Lovely Trend: Your Handbag Is Your Best Friend

5th June 2015 8 Comments

cute handbags, fluffy bags, bags with eyes

Furry Backback – Cat Pouch
Shark Bag – Yellow Keychain – Rainbow Coloured Keychain – Owl Backpack
Monster Choupette Bag – Flying Pig Handbag

Are you lonely sometimes or just in the need for more cuteness in your life? Then these bags and keychains are waiting for you to keep you company! One is cuter than the next; my dream is to have all of them and start a little zoo of pretty creatures.

Life is too short for boring bags! Carry around some joy and never grow up entirely! Your inner Peter Pan will agree and have a lot of fun, carrying a furry creature or a hungry shark with you and have that perfect “what-else” expression on your face.

I think cute bags hold kind of a precious super power: They can make even the grimmest people smile. Just observe the reaction of people on the street when somebody with a flying pig on his shoulder crosses and you will agree.

Which one of those bags is your favourite?

Lovely Shopping: Splish Splash the New Beach Fashion Is Here

25th May 2015 3 Comments

Parrot Print Swimsuit – Flamingo Swimsuit – Melon Swimsuit
Sequin Pineapple Swimsuit – Rainbow Triangle Bikini – Rainbow Print Swimsuit

Even Game of Thrones fans must admit: Summer is coming! Time to start dreaming of splashing in a swimming pool and thinking about what to wear.

Probably 99% of all girls (including me) don’t feel very well being almost naked in public, but I promise: It gets (a little bit) better if you are wearing a stunning bikini or swimsuit. People will look at the fantastic print of what you wear instead of the structure of your orange peel skin. Anyway: We are all not perfect, and it doesn’t matter, so celebrate summer with a colourful beach look and just have fun!

As you can see, my heart clearly beats for swimsuits this year, and while I am always on the colourful side, everybody else seems to join me this year. Never in the years before was it so easy to find beachwear and I could have selected a lot more. I hope I included your favourite too…

So tell me: What do you like best from the beach fashion here and do you have summer holiday plans already?

Sunday Shopping Wish List

10th May 2015 2 Comments

Citrus Slice Necklace – Pink Glitter Sunglasses – Prawns Ruffle Top
Caterpillar Brooch – Pink Dungarees – Tropical Swimsuit
Pastel Jelly Shoes – Iridiscent Handbag – Cupcake High Heels

Originally, this would have been my Friday Favourites post, but sometimes things turn out a little bit different and my daytime job kept me from finishing it. Isn’t Sunday the best day for pretty things in any case?

I imagine you, sitting on the balcony, wearing radiant sunglasses and reading this post with your laptop on your knees. Do you feel the summer in your heart when your skin gets touched by warm rays of sunshine? I promise, this summer will be a very sweet one, there are loads of pretty pastels ready to land in your shopping basket. I collected my favourite finds just for you.

Last month in London, I met my very special lilac-haired friend Hanni. She is a big inspiration and I don’t know anybody who lives the pastel dream like she does. Her whole flat is a divine pastel wonderland and she looks like the sweetest candy cane in the whole universe. Every time I see her, I feel the urgent need for more pastels too. So Hanni, this post happened under your influence.

Please tell me what you think about my wish list pieces. Have a happy Sunday and maybe start the week wearing pastels.

Lovely Shopping: Bold Sunglasses

5th February 2015 6 Comments

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?

Lovely Shopping: Valentine’s Day

26th January 2015 6 Comments

Heart & Bow Fascinator: Pearls & Swine – Matches Necklace: I Love Crafty – Platform Shoes: YRU
Heart Ring: Ariel Gorden – Heart Clutch: Asos – Sunglasses: Yesstyle
Heart Choker: Suzywan Deluxe – Perfume: A Beautiful Life – Lips Dress: Alice McCall
Hearts Skirt & Crop Top: Ichiban

Oh my, it’s almost Valentine’s Day! Time for hearts, kiss lips and even more hearts! Here I show you my favourite finds inspired by the day of love. Especially the Alice McCall dress and the YRU platform sandals took my heart by storm. Accomplished by some of the accessories from this post, they would make the outfit of my dreams for this day.

Quite a few people around me tell me they don’t care at all about the day of love. I don’t agree because it’s too good an opportunity for at least a romantic candle light dinner. Love and being loved for just who you are is a very precious thing, so never too many opportunities to celebrate.

Speaking for myself, I don’t take it for granted there is somebody who can stand me and all my crazy clutter. Somebody who doesn’t mind me being a hopeless fashion victim and encourages me to not be the nice girl from next door, just because that’s not who I am.

Do you already have plans for Valentine’s Day and what are your perfect pieces for the day of love?

Autumn Magic with La Redoute

28th September 2014 3 Comments

Bubblegum Coat – Burgundy Top – Lace Skirt
Sequin Bag – Pompom Shoes

Let’s talk about the magic of autumn! Even if you dream of deleting every season except summer from your calendar (just as I do), you have to admit: There is a certain beauty about autumn. No matter how hard we cling to show a bare midriff and leave the house with naked legs, there comes a time when everything on a girl’s mind is to snuggle into a cosy coat. While the leaves fall, the desire for something cosy grows and the need for a perfect autumn look awakes.

So when I was asked by La Redoute Switzerland to style a chic & stylish autumn look, I accepted the challenge. Some of you tell me that they wouldn’t dare to wear most of my looks, so I tried to keep this look very wearable to inspire all of you.

The key piece of my look is the coolest bubblegum coat ever. It’s is a true investment piece and turns every outfit into an eye-catcher. If I could buy just one piece for autumn, it would be this wool coat. It is designed by Jacquemus, a rising star in the world of French fashion. I’ll keep an eye on this label and think this is your chance to buy a true designer piece to a reasonable price.

Since all fashion magazines declare that grey is the colour of the season, this lace skirt is a good choice to go with the dream coat. Nonetheless, I think the city needs some colour, and that’s why I suggest adding berry shades, like this casual top. Everything else you need is a touch of glamour provided by the sequin clutch, and there is no way to avoid these pompom shoes. They don’t only fit perfectly to the top, but they make girls awe.

There you go – the cutest autumn look in the city is ready!

All items of this look are available at La Redoute. Better hurry, it’s already getting colder!
