Here we are – I’m sorry for the lack of posts because of my stay at home around my birthday (thanks for all your lovely birthday wishes!!), but I’m finally back with some new outfits and a new haircut. Since everybody has been asking a lot if I’m letting my hair grow: yes! I just need some kind of change for some time, but of course I’ll always come back to short hair in the end. It’s just that a little change never hurts and I kind of feel like going for a bit longer hair again – and blonde! I really wanna be blonde again, like → here or → here. As you can see, I’m already a tiny bit blonder and my baby pony tail is gone because that was mostly neck hair growing out and I really needed a fresh cut. Now, my hair is ready to grow coordinately and will hopefully be good for my next appointment at my hair magician – we’ve got some things in mind… :)

About my look: as you can see, this is a totally casual look and it’s a style I’m wearing super often because I first fell in love with the bomber jacket and then with the whole look. You know I’m always kind of a overdressed glam girl, but this is what I love to wear for running errands or simply casual dates with my friends. And still, it has that kind of special touch because of the glitter details on the satin jacket, the transparent sweater and the ripped jeans (yay – more jeans!). ;)

Bag: Dior “Lady Dior”

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. :)

Cape: H&M Trend
Sweater: Doris Streich
Pants: Via Appia Due
Mules: Steffen Schraut
Bag: Gucci “Soho”

Hat: H&M Divided
Bracelet: Hermès
Alternatives: ASOS sweater,

Isn’t this cape awesome? I got it last year, now it’s on sale and you can get it → here. I really like that it can be worn as a cape or poncho (just button the sleeves on or off) – I actually prefer the cape version because it makes the body shape more visible.

By the way, I’ve never been a blazer girl. They just never seem to fit me well enough and I feel that I look somehow strange in them. But this blazer cut is very cool, and together with those cape sleeves it made me buy this very special piece. :)

I went for a very business-like look, kind of androgynous with the black pants, no cleavage and the hat. I don’t wear this kind of style very often (even though I got another boyish look coming!) because I definitely prefer feminine outfits with dresses and skirts, but I really like this look on me. And you can definitely make it feminine enough with the right make-up – guess that’s where I transformed it into my own style. ;)

Coat: Marina Rinaldi (vintage)
Sweater: Doris Streich
Culotte: Manon Baptiste
Belt: Ted Baker “Julo”
Boots: Acne  Studios “Alma Texture”
Earrings: & Other Stories
Bracelet: Hermès
Alternatives: Monki coat,
ASOS sweater, Fashion Union culotte,
Pieces belt, River Island boots,
ASOS earrings

All black is my all-time favorite. I’d even say that it’s the most sophisticated look a fashionista can wear and if you add that little special extra (in my case it’s the bright red matte lip color), you’ll look stylish as hell. ;)

Culottes were one of the most interesting clothing pieces of last year. I think they are pretty nice and very versatile, you can create extremely cool looks with them and even though you’re almost wearing shorts in winter, you’ll still stay warm enough. Normally, culottes are a bit longer, but I had mine shortened a little more than usual because I think that I’m actually a bit too short to wear them in calf length. I guess that’s the best style of them for me. :)

I went for an all-black look, wearing a very cozy and comfortable sweater and almost flat boots. My favorite vintage coat is my best friend in winter – you’ve already seen it a lot here on the blog. And its texture somehow even matches my boots. It’s all about the details, right? ;)
