I quit thinking about summer, since its raining or just cold - so I make the best out of it and collected some autumn pieces from the current summer sale all over Asos and Edited. I will definitely go for some Mom Jeans, (or Girlfriendjeans, however you want to call it) and embrace the nineties a bit more by adding some serious patent elements - at the end, its all about surviving the cold wet seasons - the so called german summer. Actually this is funny, because I am already about to look for some warmer places on this planet. Until then, this is my recommendation if you still need some basics but want to save on money:

The first time in a while that I´ll got some good old
Storm-Pictures. She is literally one of the very few genius people who take a few shots and everything is fine, because she has the third eye for good moments - this shoot took us five Minutes, even less, if I didn't had to burst out laughing when reading other peoples face expressions. This outfit is btw my way to welcome summer back, only if for a day I wore off-shoulders again. And I saw the sun, which was a huge surprise since I am still here in Berlin and my tanned legs must be lying, I don't even know where they take the color from.

After three years, I dare to wear those super trendy Mom-Jeans. Even my little sister was faster on that trend - even now I am not sure if I am wrong about them. Lose fit on my "negative bum" as my friends say looks kinda weird, but a good weird. Its like having a tote bag that looks absolutely fine but its empty as well, so you don't need to carry so much stuff with you, while still having a nice tote bag. Maybe thats a good description for my body. I paired them with a silk blouse that Storm once gave me in an act of kindness. I still feel like this is my favorite basic piece. To add more femininity to the whole look, I am wearing lace up ballerinas and a chain bag. It was, by the way, damn hot on that day and I felt like melting each second I moved around, so don't mind the stiff poses in that post, I try my best in autumn again.

We are so close to finish our bedroom - the wall color is done, the boxes are nearly unpacked (after four months, surprise) and the Bed is beyond perfect. To give you a slight overview of the moodboard, I want to share my pinterest inspiration and the interior that goes together with that. For the slightly dark grey on the walls, I have chosen some lighter bedding to brighten it up. Additionally, I´ve collected my copper details in the bedroom. The Lamp and the side table from my former bedroom will stay and warm up the coldish grey tones. Overall, I am pretty happy with the results so far, I only miss some pictures on the walls and maybe another shelf for Books, but thats something we can manage. For me the Bedding is something that changes the most about the room (since the bedroom consists of 90% bed) I found some nice sheets on a budget at H&M Home, made of pure cotton in nice stone tones or Chambray - My favorite Grid Sheets are from Urban Outfitters but literally the worst buy ever. The quality is just very low and thats a bummer, since I wash them pretty hot. However, if the sheets change so much about the room so quickly, that I really enjoy changing them. Where do you get yours?

Just a few Impressions that I nearly forgot. I always try to write posts that make sense to read (haha really?) But this is for me, Juule and everyone who was wondering if we did something besides hanging at the Museum. In fact, we had the longest walks, the most stupid jokes, more and longer walks and some ice-cream. Barcelona was my favorite city so far - even if I could say that about every trip with her, this one was special: We have chosen to travel at a stage of our lives, when we had more important stuff to do (I had my finals) and still, we were so relaxed, had the lowest expectations and the best experiences. I will definitely go back to Barca again, trying to offer you some food guide in the near future as well and maybe see a bit more than modern architecture. Enjoy the little photo diary!

Pretty long sleeved and with a full length pair of jeans, I am stumbling into the transition Season - sadly the one between Summer and Autumn, which makes me a bit melancholic. I am currently off to spend the very last hot days in Budapest, and know that coming back to Berlin will mark the official end of the summer. This is also the very last month of my life that I can spend without worries, because I still have an insurance and am officially a student. More or less, I am growing up, just in time with the falling leaves. (Lol, I am such a romantic person) But seriously, can you spot all those leaves on the floor? Its officially Autumn, you can burry me now. I have spent the past weeks with getting rid of old stuff, finishing the flat for good and spending some massive quality time with friends, learning how to not use a skateboard and hanging at flea markets (as a seller). I know that Autumn will be the time to apply for adult jobs, figuring out what I really want from Live (currently: Stewardess) and also getting my own insurance. I do not look forward to it.

