Dream Night Abroad in Barcelona (Outfit, Food,...)

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." 

    - St. Augustine

I love to travel as I love to get to know new cultures and to get inspired by all the new impressions. Thus, I was really excited when Smartling - an online translation technology company  - asked me to be a part in their project "Dream Night Abroad" in which I tell how my dream night would look like, what I eat, wear and how I deal with the different language.

My destination for my dream night would be Barcelona. Barcelona is such a beautiful city combining beach and city, old buildings and new postmodern architecture and the Catalan flair. I would start my perfect day with visiting La Sagrada Familia, followed by a relaxed walk through the city and their parcs. Then I would stop at the Boqueria Market for a snack.

In the evening, I would walk through the beautiful historical old town with its fantastic architecture. Then I will have a beautiful dinner at one of the lovely restaurants in El Born and will have a cocktail, or two, in a bar with good music at the beach. I would finish my day with taking a long and really relaxing walk along the beach with my best friend or beloved one. 

This would be my outfit for the night:

Blouse - Mango

Leather Biker trousers - Zara

High Heels - Buffalo

Bag - Mango

Leatherjacket - Esprit

The Spanish Mediterranean food tastes absolutely amazing, so to find something to eat would be no problem for me. I would love to have a fresh fruit juice and some empanadas in the Boqueria Market. At the restaurant I would go for a great paella with a good red wine from the region and a Crema Catalana for dessert.

I actually can't speak Spanish. However, the different languages wouldn't be a problem for me. I would learn basic sentences beforehand and also take a dictionary with me. The best thing is not be afraid of talking to native speakers. That's the best and easiest way to learn the language. If I would receive any longer texts that I need to understand, I would use a translation program, such as Smartling, in order to understand them. 

This would be my dream night in Barcelona. How would your dream night look like and where would you like to stay?

All the best,

Corduroy Shorts Festive Winter Outfit of the Day!

Hello everyone!

Today I want to share with my outfit of the day. It start to get really freezing outside and because of the fact that we slowly start to get closer to christmas I wanted to boost my christmas mood by also dressing a bit festive. Thus, I decided to go for this green, lavender and white argyle sweater and my comfy but quite dressy corduroy shorts. Combined with tights and some nice and warm grey or black boots, it will keep you warm.

The outfit

Sweater: Montego. Corduroy Shorts: Esprit. Tights: Primark.

Hair:

Today's hairstyle was a bit extravagant. I french-braided my fringe back on both sides and tied them together into a bun. Really easy, but quite effective.

Make-up & Jewellery:

Earrings: Konplott.
Make-up: all over the lid - Sleek Storm Palette light rosy colour. eyeliner - manhattan blue felt-tip liner. lips - Rimmel Vintage Pink Lipstick. (a lot darker than in the picture)

It's rather unusual that I wear a darker lipstick for university, however, since it's stays so grey and cloudy during the whole day, I really like to wear darker colours. Im fact, the whole day was an experiment, because I have never worn a blue liner before but I think that this liner is dark enough and even looks like black with the normal room light. Anyway, I hope you liked this outfit and tell me what do you think about corduroy textures in the winter time?

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

Plaid Wool Skirt - Fall / Winter Outfit of the Day

Hey guys!

It is even November which means that the fall is literally rushing and I just realised that I haven't worn my favourite fall clothing items yet which are my fall skirts and shorts. So today's outfit is all about my beloved plait wool skirt which is casual but dressed up in the same time. It's hard to see on the photo, but the skirt has a bow on the waistline and also some really cool pockets. I combined a burgundy sweater with the dark blue skirt because the plaits of the skirt have some dark red colour details. I also decided to pair my non-transparent grey tights with my grey suede booties so that I stay in one colour range on the bottom.

The outfit

 

Sweater: Montego. Skirt: Esprit. Tights: from the grocery store. Boots: Gabor.

Make-up, Nail polish & Jewelry:

Nail polish: Nivea Carrot Brown *discontinued*. Bow Earings: Tallulah Tu.
Make-up: inner corner - light pink. eyelid - shimmery pink. crease - light matte grey. -eyeliner - smudged grey eyeliner pencil

This was my outfit for today. It is really frustrating that it start getting so cold so that you slowly get more limited in your clothing choice. However, I hope you liked this post and comment below whether you also love wearing skirt with boots during the fall time.

