Outfit: We don't need no thought control



The wall top: Fiorella ~ Faux leather jacket: H&M ~ Black maxi skirt: Dressgal ~ Socks: Topshop ~ Shoes: Salt and Pepper

I almost died when I spotted this The Wall top at Fiorella. The Wall is one of my fav albums so I just had to get this top. I already had the perfect combo in mind when I ordered it - pairing this band tee with a faux leather jacket for some rock n' roll vibes and a long skirt, ruffled socks and platform heels for a feminine and witchy twist. This outfit is just so clean, flawless and badass that I'd probably consider it one of my favourite outfits so far :)

By the way, this The Wall top isn't my first Pink Floyd top :3

Outfit: Wish that I could be like the cool kids



Addicted crop top: Fiorella ~ Mesh kimono: Dressgal ~ Denim skater skirt: H&M ~ Socks: Fiorella ~ Platform sandals: Fiorella

I am absolutely in love with this crop top. Although and because people are always staring whenever I'm wearing it :D No, seriously, I don't even do drugs. I'd always invest my money in awesome clothes instead. I just really really like the creativity behind the design. The top is from Fiorella Shop and they just have the most amazing items and the loveliest staff :) After I ordered some items I drove my surroundings crazy by constantly talking about the order and the awesome stuff I got :D
I didn’t want the look to get too sporty so I chose to wear a short skirt and those absolutely amazing fantastic white platform sandals. I dreamed of white platforms for ages and this is the very first pair I got *.* Despite their height they are extremely comfy.
The mesh kimono is from Dressgal and it’s another item I longed to get for a long time. It’s the perfect choice in summer when just wearing a top is a little too boring while wearing a jacket/kimono/cardigan is a little too hot. I thought it matched the badass attitude of this outfit :3

Outfit: A reason to stay, a reason to go



Black crop top: Dresslink ~ Skirt: DIY ~ Platform heels: Salt and Pepper ~ See-through kimono: H&M

I recently noticed that there was one very important item missing in my wardrobe: a plain, simple black crop top. So I got this one from Dresslink and it's exactly what I had been looking for - very comfy, soft fabric and endless possibilities to wear it. I'm actually wearing it right now while I'm writing this post :D Now the obvious way (I guess) to style this top would be in a casual, grungy way and that's also what I do most of the time. I decided to try something different for this look though and created a more elegant outfit with a couple of grunge elements like the fishnet tights and the platforms. Now some of you might say: "Hey, I have pillows/curtains/dishtowels that look exactly like your skirt!" That's what happened when Lookbook.nu posted one of my outfits featuring this DIY skirt on their Facebook page :D Yep guys, it's made from IKEA fabric!

Outfit: I am what's left of the youth



Distressed denim pants: Dresslink ~ Tassels crop top: Dresslink ~ Faux leather jacket: H&M ~ Platform sandals: Deichmann

So there was this lecturer guy at my uni... I actually don't wanna talk about him anymore but he was the one who made me fall in love with distressed denim because he didn't wear anything else ever. To be honest I completely lost interest in undistressed denim. If I am for some reason forced to buy a regular pair of jeans I distress them myself at home with scissors and tweezers :D Now many people, including my own dad of course, don't understand why I would pay money for something that is technically already destroyed. Well, I guess it's human nature to want what we don't have. And the rich, well-fed, well-protected 90s kids from Rainbowunicornpokemonland just crave destruction and rawness. At least in their fashion, movies and video games. Making nice looking clothes look nice is like fishing in a goldfish bowl. Making destroyed garments look awesome and interesting - that's the real challenge. Enough philosophy for today. I love to pair distressed pants with delicate lace tights and heels for a bit of contrast. The light top with tassels adds a bit of a beachy feel while the faux leather jacket and the hat bring the look back to it's rock n' roll kind of vibe. You know, I love outfits that can't be pigeonholed. This is an outfit that can easily be dressed up or down depending on what your plans are by exchanging the heels for flats, the crop top for a band tee, the leather jacket for a boho jacket and so on. The possibilities are endless ;)

Outfit: What's killing us inside



Bitch craft crop top; Killstar ~ School girl skirt: DIY ~ Backpack: Tally Weijl ~ Ruffled socks: Topshop ~ Platform sandals: Deichmann

I had been obsessing over this Bitch craft crop top for a long time when I finally got it in the Black Friday sale at Killstar. Rebelcircus shared this outfit on their Instagram captioning it with: "Bitchcraft - the art of pissing people off while smiling sweetly." I really liked this :D I would love to wear this top far more often but then again I'm always unsure if people in Germany will get the pun. They will probably just read "bitch". Of course a top that says bitchcraft has to be paired with the most innocent school girl skirt and white ruffled socks. And they have to be paired with distressed tights and platform heels. As you guys know I'm the biggest fan of clashing different styles. The skirt was a DIY project of mum and me - we've been sewing heaps of skirts together. My mum even has a stencil that says  "Liza skirt" :D

Outfit: We're all mad here



Cat t-shirt: Brat&Suzie ~ Black skirt: H&M ~ See-through skirt: Topshop ~ Kitty purse: H&M ~ Kitty velvet choker: Etsy ~ Ruffled socks: Topshop ~ Platform sandals: Deichmann ~ Kitty cat: not for sale

Today I have the honor of introducing you to my cute little shooting partner who turned out to be a very talented and patient model :3
For a very long time I was very much against those “XY made me do it” prints. I just saw them way too often and most of them just bored me. Yep, we all got that Coco made you do it - can we just move on now? Then I saw this one and changed my mind. Just because this cute little fellow really has the ability to make me do things I wouldn’t do for anyone else. It’s some kind of magic power cats possess naturally I guess :D Anyway, this lovely t-shirt is from bratandsuzie.com and I guess it’s a must-have for cat-lovers like myself.
I decided to follow through with the cat lady theme and paired it with two (!) witchy skirts, a hat and, of course,with my muchly loved kitty purse and kitty velvet choker. Still, with this colourful print t-shirt the outfit doesn’t look too dark or serious.

Outfit: Cat of the Canals



Distressed cat jumper: Dresslink ~ Ruffled socks: Topshop ~ Iridescent platforms: Vagabond


I wanted to get this distressed kitty sweater for such a long time (I'm a total cat person) and I absolutely don't regret it. It's super light and therefore the perfect choice for spring and autumn days, cool summer mornings/nights or cloudy days. Absolutely love the distressed details as they make the whole item just a little bit more interesting. The Vagabond shoes with iridescent toecaps were love at first sight. I went to a store with a friend who wanted to get some sandals and I wasn't intending to buy anything. (It always starts like this... :D) Then I saw these babies. I told myself that it's early summer and therefore far too warm for them. I told myself that I already have several pairs of similar shoes but...  to no avail. I tried them on and they looked as if I were born in them. They were also 30% off. The staff laughed about me and my moral dilemma but yeah... here I am wearing them and they're just perfect. They also go very well with my beloved ruffled socks from Topshop that just add a little extra to plain tights.
