I know, I’m aware, I’ve been quite lazy with my posts. But the thing is, and I’m just very honest right here; I’m so much more into spring and summer fashion than winter. Guuh. Especially here in Switzerland, winter means winter – cold, grey, oh and….COLD! You try to be inside as much as you can, cuz it’s just too freezing cold outside. So to me…winter is not really inspiring when it comes to fashion. I wrap myself into as much clothes as possible to stay warm, lol.
BUT I decided very spontaneously to take some pictures at the Rote Fabrik here in Zurich, a very cool place; lake, graffity, old school environment. 
I’m in love with this jacket, with the color especially. It gives a little “life” to those grey days here.

Oh and I changed my hair a little bit. I used to have an "ombre" for quite a while now, but decided to leave this for now and I lighten them to aaalmost the top but intentionally left a dark hairline. My hair grows so fast, that in a few month I'm back with my ombre :D.

Just needed something new.

So I hope you like the pics .

A lovely week to everyone, and keep it warm.

Personality Style Challenge BRILLIANT EARTH

Denime Jacket, knitted Shirt, Denim Shirt, faux leather pants, beanie and shoes, everything from TOPSHOP Online / bag from MICHAEL KORS.

When BRILLIANT EARTH wrote me a few days ago, if I was interested in participating in their  Personality Style Challenge, I was very honored and thrilled. They created 6 different categories ( 1) blue jeans & tee shirt  kind of girl 2) floral, feminine styles & patterns 3) glamorous like stilettos & glitte 4) minimalist, no-nonsense elegant style 5) vintage dresses & thrift store shopping 6) cutting edge )
and I had to choose which one fits my personality the most. And after this choice they wanted me to create a fashion style board, like what is the perfect and inspiring look?
The people who know me know that I like it very fashionable, but always more casual and cozy than very elegant or glamorous. So that's why the "blue jeans & tee shirt  kind of girl" was MY CHOICE. So this is what I created. I know it's not a blue jeans ;) but I created something, that I would wear right now (It's winter, so only a tee wouldn't be enough right :D) so I hope you like this look.
So here are a few examples of their collection which would perfectly go with my look above.

A little spark. The Silver Amethyst Twist Pendant

Simple and beautiful, the 18K White Gold
Fairmined 2mm Comfort Fit Wedding Ring

Simple and stylish, the18K White Gold Round Diamond Stud Earrings (1/2 ct.tw.)

Here some infos regarding BRILLIANT EARTH:
Brilliant Earth believes that high quality, fine jewelry need not come at a great human or environmental cost.
Their goal is to make jewelry as beautiful as it can be. They are passionate about cultivating a more ethical, transparent, and sustainable jewelry industry. They believe in promoting socially responsible business practices that respect human beings and the environment. They endeavor to treat all individuals with respect, both inside and outside the company.
And what I especially like about them is that they donate 5% of their profits to help communities who have suffered from unethical practices in the jewelry industry. They strive to create a long-term and sustainable approach to community development.

Please visit their page for more infos. I love their collection.

A great week to everyone

Hometown

Wearing: Boots UGG / fake leather leggins from PIECES / cardigan TOPSHOP / leather jacket ONLY

Okay, so my last post was about how I am not ready for winter yet right? Yes this is the truth, but yet, if the sun is shining, the air so clean and fresh, and then a day off? Well, yes, okay, it’s beautiful, I admit it. Kinda love it ;-).
I took these pictures a few days ago. It was my brothers birthday so we went at mums to have some yummi lunch and then went outside for a walk. Just some family quality time.
I grew up in the country side of Zurich, which means beautiful natur, no hectic ;)
So I felt like showing you how beautiful my little hometown is during a sunny winter day. So enjoy the pics.

Oh and what about christmas presents? Did you buy yours already ?
Personally, I love to make presents. Nothing more beautiful than giving pleasure to someones face.
But at the same time, it is kind of a hectic time every year. Like….what do I buy this year, what is it that this person do not have yet, where can I find it etc. But in the end it’s all worth it as soon as you see the happy face :).
By the way..if you haven’t found anything yet for your beloved ones, may be you should check out this fashion website right here : http://www.cecil.ch/ . Cecil stands for «authentic», «curious», «honest» and «modern». They are based in Hannover, Germany. They exchange their collection every month, just to always be able to keep up with the market. They focus mainly on a modern casual-sporty look, rather than just »trendy». It’s more of a every-day-wear.

So, I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather, although it’s freezing cold ;) .Merry pre-christmas to everyone.

Ho ho ho

A sunny Winter Day

Wearing: UGG boots / Leggins TOPSHOP / leather jacket ONLY / headband H&M

Well, what can I say. I'M SO NOT READY FOR WINTER YET!! The summer this year lasted too short. I'm such a "sun-person" and this is why I enjoyed this lovely sunday even more. What a pleasure!At the moment, where I live, the lake is proverbial around the corner. So I spontaneously decided to take some pictures. Gotta exploit this weather right?
Wearing one of my favorite pieces at the time - my warm fall leather jacket.

Have a lovely week everyone.

MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION DAYS ZURICH 2013

MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION DAYS ZURICH
From the 13th-16th November, in 5 shows, numerous talented designers showed their newest collection for spring/summer 2014. I've been there on saturday night and 2 of my favorits of that night were TOUJOURS TOI FAMILY AFFAIRS and PERRET SCHAAD (this was actually my personal fav!) I just collected some of my favorite styles. So here, check em out.
Also, as I often like to do, I took some pictures of the people there, the guests. Where ever I looked, stylish people everywhere. That's what fashion days are for, right?
But unfortunately, as my cam just went off..I had to crab my I phone. Therefore, the quality of the guest pics is not the best. Sorry for that.

So now enjoy the pics babes.

Ooh November!

Wearing: Camouflage pants ZARA, jacket L’OLIVE VERTE (from Amsterdam), shoes from Santa Monica, beanie FOREVER21, chain H&M

So! Dear November, you’re crazy. It’s actually still fall, but the thermometer keeps falling and falling. Today it measures 5C°, really??! Ugh. Therefore, all I can do this wrap myself in warm clothes and deal with it. I just hope it won’t snow this week?! (Because this is what the weather forecast is actually predicting *crymyeyesout*)

Oh and btw: I will be at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Days this upcoming saturday. I’m so curious what the designers are about to show us. What are the new trends? I’ll find out for you guys :).

Have a lovely wednesday everyone :)

Mixing Styles

Wearing: Denim Shirt H&M / panties ZARA / peep toes DOWNTOWN L.A.

Finally back on my blogging. I know the last few weeks I haven't been blogging regurarly and I apologize but now I'm back and will try my best to post 1-2 posts a week:)
This time I go with a little style mixing, which I always find fun. You actually will rarely see me being elegant from head to toe, or baggy from head to toe. I just prefer the mix of different kind of influences. This is the interesting part of a style. As for this one: Yes THESE are trainers. I guess, normally, women would wear those to do sports...I on the other hand will combine them with a jeans shirt and YES, high heels. Cuz this is exactly what gives the outfit this "stylish" look and not a too cozy look. And of course my all time beloved beanie.

I wish everyone a lovely week :-*
