When time is rare during the week and you haven´t been shopping in a while a sunday

 shopping tour seems quite attractive to reload your batteries and treat yourself a bit. 

So I took the chance last sunday and went for a tiny shopping stroll on Kudamm. 

I haven´t been to H&M in a while and haven´t had time to take a sneak peek 

at the new launched beauty range yet. The cute little face masks attracted 

my attention as well as a navy blue peacoat of their trend collection. 

Followed by a short stop at H&M´s little sister Cos, where I couldn´t leave

 these perfect black Chealsea boots behind. I wore this combination 

almost every day ever since,  so the investments has been already worthwile.

Can´t wait to try the face masks!

Wishful Thinking

I can´t believe that I´ve moved to my apartment over a year ago and 

some corners are still not finished yet. But I geuess you know this situation 

and probably you´ll never get finished. 

For some inspiration I did virtual window shopping yesterday and discovered 

loads of pretty little things, which would be really welcome to move in:

1. Bloomingville Hanging Plant Pots 

2. Anthropologie Pom Pom Basket 

3. Lola James Harper Scented Candle

4. Broste Copenhagen Framed Fern Print 

  5. Bolia Green Marble Plate 

6. Anthropologie Rabbit Hook 

7. Hay Concrete Plant Pots  

8. Anthropologie Curious Creatures Calender

9. H&M Linen Bedclothes

Wishful Thinking

Of course, I´ve gathered again some really nice pieces, 

which just won´t go out of my mind over the past few months, 

but anyhow never reached my shopping bags yet. 

The reason for that is mostly the price, sometimes the question of necessity 

and sometimes I just don´t know. When I see them all now, 

I want them even more because they´d go so good together!

Do you know this phenomena? I just know, if you can´t get something 

really out of your mind for more than half a year, then it´s worth the bargain.

Here is my little list of 10:

1. Totême Cashmere Shirt

2. H&M Straw Hat

3. Valia Gabriel Leather Sandals

4. Kevin Aucoin The Creamy Glow

5. H&M Silk Jumpsuit

6. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Pillowtalk

7. H&M Fringed Shorts

8. Narciso Rodriguez Eau de Parfum

9. This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

10. Cos Leather Zip Purse

What´s in my beach bag

It´s beach time - first time this year and that is what I am going to pack. 

My Cos bikini bottom and top, Birkenstock sandals, Ace & Tate sunnies and H&M straw hat 

(and of course sun protection and a bottle of water as well!). 

Enjoy this great day!

Current Favourites

Do you know this feeling when you buy something and want to wear it immediately 

but the weather is just not warm enough? 

My anticipation has thus become ever greater week after week and now

it is finally warm enough to take these black beauties out for a walk.

Mother´s Day Reminder

Just a little reminder for those of you, who are a bit oblivious.

This sunday is Mother´s Day!

Even if your mother expects nothing at all of you, it would be a nice little gesture

to buy a small bunch of flowers and say thank you for all she did for you.

If you want to buy a further small gift there are some nice ideas I´ve gathered above,

which conjures a smile on your mother´s face for sure.

Wishful thinking: Beach

It´s not that far until we are able to wear these kind of outfits again.

I mean without tights, without jackets and scarves - just a pretty touch of cloth and

a bikini underneath, some nice accessories and nothing else.

I really miss the warm sun beams, which I gonna damn for sure

when the temperatures top 30 degrees. 

For now, it couldn´t be warmer in my opinion.

This outfit is going to be my summer uniform:

On my mind

These few beauty pieces are still on my mind... 

Now, when nature begins to reawaken, I´d wish them to be mine even more - 

they would be the perfect companions through this cheerful season.

Here is my list and hopefully I can call some of these things mine soon.

H&M Linen bathrobe / Zoeva Concealer Buffer / Bobbi Brown Concealer & Corrector Kit /

You can´t believe how happy this hat makes me.

I wanted a straw hat for so long but I´ve never found one, 

which looked nice and was affordable at the same time. 

This beauty was just €13 and is from H&M, which makes it

 easy for you to get one as well, if you´re up to.

Summer can come or at least the sun!

Summer Essentials

These are the only things you need for a relaxed day on the pool.

I regret a bit not buying these striped Acne shorts in Sale.

I love shorts in summertime even more than dresses and this one is so sailor´s like and perfect for the beach.

Just combined with a bikini top, sandals, sunnies and a cool straw hat, who protects you from the hot sun beams.

To complete the protection program I´ve chosen the sun line of Clarins.

The sun oil with 30 UVA/UVB protection supports the bronzing process and prevent a sunburn.

And after an extensive sunbath it needs nothing more that the After-Sun-Lotion and a cool drink.

