In fairy tales.

These pictures were (and still are) supposed to be used for a creative project we are currently working on, but to be honest, I just couldn’t keep them to myself any longer. I just had to share them with you before everything is finished, but of course I do promise you will get to see the outcome of our project as soon as it’s ready!

Once again I have to thank my amazing boyfriend for capturing my ideas and concepts in his amazing photography. All this wouldn’t be possible without him ♥all pictures by Florian Topf

Jumpsuit x leather jacket.

Sabrina — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:22:20 +0000

If there’s one thing I really couldn’t live without this spring, it’s this jacket.

So, combining my love for this jacket with my undying love for jumpsuits made for an easy and laid back weekend outfit. Hope you like it, lovelies! ♥

Daytime sparkle.

Sabrina — Fri, 17 May 2013 07:21:37 +0000

Even though wearing sequins in the daytime is an activity widely associated with the winter months, yesterday just felt like the perfect day for a little rock star glam. And I wanted to take these pants out for a spin one last time before saying goodbye.

I really love them, but their quality is crap. And crap is still a very kind word to describe them. Sequins came falling off from the first second I put them on and by now they even have several holes. And it’s not like I’ve been doing anything particularly straining. Unless the target audience the guys at Zara had in mind when they made these pants was someone merely standing around all day. And I guess even then the sequins would fall off.
Nonetheless, I was compared to a mermaid, which I thought was pretty cute! ♥

Industrial.

We shot these pictures near the town I grew up in, which is a very beautiful place except for this old power plant, that has been out of order for years and years and now they’re finally tearing it down. Its ugliness has been so dominant within the landscape that, at least for me, there’s certainly some sentimental value to it (I’m not sure if I’m going to miss it, though). Just in case anyone’s interested, here is a short video so you can convince yourself of the amazing ugliness. ;)

The dress I’m wearing is another one I got with the 50% off for new customers at Tobi. I’ve been browsing around their shop again yesterday and have to take back what i said here. There are lots and lots of amazing dresses online now and I was very tempted to order again. But don’t worry, I resisted – we still need to book our flights to Berlin, a trip I just can’t wait for! ♥all pictures by Florian Topf

Black dress.

Sabrina — Mon, 13 May 2013 06:45:00 +0000

There’s this hour in the day when the lighting at our bedroom window is just perfect to shoot a few dreamy pictures.

I have wanted to show you this new addition to my wardrobe for quite some time now and this turned out to be a great opportunity. Never before have I owned a maxi dress, but something about this black one intrigued me when I stumbled upon it on Tobi. I haven’t heard about their online shop before and have to admit the only reason I clicked on their banner ad was the fact that they offer 50% off your first order. Their clothes are already very affordable at full price, and even though not everything they offer is exactly my style, the discount was a welcome opportunity to try something new. Turns out I really like this new dress, its side cutouts, twisted parts, open back and the fact that it’s so light and airy, yet heavy enough to fall nicely and not make it feel like something I would wear on the beach. Guess I’ll be checking back to Tobi’s online shop from time to time and see if I can find more gems like this one! ☀

Black and pink.

Remember when I wore this t-shirt for the first time and told you I couldn’t wait to show you more? Well, yesterday just felt like the perfect day for making it part of an understated black outfit, pairing it with tight jeans, casually celebrating femininity with cute accessories in shades of pink.

I am absolutely in love with my new doorknocker earrings by ASOS, aren’t the birds on them just lovely? (If only they weren’t clip-on earrings. Who had the idea of adding clips to heavy earrings? It just doesn’t work!) I couldn’t resist wearing bright pink lipstick and even painted my nails in a rosy shade (with confetti topcoat ♥), but managed to avoid a cuteness explosion by choosing my all-time favourite chained clutch that I bought last spring and still absolutely adore. It works just perfect every time I need to tone down my love for glitter/bows/polka dots/absolute girliness.all pictures by Florian Topf

Balanced.

What’s better to stage a loose top than a tight fitting pencil skirt?

I love the pale lavender colour and wide v-neck of this nowistyle cardigan so much that I chose to keep it buttoned up and wear it as a blouse. To add fierceness and balance its volume, I paired it with a tight black pencil skirt and decided to keep the accessories minimal. I added my Classic Specs glasses I got at the brand’s Brooklyn showroom this February and painted my lips a bright red to pull the whole look together. Voilà, a feminine and sexy yet very wearable and easy outfit that the team at nowistyle liked so much they used our pictures for the product page. ♥

What do you think about this top? How would you wear it?

Sunglasses.

Sabrina — Sun, 05 May 2013 19:35:48 +0000

If there’s one thing I can never have enough of, it’s sunglasses. Here are the most beautiful versions I found this spring for you and everyone who – just like me – is always on the lookout for a new pair of pretty shades.

Corner embellishments are very big this year and as I’m pretty sure you have noticed at first sight, I also have a huge thing for cateye glasses, with the Tom Ford Nastasya in rose gold definitely being at the top of my wishlist this season. I have also included my all-time favourite pair of oversized black cateyes by Dior - they’re literally the perfect size and shape to go with everything! ♥

Which one is your favourite this season? Have you already found your perfect pair of sunglasses?

Perspective.

Playing with perspectives on museum grounds.

I really like the pale steel blue /greyish theme here, it’s so different from our usual photos. And how this blazer always manages to upgrade the simplest and most casual outfits. Hope you like these shots too, my lovelies! ♥all pictures by Florian Topf
