Back to the Blogosphere

Wearing white requires caution: not the best for someone as clumsy as me...XD

We went out for drinking a coffe together (yeah, at night, totally normal).

A recent going out outfit: shirt from blogger Jules, leggins primark, belt noname, shoes (?), earrings jerusalem, bag present from mam, ring six.

It happens to all bloggers occasionally and there is not much that we can do about it, even if we love blogging with all our heart and put a lot of passion into it...sometimes real life demands (and pleasures) are so strong that you get completely distracted from the blogosphere. In my case, I had no idea that my break would be a month long even if I was thinking that I'd like to blog every day!!. Does it give any indication of how incredibly busy and exciting a work place abroad can be? Now I am back for good and I have tons of fantastic pictures and stories with me:

* a shopping trip to Tel Aviv
* a adventurous trip to Jordan
* a boat trip at the sea
* lots of events with friends

So: Yaay, finally a blog update (a decent outfit post, suitable for a fashion blogger) and there'll be more from me soon =). Cordial greetings to all my beloved readers!
Love,

Milla vs. Rumi vs. RVCA

Rumi Neely (Blog).

Collaborations with star designers are nothing new in the fashion world. But this one is: Fashion Blogging Queen Rumi Neely from Fashiontoast (who has her own campaign for Forever21 displayed on Times Square, NYC right now) teamed up with surfer label RVCA and designed this awesome dress for their collection: The Machinery Dress.

Available at RVCA's Online Shop: here (~ 60 Dollar). Kinda reminds you of something??!!

Right! The inspiration was Leeloo Dallas' (Milla Jovovich) outfit in The Fifth Element (with Bruce Willis). (One of my favourite movies and I recognized the source of inspiration already before I read where it is from =))).

I am not sure yet if I like the black version better than the white. Okay, but the most important question: Any RVCA retailers in Germany or do I have to ship it from the States??? Awww.

Conclusion: More design collaborations with Rumi please ;). Amazing how the bloguettes influence in the fashion world grows, hmm?

***

Still overly busy until at least Friday! Please keep your fingers crossed that everything works well. Meanwhile I had a lot of other issues to deal with also (uff). A few calm and peaceful days would be nice soon! A good start into the week my lovelies, keep your spirits up!♥♥♥
Love,

I am deceiving winter!

Shopping Outfit. Blazer and hat from Vintage market, shirt from Only,
jeans from Mister&Lady Jeans, boots by Marco Polo. Love this outfit!!

Just suffered my second shock today. First one was looking out of the window this morning: everything is covered in snow again (despite the fact that snow finally disappeared completely yesterday - grwwnn). Second: Blogger wouldn't let me post, just found out that there is something amiss with the new editor. Hopefully this is resolved soon.

My cell phone broke (without any mistreatment!!), therefore I went into the city. Sadly, it can't be repaired. At H&M I tryed on this:

Okay, this is merely basic and all. But you know what? I totally deceived winter! Do I care that there a minus degrees outside? Nope! Can't you already feel a little sunshine?

So these two pieces had to go home with me^^. Promised, this is not a delayed effect from winter blues. Check on my vintage finds (last post) and you'll discover more summer stuff there. I will be needing it very soon - ssht! The secret will be revealed soon^^.

I hit upon a jewellery sale in one of our major department stores and this is what I found additionally:

Mint is one of my prefered colours lately (slight association to spring daffodils, anyone?). I was magically drawn to this necklace, because it reminded me of a story from Greek mythology.

Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, gets abducted by Hades, God of the Underworld, to live with him as his wife. Her mother comes to retrieve her, but it is said that you can only leave hell, if you refrained from their food. Unluckily, Persephone ate four pits from a pomegranate ("Granatapfel") - they are deep red and shaped like the ones in the necklace. Due to this incident, she had to stay in the underworld with Hades. The legend has it, that she was allowed to leave hell for several months every year to live with her mother Demeter. Those are the months, when everything is green and blossoms outside. Beautiful, isn't it?

Love,