New in: Summer pieces

What´s better to do on a rainy Saturday than spending some money for summer items,

which can be hopefully used soon.

Currently, I´m totally in the mood of oversized shirts.

This white/blue checked shirt goes perfectly together with my new white sandals.

I searched for white sandals some time now and finally made a find at H&M.

To my way of thinking the summer can come and maybe the wish comes true.

According to the weather report it should be up to 29 degrees on Thursday!

New in: 5 little things

There are a few things I´ve added to my wardrobe the last time.

This is a little overview of these things plus the latest Gentlewoman magazine,

which has developed to one of my favorites concerning editorial and photo series. 

Amazing women in an amazing print magazine, my new navy Cos sweater,

my new Zara loafers, my pyjama-like shorts for summer (H&M) an the bronze ring by Cos are mine now!

H&M Conscious

During my school time I was a big fan of the Swedish fashion brand H&M, which was maybe down to the fact,

that in my home town H&M was the only store which offered lot of fashionable young fashion to good prices for a pupil,

but with my advancing age my style changed a bit and my demands grew up. 

H&M faded into the background and their associated company Cos came into my field of interest. 

All the more surprisingly, the latest collction from H&M Conscious Line, which really let my heart beats faster.

Beautiful pieces with liability to high fashion design. You can see the higher quality and great cuts.

H&M has chosen the pretty Andreea Diaconu for this campaign and made a really good choice,

also with the industry setting, which gives the whole a rougher and

more serious mood off from commercial high fashion campaigns.

Day Crush: Bootcut à la Pernille Teisbæk

Wanted for a long time but now finally back; flared trousers or better known as bootcut.

Myself, never thought about a revival of flared jeans. Too bad are the memories of bad-styled 90ies versions.

But Danish blogger Pernille brought back these controversial pieces into my focus and she got me.

I´ve just bought a pair of flared trousers after long considerations with myself.

I´m not sure if the public is ready yet for the revival but I´m definitely ready for it.

I discovered these trousers on H&M webshop and for this price I couldn´t resist.

I like them but what do you think? 

Do or don´t?

New in: Sale treasures

pictures by me

Sale got me and that is what turned out.

My poor boyfriend had to spend hours of hours strolling through the masses of people, who were on search of the ultimate Sale bargain just like me.

In my shopping bag landed a lot of Cos stuff, what´s a surprise!

The silky wide-leg trouser was on my wishlist for a long time and with 50 percent discount I couldn´t resist.

The simple grey sweater on the other hand was a random found just like this super nice filigree bracelet.

Scarf, turtleneck top and face oil were not on sale unfortunately but landed in my shopping bag as well.

 I´m really happy with my new treasures!

Did you already started Sale shopping and what landed in your bag?

New in: Paris Trip

 

 
I brought so much nice stuff with me from Paris.
Here is my selection; a lot of Autumn/Winter pieces
like a cozy sweater from Cos and the perfect woolen coat, I´ve already introduced you.
Also in my shopping landed, a simple white men´s shirt to dress up simple sweaters as I bought.
At Merci I made a find with a vintage lace shopping bag,
Aesop Lip Balm and Controler, a light pink dishtowel, as well pen and
sharpener from the swiss brand Caran d´Ache as you may know.
With these few thinks my winter wardrobe is already well prepared now!

Weekend Outfit

I´m looking forward to less stressful weekends without huge To-do lists.

But anyway, I´m always happy when I loot at my list Sunday evening and see what I´ve managed successfully.

With all the stress, also during the week, I still find the time to pay a visit to my favorite store Cos.

There I couldn´t resist to buy these amazing woolen pants, I had a long inner conflict, but at the end, I must have it.

For autumn and winter time there is nothing more useful than a woolen trouser,

it keeps you so warm and let you feel comfy all day long.

Wearing pants, sweater and coat from Cos, scarf from H&M and sneakers from New Balance.

New in

These few pieces were just added to my belongings.

Black woolen suit from Cos will be my habitually companion this autumn and winter season,

just like the light grey scarf from H&M.

These beautiful cut glasses I´ve found in a tiny adorable vintage store in Berlin Mitte last saturday and

this super cool lamp I´ve bought via ebay, also a holdover from the DDR.

So lovely pieces, which are mine now, yay! 

Winter Coats: Pouder Shades

picture taken from cover.dk

The time is already come, where I´m thinking about a new winter coat.

Last year, I´ve bought a really classy black model from Cos and I´m still so happy with my choice.

The reason why I´m thinking about a new one, is the variety of new pastel/pouder colours, which on the market now!

I would love to have such a bright coloured coat, like in the example picture of Elin Kling above, for the winter season.

I browsed through several online shops and selected my favorites coats for you.

Which should I go for?
