With Coachella just around the corner and the upcoming festival season I decided to post a summery throwback look alongside some festival fashion and survival tips !
While I personally have not yet been to Coachella ( someone take me please ? ) I love festivals and went to Lollapalloza Berlin last year.
I adored it - embracing the music, finally being able to wear all the glitter in the world without being judged and taking a dive into the bold bohemian and fun festival fashion world ? I mean isn´t this a dream come true !? A whole weekend of feeling free and being whoever you want to be!
I had so much fun with my friends as we danced day and night away to the tunes of some of the best musical artists ever <3
I will never ever forget the epic experience of being pretty much front and center as the `Foo Fighters` performed - the wildest and best crowd I´ve ever been in! It was insane ... rocking on for 2 hours straight even though we had already been raving at Lolla for more than 10 hours so tell me about exhaustion and bleeding feet... still we were super energized! I loved every second of it... pure excitement and one hell of an adrenaline rush <3
We also saw `The XX`, Ann-Marie, `Mumford and Sons`, `George Ezra`, `Materia`, `Beatsteaks`, Ànnenmaykanterei`and many more <3 they all were amazing!
SO HERE IS MY SURVIVAL GUIDE:
1. Stay hydrated and make sure to hoard food and always have something to eat in your bag ( ALWAYS! )
2. Avoid queuing... use acts you aren´t too interested in to use the restroom, get food, water,...!
3. Bring ear plugs, band aids, hand sanitizer,blistering plasters, pain killers and some extra glitter
4. Wear comfortable shoes ( my feet were hurting for ages after that weekend )
5. Have fun, be free, wild and unbothered and enjoy the experience <3
6. Wear what makes you feel good and something that allows you to move freely
MY FASHION TIPS:
1. fringes, feathers, leather and suede are your friends
2. anything boho or hippieish goes
3. embrace glitter, braids and bold makeup looks
4. wear skin jewelery / tatoos and lots of real jewelery
5. style white and earthy tones alongside some pops of colour
6. choose one statement piece
7. wear comfortable booties
8. bring shades
9. flowy flower prints
10. bring a small cross-body bag or belt bag
11. long or short vests to complete the look
12. and last but not least: Always stay true to your style !!!

I used to think skiing and looking fashionable at the same time was impossible ! I didn´t really mind it though... I was so used to not really loving my skiing outfits that I had become kind of indifferent to my looks whenever I hit the slopes.
But no more - first I found these dropdead gorgeous Bogner ski pants with their amazing snug fit. Next were the cool Billabong jacket and my favourite scarf that I purchased in beautiful france. And last but not least I finally found my perfect pink GIRO skiing googles after trying nearly a million different ones on. And of course I settled for an all pink monochromatic one... one that no one else seems to be rocking, which makes me even happier about my choice ! Add a statement turtleneck or pullover and you are good to go.
So yeah skiing in fashion is definetly possible even though it might take some time to assemble all the pieces for the perfect outfit. Looks might not matter too much when you are skiing, but for me feeling content with my outfit made the whole experience more worthwhile and exciting !!!
Also be aware that if you ever see a pink flash passing you by on the slopes at least according to my family it is probably me ! With my superfast Völkl racing skis nothing is more fun than racing down the slopes at a good speed ( safety first though ) <3

Still I like winter !!! When I think of it so many happy memories come to my mind. I think of warm fuzzy sweaters, freshly baked cookies, christmas or the rowdy snowball fights with my childhood best friend in the park. Given the fact that this friend was a guy and almost felt like a brother to me... these fight could get pretty rough, but were always in good fun. We had such fun together <3
So NO I do not hate winter, I like it ! I might not reallyenjoy the cold (at all) or waking up to a pitch-black sky in the morning, nevertheless I don´t mind it too much. There are just too many positive memories coming to my mind that I associate with winter to be bothered by those inconveniences. Also I personally don´t think that winter affects me or my mood negatively (or at least I like to pretend that). Though I get why winter in the city can kinda suck at times... with the pure powdery snow turning into a brown wet muddy something within seconds.
But you can always take look at the bright side and choose to enjoy it. Tackle winter fashionably and let it brighten your day (quite literally speaking). I for example splurged all my savings for this kenzo sweater and couldn´t be happier with my choice !
So look at the bright side and make a fashion-dream or two come true !!! <3

Being all warm and fashionable at the same time is impossible ?
That´s what I thought, but no longer ! I found the perfect winter jacket... one that doesn´t just do the job, but also looks good doing it.
Fur jackets and parkers seem to be the thing of the moment, every day when I walk through Berlin I see a million of them . While I like the way they look I didn´t want to look just like everyone else.
The reason I instantly klicked with this parker is,because it is the same but different ! Something no one else has and a "very me" piece of clothing at that.
Even back in the days in school when I wore a similar item of clothing as others I usually went for a piece that stood out from the rest ( I still do ). To put it nicely the reactions to my wardrobe were mixed.
In 7th grade for instance I managed to persuade my parents into buying me UGG Boots after begging for ages. I found the perfect pair, they were purple and I was so proud of them. All the other girls wore them in brown, grey or black tho. Personally I was far from being the cool kid in a "mean girls" worthy class. Therfore the happiness over my new awesome boots was quickly tainted by vile comments, judging looks and questions whether "I really wanted to wear ´that´?". Appearently I was wearing my UGG´s the wrong colour ! The list carries of experiences likes this goes on and on. Up to the point where I would stand in dressing rooms and not buy the stuff I loved because I feared wearing it to school.
It would be wrong to say that it did not hurt, but I grew on these experiences and they make me stronger for who I am !
Happily these days are over and I am well past giving a shit about other people judging me or my sense of fashion ( mostly ) and go for what I want. Personally I often know exactly what I want to buy and keep looking until I find it. Don´t ever settle for anything less than perfection and only go for what YOU want. Most importantly don´t listen to others... haters are gonna hate - chances are they are just jealous !
I am well aware that this post might seem a bit out of place... as this is not exactly the most winter appropriate outfit.
WINTER and I have a love/ hate relationship - I love the snow part and going skiing, but I don´t really enjoy it when my city is all rainy, foggy and cold. I mean in winter there are good and bad days, but today was certainly not a good one ! Fog, wind, rain and cold temperatures. So I thought : warm thoughts could help... therfore this summer look ! I swear I almost feel the sun on my skin just now - Hopefully looking at these summery pictures helps fight your winter blues as well !
For now I have decided to blog in english instead of german. Please leave feedback if you would like me to change that or if you have any ideas or requests on posts you want to see in the near future ;)
FINALLY ! And the journey begins ...
It really is about time that I start blogging as I am looking to use this blog as an outlet for my creativity and share my passion for fashion with all of you.
I am super excited and can´t wait to get my blog going !