English: Finally we are done and the result is beyond cozy! The grey color does not seem dull at all and we are done moving boxes. (current location: the other side of the room, hidden below a pile of clothing) I would lie if I would say we are completely done, because the pictures are only on the bed, not fixed on the wall - but this is something I can change in near future. Still, I am completely in love with the Boxspringish, yet "normal" Doublebed by Home24.
Parsberg is his Name and his price is completely affordable. I like the way the grey bed matches the wall (I know, groundbreaking) but especially the copper colored accents make the picture complete and add some warm shades in the cool sleeping area. I tried to add a list of all accessories and furniture below, but I must admit that some of the things are older and therefore hard to find, so I tried to link some alternatives. I hope you were able to find some inspiration! (GERMAN TEXT BELOW)

Deutsch:Nach langem Kisten hin und herschieben (sie stehen jetzt in der anderen Ecke, unter einem Haufen Kleider) Ist das Schlafzimmer bereit, fotografiert zu werden. Ich würde lügen, wenn ich behaupten würde, die Bilder hielten auf der oberen Kante. Aber das werde ich noch ändern, eventuell mit einer Fotoschiene. Ansonsten ist das Herzstück (und 50% des Raumes) das Bett von Home24. Ein Hybrid aus Boxspringbett und einem normalen Doppelbett mit einem schönen grauen Polster, dass sich nahtlos in die Wandfarbe einfügt. Parsberg ist sein Name und sein Preis vollkommen erschwinglich. Die passende Matratze hatten wir im Keller, wer noch eine sucht kann aber gerade bei Home24 eine bis zu 40% reduzierte finden. Besonders gerne mag ich die Kupferfarbigen Akzente, die man bereits aus meinem alten Schlafzimmer kennt. mit dem kühlen Grau kommen sie aber noch besser zum Vorschein. Ich habe euch Alternativen unten verlinkt, bzw die Marken aufgelistet. Allerdings sind viele Stücke bereits älter und damit schwerer auffindbar. Ich hoffe ihr konntet dennoch die ein oder andere Inspiration abgewinnen. Wir fühlen uns jedenfalls sehr wohl und Bett machen macht sogar ein kleines bisschen Spaß.

The very last hot days in Berlin and still, I prefer a minimalistic black ensemble (groundbreaking.) It might have been
Alice` influence on me, who is dressing in nothing but black for a few years now, so she is the real all-black everything inspiration in here and I am the lucky one to take pictures with her. Or maybe this is just the easy way, to pair a black culotte with the vest and create something "business-casual". However, the last days were like a whole gallon of fruit punch, way to sweet and they left a dry feeling in my mouth. The Lollapalooza was a good moment to burst out in tears while Radiohead performed "Reckoner" (anyway, in Rainbows is my favorite Album ever, forever.) And Budapest was a so-called special experience in a way that only a Stingray would understand it. I am about to look through all my pictures and cannot help but smile and wish for the next trip.

Not expecting anything at all form Budapest in Hungary, I found myself in an historically picturesque city full of bridges, pretty patterns and pastel-pinks. Of course, I felt the Grand Budapest Hotel memories coming up, but thats exactly why I did not take pictures of the classic stuff. Even if everything is beautiful, I didn't came to copy some postcard photos, but preferred to ask some locals for their favorite spots and got a lot of input. Way too much for three days, so I couldn't make the sports stadium and the subway stops. But even better for me: we were not really looking for anything but finding out that Budapest has its hidden contemporary treasures, plus 30 degrees included. As usual, I want to show you special spots for minimalists. I hope you´ll enjoy this little selection. Below are a few other tips, but without pictures, since I did not snap everything.

