Yes, I am still alive...

...but unfortunately I´ve been super busy with work the last couple of weeks. 

That´s why I decided to take a little break from blogging and to focus 

on my daily work business instead of doing both things by halves. 

Now, as time went by so quickly, I began to recognize how much I was missing my personal style diary lately. 

Every inspiration and new discovery I made was carefully stored in my head in the beginning but of course, 

they became too many and I realized that I need this website to create memories of my life and inspirational sources. 

Long story short, time permitting, I´m going to be more active again on this platform and

 I hope you´ll coming along again for some outfit ideas, interior inspirations, personal wishlists and much more.

Today, I wanted to share with you some of my holiday souvenirs from my short trip to Paris. 

It felt amazing being back in my favourite city of all time. Paris is truly my happy place. 

Whenever I feel uninspired or uncertain about the future or overwhelmed by everything,

 a couple of days in this city and everything seems less complicated. 

August is perhaps not the best month to visit a big city but we were really lucky and

 spend most of our days walking through the beautiful streets of Montmatre, Marais and 

Saint Germain des Prés, ate good food and did a little bit of shopping, of course.

My most exciting and also most pricy purchase are my new sunglasses from Céline. 

An item I wanted to add to my selection for a long time and Paris felt like the perfect place to buy them. 

While strolling through Marais I found a nice little Vintage shop and quickly went in 

and came back with a new bag from Longchamp. A totally unintentional purchase but a real bargain 

and I love a good black and brown leather bag. Somehow I´m really into hair clips at the moment. 

That´s why I couldn´t leave this one, which is also hand made in France. 

Last but not least (not really visible in the picture) I bought a pair of cure little star earrings, 

which I found quite parisian and cool to glam up a simple outift for the evening. 

Oh, and I payed my favourite parisian designer Isabel Marant a visit and bought a grey woolen fisherman´s cap, 

which I wanted to buy last season already. A piece I am so happy about as it wasn´t easy to find it in my hat size. 

Apparently, I have a really small head. Such being the case the smallest size was still too small and my hat

 is at a tailor right now to make it even smaller to fit my teeny tiny head. 

We brought home, of course, some delicious macarons (a must) but they are all gone by now.

Items mentioned:

Céline Cathrine Sunglasses / Longchamp vintage bag (similar) / Hair clip (similar) /

 &Other Stories Star Earrings / Isabel Marant Éoile Evie Hat

New in

Hello again! It´s been a while but let´s go on with one of my favourite things to do. 

Showing you my latest sale bargains and some new beauty bits and bobs. 

You know how much I love my Isabel Marant Étoile Patsha Boots in brown. 

As I mentioned in my Black Boots Selection post, I was thinking about getting the black ones as well and 

as you can see I did it. I may not have bought them if they weren´t on sale but it must be a sign

 that there was only one black pair left in my size on sale. I don´t feel guilty because I love these shoes

 so much in both colours and I hope I can wear them for a long long time. 

I feel more guilty about my two new sweaters because I know, that I already own a lot of lovely knitwear pieces. 

But every winter again I feel like I need more of them if I want to survive the coldness outside. 

In my defence I have to say that I neither have a blue sweater nor a black and white salt and pepper

 sweater and I now feel like being well equipped even I already keep an eye on two other non sale models. 

Beauty-wise I finally can tell the Laura Mercier Tinted Mousturizer my own, which was on my wishlist

 for such a long time. Along with that I bought another Diptyque Room Fragrance with a heavenly floral scent, 

which I´m going to use to feel a little more spring-like even if it´s freezing outside.

 Last but not least I got myself a new red lipstick. I´m so in love with this deep berry but still red colour, 

I wore every since almost every day during Christmas time. The perfect colour to go with my dark blue sweater. 

I´m not a hundred percent satisfied with the durability of this lipstick but anyways I love the finish of it.

Did you got anything from the sale or do you remain strong yet?

Sale Wishlist

Sale is going on right now and of course I had a little look around and 

put quite a selection of sale pieces straight on my wishlist. I´m so excited 

when it comes to sale season and I love a good bargain. Who doesn´t?