Wish you a wonderful day! Lots of love,

Corduroy Trousers and Black Blouse - Outfit of the Day

Hey guys!

Every woman knows that: We have clothes in our wardrobe that we hardly ever wear, but still we don't throw them away. A research even showed that a woman only wears about 10% of her wardrobe and I have to admit that I probably only wear about 25% of my clothes. So I rediscovered a black blouse which I own for 2 years, however, I have probably worn it five times. The problem with a black, quiet conservative cut blouse is that it can easily look like you are going to a funeral. Or you just look depressed and ill. Nevertheless, after two years I finally came out with an outfit that I really like.

The outfit

Blouse: Vero Moda. Corduroy Trousers: Mavi Jeans. Belt: H&M. Shoes: Buffalo Shoes.

Because of the black of the blouse, I wanted to balance this outfit out by wearing colourful trousers. So I decided to go with some soft red corduroy trousers which are perfect for this season. In order to combine these two colours, I tucked the blouse in the trousers, used a black belt and went for black patent-leather shoes. Even though there is a lot black going on, the patent-leather is still a real eye catcher. 

Jewellery, Make-up & Perfume

Necklace: Bijou Brigitte. Earrings: Jeweller. Perfume: YSL Paris.

Make-up: matte medium brown - all over the lid. white - inner corner. black winged liner.

Jewellery-wise I kept everything more in the gold, classic, subtle section because the black blouse is bold enough for me. Also my make-up was pretty simple, but I really love this simple look and YSL Paris transports exactly this bold but feminine, elegant feeling.

I hope you liked this outfit and comment below what do you think about corduroy fashion?

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,

Look As Posh As Victoria Beckham!

Hey guys!

Today I want to show you my outfit that I wore today. I currently really love doing these kind of posts and I hope that you like them as much as I do. So because it was quiet chilly outside, but not super cooled I decided to wear a dress. When I was in university, I realised that I was dressed completely in black, but I think it doesn't look that bad.

The Outfit

Dress: H&M. Belt: H&M. Tights. Blazer: H&M. Scarf: NewYorker. Ballerina: Gabor. 

Jewellery:

 
Clock: Christ. Bracelet: Mueller. Earrings: Tallulah Tu.

I like to glam myself up for school and to look sophisticated, but I know that not everyone is that weird like I am. So I recommend this look for a luxurious dinner in a restaurant, any cultural visit (theatre, opera etc.) and as a elegant business dress.

I hope you liked this post and let me know whether you like wearing black?

Wish you a wonderful day!

Edgy Short Leather Pants Outfit!

As it start to get a tiny bit colder these days, I though I am going to rock my short leather pants today before I have to start wearing them with tights. Unfortunately I don't own black leather ankle boots otherwise these would have been my choice for this outfit instead of my chucks. Jewelry-wise I just wore simple silver studs and no necklace because the shirt was a statement enough.

The Outfit

 
Blazer: H&M. Top: H&M. Leather shorts: H&M. Shoes: Slim Chucks

I haven't realised that I wear that much from H&M, but they do really great stuff. Hope you liked this post! What do you think about leather pants?

Wish you a wonderful day!
Lots of love,

Sexy Business Outfit of the Day

Here I am, back from my trip to Amsterdam! It was totally tiring and exhausting, but I saw so much things, it was absolutely amazing and so much fun. I ought to mention that my exam weeks start in one week, so it might happen that I have to skip 1-2 posts because school comes first. So I am back with a sexy business outfit that I wore to school today.

The Outfit

 
Top: H&M. Skirt: Zara. Blouse: Montego. Ballerinas: Gabor.

Accessories:

 

Clock: Christ. Necklace: Accessorize. Earring: Accessorize. Hair pins: Accessorize.

Make-up:

nude e/s - all over the lid. white e/s - inner corner & under brow bone. plumy mauve e/s - crease. manhattan chinese ink eyeliner. essence I love extreme mascara

Inspired by the earrings and the hair pins, which I have received as a birthday presents, I created this elegant, but sexy outfit as this might be probably the last hot summer day in this year. Also the manhattan chinese ink eyeliner, which also has been a present, does an amazing job and is super black.

I hope you liked this post & I am looking forward to writing more posts for you!

