Fall Aztec Shorts The Bohemian Way

 Vest: C&A; Shorts: Zara; Top: Promod; Clutch: Asos; Flats; Bibi Lou; Belt; Zara; Hat: H&M


We had a golden October so far, the temperatures were in the 20's C in Germany, so it was a good oportunity to wear my new Zara Shorts without tights. The Color scheme is so pretty and fallish in it, so all neutral colors would be a great fit when it comes to the tops.


Have a great rest of the week!

TREND TROTTING THURSDAY- ANIMAL PRINT

Dress & Jacket & Hat: H&M; Bag:  Phillip Lim; Kitten Heels: Görtz 17; Scarf; Brigitte Bijou old

Unlike most fashion trends that go in and out of style,  animal print seems to be one that has stayed for the longest. It is no more reserved for the elite, but has now emerged as an every woman's closet staple. Not in abundance, but at least one clothing piece, jacket, scarf, top or shoes to name a few, in this print is sure to be found in every fashion savvy female's closet . It is one of those pick-me-up pieces, that can go from desk to dinner in no time. Think of animal print as a classic neutral and pair it with bright solids,like orange, reds and greens. Limit your print to one single kind and use that to your advantage. It is an eye-catching print, so be wise in choosing the part of your body to don with this print. If you know your legs are your strong point then use this print to play your best feature. If animal print is not your thing, take baby steps with

accessories like animal print shoes, or a dainty clutch in feline prints. With the endless options out there, you are sure to find something that works best for you.

Today saumya from Myriad Musings and  I have partnered together to show you dual ways of wearing this bold print.
If you are looking for a more office appropriate ensemble, an animal print dress in a subtle zebra print with conservative colors in black and white under a structured coat is your go-to. Finish off the look with a cute scarf and a classy pair of kitten heels.

Feeling experimental, wear a python print jacket (the 'IT' fall print ) over a monochromatic outfit, like Saumya did. Doesn't it look so refreshing against the mint color and checked blouse?

Need more outfit ideas ?? Check this look Saumya did recently on her blog.

I hope you got some ideas and make sure to check out my posts in the future, some serious leopard print will be on heavy rotation for sure :-)

Are you in serious love with animal print this season?

Have a great long weekend, I have one for sure, visiting my parents right now in Bielefeld and celebrating German Unification Day  tomorrow with a nice brunch with my girls.

aztec print for fall

Blazer: Mango; Shirt: Pepe Jeans: old; Skirt: Pimkie; Necklace: Zara old; Bag; Asos; Espadrilles: Steve Madden similar

Mixing key pieces like this white off blazer with trendy items like this super fun mini aztec skirt is my go to fall look. I kept everything simple and aimed for a more casual look around it. This pictures were taken on our road trip to Prague in  the international hotel Prague, where we splurged ourselves for 3 nights. As we did a lot of sightseeing, comfy shoes were a high priority to keep up the looooooooong walking periods. Mission accomplished with a comfy yet chic outfit. OH and the skirt was only 13€, love bargains like that. The print and burgundy color drew my attention to it, when I saw it on the hanger. It will be on high rotations for sure in this upcoming season. I totally see it paired with a comfy knitted oversized sweater or cardigan and some boots :-)
I also get often asked how I do my hair, hmm it's wavy by nature and I don't put any styling stuff in it, as I have thick and heavy hair anyways I feel products intensify the heavy effect even more. I usually put the side parts away with a clipper, can't stand it when its flying around on my face. Pretty easy and takes less than 30 seconds. I don't have patience with my hair and that's the most quickest hair style to go for me. In general I am done in 15 minutes with the whole styling, pretty simple gal in that matter :-)

Fit for Life- Fitnessfashion @MPG @Marika

Shoes: sold out but similar Nikes; Pants: MPG; Top; Marika similar

Living and feeling a healthy lifestyle was my biggest goal for this year resolution. This means drinking at least 2-3 liter  of water as it has so many beneficials for your body. Everyday I press one lemon and mix it in my water of bottle for that extra flavor and vitamin c kick.
I distanced myself from preserved food and started buying more local fruits and vegetable.
Most of all it was super important for me to be more active as I have an office job and sit at least 8 hours a day. I integrated workouts at the gym in my everyday life and made it a habit. Every day or at last 3 times a week I spend my lunch break at the gym, as it is only 5 minutes away from my office. I always felt so super tired around 1 PM and this really keeps my blood flowing and I felt so refreshed and great after my working out session.

Don't get me wrong I was active last year as well but not as regular and my priorities were cardio training.
Thanks of my athletic boyfriend he pointed out that strength training is at least as important as cardio to build up my muscle structure and burn more fat in the long term. Short story long I changed up my training by warming up 10 minutes on the eliptical followed by strength training workouts. Each session  I focus on another muscle group. Monday is leg and butt day, tuesday I do my back and abs, wednesday is shoulder and trizeps day.  It's so important to throw in days of rest so your muscles have time to recover and get stronger. After strength training I go back to the cardio training again for 20-30 minutes. I always stretch before I start with the machines though, so that my muscle get warmed up and I don't injure myself.

I can't tell you guys, but this change made such a huge difference. Of course I didn't loose weight (which wasn't my goal in the first place) as I build up muscles but my structure improved and I am toned which makes you look fitter and thinner as well. So many people told me that I have lost so much weight and I told them that I did not but just are more toned now.
Not only did the outward appearance changed but my migraine attacks cut back as well plus my skin ( I do have acne) looks so much better now too.

Working out on a daily basis became my lifestyle and I couldn't imagine a day not being active anymore.  For a fashionista like me it naturally is so much more fun when you have gym clothes that are not just baggy and boring but kinda motivate you to look great while you are sweating. There is nothing like cute work out wear to give your that extra motivation.

I love purchasing fun colored looking tops and sneakers. My favorite go to brand is from Marika. Love the price performance ratio, the quality is just great and the clothes just hit my curves at the right place.

I came across MPG Mondeta Performance Gear workout clothes last year and ever since I just purchase my leggings and working out pants there. They fit like a glove and usually persuade with unique stylish details. Those pants above with the stripes around the hips and ankles are the perfect fun finish touch.  When I did a lot of travelling this year, I only wore those pants and my bf was like "You are wearing now on day 4th- UPS, sorry, they are just so comfy and stylish at the same time, I can't help it.
I also bought some sweaters from that brand that I am not only wearing to work out but also wear in my every day life to give a chic ensemble a sporty casual touch.

My boyfriend got me those nikes for my birthday which I am obsessed with.

I hope you enjoy the pictures that has been taking in my gym.

Have you sticked to your new years resolution? What are your favorite work outs you swear out?
