Birthday Wishlist

As you might have guessed it already by the title - my birthday is not far anymore. 

It´s crazy how time flies but let us not complain! In the end we just gain on experiences and 

memories and get ourselves to know much better from year to year, right? Right!

I take the chance to share my current wishlist with you and maybe give inspiration to friends and 

family who does not have any idea by now. Some bigger, some smaller investments

 but I like when my friends pool money and buy something I really like and appreciate for years. 

Same I do with gifts for my friends and family.  

My motto for the upcoming year is going to be "dream big". 

Something I´ve learned about the past year and I definitely want to pursue. 

Because almost nothing is impossible, it´s all up to you.

I´ve added some new make up stuff to my beauty bag lately as you can see. 

I really enjoyed using every single bit and that´s why I wanted to show you today what I´ve got. 

When you have to kill one hour waiting at the airport it´s not that surprising 

when you come up with at least one new beauty product from the duty free, right?

 I decided for my very first Chanel blush in the colour Malice, which is a really nice peachy coral, 

which goes with almost everything and makes really healthy looking cheeks.

 I´ve also picked up an Essie nail polish in a deep cherry red the other day and it´s exactly this colour 

I was looking for and I wore almost every day ever since. The other two bits are from &Other Stories. 

It´s always so tempting in there, with all the pretty packagings. 

That´s probably the reason I came up with a cherry tinted lip balm in this cute little tin and the copper stick, 

which might look a bit strange at the beginning but is a real bargain because you not only get

 an eye colour but also a blush and lip colour as well. Thus you can create a total make up look out of one product, 

what I think is a really great concept.

Go and check it out if you´re now interested in these things 

I love so much at the moment or tell me what are your favourite pieces at the moment!

Diaries for 2016

Can you believe that it´s almost November already? The last few months went by so quickly for me.

If time continues to pass by that quick it´s definitely time think about a new diary for 2016

 before the best ones gone. Call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer analogue calenders to digitals

 for the simple reason that I can safe all my handwritten notes and dates from a whole year

 in one small book and keep it afterwards to look back whenever I want to know what I did back in 2015. 

Aside from that, of course, I like the process of choosing a pretty designed diary out of this huge choice of products:

Some of my favourites are already available:

1. Els & Nel Weekly Journal

2. Navucko Calender

3. MiGoals Hardcover Journal

4. Present & Correct Paperback Diary

5. Julie Joliat Agenda

Perfect Pair

I´m ready to start into a great new week! 

Today I really feel like wearing a grown up and autumnal look.

Tweet and burgundy seemed to me like the perfect combination for this theme. 

Combining two real classics with each other makes a look quite grown up in my opinion. 

To break this classic style a bit I´d rather combine a blue boyfriend jeans 

than a black tailored trouser but this is totally up to you and your preferences. 

But I´m interested - what would be your choice?

Olympia Campbell by Zoe Ghertner for WSJ Magazine October 2015

Today´s inspiration comes again from my current girl crush Zoe Ghertner. 

This girl knows how to capture a magic moment. And even the pictures don´t seem to be

 extraordinary at the first moment, for me, they are just perfect right down to the last detail. 

Every composition, from the setting to the model right up to the colours and the atmosphere, 

everything in her pictures is perfectly composed and makes me always feel highly inspired. 

Let me know if it´s only me who thinks so!

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!

Isabel Marant Spring 2016

You know how much I love Isabel Marant right now - her mixture of classic, bohemian 

and parisian influences is exactly what I´m looking for at the moment. 

I visited the brand website lately to check out the newest summer runway looks presented last week

 as part of Paris Fashionweek and came across this beautiful spring 2016 lookbook. 

The spring garments are rather modest and classy compared to the cheer- and colourful summer collection. 

Effortless and feminin, timeless pieces I preferably want to add to my wardrobe immediately.

 I don´t mind a bit of understatement when it still has this certain something. 

Do you know this when you have a crush on a particular brand and 

you would love to buy almost everything of it? Isabel Marant is mine at the moment!

 Check out the whole lookbook here.

I really like this arrangement of magazines, vintage frames, fashion pieces and far eastern details. 

I spotted this moroccan basket the other day at Hay and put it straight on my brithday wishlist. 

Isn´t it beautiful? It´s also worth taking a closer look at the rest of this lovely bohemian

 inspired apartment of a swedish family. Click here if you like to check it out.

French Vibes

Oh Paris, I miss you so much! 

My longing for France reaches its climax every autumn again 

when I look back and remember my first weeks in Paris 2 years ago.

To satisfy this longing at least a bit I went virtual shopping to get some french vibes in my life.

I don´t know why I think Paris is most beautiful in Autumn, can you?

This would be my look for a sunny autumn walk through Jardin Tuileries.

Weekend Read

The new issue of The Gentlewoman is out just in time for weekend.

Cover girl of this autumn winter issue is blue-eyed actress Saoirse Ronan, 

whose name I cannot even pronounce but it sounds extremely poetic anyway. 

All I want for now is get myself a cup of tea and flip through it on this cozy sunday.

Enjoy yours!
