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!

Hi loves!

How are you? Hope everything's fine and you're enjoying the first days of real autumn right now.

Well I totally do! It's not hot but still warm enough to wear dresses with sheer tights. Awesome much?!

For example the outfit in the photos which I put together around my lovely new bag!

I teamed up with a really cool online shop called Surfdome.com and was totally thrilled about it because they offer all the stuff I love, namely a huge variety of surfer, snowboarder and skater clothing and accessories. Even if I was never really good at skateboarding and never had the chance to try snowboardnig or surfing, these are still my roots, this is where I come from, who I hung out with and what I feel good in.

Surfdome was so kind to send me an item of choice and I just had to go for this great weekender bag! Among others they offer a range of awesome Mi-Pac bags and backpacks in lots of different cool styles. My very favourite was this star-printed one.

I'll be travelling a lot in October, so this bag will be the perfect companion for hand luggage and it'll totally pop between all the boring grey and black ones at the airport.

As for reviewing the Mi-Pac Duffel Stars Bag I don't have anything to complain about. It is really spacious, has the perfect size for hand luggage, as a gym bag or for weekend trips, is made of robust polyester, jazzed up with the star print and lovely faux suede accents and comes with two handles and a padded shoulder pad.

Also the print doesn't come off when you scratch along a wall or such (because, clumsy as I am, I already managed to try this out by accident).

I'm completely happy with my new star-printed buddy and I'm sure it will be great for my upcoming trips!

Many many thanks to Surfdome and their friendly staff for this courtesy! I can definitely recommend their online shop to you (just so you know, they are UK-based but offer international shipping).

You can also support them and take a closer look at their Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest or Youtube!

Have a good Monday everyone!

Hello loves!

How are you? I hope you're having a good week?

Mine has been uneventful so far, apart from some good news: I have teamed up with PersunMall.com, a lovely online shop for everything a girl's heart could desire clothing-wise. Their range consists of many beautiful dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories (you might remember my autumn/winter wish list?). Playful and cute print dresses, effortlessly cool oversized jumpers, sexy crop tops - you can find it all there for reasonable prices. They even order free international shipping, how good is that?!

PersunMall were so kind to send me this adorable little dog print blouse and I really couldn't wait for it to arrive. It's the Vintage Style Dog See-Through Shirt and as you can see it's the cutest piece ever!

When I first took it out of the bag I must admit it seemed a bit short. Online I had seen that it comes in a high-low style, which is awesome, but the front is really short and I wanted to save the world from seeing me in a belly top, so I went for the more elegant version and wore a high-waisted skirt with it.

As for the quality, it is made of breezy very light polyester, very comfortable and not itchy on the skin. Furthermore the fabric does not wrinkle, so I can decide wether I want to wear the shirt tucked in or not without any sign of wrinkles.

But what I like most about it are - of course - the cute dog print and the little golden collar tips.

How do you like this lovely little ensemble that makes cats and dogs collide? :)

A big *Thank you!* to PersunMall for sponsoring me this pretty blouse.

By the way if you would like to support them you can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Blogger or Youtube.

Happy Thursday!
