I guess one can say that I read a lot of fashion magazines. Probably more than anyone I know. This means that I have read many editorials and texts of fashion editors, directors and stylist praising the latest trends. At the moment of course, fashion mags are full with the fall/winter collections and I read stuff like “Fall Must-Haves” and “What to wear now” in every single one of them. Editors write that the time of 52 different kinds of grey is over and that it’s time for beautiful colors like orange and green. This made me think. If the majority of designers had shown only shades of black and grey in their fall collections, we would now read things like “The new trend color grey” or “Grey: versatile and classic”.

Every season, editors and fashionistas around the world praise the trends that designers set. And it seems like every trend can be justified. Take for example florals. Now, they might be described as “The comback of femininity”. In a few months the same editors or blogger or whoever interested in fashion might describe florals as “tacky and old fashioned”.

Even I find myself hating things that I loved some time ago. Are we too influenced by the media? Do designers make the trends? Does that make us hypocrites? All I know is that fashion should not be taken too serious (wait…what…did I just say that?!) and that everyone should wear what they feel comfortable in. I just wish that fashion magazines could come up with new headlines and stop the same old recycled terms like “new key-pieces”. Fashion magazines should be more opinionated. Just because something is new or someone important created it, does not make it a “must-have”.

Anyways, I do love my fashion mags and this isnt really a major issue, it’s just something that I found a little bit irritating. But maybe that’s just me…

I’m the best online window shopper. I can look through stuff at asos.com for hours without getting bored. Today I created my perfect fall outfit. So there is this beauuuuutiful dress with a round neckline and long sleeves. I love the fabric, the color and the cute belt that comes with it. My bag would have the same color and would have to be a satchel bag, you can carry it around your wrist or have it hanging from your shoulder and it’s big enough for all my shit - uhm, I mean, for all my very important things ; ) Suede ankle Boots with wide heel, trendy yet comfortable. Now the jacket I chose looks very sporty compared to the rest of the outfit, but every interesting outfit should have a twist - besides, it reminds me of Alexander Wangs collection. The ring is from House of Harlow, can’t go wrong with a big cocktail ring. To add a little color, I would wear this pink and gold Juicy Couture watch, I simply love it! And if I feel very fancy, the lace hat is a great detail! Now if only I had 660 Euros…. that outfit would be MINE!!!

It’s not even fall yet, but the must have item of the upcoming winter is chosen. A Burberry jacket. Not the trenchcoats that made Burberry famous. The “It item” of the winter season will be an aviator jacket, like the one that Bianca Balti wears on the picture above. It looks amazing, warm, soft, trendy and very cool because of the big collar. I want it! BUT of course I cant afford it so I will keep my eyes open for the copies that will appear in the next few weeks in high end street stores. Keepin my fingers crossed!!!

No doubt, plaid shirts are great items in everyones closet, they give you that laid-back college style which I love. Model Anna Selezneva wears her plaid shirt with shorts, a Tee and her Chanel bag. Plaid and Chanel? Couldnt be much more different, but Anna makes it work! Also love her hair, beautiful color and length. Best model street style for a long time!

You think only Lady Gaga could wear this? Well, aparently this lady can too! I took this picture in the Berlin Fashion Week tent today while waiting for the Starstyling show. F0r your information, it was 32 degrees celsius in the tent and already hard to breathe without a scarf covering your whole head. What do you think? Cool or ridiculous?

It is 1 am now as I am writing this so I will make it short, but sweet. The first day of Berlin Fashion Week is over and it was nice, Lala Berlin was my favorite show. Still, it was the small things that really caught my eye, like the shoe and dress shaped cookies at Jette Joops jewellery presentation, the plant in a boot or the amazing studded high heels that some very fashionable girl wore outside of the tent. I will try to get some sleep now so I will be ready for day two.

Oh Miranda….just got engaged and looking so happy and fashionable. Her navy blue romper ist to die for and with the Victoria’s Secret PINK bag that she’s carrying, this could easily be an ad for them - without the exagerrated photoshop they always use.

Question. How much red can you put on one model? Answer. Red sequin dress, red nail polish, red lips, red blusher, red eyeshadow, red hair. And it looks fabulous.

Please lock me up inside the new Forever 21 Store at Times Square. It’s so pretty, so girly, so fashionable. I wanna live there and try on clothes all day. Why can’t all stores look like this…

Although I still prefer to actually leave the house to go shopping, I have to admit that online shopping can be fun too, especially if you’re looking for a specific brand and you couldnt find it anywhere else. If you’re looking for cool labels like Eucalyptus, Famous Forever or Yumi you should check out Dealer-Shop. It offers really cool streetwear and also a large selection of menswear for all you male fashion addicts ; ) The best is, shipping in Germany is free! So go ahead and start dealing with fashion!