First things first: The Airport. Arriving at the Budapest
Liszt Ferenc Airport (T2 Arrival) by Zoltán Tima and being immediately amazed by the white panels and grey marble walls. The two-layered construction is inspired by the 70s. All structured around one single central point, this airport is heaven for anybody with a low general orientation. Definitely worth a stroll, if you're waiting for your flight. find it here:
Budapest, 1185 Hungary
Second one, the Ludwig Museum: The Building itself did exist way before the museum inside of it. The Müpa Budapest building hosts the technological museum as well as a concert hall besides the contemporary museum of arts. As most contemporary buildings, the keys of the architectural concept were the lighting conditions and adaptability of rooms. The roof works as a filter, letting just as much soft light inside of the exhibition halls in, as needed. When we were there, we had the pleasure to see the Chanel exhibition which was full of models, wearing, obviously, Chanel. Find it here:
Müpa Budapest
1095 Budapest
Komor Marcell u. 1.
One secret treasure: Architects Béla Hosfstätter and Ferenc Domány designed a complex of two buildings with amazing linoleum and marble interior. The exterior of the house would not tell you what waits for you inside. After climbing up the seven floors on the spiral staircase, we got a chance to step out on the roof and enjoy a little bit of sun. For me, this Bauhaus beauty was one of the best places in Budapest. We were lucky enough that some people went inside, so we could sneak in. If you have a thing for staircases, you will like it. Find it here:
38, 40 Pozsonyi utca,
XIII District
Not exactly what I would call minimal, but contemporary and interesting: the Lehel Csarnok Market Hall by Rajk László is one weird colorful playhouse / market in the northern Part of Budapest, (Ludwigstadt) found by accident, the stay in there was extended due some serious Langosz Lunch moments. If you have a thing for the 80`, like cheap food and a whole bunch of locals that tell you their sisters married of to Germany and are with rich husbands now, you will definitely enjoy your time there. Otherwise: this is the perfect spot to play hide and seek. Find it here:
Váci út 48, 1132 Ungarn
Last but just because we ran out of time: Balna Budapest (whale Building) is some kind of shopping center right at the river with some very nice monochrome interior. Find it here:
Fővám tér 11-12, 1093 Hungary

Excuse my awkward play with the hair - I was nervous and it was way to greasy for outfit pictures on that day, but someone has to do the job (And I am sorry for my boyfriend who gets to do the hardest part: motivational trainer and photographer). However, I can count all the pictures I managed to leave my hands down and get to a straight three, which turned out even more awkward - but who cares if you're wearing a khaki badass bomber jacket from the Menswear section (Size S and still, I look lost in it) I am already layering 3 pieces of clothing below that jacket, so welcome Autumn! I have never been a summer type, but I must admit that taking pictures is more fun without shaking. The Kiomi Sweater and Jacket make up for the sudden cold and I am fine. Yesterday I officially received my diploma and I feel like a child that someone forgot at the mall. Lost and confused. So I did the only right thing: I booked 4 more low-budget backpacking holidays for this year and am looking forward to escape the adulthood. Wish me luck!

Finally we have the golden evening sun back. Since we still enjoy the nice weather and the +20 Degrees, this is just a beautiful way to start in my favorite season - transforming a huge scarf in a poncho as soon, as the sun goes down, seems like a nice side effect. I am wearing my Mom Jeans, that make the ugliest bum ever, but give me the comfiest feeling (you must have realized that during the past outfit posts, featuring the same jeans, and the next one as well - yes, I own other clothes, too.) and finally also got a Belt, holding up those denims. Funny enough that I never considered Belts as accessories or important at all, since skinny jeans were the only ones that worked for me. With my growing denim collection (I have two blue ones by now), a good leather Belt can be a live savior. And this grey suede Belt by
FILD Pieces immediately jumped from zero to essential. A big plus is the local craftsmanship they invest in and the fine materials. Between all the ZARAs and H&Ms on this planet, there are still those, who care about the pieces that should last in your wardrobe.

This Post goes quick and dirty: there is the more or less new vegan hotspot in Berlin. Brammibal is one of those places where I go, when I am stoned or sober and its always just fine. Just kidding - it is fine, because they use amazing ingredients and have the not-so-typical not-dunkin-donut-at-all flavors. My absolute favs: caramel hazelnut or matcha. The dairy and cruelty free donuts make a day better, honestly - and the people that work there are just the sweetest. 2,50€ for one is also an absolutely reasonable price. If you ever have to chance to hang out in Kreuzberg and you´re looking for something sweet to complete your meal, give them a try. It won't be the last one.

Just returned from Warsaw, I did not really get some good night sleep in the cheap night bus me and my friends decided to be a good choice. Trust me, it wasn't. After a drunk polish man started a fight with the bus driver, we realized that we would probably need more than eight hours to return back to Berlin. Still, I can say that this was one of my favorite city trips so far. Not only the eastern charm, the Stalin-Buildings and the Brutalism made it special, but my two friends who made me laugh 24/7, even after being awake for more than 20 hours were the main reason of my happiness. So much about that. The last sunny days were a good opportunity to check out some locations for pictures in the sunset. The Momjeans thing did not stop yet, so I pair them with a darker top than in the last 5 outfit posts. I still own other pants, too - but who cares as long as I wear cool shoes. Thanks to KIOMI for this amazing piece!

