Animal Prints

Animal prints

Animal prints always have been something I really enjoyed. The leo Louis Vuitton scarf has been one of my staples for fall and winter for over 3 years now and I still consider it one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. 
Animal prints, especially leopard patterns, are everywhere this season. It feels like every brand, whether its high end or designer has them in their newest collection. Especially Saint Laurent is really going for the leopard patterns this year but also Christian Louboutin really goes with the flow and designed his amazing So Kate pumps in the trendy leopard pattern. 
Dolce & Gabbana were probably one of the firsts though when it came to bringing out leopard patterns. They designed daring blouses and dresses for confident and sexy women. These days brands like Topshop are also joining the leopard team and making it more commercial. For me a leopard pattern is best worn with black and white. Simple and classy. I like to wear one leopard item with a wow effect and then be subtle with the rest of the outfit. It makes it cool, sexy but also edgy, which I love. The combination leather and leopard is also something I adore. I find it just perfect for fall and winter. 

Fall picks

Fall picks

Fall is around the corner and here comes my favorite season for fashion!! I can finally wear black again without feeling guilty. I can wear boots and leather jackets and sweaters without anyone judging me. This fall is everything about clear lines and the cool rocker kind of look for me. 
I picked some of my fall favorites so check them out below.

Grey Sweater from Acne Studio
They go with everything. Jeans, leather pants, skirts, you name it. Acne is one of my favorite brands and they never fail to amaze me with their amazing sweaters. I think this is an absolute staple in your fall wardrobe.

Leather Jacket from Acne Studio
Leather jackets have been here forever but I still consider them an it piece. A leather jacket finishes your outfit with a certain edge. Acne, again, has one of my favorite leather jacket collections but also Burberry or Sandro and for the lower budget Zara or Mango have amazing jackets.

Ripped Skinny Jeans from J Brand
I love them and I will always love them. I wear ripped jeans 99% of the time and I buy them in many different variations. Black, Blue, Light Blue but for Fall I will definitely go for my favorite black ones. J Brand or Rag & Bone have amazing high budget versions but my favorites are the Topshop Jamie's. Zara also has some in their newest collection.

Leather Pants from Helmut Lang
Black leather pants are the bomb. They make you look sexy and edgy. I really want to get the Helmut Lang pants one day but I own a good pair of Burberry ones that I stole from my mum's closet ;). Zara,  Topshop and Mango have amazing non leather alternatives.

Ankle Boots from Mango
I got these boots and I love them. They are a much cheaper version of the Acne Jensen Boots and they are so comfortable. The pointed toe makes them a bit more special compared to other chelsea boots and mine are suede, something I never had but definitely enjoy for this Fall.

Fedora Hat from Rag & Bone
I was always skeptical when it came to fedoras because I'm really not a hat kind of girl but I must admit I started loving them. They don't just look super stylish but they also save your hair from the awful Fall rain and don't worry about bad hair days anymore. Zara has amazing cheap alternatives at the moment. 

Cowboy Belt from Saint Laurent
I've loved these belts for the whole summer already and I cannot wait to show them off this Fall. I got a small and cheap version from Zara and I wear it everyday. It's so cute and edgy, I love it.

Cape from Joseph
Capes are super cool and easy to wear. You can always throw them over your look when it's chilly outside and you look amazing. This one is from Joseph, a brand I really like but I'm sure Zara and Mango will follow soon with cheaper alternatives. 

Leather Skirts from Zara and Topshop
I'm not a girl who wears skirts a lot but I have to admit I'm kind of excited to wear some this fall. I so wanna get my hands on this cognac colored Topshop A line skirt. It is suede and so pretty. I've seen one on Emily Ratajkowski and I love it. Another classic is a simple black leather skirt. This one is from Zara and I think the asymmetric cut is really cute.

Over Knee Boots from Stuart Weitzman
These boots are the biggest dream of mine. I love them! They are so stylish, fun, sexy and easy going. You can wear them on so many occasion and i think the suede is amazing as well. I hope I will get them this fall as I really need them. For a tall girl like me (5'10) it is quite the challenge to find over knee boots that actually go OVER the knee but these boots are really high and I love it. ASOS and Sam Edelman have cheaper alternatives but when it comes to those boots there's nothing but the original for me.

Small Sac de Jour from Saint Laurent
I have the nano sac de jour and I wear it every day. I love the design of that simple but exciting bag. This one is suede and I think it looks amazing to leather pants and a white boyfriend shirt or for a night out with a cute dress. I adore this bag. 

Blogger of the week // Flo Loves Clothes


I've been following this young girl for ages and her style has become more and more an inspiration for me. Florencia is 20 years old and from Boston. I found out about her a long time ago through her Eleanor Calder blog on tumblr. Now she's a known blogger that becomes more famous day by day. Her sets on Polyvore are amazing and her personal blog "Flo Loves Clothes" has become one of my favorites.

Summer to Autumn

Summer to Autumn



The temperatures are slowly decreasing, the light is getting different and the leaves slowly start to fall. Autumn is just around the corner and while I'm still hoping that we will still get some heat days, the forecast says something different. Now, the good thing about Autumn is, that you can still wear some of the summer trends you're not ready to leave behind without freezing or looking weird. 

