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! ;)

NYC #2 // On Brooklyn Bridge


Since I am right now in one of the most fashionable cities in the world, I am taking this chance to capture some nice, authentic NYC street styles. Lately, I have seen these classic black leather Dr.Martens boots a lot! In the streets, on campus and in several retail stores, but when I had my eyes on them back in Germany I couldn't make the purchase just yet. Maybe because I feel like they are too chunky.


This English girl shows us that they are not! But she is also striking another trend: the shirt-tie around your waist! Although this here is more like a jacket-tie, I love how she twists up her all black everything outfit with such a small detail. Do you already know which two pieces to twist together? ;)

NYFW // Black Summer


After that afternoon of NY Fashion Week madness, I met up with Yona again later (after my class) to take some outfit shots of ourselves. Since I had to bring my Yoga clothes (yes, I had a yoga class that morning, too), my school stuff and my camera, I had to bring my backpack. It also had to be comfy, so I went with my brand new sneakers and paired them with all black classics. Oh, I did let some of my stuff ship to NY since I was traveling for a month!

That day, I wore one of my favorite shirts I got during my shopping-challenge. I haven't showed you this one yet because I would only wear it when skating. This time, I thought: yeah why not, try something new! It's a very tomboyish look, but I think it comes from all the skating, and also traveling with boys, but you know what? I really like this one. It's black, gold and a touch of burgundy, my favorite fall color.


Where did I buy that shirt you might ask? When I was in Berlin last January, I visited the Funky Summer Shop and Fränky showed me what he has been doing all fall and winter. If he finds time, and there aren't as many customers coming for longboards, he prints t-shirts with silkscreen. You might wanna check it out this year if you happen to be there.

I chose this print because it has a very special meaning to me, I am also very drawn to tree-designs and this one was just perfect. I love how the tree grows out from the longboard, it was love at first sight. The t-shirt is also organic, so I didn't feel too bad about buying this during my challenge. Hope you like it!

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!

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!
