Mix and Match Pattern

Pattern Mix or Mustermix, is a trend I have been really liking. It feels like everything is possible with pattern mix. But I would try to mix pattern that match and don't compete. It also helps if you stay in the same color palette. So have fun and dig out your old favorites and find new ways to mix and match! :-)

New Discovery: Darling

Recently, while shopping in a department store back home,I discovered this London Brand Darling. 
After doing some research, I found out that Darling was founded in 2008 by London Designer Nadia Moraes. The fashion is vintage inspired with the British touch. The collection features dresses, blouses and skirts which are very feminine with many details such a lace or  peplum. :-)
I really like this collection and picked some of my favs below!

Suit Up

Small prints have been trendy for a while, but this new take on small printed suits is new to me. I am really liking this way to mix prints but still look so chic and stylish! :-)

Fall 2012: Black and White Prints

After a colorful summer with Pastels and Neon, I am excited to have discovered the black and white print on the Fall Runway shows. The black and white combo is elegant but each print will be girly, chic or sexy. So go get yourself some prints! :-)

Floral Obessesion

I am back on blogging. :-)

   

 My current obession this summer has been Floral Prints in vibrant summer colors. I love to wear them with colored skinny, jeans or a nice skirt. It gives your look an instant chicness.  


 Looking at the Runway shows for Fall 2012 I was happy to see more floral. They still seem be major! Flowers come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, so no wonder they are still enhancing the femininity of various designs from dresses to skirts, blouses and pants. Dont be afraid to choose bold colors, like multicolored floral prints, tiny or supersized or go subtle with fall earth tone floral designs that subtly add more detail to your stylish fashion ensemble. 

 

The Burberry Life 2012

While everyone else is still living in 2011, the Fashion World has already moved to 2012.
I am always curious to see what designers bring for their Resort Collections and so far I am fasinated by Burberry Prorsum Resort Collection 2012.

It is a great mix of Brights and Nude Tones and keeping its classic styles such high waist cuts and masculine trench coats. But nevertheless, showing new innovative colors ( how much do we love this Honey and Prussian Blue) and pattern, making us excited to see what Bailey will bring for Spring 2012.

Summer Dreams with Chloé

While browsing Sarah's Blog I found these pics! Chloé's Summer 2011 Ad Campaign with Iselin Steiro & Malgosia Bela. ~A Summer Dream in White and Beige~

Plié, Jeté, Pas de bourrée

"We all know the story. Virginal girl, pure and sweet, trapped in the body of a swan. She desires freedom, but only true love can break the spell. Her wish is nearly granted in the form of a prince. But before he can declare his love, her lustful twin, the Black Swan, tricks and seduces him. Devastated the White Swan leaps off a cliff, killing herself and in death finds freedom."

There is nothing more beautiful and graceful than watching a Primaballerina dancing her solo. The movie Black Swan is my inspiration for these two outfits. I love this ballett inspirate trend, which is great for a classic, girly and romantic look.

I love wearing dresses. Today I stopped by Zara and got the black and white dresses on sale. I like them since they are flowy and very different from the dresses I usually have. Few weeks ago, while I was shopping with my girlfriends they convinced me to buy a brown fake-leather dress. Still need to figure out there I can wear it!! But I do love leather. ;-)

And I really need to go back to work because I have been shopping too much and really doesn't help that there are Sales everywhere..... but then I do need new cloth as a soon-to-be real working girl! :-)

and Dear J.Crew will you please just open a store in Germany? I Miss you.

Some of my personal favs.

AW 2010: Camel

Fall in Frankfurt

The leaves are changing color on the trees and the sound of the morning wind while walking to work every morning. I love this time of the year and I love Camel.

Camel is classic and warm. As seen on the runway, MaxMara or Chloe. This fall is all about camel or nude. Just today, I purchased this great Camel Coat from H&M (and it was a great deal)!!!! I cannot wait to wear it with some great boots and white crispy shirt. :-)

Have fun with your cloth also during the cold windy days and stay warm!

Zara, H&M, MaxMara

Fall Trend: Blues and Purples

Tommy Hilfiger, MarcoPolo, Zara, A&F and Rugby Ralph Lauren

The fall is here and it is time for us to embrace some deep colors in our closets. Already seen at the Golden Globes this year, eggplant is in and navy is not just for summer days. Girls, set little color accents in your look and boys, these colors are not just for girls. (I personally love navy and deep purple tones, so no surprise that I am wearing a purple knit cardigan as I’m writing this and have my short BR navy blue jacket with me today ^^)

Purple: the eggplant color is perfect for both warm weather and cooler fall. This aubergine tone is the right blend of blue red which is perfect for every outfit!

Navy Blue: Classic. Paired up with a crispy white shirt it can look sophisticated and elegant. But this color mixed in plaid shirts and Jeans, creates the casual preppy collegiate look.

The Yellow Stars on the Fashion Sky

Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, Richard Chai, Phillip Lim, Thakoon Panichgul, Peter Som -

these are the names that are being printed next to Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen on the list this years New York Fashion Week. It is the fashion era of the Gaysians!

Michelle Obama for sure has a love for the Gaysians. Her princess-like, white one shoulder Inauguration gown was designed by Jason Wu and she wore the Radzimir kimono dress from Thakoon Panichgul's pre-spring 2009 collection as her husband delivered his Presidential nomination acceptance speech in Denver.

Unlike the 80s designers Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, today's young Asian-American designer's aim is to attract a broad mainstream with their collection. Jason Wu is a mix of modernity but a hint of couture and Phillip Lim takes classic looks into the modern days.

Let's see what new surprices these young designers will bring us at during this year's New York Fashion Week!

Gaga's Little Japanese Monsters

Lady Gaga has not only influenced the music world, but she has also revolutionized the fashion world. Her Leotards, sunglasses and crazy hairstyles has become her signature look.

Japan is a country that is also known for its fast moving and crazy street style fashion. Lady Gaga's trend of big hair bows has been popular in Japan for several years! I was fascinated by these Japanese Gaga fans and their over-the-top fashion! It's a perfect mashup of Gaga and Japanese Style (Lolita Gaga, Mori-Girl Gaga, Shibuya Gal Gaga etc.). Are you feeling Gaga?

Man with Style

After watching the Soccer World Cup games over the last week now I have to say that Germany has the best dressed coach out of all the nations. Joachim Loew knows how to impress. Ever since the World Cup in 2006, we all know about his standard, classy, form fitted but yet very stylish look of white button shirt from Strenesse, which now is even named after him. This year Streneese is the official fashion sponsor for the Germany's national team and has also launched a World Cup fashion line, recognized by the three stars in the colors of black, red and gold.

And also this year Mr. Loew does not fail to impress. During the first game against Australia he was spotted wearing a blue V-neck Cashmere sweatshirt, again from Strenesse, and during the game against Serbia, Jogi was wearing a stylish black cardigan.

We can only be excited to see what Jogi will be wearing on Wednesday when Germany will be facing Ghana, its last game before the next round.

Looking for the perfect outfit for Wednesday: Strenesse World Cup Fashion. I personally love the sheer scarf in the colors of black, red and gold!

GO Deutschland.
