Trench Coat Weather

Originally created to protect us from rain, the trench coat has proven long time ago

 that it has become a real wardrobe staple for Spring time not only for practicle reasons 

but most of all as a fashion must have. 

Some people might be a different opinion. I guess, you either love trench coats or you hate them but

 I think most of you agree when I say, that a classic trench coat belongs in every wardrobe by the age of 25.

There are a couple of nice models available on the high street, if you want to find out first 

whether it fits in your wardrobe or not. But I have to say it is definitely worth investing in a luxury, 

high quality version of such a classic piece. You can find Burberry coats in every well sorted

 Second hand store for a fraction of the original price, which doesn´t make it impossible to own such a classic. 

However, my heart beats for one not so traditional model from Totême and a rather Burberry-like piece from Filippa K. 

Hard to make a decision as they are totally different in style but both absolutely beautiful. 

I need to figure out soon because the weather in Berlin is just perfect for a Trench at the moment!

Wardrobe Basics for Spring

Slowly but surely I get sick of my winter wardrobe. For my liking winter might soon come to an end 

so that I can finally get my spring clothes out again. With spring clothes I mean light blouses, 

loafers and ballerines, t-shirts and sunglasses, which you can wear again without being stared at. 

Online you can already find a great variety of new season pieces, which I can hardly resist.  

Elin Kling has just added some really cool denim trousers to the collection of her brand Totême. 

The dark washed casual fit model would be the perfect supplement to my own denim collection. 

Worn with a well fitted t-shirt and complemented by some nice little details 

a rather simple but relaxed look for any occasion. 

What I like about t- shirt from &Other Stories is that they are made from a super soft but 

light weight material and that the arms are kind of cropped, which suits my body really well. 

If you haven´t found the perfect fitted shirt yet, you definitely check out these. 

In spring time I love to wear loafers because they are something in between ballerinas and classic lace ups.

 I already own one pair but another pair to vary seems like a good investment. Isabel Marant shoes

 are always good quality, super comfy and the designs are simply amazing. Maybe a cheaper alternative 

to classic Gucci loafers? When talking about Gucci, how cute is this bee bag? 

Usually I don´t like prints on bags and Gucci is sometimes a little bit too much for my taste but 

this bag took my heart by storm, if only the price weren´t that ridiculous. 

As you can see all of these pieces are quite classic but still not square at all. 

To invest in good quality pieces, which will last you for a couple of years, makes absolutely sense for me. 

You just have to find out, what is missing in your wardrobe and what is easy 

to combine with the pieces you already have. 

I try to stick to my list and let you know, as soon as something was allowed to move in.

When Malgosia Bela is face of the new campaign of one of

 my favourite brands, I obviously have to share it with you.

So, here it is: the latest autumn winter campaign of Totême, 

full of timeless staples and beautiful pictures of Malgosia Bela.

The rollneck sweater is my favourite piece. Do you have one?

Perfect Pair

Maybe from now on my new favourite category - to have two perfectly 

matching pieces makes your daily wardrobe decision so much easier. 

When you have a nice pair you can rely on, it´s so easy to find something else 

in your wardrobe to add on, whether a shorts, a skirt or casual pants in this instance. 

The Totême monogram scarf is on my wishlist for a while now. 

I think a perfect partner to a casual oversized white shirt.

Totally effortless but still a pretty combination with a denim piece for example.

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

Perfect Pair

Navy blue and cognac brown is just a perfect match in my opinion.

 Consequently, this stripy tunic from Totême and these snake leather slippers

 from Gianvito Rossi is my dream-look for a weekend getaway to the countryside. 

A white bikini or swimsuit beneath and you´re also ready for a day on the beach. 

In this sense happy weekend!
