Are you also on the hunt for the one product that makes your skin absolutely flawless? I am, and this is why I love to test new skin care products, always in the hope they might beat everything I’ve known before. For the last two weeks, I tried three new products from Kiehl’s – a face cream, a cleanser and an eye serum – and I’m happy to share my experience with you.

Face cream and cleanser are from Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Collection, which promises to reveal a more radiant and luminous skin, correct dark spots and provide a more even skin tone. All products of this collection are free of parabens and fragrance.

When I got the products I was a little bit surprised: According to the packaging, both cleanser and cream are developed and tested for Asian skin. Not my skin type, even if I am a big love of Asian fashion. Because I have sensitive and bright skin I thought they might work for me as well. Let’s see what Clearly Corrective can do for non-Asian skin!

Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective White Purifying Foaming Cleanser

The packaging says: A gentle foam cleanser for day and night use. It removes makeup and impurities without stripping. This cleanser makes the skin look more radiant and banishes discolourations.

My opinion: A small amount of it is enough to have fresh and clean skin. I use it together with my Clarisonic brush in the eve, and I like that it doesn’t leave me with itchy skin. It has a very subtle smell and a nice consistency. My skin looks brighter but not shiny after using it. Thumbs up!





Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective White Deep Moisture Clarifying Cream

The packaging says: This cream claims to be lightweight, and a quickly absorbed moisturiser that will improve the clarity of the skin while providing a 24-hour hydration for instant luminosity and skin uniformity. It helps you to fight uneven skin tones and dark spots.

My opinion: After applying it my skin truly feels refreshed and moisturised. The good feeling stays for the whole day. There are two little minus points: The first is the rather strange flowery-wooden smell (coming from the white birch in it). After a few days, I got used to it. Anyway, my skin likes this cream, and that’s more important than what my nose says. The second minus point is that it comes in a pretty jar, but unfortunately without a spatula. I used one I already had and recommend you to do the same due to hygienic reasons.

I will continue to use it and probably buy it again. While I can’t say that my skin pigmentation changed dramatically, I think it keeps my dry skin very well hydrated without making it greasy. This cream is almost half as expensive as the one I usually use, which makes it even more attractive… There is no UV protection included, so don’t forget to add additional suncream if you decide to give it a try!





Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum

The packaging says: A 5-in-1 solution for your eyes: It lifts, firms, smooths, hydrates and restores the youthful shape of the eyes. According to their tests, 95% of women showed a significant improvement in eye-opening.

My opinion: While I am a true expert when it comes to eye creams, this is my first eye serum. It feels very lightweight, and I miss a little bit the nourishing effect my eye cream has. It’s no problem to apply makeup over it, and this makes it a good product during daytime. I think I’ll continue to use this for the day, but use it under my eye cream for the night for an extra strong effect. While I think it’s not a miracle, it’s far better than many eye creams I tried and worth a try.

All products and more skin care available at Kiehl’s.
Have a happy day and don’t forget to treat your skin well.

I tested this products for two weeks. Other skin care products I used during this time: Shiseido Ibuki Softening Concentrate, Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate, Shiseido Urban Environment UV Protection Cream Plus SPF50

Why do we waste so much time with boring or insignificant things? We constantly worry about being not good, not pretty, not successful enough. We spend a lot of time with boring tasks. We drive to work in overfilled busses, full of distressed people who had to leave their dreams at home too early in the morning. Sometimes a day seems to be like the last one or the next one. I say stop! Break out!

But how? Just wearing a colourful jacket will not safe the world. But why not take it as a start? Do something you never did before, get bold! Be curious and don’t fall into routine. Have a date with your boyfriend after spending years together, wear a colour you never dared to and most important: Don’t take yourself and everything happening too serious.

Yes, today I felt like wearing a whole neon rainbow, so what? You can love it, you can write my name on the list for the bad taste contest. I don’t care, because I’m happy. Just smile!

How do you like this look lovelies?

Do you recognise this blue-skinned flamingo girl? 100 points: It’s me!
A dreamy girl in a purple landscape: One of my favourite pictures from Robin Eisenberg.
A mighty heroine, maybe from outer space?
Look at those eyes! Whoever doesn’t fall in love with this cat has no heart at all.
What a couple! They must have invented Rock N’ Roll…

Robin Eisenberg art for your home. Pimp your shower, sofa and your wall!

