If you would ask me what I feel is typical ‘British’, I will most certainly name you all the clichés: meeting the queen at least once in your life, enjoy fancy afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches or a visit to the famous horse races. Thanks to Ladbrokes , I can now cross out two of these very ‘typical British things to do’ from my list. Alongside a handful of bloggers I was invited to the QIPCO Champions Day*, the grand finale of horse racing at Ascot Racecourse. We were treated to a four course meal followed by afternoon tea and in between enjoyed a taste of horse race gambling. I arrived at 10am on Saturday morning and I wore a dress which I bought very last minute from ASOS. I also invested into a headpiece (fascinator) which I always wanted to wear and finally was given the chance to do so. When I arrived at Royal Ascot however, no one seemed to be wearing hats or fascinators. I saw people dressed in riding clothes or simply in everyday wear, so my initial confidence was knocke

After a week of severe eye-straining and permanent headaches, my body forced me to slow down my busy schedule and I had to 'relax' and 'stay away' from the screen for a few days. I still feel massively tired and burnt out a little so this weekend will be spent in the Forest of Dean and hopefully I can refuel on my energies. But before I go into a social media and blogging free weekend, I'd like to give you a quick update on what's been happening this week in London. 1. Fashion: I visited the LV Series 3 exhibition I spotted an advertisement for the Louis Vuitton Series 3 exhibition whilst on the tube and the opportunity to go and see it came up, when Alex had an appointment in Covent Garden. Whilst he went there, I would visit the exhibition on The Strand. The venue for the exhibition was only a few meters away from the iconic Somerset House and easy to find.  Entrance to the exhibition is free but upon arrival, you'll have to 'sing in' and leave you

London and life have been super busy lately. With this in mind and 90% of my wardrobe back in Germany, I haven’t had much time to work on a new ootd post. In addition, writers block has struck me for the very first time in over a year and half of blogging which doesn’t make my writing life much easier. To get my motivation and style inspiration back, I scrolled through my archive and came across last year’s autumn posts. Some of them cover my favs looks and luckily the fashion hasn’t changed much this season. Fair to say it’s time to re-share my best autumn outfits.  The Blanket Wrap Blanket wraps are still on trend this AW and I love how uncomplicated they are to style. Effortlessly they transform any basic outfit in an instant. Plus everyone loves to snuggle up and keep warm so technically you can take your blanket out into the real life and still look fashionable. This year, capes and ponchos are on the same must-have level.  Capes: sleevless coats, Blanket Wraps: a tailored blank

Image Source: ARTE Whilst many in the English-speaking world ‘celebrate’ Mean Girls Day today, my country commemorates the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 – the event that caused the downfall of the GDR regime and the first step towards freedom for millions of people and the chance to form a united nation, which is in my opinion a more important event to celebrate on 3 rd October. But guess what: I've nearly forgotten about it myself and I feel seriously ashamed of it that I haven’t shown the respect this important day deserves. I know this post is usually not something I would publish on Style Lingua, but Reunification Day is far too important to me to ever forget it again and I'd like to share with you, what it means to me.  26 years ago, the bravery of my parents alongside millions of others to travel to our capital and decide to destroy the wall has changed so much in our history. It has affected my life tremendously and I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who took the

2015 has been the moment of wood. What started slowly in AW14/15 developed into a trend during the year and now, the fashion-sphere saw the stylish and sturdy material everywhere. May it be sunglasses with a wooden frame, distinctive coat buttons, handbags or decorative iPhone cases. You simply couldn't escape wood. With this in mind, it comes at no surprise, that the versatile and long lasting material has also conquered the world of watches. 'Wooden watches?' I can hear you ask, but yes, they do exist and one American brand has specialised in bringing the most stylish and elegant time pieces to our wrists: Jord Wood Watches . The company sells fashionable high-end watches for men and women. The wood used for the women designs ranges from subtle maple via striking sandalwood to warm and untamed zebrawood. All timepieces are beautifully crafted and share a love for small details, expressed through Swarovski elements and an exceptional finish.  I was kindly sent a Jord Cor