My favourite websites to shop high end clothing on sale are farfetch.com, matchesfashion.com, 

luisaviaroma.com, mytheresa.com and net-a-porter.com, which you all might already know. 

But you can make even better sale finds offline. From experience I know that tiny private boutiques 

often offer the best selection of sale pieces. So if you may have not to work yet and 

you are up to a bit of treasure hunting, the time is right. 

But be careful, there are a lot of great deals out there at the moment.

Cozy Christmas

Just one more sleep and it´s Christmas - yay! 

That means 3 following days with loads of delicious food and cozy times with your family on the sofa. 

I don´t know what about you but I prefer dressing comfy and casual these days. 

Hence Christmas jumpers are essentials during Christmas holidays. 

Easy to style with a skirt and tights for the ultimate comfort or even with an elegant trouser and heels.

As you can see, I´ve gathered my favourite five festive jumpers 

for those who haven´t got any yet and want to get one last minute.

What I would like wearing today

As I promised earlier this week the quietness on the blog has come to an end, finally.

 I´m really sorry for it but the past week was just crazy! To cut a long story short 

here I go with an obviously Autumn inspired look for grey and rainy days. 

The checked shirt and those Chelsea boots (both Cos, of course) are on the top of my wishlist at the moment. 

I can literally see myself wearing this exact outfit composed with pieces I already have in my wardrobe. 

Only a classic checked shirt and the perfect Chelsea boots are missing in my collection. 

Still a huge favourite of mine is the A.P.C. halfmoon bag because of its classic but unique design, 

which would last in my wardrobe for ages. Just a fun thing I´d like to try is the Byredo hair perfume in the scent Blanche. 

 I can really good imagine how practical it can be when you haven´t got enough time 

to take a shower in the morning but still want to leave the house like your hair was recently washed. 

For me a great alternative to conventional eau de perfumes as I spray them in my hair anyway. 

The combination reminds me a bit on taking a trip to a horse ranch for a relaxing ride through the woods, 

which I honestly would love to do again as I haven´t done this since I was a teenager. 

Of course I didn´t looked as cool as I´d do with this outfit but great memories though!

What I would like wearing today

As I was looking at the newest Spring Summer collection of Filippa K yesterday 

this brown leather dream from last seasons presentation came suddenly 

back into my mind and stays there ever since. Therefore I decided to create a full look 

out of this piece to bring the outfit ideas in my head on paper, or rather on screen.

 I could not do otherwise and created a classic, obviously seventies inspired look mixing brown and 

blue shades with silver hardware. The a-line skirt is key piece of the look and as it´s made of real lamb nappa 

it is understandably not really a bargain buy. But if you´re lucky enough to live in Sweden, 

close to Stockholm or Uppsala, you can benefit from Filippa K´s latest lease project, 

where you can rent pieces of the current collection for 20 percent of retail price for 4 days lease. 

A great project to encourage a more sustainable fashion consumption in times of mass production and fast fashion. 

I´d definitely make use of this possibility when it is going to be in Berlin anytime soon. 

What about you?

New in: Holiday Edition

When in holiday, of course, I also have to discover the small boutiques and shops of the city. 

For me, that´s part of a good city trip and I simply love to bring souvenirs and 

stuff with me at home that remind me on this trip whenever wearing or seeing them. 

Alongside cheese and a small clog key pendant I´ve brought these few pieces with me from Amsterdam.

How to wear white denim

White denim - a summery new arrival in my wardrobe.

Not always easy to combine, but when you know how to do it right,

a perfect companion through warmer seasons.

I´ve bought this Slim fit trouser at Cos the other day and absolutely love it.

Especially for smaller persons, like I am, the Slim Fit trousers from Cos are perfect!

I love to wear my white denims with navy blue or stripy tops.

This time I wanted to try another combination.

Black and white is already a perfect duo but combined with

a warm cognac brown it´s turning into a fresh, ethno-like summer look.

Day Crush

You might notice, I have a crush on white at the moment.

Étoile Isabel Marant let my heart beating faster with this white dream made from light cotton.

A real girl dream with ruffles and broderie anglaise right? 

The perfect choice for summer...
