Get red right + Friday's Fab Favorites Link up

Skirt: H&M; Heels: Zara similar; Blazer: H&M; Top: Bershka; Clutch; Italian handmade leather designer clutch: Scarf: Burberry; Belt: Luis Vuitton; Sunnies: Esprit; Bracelet: Tasha

If you have followed the runways of Paris and Milan for fall 2013, you probably noticed that red is pretty dominant represented and the color of the season. I am channeling Chris de Burgh and opted for a "Lady in red"  head-to-toe ensemble. I have always loved the fiery hue as it flatters my complexion.

Key - not to look to obvious - is to play with different textures when combining red in a tone-on-tone Outfit. The scarf with it's  pattern is adding a neutral note and change to this look.

O Camisole mio

Blazer: Mango (new collection); Camisole: H&M (new collection); Pants: asos; Necklace: Zara (birthday gift from my love); Heels: Shoe Dazzle; Ring: Boutique in Serbia; Italian Leather Designer Bag by Carbotti

If you are looking for great valuable classic leather bags and statement necklaces- Italy should be your shopping destination. We have spent 6 days in a wonderful wellness hotel at the adriatic coast near Rimini and San Marino in Bertinoro. If you ever have the chance visiting Italy, San Marino is a must see which claims to be the oldest surviving sovereign state and constitutional republic in the world. It presents great shopping locations and bargains thanks to a lighter tax burden which can't  be missed by fashionistas. Two Outlets and two Shopping Centers as well as hundreds of tasteful shop-windows sprinkled throughout the nine Municipalities. I found this great handicraft leather designer bag there and was in love with the chanelesque design. The quality absolutely exceeds my expectations and is under my top favourite bags now.

I will share some pictures of the nice sightseeing spots in Italy later if you are interested in.

We have been alot of travelling since my boyfriend is here for visiting- Paris, Amsterdam, Serbia, Bielefeld (hometown west in Germany). We also did a quick and spontaneous travel to Maastricht in the Netherlands before we took off for Italy. What a cute beautiful city with lots of nice historical spots and AGAIN paradise for shopping addicts like me. I purchased this black camisole there which is perfect for hot summer days. The design is pretty loose with thin spaghetti straps and was just the right top for the Mediterranean weather.

White Monochrome with Mango

Blazer: Mango new fall collection: Dress : asos; Necklace: Zara (new); Belt + Clutch: Asos; Heels: Nine West; White Nail polish: OPI

My man took me out for a nice seafood dinner for my birthday at the Ocean in Cervia (Italy). Spending most of the day working on my tan, I thought a white ensemble will pay off the sweating and sunburn. I was hunting for the perfect fitting blazer for over 2 years now, thanks to the new Mango fall collection the searching has an end. The material is pretty thick so it doesn't wrinkle that quickly as those lighter summer version ones that are most of the part see through. Plus to the stretchy fabric it hugs my body perfectly. I haven't found it online yet but bought it like 2 weeks ago in one of the Mango stores in Maastricht. As soon as I find the link, I will add it to the description. Eric gifted me this beautiful statement necklace, doesn't it add so much glamour to the whole ensemble? I was so excited when I found out that the stones in the belt matches the one in the necklace. It was also very difficult finding a white dress, that doesn't show your underwear and fitting nicely. That asos dress fullfill all those critera. Wish the yellow version wasn't sold out. What a darling classic summer dress.  I felt I had the perfect birthday dinner look.

True Love - The Notebook

Today's post is a little bit different....
Because of him I feel complete and being content and happy in my heart. With him I shine even more and  look even prettier in this beautifull dress.
Do y'all know the great love story of Noah & Allie in the Notebook? This is exactly what our love is like!

“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook 

I love him for his warmhearted smiles and pretty blue eyes....

 I love when he dances with me at totally awkward places...

 

I love when we have a good time together and he laughs about my goofiness...

 I love that he makes this "turtle move" in order to kiss me because I am soo small...

 I love beeing free as a bird when I am with him...

 I love standing by him...

 I love when he looks at me like that...

 Grrr he drives me nuts when he tickles me but he loves how I laugh out loud

 Because of me he has his sixpack... ;-)

 I love when he makes this facial expression, means he is thinking about sth. ["when do I get tf out of here taking pictures and have a beer"]

 I love when he helps me down because I was climping a 2 meter wall with 4 inch heels to take pictures...

 and can't make it myself.....

 

Looking in his blue eyes connects me to his beautiful soul...

Here is an abstract of my favourite movie:

Cut out Dress +guest blogging at junkindiggingettinlost

Dress: Asos ;Sandals: Marco Tozzi; Bag: Asos

My beautiful vintage queen blogger friend Krista from junkindiggingettinlost is on vacation with her man, in the meantime I take over and show you one of my favourite purchases recently as a guest blogger. For those who don't know her blog, she is a fashion blogger with such a unique vintage flair. She is def my daily reads and I am always so excited what she comes up next. You also find her backstage as a stylist making country singer looking very special for their music videos and photo shoots. If you missed her on my series an-old-flame-never-dies-series-, you should def check it out. She is a must read for everybody, so stop by and show her some love, she will highly appreciate it!

In those really hot summer days I tend to reach for  lightweight fabrics like this maxi dress.

What really caught my attention was the unique Cut-out detail to the front  and v-neckline with wide-set straps. The high waist fluid skirt with soft pleat detail is super flattering and gives a nice silhouette.
If you are looking for a maxi dress with nice detailing- this is the right choice!

Make sure to check out my post on her blog to see more of this outfit!

Thanks love for having me on your blog today and I really hope to meet you in person one day, we nearly did! :-)

birthday pink leather skater skirt

 skirt: Asos; Bag: Asos; Heels: Shoe Dazzle; Blouse: Zara (old); Watch: Swarovsky

While you are reading this post, I am celebrating my birthday tomorrow in Italy at the Adriatic coast with my man and having some nice days before he goes back to the states. I love being away from home during my birthday because its less stressful baking all those cakes for your guests.

I love this playful romantic ensemble with the leather skater skirt and that ruffled blouse that I had for years now. I was pretty hesitating getting this skirt at first as it was pretty pricey but I just loved the cut and that rich pink so much, I couldn't resist. If you wanna know how to design this beautiful skirt yourself, dulce candy shows a great diy video. It does not look that difficult at all. Maybe you wanna give it a try in order not to spend too much on it :-)

Another trend I love right now are white fingernails, they look amazing especially when the sun kissed your skin.

Have a great start in the week. I will be back by the middle of next week!

Eve of wedding evening party look

Blazer: H&M; Shorts: Mango; Clutch: Asos; Heels: Asos; Necklace: F21

One of my university girl friends got married coupleweeks ago in Gütersloh. A week before the wedding, she did a traditional german eve of wedding evening party (Polterabend). I wanted to be comfortable yet chic pulled together. A short blazer suit does that to me and is the to go outfit for not so formal occasions. Of course the weather in my hometown Bielefeld was crappy, so tights saved me from brrrrr freezing :-)
