Mädchenflohmarkt

One day in the summer we got an invitation to the presentation of the new platform "Mädchenflohmarkt", it almost works like "Kleiderkreisel", but it only sells high quality products and always verifies the payment and the dispatch of an order. So you can easily send them some of your old clothes (who have to be still in a good condition), they wrap it up and send it for you to the buyer. I really like the idea of "Mädchenflohmarkt" who not only sell really beautiful pieces, but also do something against the thinking of wastefulness of our generation. If you don`t like your old yellow pencil skirt with those big blue flowers anymore, doesn`t has to say that somebody else might not be interested in. Maybe exact that old skirt can really make somebodys day... I also love their webpage where they`re not just selling and presenting clothes, but also show the wardrobes of known people in fashion szene like photographers, bloggers or boutique owners for example. It`s always a big inspiration for me to visit their site.
It also was a really nice afternoon we spent at the "White Rabbit", a small café in Munich, where "Mädchenflohmarkt" presented some of their articles of clothing. I talked to a lot of interesting women who work for fashion magazines like the fashion assisant of the german Vogue etc.
The menu was by the way also very delicious :)
I hope you find the time to scroll through the different offers on http://www.maedchenflohmarkt.de/  and enjoy the rest of your sunday and have a wonderful start in the week!

My loved colleagues at work

 

 

 

 

 

It seems really long ago that I posted the last time but there were so many things going on I couldn`t tell... But I promised to talk a little bit `bout my internship. So here I go: I absolutely loved it. There is nothing to say but this. My colleagues were amazing, we had such a good time together. Almost every second day we drank champagne after work just to celebrate our end of the work day or sometimes just ourselves. There was a great atmosphere all the time and I could really see how everybody loves its job there. It wasn`t only a job for them, but it was their Passion and they loved it. Not always of course, but most of the time. Working at a Fashion Magazine is the most incredible experience I ever made. My boss, who by the way was the most amazing woman I ever met, gave me a lot of responsibility and I always had a lot to do. Although I "only" was a trainee, I realised many interviews with starlets (among others Jürgen Vogel lol :), Fashion and Beauty Shootings and helped often at the Organisation of productions. All in all I loved it. But I already mentioned that I think ;) On the first picture you can see my favourite mate ever. Nicole who was an absolute fantastic listener and best smoking buddy you can imagine. Even now, six months after the end of my internship we`re staying in touch. On the second picture all my loved colleagues are together. It originated at the good-bye-party my boss threw because of the end of my internship. How I already said she was amazing, you can see her on the last Picture (right). With an amazing career, two sugarcute kiddies, a lovely husband, an incredibly beautiful flat in Munich and the most open-minded and creative mind this woman achieved everything I want in life... The redheaded girl next to me is Julia, the most lovely styling assistent I ever saw. Beside work we become good friends and she was the one which who I explored my true taste in music and my passion for electro festivals in beach locations in Munich. Summarizing I just want to say: THANK YOU you all for this amazing time!

Simple but sexy

Ich wollte nun endlich mal wieder einen Artikel auf Deutsch verfassen, für mich leichter zu schreiben, für euch leichter zu verstehen! Mein Outfit heute ist einfach, aber sexy, für alle die, die kein Englisch sprechen ;) Ich liebe die Jeans von Gstar Raw, die im Orginal über 300 € kostet, die ich aber in einem Outlet in der Nähe von München für nur 80 € erstanden habe. Nun zu den wichtigeren Themen. Seit über einem Monat wohne ich nun schon in München und diese Stadt hat mich völlig gefangen genommen. Natürlich ist es kein London, aber es hat seinen eigenen Charme. Seinen eigenen unwiderstehlichen Charme sogar. Ich war positiver überrascht als ich es erwartet hatte. Wildfremde Menschen plaudern mit dir im Bus über deinen und ihren Tag, Kaffeverkäufer verschenken zur heißen Schokolade ihren letzten Donut und meine Kollegen in der Moderedaktion sind die Besten überhaupt. Von wegen "Schnips und du bist raus", "Verwechsle niemals Berufliches und Privates", "Vertraue deinen Kollegen niemals persönliche Geheimnisse an". Bei uns wird mittags zusammen gekocht, es wird sich immer über das Wohlbefinden aller erkundigt und es wird herrlich viel getrascht. Die ganze Etage, nein das ganze Gebäude, welches Madame, Mädchen, Hommes, Inside und Jolie beeinhaltet duftet geradezu nach Innovation, frischen Ideen und Stilbewusstsein. Egal welchen Trend ich in den Magazinen erspähe, ich wusste es schon einen Tag vorher. Was bei uns getragen wird, ist nächste Woche in. Was bei uns schon längst verjäht ist, ist erst seit letzter Woche out. Ich liebe diese Luft in unserer Etage, wo immer wieder neue Trends in den kreativen Köpfen all unsrer Redakteurinnen entstehen und wieder entdeckt werden. Es ist eine Atmosphäre, die einen selbst beflügelt und inspiriert. Ich verspreche in den kommenden Wochen mehr davon einzufangen und hier darüber zu berichten. In diesem Sinne, genießt die wundervolle Frühlingssonne!

