(English / Deutsch)
For fall and winter I love to combine skirts with cozy oversized coats and boots. And although we all love over knee boots, I also needed to get some slouch boots this year. Some weeks ago I found the perfect black ones at Oasis.

Denim & Fall Colors
(English / Deutsch)
Finally, I have the chance to show you the very first look with my new vintage MCM bag, that I found some weeks ago at the Glück & Glanz boutique opening event in Cologne. (You can read everything about the vintage designer bags by Glück & Glanz here.) To create a perfekt fall look, I decided to go for different shades of brown and a material mix.
Comfort Zone: Jeans & Cozy Sweater
(English/Deutsch)
Cool jeans, my favorite shoes, my favorite shirt and my new cozy sweater by Mrs. Foxworthy – welcome to my comfort zone! Although I really like fancy clothing, casual looks are the ones I feel the most comfortable with.
Modern Safari
(EN/DE)
Some weeks ago I wrote about my six favorite spring / summer 2015 trends – and while I was searching for pieces that match the „Modern Safari“ trend, my wide linen pants, that I bought more than a year ago and didn’t wear once, came to my mind. Luckily they survived the dreary year inside of my closet. Because normally, when it comes to separating out and selling my clothes, my first rule is: „When you didn’t wear it throughout a year, you’ll never wear it again.“
I’ve got my leather pants on today!

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 big furry Yeti coat

#storyofmylife: Lately at H&M: It was clear from the outset that I wouldn’t stick to my intention to only buy a new bag and be home again in about one hour. The question is, why we are making these kind of plans again and again, when it never comes off. Maybe we try to give destiny a leg up!? Because honestly, the best buys happen, when we little liars vow to ourselves to quickly get into the city to only buy a specific garment. I have no idea, why it’s always like that, but when it works, I’m fine with it.
Material Mix Girl & Special Guest
(EN/DE)
Bloggers don’t like each other. They just bitch about each other behind their backs. Bloggers only look for their own profit. And if it seems as if they would like each other, it has to be fake.
Good thing not everything that people say is true. I guess this prejudice may go for some bloggers, but I’m always stunned how nice and heartily the most bloggers are, when you get to know them. A blogger, I especially have taken to my heart, is Lisa from The L Fashion. So I guess it’s clear who’s the „special guest“ today – of course it’s Lisa! But at bottom, originally I’ve been the guest. Because Lisas boyfriend (and photographer) Jochen has been so sweet, that he didn’t only take some pictures of Lisa some days ago, but also some pictures of me.

Shades of Red
(EN/DE)
Trend color: Red. This time I got inspired by this beautiful fall / winter 2014 look by Prabal Gurung. But he wasn’t the only one that showed us a red-on-red look this fall / winter. And although I normally don’t feel attracted by pieces in red, I’ve fallen head over heels for „shades of red“ look this year. Where does it come from? As we know, red is the color of love – so could it be, that red touches our inner romantic side? Or do we just still think red is the expression of sensuality and passion?
Blogger Fashionweek – Cocooning
(EN/DE)
As you may have read, our Blogger Fashionweek startet last Monday. Seven blogs, seven days, one topic. This week: „Cocooning“. During the last days my blogger colleagues from Belle Mélange, Goldencherry, Fashionjudy, Diamonds & Candyfloss and Blondhairpinkheart already showed you some beautiful fall looks. Today it’s my turn and tomorrow you’ll find the last but not least look on freak in you.
Overknees & Fake Fur
(EN/DE)
Yesterday, my friend Sarah (wo already took the last photos for my blog) and I shot two looks, that couldn’t be more different. You can see the first one in the pictures. Normally, I just dress how I feel to do – fashion as an expression of mood! But while we were shooting these two different looks I experienced once again, that you not only dress yourself depending on how you feel, but you also feel depending on how you’re dressed! So, fashion isn’t only an expression of our moods, it also effects on how we feel.
Sunny Days – It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over
(EN/DE)
To say it with Lenny Kravitz’ words: It ain’t over ’til it’s over. While the last week started with cold and rainy weather, I stopped hoping for some more sunny fall days. So you can image how happy I had been when the weather became warmer and more friendly during the weekend. And that’s exactly when the song „It Ain’t Over ’Til It’s Over“ came to my mind. And what holds true for love, also hold true for seasons. And so, on this sunny weekend, I had the feeling of summer again.
Grey on Grey Chic
(EN/DE)
Inspired by the grey weather, I decided to go for a grey on grey look last weekend. For a long tome now, grey is one of my absolute favorite colors when it comes to clothes. Some years ago it has been so bad, that I imposed myself a „grey-ban“. But it didn’t last long and my wardrobe still is full of grey clothes that you can combine easily. I kind of think grey is my black. At least when it comes to sweaters and cardigans.
Oversized Love
(EN/DE)
Although the weather has been quite nice yesterday, we’re kind of running with high speed into fall. And because nobody expected summer to be that short, I guess our wardrobes are full of somber clothing that missed their season and haven’t been worn for now. Added to that, hundreds of pieces we bought in sale to keep them for next summer. But honestly, who’s able to happily put the new pieces into the wardrobe, without wearing them once? I’m not. And that’s why the upcoming looks are going to be something in between summer and fall.

*UPDATE*: Die Schlüsselanhänger, die Ihr noch bis zum 31.08. gewinnen könnt sind heute bei mir eingetroffen und noch hübscher, als auf den Bildern. Allerdings sind sie braun / cognac und nicht rosa / pink!!
Hallo ihr Lieben,
Nachhaltigkeit, Umweltschutz, Charity. Das alles geht im Alltag oft an uns vorbei und ich schließe mich da nicht aus. Aber umso mehr freue ich mich, wenn ich zufällig auf ein Label stoße, welches sich eben diese Dinge zu Herzen nimmt und sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, nicht nur hübsche, sondern auch nachhaltige Mode zu produzieren. Vor ein paar Tagen erreichte mich eine Einladung zu einem Bloggercontest – das Charity Taschenlabel beliya ruft im Rahmen ihrer Kampagne GOOD COUTURE zusammen mit Ihren Partnern, den Onlineshops aboutyou.de und myClassico.com und der Grazia und der Gala, Blogger dazu auf, ein Outfit zu ihrem neuen Charity-Taschenmodell „BELIEVE“ zusammenzustellen. Generell bin ich großer Fan von kreativen Wettbewerben, aber ich bin auch meistens erst mal skeptisch und nehme die Labels vorab genau unter die Lupe.
