November is coming to an end, the christmas markets will open their doors by tomorrow, it’s getting colder and colder – slowly, but surely winter has arrived here in Cologne. But because there had been some soft and sunny days last week, I decided to show you one of my favorite fall looks with my beloved grey knit dress, a fall coat and boots.

I think I don’t have to tell again, that I’m totally in love with the current Hippie / Bohemian trend. But it doesn’t have to be „hippie“ from head to toe all the time – sometimes it’s enough to add a key piece to give some bohemian vibe to the look. Am I talking about my new skinny jeans? Of course not. I’m talking about my new printed blouse. Love at first sight.

It’s the end of April, summer is coming closer and closer and our wardrobes get filled with summer dresses, sandals and shorts. And probably we all feel the same: we like to go on summer vacation – somewhere far away. But sometimes things turn out different as hoped for: no time, no money – the great vacation need to be shunted to next summer. So, no „Great Escape“, right!? Yes, maybe. Or maybe not. Of course, going on vacation is great, but does it always have to be faraway places and desert islands? Or is it possible to experience some feeling of a „Great Escape“ right where we are?

„Dear brain, I know, it’s early in the morning and we only had one coffee by now. But, come on, we need to write this blogpost right now. So, what do you think, when you look at the pictures?”
„SUUUUUUUNSHIIIIIINE!! SEEEEEEAAAAA!! BEEEEAAAAACH!!”
„Yeeees, haha, soooo good! This day at the sea was just incredible. I can totally understand your joy, but we need some more sophisticated thoughts for this blogpost. So, go on!“
„BIIIIKIIINIIII!”

Exactly a week ago today, the beautiful ladies Farina, Mary and Lou from Novalanalove, Fashionloveland and Somegoodspirits invited us to their second #allblogeverything event at the Flamingo Royal in Cologne. There was a lot of fashion, beauty and selfie action going on, but I’m going to tell and show you everything in detail during the next week.

Happy Easter! While everyone else got chocolate and colored eggs for Easter, I’ve got something really special this year: a cold! And who gave it to me? My lovely friend Sarah. Thank you so much, honey! Haha.
Tuesday has been all about hankies, nose spray, chicken soup, tea and snapchat ( -> howimetmyoutfit). Check it out!

Do you think there is any other fabric that is cooler, more versatile and more timeless than denim!? I. Don’t. Think. So. And if it was up to me, everything would be said for today. But unfortunately it’s not up to me – oh, wait – this is my fashion blog, isn’t it!? So, it is up to my. Well, great, that’s it! Have a wonderful weekend, everybody!

Day 14 in 2015. Coffee and chia pudding. I’m all set. A look at my to-do-list tells: there are just two things done out of more than twenty. And one of these two things is only done for the moment. Because, to be honest, „do the laundry“ disappears at least for 48 hours. I have no idea why it’s always like that, but if my hair from now on would grow as fast as my pile of washing does, I would turn into Rapunzel the day after tomorrow. And if I would be Rapunzel soon, I would be sitting in a tower and probably wouldn’t have any to-do-list (and any laundry problem either). But this idea causes a problem – where should I get a tower from that quickly? The only tower that comes to my mind is Colognes TV tower. And I guess I would have to pay a rack rent. I wonder if Rapunzel needed to pay a rent? Hopefully she had a Tangle Teezer to comb all of her hair. How high was her tower? I guess not as high as mine. Question is, if my prince will be able to save me. And do I really want to get rescued? It’s pretty cozy here with my OnePiece onesie. „Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!“ „Splat!“ it goes and my pile of (laundry) hair hits the ground. Luckily, I’m wearing a Papanga, so I don’t get flung out of the window. My prince is carefully prepared – after drinking a green smoothie, he easily climbs up to my window. Beaming with joy he opens his hip bag and presents me with joy (… drum roll …) my to-do-list! „You forgot it at home!“, he says.

The last weeks haven’t been summerly at all. So I wished badly for a summer comeback. At least for one summerly day, with blue skies and warm sunshine. Without summer rain. Although the weather forecast didn’t sound promising, we decided spontaneously to spend some days at the North Sea in the Netherlands. If we won’t get our sunshine, we’ll get at least some beach and sea days. We arrived on Wednesday evening, when it already got dark. As soon as we got our things out of the car and made the beds, it started to rain and storm. And with this sizzling gas heater, we had to turn on, because it was really cold inside, it kind of felt like an untimely, but cozy fall evening.

Each and every year I can’t wait for summer to come! But when summer’s finally there, I wonder why I have been so excited. It’s the first hot summer day. I’m lying on my bed, the sun is shining through the windows. I guess sun did that for a while, because it became super hot inside my flat. My good-morning-coffee makes me sweat even more. I need to take a shower. A cold one. What now? Blow-dry my hair. Bad idea – I could use another cold shower. But there’s no time for it. Make up. It’s way to hot for make up, but I think I can’t go without, so I just put on the essentials: mascara, powder and rouge. Until we’re leaving, I’m sitting with my bikini on my bed and think about what I’m going to wear. Outside it’s even more hot. I augur ill. Sure thing – my car is standing in the sun. I open the door and a heatwave rolls over me. I quickly open the windows and get out of the car again. Five minutes later it didn’t get better, but we’re going to hit the road. The steering wheel is unbelievably hot and I start to imagine how it would look like when it would melt. We arrive. We lay down our beach towels, I walk barefoot through the sand into the water. I can feel a small breeze.

I’ll keep it short today: I wish you all a happy Easter! Enjoy the sunny holidays and have a nice time with your families. Don’t forget to eat a lot of treats.
Back in the days I was a child, the one thing I loved most about Eastern has been the Easter egg hunt. Someone somehow decided that you have to quit doing it when you grow up. That’s a real shame! Some days ago I dyed some Easter eggs and accidently almost every single one got the camouflage look. Actually not pretty, but they would have been perfect to hide in the backyard. Maybe I can convince Bene of hiding Easter eggs next year. In that case I would buy brown eggs and mix all colors again.

March is drawing to an end and slowly but surely we approach the Easter holidays. I’m not quite sure if it’s the sunny weather or the colourful easter decorations that you can see at almost every store right now, but I totally feel like dressing myself brightly coloured. Why don’t we leave painting Easter eggs to the Easter bunny for now and deck ourselves with freshly spring colors. Because spring has arrived and it’s going to stay. So, take your brushes, get set, go!
