Remindsmeofthesummertimeonthiswinterday

Oh well, thanks to polyvore for giving me the chance to spend my whole evening creating collages. But it was great fun. I mean, how can it not be fun browsing through expensive things you never ever buy and create outfits you never ever be able to wear? But hey, I can dream, can't I?
I'd describe this composition as rock'n'roll-meets-girlish, but I'm not sure. All that I know is that I'm in love wth the tee and the snood...and the shoes...and...er...everything.

Anyway, do you know this feeling between Xmas and New Year...? It's like between the years, but you're not really between them. It's still 2009. But one thing just passed and you're waiting for the other, but in the meantime everthing goes back to normal, you know. The shops are open, you have to go to work again and things like that. But actually it's holliday-esque, so you're not really into shopping or going to work...don't know if it makes any sense to you...?

So, last but not least, an amazing tune for you. I have known The Dead Weather before, but I completely fell in love with them when I heard "I Cut like a buffalo" on the radio. So, I think it's worthy of sharing with you guys. (ignore intro)

preeeesents!

So, since it's December, 24th, Pinkcookie and I are wishing you a
Very Merry Christmas!

 Don't be upset if your tree doesn't look like that in the picture, mine doesn't, either...

Lindsay/ Abbey

Well, this is not a LaW presents, because I kind of don't have time to do it (but I'll do it soon anyway-promised!). I just stumbled over some AMAZING street style pictures of Lindsay Ellington (first tree) and decided to let Abbey Lee (last) slip her way in too, just because I like her so much at the moment. I mean, c'mon, how you can not fall in love with their style? Yeah, you see...

Haha, and...look at the 1st picture...Lindsay can make a blazer fly! She's so good! :D

The last picture (and the 9th) is gorgeous Abbey Lee. Oh, I love her hair! I guess she became one of my favourite models (we HAVE to do a LaW presents Abbey Lee soon!). But, however, she is not able to hold a candle to Freja...you can see four pics of her in that inspiration section, who can spy them? :)

1.Many rings+ black nails+ sequined clutch-esque bag = ♥

2. Random. But it reminds me of rock'n'roll, which is great

3.This is an ad for adidas in cooperation with fafi. The model is just too cute

4. Bakarella cookies. Oh, I'm so addicted to this site, I'd really bake EVERYTHING if I was able to. They have so cute things it's to die for. Seriously.

5. Models outside fashion show. Black. Black. Black. Light brown long hair. They look sophisticated.

6. Chanel bag, black nails, tattoos, fags. Nothing more to say, I think.

7. Burberry backstage. My favourite model holding the infamous clutch.

8. Chanel. Oh, it looks cosy! And, the nail polish is pretty amazing. I'm really looking for this colour, too bad I haven't found it yet.

10. Aw, more fags & smoke (no, I don't think smoking is good, I only think that it looks good when some people do it)

11. Breakfast at Tiffany's. AUDREY!

12. Forgot the models name (Shame on me!!!) But, shoes= drooling; coat= even more drooling. Overall piture= ... ... ... !!!

I have actually no clue where the pictures come from. I think the last one was an editorial by Numéro, but I'm not sure, sorry folks :)
Aaand...I'm going to post some inspiraton tomorrow because it has been a while since I posted the last one...

Greetings from Paris

I've got a Xmas parcel from Paris, and it's so cute! I'm totally in love with it. There were lots of sweets, a ring and a cool thing for candles...I don't know how you call it, but it looks very nice! Thanks L. :)

New stuff

Oh, hello lovely!
This is a MAC lipgloss/stick in a orange-ish colour, which I bought recently. It looks so nice, and the surface is so smooth, that it breaked my heart as I put something of it onto my finger. But it was worth it.

And by the way, yesterday I was looking through lisa's blog, where I saw that she had bought a shirt from Chicy. I'm so in love with the clothes! Okay, I admit, the models are awful, but look at the clothes! I want to buy the whole collection. Too bad the shipping cost are 16€, but maybe I will order something, though. Go and check it out guys, it's really awesome! (there are also several chanel-a-like bags :)

Come back, summer feeling!

So, folks. It's pretty boring sitting at home, and I can't go out or anything since I have flu, probably swine flu. Ha, I remember, like 2 months ago everybody was crazy about swine flu and in the news they said like 'one person in Germany down with swine flu' and now they don't even test you. the doctor just said: 'Yeah, probably, so many people have it now...'

Well, whatever. So I decided to blog something. Sorry, I've been a bad blogger lately.

"List 7 songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs."

Secret- The Pierces
It's probably one of the cutest song ever

Country Boy- Florence e Florentino
Just imagine being somewhere in California, lying in the warm sand and eating lots of ice-cream. I don't think I feel sick anymore. I'm also in love with 'I see birdies' by them.

