's your first thing?

Trend Alert: Birkenstocks

birkenstocks, it's a love or hate thing. some are head over (no) heel into this super mega trend, some would rather walk barefoot. but what's for sure, this is one of the biggest trends this summer. 

every hip brand made look a likes and even the ss14 runways were full of them. 

and when british vogue styles a whole editorial with them on topmodel miranda kerr, this definitely is a big thing.

this trend is just right down my alley! i love my bircks and had spend almost complete last summer in them. they are comfortable and look super trendy when styled with some chic and minimalistic outfits. 

you will definitely see me in my bircks this summer, what about you? is it a love or hate thing?

Fur the Home

so, i just jumped onto the interior train and can't get enough of those beautiful inspirational pictures.
though spring is there and temperature is rising, i'm really into fur right now. on chairs, beds, tables or on the floor - i just love it!

Bye Bye Winter Coats

as winter is officially over now, i start to enjoy the thought of spring coming, actually it's just around the corner. 
but seeing this ladies with their gorgeous coats something deep inside of me screams 'snnooow'! we had no snow over here and the temperatures barely even dropped under 0°C this winter. 
but i guess there is enough  time to wear all these beautiful coats next winter!
so let's all say goodbye to the woolen ones and pass over to over beloved trenchcoats and leatherjackets and embrace the sunny weather!

Marble Marble

another thing the 90s revival brought back: marble. 
yes, marble. absolutely trendy in the 90s and absolute kitsch a long time afterwards. 
funny how something that was such a big no-go for years can appear so fresh and sophisticated. 

and since there are people like Joyce from MyDubio we all can diy that great trend so easily at home. so grap some marble foil and give that old flower pot a mare-over!

Inspiration

heres a little inspiration on home office. a beautiful workspace at home can be a quite nice addition to  the interior decoration and give your whole apartment a creative touch. 
i'm looking for some change, and as i won't move as quickly as i hoped, i have to change some things. my desk is really boring and it's quite hard to get creative and motivated to work at home.
i gotta change that! and hopefully these inspirations will help me to change what i have with a minimal cost factor.

The Red Nail

aren‘t we all a sucker for red nails? come on, we all do love this nail style, it‘s just as classic as a red lip and can go with everything. 
sure, we all do have our favourite shades and  we all wear it different. but what‘s for sure is that this is a classic. you can‘t go wrong with it - never. 
it‘s never too polished nether too casual. you can dress up or down. do a natural look or all smokey eyes with matching red lips. 
i‘ve never been a fan of the bright red nail, don‘t know why, but i‘m attracted to the darker shades with a pinkish or plumish shade. and every year around december/january it draws me back to this staple and proved style. all summer i‘m quite true to my essie nude mademoiselle, but as it gets darker outside, my nails go darker too.
there are so many shades, budget or luxery, theres a shade for everyone. and i think every woman should at least own one perfect red nailpolish. 
but ladies, don‘t forget the base coat - nobody wants yellow nails (yiekkh).  

which is your favourite? any tips for me?

wish i was wearing

you know, if there was this world, far far from reality, where there are no limits to money and clothing size doesn't matter, i would totally wear this outfit today! i love the clean look of white/ecru wool and smooth beige suede, it looks so comfy and easy.  and the ray ban would be the perfect pop of color!

the jimmy choo pumps caught my eyes at the jimmy choo store 2 weeks ago, they are absolutly adorable, the leather is the softest i ever touched and they have this subtle and yet very loud glamorous touch. i love them in black - silver even more, but for this outfit the beige version definetly suits better.
the coat is just awesome, reminds me of a bathrobe, and absolutly perfectly displays my current mood in fashion. easy, comfy, relaxed but yet luxurious, classy and feminine.

and no, this is no advertising for net-a-porter, i just love this shop and you can find the most amazing designer clothes there. i earn no money when you click the links, i just want to share my fashion dreamworld with you.^^

obviously, i can't afford an outfit for 10,177  € (!). cause thats the price for this amazing outfit from head to toe. i just added the retail prices for fun, and was honestly shocked by the outcome. i didn't even check the prices when i choose the items, i just picked what i liked. 

did you ever compose your perfect outfit without considering the pricetags?


get the items here:

Missoni coat - here
Tomas Maier pullover - here
J Brand pants - here
Jimmy Choo pumps - here
Givenchy necklace - here
Ray Ban sunglasses - here

Street Style - New York Fashion Week SS14

just like most of you, i guess, i'm a sucker for street style pictures. they give inspiration, show real people how they dress and interpret fashion and trends for themselves. 
 we see fresh trendsetter sporting the newest labels and designs. they comunicate the spirit of their time, and give some of us the courage to try something new. they are so inspiring to me, and as a fashion designer and trend consulter-to-be, it has become absolute indispensable. 
fashion week is the very best place to shoot street style, as all the fashionable and stylish people there are just too willing to pose in front of all the cameras.

so all of us could take pictures of people in the street, but just a few are able to make it look so great that they can make a living from it. one of these absolute top photographers is Adam Katz Sinding. the american self-taught photographer is one of my favourites, as his pictures always have a special something and he is perfect in catching the right moment. among others he is selling his images to w magazine, where i found these street style pictures.

as we can see black, white and blue are THE colors at the moment.
i love the laid back cool look that's also called the french editors look by some. i love women who look effortless sexy and elegant, that have this kind of hidden yet obvious glamourous attitude.
