After all those super cozy winter looks, here’s a more extravagant and risky one. ;) It’s been almost 10 years since the Jimmy Choo x H&M collection launched in 2009 and I’m still wearing this jumpsuit from time to time. It has become a real classic in my closet and I’ll never give it away until it falls apart. :) It’s such a wonderful piece that keeps bringing me joy and all those sexy feels! 

You’ve already seen loads of “all black” looks here on the blog and it’s something I really wear a lot but this time, I added something special: a blazer! I really don’t wear them often, unfortunately, cause most of them don’t suit me as well as this one. I’m pretty sad that Murek Hamburg is not on the market anymore because they created so many beautiful clothes and this blazer is one of them. By the way: it’s not as shiny as in the pictures – we’ve tried some special edgy editing for these photos! Somehow, this styling asks for it, right? I love that dark look. :)

The shoes are new and directly from Brazil – my mom got them for me when she went there last time in October. These are my first kitten heel shoes and the thing is, I was always afraid to wear them cause I believed that those short little heels look weird on me, especially cause of my plus-sized body. But here’s the proof that they don’t look weird at all. :) It’s definitely best to try things before refusing them. ;)

Coat: Murek Hamburg
Sweater: Doris Streich
Lace Blouse: Marina Rinaldi
Jeans: sheego
Boots: C&A
Bag: Dior “Lady Dior”
Earrings: Chanel
Alternatives: Miss Selfridge blouse,
ASOS boots

And here’s another new friend – the amazing jeans from sheego I wore on the catwalk at the → Plus Size Fashion Days! These pants are SO amazing, I was absolutely stunned when I put them on for the first time. I usually wouldn’t choose the biker style for myself, but I kind of liked it when I “had” to wear it and got used to it. ;) I actually wanted to buy these jeans in blue too, but they were sold out, so now I’m hoping that they come back so I can get another pair. ;)

These are petite length, which means: perfect for me, as I’m only 5’3” – I’m always happy when I find brands who do shorter lengths because that’s always a minus when I finally find a good pair of jeans or pants in general.

You may remember that in April, I went to the → blogger event at the Murek Hamburg headquarters (P.S.: they’ve got an online shop now!) and we got to choose our favorite pieces from the fall/winter collection. This coat is one of three gorgeous jackets I chose and it was also a bloggers’ favorite. I guess we all put it on our wish list. :)

Blazer: Murek Hamburg
Jumpsuit: Beth Ditto “Modern Love”
High Heels: YSL “Tribute”
Sunglasses: Dior “So Real”
Choker: Jennifer Fisher
Earrings: Dior “Mise en Dior”
Bracelet: Hermès
Alternatives: ASOS jumpsuit,
New Look heels, Ray Ban sunnies,
ASOS choker, ASOS earrings

Yes, you already know this outfit – somehow. Because it was my choice for one set of photos at the → Murek Hamburg blogger event. ;) But since I really fell in love with it, I wanted to do an extra shoot for the blog – so you can see all details. I changed my shoes and the earrings (I mixed two of the “Mise en Dior” earrings for the complete silver look!), but the rest is completely identical to the first pictures.

I didn’t really know Murek until I visited them for the event and now I’m kind of obsessed with their jackets because they really know how to cut them properly and – that’s why I’m truly in love with them – they know how to do a good length for the sleeves. I could usually hide another half arm (at least another hand) in every jacket sleeve, but this one (and the ones that I chose for fall/winter – I hope they arrive sooooon!) has the perfect length for me, even though it’s still a tiny bit too long, but I don’t think that this is something bad. I like it like that.

Anyways, this is another style with my jumpsuit love from Beth Ditto. Next time you’ll see it without a jacket, promise! It’s just that it looks amazing with any blazer, jacket or bolero! ;)

Last Saturday, I went to the → Murek Hamburg headquarters for a great blogger event. The brand presented its current summer collection and a preview of the upcoming winter collection, and we had the chance to create our own styles with the summer pieces. We also got the chance to pre-order our favorites of the winter collection and we probably all fell in love with one special jacket, so keep your eyes open around August – you’ll see it a lot and (I’m pretty sure about this) many different styles with it!

Murek Hamburg is a German brand for occasional wear based in Hamburg. They’re already over 60 years old – which means they’re really experienced in their niche and they really know about fit. Since they’re already established around the world, especially in the Arabian region and Belgium, they now want to get known better here in Germany – and we bloggers want to help, because even though there are a few pieces that are definitely a bit old-fashioned (and have too many rhinestones on them – but here’s something cool: you can order everything without them if you don’t like these little stones!), this brand has potential. And their speciality is plus size because their best-selling sizes are EU48-50 (their sizes go up to 56). So they know what they’re talking about if it’s about plus-size occasional wear. ;)
I think we gave them some good ideas on how to improve the modern style of the brand and I’m pretty sure we’ll see a lot of Murek’s great fashion in the future (of course also up here on the blog because I can’t wait to style my three pieces of the winter collection)!

In order to show what amazing styles you can do with their clothes – not only for special occasions but also day wear – we had a great shoot and I want to share all looks with you. :)
