Winter in Grey

Rare picture of me smiling

Of course, following my announcement that there wasn't gonna be one, there had to be another post in these final days of 2016. T_T 
Here's to my latest look post:

Beret : & Other Stories | Top : H&M | Jeans : H&M  | Shoes : Vagabond | Coat : H&M Collection

What do you think of the vintage filters I've used on the two photos above? 

I hope you've, despite the lack of words, enjoyed this post.

Coordinate : Baby I Got Me

Top : H&M Men | Culottes : Zara | Bag : DKNY | Sneakers : Nike Air

With this coordinate I decided to play a little more with the boyish look I recently acquired, taking a business style men's shirt (found at H&M) and wearing it in an off-shoulder style combined with my favourite culottes & casual sneakers. This is essentially a very casual look that I only managed to make appear more chic with adding my fancy DKNY bag to it. I love how you can sometimes change the whole attitude of a look simply by adding the right accessories, especially bags and watches. I can say I'm quite satisfied with the result.

I wanna talk more about my new favourite bag in a review I'm gonna post soon :3

Totally apart from fashion, I have recently developed yet another crazy addiction - TEA! 
I mean, I'm not exactly sure if there even is such a thing as a tea-addiction but if there is, I am definitely a victim. Orange flavoured ginger green tea is my current favourite.. man, I wanna bathe in orange flavoured ginger green tea, it's just so delicious and soothing! <3

What is your favourite tea?

Coordinate : Boyish + Anyshapes review

A while ago Anyshapes contacted me and asked me for a collab and of course I said yes since I love their cases! I was really excited when I opened the package and unwrapped the phone case and I didn't get disappointed! It's so stylish and pretty and I especially love the chain that holds it so you can even carry it like a little bag, it's so convenient!

Besides the cute case this look features a two-piece from stylnenanda which I really loved when I discovered it on their site so I just had to order it and my trusty zara oxfords.
I feel like this style is making me look really boyish, hence the title, but I can't say that I don't enjoy it, in fact it kind of reminds me of my childhood where I was the total definition of a tomboy (who wasn't at least a little bit of a tomboy when they were little?), it's refreshing :)

What is a style you currently tried out for yourself and really started to like?

Coordinate : Love Red

It's been a while since my last coordinate-post and I'm really sorry to keep you waiting and I have to admit, alhough I really don't have too much time these days I've also been sort of lazy to do it. But I really hate having new looks on my look book and no articles to go with them on my blog so now I've finally pulled myself together and decided to write one again! Here it is: 

Jumper : H&M | Pants : H&M | Watch : DW | Bag : Zac Posen | Shoes : Zara

I think I can say I've become pretty skilled at combining cheap clothes with rather pricey accessories and luckily I have because in this case it really saved the outfit! I love love love this Zac Posen bag, and especially because of the pretty colour. I had ordered this one online so when it arrived I was kinda nervous if the colour really looked like in the photos but when I unwrapped it, it was love at first sight! 

The leather wristband I bought for my Daniel Wellington was another thing I didn't regret. I like it so much better than the textile one & it's easier to match to outfits, too.

Another thing about this look that surprised me positively were the Oxford shoes I bought from Zara because the leather of my old ones from Schuh, which I loved and wore way too much, had become too wrinkly and worn out ~ I must say I didn't really expect much when I bought those Zara shoes, my first pair of shoes from Zara, because Zara isn't really known for the great quality of the shoes they make but this pair is actually surprisingly comfortable! :) 

Melbourne has been pretty boring for me recently since, after my friends moved to a farm on the countryside, I spend most days in coffee shops or just walking around the city or hanging out with my housemates. 

My birthday, yes, it's on Valentine's Day, is in 2 days and I have no plans for it either. I also can't believe that I'm turning 20! 20.. That's two decades of being alive already! And although I know that's not old it feels terribly ancient to me.. I wish I could just celebrate my 19th birthday again and pretend I was born in 97 to be honest. But yeah, 20 it is... Let's see if there will actually be something happening on that day. :) 

What are your plans for Valentine's Day?

Coordinate : "Do Not Pass."

Dress : Zara | Bag : Lloyd Baker London | Ballerinas : Gabor

 Here's my latest coordinate, and you guys, can't imagine how glad I am that I finally found the motivation and time to write this post. It's probably my last coordinate post before I'm heading for Australia and I can't even tell you how excited I am. I'm SOO looking forward this adventure and I think you can look forward to some nice shots of the Australian Summer that I'll hopefully get to capture, too! 

