grid print midi skirt

Midi skirt: Asos: Sweater: H&M; Booties: Nine West, Hat: H&M, Necklace: F21, Bag: romwoman

One of my favorite trends right now is the grid print. Something seems so classic, clean and timeless about this simple yet bold graphic. So of course I had to get this midi skirt (another huge trend I embrace). Panels of contrast windowpane plaid add graphic interest to a Minimalist rich burgundy knit Sweater. It makes such a perfect fall look, that will def be on heavy rotation the next time.

I just got back from visiting my hometown Bielefeld. It was just a fabulous long 4 days weekend, seeing my family, my friends and my godson Erik who I am so in love with already. He totally made my heart melt when I hold him, he is such an angel and did not cry at all :-). Oh and I was so tired of my long hair, so I cut it to a short bob. Pictures will be postet soon :-) Have a great start in the week!

Monday Bloom link up on Macaroon Shades

Ani...... Elena...... Sofia

Fall finally arrived in Germany, so I am ready to put all my neutrals out and playing with different textures to add interest.Pastely are making a surprising Statement for fall. I am balancing out the soft rose hue of my blazer and the sling pumps with the great autumnal cognac color leather pants. While my sweet Elena opted for a ladylike pastel Dress and Sofia for an Office chic Ensemble, I decided for a more casual chic Option. The Pants add just the right amount of edge to this classic blazer and instantly make the look cooler with a casual white tee.

Blazer & Tee: Zara, Pants: NewYork & Company loving those similar, Sling Pumps: Italian Designer, clutch: Asos, Necklace: See Jewelry

Cobalt against golden field

Sweater: Romwomen also available at Asos; Shorts: Asos; Heels: Zara; Bow Belt: Asos

Surrounded by golden fields  where I live, it was clear to take the chance- now that the farmer cut off the corn- to take some nice contrasting pictures of my red/blue look. Shorts in all their difference appearance when it comes to textures, pattern and color can be worn all season long- in my opinion anyways. However I love wearing them the best in the fall/winter time with tights and boots.

I caught the last warm sunny evening two weeks ago to wear my new ovoid textured shorts. The material is so thick and unique, perfect for the upcoming chilly days. It would have been too elegant when I would have paired it with a white silky blouse, so I wanted to give it a playful touch with this striped sweater and heart elbow patches. It's so super sweet that I got in navy blue as well :-)

PS: It was such a challenge to get up to those 2m  hay bailes, let me tell you. Being up there, it was such a shaky affair. The things I take on for my blog ;-)

Have a great start in the week!

PS: Don't Forget that the theme for our next Monday Bloom is "Delicate Pastels".
Save September 30th and join our Month Challenge. Remember that is has to be a new post!

Silk vs.Leather

Trench Coat: Zara similar here or here ; Leather Pants: New York & Company similar from H&M; Top: Zara (old); Heels: Via Uno; Bag: Michael Kors; Sunnies: Esprit

I am shielding against the elements in style with my classic Zara twill trench coat. Wearing it cinched at the waist with leather Pants and metallic heels for an elegant yet edgy Approach. I totally love the contrast between silk and leather which causes a glossy finish.

The belted piece can be worn cinched at the waist or left open for a more relaxed take, whatever you feel like.

Nothing is as classic as a trench coat that will transition seamlessly from summer to fall.

PS: I am a happy and proud auntie now. My godson Erik was born yesterday *so excited to meet this little bundle of joy in a couple of weeks*

Camo tomboy chic + wedding guest attire winner

Necklace: Zara; Blouse and Sweater: H&M; Blazer: Zara;  Pants: C&A; Peep Toes: Gabor; Bag: Italian Leather Designer Bag by Carbotti

I got inspired to create this tomboy chic look by Jenna Lyons, the creative director of J. Crew. Her significant style is :

• Wearing opposites like feminine/masculine.

• Mixing up textures like wearing sweater with silk

• Wearing statement jewelry

I added a luxe touch to my camo pants by topping it with my favourite jewel Statement necklace and a white silk button up.  Camo pattern paired with elegant black basics like a blazer or pumps looks serious. A classic way to be dressed to have dinner with friends or the man's friend.

Don't you think Jenna is a great style Icon?

Announcement of the wedding guest attire winner:
