made with love.

Actually I'm a huge ballerina fan and really need an event to carry out my high heels. But today I felt like those pants needed some pumps. I took my straw hat (yes, it's another one as in the fields), the marbled red basic shirt by H&M and Promod chinos, which I bought a long long time ago (2006?), when chinos first appeared in the fashion world (I remember the guys asking whether I wear joggers) :-D The necklace is pretty new. My sister and I decided to buy it as an sibling mark, since its print says "Made with Love". Did you already enter my giveaway?

denim riffles and leo belt.

This year we had like no appreciable summer, except some shiny days. So today. I chose the Primark denim blouse, my fury leo belt, black suede pants and half-varnish flats. It is said that this week will bring the summer back and I'm happy to spend the weekend with my love. We'll have kind of vacation for 3 days and it's also his birthday. Just two days of work left. Remember to enter my giveaway, click for it here.

in the fields- bikerjacket.

Last pictures of our nature shoot last Sunday. I wore my wonderful Stradivarius bikerjacket and, again, the black lace-up boots. I think both match perfectly! Seeing these pictures I recognize I really have to buy the Aviator for me. This is my sister's one, there was no chance to steal it :-D See her in the last pictures, with her baby Choco ♥

in the fields- Aviator and studs.

Second look of our trip in the nature. Wearing the black Budapester lace-up boots, oversize shirt by Stradivarius and different sunglasses: classic Wayfarer and my sister's Ray Ban Aviator (I think I'll need it soon) If you don't do yet, follow on Facebook. There are so many advantages :-)

in the fields- lace shorts and straw hat.

Just as promised, here the first part of three of our photoshoot in the fields. Best weather conditions made the walk a spectacle, three outfits, different locations.We had a lot of fun and what turned out are hundreds of lovely pics. Today I'll show you the combination of lace shorts and silver pullover, combined with black lace-up boots and straw hat. I hope you like it :-)

oui.

Do you guys share my love for long skirts? I think they are damn practical, breezy and dressed at the same time, wearable every season and a real alternative to jeans. Beside the long ZARA one, the net lace one by H&M and the dark orange pleated skirt by Primark, I call this blue exemplar mine. Combined with Mango's oui-shirt and Urban Outfitter's half-transparent flats I enjoyed the morning sun last Friday. Today I'll spend the day in the fields, having a little shoot. Have a great Sunday everybody :-)

dreamteam ♥

Actually I just wanted to take some pictures of my new and beloved Stradivarius bikerjacket, but little Baby Paco needed to sit on my lap as always, so it turned out to be a hard photoshoot... In the end I thought the pics were too cute to withhold. I'm going to have a real shoot tomorrow. I have to show you some boots as well :-) Remember to pay attention to the pic's main part now: my lovely jacket ♥

sunset.

Wearing my "plus joli pull" I capitalized on the sunset Thursday evening. I plan to take some pictures with my sister in the fields again. Did you see our last session from March? We're lucky to live near the inner city, at the same time near a large moorland/forest. I think that's one of the reasons I'm attached to my homeland ♥

Fashion Week SS'12: latest wanna-haves.

denim collar.

Yesterday I mixed some blue and green: my denim shirt, the white wool pullover and green pants. To accentuate the collar, I used my Primark necklace, taking it twice. Today it's my ZARA's branch first birthday and our managers prepared a little surprise. I'll shoot some pics for tomorrows post now. Have a nice day everybody. And PS: I think I'm going to cut my hair :-)

black basis.

Just a short post about what I wore going to work yesterday. Black basis, brown Stradivarius skirt, leo scarf and Louis-Baby. I think about cutting my hair. I'm so inspired by Alexa Chung and I see short hair as an alternative now. What do you think about it? Have a nice day everybody!

plush vest.

After some work in the morning (laundry, paperwork, household), I spent the day with my love in the mall. I didn't buy anything, but a DVD (Walk the Line) and later on we had dinner. What's new in my closet (still from Sunday family shopping), is the plush vest by Vero Moda. So comfortable and perfectly matching with my leathern riding boots and Mulberry Alexa-Baby. Click here to follow on Facebook.

earmuffs.

See my wonderful new leather boots (of course a great bargain as I always try to grab) and the Vintage-lookalike cardigan with big brown buttons. These are the purchases of Sunday, when the mall had special opening (in Germany the stores usually open from Monday to Saturday). How do you like my cute earmuffs? I already had some, but the halter was too big for my little head :-D Yesterday we took a walk in the forest and went for a mushroom foray. After some succesful finds, we finally ate them with scrambled eggs and bred- sooo yummy! Have you ever did so? That's one of my greatest childhood memories.

early morning.

