THIS WAS 2017 AND MY NEW YEAR’S EVE LOOK

 Tomorrow 2017 will be history. Time to review and reflect the past year. Not only the highlights but also maybe something that did not quite run according to your own ideas should be, at least, mentally analyzed again. Self-reflection is a good tool for understanding your own goals

 My year 2017 brought many positive experiences. In January 2017 my most successful blogger year began when I was allowed to join the jury at Miss Earth Switzerland when the wonderful Sarah Laura Peyrel was named Miss Earth Switzerland 2017. Also in January 2017 I went together with Weleda on my first press trip to Vienna.

 In February, I attended the Swiss Music Awards for the first time and, for the second time, Switzerland’s largest fashion show, Mode Suisse. The trips should continue in March, together with my family I visited the Disneyland in Paris. Also in March, I visited for the first time the largest watch and jewelery fair Baselworld in Basel and was even able to try on the latest models at Gucci, Fendi and Co. In April, the Fashion Hotel in Zurich took place at the Kameha Grand. With Cosentino, I also visited Milan Design Week in Milan for the first time in April.

 In May, I visited Geneva at the Hotel N’vy Geneva for a pop-up event. For the first time, I was also allowed to attend the Energy Fashion Night in Zurich. In June Wellness on the farm was announced in the beautiful canton of Bern. The Fashion Week in Berlin took place in July, it was a lot of fun to be present at the various fashion shows. Despite the rainy weather I was able to wear summery outfits. At the events I met bloggers again, which I had never met live before. In July, I also traveled with Weleda to the beautiful Weleda Garden and helped harvest the calendula.

Before I could recover in the mountains of Livigno and toured the countryside with an e-mountain bike. It officially became official in August I had my master’s degree in law in my pocket. Reason enough to get to know your own surroundings a bit better and to spend your holiday in Central Switzerland. In autumn, Mode Suisse once again took place in Zurich. At the weekend we went to the Swiss mountains to St. Moritz. At the end of October, I already celebrated my 27th birthday. As a reward, my BFF went to Baden-Baden. Finally I made it to Paris just 2 weeks ago, a visit to the Eiffel Tower is definitely on the bucket list in case you’ve never been there before.

Now for my New Year’s Eve look main ingredient is the Little Black Strapless in my case and H & M, I wore this dress so often, because it just always fits. The beautiful golden fishnet stockings from Falke, there is not much to say. My cape-jacket makes sure that I do not feel cold. The beautiful heels with flower application and the great bag with stud application are from Supermauro.ch.

What was your 2017 and what are your intentions and goals for 2018?

STATEMENT SHIRT & VARNISH MINI SKIRT

 Glossy varnish clothing is a current trend, rightly combined, a varnish mini skirt looks super stylish. In my today’s look it’s get rocking.

If you should ask yourself why I’m rumbling in the t-shirt, no it’s not a picture of last month. But autumn showed itself again from his sunny side, last week, at least here in Lucerne

Best opportunity to present a super rocking and stylish look. The mini skirt in the varnish look is a fashion statement. And yes, you definitely fall on ^^ Because varnish clothing has still a rather wicked reputation, this makes those pieces real eye-catcher. The Mini is by Even & Odd by Zalando.

When combining the look, however, it is important to create a certain balance, so a simple statement-shirt in white fits perfectly to the varnish mini. An equally daring part would simply be too much.  I wear beautiful wine-torn hole net tights by Falke to round it up.

The pretty ankle boots are of the current Ellie Goulding collection by Dosenbach and an absolute must-have. Because they can be combined so well, whether it’s like with a mini skirt or jeans. They are also super comfortable and inexpensive.

To this look clean jewelry fits well as my black gold watch by Rosefield. Even if some passers-by don’t like the look, I think it’s a great one 😉 In fashion is always synonymous for creativity, otherwise we would probably all forever and eternal wearing jeans and T-shirt’s.

So I can only advise you to go your way in fashion as long as you like it. And if you decide differently in a few years, you have at least something to smile on.

How do you like the look? Do you like the varnish Mini or is it too much for you?

