Fashion details ....



Prefer some subtlety?

Try a few technicolour flourishes instead. We adore the floral peplum on J-Law´s crisp Dior LWD
(little white dress) , while Marion Cotilard tricks the eye in body-slimming panels.

WHAT TO WEAR TO A "Grigliata Weekend"

BBQs are one of the best parts of summer and with the official kick off this weekend, I’m deciding what to wear for our Memorial Day festivities. BBQ outfits need to be casual so a few go-to essentials like asundress for summer, swimsuit and sandals are really all we need. Here are three summer BBQ outfits perfect for any plans, from your backyard to a day at the beach (I’m leaning towards the maxi dress!).

Summer's latest trend: Masked balls

Cecil Beaton was appalled when he discovered that Truman Capote was planning one in the summer of 1966. "What is Truman trying to prove?" he wrote testily in his tell-all diary. "The foolishness of spending so much time organising the party is something for a younger man or a worthless woman to indulge in, if they have social ambitions."





"The only people I can't recognise are those with their masks off," remarked Frank Sinatra to the marvellously named Suzy Knickerbocker, The Washington Post' s gossip columnist, as they surveyed the scene at Capote's ball.

So what do we learn from The Week Of Two Masked Balls? That even now, most people love an excuse to dress up .

Sag es durch die Blume

Schon im 18. Jahrhundert nutzte man Blumen  zur heimlichen Kommunikation .

Welche Botschaft in Ihrem Brautstrauß steckt, lest ihr hier:

Rose: Die Königin der Blume in der Farbe Rot symbolisiert Liebe, Rosa bedeutet Jugend,
          Weiß wiederum Unschuld und Treue


Lilie: Insbesondere die weisse Sorte symbolisiert Licht und daut Reinheit

Calla: Früher stand die Blume für Unsterblichkeit später wurde ihre Botschaft
          " Du bist zauberhaft schön"

Tulpe: In der Blumensprache steht Sie für Liebe und Zuneigung. Es heisst je dunkler,
           desto intensiver die Gefühle

Vergissmeinnicht: Wie der Name schon sagt, sollende Blumen dran erinnern, den Angetrauten
                              niemals zu vergessen und außerdem steht sie für die wahre Liebe

Freesie: Wegen ihrer frischen Farben und viele Knospen stehen sie vor allem für Zärtlichkeit
              und romantische Komplimente

Maiglöckchen: die süß duftenden Glöckchen sind Sinnbild für die erwachende Liebe....




Weiss noch jemand, von wem das der Brautstrauß war??

BEAUTY BENEFITS OF AVOCADO

A natural and effective way to get gorgeous skin and hair, avocados give your body a much needed boost without the addition of chemicals. Avocado oil has been used for many years in many beauty products like shampoo, conditioner, lotions and facial masks. Rich with essential vitamins and nutrients, the beauty benefits of avocado are countless. If you’re thinking of adding avocado to your daily beauty routine, check out this list of the beauty benefits of avocado and let me know what you think!




  1. Gorgeous glowing skin. The vitamin A in avocados helps to remove dead skin cells, while the amino acids protect your skin from environmental damage.
  2. Natural sunscreen. The oil from avocados can be used to protect your hair and your skin from UV damage.
  3. Prevents wrinkles. Avocados are filled with antioxidants, preventing aging before it starts.
  4. Super soft skin. When added to a lotion, avocado is easy for the skin to absorb. The oil in avocado helps get to the root of dry skin, leaving you totally moisturized.
  5. Beautiful shiny hair. Avocado oil is a great conditioner, leaving hair silky and shiny.
Have you tried avocado as part of your beauty routine?

Heiraten im Paradies

 Das Beste zum Schluss: Jetzt geht es in die Flitterwochen!

Aber vielleicht möchten Sie sich ja auch lieber gleich an einem dieser romantischen Orte trauen lassen......

Hier meine Tipps auf die Ihr achten solltet:

Jedes Land hat eigene Richtlinien. Sobald das Wunschziel für eine Hochzeit feststeht, geht es ans Organisieren. Jets Lag benötigt einen bestimmten Satz an Unterlagen, die teilweise auch zuvor übersetzt und beglaubigt werden müssen. Deswegen unbedingt Zeit und Kosten einplanen.

Nachträglich die Heirat im eigenen Land registrieren lassen, denn die im Ausland geschlossenen Ehe muss im eigenen Land immer amtlich nachgetragen werden.

Ausnahme: möchte man in einem muslimischen Land heiraten, dazu gehören z.B. auch die Malediven, wird die Ehe in vielen katholischen  Ländern nicht anerkannt, da es sich um keine n üblicher Form der Eheschließung handelt: dann muss man nach der Rückkehr noch mal das Aufgebot bestellen.

...so und jetzt drei traumhafte  Anregungen von mir  , wo ihr Euren schönsten Tag des Lebens verbringen könntet:


HAWAII - Big Island Fairmont Orchid-Resort 



MAURITIUS - The Residence




LAS VEAGAS - Bellagio 


Lasst mich wissen, wo ihr gelandet seid - freue mich über Eure Feedbacks!!!!!!!

ON THE JOB - OUTFIT INSPIRATION


Today’s blogs are all about being on the job. Even if you work from home, you still need to ace the interview and that means putting together the perfect look from head to toe. When it comes to interview outfits for women, I will always believe that being overdressed is better than underdressed, however sticking out from company culture could be a strike against you.
It should look like you put in the extra effort when it comes to your outfits for interviews but that you will still fit in with other employees and that you will properly dress to reflect your position. Want to score a job in the fashion and beauty industry? Make sure you know how to rock a current trend that is flattering. Want an executive position? A crisp, perfectly tailored suit, feminine blouse and simple hair shows your commitment.



Tell me your best interview outfit in the comments – I can’t wait to read these!

Top of the crops


Double up on those Pilates classes: the midriff has taken over from the side boob as the anatomy to flash.

Diane Kruger does it demurely in a cut-off, crisp shirt, Doutzen Kroes displays model abs in stripes,
while Bar Refaeli strikes out in scarlet.....