The Escapologist- Sugarplum Fairy
Yes, this one might be old. But, you can sing along anytime and it's so much fun to dance around to.

Bright Lights- Placebo
The new version (Bright Lights in black holes) is amazing. Just listened to it today for the first time, and it's so much better than the album version. So ....clear.

Oh Mighty Engine - Neil Halstead
Two words: Chill. out.

I like the way you move- Bodyrockers
This is a soundtrack of a video I saw lately on youtube, and the song gets better and better with each listen. I actually don't listen that uch to such electronic stuff, but this is good. Really.

Liebestraum No.3- Franz Liszt
I have to do a presentation based on this song for the music lesson, so I'm listening to it very often right now and I even start enjoying it :D

French girl

I really like it. It's so simple and young, and very fresh. She really mixes up the designer things with the easy stuff. And she has this French attitude, which I love. For example, the first one, especially the red lips, is very French. I think, on the second look, the simple and a bit washed-out looking grey/green shirt together with the green scarf look a bit boring. But combined with the flower pattern of the scarf (look closer!) and the beige blazer, which looks expensive, the look becomes great. The red dress is one the one hand, due to the skirt, schoolgirl-esque, but on the other hand pretty ladylike because of the red colour. The feminine skirt and the blue blazer is always a go-go, you can't do anything wrong with this combination. The fifth look is my favourite: It's so great for winter! A wool white dress and a black wool coat. Brown boots and bag. Last but not least: black'n'white. (Actually black'n'cream). Legs all tone-in-tone and a sheer white top and a knit cardigan with puff sleeves.
Amazing.

Make-Up

Today, when I went home from school, I saw a quite pretty girl in a nice outfit in the bus. But that's not the point. This girl was...I don't know...very addicted to her lipgloss. Every minute she put it out of her bag and greased tons of it onto her lips so that they looked very sticky and I just wondered if she had just very dry lips and this lipgloss was kind of a balm she had to use in winter or if she just thought that she looked beautiful with so much clear gloss on.

So I decided just to write down what I personally think are the Do's and Don't of (winters) Make-Up

(Disclaimer: This is not generalized: any "Do" also can also look ugly and any "Don't" fabulous)

DO:

•  Use a bit of light pink lip stick and dab it with your fingers on your lips. Just on the middle and leave out all the sides. You can also use an orange shade. (like at Rag & Bone)
• Curl your lashes. The effect is much bigger than you think, even if it looks a bit weird before you put mascara on.
• Apply mascara only on the tips of your lashes. That's perfect for a day look. 
• Emphasize the eyes with eyeliner and leave the lips natural like at Louis Vuitton, Valentino and DKNY(2)
• Red lips. If you're able to do the 'perfect red lip'- do it (like D&G)! But don't use a too dark shade and keep the eyes simple: Just use transparent mascara.
• Use sun protection even in winter. There is sun, and this sun can damage your skin.
• Paint your nails in a colour than matches your lip stick (like Pilotto). Also, a brown shade is very in at the moment (see Chanel)
• Create your own eye shadow/eyeliner: mix mascara and eye cream until it becomes paste-like. It will look like the Eye shadow thing from MAC which you can use as eye liner (the application with a small brush is much easier than any other eyeliner) or as creamy base, which is good for night make-up or New Years eve. (Yep! I'm thinking of New Years Eve even if there's more than one month left!)
• Use light brown eyeshadow! Did you notice that so many runway make-ups do include it?(Chloe, Gucci , Proenza Schouler (also above)...) I guess this will be very big soon!

DON'T:

• Rouge. Just leave it. Due to cold your cheeks will be naturally soft pink and it will look very fake with rouge.
• Cream foundation. In winter your skin is very dry so cream foundation will cause flaked skin.
• Too much powder. A very matte teint looks unheathy, so it's okay to shine a bit. At the fashion shows they always use a special highliter on the cheekbones, so that they gleam, you can simply use a transparent lipbalm.
• The lipgloss thing. It will not only dry out your lips but also look sticky. Better, you use lip balm. If you are really into lip gloss, though, you should make sure that a) the colour looks natural and b) you put the lipgloss ON your lips, not all over your mouth area.
• (Brown eyeshadow, as mentioned above, is awesome) Against, brown eyeliner looks aweful- no matter which eye colour you have.

There are many more, but actually I'm mostly in love with her street style appearance and backstage pics:

Street Style and Backstage:

 

   

Her favourite brand is Acne and she wears the T by Alexander Wang almost the whole time. I guess the thing that makes her really speacial is this rock'n'roll attitude and 'Rebel' image, which is really cool and inspiring. She's my favourite model at the moment.
