trends | leggings

all via we heart it

i saw them a while ago for the first time - to be exact, when i was about 6. i wore them everyday anyday, i just loved them. and i had them in many patterns and fabrics! maybe i was a trendsetter all along..
ANYWAY! when i saw these leggings a couple months ago, i didn't realize what i was seeing. my childhood love had come back to me - leggings that are in the best case knitted or made of velvet oooor, even better, have some fancy patterns that now would be called ikat or aztheqe or something similar (when i was young i was calling them christmas-leggings as many of mine had reindeers on them - LOVE!).
when i was in hamburg last weekend, i could not avoid stopping by at urban outfitters and i found that they had many lovely leggings that just felt right. they were for the most part a mixture between leggings and sweat pants; i think that is just the right mix for the lazy holy days.
howeverrr, i am not too sure if i'm not.. 16 years too old for that (yes, i had to count). what would you wear these pants to? what shoes, what tops? should you go for the all-pattern-mixed-look? well well well..

what do you think guys?

so long,

november lookbook

i am madly and utterly in love with the november lookbook of zara woman's collection. the print mixture, the pj-pants, the flower prints.. love! not to forget the absolute casualness of the model's looks and her pure beauty.

L O V E  and a desperate need to have it all.

proper blogging to come soon (the usual)!

outfit | close enough to start a war

sweater,choker,parka - h&m/shorts - cos/tights - wolford/shoes - converse chucks/bag - zara/foxtail - gifted

i guess its official: tights season is back. 

whenever i get a new piece (that usually i am in love with) it is incredibly hard for me to also wear other things that i owned before. therefore, i wanted to let go off my dr.denim-jeans at least for once and dug out those cos shorts that i bought in summer. now i wish they were even shorter but only cause i can wear them with tights now ;-)

also, making something suitable for wintertimes that you bought on a hot summery day seems to be a difficult task. there is nothing worse for me than people trying to pull off their jeans cut-offs during winter with black tights. but these shorts didn't make much for a challenge.

all paired with my last-season parka from h&m and my beloved zara-bag. foxtails are cool in summer, but they really are awesome in winter (or fall, for that matter) i think!

how are you with new pieces in your closets? do you wear them until you cannot look at them anymore, too?

so long,

xo

ps: only 7 weeks to go until christmas! who is as excited as i am?!

trends | all-over sequins

via asos

i seem to have a new obsession with sequined everything - sequined shorts (found a lovely one from lipsy, too bad summer is over for now..), sequined tops and of course, sequined skinny pants.
those skinnies are from the parisian label iro and they could be mine for 'only' 130€. love or love?

i promise there is going to be more genuine stuff coming up, i'm just so lazy when i have some time off..

news | ed hardy feat. taste

so, yesterday i was going through twitter when i saw it - h&m is launching its next capsule collection, titled the dragon tattoo-collection.
i was like, omg, are they teaming up with ed hardy?!
i clicked on the article by lesmads and i was pleased that the contrary showed up: h&m is collaborating with trish summerville, among other things known for creating the clothes for the movie 'the girl who kicked the hornets nest' also known as the stieg-larsson-trilogy.
and they seem to be bringing out cool stuff! all very lisbeth-salander-themed with a bit of a fashionable twist, as trish summerville puts it. most of all, i am excited to see the leather pants (what a surprise).

the collection is going to be available worldwide, shortly after the h&m x versace launch, on 14th december in the h&m divided-sections. usually, i despise divided because it seems they only have stuff that wanting-to-be-part-of-wasted-youth-teenagers would wear, i.e. the quality is even worse than in the other sections, but i am going to wait and see.

how do you like the first impressions of the collection?

so long,
