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.