NOBLE: BALMAIN H&M COOPERATION LOOK

 Hello my dears

It’s time again for an outfit inspiration. This time I was in Zurich to taking these pictures. The name of my outfit noble and classy.

Many of you have surely noticed the hype about the Designer cooperation of Balmain and H&M. I have found three pieces of this collection, but online without mass inertia. It’s now a bit of time has passed, but those clothes are not wearing it anyway every day. Today I wanna show you one of these pieces.

 As a contrast, and for more coolness I took a washed jeans.

What I’m wearing:

• velvet blouse Balmain H & M
• black coat of Primark
• washed jeans from Primark
• black bag by Love Moschino
• pumps of Vögele Shoes
• stocking socks

Especially nice looks the velvet pattern on the blouse. I also have a conscious decision not to wear jewelry in this outfit.

Characteristic of BALMAIN are the shoulder pads, although I’m not a huge fan of shoulder pads, but they look really beautiful on this blouse. The shoulder pads are suitable for the imperial style of the blouse too.

Have you also buy a piece from the Balmain collection or aren’t you interested in such cooperations?  How do you like this outfit of me?

I always look forward to your comments and reviews 🙂

MODE SUISSE EDITION 12 / MEIN OUTFIT

 This Monday, I was at the Mode Suisse 12 a Fashion Show in Zurich to once again discover the great collections of Swiss designers. The Fashionshow with 12 labels was super designed. Today I would like to tell you more about it and present my outfit for the Mode Suisse.

 Yes, this outfit certainly belongs to the more striking variety. But I wanted to make a look with Fishnet Tights for so long. On Monday it seemed to me just super suitable. This great skirt I found at H&M, I love the animal leopard print and the asymmetrical cut.

There were presented 12 different labels at Mode Suisse. The show has been opened by the special guest De Niz Christa de Carouge. The models presented the rather special looks while there was epic sound running. This was followed by the looks of Yvy, a label already discovered by Hollywood stars. Collective Swallow has presented unusual creations as well. A cooperation between Ladina Steiniger and SOL SOL ITO, creative designs for women were created. Before Adrian Reber presented his men’s collection. LIDA NOBA and Kevin Germanier presented both their beautiful creations, the latter scored with a lot of glitter and the most beautiful earrings of the evening.

 My super comfortable ankle boots by Dosenbach carried me stylishly through the evening. The Hard Rock Café Shirt I bought during my stay in Cologne this spring. It fits perfectly to the rocking look. My watch, by the way, is by Mockberg. The Moon Choker by Todaysdesigner, a wonderful jewelery designer from Geneva.

The show continued with the Head Genève represented by Xénia Laffely & Studio Master 1. Premiere at Fashion Suisse celebrated Weer. Garrison convinced through flowing cuts. Ensoie and Julian Zigerli co-operated under the name eJSZ and presented a “See-now-buy-now” Unisex Capsule Collection. The furniture manufacturer de Sede then presented the first collection of bags at Mode Suisse as a world premiere.

Mode Suisse 12 took place at Schiffbau in Zurich, a really great location for the Fashionshow. It almost reminded me of locations at the Berlin Fashionweek this summer

Now I am of course super strained, how do you like my look. Sure, he will surely be too much for some of you. But it is not an everyday look, but fits wonderful to go to a fashionshow. Here is a short overview of the represented labels of Mode Suisse 12.

Channeling my dark side

 Last week I was in a particularly dark mood, well not really in terms of my mood but inspired by a post I did about 4 years ago at an Agent Provocateur fashion show when I wore an all black ensemble with black lipstick. Weird, but many times when I need inspiration I just look back at my older posts and I always find something and I haven’t sported a dark lip in a while so that was the inspiration. I didn’t want to go all black on this day despite having an important meeting to attend but I still wanted to stick with the idea so I wore a deep shade of purple lipstick, smokey eyes, and a Betsey Johnson jacket and dress combo. “When all else fails resort to Betsey” my friend Andrea would say..and because most of my clothes were in boxes because I was moving…I went with it. My leather purse was also Betsey, go figure. I kept my accessories light as always and went with some silver rings and my favorite black fluorescent Tarina Tarantino skull studs. I also went with my Christian Louboutin booties that have been collecting dust since I bought them because I was waiting for the perfect opportunity. This was definitely it. They matched my outfit perfectly!

