Cut-Out Boots

Just a quick post to show you my lovely new cut-out boots from Sacha. They are perfect - edgy but not too chunky and they look cool with both dresses and skirts as well as with jeans or shorts. Today I wore them with a very casual denim skirt & striped top outfit.

5 Summer Looks - Designer vs. High Street

Summer still isn't quite here yet, but it's all I dream about. I want to ride my bike, go to pool parties and to the beach. So while it's raining outside, I just clicked through net-a-porter and created 5 designer looks for 5 different occasions I would love to wear this summer. But since I, and I'm sure most of you as well, can't afford head to toe designer looks, I looked for similar high-street pieces, which you can shop below!

I was quite surprised by how similar the high-street items I found were to the designer pieces I used in the collages. What do you think of this post? Would you like to see more of them? Or do you have any occasions you would like me to create collages for? Let me know x

Met Gala 2013 // My favourite Looks

First of all, I definitely wasn't the biggest fan of this year's Punk theme and I found a lot of the looks .. well,.. not nice at all. But that's what the Met is about, extreme dresses that celebrate the designer's talent and polarize. They are meant to cause a stir and provoke discussions. 

Nevertheless, I always prefer simplicity with a twist over crazy, eccentric looks as you all know. So here we go, these are my favourite looks from the 2013 Met Gala.

White 

Rooney Mara's Givenchy dress was definitely my favourite dress of the night, she looks absolutely stunning! You might know that I am a huge fan of Sienna Miller since I was 11 or so and I got so excited when I heard that she'd be attending the Met Gala since she hasn't really been a regular on the red carpets these past few years. And she did not disappoint me one bit, she looked perfect wearing a white Burberry dress paired with the heavy stud biker jacket and an amazing hairstyle.

Black 

Emma Roberts (in Diane von Fürstenberg) and Taylor Swift (in J.Mendel) both went for beautiful dresses which showed just enough skin and were topped off with beautiful embellishments.


Shiny Green / Gold

Rosie Huntington-Whitley and Uma Thurman's shiny green / gold, figure hugging dresses were real show-stoppers and simply beautiful. Both of them went for backcombed hair combined with dangling earrings. Rosie's dress was by Gucci and Uma wore and was accompanied by Zac Posen.


Pink / Red 

Kate Bosworth always looks flawless and this Balmain dress suits her so perfectly! I'm sure a lot of you will disagree with me on this one, but I'm a huge fan of Kristen and her style and I think this Stella McCartney lace jumpsuits looks amazing on her. Jumpsuits seem to be Kristen's favourite red carpet choice and if you ask me she always looks fabulous in them.


Less is more

Unlike most of the other guests of the Met Gala, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lawrence didn't choose extremely eccentric dresses, but went for simple but beautiful looks. Katie wore a gorgeous white Calvin Klein Collection gown with a long train and a beautiful neckline. You know how obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence I am and she looked as perfect as ever in Dior. I especially love the veil!
This brings me to the most beautiful picture of the night ♥ I was actually speechless when I saw this, it is so flawless.

Wrapped Up

The cuts of these two dresses are just breathtaking. I love the wrapped look, the thin belts around the waist, the mesh details and the slits. Stunning! Chloe Sevigny's dress is Proenza Schouler and Doutzen Kroes chose Theyskens' Theory.


Embellished

Emmy Rossum and Amber Heard are both gorgeous women and they'd probably look good in anything. But obviously they didn't just wear anything, but two lovely embellished, light dresses with deep necklines by Donna Karan and Emilio Pucci.


So, these are my 14 favourite looks from the 2013 Met Gala! Do you agree?

Daily Make Up // New Category?

I've never really been particularly interested in make up, which is why it was never a topic I wrote about on my blog. But since my sister and my friend Zoe are great at doing make up and talk about it a lot, my interest has grown lately. I'm far from being talented at it but it does interest me more and more.
So, I was wondering if you'd be interested in reading a bit more about make up on this blog? Not from me, since there wouldn't be a lot I could tell you, but from my sister and Zoe. Please tell me in the comments what you think!
To make this post not just about a simple question, I've just photographed a few of the products I use regularly. I'm very happy with them and I'd definitely recommend them to you, so I've linked a few products below.
Have a nice day! x
