Birthday

Posted on Juni 21, 2020Juni 21, 2020 by diana

Born on 21st of June, zodiac sign Gemini, I am a positive person, social, talkative and open mined for everything that’s new and interesting. My horoscope says that my strengths are – adaptable, outgoing and intelligent and I believe it all to be true. Of course, like every normal person, I have my weaknesses. But still I am always trying to look forward, believe in the good and never stop when facing difficulties. I hate the phrases „it can’t be done“ and „it can’t happen“.

So, after those few words about my personality, on my birthday I am mostly thankful for being blessed with health and a wonderful family.

June mood

Posted on Juni 18, 2020Juni 17, 2020 by diana

Although it’s already mid-June – it’s incredible how with the whole pandemic situation time flew by and it’s already June – the weather in Vienna is not really warm yet, but rather unstable. That’s why I am very unsure if the day calls for a summer outfit, or maybe rather not.

Still, for me, the beginning of June marks the start of the summer, therefore I am completely in the appropriate spirit – short pants, fancy tops, summer dresses, sandals, flip flops, bikinis, pool time and of course the sea. But this summer for me is a bit special – as we are moving to a new house, there will be only pool time at home, no travel to the seaside like every year. That doesn’t bring me down, on the contrary – I will always find time to travel, but moving into one’s own new house does not happen that often. I’m extremely happy that the house of dreams of my family is now a fact.

In that line of thought, my outfit today is with black shorts from Zara – I like all kinds of shorts – be it formal or fancy, because they are comfortable and easy to combine with other stuff. The top piece is from ALCOTT – once more in my favourite pink, but with long sleeves because of the changing weather. The look is completed by the accessories – a cute black Valentino bag and summer shoes from Humanic, in a fashionway.

White is timeless!

Posted on Juni 12, 2020Juni 12, 2020 by diana

Honestly I do not wear white very often, but lately I came to love it. First because you can never go wrong with this classic color, because it’s timeless. Then, it is a way to cool off in the hot sunny weather. And last, but not least, it can go with any other color in my wardrobe. Moreover it’s simple and beautiful – it gives the outfit that simplicity and purity in a beautiful way.

So, it’s a bright, hot and sunny day in Vienna today – the perfect weather to wear white – I chose a transparent Zara lace top with a long skirt and white Emporio Armani heels. It makes me feel confident, powerful and happy, knowing that white is an amalgamation of all colors.

Well, but I tried making this a different look by wearing a jeans jacket with a sweet flamingo, I hope you like it!

Lovely spring/summer palette

Posted on Juni 8, 2020Juni 8, 2020 by diana

I am so happy that this spring/summer season many of my favourite colors are in trend – mainly in the pastel tones. Just like those mystical creatures – the seahorses – they are sweet and tender and spread calmness and patience.

The pale color palette that is trendy now also carries sort of a sweet/mystic feeling to it, just as mystic and unique of a creature the seahorses are. I am looking forward to make many more outfits with those tones, for example blossom, biscay green, coral pink, sunlight, tanager turquoise, lark, denim blue etc., in a fashion way.

There is always a reason to smile

Posted on Juni 6, 2020Juni 6, 2020 by diana

No matter the season, month or day, I think we can always find ourselves a reason to smile, because when you laugh and love life, life laughs and loves you back :).

Smiling makes us look younger, it can relieve stress, boost our mood, trick our brain to focus on positive thinking and possibly bring many more benefits. But the thing I like most about smiling is it makes us more attractive.

Remember that a smile is the prettiest thing you can wear. Hence, next to wearing your nicest clothes you should never forget finding a reason for putting on your smile, too!

When in doubt be elegant in black

Posted on Juni 2, 2020Juni 4, 2020 by diana

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious like Yohji Yamamoto have said. I know it’s a quote that is used very often, but I use it too because black will always be black – not only modest, but also trendy and elegant and many more meanings in one.

I like fresh and sweet colours, but honestly I wear black very often. Black gives me the security that I can just put it on without worrying too much about the outfit – I can be ready quickly for going out, no matter the season or the occasion. And also because black will always stay trendy and fashionable, I can focus on the style instead of the trends.

Today I want to show you a piece that will stay forever in style if black – a trouser-skirt. It is also so comfortable and „fairy“, it makes me feel like I am wearing my home pijama, but in a very elegant style. It can also be combined with almost every top or shirt. I just take a short laced one to show the shape of the trouser-skirt.