Wow, one of my goals have come true: I’ve been drawn from a very talented young illustrator. I love the work of illustrator Robin Eisenberg so much, I just had to share it with you.

Robin Eisenberg is an illustrator from Los Angeles. She describes herself as a nerd who likes Star Trek, letters and cactus plants. Her work is enormously vibrant and clearly comes with a cheerful 80s influence. It’s easy to guess that Robin must have grown up with My Little Pony and Lisa Frank. While Robin has been drawing for her whole life, she only decided five years ago to try it as a job.

Since then she did quite a few album covers and other work for bands, as well commissioned work for magazines. Very often she paints cool babes or yummy food such as pretzel or chocolate covered strawberries. Personally, I always get hungry when I see her avocado and pizza prints.

Fortunately this mega babe has a shop as well, so we can all own bed sheets, pillows, phone covers or even shower curtains, featuring the illustrations.

Visit Robin Eisenberg’s page and shop her things here.

As a little girl, I loved the scarf drawer of my grandmother. I often touched the smooth fabrics of her scarves and was fascinated by their patterns. My grandmother used to wear them around her neck and to protect her hair. For a very long time, I thought that silk scarves are attached to ladies of her age and only had nostalgic feelings regarding them. 
I rediscovered them a few years ago, when amazing designers like Cléo Ferin Mercury appeared with updated stylish designs fit for a contemporary audience. I am seriously thinking about starting my own silk scarf drawer. Granny would be so proud of me.
Cléo Ferin Mercury is an independent designer, based in London. Her hand-rolled silk scarves are made with a lot of attention to detail and come in bold designs. If you are not a scarf type, maybe you will reconsider after seeing those amazing designs. Otherwise, you will find cute detachable collars to make your heart beat faster.
The theme of the SS 2015 is “Nautical” and takes us to a mystical place deep beneath the sea. Pretty mermaids emerge from their seashell beds and meet colourful fishes while majestic ships battle against the waves with their sails hoisted. There are treasure chests to be discovered as well as beautiful shells. All you need to do is just to dive in!

Monster Cat: Karl thinks she can be nasty, I think she is just cute as a button.

Moschino and Karl Lagerfeld in one look, impressive isn’t it? Sometimes even the lovers of independent designers – such as me – fall for the major labels… Carl wants to marry his cute cat Choupette, so how do you think I could resist having her on a tee at least? The tee was a gift from my darling, he said that it just belongs to me. I wanted to show it to you since I got it, but it was so cold during the last weeks. Finally I was brave enough to step outside with it.
The Moschino bag was a gift from me to myself, I just couldn’t go on without this fashion milestone from Jeremy Scott in my life. I am a humble girl and I still feel bad if I spent a lot of money on fancy things and I certainly don’t need expensive things for my ego. I feel so astonished that this bag is mine and expect it to vanish again every moment like an air built castle. But whenever I open my eyes again, it’s still there. Thank you life, I love you, you are so good to me!
I never go to McDonalds to be honest. Isn’t it sweet irony that a fast food inspired bag won over my heart in a storm? McDonalds is an icon of pop culture for me. The red and yellow signs from the fast food chain (which have been replaced by green ones) remind me of the nineties, when fast food was so cool over here and we’ve been excited to spend our birthdays in the place with the big yellow “M”. 
It felt like the huge world has finally come over to our sleepy town, when the first Mc opened. I’ve always been a little bit afraid of Ronald McDonald and I bet you agree: Choupette is far, far cuter than him and wins every game. Maybe she would try a burger, if I don’t…
What do you think about this look lovelies?

Look who is back: JumpFromPaper and their SS 2015 – called “Girl Gang Power”. Inspired by sport and campus life, it showcases the primary colours blue, yellow and read. The guys at Taipei-based label JumpFromPaper got into 90s movies and came up with a fantastic throwback. Not just tennis court beauties and baseball heroines will love this collection!

The lookbook – shot by young London photographer Charlotte Rutherford – captures perfectly well the sporty vibe of a cool high school girl gang.

Either if you like the bags from JumpFromPaper or not, you must admit that their quirky 2D-looking bags are true eye-catchers and have the power to turn heads. Yes, believe me: They are real and waiting for you!

Everybody needs unicorn stickers for sure.