I have this jacket in a Marilyn print as well. I just love it so much I must have it in many color ways. I love that wearing this one with the dress isn’t overkill. Such great colors!

 Of course I had to belt it. I belt everything. I like to accentuate the waist.

My Betsey Johnson purse has become my favorite go-to item as well. It just matches most of what I wear on a regular day basis. Her leather bags really hold up well. I’ve had many of mine for years and they are still in pristine condition.

How amazing are these Christian Louboutin booties!!! Not sure why I haven’t utilized them since I got them but I must be on drugs. I will definitely bust out these bad boys some more

Winter’s coming but it feels like Spring 

 It has been quite a while since I have done an outfit post but I have been way too busy lately, so busy that I haven’t had much time to even post at all. Alas I was off today for Thanksgiving and decided to wear a dress I recently found at a thrift store that my mom ended up taking pics of while we were taking a stroll around my old neighborhood. I have been dying to wear this wool plaid dress. It reminds me of something Vivian Westwood would create but it is actually by Kal Kaur Rai. I couldn’t believe I found such a statement piece here at a local thrift store in the Bronx but I am not complaining. It only cost me $7.50! I probably should have saved it for fashion week but decided every week is fashion week in my life, I am sure I will cook something up when it’s time to cross that bridge. Anyway, it was beautiful outside. The leaves were falling from the trees but it felt like the beginning of spring. I was able to walk around without my jacket for most of the day until the evening when the sun started to set. I wanted to channel the punk rock style of the 70s with a 50s touch. I love to clash eras and create outfits that work. Leather, plaid, and studs are all signature staples of punk rock style and since my dress reminded me of the queen of punk fashion Vivian Westwood, it felt oh-so-right to pair it with my Christian Louboutin spiked pumps, Agent Provocateur gloves, and Betsey Johnson studded purse. I also wore cuban heel hosiery by Leg Avenue. All in all, It was an all around win and if it got too cold, I carried my scape by Theresa Dapra and my buckle boots by Steve Madden. I always like to carry an extra pair of shoes. My friends make fun of me because they say I change from heels to heels lol. I had to bring my boots because my shoes were open toe and we all know those type of shoes are meant for spring/summer but I didn’t care. Cheers to being fashionable and comfortable on a beautiful day like this one.

Power Shoulder Jacket by Super Trash. Gloves by Agent Provocateur.

Scape by Theresa Dapra. It can be molded into a hood.

I love the shape of this dress. It has so much character.

Love that these stockings match my skin tone. It is only because I become so pale during fall/winter lol.

back seams and studded CL heels

NYFW: Chromat SS14

 It was Fashion Week here in NY and I was off to see the Chromat SS14 Mathletes collection at The Out NYC with my aunt Alex. The designer, Becca McCharen, is extraordinary and talented beyond measure. She creates structural and abstract architectural cages and other accessories for the female form. All of which add edge and character to any ensemble. Her knowledge of architecture and urban design has made her a household name in fashion as an innovative genius all over the world. I was extremely excited when I got the invite to her show. I am a huge fan of her work and was so excited to see her new collection. I was also excited that I had the opportunity to wear my new Karen Millen dress as it fit the theme of the event perfectly. The show was amazing and the venue was beautiful. Models were dressed in cages and other structural accessories that made them look like warriors in armor. The models even had awesome platform boots and wedges designed by Becca. My aunt and I were completely blown away. I have to own one of these pieces at some point of my life lol. It is so good to watch Becca’s success grow and watch her continue to push the envelope with new and innovative designs every year. If you haven’t already seen the collection, take a gander inside!

 This dress is definitely a statement piece! Karen Millen has designed most of my best dresses. This one is like nothing I have ever seen or ever owned until now. I love the pleated skirt and sheer sleeves.

