Marble and Copper

Marble and Copper




I have been loving all things marble and copper lately. I blame H&M! They had so many beautiful things like marble trays, containers, boxes, tablecloths, baskets… I bought half of the collection!

Generally the marble pattern just makes everything look more luxurious and clean. If you want to beautify your home with marble you don’t have to fork out a fortune for the real deal, there are plenty of easy and inexpensive DIY’s out there to make it at home! One of the best investments for me was marble contact foil – its like a sticker that you can stick to any surface and it instantly looks great!
Same with copper. As it has been quite the decor trend lately, a lot of companies are making overpriced copper articles but with a bit of spray paint you can easily transform an old piece into a trend article! Also, look for copper parts in your local DIY store, pipes etc make great DIY projects!

Check out this lovely collection of copper DIYs at The Crafted Sparrow!

SALE picks from the high street under £75

Sale picks H&M

 

With the new year comes the sales! From Designer to High Street – everyone is discounting the last season and tempting us with spring colours and chiffon dresses. Be smart and shop the pieces that were a little out of your price range or just haven’t made it into your closet yet – cause you still have a couple of months to wear it until the weather will let you throw on your chiffon dresses!

Here are my favorites from the high street’s big retailers! Which ones are your favorites? Links below the pictures!

H&M: My H&M picks are all quite classic shapes with a little twist. I love H&M for timeless shapes that you can wear in different seasons and different occasions. The palette is pretty much in soft, simple shades of black, blue, grey and beige.

Topshop Sale
 
 
Topshop: Topshop is the place to go for more quirky, on-trend designs and patterns. I picked a wild mix of things that caught my eye; I sometimes find their online offering a bit overwhelming… these are some things that I would like to take home. As Topshop is a little on the pricier side in terms of high street they do have some great bargains during the sale and I especially love their wide choice of whimsy heels that are usually more than 50% off… (check out those burgundy leather booties and the embellished coat, both down to €36 from €120!)

 

New Look sale
 

NEW LOOK: New Look has a really impressive sale going on right now, I had a really hard time choosing the items as I loved so many things on the website! They have a great selection of dresses, tops and skirts and I loved the bags and rings I saw. They discounted heavily and since New Look is quite affordable already most of these lovely items are a total bargain! Check out the T-Shirt for less then a tenner and the cute backpack for under £15!

And yes, I want all of it.

love or hate?

 1111 22222

Discovered these babies on the H&M website, they are made of 100% leather with contrasting colour imitation patent leather sections at the front and a platform. The platform front is about 3.5 cm high, the heel about 4.5 cm.

Not sure if I love or hate them but they have been haunting my mind ever since I saw them…

What do you think? Love or Hate?

Ich kann mich gerade nicht entscheiden ob ich sie liebe oder hasse aber seit dem ich sie gesehen hab gehen sie mir nicht mehr aus dem Kopf.

Was meint ihr? Love or Hate?

still looking for the perfect winter coat?

Still out and about in your trusty denim vest or battered leather jacket? Agreed, you do look good but winter is almost here and it might be time to get yourself wrapped up in one of this seasons trend coats. Here are a few suggestions:

5

1) River Island        2) Topshop        3)Topshop        4) Miss Selfridge

Topping this year’s hot list are definately nice long coats with fake fur lapels. The mix of wool coat and fur lapel will keep you stylish AND warm this winter. Go for earthy tones to match pretty much all your outfits and to keep it classic. If you’re on a budget, try throwing a fake fur stole over one of your old winter coats to give it a new look or check out your local charity shops for vintage pieces.

21) Topshop       2)New Look       3) Topshop       4) New Look

Bordeaux and Burgundy; Berry Colours are all over the high street at the moment. Add a dash of colour to your wardrobe with these wonderful numbers. Plus you won’t have to worry too much about spilling your mulled wine. ;)

  3

1) New Look       2) Miss Selfridge       3) River Island       4) Dorothy Perkins

Animal print fur coats are still big this season, so if you still have your trusty leopard print coat from last year, don’t be afraid to wear it! These kind of coats are not for shy peeps as they pretty much scream “Look at me!”. But don’t let the print put you off, they are actually very versatile and wearable. This years on-trend addition to the family are dalmation spots – if you don’t want to go full force try adding dalmation accessories to your look for an instant wardrobe update.

1) Topshop       2) New Look       3) Miss Selfridge       4) River Island

The Parka is definately a wardrobe staple and every girl should have one. Parkas are versatile and stylish and always on trend. Ideal to make the transition from autumn to winter, these weather resistant beauties will keep you warm and dry in wind and snow. Charactaristic for a proper Parka is a nice fur-lined hood and big front pockets to burry your hands in. Traditionally Parkas were used by the military which is why they are usually green but if you wan’t to go for a more sophisticated look, there is plenty of other colours to choose from!

