Red Phase


Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Quick Note:

Red Vintage Blazer …for the second time! I decided to wear this wonderful jacket again but with different pieces. I got the red that hat from my mum a couple of years ago but I never really took advantage of it. FINALLY! Wearing my new Zara wedges and my DIY tank top! With a couple of stitches I made my own cat … (inspired by Miu Miu…what else;)

Later that day (it was so coooooold outside) I visit a good friend at the make up studio! I had so much fun because this was my very first time ever someone else was doing my make up!! Really relaxing! I should definitely do that again…As you can see she put the focus on the lips. It’s more a sophisticated look. Special thanks to Christina (for the make up and taking these pictures) and to Nico (the cat)!

8 Questions

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I got tagged by Luisa from http://fashionshows.blogspot.com and these are her 8 Questions for me:

First of all I’m an austrian fashion blog started January 2010.

1) Paying by card or paying with cash?

It depends. When I go shopping I pay most of my purchases by card but
Sometimes I definitely prefer paying with cash. It’s true, you spend more money if you use credit cards ;).

2) Do you prefer less expensive clothing labels or cheap no-name clothes?

The mix is the key. Style is not based on expensive labels. Personally I think you can create really cool outfits with a low budget.
You don’t have to buy all the expensive stuff if you want to look good. I definitely prefer unique clothing. Vintage pieces, flea market stuff, no-name clothing …but there are definitely expensive items I would love to have!!!!

3) Do you get financially supported by your parents? Sometimes I get supported but I also pay my purchases with my own money.

4) America or England?

The UK and the US are totally different countries. It’s very difficult to compare. It’s not a matter of “better”. Every country has its own culture, clichés, lifestyle, places, infrastructure, people…..etc.
If we only speak about the country i can definitely say that the city of London is amazing but also the countryside is really beautiful. The views are incredible.
America is a lovely country as well with many beautiful and interesting places. Who is not amazed by New York?

5) Elle or Vogue?

If I have to choose between Elle or Vogue….difficult!!!
We all know that “Vogue” is the Fashion Bible and that Elle adds not only fashion related topics, but I do not feel like Vogue or Elle caters to my needs. These magazines are more dedicated to high-fashion. I really love to look at those amazing high-fashion features but I can only dream about having all that stuff in my closet.
So it definitely depends on my needs but I love leafing through magazines.
When it comes to print media I often buy the “In style” magazine because I really like the layout, the stories, the features… my daily newspaper in the internet is definitely ‘bloglovin’. Fashion on real people.

6) What do you like most about blogging?

First of all: It’s fun and I can share all my new looks with people around the fashion blogger world and it’s cool to find new places when It comes to taking new pictures.
Besides that you get to know new people and built up a community!


7) Do you like TV-series or shows?

At the moment I am obsessed with “How I met your mother”. Cutest story I have every watched on TV but I also love “the City” and all the typical TV shows for girls.

8) What is your dream job?

I would love to turn my hobby into a profession…
It seems that a lot of fashion bloggers have the same dream (working in the fashion industry) but first of all you really have to get your foot in the door …
But I believe in myself and hopefully reach my goal!

DIY Black Playsuit

I definitely jumped into this little project because I had absolutely no clue how to sew a playsuit! Result: I am able to make clothes…no one showed me how to do it and I also haven’t read any books like “How to sew”. I just started! I was always wondering if I’m able to sew anything like a skirt, shirt or pants etc. but I was always a little bit overwhelmed with the sewing machine until I realized that it is not as difficult as it looks.
First of all I have to say…the top is from H&M which I have not worn for a really long time and that’s why I decided to “recycle” it. (Conclusion: make the BEST out of your old clothes ).
Where did I get the cut?
From another playsuit from Zara (second last post). Top is from H&M.





(these are the 4 pieces that are going to be sewn together)


At the beginning I had no clue how to start! I was only inspired by all those playsuits which are totally easy and comfortable to wear.
Just because of the fact that you only have to "jump" into it and suddengly you're dressed up without thinking "What should I wear"!




(my sewing machine & Chanel lunch paper bag)

How long did it take to sew this playsuit?

It took me 6 or 7 hours in a row. It’s like solve a riddle. Which piece should I sew first ....and how do I get them together…and finally put some tulle lace around the leg-openings.
That's the first time turning my ideas and concepts into real clothing. You only have to figure out how someting goes together.