Since I am welcoming the rainy weather, the bitter cold and my newly gained loneliness with a massive illness, I love to remember the probably most intense summer I´ ve ever had ( brace yourself: this is the beginning of an emotional text). Looking back to the past months, I graduated from University after three stressful years, found the best friends ever had and got my better half back in town - at least for now. Other things, such as Love were just amazingly weird, inspiring and supportive in every way. I think I can be beyond grateful for whatever good or bad happened, because at the end, we will all end up how we should. I never looked forward to winter before, but it feels okay now. I would write more, but this is a fashion blog and I will now focus on the SEO Stuff and drop the word: "Bomber jacket" multiple times, so Google will not ignore this post in the endless search lists of the magic internet. Bomber Jacket. Bomber Jacket.

Long time no see - because I was busy doing basic life stuff like searching for a job or a winter escape. Also, its damn cold and I rather sit in my comfy home office (which is a sofa in the living room) than shooting outfits outside. A good Reason to leave my sofa is food, or to be more precise: hanging out with Alice at the favorite Vietnamese Hotspot in Berlin Mitte. Que Phe is infamous for its amazing vietnamese coffee, the great dishes and the nicest staff. Usually, I think everyone is amazing and everything is amazing, because my standards are pretty low. But Alice highly recommends it and she is my foody-expert when it comes to any food. A big plus is the wide range of vegetarian and vegan options, which are (in my opinion) even better than the ones involving meat. And even I, as a non-sweet-tooth, gets usually seduced by one of the black-bean filled buns for dessert. Thumbs up for this great spot in Mitte. Prices for main dishes 4-8€, desserts between 2,50 and 4€ and the usual coffee prices.

I recently discovered the incomparable awkwardness of public outfitpost-shooting (after seven years of blogging, that discovery must be groundbreaking). What am I looking at? What am I thinking about? Walking around 2 feet back and forth with nothing in my head but anonymous strangers, swiftly passing by, nails it pretty much. In those five Minutes of shooting, I feel how the Berlin Tourists stop to approve my outfit, which is pretty ironic, because I post them online anyway and should not be bothered by that at all. Maybe this is the first sign of retirement from that "business". After giving an interview for someone´s bachelor thesis about authenticity and blogging, I started to overthink that whole concept. Is wearing a fluffy sweater something I want to talk about? Can I lead this Blog more in an Editorial direction? Shall I just stop complaining and start to talk about that fluffy sweater? I am pretty sure that this page will go through some changes in the upcoming two weeks.

Every City has its corners for minimal lovers, if you put enough efforts in searching for them. Although this is not the right word. I have visited Warsaw with a semi-local yet everything-knowing polish Girl and another friend of mine and we literally had the best time ever. We strolled the city for four days, ate incredibly much on a low budget and I made my first eurodance experience and petted around 10 different dogs in only four days. But this is a different story, we now want to focus on contemporary architecture and cool spots in Warsaw that you should not miss, if you ever have the chance to visit the polish capital city. I hope this short Warsaw city guide helps you to experience the most of the city:
The Jewish Museum, Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich, POLIN
The Museum faces the memorial commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. The winner of the architectural competition was Rainer Mahlamäki, of the architectural studio 'Lahdelma & Mahlamäki Oy in Helsinki, whose design was chosen from 100 submissions to the international architectural competition. The Polish firm Kuryłowicz & Associates was responsible for construction. The building's minimalist exterior is clad with glass fins and copper mesh. Silk screened on the glass is the word Polin, in Latin and Hebrew letters. Entry: 3€
Visit their Website ul. Anielewicza 6 , 00-157 Warszawa
Muzeum Sztuki of modern Art
Despite the great visitor numbers, this museum will soon be shut down in order to open the new building. Still, this Museum has some striking features and east european charm and simplicity. If you´re around, you should definitely get some coffee and grab a book! Entry: For free or 3€
visit their website ul. Pańska 3, 00-124 Warsaw, Poland
Politechnika Warszawska
This University has not only the highest number of manager-alumni in Poland, but also an amazing Interior: The monochrome floor consists of black and white marble while the roof is decorated in several shades of green and yellow glas. You can enter the building for free and spend hours there, strolling the hallways.
plac Politechniki 1, 00-661 Warszawa
The Area around the main central station: Besides shopping Opportunities and the cultural center, you can find a few skyscrapers and gals-covered modern buildings. Don't miss out on following locals and opening doors. The "Soho Area" in Warsaw contains a Neon Letter Museum. The industrial Area is something you definitely should visit. Mińska 25, 03-808 Warsaw

