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.

Coordinates: Strawberry Lipsticks featuring Sammydress

Top : Sammydress | Tulle dress : Zara | Hotpants : H&M | Flats : Salvatore Ferragamo | Clutch bag : Sammydress 

I'm so happy to finally post my most recent coordinate because it's been a while & I really like this coordinate. It also features my two favourite Sammydress products. 

If you've been following my blog for a little longer you might know I'm really into unique looking accessories, especially bags - so I got very excited when I discovered this cute clutch bag in lipstick design on the Sammydress website - I just had to get it! And I SOOOO don't regret it because it is even prettier in real life! In fact, this is probably my favourite clutch bag now and it is certainly an eye-catcher as well :) The only con is that it's a little heavy but that doesn't bother me too much, it's just so cute. Another item in this coordinate I wanna mention are the ballet flats from Salvatore Ferragamo, probably my favourite flats so far - they are very subtle & classy in terms of design so you can easily wear them with a lot of different outfits, they are also really really comfy! 

And lastly the top with the special cut is another Sammydress item I really grew to love, mainly because of the interesting irregular & oversized design and since it's black, it's also very easy to match it with many different looks, I love it! 

Sometimes I check the Sammydress website and honestly don't find a lot of pretty things but this time I was really lucky, in fact there were so many cute items, so especially if you're still looking for a unique or cute bag, make sure you check out their online shop! 

Let me know what you think about this coordinate in the comments below! 

Also, if you have one, where did you find your favourite clutch bag?

Coordinate : Run Boy Run + Pokémon Go release!

Hoodie : Pull & Bear | Skirt : Zara | Phone Case : Snupped | Choker : Lamoda

It started with a Jacket from Antonio Berardi, my love for neoprene outerwear, and is now being continued with this lovely oversized hoodie from Pull & Bear! There's just something about neoprene that makes it so perfect for almost any temperature within the mild climate range. I bought this hoodie while I was on my transit in Shanghai this winter, traveling back home from summerly Australia and hence, big surprise, absolutely underdressed and it literally saved my life - which is me totally exaggerating the possibility of a flu. 
Anyways, it kept me warm then & now in the warmer climate, keeps me cool. I can't quite explain the science behind this, but lastly divers use it for this reason, too.
Please excuse my grumpy facial expressions in those shots btw! 

And now onto something that seriously had me excited this week..

The Pokémon Go release

Omg guys, the time has finally come! Since July 7th, Pokémon Go is available on the app stores in the US, Australia & New Zealand and a release for Europe is apparently planned by the end of this week! As a person who grew up with the Pokémon games for Gameboy, Gamecube & Nintendo DS, you can go figure how excited I am about this game!

For those of you who haven't heard of Pokémon Go so far, here's a little trailer of what it's all about:

For more info you can also view their website here.

So seriously, how could anyone who played Pokemon growing up not be excited about this?! This game is so big, in fact, it's almost like my childhood dreams come true and the best thing about it? It's free to download!
Since the European version of it isn't officially available on the app stores yet, but the makers are rumoured to having announced that it would be released by the end of this week, you can be assured that I'll be checking the iPhone app store 5x or even more every day from now on until it's finally on there, haha - not talking about obsessions.. 

Will you be / are you playing Pokémon Go? 

What do you think of it?

Coordinate : Bad Intentions featuring Snupped

Choker : Lamoda | Bracelet : Swarovski | Top : H&M | Skirt : Chloé | Sandals : Lamoda | Phone Case : Snupped 

Finally a new coordinate post on here! I was actually going for a pinkish, minimal style here but thanks to the grungy location it turned out looking kinda grungy overall. Oh well, my favourite item in this coordinate is probably the skirt I got form Chloé, it's a nice a-line cut with pockets in the front so you can actually store smaller items there - absolutely perfect for a night out so you can conveniently leave your bag and jacket at the cloakroom of the club/bar without feeling so naked. 
You can see the actual cut and design of the skirt in the picture below:

The beautiful phone case featured in this look is from Snupped, a tech-accessory online shop which lets you design your own cases, pouches & laptop sleeves. How cool is that?! 
So when I had the choice, since I just recently got the iPhone6s, I decided to get a classic phone case & picked one of the design patterns from Snupped since I didn't at the time have any pretty photos of my paintings or something else personal that I could have used. 
Anyways, the case was with me very quickly & I must say I totally love it! The geometrical, minimal design is so innovative & exactly my taste!

What is your favourite, most recent fashion item?

Coordinate : Pink Pink Pink!

