Pic of the week

For a happy and nice summer I thought an inspiring or just beautiful picture a week could be great. The picture could be motivating, making happy or just make you smile.
Please let me know if you want me to describe the photo or just without any topic that everyone can think something different about it.
So let's jump in!

The IT Running Shoe for Summer!

To get fit for summer one of the biggest motivation is a nice training outfit! Especially running shoes can be a real eye-catcher. But how terrible is it when you go running and your shoes feel like stones? No worry! There are the Nike Frees! A running shoe that is super comfortable and light, you won't sweat and you can also wear the barefoot because they are special crfted in the inner! So light up your running-summer with some colorful Nike Frees!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

But: Have a nice summer  and happy 4th of july!

For the second Capsule Collection of the popular italian designer Giorgio Armani Rihanna was chosen as designer. Main parts are american skinny jeans mixed with vintage and glamor.

Rihanna also is the model of both collections.

Georgio Armani Olympic Collection Team Italy

It's the dream of lots of women and girls to own a piece of Georgio Armani. For the fashion interested athletes of the italian national team of the olympics a dream come true. Armani designed the howl sportswear for the team and didn't saved anything. The italian national hymn is printed in little letters on the shirts or the first few word in the inner. Main colors are black, white, gold and of course green and red. Under the 50 pieces are running shoes, shirts, pants and suitcases. His collection will be one of the most fashionable ones competed with the british one, designed by Stella McCartney (read this here ).

Tom Sachs for Nikecraft Capsule Collection

When an artist designs a collection for a fashion label, you can be sure that it'll be something new and something really different. Artists are very creative and that is what the collection reflects. So, Tom Sachs designed the new Nikecraft Capsule Collection with the theme "Space program: Mars". A fashionable connection between science, art and fashion with a periodic system printed on trenchcoats and a "Mars Yard"-sneaker with extra resistant shoelace. The howl collection was presented together with the art of Tom Sachs in the Armory Park Avenue Space in New York City.
Let the adventure begin!

Review: Essie Orange it's obvious nailpolish

I also wanted some really bright and shiny nailpolishes for spring and ended up with a intense orange by Essie. The color is calles "Orange it's obvious" and is a non shimmering orangy-red nailpolish. One coat reachs perfectly for having a good result. I like to add a topcoat because it let the orange look much more shiny. For me it's a perfect nailpolish what you should were with something white and orange accessoires.

Scotch & Sonda Capsule Collection

"New York meets Europe" and that all in white, is what the image of the new Sctoch & Soda Capsule Collection called "Été Blanc, les pièces Blanches" seems to be. White is not boring! One of the trend colors of this century was combined in every kind of style: as simple t-shirt, with lace or as boyfriendshirt. The netherland brand definitely showed how different white can be. Shooted in New York by Benny Horne the howl collection was presented by Jessica Hart.

Prepare for summer!
A good way to prepare for summer, especially the sun is to eat lots of carrots, which are rich of carrotin, a pre-step of melatonin, which get you tanned. Also eat fruits with antioxidants (red and purple fruits like a blueberries, cherries and strawberries), because they help your skin to build up your natural sun protection! Have a nice summer!

H&M swimmwear campaign summer 2012

I think you already have seen the H&M bikini campaign for this summer. Skinny, tanned models in colorful bikinis in the water. Sounds like a normal campaign but wait! Have you seen HOW tanned this girls are? Dermatologist already warn: This girls definitely have to much tan. To be that tanne and also have light brown or blond hairs is unhealthy and really bad for your skin. Lying to much in the sun and get sun burned increase the risk to get skin cancer. It also let you get wrinkles and bad skin. Much more bad is to visit the solarium regularly because the high concetration of rays is simply dangerous, especially if you have light skin and/or blond or red hairs.

I think this campaign isn't good. In a way that just isn't a natural tan what we want to see on models. Lots of young girls also want to look like them and maybe risk their own health!

Take a sun bath just when you got sunscreen on. Avoid the intense noon-sun and go to the shade, there you also get tanned!

Model is Isabeli Fontana.

Trend: blazer

Sometimes when you go out for shopping or for dinner you just feel that your outfit is a little bit boring and not dressy enough. This season gives us a wonderful way to dress up your every-day outfit! Already known in the business-zone, the classic blazer turned to an everyday fashion essential. It's an easy way to just give your outfit a special touch and you just look more fashionable. Take a black or dark blue blazer for dinner, a hot pink blazer over a white maxi-dress and a white blazer to a nude button-down with a baby pink jeans. This season also pastel ones are a must have and cheer up every white shirt!

I'm on vacation!

Hey guys,
tomorrow i'm flying to Rio de Janeiro and just wanted to announce that i'm not here. But i pre-wrote some post so that you don't get bored!
Thank you you are all amazing!

The models wore a colorful make-up with aristocratic bobs in violet, baby pink, black, blondy green and grey.

Tuesdaybeauty: Face Mask

Doing a face mask at your home is very simple and even better than drugstore products.

Face mask for normal/dry skin:
3 spoons greek yogurt
1 spoon honey

mix everything and let it on for 15 minutes than wash it up!

What to add for:
big pores: 1 teaspoon lemon juice

pimples: 1 teaspoon yeast

tired skin: 1 spoon mashed cucumber

super dry skin: 1 spoon mashed avocado

TIP: When you have more oily skin use non-fat yogurt when you have dry skin use yogurt with high fat content.

Review: Essie Mint Candy Apple nailpolish

A nailpolish review fits brilliant in spring when it's a super cute pastel color! I bought Essie's "Mint Candy Apple" awhile ago after i saw it in some magazines and falled in love with this cute minty-blue color. Applying it is very easy and just takes you one or two shifts (depends on how intense you want the color) and adding a topcoat let the color even more shine. All in one, this is a brilliant nail polish without shimmer and super cool to this seasons trends!

Longchamp Campaign with Coco Rocha

Fun in Manhattan definitely had Coco Rocha and Liisa Winkler while producing the new spring campaign for Longchamp. Captured by Dane Shitagi, the girls did a fantastic job with dog, bags and high heels.
Let's take a look:

Seen was the classic "Le Pliage Bag" in new prints and some brand new bags!

Trend to go: Cropped Colored Jeans

The top essential of this season are pastel colors and lace. The perfect look made with Jeans and shirt is hard to create fashionable without jewelery, scarfs and cute haistyles. BUT, there is a way! A cropped colored jeans  (available at J. Crew, Zara, Urban Outfitters)   in a pastel or hot pink (so IN this season) with a cute lace shirt or a button-down. My favorite is: below: Color above: white or nude
Wear with a statement necklace and ballerinas, for something fancy with Chelsea boots.

A TOP perfume!

I just found one super nice perfume. The smell is fantastic and not so mainstream. It's something really special and great. I talk about Gucci Flora in Gracious Tuberose. It has a super flowery sent but not rosy. The smell is about a fresh Tuberose and Jasmine. With time a great still flowery but more classic sent develops.
One of my top fragrances for spring!

Cute candles! You have an old tea cup that doesn't really fits to the rest but you think it's to cute to throw it away? Than here is the perfect idea:
You need:
-a candle in your chosen color
-a tea cup
Half the candle and take out the wick. Than warm up the wax until it's melted. Put the liquid wax in the candle and than put the wick in it. Let it dry and here we go!
