Pink West

Summer finally arrived and I couldn't be happier. Wearing flats and getting rid of everything that has sleeves. I bought my pink west a few weeks ago, hoping the weather would turn warm quickly, but it tricked me and after it got warmer I finally could wear it. I have so many summer clothes that I never wore before, so get ready of many summerish outfit posts.

Office Outfit with glasses

Here is another office outfit. It's mostly black and white but I made it look more fun by adding red lips and a red clutch. My glasses are also breaking the strictness of the whole outfit. This way I can wear a classical business outfit without losing my own style.

And it's Party Time

You can't do anything wrong with a little black dress and you can't do anything wrong with sequin. You just have to watch a few little styling rules:

1. Nude High heels let your legs appear longer and don't let your outfit look 'all black and dull'

2. Sequins are already an attention stealer so keep it simple with accessories

3. Your hair and make up should be simple, they shouldn't steal the show from the sequins

And then you are ready to paaaarteeeeeyy =)

Office Outfit

Going to work always recuires a appropriate clothes, but wearing a white blouse and black pants is just plain boring. Therefore I like to buy elegant blouses with nice prints whenever I can. Combined with posh pants it's an office outfit, with jeans a nice casual one. Also never underestimate the power of a colored bag;

it gives your outfit an instant lift.

So here is my interpreation of an cheerful summer outfit:

Blue Blouse (Primark)

White Pants (Zara)

Blue Highheels (Bershka)

Bag (Six)

Sunglasses (RayBan)

Clear Water, Florida

A must-have for my summer closet are shorts. It's possible to pair them with everything: T-Shirts, Blouses, Fancy Tops.
My favorite is to wear high heels with shorts. It makes you look so much taller, and is flatering to your figure.

In Clear Water/Florida I wore my shorts with a blouse, wedges and simple accessories.

Candice Swanepoel fotoshooting and Linda Hay

Here she is: Candice Swanepoel. The Victoria Secret Model had a fotoshoot
 right when we were taking a walk in the park. 

She is so much prettier in person, looks a little shy, which makes her

 even more likeable.

Her Make- Up was done by Linda Hay, who is one of the most 

             valued makeup artists in the fashion industry.

             She is the Key Make-Up Artist for Victoria Secret Beauty. 

             I love her and her work.

Enyoj the pictures of Candice.

Matching colors are always fun to wear.

Especially if it's this great turquoise.

Turned out to become a nice combo.

See for yourself after the jump.

Feeling the blue...

I never understood why it is called feeling blue.

Whenever I "feel" blue I think it turns into a really great outfit. =)

This one is with blue jeans and a blue cardigan.

A statement necklace always cheers up your outfit and the high heels just complete it.

Todays Outfit combines a leather jacket and leather leggings.

With the skull-scarf it certainly has a biker chick attitude.

Let me know if you like it

Casual Beige

                            

This outfit combines two of my favorite pieces: A trench and blue Jeans.

Especialy this light blue jeans is an allrounder; it fits to almost everything.

The nude high heels belong to my wardrobe essentials; combining them with dresses or skirts let you appear taller as you are, by visually lengthening your legs.

The 101 of Packing a Suitcase...

Packing your luggage can - as fun as it can be though - a tricky thing.

Especially the question of combining is hard once you are away from your closet and your everyday items.

So imagine being away for a week for -lets say- a business trip mixed with going out at night.

What are you packing then?

Since I am traveling regularly, I wanted to share my experiences with you guys.

As you can see I have packed quite a lot, but this fits into a medium suitcase, still leaving a lot of room for souvenirs.

In the next few days I am going to share my outfits with you, but before I wanted to give you a few tips:

*Choose a few basics; My weapon of choice is a strapless white top

*Pick a few key pieces; I used colorful clutch bags and different types of accessories

*Less shoes mean more space in your suitcase

*Reduce the heavy items, go for the light ones

*Pick pants you can combine with more than one Top; light blue jeans are great for this

Stay tuned for my outfit pics

Sunday...

