Get Ready With Me: Dinner Party with Friends!

Hey everybody!

Today I went out to an evening dinner party with my friends in order to celebrate our graduation. It was not a fancy event or any posh restaurant, but rather a pretty casual and laid-back dinner, so I payed attention at not to be over-dressed. I more enjoyed doing a little more obvious make-up resp. two months ago I wouldn't call this an intense makeup, but because I haven't had the time to do that for the last months, this is pretty intense for me right now. So let's have a closer look.

Hair
I just had a shower right before I left, so I blow-dried my hair. Then I used a little volume spray on my roots, a shimmer spray in my length and I was ready to go.

Outfit
I tried to take a picture of my outfit, but I totally failed out of various serious. However, I tried to find examples for the clothes that I wore, so the blouse is not that minty but it is a good example in terms of the shape. Basically, I wanted to look casual chic and thus, I choose a basic dark denim skinny jeans and tugged in a dusty blue fluffy blouse.

Make-up



My base consisted of Astor anti shine make up in 201 sand, the Catrice Light Reflecting Concealer under the eyes and the Vichy Dermablend Concealer for concealing my pimples. Also I used the Bourjois bronzer as a blush on my cheeks and a tiny bit where the sun would naturally hit me.


After applying an eyeshadow base, I went on with the second colour from the left from the Catrice Absolute Nude Palette and applied it all over the lid. Then I used the Alverde baked eyeshadow in Glam Mauve and blended it into my crease. I lined my upper lashline with the dark brown colour from the Essence eyebrow set and used the light brown from the palette for my eyebrows. Lastly, I curled my lashes and used the Essence I Love Extreme Mascara.

For the lips, I decided to go with the MAC lipstick in Blankety. In total, I tried to focus on the eyes as the lipstick will come of during the dinner anyway. 

So this was my makeup, outfit and hair for this evening dinner. Again, the makeup part was also pretty exciting for me as I haven't done any fancy eyemake-ups during my study time. But I am glad that I haven't forget how to do that :) I hope you forgive me that I wasn't able to show you my outfit in real and I wish you a lovely day!

Love,

3 Spring Outfits - From Business, Edgy To Casual

Hello guys!

Recently I talked about the latest spring trends that I considered to be most wearable (Link) and also shared with you my first spring outfit idea with a trendy short suit (Link). So before I am going to make a zillion posts of all my spring outfit ideas, I thought that I will sum them up to one post. Thus, today I want to show you 3 different outfits in three styles inspired by this year's spring trends. I hope you can find something for your style.


Outfit No. 1: Elegant Cut Out Dress


1. Off-white bowling bag by Morgan - 69,95€
2. Ivory belt by Marc O'Polo - 29,90€ (reduced)
3. Black Cut Out Dress by mint&berry - 49,95€
4. Sterling silver ring by Esprit - 34,90€
5. Sterling silver earrings by Esprit - 49,90€ (Link)
6. Black pumps by Zign - 64,96€ (Link)

This outfit is for a business day or during nighttime, so when you want to look a bit chic in general e.g. for a nice dinner. I wanted to incorporate only two colours: black and white/off-white/beige and a classy black dress with cut out details that are the latest spring trends. The pumps with the metallic tip add an extra touch to the outfit.


Outfit No. 2: Casual Neutral Bermuda Shorts

 

1. Brown vintage bag by Esprit - 39,95€
2. Khaki chino bermuda by Billabong - 74,95€
3. Dusty blue chiffon blouse by Esprit - 14,99€
4. Golden watch with leather strap by Nixon - 164,95€
5. Grey suede oxford shoes by Best Connection - 79,90€ (Link)

This outfit is perfect for a casual shopping day during a chilly spring day. In this outfit, I wanted to stay on the neutral side, so I stayed away from bright colours and rather worked with browns, khaki, and dusty colours like the dusty grey and dusty turquoise. Bermuda shorts are really in trend this year and I think golden accessories and a stylish pair of oxford shoes complete the outfit.