Are two coats the new coat? Alice threw her Maison Martin Margiela Treasure around me, when she saw the good match - she probably has the radar for extraordinary combinations. The slim fit &otherstories Wrap Coat from last year literally asked for another cover, thats how thin the navy colored wool is. The egg-shaped black coat creates a silhouette in a completely different way then I usually wear. This outfit was not intended in any way, we were working on a project for another brand, when we gave this combo a quick shot. What do you think about double - coating?

The University Luigi Bocconi was the very first stop in Milan. Right after our arrival, we left the apartment for food and the Fondazione Prada. On our way, we stumbled over this impressive building by the Grafton Architects. As the school is ranked as one of the most prestigious Business and Law institutes in the world, its no wonder that the building itself moves as skywards as their alumni. While the north site of the building faces the busy streets, the south and the west is calm and cold, forms a private space for the students and builds the perfect environment to learn. The entry is wide and open, it allows the public to enter the private space, invites them downstairs to the enormous exhibition space. The Classrooms are connected to each other through cylinder shaped staircases, with slim windows to embrace your inner observer. The whole area is the perfect playground for a city stroll and extremely welcoming.

Der feine Unterschied fällt oft erst beim Erblühen auf: die zunächst grünlichen Knospen öffnen sich in einer Drehbewegung und erbleichen ins Cremeweiße. Aus dem Herzen der Knospe kommen mehr und mehr Blütenblätter und vollenden die Blume. Um den prallen, rundlichen Kopf ranken sich die Schutzblüten in einem hellen grün. Viel dicker als die innere Knospe, legen sie sich um das schutzbedürftige Innere und legen eine Schicht nach der anderen frei. Die weiße
AVALANCHE+®ist anders als die anderen, kaum mit Dornen bestückt ist der der Kopf so vollkommen, als wäre sie gemalt. Im Licht und Schattenspiel der trüben Wintertage bringen die leuchtenden Blumen einen Hauch von Wärme mit sich und geben einen Teil ihrer Feinheit in den Raum ab - kein Wunder, dass sie besonders auf Hochzeiten den Mittelpunkt der Bouquets schmückt. Als Füllmaterial für meinen Strauß wählte ich Eukalyptus, die rundlich blau-grünen Blätter schmiegen sich um die prallen schweren Blütenköpfe und Weidenzweige schlingen sich um das große Bouquet, damit möglichst wenig in ihrem Weg steht. Diese Feinheit wird von blauen Disteln gebrochen, die stachelig und grob ihren Weg durch den Strauß bahnen. Ohne Zweifel könnte ich die Avalanche Rose zwischen all den weißen Rosen unterscheiden, so genau betrachtet man sie unwillkürlich. Beim Floristen holte ich mir noch einige Tips, damit die Schönheiten möglichst lange frisch bleiben:
- Schneide die Blume einmal quer mit einem scharfen Messer an, eine Schere würde nur den Stiel zusammendrücken
- Am ersten Tag trinken sie besonders viel Wasser, also habt die Vase immer 3/4 gefüllt
- Entferne alles Laub unterhalb des Wasserspiegels
- Wechsle das Wasser nach 5 Tagen und füge neue Schnittblumennahrung hinzu
- Das Wasser sollte mindestens Raumtemperatur haben
- Die Rosen sollten nicht in der Nähe von Obst, direktem Sonnenlicht oder der Heizung liegen

