I actually wanted to name this post “Os quindins de yayá” because the whole look reminds me of one of my favorite childhood movies, “The Three Caballeros”, with Donald Duck, José Carioca and Panchito – there’s a scene where they travel to Bahia and meet Aurora Miranda, Carmen Miranda’s younger sister, and → she sings this song called “Os quindins de yayá” wearing a typical look from Bahia. I think my look is a modern and more minimalistic version of it and that’s where the actual idea for today’s post title came from. But I went for “Level 5” cause that’s where we shot the photos and it’s a bit easier and doesn’t need any explanation. ;)

So, I’m back with another head wrap and a Carmen (Miranda, haha!) top, which I wore with a black maxi skirt for a casual and relaxed summer look. And since I’m currently so in love with → Urban Decay’s “XX Vice LTD Reloaded” palette, I did a very special colorful make-up that’s supposed to match the silk scarf turban. Even though I love natural make-ups (well, only talking about the eyes), I’m having fun doing color bombs at the moment – the palette made me do it and I’m actually very happy about this! Somehow I’m going back to the (blog’s) roots, when everything was more experimental and colorful – even though I’m happy that my fashion style changed a lot. ;)

So many people are afraid to wear yellow – why’s that? There are so many gorgeous shades of yellow and therefore at least one for everyone. ;) Just give it a try!

When I saw this dress at H&M (don’t worry, it’s sold out but still available, but you’ll have to check the shop early in the morning – and you can also get it in white!), I was really happy because it looks like → Self Portrait’s “Azaelea” dress, which isn’t available in my size, so this was my chance and I’m so happy that I got it even though it’s pretty pricey for H&M, but it’s worth every penny! Actually, this was also one of my choices for the wedding and I’m sure this would still be a great look if I hadn’t chosen my pink look. ;)

Oh, and – the fuzzy hair is back! It’s been some time since I last wore my hair like that. Now it’s finally long enough to do this kind of hair style, yay! :)

I’ve collaborated with persona and some fellow international bloggers for a special little summer project and my first #BeachBodyNotSorry post of this year. :)

By the way: you can already see the same swimsuit (but totally different evening looks) at → Susie, → Iris and → Theodora. Don’t hesitate to check the hashtag #mypersonasummerday on Instagram to see who else is sharing her beach look and how you can spend your summer day with persona. ;)

As a huge fan of African prints, this swimsuit was my first choice and since we all fell in love with the same suit, I had to buy it myself cause there was none left (the other girls were faster, haha – it-piece alert!), but I had this idea in mind and didn’t want to change anything. But that’s fine because now I’ve got another swimsuit for you to win today! It’s not the same one but a great basic swimsuit with lovely details, which will hopefully make a girl very happy and ready for this summer! ♥

At least by buying something from my own money (I know, people always think that bloggers get everything for free, so that’s why I’m mentioning this today!), I’m totally allowed to say that this was a good investment (but believe me – I never lie when it comes to gifted products!). It is a very cool swimsuit, of high quality and perfect for women with fuller figures (and those who have more bust than me – so they can fill out the cups, which you can also remove if you don’t like them). ;) This is definitely a swimsuit for every day and it also looks great if you want to incorporate it into your evening look – and that’s just how we’ll change the topic from the daytime beach look to evening chic. My idea was to bring the print back in with the pochette and add a neutral color (I love this very special purple-ish brown!) with the dress.

The good thing about this dress is that it’s very light – that’s why it is perfect for summer, warm evenings, BBQs outside or rooftop pool parties. You can also wear it without a belt, I just went for it because I love to accentuate my waist, but it definitely looks great without it too and the loose fit is even more comfortable. ;)

One of you can now win this swimsuit worth €135 in size L (EU size 46/48). Especially if you’ve got a larger cup size (I’d say it probably fits best with a D or E cup), you’ll love this swimsuit. ♥ All you have to do is leave a comment and tell me where you’d like to wear it – by Friday, June 24. The winner will be announced here and in the comment section and should write me an e-mail to receive the swimsuit. Please don’t forget to read the terms and conditions1 at the end of this blog post!

The winner is 202snoopy – congrats!

After my first very → edgy style with Scarlett & Jo’s → tulle skirt, I’ve got something more colorful and casual for you today. :) And I told you all that there would be a change today – yes, it’s a short video! I can’t promise that there will always be videos for each new outfit, but we’ll try our best to keep filming a bit of my looks so you can see them in motion. I think that’s even more interesting, right?

I’ve been thinking about how I can style this tulle skirt in a different way than before and my first idea was “black and white”, but hey, that’s what I always think first and it’s kind of boring to always go for your favorite style – so why not try something else first? I’m sure that I’ll also show this skirt with something white around soon, but until then I wanted something with colors and went for this floral bustier (it’s a miracle that I can still wear it, since it’s already pretty old, from 2010!), my favorite green jacket and some basic accessories. By the way: these sandals are looking for a new owner (even though I really love them), so if you’re interested, please write me a message. ;)
