Hello Diva! :) Just making fun, this hat kind of brings out the diva in me, but the whole look is somehow cruise-chic, right? ;) Unfortunately, this spot has nothing to do with a glamorous cruise through the Caribbean but some ice-cold water in a park. With bad lighting so you can see my crater-cellulite thighs. But even though I’m mentioning them and some might think that I do so because I feel bad about them, it’s more because I want to say: it’s okay. My skin down there is not perfect. My thighs are huge, and so are my hips and my butt – it’s kind of a family problem and not that easy to just get rid of through exercise. I’ve got some bad lipedema and to be honest: I don’t like it. Yes, there’s something about my body that I don’t like – this doesn’t mean that I’m not “body positive” anymore. Of course I love myself, I even love my legs even though they’re not the most beautiful part about me (plus, again: the lighting is so not flattering!). I’m allowed to find some imperfections and not feel good about them.
But: is this a reason to hide them? I won’t jump into the water wearing long pants. Definitely not. For some, my thighs may be disgusting, others may think that I’m brave because I’m even posting pictures of me showing them, others may not even notice my cellulite – maybe because I’m still confident about my body. It’s okay to have some flaws. I’ve accepted my legs and I’m fine with them.
And that’s why I’ll now stop talking about them and change the topic to this gorgeous bikini: it’s a freestyle thing as the top is from Agent Provocateur and the bottoms from H&M+. I knew I’d never fit into the actual bottoms from Agent Provocateur, so I came up with the idea to do some black and white combo and this is it. Black high-waist pants plus a very special white top (I love it so much!). Add the cruise chic with a huge striped hat and a sheer kimono for even more glam and you’re good to go – for a real cruise or just some splish-splash fun at the park. Feel free to wear whatever you want, whenever you want. :*

Wait, is this really Hamburg? No beach abroad? Yup. We’re back at the dunes… I really love this place and the fine sand makes me feel like I’m on vacation somewhere far, far away. :) Today, I don’t want to write too much – just let you enjoy these pictures, which are my favorites since, like… forever. :) I love the whole look and also, this swimsuit is a piece that made me very happy when I bought it. Here’s another proud addition to my → #BeachBodyNotSorry series and hopefully further proof that curves don’t need to be hidden at the beach!

Outfit ♥ Whitney

ENToday’s outfit is a little more experimental. It wasn’t easy to come up with an idea about how to style this yellow net shirt from Zizzi, but in the end I came to the conclusion that if you can see what’s underneath, it should at least be interesting. The “Whitney” bra from Agent Provocateur (it’s one of my favorites!) is just perfect for this idea – normally, its bondage design is supposed to be extremely sexy (you can move the most important strap), but this way it doesn’t look like I forgot my whip at home. ;) I tried to style it all a little bit like the 80s, that’s why I added some bright orange lips and the geometric earrings. And because it was pretty warm when we took the pictures, I had a refreshing drink. :)

DEHeute gibt’s mal wieder ein etwas experimentelleres Outfit, zumindest, was den oberen Teil angeht. Ich hab’ lang überlegt, was ich mit dem gelben Netzshirt von Zizzi so anstellen soll – und kam am Ende zu dem Entschluss, dass es schon irgendwie interessant drunter aussehen sollte. Der “Whitney”-Bra von Agent Provocateur (übrigens einer meiner absoluten Lieblinge!) ist dafür ja quasi wie gemacht – normalerweise soll der ja eher sexy sein, mit Bondage-Design und der Möglichkeit, das wichtigste Band davon zu verschieben, aber so kombiniert wirkt das alles nicht mehr ganz so als hätte ich meine Peitsche vergessen. ;) Ich habe versucht, alles so ein bisschen in Richtung 80’s zu stylen, also ein bisschen Knallfarbe auf den Lippen und die geometrischen Ohrringe dazu – fertig ist der Look. Und weil es an dem Tag so schön warm war, gab’s noch ein erfrischendes Getränk dazu. :)
