I’m definitely a spring lover – the weather is just right for me: not too warm, not too cold (even though the majority would say that it’s still too cold for bare legs and sandals). I wish it could be like this the whole year!
On one of the first warm days of the year, I took my chance to step outside in my beloved Chanel pearl sandals and go for a pastel look from head to toe, enjoying the sunshine and beautiful view at our harbor.

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. ♥

Today’s look is all about that navy blue combo, consisting of the bralette and midi skirt. The skirt is extremely awesome, since it’s pretty heavy and therefore falls very nicely (and in one of the pictures it somehow even looks like culottes – and I like it!). The bralette can be worn differently, you don’t need to cross it in front, it’s actually a simple halterneck top, but I decided that for this look it looked even better crossed. :)
It was still pretty warm when we shot these pictures (in November, oops!), but already cold enough to need a jacket. The blazer was exactly what I needed that day (I’m actually a bit more unsusceptible to cold temperatures than average), but now it will definitely start to get warmer – depending on where you live or are right now. ;)

We already had a few warm days here in Hamburg and yet I am here sitting in front of my computer with a cold while writing this post. The cold caught me by surprise on the weekend, I spent most of the time in bed or watching TV on the couch, trying to get healthy by → snacking pomelo and drinking tea, and now I just hope that I’ll be better very soon. We couldn’t shoot this weekend even though there’s lots to do, but I hope that we can do it next weekend and prepare many beautiful outfits for you!
Today’s outfit is about → this 2 in 1 dress from Scarlett & Jo. People always think that it’s a skirt but it’s actually a dress with a wide elastic waist band (which I hid under a belt). It’s very comfy and looks great on everyone (just have a look at the product page!). It’s already my third one, even though I “destroyed” one of them by → making it a skirt (I just didn’t really like the top on me) and wearing it with a S&J shirt (which creates a look like the dresses), and → a fourth one is already on its way and will be up here soon. I also got an actual → skirt of the same style and it’s always a pleasure to wear these pieces. As usual, I’m wearing a UK size 16, and it fits like a glove.
As you can see, I finally got my hands on a pair of Valentino’s “Rockstud” pumps. I got them on SALE with 30% off and I’m pretty sure that it was the best color choice I could make (since there are so many different color options – it’s incredible!). I still have to get used to high heels without platform. I usually buy platforms because they’re just more comfortable. Luckily, the “Rockstuds” aren’t too high (10.5 cm), so they’re easy to walk in and get used to it.
