Christmas shopping in Zurich is one of my favourite traditions. Everything is decorated, there are millions of little lights everywhere and restaurants where I love drinking a hot chocolate. However, Zurich also offers a lot of different clothes, shoes etc. It's the fashion capital of Switzerland. So it's no surprise that the best place to look for Jeffrey Campbell shoes is this city.

To make a long story short: I saw the black Litas, fell in love, tried them on (sooo comfortable), fell in love again and bought them. And they lived happily ever after ♥

As I said before, I'm going to New Zealand tonight. Unfortunately, I don't have a notebook and I won't be able to post a lot (maybe my next post is going to be in January). If you want me to keep you updated, visit my Twitter and follow me!

I miss blogging already! Goodbye girls and boys, see you soon (hopefully the plane doesn't crash. I'm really afraid of flying...) Enjoy the Apocalypse, Merry Christmas and  Happy New Year!

You remember the Victoria's Secret bikini I got from my boyfriend, right? Now I possess the matching make up kit. No, I'm not rich, but my mother and my sister went to New York for a couple of days. My lovely sister won the golden ticket to visit One Direction (she had to change their new album cover into something that represents Switzerland). They had the opportunity to go to One Direction's show in Madison Square Garden and to meet and greet them in a secret place, together with other golden ticket winners from all around the world. Congratulations and I'm proud of you!

Anyway, my mother and my sister bought me the amazing Bombshell make up kit by Victoria's Secret. Thank you so much ♥! I especially love the primer, the pink blush and the sweet perfume. Everything else is amazing, too.

Enjoy the pictures and have a good start into a new week!

Look what a cute Christmas present I got from my boyfriend! ♥ I was so excited when I opened it. I have never before shopped at Victoria's Secret. The pink box is just perfect, as well as my new bikini. Thank you so much! ♥

If you wonder why I need a bikini when there's snow outside: I will be spending Christmas in New Zealand, probably somewhere at the beach (strange but exciting at the same time).

I wish you a nice week and take care :)

I don't know how I came up with this title. I just thought it would fit this outfit. The pumps and the skirt are cute and the fake fur always reminds me of Russian women.  And: there's snow outside right now, of course. That's my interpretation of a modern Snow White Look. What does Snow White look like in your imagination? Click on "read more" to see more pictures of the outfit.

OMG, I'm so excited! It's snowing outside. It looks so pretty! I'm glad that I see some snow before leaving to New Zealand in the middle of December. 

Anyway, today I want to show you my favourite TV shows. Please don't be shocked: some of them are kind of stupid, but I like them nonetheless because they are funny at the same time. Let's get started!

Gossip Girl

I'm addicted since I've seen it back in 2009 or so. A new scandal behind every corner, new gossip everyday. However, the best thing are surely the clothes they wear. I love Serena's style! It's such a pity that season 6 is the last one. Hopefully they'll find Gossip Girl.

It's not a big secret that I love H&M. So when I was in Zurich and in St.Gallen last week, I enjoyed myself and bought some things. Unfortunately, H&M in Wil is not really that great and that's why I prefer the ones in Zurich, St.Gallen and Winterthur.

I bought a lot of lace pieces. I just adore lace, it's so elegant and feminine. I'm also in love with darker reds and bordeaux (oxblood isn't such a nice term). Another key item of my style are skirts. I don't know why, but I think when I'm wearing pants I look chubby...  So that's basically what I got for myself.

Enjoy your day, even though it's Monday.

Children get their candy on halloween, I got mine yesterday in Zurich. It was love at first sight when I saw her on H&M's website. I was really excited to meet her. Although I wasn't sure if she would turn up. However, there she was: all pink and shimmery. I hugged her and took her home.

That's the story of how I met and bought my Candy Clutch. Enjoy the pictures of this gorgeous piece!

XoXo S

I didn't take a picture of my outfit, but I'm going to wear it again and take pictures then. Honestly, I've never seen so many fashionistas and hipsters in one place. So many girls were wearing at least two rings, lace tops and bracelets. 

Florence looked gorgeous herself in her maxi dress and performing barefoot. However, I've got to admit that I liked her performance at the OpenAir St.Gallen more. Nonetheless, she was fantastic yesterday!

I got one more video from the OpenAir were she stands like literally two meters in front of me. Do you want to see that as well?