For the modern fashionista the name Carrie Bradshaw isn't unknown.
A columnist, with a special sense of fashion, lives in the probably most popular city in the world: New York City.

Who didn't wanted to switch her own life with Carries?
Living in New York City, having your own column in a famous magazine, investing almost all of your well earned money in designer fashion
and Manolo Blahniks, gossiping with your equally stylish and successful girlfriends in the Hot Spots of New York, while sipping Cosmopolitans.

Who didn't wished to start writing her own blog after watching Carrie sitting in front of her desk, staring out of the window, tipping her inner thoughts about
men and the dating life of the new metropolitan woman?

As good as it sounds, I would never want my live to be like Carries.
The - almost- never ending dating-life (frustrations included), barely contact with her family,
a tiny apartment (Ok it's in New York, which - admitted- is awesome), an many many disasters that all needed to be handled.

Instead I take my time on a Sunday, put on cozy clothes, pour a glass of wine and watch:

Sex and the City.
I don't want to switch my live with her but watching hers makes a lot of fun.

Have a nice Sunday ladies

Dinner Time in Black and Cream... A sure thing

Going out on dinner seems to be quite tricky, if you don't know where to go.

The question is:

Is it going to be a casual or elegant restaurant?

Mostly you decide once you are there and then maybe your outfit seems - well lets call it - over or underdressed.

To avoid these kind of situations choose a simple outfit, that easily could fit into both.

Nude pants and a basic white shirt (casual) polished with a black blazer an heels.

The clutch keeps it elegant while the necklace gives my outfit a playful touch.

A simple Make-Up, which you can 'upgrade' simply with a powerful lipstick color.

I wear: ZARA - blazer

          H&M - shirt

             Mango - trousers

     High Heels - Buffalo

Have Fun

Getting ready for Summer...

What happens if you haven't been shopping for almost a month and the sun was shining after what felt-like an eternity?

Yes, I did it. I went shopping and lost myself in summer pieces. =)

I bought theses cases for my sunglasses. I loved the one with the flowers, but couldn't resist to buy the black one and the beige one too. Your closet looks way more organized, if you have matching pieces. They look nice in my drawer.

New colors in my nail polish collection. As you can see this summer will be with a lot of red, pink and blue on my nails. Flormar is one of the best nail polishes I've used and Kiko never fails to impress with it's amazing colors.

Aren't these brushes lovely? You don't really much to put on a flawless make-up. Just remember to clean them proper regularly.

I keep my make up nice and simple, but having a colorful make up palette gives you the opportunity to add a little color every now and then. Therefore I couldn't resist buying this one. Again all summer colors are represented. Yuhu. 

Last but not least some of my other purchases: Jewelery. Light an simple pieces for everyday and statement pieces for going out.

As you can see I had a very pleasant shopping spree. Hope yours are as successful as mine was.

Whats a typical Sunday for you?

Whats a typical Sunday for you?

Living in a big city causes you to have a lot of stress; the traffic, rushing from one appointment to another, crowded areas. So the weekdays pass by leaving you quite exhausted; but there are always the nice and well deserved weekends.

I spend most of my Saturdays meeting with friends, running errands or visiting my parents. I think it's really important to stay in touch in person, instead of virtual. Sure I text with people I love, but meeting them and looking them in their eyes while talking is just priceless.
Shopping with your friends, having coffee together, doing the latest gossip just works better while being in the same room. There are things you can say about someone that won't mean the same if you don't show that special emotion on your face *wink*. Haha

On Sundays I like to take time for myself and my husband. Sitting in the living-room, watching TV, chatting. Usually he is on his X-Box, while I check out the Vogue, have a nice cup of tea and
of course get ready for the next week by doing my nails.

So Ladies, Never forget to be close to your loved ones, bu also Always take time for yourself, because you are worth it.