1) Topshop       2) Miss Selfridge       3) Miss Selfridge       4) Dorothy Perkins

Don’t be afraid to invest in a nice duffle coats because they are, like Parkas, always on trend. These classic coats are usually made from a thick wollen material and closed with a number of toggle-fastenings at the front. This year’s duffle coats come in all kinds of shades and with a hood or without but mostly with a bit of fake fur. A duffle gives every outfit an instant twist because of the detailing on the front in combination with the classic cut.

1    1) Miss Selfridge       2) Dorothy Perkins       3) Miss Selfridge       4) Topshop

Speaking of classic cuts, with these coats you simply can’t go wrong. The classic coat shape single- or double-breasted will be with you for all times and through all trends. Keep it simple and classic and invest in a one-coloured coat either in black or brown to go with everything. Or try one of this season’s trends and go for contrast – either contrasting sleeves or, a bit mor subtile, a contrasting lapel. Again you can update these by throwing on a fur stole and transforming it into an on-trend piece.

spot on!

bvm

I cannot put in words how OBSESSED I am with polka dots of any kind at the moment. I am constantly raiding all charity shops within my area as well as continousily browsing ebay and any online shop I know on the lookout for this beloved print of mine. I have to admit that I accumulated quite a few spotty pieces already (most of them lucky charity shop finds), but I think the High Street is slowly catching up. I’ve seen a few nice ones in Topshop and in the H&M A/W catalogue so far. I am especially looking for a polka dot shirt with long sleeves, a slight oversized fit and preferably sheer but not too seethrough.

Le Sigh…

Im Moment bin ich im Polka Dot Fieber. Ich suche ständig nach neuen Teilen mit meinem momentanen Lieblingsprint, ich kann einfach nicht genug davon haben! Die meisten schicken Teile habe ich in Charity Shops zusammengesammelt aber ich glaube die großen Geschäfte kommen langsam auch auf den Geschmack. Bisher habe ich einige schöne Sachen bei Topshop und im H&M A/W Katalog entdeckt. Ich suche vor allem nach einer schwarzen Bluse mit weißen Punkten, leicht oversized und etwas durchsichtig aber nicht zu arg.

Ach ja…

pussy bow


2011 is going to be a year of pussy bows for me... I fear I am slowly growing up after all! Maybe it's the inner me that wants to prepare me for business life... ether way, I fell in love with this and ordered the one above straight away from asos. The shop offers quite a lot of beautiful models:


2011 wird ein Schluppenblusen Jahr für mich. Ich befürchte ich werde schließlich doch noch erwachsen! Villeicht will mein Gewissen mich auch nur aufs Berufsleben vorbereiten, in jedem Fall gefällt es mir sehr. Das obrige Modell hab ich direkt bestellen müssen, asos hat mich mal wieder verführt. Hier ein paar weitere Modelle aus dem Online Shop:



I realize my style has quite changed in the last few years; I overcame the ninetees, rock and gothic and though I still enjoy some of my old music, my closet changed dramatically from all black pastels and colours. However, I see new things everyday that I like and want to try out - I think it will take years until I finally settle down with a certain style. But change is good so I guess that's how it's ment to be!


EVOLVE!

Mir wird mehr und mehr sich mein Stil in den letzten Jahren verändert hat; ich habe die Neunziger, Rock und Gothic überwunden und obwohl ich vieles der Musik von damals noch immer gerne höre, hat sich mein Kleiderschrank dramatisch verändert.Von Schwarz als Einheitsfarbe aller meiner Stücke zu Pastelltönen und Farben war es ein langer Weg und noch immer sehe ich täglich Dinge die mich inspirieren und die ich noch ausprobieren möchte. Es wird warscheinlich noch Jahre dauern bis ich meinen eigenen, signifikanten Stil entwickelt habe und dabei bleibe... aber Veränderund ist schließlich gut und so soll es ja sein! Also:


ENTWICKLE DICH WEITER!

I love the pictures (and the collection). How amazing does Elizabeth Jagger look? I WANT her hair. So now I just need the next Festival. Would have loved to go to Glastonbury but they are sold out. I might go to Sonisphere Festival, my friends could’t get over how awesome it was last year.

But nevertheless; the collection is an FAA collection! Never forget that! Hopefully people are aware of the fact that the number of new HIV infections in europe is actually steadily rising. Some think that it’s a problem in Africa but not here. They are so wrong! Some think it’s only affecting homosexuals. They are so wrong! Think twice! Use condoms!

DIY miu miu collar

Since I saw that DIY on one of my favorite blogs (click). I couldn’t stop thinking that this is probably the easiest DIY ever. And it is. And very convenient since the original is like 200€.

I took an old white shirt from my dad (got to be a men’s shirt, they have the bigger collar) and cut off the collar along the seam.

Bought a textile pen in light blue and painted the collar with swallows. I simply drew them directly onto the fabric, if you are not good with drawing free hand, use some swallow pics from the internet, print them out and make yourself a stencil.

Got my template from the real deal: the miu miu collar deni from CHICMUSE wore in one of her posts:

And here is the result:

I think I’m going to make another one with the black cats on a blue collar. How do you like it?