Now it`s definitively time for a post again. It`s one of my absolute favourite outfits because of its comfiness and coolness at the same time. If it`s too cold I just put on my lovely coat from asos which is in my opinion really beautiful. It was totally worth its 107 Euros. I always try to mix expensive brands and cheap brands like Tommy Hilfiger sneakers with a primark jeggins. Nobody knows and I don`t really care if it`s not that good quality at Primark. It`s a super good price and whenever this jeggins is broken, I have to replace it which is not really a big problem ;) I don`t blame somebody for only going shooping at Primark or H&M, I think they really have some nice pieces. Almost every time I go to H&M I always find at least one thing. I`m sure some of you do so, too. I hope you`re all fine. 
One week ago I started my internship at Vision Media, it`s a big publisher for lots of magazines like "Jolie", my absolute favourite magazines of all. It`s like my dream job to work there and meet all these amazing people and make great new experiences. I try to post now more often and I really try to give my best to keep you in the loop. 
Have a beautiful week.

Riga

 

Riga-

it was a very spontaneous decision to go to Riga. First of all you surely ask, why the hell Riga? And where the hell is Riga at all? It`s in Latvia :) I didn`t know it before that trip, too. But it`s a really nice city to visit. Since a few years it got more and more famous and now it became even the European Cultural Capital of the year 2014. But still Riga is quite not touristy with only 690 000 inhabitans and that`s really enjoyable, almost all the streets and popular places were quite and not too overcrowded. Compared to Paris or Venezia I really enjoyed this silence.
The whole trip started when I read about Riga and found a really cheap flight to the city. So after two weeks my best girlfriend and me, we booked a hostel and our flights. After all we must say it was a great trip.
So the most important and beautiful places for me are definitely the oldtown with all its beautiful little colorful houses, including the Riga City Council, the Riga castle, the Livu place and the freedom monument. What I really can consider you is the breathtaking view from St. Peters Church, the first three pictures are made there. But also you have to go to "Alberta iela" and "Elisabetes iela" where you can find the largest and finest collection of art nouveau buildings in the world (!). For culture freaks it` s the dream but also for young people there is a lot to see. 
The oldtown with all its nice and comfy pubs and bars is great for the evenings and at the port there are two absolutely fancy restaurants which are also cool clubs the later the night. They`re called "Aqua Luna" and "Koya". For good traditional latvian food and a nice atmosphere you have to go to "Lido" , found at almost every corner in Riga. For one day it`s worth going to "Jurmala", the Baltic Sea relaxation place at the beach and you don`t have to be afraid because of the money, Riga is still quite cheap... a beer is only 3 € and a ticket for the train sometimes only 1 €. I loved it!!!
For shooping Riga is not that perfect but they have a lot shooping galleries with nice shops f. ex. Zara, Mango, H&M, Bershka or PullandBear, so you`re not completely lost.
There is this funny fact that there are twice as much latvian girls than boys and while walking through the big parks or in the evenings in the pubs you can really see the very stylish and pretty girls who all try to look the best for catching one of the rare male specimen. 
The weather was also not that bad as expected, it was nice and warm so I just can recommend a weekend-trip to this beautiful little city, especially in the summer when all the nice rooftop bars are open. I hope I could inspire some of you.

Have a lovely weekend.

Winter sun

When the winter sun shines, I`m more happier than ever. This is the perfect match for me: grey and black and gold. The golden accessoires like the belt from mango, the chain from primark or the handles of the purse are like statements on the outfit and work as eye-catcher. At the moment I really like the golden chain because with it you can enhance every outfit, so I`m pretty sure you will see it more often the next time. In my mind you need some basics like this grey shirt or the black purse which fits to almost everything. Also the chain as a basic accessoire is absolutely essential. So enough talk. I wish you a beautiful weekend, enjoy the sun :)
