Wishlist: Summer Inspiration

Summer is finally around the corner (what took you so long, man?) and after a stressful week I finally got around to doing something fun and relaxing: creating a summer wishlist. It's something I love to do for the beginning of a new season as it always helps me to get into the right mood for this new part of the year :) Summer is my favorite season after all so I'm already dreaming of warm nights spent by the lake under the starry sky :) So I thought I'd share my summer inspiration with you guys. Enjoy!

Back from the dead with my FAV (!!!) outfit of the past few months. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this was my most-worn outfit until very recently (when spring finally decided to make a move). When I shot this look a couple of days ago it was still very weather-appropriate and I was initially planning to name the look "Ice Age" :D

So let's get right into it: the tassle dress (link above) is such a lifesaver and an item I desperately needed. You might ask why as I only have about 84527495521 black dresses already. I'll tell you :D It's the perfect dress to look stylish and be super comfy at the same time. I ordered a size M as I really opted for a loose fit that doesn't cling to the body. With the loose fit and the midi-length it's definitely a lot more on the cool and laid-back rather than the sexy side. Although dresses would usually not be your go-to items if you wanna be comfy this one definitely is! Also, it's perfect for weather that's neither hot nor cold due to its length and the various layering options here. What's more: I'm usually not a fan of midi-length dresses as they tend to make me look short (I'm not tall. No, seriously, I'm not.) but not this one. With those tassles it has a very flowy look to it that completely prevents the unfortunate-length-short-legs-syndrom (I have to come up with a shorter name for that.). Also, the tassles look super cute and give the whole outfit an instant boho twist :) I immediately thought of pairing it with my little wild west tassle bag which is such a fav of mine as well. I added a long cardigan I bought second hand at a market this winter for literally almost no money. This was such a lucky find as it really kept me alive during the cold season. The boots I got at a swap event last year and I've been wearing them countless times ever since. And although black + brown is one of the trickiest color combos I simply can't get enough of it. Once you've figured out how to do it it opens up so many new outfit possibilities.

Wow, this post is kinda long already. I guess it would be smart to actually write an extra post to talk about last week's adventures that included Virtual Reality rollercoasters, video games and heaps of food :) Stay tuned guys!

Have an awesome week xx

Outfit: Talk is cheap

Black and white dress: not in stores yet ~ Platform sandals: River Island ~ 3D printed eclipse necklace: The Rogue + The Wolf

I wore this dress for a model job recently and the very moment I put it on I loved it. I never owned a dress like this one before and I never would've thought it could suit me. However, it looks kinda good. Sometimes I love to wear pieces like this one and pretend I'm an adult :D No, seriously, it has such an elegant, timeless, grown-up look to it. With the hat it makes me feel like a lady attending a horse race or a game of polo on a lovely spring day.
I paired it with some platform sandals to elongate the legs. This is important with this dress as it hugs the body very tightly so heels can make all the difference between having hourglass curves and just looking short and chubby.
I also put on one of my very fav necklaces, which is this crescent moon necklace from The Rogue + The Wolf. Can't wait to wear this dress out on the next formal occasion :)

This week was pretty stressful hence the lack of updates. I won't be at home most of the time next week so I pretty much had to get my to dos of two weeks done in just one week. This includes several uni projects, work and booking airbnbs for next week. Of course I also caught a cold (because we're living in a f...ing Ice Age here at the moment) and of course there's the new season of Game of Thrones which might not seem like such a priority for many but... ... ... real fans will understand :D

Alrighty, watch my Instagram next week to get some updates on what's going on!

Outfit & jewelry: What if tomorrow never comes

Triangle Necklace: Rings & Tings ~ Bracelets: Rings & Tings ~ White dress: SheIn ~ Belt: vintage ~ Faux leather jacket: H&M, similar here ~ Lace collar: DIY ~ Socks: Topshop ~ Platforms: Salt & Pepper, similar here

Okay guys, so this time everything's a little different: I guess usually you would put an outfit together and then decide how to accessorize it. With this outfit it was the other way round though. I got the jewelry pieces of my dreams at Rings & Tings recently (seriously, wait until you see the detail shots) and I just don't want to take them off anymore. So I thought hey... what would be the perfect outfit to go with these beautiful gems? And I came up with this look :)

I got a necklace, three bracelets and a ring there and they all have a black and/or silver color. That doesn't only make them the perfect accessories for a black and white look but it also means you can actually even wear them all at once and it looks simply amazing :)

So here they are...

Absolutely love the simple geometric structure of this necklace. It goes with absolutely everything! In this outfit I tried to create some contrast by pairing the triangle necklace with its strict lines with a delicate lace collar.

Now I wanted to get a spike ring like this for ages. As a computer science student most of the time I'm amongst guys, so the brofist is the standard way of greeting someone, In 9 out of 10 cases that's fine. And then there are those who just have to go overboard. But not anymore... Plus it simply looks super badass.

First of all - yep, my wrist is tiny and very scary. It's a genetic thing - we have this super skinny wrist family trait (thanks, Dad). But more importantly I have this super awesome faux leather bracelet <3 I love how it goes around the arm twice and has all those different details to it. It's one of those go-to pieces you can always grab to spice up any outfit within seconds.

