EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW - H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection III

Wohoo, tomorrow H&M's new Conscious Exclusive Collection launches. 

Before I'm going to present you one more total look of this collection, let's talk about the idea behind the Conscious Collections. 

''H&M Conscious'' is the name for all H&M's work for a more sustainable fashion future.

Their vision is that all their operations should be run in a way that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. Their regular coordinated Conscious Collections are the forefront of fashion & sustainability. As we can see, they show very cleary that choosing ''greener'' fashion doesn't mean compromising on design or price. 

H&M wants to make more sustainable choices in fashion affordable and desirable to as many people as possible. 

The perfect location for shooting this magical dress, definitelly was pure nature.

EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW - H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection II

PRINCESS FOR ONE DAY 

 I love it when clothes totally change my mood and posture within seconds. The moment I put on this fantastic dress of the upcoming H&M Conscious Exclusive Collection (read about all the details here), I felt like a Princess, and immediately started thinking about Grace Kelly and Princess Rania, two breathtakingly beautiful women. 

Oh, and I already started thinking of upcoming occasions, to give this stunning dress a proper debut, the Vienna Awards gala, would definitely be such an occasion, but I already chose the gown for this event some weeks ago. 

And now, let's start playing princess together in our thoughts ......

FLUFFY GREY FUR & GRAFFITI

I hope you all had a wonderful start into the new year and enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. 

After spending a wonderful time with my family, I'm back with my first outfit post in this sparkling new year. 

Fluffy fur coats and vests are my number one key pieces this winter, so guess what, it was again love at first sight when I first saw this wonderful grey coat from We Love Furs.

(Check out my previous posts featuring other wonderful pieces from We Love Furs here, here and here)  

This coat has the perfect length, (as I'm quite tall (~1,80m), it might be quite short on me, though), it's super warm and fluffy and although the fur is quite frizzy, it doesn't wear out very much.

I decided to combine it with a mini flared skirt, a grey wool pullover, a classy bag and burgundy Oxford shoes, to make the whole look more fun and special.

SWEATER LOVE

Sweaters, like the one I'm wearing in this post, are very en vogue this season again. I'm a fan of Brian Lichtenberg's ''HOMIÉS'', ''FÉLINE'' etc sweaters, but actually haven't bought one yet. At the moment you can find some cool sweaters inspired by Brian Lichtenberg's famous ones at Zara.

As I don't feel super comfortable in too sporty and casual looks, I decided to pimp up this casual sweater with my fur vest from WeLoveFurs, patterned pants and a huge pearl statement necklace to make this look more special.

SPECIAL PREVIEW - ISABEL MARANT pour H&M

As I promised you in my last post some special news about the ISABEL MARANT pour H&M collection will be revealed this week, well, here they are......

I proudly present you my favorite pieces of this wonderful special collection.

For my first look I chose one of the key pieces of this collection, the wonderful embellished trophy jacket and combined it with the super cool, yet sexy and feminine leather pants. The lace shirt I'm wearing definitely also is a highlight, just as the heels are. I can tell you guys, these leather pants are so comfortable and smooth, that I didn't want to slip them off again. 

I told you before, that I'm an avid fan of Isabel Marant and love here special Parisian bohemian aesthetic, the collection represents this special style perfectly. 

Are you going to storm the shop on the 14th when the collection lands in stores?

ISABEL MARANT pour H&M

Some of us might have been crossing off the days on their calendars and now it's only less than two weeks away. No, it's not Christmas, it's the highly anticipated Isabel Marant pour H&M collection. I'm totally in love with this super cool special collection, which represents Isabel Marant's special Parisian bohemian aesthetic perfectly. 

Leather cropped trousers, an embellished trophy jacket, printed jeans, mannish outerwear, slouchy boots with fringed detailing and studded heels, the collection doesn't disappoint at all. Also don't forget to have a look at the men's collection, which definitely offers great pieces too. 

Normally cold sweat would appear on my forehead when thinking about the previous launches of H&M designer collaborations. First you have to queue for hours outside the stores in near darkness, then the ''tagging process'' starts (you get colored wristbands), before you are led into the special shopping area in the shop, where you are given around three minutes shopping time to grab your spoils. 

Wow, I'm so glad that I'm lucky enough to be invited to a Pre-Shopping event by H&M, which means, no queuing and no raging shopping madness. 

And even more news concerning this special Isabel Marant collection and THE18THDISTRICT will come up, which will be revealed next week. 

