Let the sunshine in...

Well...Fashion-Addicts. Looks like winter has finally come to stay. I know, it's ugly, but we really need to make the best of it. So put your pumps and slingbacks back into their boxes and wish them a nice hibernation - they deserved it.

Instead put your boots on - there are so many different models to choose from:

Daring? Go with high heel over knee leather boots and rock them with a mini or sweater dress and a trench coat. Stella McCartney has amazing boots in her newest collection and lets us wish for more guts to really wear them. Just do, as NIKE says. Just do it.

Comfty? What about nice biker boots to rock the road to work or college? Style it with skinny jeans, tank top and cardigans, scraves other accessoires. I would go with the ones from MIUMIU coz they look super stylish and lets us be a rockstar everytime we put them on.

Keeping it warm? Ever tried on UGG Boots? No? Never? You should. Even my sister, who always disliked them on the feet of celebs, tried them on for fun and later never wanted to take them off. They are great with leggings, together with dresses, long sweaters and a nice warm jacket.

But although we are now walking the streets of the European cities with the complete winter gear, we all need a piece of clothing that always reminds us of the sunny and cloudless days that are behind us.

I found an unbelievable Christopher Kane dress a few weeks ago and now fell head over heels for it's tankdress spin-off.

The Scottish designer is only 27 years old and has it's own line at the British #1 fashion temple, Top Shop. I would love to grab it, style it with black jeans/leggings/tights together with a grey cardigan and some high heel boots. No matter how cold it will get, summer will never leave me.

Next time: Fur sure...?

Yes...I DO!

I have to admit, beside what I am always saying...I am just like every other girl on this planet, dreaming about the big day. The wedding day. Why I am coming up with this topic, right now that wedding season is nearly over? Maybe because of a really good friend that will tie the knot next year...and is one year younger than me...but lets not talk about THAT.

Rather I really would love to talk about the fact that I found my absolute dream wedding gown online. It ist just...perfect. But. I can't describe it. Just see it for yourself.

This - literally - dream was designed by no other than the Queen of Fashion herself, Vivienne Westwood for her Gold Label. It is a big bash of white silk and it even has - and this is such a nice extra - two small pockets aside, just to make sure you can take your lipstick wherever you are going - even down the aisle.

So. I just wanted to share this with you guys. Need to watch some Fashion Week updates.

And I WILL GO TO IVY LEAGUE! Well...at least dress as if...

Guys. Think about all those American movies and TV shows where all these smart kids are running around in shirts or sweaters with HARVARD, YALE, CORNELL or BROWN on the front? Ever wished to have one for your own? Well. That's possible. Just go to Ivy Sport and order the clothes from YOUR personal (dream) college. I really wanna get a YALE shirt as soon as possible. Just to pretend ^^

Favorite Outfit of the Week

Alexander McQueen Dress and Christian Louboutin Ankle Boots. All by Net-A-Porter.

I just love this simple and down-to-earth elegance of this outfit. It is so street-likeable and you can wear it to so many different occasions. Out clubbing, in an art gallery, shopping or having a girls lunch. There are so many ways and I will really try to find something like that on my next shopping trip.

WANT of the WEEK

CHANEL launched this limited edition of Rouge Allure just a few weeks ago and I really fear that it is sold out. The are called Maniac, Hysteria and Obscure and I really fell madly in love with Hysteria, the purple in the middle. So, as soon as I am in Vienna I will run through all the shops and try to find them. Wish me luck to find at least one. If I am lucky enough I'll post a pic.

Stay stylish.

My decision was ... Fatale. Literally.

As I wrote earlier that day, I searched through the city to find the perfect lipstick for the theme party. But then I realized, that it would be better if I buy a lipstick that I would wear more often instead of just this only evening. So I asked for a make up artist in a local make up store for help and I got it. Here is how it looks.

The lipstick is Chanel's Rouge Allure N°71 - Fatale and I absolutley love it. You should have seen me with a lighter color...I looked like a clown. So...just a small hint...if you're looking for a perfect lipstick, go to the store and ask for advice, believe me, you'll be thankful afterwards.