Enjoy your evening! XoXo S

I get really happy when I go to a shop and leave with a nice piece of clothing, delicous food or gorgeous shoes in my bag. It's like a bought a gift for myself. So I decided that it's time to do that again. Boohoo is an online shop that I discovered long ago and recently I found it again. They have amazing stuff and so I ordered two pieces: a beautiful flower skirt and a moustache shirt. I was really happy with the whole process of ordering and getting my parcel. They even put in a little catalogue of their christmas collection. I love it! I took some pictures of the unpacking.  Click on "read more" to have a look at them!

Tonight's the big night: I'm so glad that we have tickets to see Florence + the Machine live. I hope I can take some pictures for you guys. 

I'd like to thank you for reading my blog and feel free to leave a comment.

Some people say that Florence looks really old. Of course she doesn't look like a little girl, but I love her face. She always reminds me of an ancient goddess (and check out her legs, amazing!). Just before her concert in St.Gallen I said to my friends: I bet she's wearing some kind of hippie dress and she's going to perform barefoot. And it really turned out that I was right. 

I love that bohemian touch of her outfits. However, sometimes she's more of a rock chick but then again Florence is an elegant lady on the red carpet. I can identify myself really really good with her style. 

I'm so excited to see what she'll be wearing on Wednesday in Winterthur. It's going to be one of the best concerts ever, I'm sure about that!

Enjoy the day and see you tomorrow guys. Check my twitter for some random updates during the day!

One of the best concerts I've been to was definitely happening last June. Florence + the Machine were my personal highlight of this year's Openair St.Gallen. Their albums are fantastic, but they are even better live. I'm in love with the harp combined with Florence Welch's beautiful voice. I was literally crying during the whole concert. Her songs never fail to touch me. Sometimes they make me really happy and in other moments of my life they bring me down, make me cry and then lift me up again.

I want to show you some of my favourite songs of the band. There are more of course (for example "only if for a night" or "strangeness and charm"), but they don't have a video yet.

I hope you enjoy those songs as much as I do! Click on "read more" to see the whole post.

Going to Zurich in December to do some Christmas shopping is a tradition for me. This year I really want to find perfect pieces for my wardrobe, so I made a shopping list. I'm going to show you potential candidates. Since I found so many great things, I'll do this in two parts. 

Part 1 contains:

I put a link on every picture, so you can easily check out every piece. By the way: I like to have such a huge amount of possibilities, because often the pieces are not in store or they don't look as good as on the internet.

The new Limited Edition by Catrice is called SpectaculART. The most amazing thing about those products is surely the packaging. It's done gorgeously with a lot of golden details. The quality of Catrice products is always good and the best thing: everything is really affordable!

I bought four products out of this limited edition: the highlighting powder, the eyeliner, an eyeshadow and a lipstick. Unfortunately, the lipstick only glitters and doesn't really put any colour onto the lips. However, I still think that this line is amazing.

If you can buy Catrice in your country, you should definitely try and get some of their products. If you want to see more pictures, click on "read more" down below.

That's what I sometimes think when I'm walking through the streets or get on the bus. Last friday for example: As you might have read, I went to Zurich to eat at Restaurant Hiltl. I wanted to dress a little crazy and extraordinary, since I'm not in Zurich everyday. So I wore a skirt, my boots, some jewellery and my fake fur vest (you remember that outfit, right?). So I entered the bus, got my ticket and sat down. Those are usually my favourite 20 seconds of a journey. Everyone gets quiet, stares at me and then starts talking to their friends again. I would love to read people's minds during these 20 seconds.

Here some possible thoughts:

• Dafuq is wrong with you girl?
• Really?
• That's what young people wear nowadays?
• Wow, this looks gorgeous!
• Eww...
• I love your bag ♥

Sometimes I wish I'd live in London or Paris or Barcelona. Not because I hate Switzerland and not because there are a lot of fashionable people in big cities, but because people don't really look at you in a weird way when you're dressed up (my experience shows that at least) and they don't give a fuck about you.

What I want to say with this article is that nobody has to like me our my outfit. I understand if someone hates my outfits. They are kind of special sometimes. However, everyone always wants respect and tolerance. I tolerate everyone. I don't judge people's clothes. This might sound strange since I love fashion and everything around it, but like I said: I like it, not everyone has to like it.

However, show some tolerance in every situation of your life. Be kind to other people and don't judge people on the basis of their look. Smile at them. What goes around comes around. That's what some people in Switzerland don't understand I think.

Have you experienced similar things? Or do you think that my point of view is completely wrong?

I guess everyone knows my "Fashion Against Aids" Skirt, because I never got tired to show it to you guys. I loved the whole collection because of the aztec print. It's a little bit "hipsterish", but combined with a white blouse and pretty high heels you can add a touch of elegance. Surfing through the internet, I found some amazing pieces with aztec print. I started a new board on pinterest and I'm going to add more and more dresses, skirts etc. In case you find a nice piece, send me the link so I can have a look at it and maybe I'm going to pin it onto my board. Just click here if you want to see it.

