CASHMERE BASICS

that’s essential to my winter wardrobe! I live in freezing Switzerland and I can really wear my cashmere cardigans, coats and sweaters!

I think we should all have one or two cashmere basics like a nice navy v-neck sweater or a beige roundneck cardigan. I get my basics from either C&A – yes you read this correctly 🙂 I got 2 super awesome roundneck cardigans – a navy one and a beige one – or I get them from the PARENTIS showroom in Basel (seasonal sale 2x a year – s/s and a/w)

so certain days when it is raining cats and dogs or just a foggy day I like to endulge myself in my cosy soft cashmere sweaters, coats, scarves and cardigans – they make me feel as if I had not left my bed 🙂

here you can see some ideas of how I wear my Cashmere Basics – either very casual or a bit more edgy elegant. thats the best thing about fashion – there are so many options and so many different ways to wear the same thing! I love to play with different materials, colors and patterns and often I love to stay in the same colors and wear different shades of the same color.

BROWN and BERRIES

here I am wearing some of the famous fall/winter 2014/2015 colors like subtle beige and grey, warm oxbloodred and a soft beige brown!

it is the time of the year again where my wardrobe is becoming a mix of summer and fall clothes. especially here in Switzerland the fall clothes are sadly outnumbering the summer clothes! anyway it is now where I can wear midi skirts with sweaters and leatherjackets and I am a huge fan of naked legs and covered arms!

JEAN-PIERRE BRAGANZA

JEAN-PIERRE BRAGANZA
ARTEMISIA AW 2014

his collection is inspired by the early baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi and has a very dark approach with a lot of black and heavy, stiff materials. what I really liked were the coats jackets and blazers. I was sitting in the second row. which was not a bad place to sit but still I couldnt take perfect photos of the outfits. here are some outfits that I have seen via jetsetfashionmagazine.com and worldsno1model.com and nowfashion.com

FLEUR D’OR ACACIA

Christmas is ahead – are you in the mood yet?

I received the L’OCCITANE en Provence Fleur D’Or Acacia parfum, showergel and handcream and I can tell you that I absolutely love the fragrance. A couple weeks ago I took this photo and uploaded it to my instagram and ever since I have been using the showergel everyday. So I will definitely repurchase this kit.

Incase you have not started shopping for christmas this might be a perfect idea for a beloved friend. In Basel, Switzerland the Shops will be open on Sunday this weekend – just incase you are from this area 🙂

HATS HATS HATS

HATS HATS HATS <3
I can not get enough of it!

so far I have been wearing my burgundy “H&M” hat and my beige/red “JUICY COUTURE” hat in september and oktober and in that sense I am really looking forward to fall/winter season 🙂

your outfit will look more complete you dont have to worry about your hair and you wont need an umbrella – these are only few advantages of wearing a hat and I guess there are a gazillion reasons more to wear your fedora, bowler, homburg, tryolean, cowboy or porkpie!

ladies wear your hats with style! xx