Choker : Lamoda | Top : New Look | Pants : Zara | Block Heels : Topshop |
Bag : Longchamp

This post to my latest coordinate took a while. I'm very sorry for that and I can't even put the excuse of being busy this time, I've just been totally lazy and lacked the motivation to write this post. Not sure what's going on but I'd suspect I'm just ready for a summer vacation on some tropical island – aren't we all? 
Anyways, the pieces I like most about this look are these block heels from Toyshop, they are made from real leather and a very high quality – I also like that the heels are pretty thick and not too high so they are comfortable to wear as well, and the silver ring-of-o-choker I got from Lamoda because it really adds spice to this otherwise quite plain look.

And have I ever told you that I absolutely love Longchamp totes? They are so light yet strong for carrying heavy stuff hence very convenient especially when you're doing the groceries or paying a visit to the drugstore – once they get dirty you can just easily throw them into the washing machine to clean them and when going on a trip you can fold them up so they take up minimal space in your luggage case. As I've said, love those bags <3

What is your favourite brand for tote bags?

Coordinate : Breathing Navy

Shirt/Dress : H&M | Jeans : Zara | Sneakers : Stan Smith Adidas | Backpack : Lamoda

This recent look is pretty simple & absolutely street-friendly, in fact, I actually wear this coordinate out a lot. It's casual, yet stylish & I just love how the white details on the H&M pyjama style shirt/dress go with the white jeans and shoes. I just love the silky, comfortable material and the relaxed PJ style of this H&M top - it's actually one of my favourites now! :)
I'm very much into casual looks and sneakers recently, maybe I'm just tired of the "beauty knows no pain" kind of fashion trends. Plus I'm really busy with preparations for University & summer in general at the moment so there's not really too much time to invest into styling flamboyant outfits. And lastly, I'm also quite content with the way things are at the moment and I think that's the main thing.

What do you think of the PJ-look 2016?

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 : Can I Kick It? + Sammydress review

Coat : Sammydress | Top : Zare | Jeans : Zara | Shoes : Stan Smith Adidas |
Backpack : Lamoda

It's been a while since my last coordinate post but finally I've found the time to capture my look again so here it is! This outfit features a beautiful coat that was sent to me from Sammydress.com, a website offering a huge variety of different styles and trends for low prices. 
I had been looking for a long coat like this for ages so I was really happy when I finally discovered it on their website and didn't hesitate to order. Unfortunately it arrived while I was away in Australia so I didn't get to see it until I returned a few weeks ago but when I finally unpacked it you can't believe how happy I was. I was really positively surprised because, judging by the low price that I bought it for, I didn't expect much but this coat was really pretty and a heavy, dense material! 
I actually wore it a lot since I got back, even washed it once, and it's still in perfect condition :) 
The only thing that bothered me a bit was that the sleeves weren't as wide as in the photo shown on the website but they were still more than wide enough for my arms to fit through but as that was the only slightly negative thing I could find about it, I would still give this coat a great 4/5 hearts! 

Two other items features in this look that are probably worth a mention are the "Can I Kick It?"-backpack I got from Lamoda, it's such an eye-catcher, and the Stan Smiths, yes, I finally got myself a pair. I really don't know how I could live all this time without having owned a pair of these sneakers. They are literally my go-to sneakers ever since I've bought them. They look good with almost any pants, especially jeans and I already know one thing for certain – if they ever get too old or something else happens so I can't wear them anymore there'll definitely be a second, third or even fourth pair of those in my life. 

I had also ordered a pair of earrings from Sammydress that I didn't get to wear that much yet, but that I'm still very satisfied with. They are just beautiful! 

Check out their website if you're looking for a specific item of clothing or accessory or just wanna make a great deal because, like me, you might find it on there ~

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 : 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: Get Your Geek On

Glasses : Claire's | Sweater : H&M | Pants : Zara | Sandals : Lamoda

Let's talk frankly today, fashion can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. The super tight dresses that you can hardly even breathe in and the Jeffrey Campbell Heels that, if you fall, you'll probably break your neck thanks to them. But who said fashion has to be only that?
It doesn't always have to be high and tight. I for myself decided that it can actually be so comfortable and casual, too, especially now as we're gradually moving closer to winter, this is honestly more of an indoors look but I did wear it out already, too. If the weather is too cold to wear Sandals, I just like to swap them with my trusty Nike Air sneakers. It's so simple, minimal and oh, the Mohair material of this H&M sweater is just sooo comfortable!
I loved the Glasses in addition to give me an overall geekier look - it's kinda of funny to play around with rather unusual accessories like that sometimes. 

This sweater had indeed made it to my top 3 favorite Sweaters the moment I had it!
It's a little baggy but as I'm a devoted fan of the oversized look anyways, I just had to fall in love with it. In fact, 2 of my 3 favorite sweaters are oversized & very casual, so I would say that this is probably my favorite style for sweaters, especially those thicker knits! :)

What is your favorite style for sweaters?

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? :)
