Test

Last Thursday I made my way over to Bristol's Fashion Week SS15 show at the Mall Cribbs Causeway to see what's hot and not this season. Excited after last years  Bristol Fashion Week AW 14 , I couldn't wait to return to the fashion theater and came hungry for more on trend styles. This time, lovely Charlotte ( A Fashion Oddity ) joined me for the show. This is a picture heavy post, so please sit back and enjoy Bristol Fashion Week :) I picked up Charlotte from the station shortly after 11am and we were running a bit late. So we made our way over to the mall ASAP and there were already long queues outside the fashion theater when we arrived. In the foyer, we picked up some drinks and found some great seats by the runway, which worked out well in the end. Like last year, celebrity stylist Mark Heyes presented the show, but this time alongside Made In Chelsea starlet Lucy Watson. Though I missed Andrew Barton a tiny bit, Mark and Lucy made a charming duo, cracked jokes and fli

1. Nowhere in this world will you spent so much money on clothes, DVDs and other random but beautiful stylish things than in the UK. Those Primark/ASOS hauls, cinema trips and eating outs are legendary. 2. A trip down to your local cineworld will end up in a triple feature. Spent the day successfully. 3. Festivals are actually fun. Music you usually don't listen to sounds amazing live performed, girls wear flowers and dress up nicely, the general vibe is friendly to make that festival an unforgettable memory. You feel invincible and have the summer of your lifetime, which is a welcoming change to the German heavy metal/goth and alternative rock noise that you've avoided for years. 4. Brits are very stylish, tasteful and dress well. You won't see any weird fringes, multi-coloured hair or bling bling nose piercings. People are actually interested in fashion and won't give you looks when you 'come out' as a fashionista. 5. FREE Public Wifi EVERYWHERE is no longer a

The movie Philomena is one of the shining lights of the film year 2013 which brings us the gripping, heart-touching search of a mother who lost her son in the 1950’s. She has kept her past a secret ever since and lived with a burden of a lifetime. The award-winning British drama, directed by Stephen Frears, is based on the true story ‘The Lost Child of Philomena Lee’, a biography written by BBC journalist Martin Sixsmith. The movie centers on Philomena Lee (Dame Judi Dench) who has held a burden all of her life. As a teenager in the mid 50s, pregnant Philomena lived at a convent in Roscrea, Ireland. The nuns allowed her to keep the child, but was later forced to sign away her parental rights to the Catholic Church. Three years on, Philomena’s son is adopted by an American couple and taken away, leaving no trace behind. Ever since, Philomena never stopped thinking of her son and attempted to find him, but failed. By this time, she has a 35 year old daughter, who introduces her to ex BBC

When was the last time you’ve received a handwritten letter or wrote one yourself ? Call me old fashioned but I’m still very excited when I receive a handwritten letter instead of an email. A beautiful handwriting to me is art and a far more personal and thoughtful way of communicating with each other. Did you know that handwriting is a mirror of our personality and can reflect over 5,000 individual character traits? My handwriting for example is centered which reflects my logical way of thinking and practical nature. The average size of my writing reveals I’m a well-adjusted and adaptable person, though my romantic style also says I’m sensitive and often seek compromise over conflict. Handwriting analysis is so diverse have you’ve ever tried it? The way our handwriting looks, if neat or sloppy, is effected by our writing tool. I once bought an expensive pen and was told by the retailer that there are ‘pens’, the countless ones we all have at home lying around, and then there are ‘writ

It's getting warmer each day and every evening it stays a few minutes lighter which is a clear sign spring is around the corner. I'm happy that I can slowly but surely send my winter coat into hibernation and prepare to get my leather jackets and dresses out. Time for me to experiment with a few styles to get a romantic spring outfit sorted. Yeah :) Spring is about the awakening of nature meaning plants come out, people enjoy the sun and regain their energies. It feels like life returns to its strengths but is still very fragile and delicate. In order to make a look that works just like spring, powerful but delicate, I've decided to mix a few styles with different colours to create a romantic look. Read here, why my outfit despite the wild mixture works. I'm wearing a leather jacket (strong, powerful) over a white lace/chiffon Primark dress (delicate, innocent) to present spring. I got this brown leather jacket from Stradivarius before winter and didn't have had the

Puh, I've done it. After spending the last three months with Thomas, Newt, Minho and Teresa in the boiling hot Scorch, I can safely say I made it. My reading powers are exhausted, my patience strained to the last page and I've come to the limits of my logic understanding, but thank god I made it through the entire Scorch so now I can proudly say I've completed and passed the trial. If you're interested what adventures I've been through in The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials* then please read on my spoiler free review. |My Fight With The Scorch Or Can We Please Get Rid Of Thomas?| After the escape from the Maze, I'm rescued with Thomas and the Gladers at a safe place. But things start to get super weird pretty quickly, so in one minute Teresa is gone, the next a new boy called Aris miraculously turns up and before I know it, someone from WICKED finally makes an appearance and kindly tells me and the others (kind of) what's going on. The next thing I remember is I&

Not so long ago, my blogging friend Hollie published ' My Blog Is At A Crossroads ', a post in which she said, she would like to start working with brands and write reviews to mix up her blog which is currently focused on fantasy football and life inspired posts. In her piece she asked for some guidance and advice on how to give her blog a new direction. Her post made me think, as I share a similar position, but I’m facing the opposite of the problem: I feel I should write up more life inspired posts than product reviews and brand collaborations to give my blog more personality and a twist. It’s not that I haven’t tried to post opinion pieces or life experience before, but let’s put it this way, these articles weren't picked up so well and as a result I thought I should stick with reviews, collaborations and general blogging topics. Hollie's post really made me think and so I sat down one afternoon, done some brainstorming and collected ideas for topics I could write ab

On my last visit to Berlin, a new bag caught my attention. The X-Over bag*, which is best described as a blend of a functional rucksack and a stylish handbag, is the latest fashion accessory made in Germany. As a passionate bag hoarder myself, I had to research the brand and find out more about these clever hybrids. |X-Over: The Idea| Rucksacks made their big fashion revival last year and 2015 won't be an exception. I've never been a massive fan of rucksacks to be honest with you, but the X-Over bag has changed my view. Designed and made by a small South Germany based company, the X-Over bag provides a stylish update of the rucksack in combination with a comfortable wearing system that adopts to your needs. The idea for the triangular shaped bag was born in 1996 and soon became a must-have in the In lineSkating scene. Now, after several updates, this is a bag designed for everyday use, which is functional, practical yet stylish and fashionable. Each bag comes in different sizes

Photos are vital to our blog posts, as they break up our texts which makes reading more pleasant and let's face it, we're visual creatures. If a picture can't draw us into the post within a couple of seconds, it is unlikely we read the post or come back to a blog. As the weather is still very miserable, most of us are forced to shoot their pictures indoors. I thought it is time to share some advice on how to improve your photography when you have to shoot on your desk or somewhere else in your home. To make pictures stand out and interesting, you can use a variety of props. Here are my top 5: 1. A White Board Most of us are attracted to clear photography that's been shot with enough light which you can capture through a lot of white. White is plain, neutral and perfect to reflect light to create that effortless and airy effect that makes pictures so harmonious to our eyes. To achieve these neat pictures, bloggers use all kinds of 'tools' such as light boxes, som
