London Look

Coat & Wedge Booties: Zara / Jumper: & Other Stories / Denim: Cheap Monday 

Earlier this week I jumped on a Eurostar to London where I was greeted by the loveliest weather including a very blue sky and spring-like temperatures. My dear friend Yev was so kind to take some pictures of my outfit on the streets of London. I have already declared my love for & Other Stories and this merino wool jumper doesn't fail to disappoint either. Definitely one of my favourite outfits that fits both the streets of the English and French capital.

(Cheap) Monday Post & Other Stories

Silk Blouse: & Other Stories / Jeans: Cheap Monday / Booties: Aldo / Bag: Michael Kors

I'm a huge fan of silk blouses, especially if they have a pretty v-neck like this one from & Other Stories. The slightly edgy pieces of the Swedish label just never fail to disappoint and they always add the certain "je-ne-sais-quoi". 

Autumn Essentials

Hat: UP / Knit: & Other Stories / Clutch: Vintage / Booties: Aldo

The days are getting colder but I am happy that I can rely on my fall must-haves. My hat from Urban Outfitters already accompanies me through Paris for several weeks now and is the best weapon against every bad hair day and rainy days. The chunky knit from & Other Stories is super comfy because of its blend of wool and cotton and one of my clear favourites. 

Happy fall dressing!

Shades of Blue

Shirt: Zara / Denim: Urban Outfitters / Boots: Office / Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

As I already mentioned in my previous post, we got super lucky with the weather in Paris on the weekend so I opted for a loose striped shirt and a pair of skinny blue jeans.

Eternal Summer

 Shirt: Mango / Denim: H&M / Sunnies: Zara / Flats: Mango / Bag: Whistles

I can't tell you how happy I am about le retour of the Parisian summer! Didn't even dare to imagine that in October, I would be able to stroll around Montmartre wearing nothing more than a top and a pair of sunnies.

Summer Memories

Shirt: Zara; Shorts: Levi's Vintage; Bag: Whistles; Shoes: Birkenstock

Now that October is not far away anymore, I'm starting to get a bit nostalgic about this very busy but definitely great summer. The picture above was taken in Tallinn a couple of months ago and displays one of my favorite summer outfits. Never can go wrong with wardrobe basics like a pair of Levi's shorts, Birks and a white shirt right? 

Casual Statement

Simple outfit - simple post. Let's keep it short and sweet. Sometimes one single eye-catching piece is enough to impress. In my case I think that one necklace and one picture do the trick. Impressed..?

Jeans: Mango // Top & bandeau: Weekday // Necklace: New Look

Let's walk.

Shirt: Promod // Skirt: Aubin & Wills / Shoes: noname // Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Oh hello sun. I didn't even know you existed in Berlin but apparently you were just hiding really well during the past weeks. I am still a little sceptical as you can see on my expression in these pics above. Good job I put on those black tights this morning as I started raining only a couple of hours after this sunny photo session. Anyway, it seems that Berlin summer is not far away and there will be no need to cover up our legs anymore. Can't wait!

Finally Back!

Finally. After two very very busy months filled with searching for a flat, temprorary flat solutions, moving, getting back into uni life and another million things, I'm starting to settle down a little bit. The dressing table has a new beautiful place to stay, the wardrobe is happy about it's little corner in my bedroom and the lounge really can't complain about not having enough space or light. 

Of course, there is still an awful lot to do but the most important thing is that we have a roof over our heads, right? ..and another very important thing: the fashion apartment is able to communicate with you on a more regular basis now as we finally have internet since Thursday!

Voilà. So things are getting back to normal again and I will hopefully show you very soon my new Berlin home!

Busy Bee

 As you might have noticed, the fashion apartment has been pretty quiet during the last week. The reason for this unusual silence was my big Berlin mission - the flat hunt! Oh yes, you got that right, the fashion apartment is going to move to the German capital soon and my wardrobe, my dressing table and the lounge are craving a roof over their heads! So I spent last week running from one flat to the other, from North to South, from East to West and tried to find the perfect new place for my wardrobe & co. 

The perfect outfit for the flat mission? A pair of loose trousers (H&M), boots that are not too high so you can run if you happen to arrive late at a flat viewing (Office), a comfy shirt,(UO), a big enough clutch for all the requested documents (Monki) and for the right portion of luck my favourite necklaces from Pascale Monvoisin.

hair down - trainers on!

