My favorite color for this summer is white, especially when it’s paired with a pale fluorescent yellow, it just doesn’t get much fresher than that. Since I don’t own a suit (yet! I want one so bad!) I just like combining all my blazers with matching pants or in this case shorts. Men’s wear is always a great inspiration especially when there’s a feminine twist, in this case super short cut-offs.
Blazer from H&M, top from Weekday, shorts from Monki and second hand belt.
So happy about finding this ring trio from Asos, I usually tend to under-accessorize because I like it simple and these rings look simple yet really cool especially I find when in an ensemble with a matching simple choker (H&M). The top I’m wearing is from Asos by the way.
This picture from Planet Blue‘s lookbook inspired me to compile a list of my favorite tropical summer clothes. It takes a good sense of humor and courage to wear Hawaiian prints, one of the must ridiculed prints of all times, which makes it fun. Also, what screams summer any louder than palm trees and the color of the ocean?

Finally, it’s shorts time! These white cut offs are from Monki, paired with a belt that used to be my mom’s and an earthy colored T from Weekday.
A very exciting new collaboration was announced: Adidas and Opening Ceremony are launching a sportswear inspired collection as a tribute to the Olympics in London. I love the playful take on the cyclist outfit, the bathing suits with the bandana prints and that cute peplum top. The collection will be available in selected online shops in July.

Today I’m wearing my Replay Laserblast jeans, Asos suede shoes, the silk top was a gift so no idea where that’s from, I Don’t Like Mondays leather jacket and the lovely nail polish I showed you in my previous post from Agnes B.
For me COS is one of the best high street shops out there, they really offer a great quality and variety of materials with simplistic yet unusual cuts. It is just not my favorite shop because I frankly can’t seem to afford much there. But thankfully sales have hit the Collection Of Style stores. Here is a list of my favorite on-sale items (more sale here).
I’ll be so happy if I can get a hold of the silk T-shirt or the white leather top and I’ve had my eyes on these boots since January (on sale they are 130€, still a little too steep for me..).
In my list of current fashion favorites you can find a purse by Reed Krakoff who just recently won the CFDA award for best accessories, which he deserved.
I absolutely love the knot detail of the skirt, as seen in the new Theysken’s Theory resort collection.
As you can see I’m still very much into the whole idea of sporty chic as well as a sophisticated and fresh color palette.
The guys at Proenza Schouler have delivered yet again. The resort ’13 collection is beautiful. A modest color scheme allows one to focus on the patterns and structures featured in these very pure pieces. The looks are super casual consisting of simplistic basics and no nonsense accessories and evoke this air of effortless chic that reminds me a lot of Columbine Smille – I can totally see her wearing the first look. I love everything about this look, from the shape and fabric of the coat to the gorgeous denim.
My favorites pieces from the collection are the white denim vest, the boxy coat and I find the heels to be very sexy. All in all a very wearable collection with versatile and timeless pieces.

In a little over a week, I will be back in Essen for a job at this year’s Modatex, a bridal fashion fair filled with some incredibly corny dresses. I did the same thing last year and after work I went to the local shopping mall which turned out to be surprisingly good. For some reason I don’t understand Monki decided to open their stores in only very few cities in Germany and one of them happens to be Essen. Anyway, so in anticipation of returning, I have made a list of my favorite Monki pieces. They have such great basics, which is what my wardrobe lacks the most, so I have to take advantage of my stay in Essen.
I am so into that simple oversized blazer and the platform sneakers..
