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.

Here we are, back again with a boyish look. After my androgynous cape style, here’s another mixed style – but this time I’m making a long dress look more masculine with a tie and a small hat. It’s something very different, even more different than my look with the cape, since a tie is something I really haven’t worn before.

I know, it’s probably kind of weird to see me like this – even for me it’s very strange, but I kind of liked “switching” (well, not really, because of the dress) roles for a day. ;) Nevertheless, I’m pretty sure that you won’t see me dressed like this again anytime soon – I’ll always prefer extremely feminine and diva-like looks. ;)

Anyways, I love the combination of black and gray – I find it even more interesting than the classic black and white (but it’s still my favorite). I wanted to make this dress a bit more form-fitting with a belt, and that’s where it all started. Adding the vintage hat (it’s from my father’s grandfather), the tie, the bag and the shoes, it’s a very minimalistic style, but there’s just this special something about it. I also went for a more feminine and smokey make-up in order to make everything look more feminine again. The interesting part about it is that I used some gold for it, even though the rest of the outfit only includes silver hardwear.

Merry Christmas, everyone! :) I hope you’re spending the best quality time with your family and loved ones – and got everything you wished for. ;)
These days, I realized once again that health is the most precious thing we have, since I’ve been sick in bed with a pretty bad cold for a week already and spent yesterday mostly in bed – but at least not alone, and even though it wasn’t very Christmassy up here, I made some delicious Christmas dinner and enjoyed the evening with my husband and cat on the couch watching “The Last Unicorn” – and now I’m writing this blog post. Because there’s still a few posts coming! ;) I missed my Wednesday post since this was the worst day of the week for me, but it will be online next week (little teaser: it’s going to be about my 15 favorites in 2015!), promise!

Today, I’ve got another fall outfit, but as our winter is more like fall this year, I guess it’s okay to post it. And maybe it’s a good idea for a holiday look! Chic but still very comfy, perfect for Christmas lunch or dinner with your family and friends, at home or out – you can’t go wrong with this dress. :)

Sending you all lots of love, peace, happiness and – of course – health! ♥

Visiting a fashion event means: you want to look special. ;) Well, at least as far as I’m concerned. Good to know that I’ve got this special talent: finding cool stuff totally last minute. ;)
It has become kind of a ritual to rummage in the “Gold Label” section at TK Maxx (yes, this is another story of a great find there!). It’s not as regularly updated as the normal clothing sections, but from time to time there are some highlights. And just like with the last dress (remember my → See by Chloé dream dress? Leopard coincidence, haha!), I picked out another beauty. This time, it’s from Diane von Furstenberg (again, and still not a wrap dress) and a real gem. I mean: look at the colors, look at the great cut of this dress! I know we’ve got some major #visiblebellyoutline up there, but who cares (I don’t!)? This is a tight dress, it shows exactly what I got and: I l-o-v-e it. Best splash of color on a hot day (and believe me – I was melting until I put my feet into this deliciously refreshing water! I actually wanted to forget my plans for the day and get naked for a little swim, but don’t tell anyone!). I love this dress so much that I even got crazy and bought another one in the mytheresa SALE, with a → black-and-white print. Can’t wait to receive my package (I really hope it fits – it’s a different fabric, silk-jersey, while this one is pure jersey)!

Anyways, let’s talk about this beautiful little beach we found right after meeting Givenchy and Kenzo on a freakin’ cool house boat. Problem is: I want both now. I fell in love with the idea of waking up in this beautiful bedroom (have a look → here!), opening on of the French doors and jumping (naked, haha!) into the water for a little swim. Then coming back and spending the day at this tiny beach, drinking cocktails and just feeling good. Anyone up to fulfilling my dreams?
