Shades of grey

Although it’s already May, the weather shows its grey side. That’s why my outfit today is based on the shades of grey – grey socks, grey jacket , grey ⭐ star . But my mood still has colour, because despite of the bad weather that comes and goes so easily, the summer is just around the corner. And – days like these make me work hard – write, read and plan, of course with the focus always on fashion.

So, if you look at the grey shades from their good side, like every dark cloud they could have a silver lining and work out. That’s why – think positive, find something good in every day and don’t forget your own fashion way!

Floral feeling

Dresses that feature flowers and floral patterns are often our spring and summer staple. With this article, picking some floral patterns I want to show you how they bring out your confident femininity. Floral print dresses styled the right way and outerwear are easily worn and could make the look of gloom.

While a floral dress is great in theory, in fact it is often a challenge to pull off, so choosing the right floral patterns is important to fit your body and style.

Consider that larger flowers are more flattering to smaller body types – you should not go for oversized floral patterns if you have a shapely one because those may add a few kilos to your silhouette. If your body type is slim to average, try combining larger with smaller floral patterns.

Also, consider the background color of your floral dress – a bright background fits perfectly on a thinner body, while choosing a darker one will give you a more tailored and tapered look and the illusion of being slimmer. 

At the end a floral concept must fit to your mood, style and complete your femininity, of course in a fashionway.

Skiing in Carinthia

Carinthia is situated in the southern part of Austria and is called „The land of sun“. In winter it is snow covered and as in most other parts of the country, skiing is the main activity. The mood is more relaxed with a Mediterranean touch as it borders with Italy – nearly everyone down here speaks Italian.

One of the biggest resorts in Carinthia is Bad Kleinkircheim, which is quickly moving up the rankings of the ski resorts in Austria. It has over 100km of pistes, 24 lifts and a slope steep enough to get included in the world cup circuit. There is enough snowfall throughout the season, but the sunny days are abundant as well – as you can see for the several days I was skiing there it was sunny all the way.

The hut at the top of Kaiserburg, situated 2019 meters above sea level, is a notorious one, with the fine views it offers and a traditional interior, as you can see from the pictures. Service and the food quality are very traditional for the region.

Adding some winter white

It is still winter but I’m looking so much forward to spring that when adding some winter white to my wardrobe I choose not only winter clothes (like a thick sweater and a cap), but also a short skirt and over-knee socks which would be more suited for a warmer season.

But before taking the challenge of wearing white, you should know that winter white is rarely pure white because of the wool material. It’s often closer to ivory or even slightly grayed out white, like ecru. But do you know – it’s worth it – take the challenge to wear white in your winter outfits, that way you will brighten up the gray cold days.

Year review

Decorating the Christmas tree this year, I looked at the year behind and it was just like a Christmas tree – full with moments in different colors, up and downs, great memories, challenges and experiences.

Going back and reviewing the year can be hard sometimes. But it’s important to see what worked and what didn’t, and then go ahead and analyse. Last year was very good for me – I was able to finish most of the things I wanted, had a lot of spiritual growth, learned a lot, found a wonderful team to work with and got more motivated. What an year! Can’t wait to see what the new one will bring! I am very excited about 2019.

And are your achievements in 2018? Have you already started to sum up your year and getting ready for 2019?

In those last days before the end of the year take your time to relax, gather energy for the new one and focus on what brings positive vibes.

Memories take us back, dreams move us forward, that’s why learn from the lessons of the last year, to make the next one your best!

P.S. I am very happy with this snake printed outfit.

Cosy evening in black & white

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.

Good morning from Hermagor

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.

Black beauty with tulle

Around halloween, the scary dark themes were all over the place, so I decided to continue the “dark” topic with a black beauty piece, which is these days very common in several brands. This sweatshirt dress looks elegant but at the same time very casual and can be perfectly matched with jeans, shorts or leggings. I have never thought before that a simple tricot sweatshirt dress could be matched with tulle but it really looks amazing and makes the outfit stunning. This black beauty everyday piece combines the street style with the chick one in a great fashionway.

Style is a way to say who you are

While I always like an attractive style I try to achieve a balance between attractiveness and the women’s power. What do I mean? I mean that not only the outfit has to be shiny and eye catching – like my wonderful Fracomina T-Shirt and jumpsuit, but it also has to match how the women herself looks – the hair, the expression of the face and of course a nice make up as the final sensitive touch.

Style can really say who you are. That is why you should choose your type – for instance if the trend is so that everyone wears a T-Shirt and a jumpsuit, you can too, but find the ones you really look good in and make sure they fit well together and are attractive.

Sticking to today’s style and trends is good but doing it with an own vision in a fashionway is just perfect!
