time for pretty dresses

- Für Deutsch bitte runterscrollen! -

 [EN] Hey all!

It is officially winter here in Australia now, but the rest of the world is anticipating or even already having warm summer days. Aaand summer time is time for pretty dresses, right?

It is the season for glamourous garden parties, ball nights and weddings. And all these events scream for what? Pink Prom Dresses! Why pink? Because it is a fun colour, perfect on summer skin and makes every dress look even more feminine.

Let me be honest with you: I have avoided pink clothes for a long time in my life! I always felt like this colour was too girly for the tomboy I used to be back then. I thought it would make me look ridiculous and as if someone was putting lipstick on the pig.

Last year, however, I bought a lovely pink dress for the very first time and was smitten with it from the moment it arrived in the mail. I figured out that it really does not depend on the colour but on my own attitude when wearing it! I also came to the conclusion that pink can look pretty cool on me especially because I am not a girly girl. So you see, basically I'm just telling you to give pink a chance in your wardrobe if you don't do it already. Believe me, giving it a go might change your mind about it.
Back to this post's actual topic though. I have picked some pink favourites from the lovely online shop PickeDresses to give you some inspiration about what to wear for your next summer events that require a glamour look.
Hope you like my picks!

[DE] Hallo meine Lieben!

Es ist jetzt offiziell Winter hier in Australien, aber der Rest der Welt freut sich wie blöd auf den Sommer oder hat sogar schon tiptop Sommerwetter. Und Sommerzeit ist die Zeit für schöne Kleider, richtig?
Glamuröse Gartenparties, Ballnächte, Hochzeiten stehen an. Und nach was schreien all diese Feierlichkeiten? Nach pinken Kleidchen! Warum ausgerechnet Pink? Weil es gute Laune macht, toll auf gebräunter Sommerhaut aussieht und jedes Kleid gleich noch viel femininer wirken lässt.
Ich will ehrlich sein mit euch: Ich habe pinke Sachen eine lange Zeit gehasst. Hat sich immer falsch angefühlt für mich weil ich damals so ein jungenhaftes Mädchen war. Ich dachte immer das passt einfach gar nicht zu mir.
Letztes Jahr habe ich dann aber doch zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben ein pinkes Kleid gekauft und war direkt ganz vernarrt. Ich habe dann festgestellt, dass es nicht auf die Farbe an mir ankommt, sondern auf die Einstellung mit der ich sie trage. Ich bin sogar zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass Pink ziemlich cool an mir aussieht eben gerade weil ich nicht so ein "girly girl" bin.
Also eigentlich will ich damit nur sagen gebt Pink eine Chance falls ihr das nicht eh schon tut. Es mal zu versuchen könnte eure Meinung ändern.
So, nun aber zurück zum Thema: Ich habe euch mal meine pinken Favoriten des Onlineshops PickeDresses zusammengestellt um euch für zukünftige schicke Events zu inspirieren.
Ich hoffe es gefällt euch!

Have a lovely day! - Habt einen schönen Tag!

bridesmaid dresses

Hello loves!

As I got invited to two weddings, this year May turns out to be the wedding month.

Some of you might know I am not exactly a girl for princess dresses and high heels in daily life, however I enjoy getting all dolled up from time to time. I have been thinking about what to wear to these two aforementioned weddings and found a website called Millybridal with some of the loveliest 2014 wedding dresses UK. I browsed through their pictures and found quite a bit of inspiration for what to wear.

I will not be a bridesmaid, but I still couldn't help browsing through their pictures to get inspired. These are some of my favourites:

As you can see I am especially a fan of blue and green because these two compliment my hair colour and complexion best. Furthermore I prefer knee-length dresses (paired with high heels) for my rather short legs. I would love to wear a long dress but it would just make me look even shorter, so knee-length is more flattering. 

As for the rest of the wedding outfit I like to keep it simple: I have the choice between black or nude heels, these are the only two pairs of high heels I own. Furthermore I would have to add a matching cardigan, crop blazer or capelet because our German weather here is not springy at all at the moment.

Jewelry-wise I would always go for delicate elegant simple gold necklacs and/or bracelets.

Like I said, I won't be a bridesmaid and my outfit choicee has not been made yet, but I will let you know about the results soon, you will be able to see them in outfit posts about the two weddings.

Have a lovely day everyone!
