random | unser morgen stirbt nie

first of all - a very merry berry (belated) christmas to all of you! i hope you got to spend time with the ones you love most and to just relax.
i, for my part, tried my best. however, i am still quite exhausted from the last.. months, i guess, so i was not really in the mood for taking pictures all the time. plus, i really am dissatisfied with the way my outfit pictures look as i am tired of all the detail shots. therefore, i am still figuring out a way to make myself more content. hope i will find a solution to this soon!

to not be a complete disappointment, some shots i took during the last days. another post is just about to be prepared, so this should be the end to my little christmas pause!

closet | new in

dress/jacket/bag - all zara (hello monotony)

talk. about. over. consumption.
all in all, it is not too much. a dress, a jacket, pants (see last post) and a bag. combine it though, add up the prices - what was i thinking? haha but i really cannot help it as i love every single piece and two of them (jacket and bag) i've wanted for a very long time so i thought with christmas around, i would deserve a treat. WRONG THOUGHT!
i just hope that this post will keep me from buying more stuff for myself that i actually did put on my wishlist for christmas. i am just so afraid that the things that i want will be gone before anyone could give them to me. i am obviously nuts.

do you get the same? i just always make wishlists and in most cases, i buy all the things myself.

outfit | it's all for you

pants, boots - zara/blouse - h&m/necklace - urban outfitters

i am lacking creativity, majorly lacking it. i've been browsing tumblr for hours and days now, it is not getting any better. it starts with having no ideas what to gift everybody for christmas and ends with hating my entire closet, although there is so much stuff in there that i have wanted forever now.

in addition, i am just the most impatient person right now. i would love to buy everything off my christmas wish list stat, anxious that people won't give it to me haha. also, taking pictures of myself is the last thing that i can do right now. i am always so frickin unsatisfied with everything!

oh well, maybe i just need a break. 2 more weeks of work to go and i am off for a couple of days.

anyways, say hi to my new pants (that i never want to clean as i am afraid that the color will fade and the wonderful softness will leave as well). and the necklace, that is.

how is life treating you people? how is the christmas present situation over at your places?

random | christmas wishlist

pictures via topshop; zara; aa and uo

here we go, my humble wish list. well, it is indeed humble as there is not nearly everything on it. just some random picks (from top to bottom, left to right):

1. turban hat from topshop, ca. 25£

2. sequined clutch from zara, ca. 40€

3. ambush boots from topshop, ca. 75£ (of course i'd much rather like to have the pistols, but 400€ - do not think santa is that generous)

4. le vernis by chanel, ca. 22€

5. kate moss by mario testino, seen at urban outfitters, ca. 55€

6. velvet bralet from topshop, ca. 25£

7. crystal necklace from urban outfitters, ca. 21€

8. asymmetric pumps from zara, ca. 100€ (i cannot get the fact around my head that i didn't want them when i could have them and now i am basically chasing them..)

9. THE COOLEST NAILPOLISH EVER! of course from american apparel, ca. 9€

as i said, there is a lot more, but well - this would made me happy for starters!

besides all that, i just wish for another happy year, staying healthy, spending more time with my family and friends and especially, being more creative and finding more time for le blogging!

what is your biggest wish for christmas?

sunday song | lana del rey - video games

don't have no words for it. she reminds me of natalia avalon, summer nights and red wine (even though i do not like it).
i simply love lana del rey, she is so weird and her music is as well, that it is just good.

happy sunday people!

ps: and happy first advent to everybody who celebrates it!

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,

trends | zara lookbook november

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)!