Do you love receiving parcels as much as I do? Standing on tiptoes and checking the mailbox with the feeling of sweet anticipation is just such a great feeling. Because it’s not always Santa’s turn, from time to time a girl needs to order gifts for herself. I love surprises and beauty boxes and already tried a few until I heard of the Lucky Dip Club.

Lucky Dip Club is a subscription box full of cute handmade presents. One of the best things is that each box includes a personalised, unique item. The goodies could include pretty stationary, jewellery, homeware or DIY kits. Every 1st of each month at 7am a new box theme launches and if you would like to grab one you have to be very fast. The theme of the box I received was “Valley of the Unicorns”.

Usually, the boxes sell out in a few hours only. Of course, you can save yourself the troubles and just sign up for a monthly subscription.Unfortunately, they announced to stop international delivery due to thigh costs just after I ordered my first box. So this is for my readers in the UK only. Enjoy this box of treasures!


This is what I found in my box:
– A unicorn brooch by I Love Crafty
– A sticker sheet
– Two little notebooks
– A personalised necklace
– An illustrated postcard
– A label set
– A zine explaining the items in the box and telling about their makers


Costs: One box for £18, monthly subscription £15, six months for £84

My opinion: I loved what I found in my box, and the unicorn brooch alone would have been worth ordering this box. Truly a box full of magic and as well a lovely gift for a crafty friend!

What does the future bring? Where will we go and what doors will close and open? Are our dreams too big or will reality even exceed them? Today’s future is tomorrow’s past, and there will always be new questions.

Thinking too much about the future sometimes distracts from the present. But it’s the here and now we are living in, and today is never coming back. So live it, breath every bit of air like it’s something special and enjoy yourself! Don’t spend your days following others dictating you what to do, but follow your own path.

Nobody knows what tomorrow brings. Very often, we can’t even guess the little surprises life will drop in front of our door, not to mention the big life events.

When somebody wanted to discuss with me the new it-colour grey a few months ago, I just refused to believe that I would wear grey. Grey is for mouses, for people without joy and courage. Well, look at me now! I’m wearing grey, and it feels edgy and futuristic.

I watched Barbarella a while ago a and this jumper made me think of her fluffy spaceship. It’s easy to style a science fiction look if you have a haircut like mine. Just add shiny metallics like my new fantastic shoes from Voegele Shoes and the Maison Martin Margiela candy clutch, and ready is the fashion ship commander!

I think my sense of fashion benefits from watching old science fiction movies… Let’s stay inside and boldly go through the DVD collection (where no man has ever gone before)!

“Oh my god, I found the holy grail of jewellery”, this is what I thought when I discovered the page of Boo and Boo Factory for the very first time. Just thinking about this jewellery makes me jittery. While the usual brown and black leather jewellery doesn’t attract me at all, this unique handmade pieces are what make a girl’s heart beat faster.

Boo and Boo Factory was founded by Chicago-based designer Christina Anton. All her pieces are handmade with a lot of attention to detail and using ethically sourced materials. Christina studied architecture, and this is a big inspiration for her jewellery as well as science, nature and natural forms.

Influenced by geometric form, Boo and Boo Factory’s designs are bold and like a trip to a super colourful rainbow land. The funky shaped leather pieces with their feathers, tassels and beads look like wearable art. Very often, they even come in neon, what could be a better antidote to the winter blues?

Finally somebody makes statement necklaces that deserve this name. I am convinced: If you heard about this shop, your life will not be the same anymore. Say hello to colours and goodbye to monotony!

sunglasses, ss 2015, eyewear
1  –  2  –  3 –  4
5  –  6  –  7  –  8

Let’s shop sunglasses! They can completely change the look of a face in an instant. Sunglasses are just my favourite accessory and I never leave the house without a pair of them. At the moment, it might be more the snow than the sun dazzling, but this might change soon.

I recommend going for bold statement glasses. They are just so much fun. I don’t see why somebody should choose a modest model. Go for colourful, big, completely round or extreme cat eye, but don’t go for boring!

Most of the glasses in this post are designer pieces, but I think they are worth an investment. Most girls invest in bags, I say glasses are just as important. After all, they will sit right on your face.

I am especially in love with the blue and yellow Miu Miu glasses (2) and the Linda Farrow x Agent Provocateur cat eye glasses (4). I plead for the boldest as usual…

Which sunglasses from this post are your favourites?