High definition phone cameras are awesome but sometimes they capture more than we actually wanna see - like my goosebumps here telling the story of how f...reezing cold it is in Germany at the moment... Anyway. About 14 years ago I saw Avril Lavigne wear a similar belt bracelet and I totally wanted one. Yeah, it really took me 14 years to get one. But good things come to those who wait, right? :D I absolutely love how it looks like 5 bracelets and it also goes with A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!

And then there's this crescent moon bracelet. It was love at first sight as I absolutely love everything that has a moon shape or print. I'm actually surprised I didn't get it earlier :D I love to wear it with the belt bracelet to mix some different materials.

Now what do you think guys? Which item's your fave?

Outfit: I want goodness, I want sin

Dress: see text below ~ Platform sandals: River Island

Well guys, the good news is: I have this dress. It was a photography/model job so unfortunately the dress is not available in stores yet. But I got to keep it and I can't get over how pretty it is. I went to the theatre with my friends yesterday and I just HAD to wear it although the location didn't even require fancy attire this time :D With this dress less is definitely more. The gold lace against the black fabric is such an eye-catcher all by itself. I just paired it with a pair of black platform heels (sandals for the first time this year - yeah-ha!), a necklace and my hat. Also, not in the picture, my black kitty cat purse you are already familiar with :) As I stated a couple of times before - you can never have enough black dresses, right?

Now the bad news is: you don't even look that fancy in a fancy dress if you can't move your head acting like a swan that tied a knot into its neck. No idea what happened but I woke up with a completely stiff neck yesterday. The doctor prescribed me 10 massage sessions. Maybe it's not even that bad... ;)

Outfit: You're the real thing

Crop hoodie: H&M (old) ~ Distressed boyfriend jeans: Ann Christine ~ Platform boots: asos, similar here ~ Kitty purse: H&M (old)

This look has a lot of personal meaning to me. A while ago I may have told you about ripped-jeans-guy, a lecturer at my uni I've been crushing on for at least a billion years. He got me obsessed with distressed denim and after quite some time he is back in my life now. So I somehow felt like creating an outfit that looked like... him (yeah, this is super weird but me being in love is such a rare phenomenon. No clue how to deal with this :D ). It was always hard for me to find the perfect distressed boyfriend jeans though. So when I saw my friend Claudia wear this beauty this week I just needed to get it. I'm a huge fan of boyfriend jeans with lace tights underneath because they give them an unexptected feminine twist. The crop hoodie I got last year at H&M in Amsterdam and I love how it's super short but still covers the hands. I added some platforms (so my legs wouldn't look too short in those pants) and my kitty purse which always looks cute and badass at the same time (just like a real cat). This is totally gonna be one of my "go-to looks" that'll always work for everyday life like uni or hanging out with friends.

Have the most amazing weekend, fellow adventurers!

Jewelry: Spring awakening

Hey lovelies!

I'm really excited for this post :) During the last week I was lucky enough to capture the transition from winter to spring with my camera while shooting some gorgeous new additions to my jewelry collection from MadamLili. They have the most awesome nature inspired jewelry and even items with real plants, seeds and flowers. And aren't those just the perfect accessories for spring?

So let me show you all those beautiful gems :)

I instantly fell in love with this agate-amethyst necklace. It's the perfect mixture of nature inspired and witchy and therefore it's the perfect companion for girls like me who are never sure whether they're a goth or a gypsy ;) Also, I love that it's real 925 Sterling Silver and super high quality <3

I topped off the outfit with this stunning subtle bracelet. Quite recently I noticed that I really don't have a wide range of bracelets although I actually like them. The reason I got this one is that it's super beautiful without screaming for attention. I like the feminine and grown-up look it has to it. Because of its subtlety it's an everyday piece as well as an accessory for more elegant attire.

These are real actual seeds! I absolutely love how much effort the people at MadamLili must have put into making jewelry from a material as delicate as this. When I look at this pendant it feels like I can see the dendalion seeds dancing through the spring air :) Doesn't this make you dream of picnics and walking barefoot through the grass? I also love that black absolutely isn't the obvious choice for a background color here. But it matches all my clothes :3

This is a bit of a premiere for me as I don't think I owned any Asian inspired jewelry before. For some mysterious reason this necklace instantly reminded me of Rei Hino from Sailor Moon. Somehow I thought this would be something she'd wear :) It's such an eyecatcher when worn with a black top - it really spices up any plain monochrome outfit!

This necklace is another favorite of mine from this haul. With this piece of moss enshrined in a necklace I can carry a piece of nature wherever I go :) It also reminds me of both a pocket watch and one of these hypnosis pendulums (is that what you call them?) - which makes the necklace look even more magical. There will definitely be an outfit post featuring this beauty as it's not necessarily just a spring item.

When I went for a walk last week on the first warm day this year I also spotted the very first tree in full bloom (it was actually the one in the picture :D). It must have looked like I was trying to inhale the blossoms but I was so happy that after this rather long winter spring is really finally happening. Unfortunately I can't and shouldn't wear the tree as jewelry but I got matching earrings! I usually wear rather plain earrings as long ones would get caught in my hair, especially when it's super windy like on the day these pictures were taken. So these flower earrings are the perfect choice as they super practical while totally getting me in the spring mood und looking super cute!

What do you guys think? Which item is your fav? If you're interested in getting these beautiful nature inspired pieces check out MadamLili's website. Also, at the moment you can get a free pair of earrings with your order over 25 € (until April 5th!).

Have a great Sunday everyone!
