The key of space and time


My new key necklace (from Six).

Has a pretty soft pink ribbon!

Futuristic key - maybe makes you able to fly? (Source)

Ancient letters - bearing a secret? (Source).

Keys are magical. It is decisive if you have one or not. What could be more terrible than a locked door, closet or casket? Or maybe it is a key to love, to happiness, to success? Sometimes you might like to give the key to your own heart to somebody. Or you are desperately trying to open somebodys heart and fail, because you cannot find the key. Keys promise the owner influence and power. They can open the owner what he/she desires or lock something savely away forever.
My key is also special. (Apparently my new necklace has three keys - the biggest one is my favourite!) I love to wear key necklaces and also have another one (more plain). This one instantly catched my eye and I had to have it, because it perfectly resembles the key of space and time!

You do not believe me? Then watch the video below and get indulged in childhood memories. It was only available in Japanese, but that does not matter, you will recognize this famous scene right away!
Any fans under my readers?



[Scene from Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon: Chibiusa is owner of the key, which is able to teleport through space and time.]
For now, I'll dream of traveling to other dimensions^^.
Love to you all,

Every year twenty-four lucky girls from international teenage high society get an invitation to debut on the Crillon Ball held in Paris at the luxurious Hotel de Crillon. Among those girls have been royalty princesses and daugthers of politicians and film stars. They are chosen to wear a Haute Couture (high fashion) designer dress from e.g. Lacroix or Oscar de la Renta. Additionally they are lent jewellery from Adler, the company that hosts the ball. All of the fun is contributing every year for a different charity project! I am amazed about this event, because I heard about it only a few days ago. And I am happy that there is a real Cinderella girl: Famous American fashion blogger Jane Aldridge was invited to Paris to take part for Chanel! I am sure she will publish her personal photos the next hours on Sea of Shoes. So there is dancing and a buffet and many people in sparkling dresses... 
I do not have to point out that going to a ball all prettied up in a designer gown is the ultimate dream for every girl??!! Such a great and unique experience^^. If you are further interested in the ball, then take a look at their official homepage, where you can admire the lucky princesses from previous years in their gallery and watch videos from the evening. Wow!!
Love,

Big City Girl: Lilly on Tour


Lunch at an organic food café!

View through their window...a pink house!!

Can you spot that gigantic disco ball in the store?

They have adorable pink fluffy changing cabins - love!!

And today's outfit (oops, with glasses).

Love that disco shirt (by Tally Weijl), the hat is my current favourite key piece (by H&M).

Cute plaid mini skirt (currently on sale!!), seen by New Yorker.

Golden glitter butterfly with perfume bottles^^.

My shopping trip started with lunch at a newly discovered stylish organic food café, where I had cauliflower curry with coconut and a latte macchiato! The food was exceptionally delicious, it tasted like something my mam would have cooked. So I will definitely be a returning customer! I spent some time chilling out  there while browsing through a few local scene magazines and listening to Beyoncé (they played it there, that was awesome).
For the rest of the day I was lucky that only few people were shopping in the city...having free changing cabins is something a fashionista really appreciates! I picked up the last Christmas presents (I have outdone myself this year, finishing that matter before December the 1st^^). The city is all prepared with Christmas decoration (only a few real snow flakes missing). Seems like I am a little into red and black lately^^.
Love,





PS: I am currently looking for a rose shaped ring in black or red, any useful suggestions?

Sweet lace, ruffles and ribbons from Heaven^^.

The fashion equation: sequins + pearls + tulle skirt = perfect outfit!