I know, you can't really see the necklace, but I bought it today at MONSOON/Accessorize because I really didn't have any flowers lying around. I think they are camellias, the favorite flowers of Coco Chanel.

Okay...because we are already talking about jewellery...I also found a beautiful necklace in a Lanvin-style...I will mix it with a plain white t-shirt, jeans and high heels. Can't wait.

What to wear at ... Theme parties?

Does this situation sounds familiar? You are invited to a birthday party - okay, nothing special so far - but there is a little note on the invitation, saying: 'The theme of our party is...' or 'Please dress up as...'. So, that's a problem, isn't it? 

I am in the middle of this problem for about one week. Two of my dearest friends (twins) are celebrating their 20ieth brithday with the theme 'Burlesque'. So...I searched the web a little bit and even this isn't my real outfit for the party, it is pretty close. This is what I found on Net-A-Porter.

Dress by Red Valentino: 

Shoes by Christian Louboutin: 

For glamour hair by Louis Mariette:

And finally...I need to add a red-colored lipstick. Haven't bought it yet and also haven't decide if I go for a really Valentino red or a really dark blood red. Typical Burlesque me and my friends will cover our eyes in the darkest eyeshadows and throw some glittering in our hair.

If you are not really the theme-type and you feel unwell dressing up, just pick a small accesoire from the theme. For 'Vampire' it could be simply red lipstick, for 'Pirate' do it like Johnny Depp and get dozens of different brace- and necklaces. Just pick something to show your respect for the host and his/her idea behind. And if you need help, contact me. (: 

Love, Peace and...Flowers!

Everywhere I go, it always seems like I am passing different kind of flower gardens. The majority of the shops around Vienna are full of them. Skirts, dresses, shirts, bags, purses, shoes and leggings, they are everywhere. I am really into the idea of making the world a little bit more friendly in wearing flowers. Okay, maybe it's also because I am into the Woodstock-revival that will be this year (Happy 40ieth B-Day!) and trying to get into the hippie-feeling.

So, for today my favourite pick is of course a flower-power pick. A beautiful dress by the English shop Boden that I will -hopefully- soon call my own.

I would wear this with plain black shoes and a small black purse. This dress just doesn't need anything more special, it is special and beautiful enough. What I like most on this flowers is that they look like they were straightly painted and not just printed...yeah, call me over-romantic but I guess at the moment I got a Rosamunde-Pilcher-mood. (:

If YOU are trying to get into the flower-mood, just check out your closest ZARA, Mango or H&M; believe me. You will at least find ONE thing that will let your outfit flow(er).

Pick-Of-The-Day:

Because they would SO match the dress and they are timeless...Christian Louboutins finest Décolleté 100 Jazz Pumps...haaach...you are always aloud to dream. If anyone cares, my size is 39,5 (: Just to let you know.

Well, here we go!

Hi Guys. I have to admit, I always wanted to do a fashion-blog but I was never quite sure about the 'how' to do it. But I really think that fashion is such an independent area that everyone can write about it. And this is how I'll go from now on.

To me fashion is so much more than a word. Fashion is a blessing because it gives you the chance to express yourself in your own way. No style is like the other, we are all unique and different and show this through the way we dress.

Feel-Good-Buy-Of-The-Week:

I went shopping with my mum in the first district of Vienna and found this really cute shoes at ZARA. I totally LOVE them.

I kinda thought of them as the magical dancing-shoes of the one fairytale and just fell for them.They match perfectly with a new Pucci-like-dress I bought at Mango, really swinging-sixties and exactly what some designers are trying to bring back.

Favourite piece:

This Calabria Three Flower Ring is designed by British Alex Monroe and is just unbelievably gorgeous. It's (of course) handmade and -to me- represents some true English romance, Jane-Austen-style, baby. There is also a fitting necklace and everything can be also ordered in silver. More informationa at his homepage or at Net A Porter.

Is anyone thinking about seeing the movie 'Coco avant Chanel'? I just checked out the trailer a few days ago and i have to admit, it looks amazing. Or should I say, she? Audrey Tautou looks amazing in the faboulous costumes and I don't know another movie who could win the OSCAR for that category easier. Karl Lagerfeld at his best. No matter what he says, you just have to love him for what he is doing.