This is my look from saturday morning, when I waked up for work. It's damn cold in Hamburg's early hours now and I really didn't want to get up. This is why I decided to wear my UGG boots (made my feets feel like still in bed), a big snood and the green vest. The cardigan is partly made of angora and feels so comfortable. I just bought it at Primark last Tuesday. See the other pics below and please pay attention to its backside. Cool hm? :-)

pleated skirt.

Striped naked back longsleeve, pleated skirt (bought at Primark last Tuesday), chain sandals, YSL Arty and Mulberry Alexa. What you can't see are the short pants I wore under the skirt, just because of the cold :-D As a necklace I chose the new Primark one, which is even long enough to take it twice. Since the striped shirt always reminds me of Coco Chanel, I needed to wear pearls as well. Twisted with the golden one, I created a new look. How do you like it? And what about following on Facebook? ;-)

Indian summer.

Finally it was the right weather for the look I already planned to wear for months. Hot enough for naked legs, fresh enough for Minnetonkas. I love to combine boots and naked legs, I think it looks damn cool and comfy. In Hamburg, nearly every second girl wears Minnetonkas these days. There seems to be a huge hype and I love to see others combining the moccassins. How do you like them best? Excuse the small pics. I just changed widths yesterday and didn't want to prepare the photos again. From tomorrow on: big pics. I promise :-)

how wonderful?

Oh my God how wonderful can shoes be? Today I can't hold myself and purchased these God-given leather heels by ZARA. Too lucky they weren''t that expensive they look like. Also available in black with silver heel, but I decided to take the lovely ones above. Can't wait to wear them. Dream shoes!! (I would love to have them also in blue, unfortunately not possible. ZARA, why not?)

big wool.

After shopping at Primark, I of course had to wear some of my purchases today. I chose the big wool cardigan, combined with a black snood. To pretty up the look, I coiled round my big gold necklace. Black boots and Mulberry Alexa completed the outfit. The weather turns autumnal now and we need to wear jackets in Germany. Too bad I'm not Italian or something :-(

Fashion Week SS'12: first impressions.

I collected some impressions from this year's fashion weeks. Are you interested in some runway videos as well? You should check out Fashion Network (www.fnetwork.com), also available for your mobile phone. It's a great front row feeling :-) Click below.

a day at Primark.

Spending the morning at Primark, a simple and practical look was asked. I chose my suede leggings and a restrained top, as well as my denim shirt and shoulder bag (you know both hands are needed at Primark!). All mixed up with a leo scarf, it turned out to be a great decision. Shopping was very successful and I grabbed some real bargains. See some of them below :-)

30 fashion designers you should know... #25

DOLCE & GABBANA

What happens when two souls, one of them the son of an clothing manufacturer, the other one an accomplished graphic designer, meet each other in the Italian metropolis Milan? A creative power explosion, a big love, a beginning. Inspired by the neo-realistic films of Fellini, Rossellini and Visconti, Dolce & Gabbana began 1982 creating mafiosi suits, traditional black dresses with peasant skirts, fringed shawl, lace, the mixture of feminine and masculine... An ode to the Mediterranean Island Sicily, where Domenico Dolce grew up in the sixties. It all began with small collections shown on a few models in their studio, but soon changed into succes and the duo became a real trademark. Their creations make the woman wearing it feel like a celebrated star. Dolce & Gabbana employed nearly 4000 staff members in 2009 and The New York Times highlighted the achievements of Domenico and Stefano in an article marking their twenty-year anniversary: "It does not seem likely that many people could have envisioned a way to turn distressed jeans or sluttish corsets or pointy-toed shoes or slick suits or football jerseys into an irresistible global export. Yet Mr. Dolce and Mr. Gabbana did."

fine steps.

This is what I chose to wear on sunday, when I spent my day as a poll worker in school. Maybe some kind of overdressed, but I think we should always try to look our best. And to say it with Coco Chanel's words: "I can't understand how a women can leave the house without fixing herself up a little- if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."

silk blouse and YSL Arty.

Love love love my silky blouse. It was an individual item at our branch's repository and I looked at it for weeks. Finally decided to make it mine, I combined it with nothing but black tights and my Yves Saint Laurent Arty. The nailpolish you see here, is Chanel's Black Pearl.

9/11.

