be beautiful!

Hi guys!

Today there is this a nice little feature of me over at the Vedette Shapewear blog "Beauty Behind The Curves", check it out if you like.

They have asked me and other lovely fellow bloggers to contribute a picture with a slogan for their Love Your Body project and this is what I came up with, telling every girl to be confident about their curves while wearing my Contessa bodysuit. Hope you like it?

You should check out the other blogger's contributions too, their so amazing and motivating! You can find them all HERE, just click the title to see the photo.

Have a fab day everyone! :)

P.S. Sorry for the mini-hiatus round here, I will be back to normal blogging in the course of the next days! ;)

Vedette Shapewear day to night look

Hi guys!

How are you? I hope everyone had a good start into the week?!

It's a national holiday here in Germany, so I used my free morning to finally edit the photos for this post, that I had shooted in the last days.

You might remember that I have cooperated with Vedette Shapewear in the past, I styled one of their shaping items for a Christmas look here.

They were so kind to offer me another piece of choice from their amazing range of products and asked me to style a "day to night" look with it. I was so happy! I was already very happy with my first item, so it was even better to get another one. I browsed the website for so long... and finally I decided to go for a classic basic: a black waist- and hips-shaping body suit with bra top - the "AIMÈE" body suit.

I lost some pounds recently, so I was able to take a size L and it fortunately fits like a glove and shapes my love handles just so that I look nicely slim around the waist.

Day look

This is how I styled the body suit for a stroll through the forest. I normally try to avoid having my belly area peeking out under shirts, but with the body suit it was the perfect way of layering my light cropped sweater. The whole thing got casual with the shorts and flats, but as the sweater is a little see-through, the silhouette of the body underneith added a bit of, let's say, "low key sexiness". ;) 

♥ body suit: vedette ♥ sweater: forever 21 ♥ shorts: pimkie ♥ belt + flats: primark ♥ necklace: ebay ♥ tote bag: kleiderkreisel ♥

It felt a bit like wearing a bathing suit without going swimming ;)

But despite the stronger fabric in the shaping area around the waist, it still was comfortable to wear and didn't make me sweat too much under the anyway breezy sweater.

Night look

After concealing the inviting cleavage for the day look, I thought it would be okay to show it as it is in the night look. I chose to combine a skirt and belt with the body suit to make it look like a cocktail dress and also added a see-through lace jacket to keep me look dressed (and to conceal my chubby upper arms, ha!).

 ♥ body suit: vedette  ♥  jacket: forever 21  ♥  belt: topshop  ♥  skirt: camaieu  ♥ necklace: accessorize  ♥  wedges: seven seconds  ♥

I think the cleavage really is a bit daring and I actually planned to wear a black lace shirt underneath, but I couldn't find one, so it had to work without. However I would probably try to find one if I planned to wear this outfit for a girl's night out or something because otherwise I would seriously be afraid of a second Nipplegate all night!

Apart from that, again the whole outfit was very comfortable to wear and I didn't have the feeling of looking like a dolled-up whale because my waist was shaped nicely and made a very nice silhouette together with the a-line skirt.

Oh and by the way, to see more pictures of the "AIMÉE" body suit and to get details about it, you can click here.

So, what do you say? Do you guys like this day to night transformation? Would you wear shapewear? And if yes, would you wear it as outer wear? Any other suggestions or opinions about it? Talk to me! :)

Happy Monday!

we've got nothing to hide

Hi guys!
Sunny greetings from Budapest!
I'm sorry it got a bit quiet around the blog lately, I'm always so exhausted in the evening and if I'm not chilling out at my apartment, then my co-workers keep me entertained by taking me to different places. But I promise I take a lot of photos so I can catch up with posting when I'm back at home at the end of the week.

Anyways, good news: I'm in the media! Remember this Vedette Shapewear look I styled? Well, among some other awesome bloggers I am part of the Vedette "I've got nothing to hide" Campaign in the recent spring/summer issue of FASHIONSIGN March 2012!
Thanks to Vedette for putting me there! :)

Have a lovely day!

CLOSED - Vedette Shapewear giveaway

Hi guys!

Today is finally the day to solve the secrets! Firstly I have mentioned before that there will be a really cool giveaway in cooperation with an amazing brand and secondly I sometimes hinted on me shooting a video... Well, here is the revealing:

Vedette Shapewear was so kind to send me one piece of their beautiful shapewear collection, the Contessa bodysuit, to make a video. The challenge was to wear the shapewear in a daily outfit and also to give the viewer an idea of my "profession".
I'm a little excited, this is the first time ever that I'm visible in a video on the internet, woohoo ;)
Hope you like what I did:

polyvore premiere + vedette feature

Hi guys!

I'm just dropping in to show my first Polyvore set ever. I still haven't figured out all the details of this fun website, but I will practice and probably spend some mornings creating sets there. Still in my pyjamas, browsing Polyvore while drinking my coffee - I think this will be a great inspiration for new outfits. I can't wait for the semester break to begin next week, weeee :)

My set was featured over at the Vedette Shapewear Blog, so if you like, feel free to take a look.

I hope I can string you along with this little post until I have time to take outfit pics again. All the uni stress will be over by Thursday and I can already tell you that there's be a really cool giveaway coming up here... So don't forget to stop by my blog again at the end of the week!

Have a good day!
