Modern Monochrome/Via Uno Pumps







 
Faux leather skirt: asos; Blouse: Koton; Belt and Bag: Asos; Pumps: Via Uno similar; Ring: Present

Do you love monochromatic dressing? They are a huge trend this season and can be easily created with the basic items you have in your closet. Just look for  pieces that are in the same colour family. 

One way to keep your style chic and simple is to mix and match different textures and pattern . It can be as I did on this look  in black and white and throw in some gold accessories (for an extra portion of glamour) or using a different monochrome palette. It doesn't have to be bold. I was playing with different textures as leather, silk and some ruffles and bows for some touch of girlyness.
Usually I like to bring some splash of colour in the monochrome game  to lift it but not today. I wanted to keep it crisp clean and timeless with just black and white.

I have those super cute bow pumps by Via Uno in beige and black. I love their clean and classic feminine designs . Not only are they super comfortable but so affordable too. Do you wear Via Uno?

PS: If you click on asos to see the white leather skirt , you will see a Model who is 1.80 m and rock this skirt like a pro. When I tried this skirt on  it was probably 10 cm under my knees and became a midi skirt, which looks horrible on my figure with 1.66m. SOOOO I pulled the skirt up to nearly my breast so that its hitting my knees, I guess that works . I felt like the sister of Steve Urkel, just needed my suspenders :-D

striped pleated skater skirt with a pop of yellow and orange





 



 skirt: asos on sale now ; jacket: orsay; blouse: f21; clutch: asos  last seen here; heels: Zara: lipstick: covergirl 350 eternal


Full pleated swing skirts look super flattering on women with curves, especially when they have wide hips. I was trying some maxi skirts on and just looked ridiculous, they are just not made for my figure.  For some reason that don't cont for maxi dresses, they hug my body pretty nicely :-)
So knowing what fits best to my feminine body shape, I tend to grab for skater dresses/skirts with cute pattern like this striped one. I paired it with my lovely ruffled blouse that I got from my by last christmas and ruffled heels for that playful finish. The leather looking jacket with its gold detailing gives it the perfect edgy vibe. I really like the black and white trend but only with a pop of colour so the orange and yellow was exactly the right amount!

3 Countries, 3 Wedding Guest Looks


Dress: asos; hidden heels: Via Uno, clutch: asos; ring; pilgrim









Wedding season is in its fullest bloom, so many people I know from university, coworkers and even friends are getting married right now, besides the Baby Boom. So I was super excited to team up with my beautiful and stylish blogger friends Jenny from crazystylelove and Rita from  coastwithme  to show you some idea how to get dressed for attending a wedding. Make sure to check out their posts as well!

That grecian collar maxi dress stole my heart from the moment I saw it on asos while I was looking for a great dress for my best friends wedding, it was truly love at first sight. Of course it was sold out in my size, so I stalked the homepage for that dress probably like 10 times a day to check if it is available in my size. Being persistent pays off most of the time, so now I can be the goddess for that empire dress and it feels great ;-).
Are there many wedding celebration going on around your right now? What is your favourite guest look?

Thanks girls for that fun teaming up! You both looked divine in those bright colours and just love the versatility of the different styles! Love ya!

metallic elements





Baroque pattern was the trend in the winter season. I 'd still love to wear it and make a transition to spring by combining it with my gold sandals and my favourite sheer light orange blouse. Have a great start in the week!

Linking up with my beautiful Elena today!

I am back from my travels to Paris and Amsterdam, what can I say, we had such a blast in the city of love, needless to say I need new feet and shoes from all that walking hahaha.
While we drove from my hometown Bielefeld to Amsterdam by car we listened to the great new song of Daft Punk "get lucky". Isn't it just so funky contagious, gotta love it. As for my outfit, I love to be chic yet comfy in the summer. A good pair of shots paired with a blazer does that to me. Have a great hump day!

Boyfriend Jeans

 Boyfriend Jeans: Zara; Pumps: Zara; Clutch: H&M; Buton up: JCrew; Patch Blazer: C&A; Sunnies: Esprit; Necklace: F21; Bracelet: Tasha


When I run errands I like to be comftable yet chic. Boyfriend jeans paired with a patched blazer and some nice heels are my go to uniform. I really like the coloured patches that peeks through the jeans, are they not fun? Cant wait to wear them with strappy sandals and just a plain top in the summer. Speaking of summer, it's supposed to snow rain here by friday.
Dear weather god, my boyfriend comes to visit me from Atlanta, USA  in 3 days where its really nice right now, do you really want him to freeze his butt off in Germany?

Outfit under 100€ in Floral mint & orange

Blazer: H&M; Sweater: Orsay; Pants: local Boutique; Heels: Zara
When I discovered  these pants in its beautiful and cheerfull colours I was falling in love immediately. When I saw the price for 15 Euro I was totally thrilled. I build my look around these floral jeans and decided for a more casual wide neon orange sweater and to give it a feminine touch with the peplum blazer. Usually my pants are way too long ( I am not too short!!! ;-)..), so I cropped them to make them 7/8 summerlike.

PS: Only 5 times sleeping and then I can pick up my honey from the zürich airport. Haven't seen him since January :-) *clapping*

Peplum 3 in1 Remix

Peplum: VJ Style (recent); Dress: Marshalls (old); Pumps: Deichmann; Necklace: H&M; Bag: Orsay; Sunnies: Esprit

Shorts: H&M; Pumps: Zara (recent)

Skinny Jeans: Asos; Pumps; NineWest; Belt; H&M; Bag: Chanel
I saw it, I purchased it, I wore it in 3 ways. Usually before I put an item in my shopping bag, I visualize how it matches with the rest of my clothes in the closet. Here is just an example to wear this high low peplum with a skirt/dress, jeans and shorts. The two other versions will be shown in the next post.
Are you wearing the items you buy just with the same items or do you experiment?