In memory of all the people dying the 11th of september ten years ago, I decided not to post any outfit. There are much more important things going on today and I want you to remember all the people loosing their family members in the Twin Towers, as well as the Pentagon and the four planes. I hope all that animosity and terror against the Western civilization will find an end at anytime. Rest in peace casualties of 9/11.

twiggy style.

These are the pics of yesterday night, when my friend Laura celebrated her farewell. She got a college place in Lancaster, England, and is going to move next tuesday. I dressed up like Twiggy that night. I chose an A-line dress by ZARA and my black glitter wedges by H&M. I hope you'll have a nice weekend everybody. I'm excited for next tuesday, it's my free day that week and we're going to shop at Primark yeeeah! (In the third pic, you see my lovely girl Lisa.)

at the beach.

Some little pics of a wonderful day at the Baltic Sea. We took our swimming togs and just drove away. Spending the day at the thermal bath, swimming, sauna, chilling. After all, we took a walk at the beach until the clouds covered the whole sky and it began to rain. That was when we decided to go home. I always promise myself to use free days for great activities like that, but in the majority of cases we're too lazy to do so ;-)

a zebra in wedges.

Oh I'm excited! There's a really cool collaboration with an international and well known brand coming up and it'll all begin with a wonderful giveaway for you, my lovely readers, on my blog. So keep reading guys and follow on Facebook being the first to know about news and the giveaway. What I chose wearing today are green pants, my striped blazer and black lace up wedges. All in all a casual and comfortable look (as always).

call me Coco.

Today a Coco Chanel typical reminder: striped shirt, quilted bag. I really love that shirt because of its backside (you'll see in the photos below). It's kind of simple and special at the same time. Combined with black and gold accessories (I bought the bag on a flea market some years ago), I think it's the perfect look for any activities. Casual, noble and chic. What do you think about a giveaway on my blog? There will be one very soon... Keep reading :-)

blazer baby.

Finally the last and black one of my new suede pants. I decided to combine it very conventional with my grey blazer and varnish flats. Do you guys watch "Glee"? I'm going to have a look at it this evening. I saw the Vogue reporting on it, so my interest grew ;-) Normally I really like musical movies (I even like "High School Musical" or "Camp Rock"- okay that is kind of embarrassing :-D), so I'm excited to watch this episode of "Glee". Have a great day everybody.

at the lake.

After hours of hard work in the garden, we spent some freetime at the "Außenmühle", a lake and park near the inner city. Although it was pretty hot, it was cloudy and rainy as well :-( Meeting my parents, we later decided to have dinner. Now we're sitting in front of the TV, watching the weekly crime thriller. I hope you got a nice weekend everybody. Are you on Facebook?

suede and lace.

Again my new suede pants (today in beige), combined with a soft lace cardigan and plaited sandals. This is what I wore, going to work on saturday. Now, that it's official autumn, we welcomed the sun again and had about 27°C today. I'm excited for tomorrow, when Timo and I have got our free day and plan to work in the garden, take a walk in the city (there's a festival called "Alstervergnügen") and visit the local flea market. So, I hope to manage everything ;-)

there's a wolf in my garden.

New wolf shirt, new leather leggings (I bought them in every single color! They are so comfortable and cool- you'll see ;-) ). We had great weather on friday, so I prepared my terrace and invited some friends to stock up on some sunshine. In the evening Timo and I went to the cinema, watching "What a man", a German movie. It was real fun and the main actor Matthias Schweighöfer is such a sexy guy ;-)

fake fur leo.

Hmmmmm... Actually I searched for that kind of fake fur jacket a long long time (I already needed it last year). But in my dreams, the hood had some little ears on it... Anyway. There it is. A fake (yes, I want it to be fake) leopard fur coat, for a special price: I already told you I'm a real bargain hunter. Of course I didn't buy the ZARA TRF fur coat. I tried the children's one (I'm 13-14 years now :-D), and easily safed 35€. We often have nearly the same pieces in both departments; so if you've got a petite figure go and give it a try.

hello sunshine.

Another shirt I bought on sale at ZARA. Unfortunately it is pretty hard to find the right bra for it, because of its cut. At the moment I'm crazy about high quality (and sleek material) items. I love to spend my money recognizing the chosen item will last for a while. And what's also important: a resisting value. So go and choose your next dream item to save money for. You won't regret ;-)

colorful.

Today I gotta show you another outfit from two weeks in Goslar. I chose my pink blazer, dark blue jeans, pink shoes and that wonderful, colorful and huge necklace by H&M. It was reduced to 3€, but, please call me bargain hunter, I just payed 1,50€ (I found some defects) :-) I'm always proud on me, it's so much fun to grab a bargain. Hihi.
