Makeover

Last weekend was pretty productive!

We took the free time to approach a long delayed project  - painting our living room.

This anthracite wall turned out and I´m totally satisfied with this decision.

I think, it breathes new life into our living room. 

Top 9 Sunglasses

I love this time of the year when I can get my sunglasses out again after a long time of absence.

I already got a new pair this year but the range of pretty shades is just too tempting.

Therefore I´ve gathered my favourite pieces from this season. 

Do you have this thing with sunglasses, too?

I still can´t believe that Spring has finally arrived.

Life feels so much better now, don´t you think?

This Filippa K Kaftan dress is the ultimate look when temperatures go up a bit higher.

I love easy pieces like this, which I just need to throw over to look good.

Get it here.

Last week I´ve accomplished myself my desire of a comfy white sneaker

with these classic Authentic Vans, which I wore ever since the day I´ve bought them.

I had to make the decision between classic white Converse  or classic white Vans and

obviously went for the latter as I think they suit me better.

Whether combined with jeans or a dress, I like to wear them with everything I have.

You can get them here, if you like.

A hint of colour

Usually, I´m a quite monochrome kind of person when it comes to interior and fashion.

I don´t know what happened lately, but for some reason

I constantly have the yen to add more colours into my life.

Cushions are always an easy way to change the look of your room slightly and

the first thing I keep watching when I need a change.

That is what I did and look how pretty brightly coloured cushions I have found online.

From the upper left corner to the bottom right corner:

Vanessa by Josh Olins for WSJ April 2015

At the moment I´m totally into beach stories like this one photographed by Josh Olins.

There is something really special about them and immediately arouse 

my wanderlust to places like these. Model Vanessa is styled by Clare Richardson 

in beautiful unexcidetly fabrics, which underline perfectly the naturalness

 of herself as a human not only as model.

Cos Lookbook Autumn/Winter 2015

Finally, Cos launched its Autumn/Winter 2015 Lookbook and

as expected I can find one favourite after another.

The East Asian influences are in evidence in dealing with loose fit silhouettes and proportions.

I can imagine, that this use of forms is not everybody´s cup of tea but

it definitely brings an interesting new tendency into Cos´straight design philosophy. 

The monochrome colour palette is complemented by dark forestry green,

rust red and lighter and darker blue shades. 

I already cast an eye at these ridiculously gorgeous chelsea boots,

which are still missing in my wardrobe and there are more pieces,

which are definitely in line for Autumn time but for now, we enjoy the upcoming Spring season! 

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:

Hat Attack Raffia Hat / The Row Round-frame Sunglasses / H&M Flowing Dress /

Cos Ripple Bikini Top / Cos Ripple Bikini Bottom / Vans Authentic Sneaker /

I´m so thankful for these last few sunny days -  they were all I needed to look forward.

This Chloé dress came into my mind while laying in the sun. 

A girl can never own too many white summer dresses, right?

Especially when you look like a protagonist of Shakespear´s A Midsummer Night´s Dream.

Found a similar high street model at Zara here.

Sunday Inspiration

Malgosia is always worth a post. 

Enjoy this sunny sunday!

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 /

Rahua Voluminous Shampoo / Rahua Voluminous Conditioner / Byredo La Tulipe Perfume /

Chanel Le Blanc Base / Kiehl´s Damage Repairing & Rehydrating Leave-in Treatment

New in

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!

Saskia de Brauw for Interview Germany April 2015

This story featuring Saskia de Brauw fits perfectly to the current weather situation here in Germany.

But hey, why must it be always sunny and beautiful outside?

Annemarieke van Drimmelen created again a quite uncommon atmosphere in her pictures

like she has done it in most of her series before. That´s why, she is currently

one of my favourite contemporary fashion photographers. And that is just the quite before the storm...

Apropos Isabel Marant! I´ve stumpled across these flats yesterday at Zara,

which admittedly having a certain affinity with those Isabel Marant flats.

I still like the luxury version a lot but the price...

Zara´s version is maybe the answer of my secret request.

Do or don´t?  Get them here.