Can't wait to talk about this on Wednesday! 

Meanwhile, start making your wishlist now, before the collection lands in stores on the 14th of November. 

So, to help you, here are my personal top picks from the ladies-wear range.

VIENNA FASHION WEEK OUTFIT #2 by KATRIN KAFKA

I actually wore this outfit in a different combination at Vienna Fashion Week, but as the pictures taken there aren't the best, I decided to take some new pictures for this post.
On the second day of Vienna Fashion Week, I wore this wonderful design by KATRIN KAFKA, my favorite austrian designer. I decided to pimp up this rather classy combination with edgy transparent boots, sunnies and a very special earring.
Thank you Katrin for making me look good in your wonderful dress and trench coat!!!

ONE POST - MANY TRENDS

One of this season's trends is the combination of black & white. 

Do we always have to follow trends? Well, that's the question ...... ;) 

Normally I'd answer... no, I don't need to follow each and every trend. I actually only follow trends that I really like and feel confident wearing. This season there are quite a lot of trends I really like, so why not combine them in one look ? And that's exactly what I did ...

I matched a black & white striped blouse with a translucent bag, sporty leather shorts, mirrored sunglasses and (to top it all off) studded chucks.

KISS ME TIGER

 Finally a new outfit post. 

Some of my followers on Instagram might have seen one of these picture already. I chose this outfit for dinner a few day ago, this post is the proof that I'm really a blogger from the bottom of my heart, as we took the pictures for this post after a tough training and a 22.5 km run. 

***special thanks to my boyfriend for taking the pictures and supporting me <3 

Well, that's also the cue to talk about the fitness section of my blog. In the past few weeks I received a lot of emails and comments of people asking me about my diet, training, how I stay in shape, and stating that it would be great if I could share my workout routine and recipes. 

As you might have noticed already, I'm a fitness freak and couldn't live without my workouts. A healthy lifestyle, including workouts and healthy food are the essentials for a better living, for me.

You are what you eat and you have a choice of what you are made of ;) 

I'm going to start my fitness section with regular updates on my diet, workouts and healthy yummy recipes. As summer is here and we all want to look fit and feel confident on the beach, I'm planning to share short fitness videos with special toning exercises. 

Hope you are going to like that part of my blog - starting soon ;)

woman.at PARTY

A few weeks ago I attended a party of Austria's top woman & lifestyle magazine, WOMAN, ( as my followers on Instagram might have noticed ), but I totally forgot to blog about this event. They launched their newly designed homepage and for that reason organized a wonderful party. 

Thank you for the invitation! 

So, finally here is the outfit I chose for that occasion.

BE HAPPY FOR NO REASON ....

"Be happy for no reason, like a child. 

If you are happy for a reason, 

you're in trouble,

 because that reason can be taken from you."

I wanted to take photos with balloons since I started the blog, and now eventually here is my eagerly awaited romantic post with balloons;) 

PS: I wore this dress for the first time nearly exactly one year ago, on my birthday - have a look at this post - here .

MY BOYFRIEND'S SHIRT

I think we all know these days, when we are standing in front of our completely full closet and honestly don't know what to wear. Normally that's the point when I have a look into M's closet and find a lot of pretty cool clothes to mix and match with mine. That's what I did yesterday, I stole one of his shirts and a matching silk scarf and changed it into a long blouse for me.

 ET VOILÀ ;)

Do you like the outcome ?

FLOWER CROWN

I think every little girl dreams about wearing a flower crown and sometimes big girls dream of that too ;)

This flower crown made me feel as if I'm a little girl again running through the fields picking flowers. 

Well, I think I'm not gonna wear this flower crown on a daily basis and I may be wearing it at home more often, just to make things a bit more whimsical. Flower crowns definitely make things more fun.

While trying on this flower crown for the first time, the lyrics from ''After the Storm'' by Mumford and Sons immediately crossed my mind, the lyrics go : ''....... And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair."

ZEBRA SKIRT

As straw bags seem to be very trendy this summer, I resurrected this Marc O'Polo bag. I wore it in combination with a new zebra-printed skirt, a simple t-shirt and my favourite sandals.

CREAMY OUTFIT

I finally found some grey-beige trousers that perfectly fit and even better, I found them at ZARA ;) They've got an amazing ornament-pattern and they feel really pleasant next to the skin. I wore them in a very easy combination with a light-beige t-shirt and a neon-orange bracelet. I love to pair statement necklaces or bracelets with easy outfits.
