I wore this for a very special date with one of my dear readers – she wrote me such a lovely e-mail telling me that she first saw me and my blog in a magazine years ago and that she’d love to meet me by coincidence one day, since we both live in Hamburg. I suggested that we should just go out for ice cream together instead of waiting for a miracle (let’s be honest: the world’s a small place but why wait?) and that’s what we did. So here’s a very special virtual hug for you, Rebecca! :)

It’s so great to meet new people because of something that you love. It’s amazing to get to know them (since you all already know me!), talk about common interests and find new friends. Seriously, this blog brings me so much joy – it was the best choice to start it more than 7 years ago. And here I am, still sharing my outfits with you, talking about make-up (well, from time to time, I know I don’t do it a lot anymore) and fighting for body positivity every day. What started as “I’m bored, let’s do a blog about my looks” turned into something so important and special for me, and sharing it all with you is what makes me very happy.
Wow, what a deep outfit post. Well, sometimes I just write what I feel. :) Have a lovely week, everyone! ♥

After lots of elegant outfits, it’s time for a casual look – this is one of my favorites for any casual occasion: shopping, coffee with friends, just for a walk,… I really love the combination of my comfiest pants with a statement shirt (still a lover of Noble Project – I think it’s time to get another charity shirt!), my favorite denim jacket and neon kicks. Of course there has to be a special fashion touch: choker, my beloved Chanel earrings, the best bag in the world (seriously, this one was my best buy ever!) and funny socks. ;)

This black and white dress instantly caught my eye when I saw it. I was just browsing through the online store, checking the novelties – another love-at-first-sight piece and there it was, already on its way to me. :)

I truly love the wonderful knit material, it’s pretty elastic and also a bit heavy, it falls beautifully and we don’t have to talk about the gorgeous black and white pattern. It’s just a tiny little bit too short for my own taste but well, you only live once, right? ;)

Since I love black and white total looks, I went for an elegant and ladylike style (of course with my “Lady Dior”, the perfect bag for this look!). Red lips and voilà, good to go on a chic stroll through the streets of Paris. Or on a bridge in Hamburg, haha! :)

I already wrote about → my visit to the Curvy® plus-size fair, today I’ve got my outfit for you. I went for a special but casual look – instead of wearing black (which is the most-seen color at such events), I wanted to show some color (remember my resolutions for 2016? Take this as an example! ;)), that’s why I chose my favorite skirt ever, the “Eyoma” skirt from Dearcurves – and it was a major success at the fair, everyone loved it! If you want to get your own skirt, you can order it → here and by using the discount code queen20, you’ll get 20% off! ;)

When I last wore the skirt, I went for the actual lookbook look and paired it with the “Eyoma” body with a traditional Ankara print, so this time I dug up a veeeery old piece out of my closet. The body is from the 2009 “Divided Exclusive” collection (and it’s size EU 40, still fits without any problems!), so you see: sometimes keeping things and wearing them again is worth it – I think that’s a great match!

For the casual look, I had to choose flats. Since it doesn’t matter which kind of flat shoes you wear for about 6 hours of standing and walking around (your feet will always hurt afterwards, as did mine), I did something that’s quite unusual for me: I wore sneakers. But of course not without being fabulous and picking my sequined Chucks – had to be sparkling. :) I’m normally totally against that mixture, but somehow I really loved the combo of those glittering shoes with the rather elegant look. And it shows that you can wear this skirt like that – casually – too.
