I liked the idea of taking the wonders of the desert in an urban context. This is what Berlin located brand Lala Berlin did. Organic forms and prints, light and silky materials paired with irregularities, inserts of lace or asymmetrical cuts define a modern, yet romantic feminine collection.

I especially loved a certain jumpsuit with wide legs and ruffles at the front. The delicate straps provide a beautiful décolletage and don’t steal the show of statement sunglasses and bag. I chose the Fendi bag which is the perfect accessory for a look that is based on prints and flowing materials as it doesn’t take away the lightness but sure gives a vibe of fashionable statement thanks to its own organic form.

Lala Berlin’s collection was all about a mix of contemporary modernism with traditional habits. That’s the reason why I mixed my very modern printed jumpsuit with heavier mule-boots in a statement color: yellow.

The Dorothee Schumacher dress is a true eye catcher thanks to its material and very extravagant color. The orange harness and ruffles details may be an obstacle when deciding to wear it or not. But once you’ll wear it you’ll immediately feel the runway vibe. It’s a very warm and lobster colored orange which works fine with tanned skin.

I know, sometimes we feel a little bit shy or self conscious when it comes to fashion and we prefer to keep it low key. But don’t take the fashion circus too serious! Play around with colors and styles! And wearing a beautiful classic cut with popping color details is a first step in the right direction.

The secret behind wearing a statement piece like this dress is to keep the accessories simple and less colorful. You see? It’s really easy to dress up colorful. This long sleeve dress by Dorothee Schumacher with orange harness and ruffle detail is the perfect statement piece for a nice cocktail night out! So put your pumps on and have fun!

Lena Hoschek with her collection „En Provence“: Feminine dresses, floral prints and bohemian chic inspired by 1850s fabrics found in the South of France. C’est magnifique!

The dominant trend color of the spring/summer season 2016 is white. Marc Cain presents white elegance under the theme „Future Romance“. Inspiration was taken from the classic 1975 movie „Picnic at Hanging Rock“.

Riani brings back the colourful style of the 70s and combines light materials with wild leather and ethnic look. The company booked many well-known faces from „GNTM“ for its runway: From Rebecca Mir to Luisa Hartema and the top three finalists from the previous season Vanessa Fuchs, Anuthida Ploypetch and Ajsa Selimovic. Lovely!

Talented star designer Marina Hoermanseder rocks the brilliant mix and match between soft pastel colours, blossoms and leather elements. 8,000 leather flowers were handcrafted for this collection. We are amazed! No surprise she is part of the German Fashion Design Council.

These are our highlights of the fashion week. Which are your favourite looks for spring/summer 2016?

It’s your girls night out but what to wear? Sometimes we’re not in the mood for the classic party option: the dress. Of course we want to look glamorous and chic and it’s easier than you think to achieve this look. You can leave your sparkling dress at home and pick your favorite pair of leather pants instead.

I combined these Zara black skinny leather pants with high heels and a black top with ruffle details. The classic „all black“ look is always great to chic up your look and the leather pants with zipper details add some edge. The ruffle top by Dorothee Schumacher is simple and glamorous at the same time. The ruffles won’t be visible by first sight but if you take a second look the delicate flowers are a flattering and extravagant detail. Just add some simple black pumps and voila!

Loose hair and red lipstick top of the girls night out look. Your now ready to have an amazing night!

A full midi skirt is a beautiful and fun alternative to regular midi or mini skirts. It’s volume and cut is very feminine and emphasizes the female silhouette. The 50’s charm can be a bit too fancy for a day-to-day look and I would like to show you a great combination that works!

The skirt by Dorothee Schumacher features a delicate flower print and a broad belt with silver hardware around the waist. Clearly, this skirt is the eyecatcher of the look and we don’t want to take the spotlight away from it… So I combined a plain white basic baseball top and tucked it in. The delicate silver necklace by Lilou compliments the silver hardware of the skirt and adds a bit of girly attitude to the grown-up look.

To make it even more playful and keep the 50’s atmosphere I combined the look with fun leo pumps which also feature a red bow.

This full midi skirt look is playful, flattering and suitable for daily use at the same time! Would you try it?

This post features a jumpsuit by Set and I would like to show you how to create and urban and edgy look with it. Jumpsuits are a stylish and comfortable alternative to maxi dresses and shorts in summertime. They come in different materials, sizes and styles and all of them offer a great range of styles. This can be confusing and you’d rather not buy that hot piece you had your eyes on for the last weeks. It does not have to be this way. Actually, it’s pretty easy to find accessories for jumpsuits. It’s still only one piece! Have fun by dressing it down or up.

I chose the green jumpsuit made of satin fabric by Set because of its relaxed fit and its unobtrusive details. It’s the perfect piece to try different styles on.

To achieve a certain urban vibe I chose a classic crossbody leather handbag by Mango in a warm brown tone and combined it with nude flat strappy sandals. If you like, leave a few buttons unbuttoned to take away the stiffness. The ethno necklace and loose, wavy hair add an edgy component to the look.

Have fun experimenting!

A Sunday brunch especially in the summertime Is a great opportunity to catch up with your friends and family and enjoy the day off from work (or gain strength for the coming one). I get lots of questions what to wear on this occasion. Either you feel like dressing down a bit and leave your office look at home or, you see It as an opportunity to leave the house with a sophisticated look. Well, let me tell you: you can have both at the same time.

The look I created on Dora Molina consists of a silk blouse which adds the certain chic vibe and simple skinny jeans. The blouse is also very young and fresh thanks to its light material and the modern, colorful print. Combined with the grey skinny jeans Is a versatile, sporty and Sunday brunch appropriate outfit.

I picked grey snake printed pumps with a bow detail on the tip to match (and not steal the show) with the colorful blouse and skinnies. If you had a busy week or looking for something more comfortable and relaxed you can also wear flats or even nice sneakers.

The secret behind this versatile Sunday brunch outfit Is to take the formality out of the blouse. Just tuck in the front and roll up your sleeves. Yes, It Is that simple!

Have a great weekend!

Kiss, Vio

As you all may have noticed: The 70s are having a major revival this spring/summer season! Next to denim, flowery dresses and earthy colors you’ll find lots of variations of palazzo pants on runway and in stores.

The question is: How to wear palazzo pants?

For a chic and yet relaxed look you can combine these wide-legged pants with a cropped top  and sandals.

To keep the chic look I added a white textured top with cropped layering in the back. The palazzo pants from Lala Berlin feature a modern graphic print referring to the wonders of the desert. The understated 70’s feeling that I wanted to achieve with this look emerges from the orange details of the sandals and the wide cut of pants.

We know you’re a busy bee, spending a lot of time in the office or at business meetings. Imagine, you’re having a date with your girls after a long day… Would you rather not go out with them because your outfit does not feel appropriate?

Well, there is an easy solution and I am sharing it with you. Hint: You don’t even have to go home and change your wardrobe! Believe me, transforming from office to evening look is FUN (and you’ll spend more time with your friends and some delicious cocktails).
