I’m starting pretty early with festive styles, but it’s actually never too early to look festive, right? :) This was a look I had planned to wear in Russia for the evening, but since I had to stay at home, it had to wait until we finally shot it. No real occasion for it yet, but I hope that there’ll be a winter event where I can go out like this. ;)

This dress is part of Scarlett & Jo’s “Couture” range – the dresses are even more elegant and the quality is absolutely impeccable (the fabrics are even more high-quality, which you can especially see and feel when you get this dress in your hands!). The styles are perfect for evening occasions, special parties and events that require a certain dress code, and I can totally recommend getting yourself at least one of them, maybe for the next Christmas party at work or a super festive dinner with your family. The fit is perfect as usual, I’m wearing my normal UK size 16 and it fits like a glove – and creates the most stunning cleavage I’ve ever seen. If you still need a not-so-little black dress, you should try this one for sure!

So this is my last summer post – and for that special occasion, I’ve got a special outfit for you. Once again, more editorial than everyday but certainly a good choice for a summer party or (if you exchange the body for a swimsuit) the beach. So if you’re still planning on going on a vacay, this may be a bit inspirational. ;)

I wanted to try another transparency style. After → Remi Ray’s amazing sheer dress, I wanted something black and not too extravagant. I guess that this is a look that’s easier to recreate, not too daring but still special enough. :) To ease up the black base of the look, I wore a (finally ready-to-wear!) colorful turban and matching sandals – light colors for a soft styling. But of course, I couldn’t resist wearing another statement – the sunnies. I think they round up the slight 70s touch with the turban, kind of “hippie chic”. ;)

Hey everyone – I’m back! I’ve recovered almost 100% and am ready for new adventures for the blog! This week will already be super exciting since I’m (hopefully – let’s just pray that I won’t get sick again!) going to Milan on Friday for a special event with Marina Rinaldi. I’ve never been there before, plus I truly love Marina Rinaldi, so this is going to be awesome! :)

But first, I’m back with another cute Scarlett & Jo look – it’s kind of unusual for me because it’s very playful AND I’m seriously wearing sneakers (casual, casual!). I wore this outfit in August at the German-American Volksfest in Grafenwöhr and it was a good choice, since it was hot and as you’re walking around a lot, flats are definitely what you need on that day.

So, this is → one of the Lollidot dresses (which means: it has a dot print, this time it’s tiny dots in hearts) and you already know the cut from → this dress. I’m wearing a size 16, which isn’t ideal for my small bust, so if you’ve got a similar figure, you can definitely go for a UK 14, maybe even a 12.

But before you buy, I’ve got a little giveaway for you! :) I also received this dress in purple and want to give this one away to one of you. It’s the same dress, size 16. You can have a look at the color → here. All you have to do is leave a comment, telling me something nice (just being honest – I need some kind words right now and why not choose this dress with hearts on it for this kind of way to enter the competition, right? ;)), until this Sunday, September 25. You can find the terms and conditions1 at the end of this post.

The winner is Nicole – congrats! :)

I actually wanted to get → this dress in red, but now I’m more than happy that I got the gray version because it’s much more special. It’s a different color, at least for me, since I don’t have any pieces of this color in my closet.
Also, this dress is just perfect in terms of cut and length (I simply love midis) and the shoulder detail is the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen. The waist detail doesn’t really ask for a belt since it already works great to accentuate your waist and make the dress form-fitted, but I felt a belt would be a nice addition and would give the whole look my own touch. ;)

You all know me, I like to skip the obvious and that’s why I went for beige heels instead of black ones. I think black is too harsh and will somehow break the delicate look – maybe if you choose different accessories to accompany black shoes, they’ll work, but for my look, I just wanted something very feminine and soft.
