Flowers

Trenchcoat & Slip Ons c/o Hallhuber/ Jumper & Leather Pants c/o Second Female/  Watch c/o Klaus Kobec/ H&M Hat/ Mango Shopper

Everyone who knows me, is aware of the fact that I am obsessed with flowers. White Tulips and pink Peonies are my absolute favorite, but let's be honest if I could have a garden with all the flowers in the world, I certainly would! Unfortunately that and life in a big city do not coincide well together...

Anyways, speaking of flowers, while shooting my latest outfit with Jules we stumbled upon a cute flower stand in our area. The lady behind the counter was kind enough to let us snap some photos with her pretty flowers in the background, as we just couldn't pass by without doing so.
I remember how not long ago, I used to spend hours on the Columbia Road Flower Market in London. Almost every Sunday, I would get up and head there and get a bunch or two (or more...always) of my favourite flowers, or just grab whatever caught my attention and inspired me. I kind of miss that here in Berlin. Even though there might be great markets, I hardly find the time to even go there. So what comes in handy for me (not only in terms of cloth shopping hehe) is ordering them online.
You will find amazing flowers HERE - the fresh(est) ones should always be bought on a Thursday.

Happy 'shopping'!

DE: Jeder der mich kennt weiß, wie verrückt ich nach Blumen bin. Zu meinen absoluten Lieblingen gehören weiße Tulpen und rosa Pfingstrosen. Am liebesten hätte ich einen riesigen Garten mit all meinen Lieblingsblumen, aber dieser Wunsch lässt sich mit meinem Leben in einer Großstadt wie Berlin nicht vereinbaren... Daher haben Jules und ich uns sehr gefreut, diesen süßen Blumenstand als Kulisse für mein aktuellestes OOTD-Shoot zu nutzen. 
Es ist nicht allzu lange her, da bin ich jeden Sonntag zum Columbia Road Flower Market in London gegangen. Dort verbrachte ich teilweise Stunden (zwischendurch wurde natürlich Kaffee getrunken und geluncht) damit, meine liebsten Blumen zu kaufen, neue zu entdecken und mich einfach von der Atmosphäre inspirieren zu lassen.
Ich vermisse das sehr, seit ich wieder in Berlin lebe. Auch wenn es hier sicher schöne Märkte gibt, finde ich, aufgrund meines tagfüllenden Jobs, leider gar keine Zeit dafür. 
Wie praktisch also, dass man nicht nur Kleidung, sondern auch Blumen online bestellen kann. Eine ideale Plattform um Blumen für euch selbst oder eure Liebsten zu bestellen, findet ihr HIER. Frische Blumen bekommt man üblicherweise donnerstags.
Viel Vergnügen beim 'shoppen'!

My SS14 Must Haves by Fashionchick!

 Fashionchick. As a girl, I am just the average shoe and heels addict as everyone else out there! I recently purchased some super comfy New Balance trainers but since Spring and Summer are fast approaching I am thinking, it's time for some new summer shoes! Being a huge fan of shoe creations by Fashionchick, I thought I would show you a few of my must have this Spring/Summer season.

I love love love, the mixture of colour and pattern in the first pair of heels (above) they are just the perfect pop of brightness and quirkiness for summer but can easily be dressed down as well.  Do I even have to say anything about the bohemian sandals? Every girls needs a pair. They look so super comfy yet are not boring, but will definitely spice up every outfit. The perfection combination of style and comfort I say! The same style but with a heel? Ermm HECK YES :D If you should get bored by walking in flats all day or simply want to transition into an evening look, the heeled version is the one for you! I can see myself wearing those with a cute midi dress maybe pair it with a leather jacket for the evening an you're good to go.

 

I surely love them all and can't decide which to get first, maybe all? *cough* *cough*

 

Get your pair HERE lovelies and happy Thursday!

Secrets to French Style: La Redoute

When it comes to Fashion and style, none do it better than the French women! French women have captivated the fashion scene for decades. Names like Birkin, Bardot, Deneuve and Huppert are only a few fashion icons worth mentioning here. And let us not forget about the Queen of French style Coco Chanel, who redesigned the modern woman! Indeed, when she said:
 'Fashion fades, only style remains the same', she surely was not mistaken. 

This month, I have teamed up with La Redoute to show you my style tips and how I enforce the French style. It's is my absolute favorite of them all, hence the plans of living in Paris in the future! French women always seem to look effortlessly chic while remaining timeless. So, here is my take on the French style. But instead of just giving you 1 style tip, I thought I would show you 4 tips to achieve the French style. I hope you can feel inspired to channel your inner Parisian ego by my 4 key looks. 

Do you want to look as chic as the French women? Then make sure to further check out La Redoute's beautiful page Secrets to French Style! You can not only get more ideas on how to achieve this look but immediately shop the style too on there. It surely does take a little planning to recreate the chic and elegant French style. 

Look 1: The Breton Stripes

No one can look or feel more French, than when wearing Breton stripes. They are the epitome of the French style and were made popular by the Queen herself, Coco Chanel! The Breton stripe shirt is the perfect low-key piece but can most definitely be dressed up too. I mixed mine with a bold pink flared skirt and patent lather heels for a date night (or day) look! Pair it with a denim and flats and your good to go for a casual yet chic look.

Look 2: The white shirt

A crisp white shirt is indeed  a classic! It's a staple piece in every girl's wardrobe and if you don't have one yet, NOW is the time to purchase one! A white shirt is so versatile, it can be paired with literally everything and will complement any outfit no matter the occasion. I styled my white shirt with a ripped denim to create that 'rock chic' style while following the French style rules! Add a pop of color if you feel like it by choosing the right accessories and you're good to go!

Look 3: The trench & Fedora

Do I even have to tell you about owning a trench? It's a MUST! French women wear them over dresses, knitwear and denim combos, at day and at night. Hats and trenches are a match made in heaven. It's just that masculine touch given by adding a hat, which French women are also famous for. I am such a fan of a well fitted beige trench coat, that look as if you've had them tailored! Trench coats simply make you look and feel so French and chic as soon as you put them on. They dress up every outfit even if you are having a more laid-back, casual day! Plus they are the perfect transition jacket when Spring arrives. With a Trench you will instantly look sophisticated, and as a matter of fact, as if you have made the effort while being effortless - get what I mean? 

Look 4: Ballerina Pumps

Ballerina pumps are timeless and come in the most diverse styles! If you want to change from wearing heels all the time and give your feet a break, ballerina pumps are the most chic solution. Louboutin, Saint-Laurent and Charlotte Olympia show how it's done. Wear your ballerina pumps with some knitwear and a hat for the perfect very French laid-back look. Oh, and don't forget about a classic coat for those chilly days.

I hope you liked these 4 key looks of the ever so chic French style - and are inspired yet ready to channel your inner Parisian! Which of the above is your favourite outfit? 

Au plaisir!

Weekly Musings! Aida

Aida. Just in time for the weekend, a little inspiration by means of this week's muse Aida of Dulceida. Another Spanish blogger babe with impeccable style. I especially love her use of accessories, particulary her love for hats! If you know me, you're aware of my obsession for beanies and fedoras. I'm currently looking for cool new ones for the upcoming London Fashion Week. To me they are just the icing on the cake when putting an outfit together.

You'll see lots of them more on the blog soon (London tends to be super windy so wearing them always leads to them getting blown away - not fun!). I had a couple of meetings this week and more to come next month. I'm also travelling to Berlin again next month. So many exciting projects for Minnie Knows this year. Can't wait to tell you all about them soon.

Happy weekend lovelies!