And remember, women who wear black lead colorful lives 🙂

A cardigan is always a loved piece

Posted on Mai 25, 2020Mai 26, 2020 by diana

As the weather in may still varies a lot, a light cardigan is always a good piece to have around. But being very comfortable, a cardigan can also be very tricky and can easily ruin our outfit – that’s why you should know how to wear it without looking funny and frumpy.

The first thing is to figure out the style and length of the cardigan that fits best your body type. As with everything else about fashion, women’s bodes are different, so certain styles would be more flattering on some than others. That’s why you should learn what works best for your own body.

And it’s good to wear form-fitting clothes underneath a cardigan, or tight or belted dresses. Especially if the cardigan is a bit slouchy, you have to make sure the silhouette underneath it is form-fitting, otherwise you might look larger than you are.

The next thing to pay attention to is the fit of the arms – my favourites are the ones that have skinnier arms and feel the most slimming.

Also, feel free to show some skin – especially when most of the rest of your body is covered up. It’s more about what you put under your cardigan than the style of the cardigan itself. For example – if you combine with a turtleneck top – choose a sleeveless one, with open shoulders or collar bones. If you wear a normal shirt don’t cover the neckline with a scarf – show some skin instead.

In all that you should still pay attention to the current trends – right now, open cardigans are pretty hot – with holes, semi-transparent and with a different length on both sides.

I chose a holed pale pink cardigan, matched it with a black sleeveless turtleneck top underneath and skinny jeans. Of course, I can’t miss the accessories because they complete the outfit – a long necklace and earrings with a matching bracelet, sunglasses and a bag and shoes with the same colors and details.

That’s me

Posted on Mai 17, 2020Mai 17, 2020 by diana

My blog is really all about me and my style, not just photography work. When It started back in 2018 it was just an idea. With time I got more and more into the blogger „story“. I never aimed to be like the other bloggers – I just wanted to show and be myself in my posts.

Maybe sometimes the articles are too short, but I do not want people to read long texts, so I always try to stay to the point and be short – that’s me.

Maybe I often talk about similar or same colors – I have some favourites (like pink for example) and pick them often, even if they are not trendy and fashionable right now – that’s me.

I might be too casual too often, as I like simple, casual, comfortable street style outfits – but that’s me.

At the same time I might also often be too eye-catching – even with simple clothes because I try to never become boring – but that’s me.

Even though my hairdresser constantly asks me to make a change – I like my hair style and I tend to stick to it – straight with nothing more than a small plait – but that’s me.

Some tell me they prefer natural nails with maybe just nail polish, but I really like my nails to be like a piece of art – but that’s me.

Maybe very often I wear jeans or leggings, with a simple top or shirt with sneakers – but that’s me – I like this style. Such is my outfit also today – simple skinny Zara jeans, white Bugatti sneakers, a white top with an accenting transparent MONKI shirt (of course in pink), a sleeveless jeans jacket and a black-pink Victoria’s Secret bag, all of it matched in my „that’s me“ fashionway.

Wear colors that make you happy

Posted on Mai 11, 2020Mai 11, 2020 by diana

As you might have noticed, pink and all tones of pink are some of my favorite colors, colors that make my mood „sweet“ and it’s only natural for me to combine them in my spring outfits.

Many women don’t dare to combine hot powerful pink, but I do and I want to show you today 2 ways of matching this stylish Versace Collection skirt. This wonderful pink piece is very versatile – on one hand I chose a cream white silk Shirt to make an elegant formal business outfit and on the other hand a casual smiley T-shirt. For both looks I kept the same accessories – a small black Valentino bag just big enough to fit the most important women’s things and a pair of block heeled summer shoes in this fresh palette.

So, wear your happy colors and be creative in a fashion way!

Take your time for things that make you feel alive

Posted on Mai 6, 2020Mai 6, 2020 by diana

As the corona measures are getting more and more relaxed, I am feeling like living again and waiting for the hot summer. With this heightened mood I went over all my shoes, hoping the main problem this summer will be choosing which ones to wear when going out… just kidding, of course. I am the kind of woman who starts building her outfits from the shoes on, as I am a big shoe-lover. I consider that the choice of shoes define my silhouette and I am convinced about that – for example my husband told me that when we first met, the first thing he noticed were my legs and my shoes, then everything else :).

Although the shoes and the bag are considered as „accessories“, for me their role is more important and I never get tired of choosing and changing them regularly. So, shoes, shoes and more shoes… I am dreaming of an incredible shoe collection, in a fashion way. What about you? What type are you – do you match you shoes to your outfit, or the outfits to your shoes?