Milan was the escape-Berlin trip I booked for my birthday. Since I never was the type of person who plans too much, I just let it all come as it should and see: I accidentally had the greatest company on earth by
Juule and
Alice. I am pretty grateful that I can call those two spontaneous ladies my friends - especially because we had some massive foodporn going on, besides this architecture guide which I will present you in a second. Overall, I must admit that I am a huge Milan fan. The Area we stayed in was Navigli and located at the canal. As soon as you come closer to the city center, you see skyscrapers and the most charming restaurants. I will definitely visit Milan again, but for now, feel free to enjoy my top 6 locations for Architecture lovers:
1. Fondazione Prada - Largo Isarco, 2, 20139 Milano
The formal industrial complex, which is now a Museum is a must. Located in the east of the city, the Fondazione Prada by Rem Koolhaas and Chris van Duijn has a whole external Area that you can explore for hours before entering the exhibition areas. We have spent the whole day there and it took us four hours to finish the Exhibitions alone. Besides the multifaceted venues, you have the chance to visit the Wes Anderson Cafe and enjoy your coffee next to pastel colored interior and gambling machines. (They don't work though)
2. University Luigi Bocconi - Via Roberto Sarfatti, 25, 20100 Milano
The University Luigi Bocconi was the very first stop in Milan. Right after our arrival, we left the apartment for food and the Fondazione Prada. On our way, we stumbled over this impressive building by the Grafton Architects. As the school is ranked as one of the most prestigious Business and Law institutes in the world, its no wonder that the building itself moves as skywards as their alumni.

3. Tower A, Piazza Gae Aulenti, 3, 20154 Milano
4. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Piazza del Duomo, 20122 Milano
Not exactly a minimalistic spot, but a must for sure. Not only the fact that you´re probably visiting the Area anyway, because you will visit the Duomu, but also because a little tourism fun never killed nobody. The light falling into the Gallery will amaze you just as much as the roof. So you can still ignore all those PRADA shoppers around you and look up.
5. Torre Velasca - Piazza Velasca
This Brutalism Building was my Milan Favorit. Located in the south of the touristic Dome, this central area seems like a completely different world. The 50s Design is a result of the second world war bombings and had the logic approach of giving as many people as possible a space to live. The Building has over 26 floors of which 18 consist of offices and shops. The upper floors are for living. The Architects Gian Luigi Banfi, Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso, Enrico Peressutti and Ernesto Nathan Rogers had a clear approach to collectivism and founded the Italian rationalism.

I started to wear colors again - as you can see, I got a little tired of monochrome minimalism. So this season I added not only this popping blue to my capsule wardrobe, but also yellow, which you will see in some of my upcoming posts. The approach is to keep the shapes simple, as I wear my
Zign STUDIO Boots that resemble the sharp facade of the Philharmonic Orchestra, paired with my first tailor made piece of clothing ever: A chino pant by Selfnation. The loose fit allows to layer some pairs of wool tights below, which are beyond essential facing the Berlin Winter and the coldest wind. Having reduced my wardrobe to 50 pieces, I will keep on until I have 33 only. And a good pair of loose black pants have been on the list for a while.

Da an Weihnachten alle etwas verlosen, wird es auch Zeit, dass ihr hier etwas gewinnen könnt. Es geht um eine liebevolle Aufmerksamkeit für einen bestimmten Menschen, die perfekte rosa Tischdekoration, oder eine Belohnung an euch selbst, weil ihr die Vorweihnachtszeit bis zum heutigen Tag überstanden habt. Ich habe euch dieses Bouquet im Wert von 50€ zusammengestellt, dass euch bis zum 20.12 geliefert wird. Es enthält weiße AVALANCHE+
® Rosen, eine exotische große Protea und rosa Wildrosen, umhüllt von Eucalyptus.
Kommentiert einfach unter diesem Bildauf Instagram und ich lose am Donnerstag, dem 15.12 den Gewinner aus. Viel Erfolg!

Currently in Madrid, I am off to Valencia in a couple of hours. The last events in Berlin left my friends and family in a deeply confused mood and I am more than happy to have left town only shortly after the incident. Looking forward to the sea, the plus 18 Degrees and the new city, before I will stay with my family for christmas, I can take some time off to think about the next steps. During the upcoming couple of days, I will finally realize some changes on the layout and the overall concept, so I can see this outfit post as the last one of its kind. Stay tuned, safe and positive and enjoy the last days of the pre-christmas time!
