shopping| the not so perfect pants

do you know the feeling when you wanted something for so long, you just could never find the perfect piece? do you know the feeling when you think that you finally found just that - right size, right color, right fit, right everything?
you do? good.
then just imagine waiting for something, getting excited, only to find out that this piece actually sucks arse.

as some of you may remember, i was thinking of buying the zara leather pants. i'm emphasizing the word 'pants' as they turned out to be leggins really. then, the fit - not good at all. saggy, not charming my legs in any way. the only thing that turned out to be true about those.. things that you wrap your legs in is that it is actually leather. at least it smells like it.

so yeah, saved 200 bucks and not recommending those pants whatsoever.

let the hunt for the perfect leather pants commence.

sunday song: jack johnson - better together

almost one week with no updates!
life is just happening, lots of work and a lovely weekend have come in between me and the laptop.
so now a bit of jack johnson to end the weekend properly and calm down enough for a quiet night before another week starts - hopefully with more updates, less stress and plenty of ideas!

i hope everyone had a great weekend!

enjoy,

trend| take me to the hardware shop

via love asthetics/5 inch and up

maybe it is not the newest thing on the block, however, i really like the idea of getting things from the hardware store and turn them into something beautiful. one of my favourite bloggers, ivania from love aesthetics, has a great talent at doing so.
the things you would find in a hardware store a usually cheap and they are so simple, it is just perfect.

i just hope that i will have my own apartment soon so i can put tubes and steel thread everywhere. okay, maybe that is a bit of exaggeration, butsome time to be creative would be nice for a change.

outfit | plain white t

first of all: sorry for the rubbishness of the pictures. it is just very difficult to master the nerve to take some head-to-toes at around 7am.
well so the outfit - i usually don't go for all-black-with-a-white-spot but sometimes i just love it. so when i was thinking about what to wear today, i didn't want to put too much effort in it (remember, 7am..) - black suede flats, black (well at least it was black once) jeans by cheap monday, black mango blazer and to top it all off - a plain white tshirt by american apparel. my beloved metallic clutch was the only colour that i had on me today.
to emphasize the simplicity of this outfit, i wore a tiny peace-ring that i got on asos a couple of months ago.

so, on another note: i miss blogging. i crave it. as well as i crave fashion and i have this huuge urge to go shopping. so i ordered some bits and pieces online a couple of days ago and hopefully, they are going to arrive come weekend.
speaking of which - weekend, i cannot wait for you to finally be here!

any fun plans for the days off?

so long,

trends| my autumn to-have-list

all pictures taken by me or via weheartit

i am ready - come on in now, autumn.
i've had it with that mishmash weather that cannot decide if it wants to be a hurricane or a desert sunshine. so, bring on that fall wardrobe!

1. leather pants. crucial. zara, you're going to be mine. enough said.
2 & 3. call it ikat, call it navajo, call it aztek - i do not mind as long as it's gonna keep me warm and comfy.
4 & 5. glitter. metallic shades. do i really need to say more? by the way, dear xl-sequins, can we please get married right away?
6 & 7. some fake fur never hurts (literally)
8. well, chunky jewellery (especially rings) do not necessarily belong to the fall season, however, i wouldn't want to miss them when it gets cold.
9. leather boots, you are hopefully going to keep me warm and tough throughout the very early mornings and the very late nights when i won't get to go home in the sunshine anymore.

okay, maybe i should stop thinking about this because now i am craving it all.

what is it that must not be missed in your wardrobe come fall?

so long,
xo

ps: sorry for the lack of very own pictures, there is just one word: work. or maybe two: work and subsequent laziness.
pps: see, after talking a lot about it, i finally did it - i switched to english. love it?

shopping| to buy or not to buy?

kaum verkaufe ich einige lieblingsstücke, hätte ich zwei neue gerne im kleiderschrank.
nicht erst seit gestern liebäugele ich mit diesen schuhen und der lederhose von zara.
vor allem die hose hat es mir angetan - schon lange suche ich nach einer echtleder-röhre, für die sich das geld auch lohnt.
nun ist eben die frage, ob zara diesmal etwas kreiiert hat, was qualitativ auch wirklich überzeugt. der preis spielt da in meinen augen eine eher geringe rolle, denn schließlich kann man sich sehr teure sachen von namhaften designern kaufen, die einen enttäuschen, man kann aber genauso gut 10€ für ein teil ausgeben, was einem über jahre treu bleibt.
nun kostet die hose 200€ und die schuhe sind auch kein schnäppchen. daher meine frage - würdet ihr es wagen?

sale| all the things i used to love

wie man in letzter zeit verfolgen konnte, habe ich mir im august unglaublich viele, teilweise sehr teure dinge zugelegt.
daher müssen 'alte' sachen den neuen weichen und platz im schrank machen.

diese sachen könnt ihr entweder über kleiderkreisel erwerben oder ihr klickt einfach hier.
fragen könnt ihr gerne auf formspring stellen oder per mail schicken.

so long,

random| details and the stress

was soll ich groß sagen - diese woche ist stress pur und ein ende ist wohl erst ab morgen abend in sicht, wenn es endlich wieder wochenende ist.
daher werdet ihr es mir hoffentlich nachsehen, dass ich eher weniger lust hatte (geschweige denn zeit), irgendwelche bilder zu machen.

für all diejenigen, denen es ähnlich geht - noch einen tag und ein bisschen durchhalten!

1. blouse that i bought on the weekend
2. my collection of random bracelets that make a hell lot of noise
3. part of my breakfast - do you need as much time to start the day right just as i do?

so long,
xo