Zurich is not only a gorgeous city, there are also a lot of places that offer amazing food. Our first stop was the Lindt & Sprüngli shop. We bought the beloved and famous Luxemburgerli, a must when you are in Zurich.

However, the reason we went to Zurich was Restaurant Hiltl. It's a place where you can only order vegetarian or vegan food. My boyfriend and me ate there for the second time. This time, we sat downstairs. I personally think that this part of the restaurant is even prettier than the one upstairs.

We decided to order the Red Thai Curry, the Mushroom Penne and of course the housemade Ice Tea. Everything was amazing, as well as the service. The staff is really friendly and fast. For dessert, we had the Panna Cotta.
All in all I can say that our second visit was even greater than the first one. I love the atmosphere, the interior design and the food.

 

After the visit, we tried to do a little shooting in the streets of Zurich, but we failed miserably. However, I have two pictures of the outfit. I guess I'll wear that outfit again and make some more pictures. I called this look "Oxbloody Fantastic".

 

I hope you like the post anyway. XoXo S

 

 

 

 

I love this "lamp"! Do you see the green writing in the background? Those are tweets that are connected to Restaurant Hiltl. How cool is that?

And this is the pattern of the sofa I sat on. Isn't it gorgeous?

Every fashionista has her personal wishlist. Some want a Louis Vuitton bag, others the new dress they saw at H&M. So I wanted to visualise my wishlist. However, since I am really creative (just kidding) I call these posts on my blog "WOW posts". This weeks WOW post is all about Zara.

I went through the whole Zara online store and found some pretty amazing pieces. I feel like Zara's designer got a lot of their inspiration from Dolce & Gabbana. Their collection involves a lot of black mixed with gold. I love that! 

Be prepared for moreWOW posts! And don't forget to write me an e-mail if you have any questions, remarks or tips!

I don't know where to start right now. During the last weeks, I did not have a lot of motivation to post anything here on the blog and there are different reasons for that. When I have a look at other blogs, I feel like a loser. My pictures aren't as good as theirs, I don't have as many clothes, I don't go to a different restaurant or event every day, I don't have blonde hair and I don't look like a model. Another big problem is that I don't have a photographer who could take pictures every day.

What I'm trying to say is that I'd love to be a pretty, stylish and successful blogger, but there are so many out there already. Sometimes I just feel like I'm not a blogger, I don't fit into this scene, although I love fashion, travelling etc.

However, I'm really going to try to be a good blogger for my readers (if there are some who read my blog on a regular basis) and also for myself, because I want to acheive something in my life (a career in fashion is my dream).

So let's try and do this! Yesterday, I went to a Casino for the first time. I was really excited and spent almost all afternoon getting ready. I even bought a dress especially for this occasion! And all I can say now is that I was hopelessly overdressed. Story of my life! However, my mantra is "better be overdressed, than underdressed". Here is my outfit (shot in our hallway, because I wasnt sure if taking pictures in the Casino is allowed...).

Dress, Accessories, Clutch, Shoes - H&M

Earrings - Claire's

I also want to show you the products that I use for my foundation routine and my favourite eye shadows at the moment.

The palettes are by essence (sun club 02 long beach), cover girl (exacteyelights for green eyes) and, again, essence (05 to die for). I love that the colours are really combinable.

Tomorrow, my boyfriend and I are going to eat at Restaurant Hiltl in Zurich once again. I'm really looking forward and not just to eating, but also to my outfit, which I think is amazing. I hope to see some fashionable people in Zurich, since the "Fashion Days" are taking place this week. So sad I can't be there... I read that Kristina from Kayture is attending it would be amazing if I would meet her (that will probably not happen, but anyways).

Sorry for the huge amount of text, I just wanted to tell you guys about what's going on in my life. See you soon with a new post on food and fashion.

That's the title of a song by amazing Ellie Goulding. I took it as a title for this post, because I don't know whether people are going to like my outfit or not. Additionally, I edited the pictures in a special way that I like to call "the Instagram effect". Every Instagram user knows what I'm talking about. I'm sorry for the silly duck in the background and that on some pictures you are not able to see my face (maybe some of you will like that...) - I underestimated the power of the sunlight and I had to take all the pictures on my own with my old camera.

Now enjoy the pictures and the song by Ellie Goulding (she seems to like Instagram as well!).
