Fashion: Red Carpet OOTD For Cosmopolitan's FashFest

Image
Hi ladies, how are you? Last week, Karen got invited by River Island to attend this year's Cosmopolitan FashFest. She was allowed a plus one and have a guess whom she asked to come along!?! #bigsmile. The four day FashFest event ended with an epic fashion show on Thursday night, so it was time for us to dress up for a glamourous night out. The Search For The Dress For a while now, I've been seeing a certain style with dresses and skirts. Sometimes I would come across the term 'Flare & Fit', other times 'Hollow Cut Out'. I still haven't find out 100% what the style is called, but one thing was for sure. I really wanted to have either a skirt or dress of that make. After an intense fashion research online, I found out that Forever 21 would sell black sleevless dresses with the shape and cut. As it always is with a fashion piece online, it wasn't available in my size so I went into both London stores and tried to hunt that dress down - without any suc...

Fashion: My Shoe Wardrobe. Summer Fashion 2015

Image
Hi ladies, do you remember my summer shoe post from a while ago? Well, a lot has happened on the shoe front ever since and I’d like to show you my latest finds and my new wardrobe. My dad has been so kind to look out for wooden crates and he got two for me. I originally planned to use them both as a book case but we’ve decided to upcycle one of them into a new home for my shoes. Due to my unusual size (UK7/8), I usually struggle buying foot wear and they are my least favourite fashion item to shop. However, recently the styles have been very appealing and seeing so many gorgeous designs on the High Street has literally drawn me inter alia into Dune and Aldo. I invested into some very stylish pairs which are all well-made and of great quality. Here they are: 1. Dune London (£59). Bought For: Everyday Use A classic pair of ballerinas is an essential in every fashionista’s wardrobe. I used to buy the £4 basic ballerina from Primark, but the quality frustratingly never lasted for more t...

Fashion: AW 14 Accessories You Should Shop Now

Image
How are you? The season has some fantastic accessories and I thought I should reveal some of the spot on trends plus where you can shop them at reasonable prices. Hope you'll enjoy and let me know which one is your favourite accessory. |1. The Blanket Wrap| Since Burberry send its models over the catwalk with a personalised blanket wrap at their latest fashion show, this accessory has become a huge trend this autumn. Blanket capes, ponchos or wraps are easy to style and a casual accessory to throw over your shoulders to keep you warm for the colder days. They are everywhere to find on the High Street: from Topshop via River Island to Urban Outfitters, they all have them in their current range. However, the leader with the most extensive range of ponchos is New Look. They have over 10 different styles with various patterns and colours and the quality is great for £19.99. Also, Stradivarius has a lovely one which is more an oversized cape than a blanket. Their capes come in caramel, ...

Fashion: How To Wear A Casual Blazer Featuring CelebLook

Image
The leaves are coloured, the air is clear, the sky is bright blue and it's not too cold yet. I love this warm autumn weather! The lovely ladies over at  CelebLook  send me this gorgeous navy blue turn up sleeve ruched blazer* a few weeks ago and whenever I had the chance I wore it. My old boyfriend blazer from Primark, slowly but surely, falls into pieces and I've been looking for a replacement for a while now. This one from CelebLook is exactly what I was after. Navy blue is my personal autumn trend colour 2014 and the chic, yet classy blazer is made of a light material which doesn't crease the fabric when you put it into a bag. You can either wear it very casually over a Tshirt and leggings/jeans or glam up a dress. It goes with anything and it is easy to wash, so no fancy dry cleaning involved! |Navy Blue CelebLook Blazer Combined With T shirt And Leggings| I’m wearing: Navy Blue Blazer: CelebLook (current season 2014 , £11.49*) Camera Tshirt: Stradivarius (current s...

Lifestyle: Living In Two Worlds

Image
A very well-known job interview question is ‘Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?’ I find this question difficult to answer; after all I’m not a fortune-teller nor can I predict the future. It is of course important to know where to go, but also where you come from. That’s why I prefer the solid past rather than the unstable and fickle future, so I can learn from it. However, when I went home to Germany last week, I felt like I travelled back into my old life of the past five years. The years between 2009 and today marked a new chapter in my life. I had just come back from my Erasmus year at Lancaster University and had moved to Leipzig in the beautiful county of Saxony. For the next four years and this has been the place where I lived the longest in my life so far, Leipzig became my home. I worked very hard on my uni career and at the end of my course I was rewarded with two first class degrees and my first job as a research assistant, all with the aim to create a solid basi...
