Me and angora jumpers, soon my closet will need a separate angora section! The color red of this jumper is the most perfect bright red ever, it kind of needs a matching lipstick! and yes, I'm wearing the brocade trousers again, this time with my new Zara heels.

Favorite Knotted and Twisted Updo Tutorials

Photobucket
Images via pinterest

I often wear my hair in easy on-the-go buns (as I like to call them) and I always like to try new things to add just that little something of extra to an otherwise very ordinary thing. The knotted and Twisted bun and updo's give that bit of posh and glam to an otherwise easy hair-day and it's so easy to do with help of some bobby-pins! So alas, my favorite tutorials for when it comes to twisting and turning ;)

1) Twisted Side Bun

You will need to translate the blog to read the full tutorial, but it is so worth it! I just love how the bun is low on the side!

2) Low Twisted Bun

The low bun is just gorgeous and would make such a beautiful Winter look with snuggly jumpers!

3) Infinity Twist

This updo is not as difficult as it seems, I just adore the ethereal twisting!

4) Fishtail Bun

The twisted fishtail braid makes for such a great low bun and I love the volume!

Finally

Photobucket

Jumping a little bit late on the band wagon but better late then never. I bought these at the Zara the other day and perfection isn't even the right word. Shoe porn is! I was missing a classic pair of black heels and finally finally found the perfect pair! Still, its snowing so unless I want to break my neck i will have to wait wearing them.

OUTFIT: Stylestalker Panthers Lace Dress

Photobucket
photos taken by Alice Point

Little black dress revamped indeed! I love peplums so much and Stylestalker just did an amazing job on this one! Perfect fit and yes, Lace! I feel naked though haha, I'm not really used vamping it up. I need to learn how to be sexy damn it! Same shoes again because these photos were taken in London while I was living out of an empty suitcase (Empty because leaving space for shopping haha)

OUTFIT: Gold Brocade

Photobucket
photos taken by Fashion is a Party

It is and was so cold that there was simply no way I would wear these trousers without tights! I'm sure the look would have been a bit more refined without the tights and with my new Zara pointy pumps but.. too cold! Really to cold! I'm wearing a million layers under the jumper as well, there was just no way I would have been smiling without the tights! Even leggings wouldn't have done the trick. The worst thing about wearing tights under trousers is the static (and thus the pants "glueing" to the tights at the most horrible places) The H&M Trend angora jumper was on sale and the only size left was a size 10 hence the oversized-ness, even though the jumper was way to big I tried it on anyway and really liked it being oversized!

Wearing: H&M trend angora jumper, H&M Trend asymmetrical shirt, TopShop gold brocade trousers, tights, Zara heels

Thank you Suz for taking the photos :)

ELECTROMANCER ~ Miista SS13

Photobucket

I'm in love with Miista's Electromancer collection! I got to see some of the styles of the SS13 collection first hand in Miista's showroom in London and was simply blown away by the Holographic brogues, the beautiful pastel colored organic prints and monotone and dip dye booties! 
I took the bubblegum pink colored booties home with me right away and am still contemplating over the purple watercolored booties and the holographic brogues! The holographic brogues come in a few colors and the iridescent purple (1st image) is just stellar! The rose gold brogue is equally lush but the style has yet to come out in small sizes!

Company Shoot ~ Behind the scenes Diary

Photobucket
photos by me and Camille

Last Friday I was invited over at Snap Studios in London for a Company Magazine photoshoot. I had the honor of modelling some of the new ss2013 pieces together with fellow blond (and beautiful) bloggers Alice and Camille! I saw so many pieces that I can't wait for to come out in stores! (ahhh Reiss booties, anyone?) and learned some new make-up foundation tricks from the make-up stylists (M.A.C cosmetics it is) I can't reveal too much yet so I guess we have to wait for the April issue of Company Magazine to come out but for the meantime I made a little behind the scenes sneak peek diary :)
xoxo

Thank you Lexxi for the amazing opportunity and thank you Alice and Camille for the amazing day!