Denim A Line Skirt
This was one of THE summer trends 2015 and with a little help you can make it the Autumn trend. Pair it with some cute over the knee boots (these are the Lowlands from Stuart Weitzman), a cool crop top from your summer wardrobe and end it with a leather jacket. It is simple but cute and even though you're wearing a skirt the overknee boots help you prevent to freeze.

Highwaisted Denim Shorts
Again, really easy. Knee High socks, cute booties or sneakers and a nice long sleeved blouse and you're good to go for Autumn. Ps: You can even wear them in winter, just wear tights instead of socks.

Patchwork Dress
We all know that patchwork is still in style in Autumn. While designers like Burberry showed us that they're a staple piece in our Autumn wardrobe, high street sellers like Zara followed their lead. 
Again I would pair them with over knee boots and when it gets really cooler with a pair of fine tights.

Sandals
Birkenstocks had their comeback last year and shortly after Designers like Isabel Marant followed. They are super comfortable and personally I think they're really cute. You saw them a lot this summer and with some cool distressed black skinny jeans a bardot top (also stolen from your summer wardrobe) and statement glasses this look is made for those late late summer days. 

What are your summer fashion highlights you're not ready to give up on? 


Ibiza Impressions

I'm in Ibiza at the moment writing this article by the pool with a view on the ocean. Yes, life is nice. Nevertheless, I thought to give you a little overview of my stay here in Ibiza so far as this island offers so much more than just parties, you can eat deliciously good and chill out in cute beach clubs during the day. 

Restaurants
When we arrived we had dinner at Blue Marlin - a restaurant, bar and beach club. The food is really good but pricey. I had a a so called "BMI" Thai Salad with beet tataki and tempura prawns. It was excellent. The vibe is really cool there as well. There is music playing and some people dancing, which makes it have a bit of a club feeling.
Another good restaurant we visited was Las Brisas. A very unknown restaurant here in Ibiza but such a lovely place. It is right on top of the ocean so you have a phenomenal view. I had homemade spinach and ricotta ravioli and they were amazing. The people are really nice there as well and I would definitely recommend this place for the lovebirds out there. It is really romantic and quiet. 
My favorite so far was the restaurant b.for. It is a sushi restaurant and the location is great and the food amazing. Even for people like me who don't eat raw fish! I had tempura chicken, vegetable gyosa and avocado and cucumber maki rolls and for desert Nutella maki rolls (they are the bomb!!). The personnel is really attentive and fast. They also have a big drinks menu. The location is great too. It has a very bar vibe and the tables are really lowm which makes it very chilled and relaxed. I was very surprised by the prices, for what we ate and drank it was not expensive at all. I think it's a must place to go when you visit Ibiza. 

Beach Club
We went to Blue Marlin again but this time during the day. We rented a beach bed and hung out there the whole afternoon. It is really great. You can order food, drinks, basically everything you want. There is music playing and when it gets later in the afternoon people start dancing and it changes into a day party. It is not cheap but I think ok for the things you get. The food is very good. I had a cheeseburger and we shared some Mezze and loads of other stuff. The best thing though is there variety of Sangrias. We chose the one with Rosé and it is literally the best sangria I ever had. So fruity and delicious and not too much alcohol considering you're drinking it during the day. I wouldn't go there every day but if you want to have a change in scenery once, I would definitely recommend it.

Of course we weren't every where yet and won't be able to visit all the cool places as there are just too many. I think you can visit Ibiza and don't spend too much when you don't go to fancy places every day. We're lucky that my friends dad owns a house here where we could spend our days and we don't need to go out every day. Therefore you can really choose were you want to go. 












Beauty Routine

Beauty Routine

My Beauty routine is pretty much the same every day. I have my few staple brands and stuff that I use every day. 

Face
I start with the YSL Touche Eclat Make Up in B40, then I use the Estée Lauder Maximum Cover Camouflage in 03 for my pimples and continue with the Maybelline Anti Age Eye Concealer in 03 for the darkness under my eyes. To set the make up I use the Sheer Powder from MAC in Medium Dark. 

Eyes / Eyebrows
I shape and color my eyebrows with the L'Oréal Brow Artist Genius Kit in Medium. For my eyes I use the Sephora Eyeshadow Pallet Colorful 5 in Sunrise to Sunset Bronze (I usually use the first three colors for a day make up and the darker ones or a night make up). My favorite Eyeliner is the Eyeko Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner. For my lashes I use a Lancôme Primer and the Bourjois Twist Up Mascara (I usually use a lash curler first as well)

Bronzer
I use the Guerlain Terra-cotta Light Bronzer in 03 on my face overall and then I use an Essence Eyeshadow in Choco to contour my cheeks.

Lips
I use the MAC Lipliner in Spice to give my lips a bit more volume and then I fill them with the MAC Matte Lipstick in Honeylove. 


And this is how it looks in the end! (I didn't use an eyeliner here because I wanted to go more natural)



Beyonce x Flash Tattoos


I am a major fan of flash tattoos this summer. If you follow me on social media you'll know because I think they are super cute for summer. They make your outfit just look better without having to wear jewelry to the beach. So, when I heard Beyonce was bringing out a collection of flash tattoos I was over the moon. I love every single design she made but my favorite ones are the lyric tattoos. I think they are very adorable and cute. They come on four sheets and a cool cover design with Queen Bee herself on it. Check out the ads below to see how they look.
