Hat Season

Autumn is here you guys! What better way to celebrate the new season (which is on of my faves after summer), than gearing up with some new fedora hats. I love autumn because it's the time of the year when I can wear layers and most importantly fedora hats.
They are my absolute favorite accessory to rock on chilly days. I think they can really spice up an outfit no matter how casual you look or on the other hand make you look super cool even when wearing a dress or skirt. I've put a small selection of my current favorite options which I found at Esprit to shop below. What do you think about Fedora hats? How would you style them?

DE: Der Herbst ist definitiv in Berlin angekommen! Wie kann man ihn besser willkommen heißen als mit einigen Neuzugängen an coolen Hüten? Ich liebe den Herbst ja fast so sehr wie den Sommer. Im Herbst kann man einfach den Zwiebellook rocken und vor allem ganz viele Hüte tragen. Und ich liebe Hüte einfach! Ich finde sie können einem lässigen Outfit das gewisse Etwas geben, während sie einem schicken Look einen coolen Touch verleihen. Da ich schon wieder auf der Suche nach einem neuem Begleiter für diesen Herbst bin, habe ich euch einige Optionen verlinkt, die ich auf Esprit gefunden habe! Welcher soll es werden? Tragt ihr selbst gerne Fedora-Hüte?

How To Get Blog Traffic Through Instagram

The more followers I get on Instagram (we're now on 22K @minnieknows) the more emails and direct messages I receive on how I gained a lot of followers. Check my latest Tips on it here. But Recently I've been also getting emails on how to use other social media channels effectively and drive traffic from it. So here are three tips that seem to be working for me when it comes to yes, Instagram:

1. Use an appealing teaser in high resolution quality
The teaser image of a blogpost you want to promote is the very first image your followers will see on Instagram so make sure its a great one! Always use hi-res images taken with DSLR (at least that's what works best for). I recommend to always use hi-res on announcing a new blogpost coming online. Otherwise Instagram is a tool for showing your followers your personal style and a glimpse of your daily life. So keep it raw while proving top quality photographs. They will stimulate your followers curiosity and drive them to your blog.

2. Provide your blog URL in your bio
Since it's still not possible to include URLs in a caption, make sure to put your Blog's URL down in your bio. This way you can always change it to the latest article so your readers will be redirected straight to the current article on your blog. It's the only place on Instagram where an active hyperlink can put.Apart from only putting the URL in you bio it's equally important to make followers aware of the fact that it's actually there. So let them know in you photos caption. This way you'll use the link in the most effective ay possible.

3. Write catchy headlines
By catchy I mean witty, fun, personal and interesting. Your readers should want to get know the story behind a teaser image. Again stimulate their curiosity! Tell them a little bit about your story and show them where to find the rest of it, namely on your blog. This combined with a beautiful photo will work wonders.

I hope this will help you drive more traffic to you blog! Try it out an let me know if you see any changes. I'd be curious to hear how that works for you. Do you have other tips on how to get more blog traffic through Instagram? Let me know and happy Tuesday!

They Changed The World. Not The Shirt.

Since we both got to style the Diamond G Shirt for GANTs campaign 'They Changed The World. Not The Shirt' we thought it would be fun to shoot some photos together. You've already since our interpretations of the perfect white shirt for her here and for him here.

We thought it would be nice to use our collaboration with GANt to shoot some couple photos as well. We really look like we coordinated our outfits but it kind of just happened because we have a similar taste when it comes to smarter clothes. We both like to mix smart and casual unless its an official occasion of course. Otherwise I like pairing a fancy shirt with boyfriend jeans or cool skirt while Chris like styling a smart shirt with chinos or as short. How do you like the photos? And how would you style a perfect white shirt for Him or Her?

DE: Nachdem ihr nun gesehen habt wie ich das perfekte weiße Shirt stylen würde und wie Chris es kombinieren würde, gibt es heute einige Bilder von uns gemeinsam.Wir fanden es toll mal gemeinsam auf den Bildern zu sein und nutzten die Gelegenheit gleich mal, mit Caro einige Aufnahmen zu machen. Wir sehen ein bisschen nach Partnerlook aus, aber wir haben auch einen ähnlichen Geschmack wenn es um schickere Kleidung geht. Wie gefällt es euch? Würdet ihr ein weißes Hemd, ob für Sie oder Ihn, auch so stylen? Wir freuen uns auf  Feedback!
