IAA - Frankfurt

On Friday I went to the trade visitor day from the IAA (International Motor Show) in Frankfurt, to take a look at the new innovations in the car world. For the whole day we went from one brand to another and it was very inspiring to see what they came up with.
When it comes to colors the industry is very focused on the typical white, silver, black and red, but blue is also on the way. They even presented quite a few matt and semi matt cars, as well as crazy futuristic designs looking like they are part of a spaceship.
All in all I was very impressed by the new technology, that includes autonomous driving and parking assistants which basically do everything for you, and the awesome new designs.
I know this blog is mainly about fashion, but in my opinion cars are a growing part of the fashion culture and you will see, it'll follow this futuristic and minimalist simple way the car designs have already taken.







But now to the outfit I was wearing:
To fit in to the very modern and edgy surrounding I chose to go black and white with some gold details. The turtleneck and the simple print from the top paired with lots of back and leather seems to go very well with the futuristic environment in my eyes.

Top - Zara
Leather Jacket - Forever 21

Sky Garden | London

For my dad's birthday this year we went to Sky Garden in London for one of the nicest dinners I have ever had. I did not know what to expect from this place, but it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere, not to mention the food at the restaurant on the 37th floor above the actual garden. Once the sun had gone down, the bar area had a band playing throughout the night which made the whole scene absolutely unreal. Looking over the entire city while being in such a pretty place was an experience I recommend to everyone. For the occasion I decided to dress smart-casual, as we arrived in the late afternoon, yet I didn't want to go to casual. So I opted for some of my classics.

Top - Zara
Leather leggings - h&m
Chelsea boots - asos
Handbag - Rebecca Minkoff

OOTD in France

Strasbourg | France

Two days ago my boyfriend and I wanted to take advantage of his last free days and decided to take a short trip to Strasbourg. From the lake Constance it only took us two and a half hours by car, so we left early in the morning so we could have a full day in the city. Even though I've been to Strasbourg before, the beauty of it still amazed me.
One thing to know about me (and Britta) is that I could die for good macarons and baguette, so France with its cute, little patisseries is always like a food paradise for me! If you ever go to visit Strasbourg or France in general, you should definitely go to a "PAUL" bakery, because they have the best macarons and baguettes I ever had.

But now to the outfit. Of course you should dress up a little to go with the city lifestyle, especially at the department stores such as "Printemps" or "Galeries Lafayette", where they sell  the most luxurious fashion, and even if it's not affordable, is absolutely beautiful to see.

OOTD at Lake Constance

Constance | Germany

I spent most of my summer break at my family's home right by the lake Constance. It's the ideal place to relax, swim, sail and prepare for my upcoming exams in fall. A few days ago one of my best friends and I finally managed to spend some time together, so we took a walk by the lake and decided to take some pictures because of the beautiful fall atmosphere. Luckily we dressed up a little in case we considered going out for dinner, so the outfits were a little more put together than normal.

At the end of the day we decided to stay in, and made some baked potato wedges with guacamole, but we still managed to get a few shots of one of my favorite fall-appropriate outfits.

Top - Zara

Cardigan - Mango

Jeans - Only

OOTN in Greece

Corfu | Greece

During my four months summer break following my first year at university, one of my closest friends and I decided we should find a relaxing spot somewhere in Europe that we could spend a week at, eating tropical fruit and lying by a pool. Not only was the island Corfu in Greece the perfect spot because of its beauty, but the hotel and people just made it all the more ideal. We stayed at the Sensimar Hotel (which I can only recommend), spending most of our dinners at the included buffet. Though, one of the nights we decided to spoil ourselves a little and head up to the four start Italian restaurant for which we of course, dressed a little nicer than usual.

Even though I thought the wall in the background was the prettiest - here is to my outfit, consisting of some of my favorite items.

Top - Zara

Skirt - Zara

Sandals - Local shoe store
