Outfit: I'm good I'm gone


Long college jacket: CNDirect ~ Socks: Fiorella ~ Platform sandals: Fiorella

I was looking for a long college jacket for such a long time but never found one that I liked. I finally got this one and it has the perfect length :) It goes so well with the socks and platforms from Fiorella, which are a perfect match anyway :) Generally this is a very "clean" look that doesn't need many accessories as it's on the sportier side anyway. I could totally imagine this outfit as a back to school look as it's easy to style with its long jacket for chillier mornings.

Thanks to my photographer Vivi who took the picture on the right :)

Outfit: Hero 'til the end of the night


Plaid shirt: CNDirect ~ Flash tattoos: StyleMoi ~ Platform sandals: Deichmann

May I introduce you to my most-worn item this summer: this fantastic blue-green plaid shirt :) As the summer was (and still is) unusually hot I actually preferred not to wear clothes at all :D In some situations it seemed necessary though so I just threw on this shirt. It has this effortless just-out-of-bed feel that is perfect for the summer holidays :) The shirt was also my loyal companion on my trip to Prague and during those long summer nights spent outside chatting and laughing and playing Cards Against Humanity. Following the age-old mantra "no pants - no problem" I decided to wear shorts so short that you can't see them :D It's just a good idea to wear them anyway in case you wanna sit down or something.
Another obsession of mine are flash tattoos. Remember those amazing little pictures from the 90s you had to press to your skin and then wet them with a washcloth? Yep, they're back :D Despite the fact that they're cool and easy to apply I'm currently using them to figure out what kind of tattoo(s) I'd like to get and where. Because I totally want tattoos, I just can't decide. This gorgeous feather tattoo really made me want a tattoo near the collar bone <3

Outfit: You see right through me


See-through jacket: Dresslink ~ Distressed denim shorts: Newdress ~ See-through bag: Dresslink ~ Sunglasses: Dresslink ~ Socks: Fiorella ~ Platform sandals: Deichmann ~ Unicorn beanie: Gossengold

This look is a bit of an experiment. It's a little bit sportier than my regular looks. I tried to follow through with the see-through topic so I chose this jacket, the distressed shorts, tights and the transparent bag I showed you in one of my previous posts. Transparent items make layering a lot more interesting so I'm gonna keep this in mind for fall - the season of layering :D
These photos look a little different than the others. That's because they were taken by my awesome photographer Vivi (https://www.facebook.com/vivi.klein.9). We're always having a blast walking around town taking pictures and being stared at :D

Outfit: Maybe I'm amazed


Fringed dress: Dresslink ~ Feather kimono: H&M ~ Round sunglasses: Dresslink ~ Platform sandals: River Island

Don't know how you guys feel about this but when it's super hot I'd prefer not to wear anything that is super tight or clings to the skin. It makes me feel kind of locked up in my own clothes. So I created this super loose, super flowy look for the hot days. Absolutely love the fringe detail of this very light summer dress. It goes so well with the feather kimono I got at H&M recently. It was love at first sight and I'm glad I bought it right away as it was already gone in my H&M store a few days later. I'm usually a bit sceptical about (almost) all-white looks as they quickly make you look like a doctor or a nurse but that's totally not the case here as these items have a very distinct boho look to them. This is a total feel-well look for summer days / evenings that still allows you to look civilized and stylish :)

Outfit: ...and only your face in the crowd

Daisy lace bralet: Dresslink ~ Round sunglasses: Dresslink ~ Lace kimono: Dresslink ~ High waist jeans (DIY distressed): H&M ~ Platform sandals: Deichmann

I had my eyes on this daisy lace bralet for such a long time. It immediately caught my attention but I wasn't sure how to wear it and I still kind of have to explore this :)
As you know my general mantra is that no outfit is complete without a bit of contrast or some kind of tension. That's why I paired lace with distressed denim and white and yellow with black and grey. Wearing lace tights underneath these distressed jeans is my favourite thing to do. Everyone is wearing distressed denim at the moment but the lace tights underneath just give it that little extra girly, playful twist.
I'm surprised and amazed. If someone told me they were gonna wear a lace top with a lace kimono and lace tights I would probably go like "Errr are you sure about this? Seems like an aweful lot of lace." But for some mysterious reason this material doesn't seem to dominate the outfit and it really looks well-balanced. Curious :D

Actually I can't wait to wear this outfit again but it's still so freakishly hot here that wearing clothes is just not an option.

Outfit: Gold their crowns, gold their shrouds


All is not gold kimono: Dresslink ~ White asymmetric top: Topshop ~ See through bag: Dresslink ~ Sunglasses: Dresslink ~ White platform boots: Vagabond

The print of this kimono/jacket caught my attention because it reminded me of the poem from the Lord of the Rings: "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost." I'm actually thinking about getting the second part of it tattooed so I thought this jacket would complement my future tattoo very nicely :D
The long asymmetric top from Topshop has been one of my favourites for a couple of years. It's a real eye-catcher but still versatile enough to go with heaps of different outfits. Also, it can be worn as a top or as a dress which opens up even more possibilities to wear this beauty <3
I've been thinking about getting a see-through bag for such a long time. I always doubted that it would be a good idea as my bags are really SUPER SUPER messy. No seriously, there's everything in there from a ton of bread crumbs to money from countries that don't exist anymore to the receipt of that chocolate bar I bought 3 years ago at a gas station. Recently I found a theatre ticket from 2004!
Then again, I thought it might help me keep my purse tidy if everyone could see what's in it. When I went to a music festival in town with this bag  recently I got so many comments on how crazy it is :D Sometimes I'm amazed how people are still impressed by the small things :D

I'm not kidding you :D It has been in my purse for 11 years.

Outfit: Two tickets to paradise



Fringed lace kimono: Dresslink  ~ Palm tree crop top: C&A ~ Lace shorts: Dresslink ~ Ruffled socks: Topshop ~ Platform sandals: Deichmann

This look basically combines the two things that are currently on my mind - summer and road trips. It's very close to what I'd call my favourite style at the moment - I'd probably name it "Black Boho" and it's a combo of boho and witchy/grunge elements. I'm still working towards building a kimono collection and this fringed lace kimono is definitely an item I'll be wearing a lot. It spices up any top or plain outfit and it's not too warm so it can be worn on hot summer days. It goes so well with the lace shorts that are a little more on the boho side than my usual denim shorts. There are hopefully gonna be a lot more black boho themed outfits in the future and I'm already really excited about figuring out how to rock this style during the cooler season. But let's not talk about the cold just yet ;)
