Chicago

September 26, 2013

unbenannt (1 von 5).jpg unbenannt (3 von 5).jpg unbenannt (5 von 5).jpg unbenannt (4 von 5).jpg

What I wore: H&M Skirt, Tibi Top, Zara Heels, Mytheresa PD Proenza Schouler Bag, Gorjana Necklace, Kenneth Jay Lane and Marc by Marc Bracelets, Margiela Rings, Essie California Coral, RVC, VC, SPG, mf, ts

Finally managed to update the blog! By now I have actually been home for quite some time and am currently in Moscow. 
I have to say during my road-trip this summer there was just so much happening and I wanted to fully immerse myself in the experience and not worry about taking outfit pictures and uploading them every day. 
Also when I actually came back from the US I had some troubles with my laptop and I still haven't managed to upload all the pictures we took.
Here is an outfit I wore in Chicago to go to dinner and a jazz club, it was actually quite cold, but I still decided to go for a skirt, because to me summer is a feeling and not something dictated by the weather, also we spent most of the evening inside. For fall I would top this look with a chic cape like this one by Temperely (on sale). ts, saks, nk http://bit.ly/2NtLKxJ

The Palms

June 15, 2013

unbenannt (3 von 3).jpg unbenannt (2 von 3).jpg unbenannt (1 von 3).jpg

What I wore: Zara Dress (recent), Topshop Leather Jacket, Alexander Wang Ankle Boots (love these), Reed Krakoff Bag, Maison Martin Margiela Rings, Asos Cuff

This is one of my favorite ways to dress. Cute dress toughened up with ankle boots and a leather jacket!  I recently got this Zara dress and can't wait to style it in different ways. Don't you just love the print? Gets me all excited for my American road trip this summer!
Oh the wanderlust is always strong around this time of year, and all those Instagram shots of people traveling makes studying at the end of the semester that much harder. But for now it's back to the books and googling restaurants and hard to find places in America. If you have any cool tips where to stay, eat, shop, etc I would love it if you let me know in the comments below!:)

Black and Gold

June 1, 2013

unbenannt (2 von 4).jpg unbenannt (1 von 4).jpg unbenannt (3 von 4).jpg

What I wore: Zara Dress, Topshop Leather Jacket, Asos Heels, Balenciaga Clutch (love this color), Nelly Necklace, 
Kenneth Jay Lane Bracelet, Essie Aperitif Nail Polish

I wore this look to date night, so it is a lot simpler and maybe sexier than what I normally wear. 
Not much man-repelling going on here. 
I've worn these heels countless times in real life, but for some reason they have never made it onto the blog before. I like how the simple black dress makes the gold accessories stand out, perfect for showing you those awesome shoes for the first time;) 

I also love how the clutch works so well with this look, because like the heels, it is gold with black hardware. It was actually quite the impulse purchase while I was in Dubai this winter, I sometimes can't be accounted for decisions made on holiday, but it proved to be a great buy and I've worn it so many times, for example here and here.

Easy Does It

unbenannt (1 von 6).jpg unbenannt (4 von 6).jpg unbenannt (2 von 6).jpg unbenannt (3 von 6).jpg unbenannt (5 von 6).jpg unbenannt (6 von 6).jpg

What I wore: H&M Skirt, Vince T-Shirt, Pour la Victoire Pumps, Balenciaga Clutch, Asos Earcuff, Cast of Vices and CC Skye Bracelets, American Eagle Necklace

I wore this outfit last week to one of my best friend's birthday parties, I really had no idea what to wear, so I threw on this look, which is one of my fail-safe combinations. Leather skirt + tee + some heels always works, no matter where you are going. 

On another note, tonight is the Life Ball in Vienna, it is a huge party and at the same time a fundraiser for Aids research. A lot of celebrities come every year to show their support. This year the theme is 1001 nights and the fashion show is by Roberto Cavalli. 
If you want to know more about it and see the party from behind the scenes, follow me on Instagram (@thestyledepartment) and I will keep you updated all night!

Punk

May 8, 2013

unbenannt (1 von 6).jpg unbenannt (3 von 6).jpg unbenannt (2 von 6).jpg unbenannt (4 von 6).jpg   unbenannt (5 von 6).jpg

What I wore: Zara Dress, Isabel Marant Ankle Boots, Asos Ear Cuff, Topshop Coat, Nasty Gal Oversized Clutch, 
Cheap Monday Cuff, Rebecca Minkoff Bracelet, Topshop Rings

Well, not really. But in light of yesterday's Met Gala, I want to share with you this look, that is somewhat punk-inspired. 
To be honest, it mostly goes back to the ear cuff! 
Still, I love those little things that can transform an outfit into something slightly different and give your whole look an edge. 
Case in point, this outfit: simple black dress with boots, but because of the ear cuff the studs on the ankle boots become much more visible and to let the cuff stand out, I had to tuck my hair back - so the side swept hair-do adds another layer of interest to the whole look.  

Now to the Met Gala: Who was your favorite? For me it was Sienna Miller, she looked like the cool girl everyone wants to be!

Sixties

We actually shot these pictures about a month ago, but I never got around to posting them. 
I love the whole sixties vibe from the dress and boots, so I decided to add to it with my make-up and hair. To be honest, it was a little difficult for me, because I am not really that great with putting on a full face of make up.. I am the one, those cat-eye tutorials are made for and I still struggle with it;) 
Well, I still love the outcome of the pictures, so I am happy to be finally sharing them with you! 

Happy Monday! ♥

What I wore: Motel Dress, Topshop Leather Jacket and Earrings (similar), Vanessa Bruno Boots, Diane von Fürstenberg Box Clutch, Mango Bangles and Asos Bracelet

I don't care, I love it

April 8, 2013

unbenannt (4 von 5).jpg

This line from the ubiquitous IconaPop song, describes my feeling for this blazer perfectly. It just works with everything so I will probably never take it off, but I promise you, soon there will be pictures without it. 
On the other hand, where the line from the song couldn't be further from the truth, is the snow and rain that doesn't seem to stop. While we were taking these pictures my hair got kind of wet from the sleet, you can actually see the process of my hair getting wet in the pictures. 
But on a brighter note, how amazing is the color of my new shoes?:) 

By the way, I would love for those of you who already follow me on GFC (you are amazing), and also the ones who don't, to follow my blog via Bloglovin, since GFC is shutting down!

I have to make a confession, I wore this blazer almost everyday since I got it. I can't remember how I could ever live without it, so you will see it on the blog quite often! 
I wore this outfit to the birthday party of one of my closest friends and just uploading the pictures makes me think of the super fun night we all had.