But back to the coordinate.. once again, this dress was a piece that I wasn't all too sure about at first but because it was fairly inexpensive I gladly decided to buy it! No regrets, no regrets AT ALL! <3 

The leather satchel by Lloyd Baker London is by far my favourite piece about this look though! It is really SO convenient and, although, it's quite small, the amount of things you can fit into it is just amazing! It also goes with most outfits actually as it's very subtle in terms of colour & design. 

Who would have thought that one could love a convenient, compact little bag like this so much?! The perfect bag for my little adventures!<3

I might actually post this on lookbook, too (although posting several looks of the same outfit is usually not my thing all), someday because I REALLY couldn't decide which of the two collage to post when I uploaded the look yesterday. I like 'em both :P 

What is your favourite bag to go on trips?

Coordinate : Teddy Coat Reversed

Coat: H&M | Dress: Topshop | Watch: Michael Kors | Bag: Tory Burch | Loafers: Puccetti

I seriously fell in love with this coat! When I first saw it in store I was really hesitant about buying it, it seemed like one of those pieces you buy because they look cool at that moment but are probably never gonna wear again (You'd be surprised about the number of clothes in my wardrobe that are just like that!). Luckily, this coat didn't turn out to be one of them, it turned out just the right piece for me for the cooler temperatures. And the coolest thing about it is, it's reversible!
One side is kind of fluffy like a camel sheep fur while the other resembles soft leather - it's definitely the best faux piece I've got myself so far and I do not regret buying it at all <3

Do you have any pieces you were hesitant about buying but ended up totally loving?

Coordinate: Lavender & Night Out In Lace

Those two looks were basically my haul from YOINS - A super cool & cheap (!) online shop. I have to admit, I was really positively surprised when I received the package as the clothes really looked just like in the pictures! I love them.<3 The shipping took a while but it was definitely worth the wait!

So here's the looks: 

Lavender

Dress : YOINS

I actually really love this off-shoulder dress. I mean, I love stripes, I love dresses, I love simplicity, so what's not to love about this? Admittedly, it's not really suitable for the season but as I'm planning on going to Australia in December anyways this is definitely a piece that is gonna have a place in my luggage case! It just seems so great for a casual day out in the sunny Melbourne! :)

You can shop the dress here!

The rings are YOINS, too!

Night Out In Lace

Two piece : YOINS | Clutch Bag : YOINS 

If you'd ask me to pick a favourite, it would probably be this one. 

I just love how this look is so elegant and.. kinda sexy but in a classy way (..you get me, right?).

It's just the perfect look for a night out! I actually wore this outfit last Friday night and received more compliments than ever so that really convinced me for good. 

You can shop this look here!

What do you like to wear on a night out? :)

Coordinate: Marble Obsessions

Hat : Chanel | Blouse : Japan | Pants : River Island | Shoes : Lamoda | Bag : MK 

This is a rather elegant and, surprise surprise, monochrome look, probably most suitable for some mild autumn afternoons in the city.
I kinda fell in love with these pants so I've basically tried to make the whole outfit evolve around them, although I feel like I kinda failed in that mission, I just love how the cut of those pants gives me some 'curves' - finally it looks like I actually have hips *yay*! 
Also, I'm not sure if you've noticed but I started editing the backgrounds of my looks and I feel that, with each new look, my skills are slightly improving - it's still obvious that it's edited but I don't really actually mind that if I'm honest. I like the way this looks, it kind of reminds me of an editorial straight out of the Dazed-Magazine. 

Overall, I'm actually quite satisfied with the outcome of this look, although I feel like I'm way overusing this Michael Kors bag.. I really like the Michael Kors Designs but the quality is really not that good compared to brands of a similar or slightly higher price category such as Kate Spade or Tory Burch, so I decided to not buy MK-products in the future but rather invest a little more into a better product. 

On a personal level I'm finally getting the 'good vibes' and really started to get stuff done. 
The probably most exciting news are: I have successfully managed to book a work & travel trip to Melbourne, Australia! I'm so looking forward it, although it will be later in December, I'm finally getting to see a part of the world I've never been to before and I'm in the firm believe that it is going to be awesome.. Just hoping it won't be too hot as it will be enough of a climate shock for me to get from winterly Europe to summerly Australia ahah. 

Do you have any upcoming events that you are especially looking forward to?

