Shopping Blues #2

Night blue cocktail dress with black dotted lace.

We just suffered a small electrical power outage and I have been busy all morning to fix it... or at least trying to find the source of the problem. Now it is working again (without any apparent reason from outside...) - the question is just how long... So far to my weekend...it really messed up with my schedule for today!Anyways, it is getting hotter and hotter here every day (we do not have a thermometer at work, presumably because nobody really wants to know the exact degree of torment *lol*). I am still looking for a wedding dress and for other summer dresses. I found a very stylish store called Renoir(?), where they sell all the cute dresses in this post. Let's see what we got:

~ By the way, they don't have mirrors in their (indeed very narrow) changing cabins, so I did my best to catch the design either way. What about the poor fashion bloggers in Israel?! How are we supposed to work under these conditions?? :) ~

Here we have a dream in turquoise with lace and in a very soft fabric - my personal No.1!♥ The jewellery I already bought here would match perfectly.

WOW! I mean, come on, this dress outstands everything that H&M produced this year for the Garden Collection. Beautiful pattern and delicate volants! We want... ♥♥♥

And last but not least I was still looking for a dress with blue roses (like the one here). The reason why I did not initially let them all wrap up and run out of the shop like the happiest girl in the world? Each of them costs between 80 to 100 Euros... and I feel so guilty when I think of all the dresses in my closet (one a rainy Sunday in the future I should take the time to count them... or better not). Sooo, which means that I have some very good options now, but I am still not content. The wedding is next month, so I'll be busy finding something appropriate!
For now, I'll go to check the electricity again...!
Wonderful Saturday to you!♥
Love,

Out of Reach

Hi =). A few days before my departure to Israel a new H&M order arrived and I had only minutes to try the clothes on, before they got savely tucked away in boxes. Now they are at home in Germany and I cannot wear them before August. Isn't that tormenting?! Let's see what I got...

I blogged about this skirt before here and was so lucky to find it in the Sale finally! The initial inspiration was Nathalies first outfit on Lookbook! =) It is a true princess skirt^^.

This whool dress was so gorgeous in the catalogue... trying it on was very disappointing! The fabric is very thin and cheap and it did not meet my exspectations at all. I sent it back instantly!

Same for this black romper. I was convinced that it would be a must-keep, but it totally wasn't. It did not fit me at all and the fabric felt like plastik on my skin... so sad =( Now I am still searching for a better one. Got also back to H&M!

This sweet cardigan (I got a discount of 25% on it, yay) is from the Modern Classics Collection! I bought it for work^^!! I love it. I'll just wear a black top underneath that. Can't wait until it's within my reach again!

Here's the cardigan in the catalogue. The Garden Collection or the Sonia Rykiel could not win my heart, but I love nearly all the pieces from the Modern Classics pages!! More, please! You can read my advice on business outfits here (Fashion Rules for the Successful Business Woman). Oops, I just realized that the cardigan is actually in that post also...XD.

I bought these navy blue sailor shoes for Israel and I am happy that they are really useful here. At the beginning they were a little too small and one of my feet bleeded a little, but now they are worn in and it's fine. So, at least I have something of the new arrivals with me!^^

A song for you:

See you all soon again, XoXo (Kisses and Hugs)

Ready for a New Look?

Paris, J'adore!

This Online Shop was fairly a surprise. New Look is one of the big British fashion companys that bloggers are hyping (now including me...). There are a few pieces which caught my eye and I'll share them with you to provide some inspiration! (Another desperate attempt to cure my shopping blues here, lol). I like the amount of clothes available in every category at New Look... Asos for example bothers me, because it takes you hours or more than an evening to see half of their products. Please enjoy and let me now your favourites!

This butterfly watch is perfect!

I want this roses backpack!!! Desperately!!

Another pair of dream shoes - sheer eye candy!

~

Now some fun: I am going to scream when I see the first fashion blogger wearing this:

Is this for real?!

Now we are going to the supermarket to buy some stuff for dinner. I am tired and hungry! I wish everyone a great Sunday (work starts again tomorrow here).
Love,

9 Items to Instant-Wow up your Wardrobe

Summer Party.

Evening Bliss.

Shoe Heaven.

The secret to a stunning closet are some wow-accessoires and key pieces. Some apricot heels with bugs? Or maybe a flowerprint jumpsuit or a thin lace cardigan? Here are Lilly's best picks from our favourite British stores and also shoe picks from Görtz. The jumpsuit (Collage 1) is actually the second flowerprint piece I like this year. And yeah, this is probably number three:


This dress looks really fab, I am drawn to it. Saw it in one of the H&M Spring Magazine editorials, but don't feel ready to pay 40 bucks for it...maybe I am a lucky girl and find this in Sale in a few months? Blue rose prints are rarely found though. Oh lovelies, I overslept today (if that is possible on a Sunday morning, haha) and now I am ready (am I?) to meet the chaos at home. So many things to organise and to sort out...couldn't I just have magic powers like my favourite witch Sabrina (Sorry, Hermione!)? I'll just dream of that blue dress...:D

Primark Spring 2010 Picks

Do you spot the lace blazer (left)?!!

I tried on that dress in the middle (cute)!

Luckily, I live close to one of the rare Primark stores in Germany. After I came upon that perfect white lace dress in the collage above, I decided to try to digg it up somehow. Which proved extremely difficult, as the dress was seemingly sold out already. Lucky me, I found two spare ones - one of them in my size!! Yaay. Only problem: Both of them were black as the midnight. Nevertheless, I made my choice and walked out of the store (like hours later *ehem*) with a brand-new black dress^^. (My other purchases will probably be in the next post, combined with an outfit post.)
About Primark in general, it's a pity that the average quality is rather low (as the prices are). So when I am primarking, I pick my choices very carefully to make sure that I do not end up with random purchases that stuff my wardrobe. And I would never buy shoes there! The height of all the heels were like...umm do you want to kill your customers? Another shopping tipp is going there during the week (best: early afternoon, or even before 12 a.m.) to avoid the masses. What is particularly great about Primark is the variety of jewellery and bags! I recommend that cordially. (I found myself mostly buying accessoires - despite of the lace dress of course). Did you ever shop at Primark, how did you feel about it?
Love,
