NYC #6 // Express Yourself in Central Park

H&M Basic Top // ThuThu Shorts

Fleamarket Handbag & Sandals // Bracelet from an ArtFair

One thing I love about New York is that it does not matter at all how you look or dress like. The more time I am spending here, I feel the need to experiment more with my wardrobe and try out new things. Although the outfit I chose for the last hot weekend in NY is not 'new' in the sense that I never worn it before but new in a sense that it is not black, more colorful and just different. These ThuThu Shorts I bought a year ago turned out to be one of my favorite summer pieces. I love how the shorts confuses people and they might think: what is this, skirt or pants? :) I also love the traditional Vietnamese Sapa Pattern as Pocket Details. You should definitely check out ThuThu and her unique creations.

A beautiful smile is worth so much! Thank you :)

Strolling through Central Park that afternoon, we discovered the wonderful singer Bekhari from New York, who was in a middle of a shooting herself. We loved the golden details and her shoes!

Later on, we met the two Denim Ladies Shonelle and Cherish, both dancers from New York and the Netherlands. The Denim trend is stucking with us and won't leave anytime soon as I still see Denim-on-Denim Combos around the city. We really liked Cherish's Jumpsuit and Bomber Jacket, also the perfect mix with the Air Jordans!

 Of course, we had to take a Group Selfie :)

It's New York,

celebrate yourself! ;) 

Mindful Monday: Shopping Madness

NYC #4 // "Money looks better in the bank..

..than on your feet", that is what Sophia Amoruso, founder of Nasty Gal and author of the NY Times Bestseller #Girlboss recommends us. As soon as you get out of the airplane and land in the heart of Manhattan, you see shining lights with photo-shopped ads everywhere. Anytime, you will find sales going on: Buy one, get one 50% off. Buy 4 for 25$. Buy two and you get the 3rd one free. It's crazy! People are running around with huge shopping bags as if spending money would be their biggest hobby. 

Of course, I am tempted, too. There are so many stores you won't find in Germany and designer brands, where you just want to dive in and all the consignment stores and flea markets. Oh my! It's shopping heaven for any fashionista! What shall I do? Buy or not buy, that's the question... I know these are first-world problems, but Mindful Monday is there to reflect and rethink my actions. Before coming here, I already made myself a shopping list and only wanted to buy specific things. Now this list has reached its edge and I don't know what to do. Did my 6 Month-Shopping-Challenge teach me something? 

Yes, it did. Every single day here, I tell myself: Try to keep your money together, save it, you will need it. Only shop what you love, not because something is cheap! Be selective and live within your means. Think first. So, at the end, I didn't get these nice pair of Nike Wedges. Amoruso is right, I do like my money on my bank account better than on my feet.

NYFW S/S 2015 // After Rachel Zoe #3

This is the final post of the street style series I shot after Rachel Zoe's Show at Soho Grand. If you read my last post, you can tell how excited I was to see familiar and well-known fashion bloggers I adore. In here, you will also find some influential people from the blogosphere!

Love this!

Anna Dello Russo, Vogue Japan.

Lovely Boots!

Such a cute couple!

This was actually my second time being in front of a show in New York and hoping for some street style pictures, but two years ago... when this blog was still named differently and when this was mainly about my travels back then (stroll through my archive if you like) I didn't have the right camera to take good pictures and yes, I have to admit, I wasn't as confident enough to ask people to take pictures of them! 

Now, two years, a fashion internship in Berlin, a different blog name and more experience with this later, everything worked out very well on wednesday. Not only did I meet Yona the very first time to hang out, but I also asked Aimee Song, one of my favorite bloggers, for a street style picture! #girlcrush 

I actually met my blogger friend Yona through blogging and as we started talking more and more, I told her that I would be in this city soon! She came with me to the show and took some candid detail shots, check it out here. Thank you for stopping by guys, I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I do! 

New ideas are popping up in my mind,

so stay stuned for more stories from the city that never sleeps ♥

Edit: Yes, I took all photos myself. 

If you use one of my pictures, you must specify it and link back to this blog. 

Thanks!

NYFW S/S 2015 // After Rachel Zoe #2

That Alexander Wang Tee *.*

 

This is #2 of the Street Style madness before and after the Rachel Zoe Spring Fashion Show at Soho Grand. As you can see, I took many many pictures because I was just so overwhelmed about how many people and also well-known bloggers were actually still there in the city. It was almost the end of the shows and I thought: Well, I doubt that there is still a lot going on, but let's check out the spot and just see. Maybe we'll get some lovely street styles..

Love the pop of color here!

Black and Gold, always a go-to.

Matching partners in crime, we ♥ it! 

Rock'n'Roll Neck Party!

More geometry please :)

AND OH MY GOSH, another OMG-moment after Olivia Palermo!, this was supposed to be one of my luckiest days in the city so far! Coming to the place, expecting nothing and then, receiving more than you wanted, was just CRA-A-A-ZY! Although my university schedule was really tough, I made the best out of it and spend a good amount of time there shooting some of my favorite bloggers, getting to know other motivated like-minded ones and you know, just being super excited about everything! It was totally worth it that I came 5minutes late to class ;)

Yes, that day, that moment, I was pretty happy and every single time, when I saw a familiar face I only knew from the worldwideweb, I was like: OMG, I don't know what to do =D All fashionlovers, do you hear me? My inner Me was kind of freaking out, but of course I stayed cool, my outfit totally did it and I wasn't afraid to ask them for some pictures! Also, it was a real pleasure for me to meet and see Susie from Stylebubble again because I did an interview with her last summer for my editorial internship at LesMads, read it here in English, here in German.

Nothing goes better with this colorful outfit than Nike Roshes!
