Body in Photo

inspired by helmut lang a/w 2010, i decided to belt my fur vest. i was trying to find a way to make it differ slightly from the exact look when i remembered this belt i recently found while cleaning out my closet. the belt is like 10 years old or something crazy. i ended up loving how it looked; this cognac brown goes so well with black and since the belt is made for your hips, it was a little big and therefore sat perfectly disheveled and crooked on my waist.

i’ve been wearing this vest like crazy before it becomes spring and i no longer can throw it over everything.although, with over a foot of snow on the ground outside, it doesn’t seem like warm weather will be here anytime soon.

thanks for all of the congrats on my WWW style stalker feature. i really don’t deserve all of this praise! thank you from the bottom of my ♥

oh…..

i’ve lowered the prices in my blog shop – nothing over $25!!

wow oh wow, i’m on whowhatwear.com in their february edition of style stalker!

it’s their monthly post about regular old gals showcasing their personal style.

i’ve always loved how they take time away from celebrity/runway inspired posts and turn the spotlight on their dedicated readers.

this is my second feature on WWW (first was when their style stalker posts were still called “myspace muse” – see here), and i’m no less excited this time around!

my favorite part is reading what they wrote about your outfit – the writers over there really have a way with words.

five other stylish ladies, including my gorgeous blogging pal liz from late afternoon, are in the feature with me, and you can check it out here!

thanks WWW, i’m honored and humbled all over again.

i promise promise promise an outfit post tomorrow.

shot some cool looks i’ve worn in the past two weeks that i can’t wait to show you guys.

Swedish stylist, blogger and fashionista Caroline Blomst offers you the chance to win a great outfit that includes essentiel pieces that you definately need in your closet. You can chose your favorite look from 14 combinations.

Above you can see my favorite look: H&M open-toe Heels, a studded leather jacket from Topshop, striped dress and skirt with leather details from Lindex.

I chose this look because it represents absolutely my style and weardrobe. It’s a cool and casual look but yet fierce, that’s why it I’d wear it for going-out as well as for school (with flat shoes). Especially the Topshop jacket made me fell in love with this look because I’ve been desperately seeking a similar one without succes. Besides the striped shirt is a pretty basic you’re always in need of and the skirt seems ver unique with its leather look details. And the shoes…they wouldn’t only look good, they would also have a meaningful employment by helping me to improve my ‘walking-on-high-heels’-skills.

happy valentine’s day to the two loves of my life,

and to all of you, my dear readers!

I abandoned hope! Winter just won’t leave Germany and I’m really startingt to get in some kind of ’snow-depression’. I just hate it and can’t stand it anymore. Definately time to think of something else, so how about a little fashion prediction for spring – in case that it will arive eventually – ?

After leather jackets, skirts and pants our closets will be afflicted now by leather shorts. They were already shown at many FW ‘09 and repeatedly on the SS ‘10 runways and lookbooks.

I like them a lot but I didn’t get one yet. Maybe it’s because I always feel some kind of nasty if I wear leather items? Well I’m gonna stick to trying them and maybe I can even wear them with tights if the winter decides to be a little more indulgent….
