Drumrolls, please! The collection I shot in Brazil with → Chica Bolacha is finally online and available from today! It’s incredible to see the results, I’m more than happy and unspeakably proud to be the face of such a gorgeous collection. Being a professional model for one day was an amazing experience, especially because I’d normally never have the tiniest chance to be a model, since I’m only 5’3” short. It’s a huge honor to be chosen for such great work and I’m pretty antsy to show you all the pictures and – OMG! – a video! It’s been on replay since I got it a few weeks ago – I love it so, so much, even though hearing myself speak Portuguese is extremely weird (totally cool, though!). I love every outfit, each skirt and top, the places we chose as backgrounds, the music, you know: everything. :)

I’m so thankful for all the beautiful things I get to see and do thanks to blogging, thanks to something I really love doing and dedicate all my heart to. I’m thankful for everyone who believes in me – not only my family and friends, but also you, my dear readers, and all the people who work with me because they love my work and appreciate it. My special thanks today, of course, goes out to the lovely team from Chica Bolacha – it was great to be your dress-up doll, to spend the day with you and laugh so, so much. Thank you for choosing me as your model, flying me to São Paulo and making me look so beautiful in your clothes (by the way: it’s a purely Brazilian production, from the first sketches to the final product!)! ♥ Thank you for the love!

Of course, another special thank you goes out to → Adriana Libini, the photographer – who took these amazing pictures! – and the team that created such a great video! :)

Okay – let’s go! :)

Today, I want to share a few pictures of this year’s → Plus Size Fashion Days here in Hamburg with you. It’s been a crazy and incredible time, a (hopefully not really) once-in-a-lifetime experience and so much fun! Tanja, the founder of our German PSFDays asked me if I wanted to be a part of it, to be one of the models on the runway, and I didn’t hesitate one second and said yes. Being part of this body positive and especially size diversity project is an honor and seriously: I really wanted to be a model at least for one day – because I’m actually way too small to do it professionally (so sad about this!).

Of course, there’s lots of work and training behind the whole show, we started on Thursday with the fittings and I was chosen to walk for Manou Lenz, Happy Size and Beautiful Curves. I was extremely happy with my outfits, two beautiful dresses, color and the prettiest hot pink lingerie for my last walk. Yup, you’re reading right: lingerie. Underwear. Half-naked. Me. Let me say: my whole body was shaking, my heart was bumping like a machine gun and my knees felt like melted butter when I stood there, next to all the other girls fully dressed. ;) But it was amazing. The house was full and the audience freaked out when we stepped outside in the dark and the lights went on. So, so crazy! Too much adrenaline going on! ;)

Unfortunately, being a model made it impossible for me to take pictures, but luckily my husband had a seat in the front row as my blogger assistant and made a few snapshots. And thank God there were lots of professional photographers ( for example → Belmondo Photography and → Andreas Grav) and I’m allowed to share their pictures with you. :)

The official video isn’t online yet but hopefully soon – of course, I’ll update this post as soon as it’s available and let you know about it on my social media channels. ;) So don’t forget to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. And maybe even on Snapchat (luziehtan). ;)
