My post today is an evening post as I am in a wonderful place with great surroundings, dressed in my favourite colors black and white – black as the coming evening and white as the bright thoughts coming with the pre-holiday mood. In addition black accessories like black over-knee boots can be a perfect match.
My post today is from a place which in winter seems like a fairytale but it has its beauty also in autumn and although I am used to see these places and ski slopes being covered in white, in green they are majestic, too.
Being a big ski fan I would be wearing my skiing outfits in winter when in the mountains, but this time I decided to show you a style I‘ve been obsessed with which matches well with the surroundings – the teddy bear style.
The teddy bear coat trend is all around this fall-winter season and when I saw one for the first time I thought I would look like a giant bear with it, but the soft feeling made me change my mind. That’s why i think no matter how many coats you have in your wardrobe – a teddy bear one would make a perfect complement. Worn as casual wear, it can also easily become an addition to an evening look. It can easily be combined with leather pants, denim or even with a luxe dress and over the knee boots.
So, there is nothing i love more in the cold weather than what makes me feel cosy and warm – and this incredible soft piece has it all.
Good morning from a magical place in Tröpalach near Hermagor, Carinthia in the south of Austria, just off the border with Italy – the Falkensteiner hotel & spa Carinzia. To have a breakfast here with the astounding alpine peaks, (still) green ski slopes and meanwhile warm pools in the background cannot be described with words.
Expect one more post with a gallery of pictures we will take in this magestic area.
Well, let me ask you this – what do you think when you think of a red cape? For most of us, we relate it either to power, strength, freedom, even flying like a hero (think Superman) or with tender feelings and love like the Little Red Riding Hood for example. For me the red cape is everything mentioned above and I sling it across my shoulders with pride because there is nothing bolder in autumn weather than a red cape. It changes my entire demeanor and outlook and I wear it with love. Yes, definitely with love – and I do not mention that just as the next strong word – one has to feel it that way – be it regarding the fashion, one’s clothes, everyday life or toward a person, as love is the answer to everything. Feeling the love you can fly no matter if it is with a “magic” red cape or without one.
Swinging this great color around my body always makes heads turn. Red goes with nearly everything and I like it a lot – especially with jeans. But because I’m still not in the winter mood here I wear it with short jeans and one of my favorite high heels, of course in a fashionway.

I have been on the road a lot in the last weeks and I did not realise how fast the autumn has came with all it’s colors and beauty. In contrast with the bright summer colors, here I have switched to some neutral ones – nude and black to match the surrounding natural palette, full with different nuances. This dress is great for the new seasons’s start – long sleeves, but short and generously cut at the top and the elbows. The temperatures are still not cold enough to prevent us from enjoying the weather outside.

Is there anything more stylish than a dress that’s all black and white? Some might say you need color to be exciting but the contrast between these two colors is sure to thrill enough. Autumn comes with so many colors, that simple black and white fits perfect with the surrounding.
Together, black and white represent the minimum of the color palette, but they can also take the maximum out of an outfit, being eye-catching and sharpening the style.
The bright white color with the black flower patterns on my dress, blend in with the autumn yellow leaves backdrop beautifully, in a fashionway :).

Autumn is just around the corner but I’ve always dreamed of an endless summer. That’s why I would like to hold on to summer a bit longer in my blog with this post.
I love the fall and it’s colors but I’m not quite ready to put on my boots and coat and think about the cold days. That’s why I also wore with pleasure on the Vienna Fashion Week my favorite summer floral dress, imagining in my mind the sea and feeling the summer breeze.
The floral style, which was so trendy this summer, is still very much in also for the autumn dresses and many stores begin to stock their fall wears also with floral patterns. So, do not forget the summer feeling and keep wearing colorful clothes with flowers also in the fall season, of course always in a Fashionway!
EDIT 08.10.2018: Because of some misunderstandings that were pointed out to me recently, I want to make clear that i AM NOT the designer of the A-LINE collection – i only helped with the organisation.
It was an awesome experience to participate in the making of the first collection of A-LINE (http://www.a-line.at/), to present it on the Vienna Fashion week 2018 and to be both part of the backstage and to catwalk myself as a model.
A-LINE is a luxury brand that was presented on the Vienna Fashion Week with its Art Luxury- Line Collection „CORONA ARTISTICA“. The focus is on the woman of today, that can be anything, as long as it’s not boring. A ready-to-wear collection for the modern lady who wants to feel like Alice in wonderland, because a woman can be a dreamer while remaining practical. The outfits are inspired by artists like Klimt, Hundertwasser, Gaudí, as well as mother nature herself in all her colors, lines and forms. The result is feminine, fairytale, multifunctional unique pieces full of passion and momentum. (quote from http://www.a-line.at/, translated into English)
EDIT 08.10.2018: Because of some misunderstandings that were pointed out to me recently, I want to make clear that i AM NOT the designer of the A-LINE collection – i only helped with the organisation.
In the recent days I had the pleasure to attend the next annual edition of the Vienna Fashion week. 72 designers presented their most recent collections through 62 shows.
As it is a round anniversary for the event – the grand opening show included the best local designers that were on the Austrian stage in the last 10 years.
Attending the Fashion week has always been exciting for me through the years, but this time it was really special, as with my partner (at the time) Velina Ileva and the fantastic designer Darina Yanakieva we actually participated with a collection and a brand – A-LINE (http://www.a-line.at/). Being backstage, organising the models, outfits and the make-up, as well as actually taking two of the outfits through the catwalk myself, was very exciting. Being the first time for the whole team, the show went very well and we got some great feedback.
Of course I also attended other shows, like for example the one of Anelia Peshev, CHIC by Vali Cioban, TRUEYOU, IN OR NEAR and many others.
All in all it was a great and exciting week.
Each year I cant wait for the summer to come, but as fast as it comes, that fast it also goes away. Although the autumn is at our doorsteps, I want to keep for longer the summer rays, the breeze and the sounds of the sea. As the summer starts to end, I have found myself starting to miss it already and it is not even over, because it brings light, carefree thoughts and life is less strenuous.
But each season has its upsides – September is the start of school and work, but that also comes with new opportunities for success and new beginnings.
