It’s really disappointing when brands remove products from their range – or when your favorites are only limited editions. That’s why today, I want to write about the discontinued favorites I want back, because they are amazing and should be available for everyone (and forever!).

[Werbung | Advertisement – collaboration with persona by Marina Rinaldi]
I had the pleasure to style my very own persona by Marina Rinaldi look and therefore the chance to choose my favorite pieces of the latest collection. Since I really love Marina Rinaldi and the younger line persona by Marina Rinaldi, it was hard to make a choice. In the end I had three favorite outfits and let them choose which outfit they want me to shoot. :) Decisions are not my thing, haha!
They couldn’t have picked a better outfit, because I’m more than happy with these pieces. The pleated skirt is one of the most amazing skirts I’ve ever worn. It’s so wonderfully lightweight and it was so much fun to shoot it in the wind. You can get the skirt → here directly at persona or → here at navabi. I went for a EU size 44 and it fits perfectly, even a little bit loose around my waist.
The blouse is transparent and actually comes with a simple and plain white top that can be worn underneath. I chose a white body (from La Perla) because I liked the look better. I really fell in love with the blouse and its delicate floral lace design, which is very, very beautiful. I also chose size 44 here, even though blouses are always very difficult for me because of my large hips – luckily, I had no problems with the fit, it’s just perfect. You can get it → here.
To complete my look, I chose my black and white “Rockstuds”, which are the best possible match for the whole outfit, a huge hat (which was definitely no fun to shoot because it was so windy and I almost lost it a few times, but it just looks amazing, right?) and some silver details, like the belt and my earrings.
Honestly, I’ve been writing it a lot this year and I somehow think that it’s really a year of favorites, but this is another look to be called “one of my absolute favorites”. ;)

Finally: here’s the first outfit with the dress of my dreams. It was kind of a coincidence that I saw it because I was checking the mytheresa SALE but ended up having a look at the new collection. And there it was: THE dress. Honestly, if I weren’t married already, this would be the dress I’d wear. There’s no need for white on a wedding day when you can wear this. :) I probably wouldn’t even need a groom because I’d marry the dress (haha, just kidding – or not?). :) I’m so in love and extremely happy that I finally got the chance to buy a Dolce & Gabbana dress because I seriously never thought I’d ever fit into anything from the designer duo. I guess this dress is proof that even if you’re plus size, you should always give the pieces you’ve fallen in love with a chance, try them on and see if they fit. Because this is an Italian size 50, which makes it a EU size 46, but it’s actually a 44 and, lucky me, I wear a size 44. So if I hadn’t even given the dress a chance, I wouldn’t be the happiest girl in the world now (even though my bank account cried a lot after my visit to their boutique). This dress is the most precious piece I own and I’ll wear it until it falls apart (please never!). We already shot the second look I had in mind when I saw it and a third one is already planned. So this is part one of my poppies and daisies romance. ♥
#outfitpreview • These are only a few of my next looks up here. I can’t wait to show you all of them because they’re all just awesome. :) On Friday, you’ll get to see the one in the middle, my birthday dress. ;)
#foodie • Let’s talk about food. I’ve been trying a few new places for me here in Hamburg, like “Paledo” (Lehmweg 31A) and “MAD about juice” (Mühlenkamp 12), where I had açaí bowls. I really loved the granola at “Paledo”, but their “Classic Brazil” açaí tasted more like banana than açaí because they mix their base with banana and guaraná, and I think it’s too much banana. “MAD about juice” seems to use frozen açaí, which reminded me more of the Brazilian original. They also added different fruits, like banana, kiwi and goji berries, a bit of granola and chia seeds. My favorite!
Talking about chia seeds, I finally fell in love with them and started to create a few chia puddings – the one in my picture is with regular milk and a bit of cinnamon, topped with homemade apple sauce from my mother.
And for our anniversary on March 10, my husband and I picked up dinner at “Henssler at Home” – they still don’t deliver to us but their sushi is great, so we treated ourselves to some. If you want to know more about it, you can read my review → here. In this picture, you can see their “Creamy Tuna Tatare”, it’s utterly delicious!
#interview • I mentioned it a bit too late in my February recap, so many of you probably didn’t see it – I’ve been chosen as “Fashion Blogger of the Year 2015” by Curvaceous Redemption Magazine and → answered a few questions (page 50). I really like the interview and I also feel very honored to receive this title.
#purrrr • Just because the world needs to see my little boy from time to time. He’s already turning 9 this year. Time flies…
#fanart • It’s still crazy to see that people take the time to draw ME! It’s incredible and I feel very honored to be their inspiration for such amazing drawings. Please have a look at Martina’s → Instagram!