 The pattern is consistent through the back of the dress as well.
To compliment the dress I gave myself a metallic smokey eye and painted my nails in OPI’s “Peace and Love” color which shines of purple and teal. It is such an incredible color.

To accessorize the dress, I wore some silver gems and a simple black Kate Spade purse.

For shoes I wore these Zara pumps. I was going to wear a boot with a clear heel but they looked weird so I just went with these.

NBA2k13 Party at 40/40

 The other night my beau invited me out to the 40/40 club for an NBA2k13 hosted by Jay Z. I was excited to come and show my support especially since my beau designed the exclusive basketball of the game. I have never been to the 40/40 club and I am not sure if they do this all the time but the hors d’oeuvres were delicious. I don’t drink so when I saw food, I immediately became a happy camper. These were no ordinary small hors d’oeuvres either, we enjoyed a whole meal lol. There were also a bunch of Xboxes throughout the club too where people enjoyed playing the new NBA game. I mean, I was in heaven as I am a gamer too but I am not really into sports lol. I was also very delighted to meet a few of my gorgeous readers at the event as well, it is always so sweet and humbling to have people tell you they love your blog. That was definitely the highlight of my night. We also got to see Jay Z and I could have sworn he was taller but overall he seemed like a really humble dude. There were more celebrities there but I was more focused on the mini-cheese burgers lol (they were so good!). Good food plus video games plus good music and good company equals a great time. I wish I could give you a more detailed post on my time at this event with my beau so there aren’t just pictures of myself but there are some things I like to keep to myself <3. Come on, I can’t give it all away!

 I wanted to be simple and chic in a little black dress. This one is by Stop Staring.

My stockings are by Agent Provocateur and my satchel is by Betsey Johnson. I wish I knew who made my shoes as they say “Made in Italy” but that is still a mystery.

Dress for success!

 Today I went on a job hunt and also had a meeting with a good friend of mine from Limite Magazine. This may not be your typical “dress for success” outfit, but for me it is..I wanted to make sure that every place I dropped my resumé off to, would remember me. Plus I just wanted to dress up  lol. I felt like myself today. My hat is from Jaxon, my coat, purse, glittered mary jane’s, button-down, and skirt was all Betsey. The Broche and ring are vintage. Look out for me on WilliamYan.com as well, I bumped into Will while I was rushing off to my meeting and he took my picture.

What I wore today

 Hey readers! I apologize for my lack of posts but I have been terribly busy working on tons of projects within the past few weeks. Yesterday I headed out to midtown to do a photo shoot for a magazine, I cannot disclose what magazine I shot for just yet but you will all know very soon. In the meantime, check out what I wore to the shoot. It was a beautiful day out and I have been dying to wear a dress. I wore an Armani Exchange leather/jersey dress with my Topshop power shouldered jacket and paired it with Steve Madden patent leather peep-toe pumps and my Barbie satchel. My shades are from Nasty Gal vintage.

These are photos of me after the shoot so I still had the makeup on. The makeup artist did a great job aside from being totally awesome and extremely funny. You can tell its different from my normal way of doing makeup but I love it. It’s a soft cat-eye.

Fashion on a budget: Mandee!

 While touring my new neighborhood I ran across a shop calledMandee and I regret not going in any sooner. If you are looking for deals on Steve Madden, Miss Sixty, and other brands, this is the go-to place. Even if you aren’t looking for any brands in particular, this is a great place for fashion on a budget. Sadly the staff at Mandee already knows me because I am constantly going in there looking for more bargains lol. Last week I took a friend there and ended up leaving with a pair of rain boots, some cute pom pom pumps, and a cool winter hat. Sadly I took her back the next day and I left with a coat….but it was on SALE!!! Ok so maybe I have a problem, but this is what I got!

 y hat was $12.00 and my shoes were buy one get one %50 off! I ended up getting these pom pom pumps for $15!

 While skimming through my favorite section, the saleeee section, I found this awesome dress coat! It reminds me so much of something Betsey Johnson would make that I couldnt resist buying it! I love the print and the price, just $24.99 because it was 50% off!

Finally something I can wear with these damn CL pumps!

Varius outfit