FALL for me

Jumper : H&M Studio | Overalls : Japan | Shoes : Jeffrey Campbell

Here's my latest, autumn-inspired look featuring a gorgeous H&M Studio sweater and a denim overall. I was really positively surprised by this season's Studio collection of H&M, the quality of the fabrics and the edginess of some of the designs were so atypical compared to the usual H&M mainstream stuff. I definitely don't regret checking this collection out because I actually managed to find and buy what might become one of my favourite autumn/winter sweaters ever there! The warm colours, the oversized cut and the cozy wool material just makes this jumper so comfortable, no matter if you wear it as a pullover or directly on your skin. It keeps you warm while looking stylish, and honestly, what more could you ask for in a piece of clothing?

Ring : Antique-shop | Bag : Tory Burch

I'm actually still trying to figure out whether double buns suit me or not but I thought they'd definitely look cute with this look so 'why not?'
Anyways, sorry for the 'perfect sweater'-rave on here but you just gotta love this cozy jumper, I'm so happy I've found it! <3

How important is the perfect autumn sweater for you?

Necklace : H&M | Dress : Zara

 This is gonna be my last, belated, summer look for this season featuring gel hair and smokey eyes.
It's funny how you never realize how short your hair is until you gel it all back but I still wouldn't want it to be any longer, especially not for this look. I've been trying to personify my style a little more lately and decided that edgy & elegant was what I'm gonna go for, though, there might still be some looks that are gonna be exceptions to this in the future but let's not waste too much time planning for the future now, we live now, today and tomorrow is really just a mystical land that we humans store 99% of our productivity, motivation and achievement (credits to the quote I once read this in somewhere).
 
Btw. I'm so glad I still got the time to write and publish this post because I'm currently on the airport waiting for boarding to go back to the UK to finally join and experience the, probably most exciting time of our lives, university life! 
And can I just confess that I like airports – Especially the time when you're waiting for boarding because it's so fun for me to just watch all the business people hectically type some last messages and send their last emails before the wi-fi-less-time on board of the plane and to witness all the conversations that are just being started because people finally find someone who speaks their language and it's so nice for me to just sit there and listen while they're exchanging those little stories about their lives. 
The only thing I probably like even more than the time when you wait for boarding at an airport is the time right after check-in and security because you just sort of sit there and wait for your gate to open while all the people that are late for their own flights rush past you and in those moments it somehow feels like time stands still for me.

Anyways, back to topic. I really hope you like this look and I want you to know I'm so grateful to each one of you taking the time to even read my boring blog posts haha!<3

Do you use lookbook? 

What style would you wanna be associated with?

Coordinate: Holographic

Dress : Topshop | Sandals : Lamoda | Clutch Bag : River Island | Bracelet : Swarovski

Here's, probably one of my preppiest but also edgy, looks for summer or for the last sunny & warm days of transition, of course featuring a nice jacket or coat if it's colder, but this is really more of an outfit I would wear to a night out. I wore this topshop dress/tunic/filler for my birthday party actually and it was really convenient, I didn't get too hot or cold throughout the whole night. My hair is longer in the pictures thanks to a half wig btw. (I'm really a fan of half wigs so I might write a post on them soon)!
Other than that there's really way too much stuff going on in my life at the moment. Do you know that feeling you get when there's so many things to do that you actually can't even do them all until the deadline so you just kinda resign? Exactly... But I wouldn't be me if I wouldn't somehow manage to do it – I believe nothing is impossible as long as you just stay positive and believe in yourself and it has gotten me quite a distance now so I can't say it was the stupidest thing to believe :)

The Duster Coat

Coat : Zara | Dress : Zara | Sandals : Lamoda | Bag : Michael Kors | Watch : Michael Kors

Noticing in shock that I haven't really published any outfit post in ages here's finally, after half a century, my next #ootd post. I decided to go for an edgy, urban style with this look keeping the color range minimal and light so it suits the season. 
I wore this outfit in Munich, Germany, for only a day and in combination with the hair some people even came up to me asking me to take photos – I mean, how crazy is that?? Stuff that used to happen only in Japan suddenly also happened in Germany!
So I decided to feel incredibly honored and started loving this outfit even more than I did anyways. I also know now that I'm seriously addicted to Zara since it isn't an actual shopping day for me without paying a visit to their stores and taking home at least one of their items. 
The quality and price range is just perfect for my budget and never left me unsatisfied and in addition to that they're always selling the latest fashion. 

 I'm SOOO in love with this duster coat, it is certainly one of my favorite items this summer/fall as it goes really well with so many different outfit coordinates.<3

What is your summer/fall wardrobe essential?
