PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY MAKE-UP AND PHOTO SHOOT WITH DOUGLAS

MAKE UP AND PHOTO SHOOT WITH DOUGLAS

A couple of years ago I participated in one of these professional make up and photoshoot events and although the photos turned out really nice, I always thought "I don't look like that!" I actually never used those photos on social media as I felt nobody will recognise me in real life ;-)
However, last year I very much enjoyed my make-up and styling event with designer Thomas Rath for QVC's Insider magazine - see my post and photos of the event here.

WHITE AND NUDE SPRING LOOK WITH A LONG VEST

WHITE SPRING LOOK WITH A LONG SLEEVELESS VEST

Spring and early summer, my favourite time of the year - by far! You can literally watch the nature bringing out lots of new shades of fresh green every day. Since we took these photos, it even looks a lot greener and lusher!

Finally I can wear white again - not only white blouses or tops but complete looks in white. I know there is no limitation but "winterwhite" is not really an option here in our climate. During the colder season I tend to go for creme and beige but wear dark trousers out of practical reasons. White remains a summer colour for me and I love pairing it with nude tones. I have already shown you my sleevelest vest with a black look here. Today it is a summer version and I am so happy about this purchase from H&M as the quality is really good which even my seamstress confirmed when I showed it to her recently.

NEUTROGENA 10 TAGE-FASZIEN-PILATES-CHALLENGE

NEUTROGENA 10 DAYS-FASCIA-PILATES-CHALLENGE *

If you follow me on Instagram you know I started running again in order to get active and fit. At 52, I notice a change of my body and a lack of agility especially caused by my deskwork (and a lot of hours doing blogwork at night don't help either...) I eat healthy and have changed to a vegetarian nutrition 1,5 years ago but too often I found excuses for skipping the gym. Actually there is no excuse as great running trails literally start in front of my house. But I have also noticed that I need to pay more attention to stretching exercises before and after a run.

ELEGANT EDGY PARTY LOOK IN LEATHER LEGGINGS

ELEGANT PARTY LOOK IN FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS

How do you dress for a party in spring when the weather is cool and rainy, a summery maxi dress isn't quite appropriate and a Little Black Dress is too formal?

That's what I was facing last week and went for my favourite faux leather leggings and paired them with a printed sleeveless top. Sometimes during the evening I wanted to get some fresh air or sat by the fireplace outside. Then I threw on my blazer - and also took my woolen cape which is always a cosy yet stylish way to stay warm (shown here).

ZARA MIDI SKIRT AND BOHO STATEMENT NECKLACE

ASYMMETRIC MIDI SKIRT AND A STATEMENT NECKLACE

I love to mix styles but I am not a fan of asymmetry at all. My zodiac sign is libra and for me that means I feel uncomfortable when things are out of balance. I was looking for a midi skirt for quite a while; not a tight pencil skirt but something fuller. On the other hand it shouldn't be too wide around my hips... quite a challenge! Then I saw this black and white Zara skirt with nude side parts and was quite keen on it - until I realised it had an asymmetric cut!! I was thinking of taking it to my seamstress and have it altered. On the other hand, I like the longer length, so I will give it some time and then reconsider.
