The little black dress has been around a long time and it is not going anywhere anytime soon. Every woman should own one (if you don’t where have you been?) as they are the absolute wardrobe staple. We all have those days where everything in your wardrobe feels completely inadequate and the only solution is to pull out your LBD. The great thing about these dresses is that you can style them in so many different ways. Think you need three different dresses for work, shopping and a night on the town? Think again!
Ready for a hard day’s work …
If you think that dress you wore while dancing the night away is inappropriate for work you’re wrong – well kind of. While it might not be appropriate on its own all it takes is a few tweaks and you have yourself a great professional outfit. Add black tights, as bare legs are not really for the workplace, flats or your best court shoes and a cute coloured jumper/cardigan over the top. This will make it appear like you’re wearing a black skirt and you’ll look smart and professional.
Shop till you drop …
For shopping you’ll want to be more casual so take your boyfriend’s shirt (or just an oversized one) put it over the dress and tie it loosely. Pair with pumps or converse, your choice and your favourite satchel .You’re comfy yet stylish – the perfect combination when preparing to hit the shops hard.
Fabulous on a night out …
This dress has stud detailing and already screams night out so it’s the easiest thing in the world to just add the finishing touches. A pair of killer heels, some bright red lippy, a great clutch bag and some gold accessories. Voila! If you want to stand out from the crowd try adding neon accessories which will give this dress a completely different look and be bang on trend.
Don’t just use these tips for your LBD ladies you can apply the same to any dress you like just see this post for a great example of how to do it.
Hello my loves,
today I am sharing a outfit post with you. As some of you might have realized I love leopard prints and leather. My style tip for you is, if you use a leopard print piece in your outfit always make sure to use just one! Never over do it with the prints. That is why I chose to style this beautiful blazer with a simple white t-shirt and my favorite leather pants. The red pumps I have added to put some color into the outfit. And because I chose the black handbag with a golden detail, I chose to use only gold colored accessories. I know I might look a little bit serious in the photos, but hey I am still not used to do a lot of outfit posts :-D Should have smiled more I guess! How do you like the look in general?
When I first started blogging about 6 months ago, I knew that it would be some kinda of work. I was playing with the idea to have my own blog for quite some time, but feeled sort of intimidaded when I saw all the gorgeous blog designs on my favorite blogs.
So whenever I had some time, I tried to learn coding, creating graphics and etc. I didn´t know how many things you had to keep in mind to maintain a blog and give it the personal touch, but as usual I didn´t give up to learn and teach myself. Patience is a virtue and I definitely have a lot of it, if I really want something!
So today I present you my new blog design on Madame Keke which took me quite some time to do. Check it out and let me know how you like the overall design of the page. I am pretty much satisfied with it and this will go a long way for now. Unless I get a moment of inspiration and change it again!
Have you ever tried to design your own blog from scratch? And if not what kept you from it? I am actually thinking about adding a new section called "Blog Tutorials" to my blog. Would you be interested in that?

The Aloha Friday Blog Hop is more than a "Friday" hop, it's a way to share aloha and friendship to our fellow bloggers all weekend long!! I consider this particular blog hop to be more of a weekend hop because Fridays are so hectic that a lot of people function on what we like to call "Hawaiian Time" here in Hawai'i which means they link up on Saturday or sometimes even Sunday which is just fine and dandy with me! That's why I keep it open from Friday through Wednesday because I sincerely believe, the more the merrier!!

Hello dolls,
as some of you might have noticed I am totally into Neons and bright pinks lately as you you can see in my last outfit post Pink Neon Love too. I chose to review this nailpolish because it captured my eye right away when I first saw it in the Douglas store downtown, it was love at first sight ! When I visited their closest and newly opened store in the Nord-West-Zentrum Shopping Mall in Frankfurt only a month ago, I as a former store visual merchandiser was highly impressed at how beautiful they have managed to design their super cute small store.
Flormar is a professional makeup line that was established in Milan and carried their complete production to Turkey in 1972. In my summer vacations to Turkey I was always stocking up on their products, especially the nailpolishes that are available in a prize range of 1,95 Euros - 2,50 Euros. In Germany they are only available since a little while in Douglas stores and they just have 6 own Flormar stores in the biggest metro cities here.
For the polish itself you can see it is a very bright neon, I tried to capture it in the photos as good as I can. The opacity of it is extremely good, it would had been enough to use just one layer, but I am used to paint two. I haven´t used a topcoat over it, but would recommend to do so, just in case ( that´s just me ). It is absolutely long lasting, I had it almost a week which is fantastic. Overall I am totally in love with it! What do you think?
Do you like the color and would you wear such a bright pink? Let me know in the comment section my loves if you would like to see more swatches like this !
With Christmas being around the corner everyone is in the rush buying gifts for their loved ones. Sometimes we get so caught up in this fast paced environment, that we loose track and don´t know what to gift our sister, mother, best friend, relatives or sometimes colleagues.
I used to buy a lot of clothing, but there are actually much more gift ideas like all kind of cosmetics. Fragrances and perfumes are difficult to buy, because you don´t know most times how the scent will smell on that specific persons skin. At this place a gift card from a perfume shop could be a great idea. A lot of designers create gift sets throughout the year, especially before the holidays they put together very nice beauty sets, most times for pretty affordable prizes in every budget. Well known cosmetics companies have makeup kits, I personally love those palettes from NYX, cause they are very handy and you have all you need in one kit and can carry them in your handbag. So if you know that the lady you are planning to gift uses makeup, chances are she will be very happy about a makeup kit as a christmas gift. So here is the first part of my christmas gift guide for you, in which all gifts are under 100 Euros. Maybe you can find something or you just wanna grant yourself a wish ;-)