See you then!

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?

OOTD: The Last Cold Days

  Dress/Zara - Blazer/Esprit - Shirt/New Yorker - Black Tights - Necklace/Accessorize

Today was hopefully the last day where I had to wear warm clothes, because for the weekend we are expecting beautiful sunny 25°C!

Thus, I want to share with you my last winter/spring outfit before I officially transform my whole wardrobe into spring and summer!

I am actually not a huge fan of black clothes, however, I think that black suits to this dress so well. 

Actually, this dress is a mini summer dress which I transformed into a warmer outfit with some thick black tights and a shirt plus blazer on top. I do not see the sense in buying a dress that can be just worn during the summer time. That would mean, at least for me, a waste of money. 

Also, I think that the bright red colour of the dress brightens up the grey weather outside and brings me in a more positive mood.

I wrapped up the sleeves of my blazer so that this outfit doesn't look too conservative. Therefore, it appears a bit more casual and can absolutely be worn in school.

In order to balance the bright colour from my upper part of my body, I added a colorful pearl necklace to this look, which also has got red pearls. This colorful necklace makes this look again a bit more casual and playful.

Hope you liked the look and 

what do you wear when the weather is absolutely terrible?

OOTD: Colourful Spring Outfit (For The Colder Days)

Sweater/H&M - Top/Zara - Trousers/Mavi - Belt/Esprit - Scarf/Camden Market London

Even though it is still a little bit cold outside (at least my area where I live) it is time to pick some colour in our outfits. I am definitely ready for the spring, therefore I think the bright coral top from Zara is the perfect extra eye catcher. Unfortunately, I think you can't get the sweater from H&M anymore because this was a limited designed sweater by Sonja Rykiel. 

Also, I really like the corduroy black trousers because it is something else than a normal jeans and still gives a winter feeling even though I added a few bright colours.

The scarf is the perfect match to the top underneath the shirt. It has a really light scarf which reminds me of sunny weather so much.

For shoes I would wear black flat boots as this a nice chilly outfit, but still fashionable.

I hope you have a fabulous day! How do you bring some colour in your colder spring outfits?

The Day I Ate My Bracelet

Hey guys!!
Today I want to share with you my OOTD. I went on a very nice shopping tour, but before I have to tell you one thing:

When I arrived the station and I was buying a ticket for myself I just looked at my right hand, where put two bracelets this morning. And what do I see?? Just one tiny bracelet!!!!
I just wore some really beautiful cloth bracelets in an Indiana style which I bought from market in Switzerland. They were sooo beautiful!!! However, during my walk I haven't heard anything, I haven't felt anything on my arm and I haven't seen anything noticeable at the end. It seem to be probably that I might have eaten it in my dreaming period... otherwise it still has to on my arm... :D

The only hope is that we are going to spend our holidays in Switzerland this summer again, so I am able to buy this bracelet again... or maybe I should buy a ton of, because apparently I have an enormous hunger of bracelets while I'm dreaming :D:D:D

But here's my outfit (I thought it will be warmer this day):


Dress from H&M (bought it 2 years ago); Bag from Jake's/P&C
Jewellery:


Necklace from Accessorize ; My famous, surviving cloth bracelet
Makeup:


Very Simple, Mascara, Gel Eyeliner, Eyeshadow in my skin tone

Catrice Ultimate Shine Lipstick 110 Shy Flamingo -> intensive pink,coral lipstick with silver shimmer

Outfit Of The Day: Casual Summer

Hey guys!!

This is going to be a quick Outfit Of The Day. Today it was a really hot sunny day!
So here is my airy summer outfit. I have one more beachy and one more casual version for this with just an easy change.

This is how it looks like:





Short: H&M; Shirt:Zara; Flower: H&M; Bracelet: somewhere in Namibia :D

And the shoes are the change. Firstly you can were normal flip flop for the beach or a pool party like I did it! I wore some cool brown flip flops from H&M which have got a brown, braid leather string to hold the foot in place.

Or you can wear some real cool Chucks for the more edgy, casual look:



On my eyes I just wore my Summer Goddess Tutorial which you can find here!
My hair was in a really elegant up-do, which reminds me of a rose, and I featured it with a big flower.




And my earring where some really classic ones, like these:
