low back

Back to black. I think this is one of the first black and white posts I ever made. Dunno, just found it kinda   appropriate, since the weather is still a mess - did you noticed the raindrops? (memo: rain remains, grandma's glasses return) and it's been a week now since the death of Amy Winehouse... I can't help but think that black and white photographs always create their very own atmosphere and may be even more expressive than colored ones ... enough the melancholy, though. 

no plucked chicken

Big bag theory. The first time I presented - full of joy, mind you - this feather something to my parents (some years ago), they burst out laughing and my dad added sarcastically: "well, so plucked chicken is the new chic or what?" ... Obviously, it's (almost) unnecessary to say that I wore the bag only once or twice since, put it in a box then and never ever looked after it again (actually, I absolutely forgot about it) - till today, when I literally stumbled over (I was tidying up my room ;) hehe) and re-fell in love with it! So what do you think? Like?

THE BOOTS

Edelman. I could kick myself for not buying them sooner, but then, shortly before striking out, the reason for that awful mistake came up my mind, like a flash of genius, a brainwave out of the blue: this little Balenciaga-like perfection also known as Zoe boots by Sam Edelman aren't just any boots, they're THE BOOTS, which were literally blogged to death! In short: they were sold out all over the globe! Now, who should be judged? Well, frankly, nobody, 'cause you know what? (and now, get your credit cards, lovelies, sit down, lean back and make yourself comfortable - oh, and don't forget to keep your eyes wide shut *wink*blink*) THE ARE BACK (plus their little sister, black/almond)! MAJOR!

So it only remains to say: dear Mr. Edelman, thank you so so so sooo much for stocking up again those major booties!

PS: of course, I couldn't resist to order them! Can't wait!!

Grandma's Glasses

Diva. The weather is still too much of a diva and acts as if it was April. So I decided to don't give a damn and shoot in the rain - very topmodel like huh? HAHA no just kidding ... maybe you've already noticed my serious face ^^ - anyways, I wonder if the sun ever decides to show up again, just once in a while - I could really use a sun kiss right now. But hey, no pain no gain, at least I could whip on my super cool Italian trench coat, which I haven't worn in a pretty long time. What do you think about it?

rainy baby pink

Munich. I just came home from a day trip to Munich. Well, as you can see the weather was a mess - not to mention the fact that we had no umbrella and didn't manage to buy just anyone - but hey, we still had a great time fooling around, hopping from Starbucks to Starbucks and running from shop to shop - at least we didn't melt in the rain and I even scored a basic low back body at A.A. - so double yay for that!! Moreover, I was cosily wrapped in my mother's oversized baby pink cashmere sweater (which I absolutely DID appreciate). 

NEW IN

SALES. I exchanged the Isabel Marant-esque Zara boots, which I've posted some days ago, for these lovelies, above. Obviously, they are way more Marant-ish AND I also scored them in the sales at Zara (frankly, a real bargain, I got them for about 30€ and actually, they were about 90€ - gotta loooove the sales!)

Have an amazing weekend!

DIESEL RETURNS

Happy Birthday (to me). Yesterday, I celebrated my 19th birthday with my family, which was nothing but lovely! I enjoyed that quality time to the fullest and I have to admit by and by that I'm a real family guy (much more than I ever thought). The birthday bash with friends is yet to come, though - be prepared!! ;)

Anyways, I got this A-M-A-Z-I-N-G boyfriend jeans by Diesel Black Gold...

Classics

Must-Have. I can't help but think that denim shorts (in any cut and color) are THE perfect item for a casual, yet fashionable summer outfit. They are absolutely timeless, easy to match (just add some cute accessories or a special top) and make you look effortlessly cool and super stylish - in short: a must-have in every woman's closet. What do you think?

Cosy and Hot

Outfit: wedges ZARA, belt Moschino, blouse Patrizia Pepe, cable knit shorts Stolen Girlfriends Club

Mix and Match. For this outfit (above) I mixed some brand new summer items, some well-known classics and a beloved goodie, which I bought last winter. Well, to be perfectly frank, it was extremely hot  in those New Zealand cable knit shorts, they made me feel like butter melting in a hot pan - otherwise, maybe that was because of my crazy moves *haha, who knows* Anyways, I just looove this outfit combo - I'm oh so into the color matching and well, the important thing is that you feel comfy, yet stylish in it. Apparently, it's all in the mix, huh?!

PS: the day after tomorrow is my birthday! I'm sooo excited - like a 5 year old, actually I'm turning nineteen - I could dance all day and night long! What about you? Are you a birthday lover or pooper?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Summer Hippie Love

Relaxing. I'm enjoying my vacations to the fullest: lying in the sun, browsing through fashion magazines, drinking  iced coffee and meeting friends - that's exactly how I spent the last few days... frankly, what more do you want? ...

Kissing Doves

Vacation. I took the exams yesterday and now I finally have vacations for - believe it or not - THREE MONTHS! How cool is that? I don't know yet what to do with the precious time but at the moment I'm just hanging around and enjoy doing nothing!
