Kimono Style

"Looks"

Comeback of the Kimono - Kayomo Lab Hi my loves, when you think about kimonos you firstly think about the far East and long, undulating robes with exotic and colourful patterns. But kimonos can also look quite different. This is something the new label "Kayomo Lab" truly proves. Their designs are minimalistic, elegant, effortlessly chic and made for everyday life for modern people. The pieces are perfect for office days and you can combine them easily. No matter if you take a blue jeans, a pencil skirt or a culotte. The neutral colours are great style partner for your daily wardrobe. But there are also some colourful items if you need a little more attention. It is unbelievale that most of the designs the young label firstly showed at last London Fashion Week are…

My favourite lipsticks

"Beauty"

Lipstick game strong Hi my loves, I guess you already know that I am certainly one of the biggest lipstick junkies on earth. If there would be one single thing I could take with me on a lonely island, I would go for a red lipstick! So many just don't know that a touch of lipstick can change a complete look within seconds. When you are not really awake in the morning just take a red lipstick and your face will get a radiant glow immediately! You do not need anything more, just a hint of colour. I use lipsticks since many many years now and my favourites are the red and pink tones. I prefer bluish tones because they are the best option for my teeth and skin colour. I usually avoid everythig…

Pink and Bows

"Looks"

Take a bow with a touch of pink Hi my loves, once a wise woman told me: "If you see a thing you truly love, buy it in different colours". Said and done. Every year when spring is just around the corner I feel that special vibration in the air and I usually need to get at least one item in pink. So obviously I did not hesitate and bought the glorious Mackintosh in another colour. Pink with bows! My girly-girl periods are over but whenever there are some light pink pieces I need to take a second look. But pink is not so easy to wear especially when you are not 6 years old and exceed the 30ies. It is a strong colour and therefore it needs to get a little dress down.…

Big Volants & the Coat

"Looks"

How to style a striped coat and big volants Hi my loves, while writing these lines I actually noticed that I have combined two big trends in my today's look. Striped and volants. This was not planned at all, it was some kind of coincidence. But  it is definitely a look you can wear for a shopping break, a coffee date with friends or even for work. If you ask me coats are always a good investment. Even if it does not have to be an investment for real. Of course you should own at least 1-2 neutral wool coats in good quality when you reach your 30ies. But when it comes to seasonal trends I would suggest to buy them at any High-Street store. They are great affordable alternatives like my striped coat…

Bucket List Week #6

"Shopping"

  Bucket List Week #6 Hi my loves, time is flying, right? Now it is already February and I just can't see any more winter clothes. At the moment there are still some winter sales and you can easily catch a real bargain if you hurry up but for me it is definitely time for some brandnew spring pieces. I need sun, sun, sun and a lot of new lightweight and bright spring clothes! Do you feel the same? For this reason I already got through some online shops to discover the most beautiful and exciting items. I just can't wait to welcome the very first warm sunrays on my brightest skin ever. No joke, my teint is acutally looking like I have lived in the underground for half a year. So let's lure…
