Deus Store in Los Angeles

A very stylish store which also has a cafe is the Deus store in Los Angeles. Especially if you interested in motorbikes and stylish clothing this is a very good place to go. Also recommended for breakfast- which we did :)

Kimono blouses

We've spent 2 weeks in California this Easter ( this is one of the reasons you haven't heard from me for a while :) ) and one of the thing I have bought there and which I think is going to be a new trend this summer are Kimono blouses. The are so stylish and easy to combine with different things, jeans and a white t-shirt and this blouse or shorts like in this picture:

As soon as the rain stops and it's warmer outside I'll take some pictures of myself to show you the ones I bought.

Have a good start into the new week!

VILA Clothes

When I was in Stockholm in december, I found a new brand: VILA. They have modern and very stylish items. Even though it is certainly too cold outside for this dress at the moment, I couldn't resist. Maybe it's the longing for summer, maybe it's just that I need something new that reminds me of summer in my wardrobe. I look forward to the postman bringing it :)

Blouse with tie

My favorite this autumn are blouses with ties. This is something you can wear at work and you still look feminine. Even when having a business meeting with men, I always choose something feminine to combine it with a suit: Ties, peter pan collars or cap sleeves:

Sporty

I've never been a super active and sporty girl. While others went to the gym or had their team sports, I've always preferred different things like food for example. I simply enjoy baking or cooking more than running and lifting heavy weights and I was lucky to never gain weight. So I've only trained a little every now and then and always found a good excuse not to go.

Last week my company has given free gym memberships to some of their employees for 1 year- I was one of the "lucky" winners. So I've been in the gym to have a look at it and wow I didn't know that even the gym fashion had changed that much! There I was in my old fashioned bootleg shaped gym pants -the latest fashion from 5 years ago- with a washed out t-shirt between all these girls with their leggings and loose-fit tops and top styling, sticking out like a soar thumb.

In my daily life I'm up-to-date with the latest fashion, so I've decided to buy a new gym pant, like the one on the picture:

Maybe this will motivate me to do more sports as it is not as flattering as my old gym pant :)

Autumn fashion

It's high time to put away all summer clothes and to move it to the rear part of my closet and to transform from the breezy summer clothing to warmer and heavier winter clothing. While I pulled out the coats and sweaters, I found some items that I have kept for years and I haven't had them on one single day, like my turtleneck pullover with short sleeves, very nice but always uncomfortable as it is too cold during winter and too hot during summer. I guess you also have some of these items, right? And then there are thing that you wear most of the time during winter and they are really worn but you can't get rid of them because they are so cosy or have a special memory. For me switching from summer to winter also means deciding what to keep and what to give to my younger sister who is always happy when I tidy up my closet. And the best thing is you create new space for this year's autumn fashion.... :)

FRIDAY!

What a week! I'm so happy that it's friday! I've spent most of my time in the office at 38 °C without air-conditioning (as we have one of the largest projects for a big company right now), then in the Registry Office or in a photo booth creating horrible passport pictures, looking for nice thank you cards, editing wedding pictures and the rest of my time I tried to get some sleep. I didn't know that you had to change so many things after your wedding! Still many things to change but at least half of it is done. The only thing that is strange for me is to answer the telephone with my new last name, I need to fully concentrate and still I tell or write my old last name. But I guess I will soon get used to it.
Just a few days left and I'm going to Sweden and Denmark for the wedding of my Danish friend and I'm looking for a dress, as she doesn't want her guests to wear black and all of my dresses are either black or white! :) I found these dresses:

This one is nice too:

or that? But this one might bee to close to white?

I will need to go to the city tomorrow... I'll show you my choice :)

New H&M Styles

I like loose fit, the absolutely best thing to wear when you like it comfortable. The slim fit jeans can sometimes be too tight and hot during summer and I prefer the Chino Style at the moment. And you can even wear it at work: just change the t-shirt into a blouse, put it into the jeans and use a belt and wear high heals.

This is a very nice and light version of a denim dress, even though I would wear a braun leather belt and sandals together with it:

I'll definitely go shopping in Berlin in some stores ;)

Insight t-shirt

One of my favorite clothing brands is Insight. I like their style very much, here you see me wearing a t-shirt from Insight with a Peace sign saying "I wish I was an anarchy symbol". The t-shirts have a loose fit, which I like very much and are very different from other brands I know. The clothing is very art- inspired and stylish. 

The jeans short I'm wearing is from Billabong and also one of my favorite items from my wardrobe. I hope that the weather will be better so that I can wear it soon. :)

Noa Noa Collection 2013

Noa Noa is one of my favorite brands, the outfits are simple but so beautiful. They mostly use pastel colours and are from Denmark. When I'm in Denmark I always go to the Noa Noa outlet in Copenhagen, because they also sell the items from home collection, which are very hard to get here in Munich. This is the new Noa Noa collection for 2013:

I especially like the apricot dress and the cap sleeve shirt. I think about buying one of them this summer :)

Berlin Fashion Week Tradeshows - Bright 2013

I promised to send you an update of my day. I've been on many different fashion shows today and met a lot of people. Tradeshows are very interesting and you meet a lot of new people, but at the same time you walk a thousand miles without knowing it and you forget about time and forget about food. That's why I will order all the dishes on the menu of the Transit restaurant today. :) These are some of the pictures I took at the Bright 2013 tradeshow:

As I work in an agency that does the marketing for many fashion brands, I was invited to come to this tradeshow. It's very interesting to see all the new collections and people are very friendly. I'll give you more details about the trends at a later time.

As Tim is with me on this trip we will go to the Transit restaurant now and meet some friends that live in Berlin. Looking forward to it!

Peter Pan Collar Pullover from H&M

After Christmas, H&M had a big sale on their website and of course I found something: A pullover with a Peter Pan Collar. Always wanted to have one, because I think they look so nice and you look nice in it. As soon as it will get warmer here in Munich, I'm going to wear it together with my jeansjacket. I like to mix different styles and it's also perfect for work. I bought it in black and white:

But this wasn't all of it. I don't know why, but each time I buy something from H&M, I also add a pjyamas trouser to the chart. I have all of them: check, pink, striped, dotted, multicoloured and unicoloured...  I'm guess, I'm a pyjamaniac :)


Have a good day,

H & M Biker jacket for 2013

H&M have some nice new items on their website, I especially like this Biker jacket:

Cocoon cardigans

One of the things I wear the most now that it has gotten very cold is cocoon cardigans. The name itself already tells you the way it looks. It so cozy and warm and still nice to wear if you are inside and the heating is turned on. And I think it really looks great to skinny jeans and ugg boots, but you can also wear it as part of a business outfit.

or wear it to a dress:

Wearing a denim shirt in winter

I don't know how you feel, but for me it's easier to combine the right outfit in summer. During winter I tend to wear things that just comfortable like long cardigans or ugg boots. I also like to wear denim shirts and for summer this is a nice combination:

But I need a combination for now. For autumn or winter, this is a good combination and you could also wear a olive-green parka together with it.

Cowgirl and Aztec style

Found this nice picture while looking for the new fashion styles for 2013. Even though I blog a lot about furniture and recipes I'm also very interested in fashion. I've been on the Fashion Week in Berlin this summer, some of the new Aztec and Cowboy/-girl patterns and styles are really great. And I think about buying some moccasin ankle boots now even if I will not be able to wear them very often the next month...