Shirt: Topshop // Leggins: Zara // Bag: Michael Kors // Trainers: UO

 

My wardrobe and dressing table are slightly confused. The reason for their confusion is a small but mighty change in my look. As you may have noticed, I usually wear a pony tail or a high bun - and I've been doing this for years! For some reason I just didn't feel comfortable letting my hair down even though my dressing table always sighs when I tame my blonde thatch in the morning. However, I decided it's time for a change in 2013! So I take the step and let my hair down every now and then and I must say.. I'm getting quite used to it! 

Different change of habits: there are trainers on my feet. And not because I'm going to the gym. I usually love to wear heels, no matter if it's high heels, boots or even sandals. Now don't get me wrong, we are not talking about killer heels here, a decent 5 to maximum 10 cm usually does the trick for me. Ballet flats are ok, too, but trainers were barely seen on my feet on the street (unless I went out jogging). So when I got those bad boys form Urban Outfitters I could litterally see question marks popping up in my wardrobe: "What is she thinking?" "Since when am I storing her gym equipment?" "Where is the bloody heel?!"

Well, it took some time for my wardrobe to get used to the fact that those trainers are a part of my clothing repertoire and today it even approved of the outfit above. 

So, to sum it up: Me, a big creature of habit, is starting to change some things lookwise and I have to say it feels very good so far - my hair is free & my feet don't hurt. 

I guess I killed two birds with one stone here?

Nude

 Blouse & Jeans: H&M // Scarf: Alexander McQueen // Boots: Office // Bag: Mango

Nude, Camel, Beige. These colors always do the trick for me and that's quite obvious once you take a look inside my fashion apartment. My wardrobe has a pretty nice collection with several beige and camel colored blouses, scarves and shirts and my dressing table is proud of it's big selection of nude nail polishes and lip sticks.

..and as my dog Vasco matches the camel-nude trend quite well by adding some black and white highlights (this dog knows a lot about style), I thought this was the perfect occasion to introduce him to you!

sadly I have to leave the fashion apartment and Vasco again for the weekend as I am off to Dublin to visit my friend Claire! I've never been there before but I guess I can leave my light blouses and suede boots at home as according to the weather forecast it's going to rain cats and dogs! 

I will keep you updated via instagram!

Out and About

Shirt: Topshop // Statement Necklace: Asos // Skirt: Zara // Bracelet: H&M // Clutch: Pieces

As you might tell from the brickstones, I was in London again - there wasn't really much left from fashion week but I made sure that there was enough fashion left for me - I think it's very unpolite to come back to my fashion apartment empty handed without some little presents to give to my wardrobe, my dressing table and my lounge! However, I'm afraid I have to show you what's new in my fashion apartment a bit later on as I'm going to leave it again tomorrow - I will go to Cannes for the weekend and join my nan who is there on holiday - oh my, I guess this means I have to bring back even more presents..

How to make the sun shine

 Blouse: Zara // Skirt: Etoile Isabel Marant // Necklace & Bag: Vintage

I guess I am not the only one who is starting to get rid of the cold and grey weather we're having in Germany at the moment. So, I asked myself, what could I do in order to brighten up this foggy Sunday? Well, a last-minute trip to a sunny island was obviously not very realistic so my wardrobe suggested to wear at least some pastel colours which actually lifted my mood. So today I wore my skirt by Etoile Isabel Marant for the first time and I am very happy I bought it - it's super comfy and the pattern goes with a lot of shirts that are hanging in my wardrobe. Too bad I had to hide this outfit under my coat for almost the whole day, pastel colours might lift your spirit but they definitely don't make the minus 2 degrees disappear!

Dressed Up

Dress: A no-name boutique in Paris / Belt: H&M 

Bonjour from the Fashion Apartment! As you can see, it's another wardrobe post and the lounge and dressing table are starting to get jealous - but I just couldn't help writing a post about one of my favorite dresses - I bought it in Paris last year and sadly I can't tell you the name of the brand as there is none (I searched for it everywhere but no result!) - probably because I got it from one of those countless no-name boutiques Paris has to offer. Anyway, this dress caught my eye immediately. I love the print and the fringes, it's the perfect dress for going out for drinks or to parties! Unfortunately I can't wear it as often as I want to at the moment because it's freeeeezing cold where I live - and it's definitely not the ideal dress for a walk in the snow!