Outfit No.3: Edgy Dusty Rose Spring Outfit



1. Retro sunglasses by Promod - 11,95€ (Link)
2. 26 silver bracelets by Promod - 12,95€ (Link)
3. Brown studded sandals with heel by Vic - 148€ (Link - reduced)
4. Grey sweater with metallic detail by Esprit - 29,99€
5. black clutch with studs by Accessorize - 65€ (Link)
6. Dusty rose jeans by Conley's - 99€ (Link)

This outfit is inspired by the lovely Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and it is my favourite outfit. This outfit actually only consists of basics, but by adding all the accessories it starts to become so interesting. I also think that the combination of brown, black, grey and pastel colour works really well and looks incredibly stylish. This outfit is great for any occasion as it can be worn during a casual shopping day and when going out to a stylish bar.  

So these were my 3 outfits inspired by the spring trends for this year. I hope you liked the outfits and found one that suits to your style. As spring time is not that warm where I live, the lighter and shorter outfits will come in summer. Let me know what was your favourite outfit out of these three? 
So I wish you a wonderful day and I hope you can enjoy the warming sun somewhere.

Love,

Red Blazer with Jeans - Outift!

What I hate about street fashion during fall/winter time is that people stop wearing colourful clothes. However, I think that it is totally okay to wear colourful clothes during the whole year and when you want to wear a neon-green top with a pink skirt in the winter then do it! Today I added a bright red blazer to my outfit. Of course, you have to be a bit self-confident to wear this blazer, but is definitely an eye-catcher.


Blazer: Montego. Top: NewYorker. Jeans: Sublevel. Ballerina: YKX&Co.


This was my outfit for today. I am always suprised how easy it is too make a look to something special and chic by adding a blazer. The rest of my outfit is kept in neutral black or in "laid-back" navy blue colours so that I don't look like a parrot. I also wore pretty simple jewelry, my silver clock and some simple silver studs with a clear (diamond) glass.

I hope you liked this outfit & tell me what do you think about bright colours in the fall/winter time?

Wish you a wonderful day!
Lots of love,

I'm In The Army Now! - A Military Fall Outfit!

A few days ago I walked through Zara, saw this cool army green military blouse  and immediately felt in love with it. I can think of a lot of cool and casual outfits  for fall and this would look really good with a jeans short for next summer. The blouse is a bit thicker than usual and is with 29€ really effort able.

The Outfit
 
Blouse: Zara. Top: Street One. Jeans: Sublevel. Shoes: Chucks.


Jewelry
 
Earrings: Bijou Brigitte. Bracelet: from Africa. Nail polish: Esprit.
That's the outfit for today! I kept the rest of my outfit in warm colours and the jewelry in dark steeling steel. I can think of loads of different outfits with this blouse for example with nice boots or black trousers.

What do you think about the military trend?

Wish you a wonderful day!
Lots of love,

OOTD: Casual Saturday Outfit With Plaid Shirt


plait blouse/H&M - top/H&M - belt/Esprit - Jeans/98 86


The heatwave has finally arrived in Germany and during lunch time even this outfit was too warm for the weather. The whole last week was absolutely nasty weather and way too cold for April and suddenly within one day it is so warm here! In fact, this means for me a massive headache and circulation problems.
However, I am so happy that I can start to wear all my summer clothes again and thus, can do a lot of more Outfit of the days.


Because I was not sure whether a short is a bit too cold, I decided to wear my regular jeans with my brown belt from Esprit. On my upper body I wore a black top as I want to draw attention to my blouse. Because of the fact that it was that warm outside I replaced my jacket with a nice, casual, green and black plait blouse. This blouse is too big for me but that is the look that I want to have.
With this blouse the whole look appears a bit more casual, boyish but in the same time trendy.


As this look has more dusty colours and not a bright eye catcher, I would suggest this look when it is a warm sunny day, however, there are a few clouds in the sky.


I hope you had a wonderful weekend! What do you think about plait blouses?