And the delicious party food to get along with the outfits! Yummy. Source

Hi cupcakes! Let's say life it what happens to you when you try to set up a plan and the moment you have all pretty organized...something comes up unexspected and you can forget the whole planning thing. When will I finally acknowledge that?? I went shopping today and spent a wonderful time seeing all the latest pieces at the stores. As it is really late at the moment and I am half asleep, please be patient for them to be posted on Saturday evening.
I totally heart the clothes in the collage!! This negliee...the skirt...this shirt...awww. They are my top 3 pink favourites by H&M at the moment. My friends keep making fun of me, because I appreciate pink that much...come on gals, it is one of the most beautiful colours in the world!
Pink rules the world - it's as simple as that!
Kiss and goodnight,

*** Scabrous ***




I am sitting in front of my laptop with my second cup of Latte Macchiato today. On my social network I was confronted with this annoying advert. The catching phrase of their campaign says (translated) "Shopping without Swine flu - buy safely in our Online Shop!". Really, really bad taste guys! I see no point in using people's general fear to get infected for marketing purposes. This is a No Go! Come up with something better please.

Angelic Prettiness at Victoria Secret's Fashion Show



Escaped from paradise garden...


Or born out of thin air?


Forget the underwear, I want that jacket!!!


Those boots are breathtaking!


This has one it all: feathers, ribbons and jewels!


Ready to jump through time? Where do you like to go?


Bling!Bling!


Royalty has its own rules.

This years Victoria Secret Fashion Show took already place last week on Thursday and is yet to be aired on December the 1st for the public. Beforehand, I would like to share my favourites from their wonderful, creative and inspiring show! See below for a video about the history of their popular angel wings. Every year there are more than 30 models walking for the label (among them the girls contracted by VS as official "Angels"), but only 12 wings are available and of course every girl hopes to get them! I missed those gigantic wings...this time they headed into another design direction with their wings altogether. Julia Stegner, a famous German model also walks for them. And also Heidi Klum, only six weeks after giving birth to her last child! This years design themes evolve around "Star Trooper","All Aboard", "Pink Planet", "Enchanted Forest" and "Romantic Journey".
I totally adore their products and I hope to be able to actually visit one of their beautifully decorated stores.
Love,







Pictures from
Fashionologie. I dedicate this post to FJ, who is enamored with VS's angels^^. And to KV and KS, who share my admiration of VS's products.

Polar bears have blue eyes








Lilly wears: (dress hm, jeans mister+lady, shirt vintage, heels ca, bracelet primark, earrings six)


Close-up of the dress!

Hi my cupcakes! I would like to share a new piece that I bought at the Vintage market. The search after such an elegant and yet comfy blouse dress has finally come to an end! The colour is soft blue and it has two ribbons on the sides!^^. My eyes have pretty much a similar shade of colour, so it's in one word: perfect!
Yesterday I was lucky things didn't turn worse, meaning that my right hand got injured during my gymnastic classes and I had FJ driving me at 10.30 PM into the hospital and had to wait there for three hours...but it's not broken! Uhhh...relief. Nevertheless it still hurts and I cannot use all fingers properly, but let's hope that will cure: I would like to wrap the Christmas presents myself!
Love,





PS: Thanks to FJ: for waiting the three hours for my sake - and for taking the pictures!


Cute polar bear with scarf and ice crystals^^.

Collien Fernandes designs for armedangels!





Get the Collien Fernandes tshirt at armedangels!


Collien Fernandes in her new armedangels tshirt (available in pink + green!)


And yeah lavender - with armedangels logo.

Collien in St. Catherine's Home in Mumbai.

Join the social fashion revolution... 
Armedangels is an eco-friendly label, which stands for organic fashion and fairtrade and against child labour and environmental pollution. I introduced them and their philosophy here. With December the first, the tshirt designed by German TV-star Collien Fernandes will be released in the armedangels Online Shop. The amount of 5 euro will be donated with every sold tshirt to the Indian children's home St. Catherine's Home in Mumbai, which Collien Fernandes is supporting personally. The shirt print says "One Good Deed every Day", a great motto! I  fancy the pink Collien tshirt^^.
If you are interested check out their collection here. Everyone please enjoy your Sunday and start happy into the new week tomorrow!
Love,
