OFS MENSWEAR: TIRED OF STARTER PACK OUTFITS

The last time I featured this guy here on the blog was almost three years ago in this post! Time for 

y'all to check, if his style has changed over the years. I know he did, because I get to see him on a 

regular basis. Another reason why I know that his style's changes is: He cleared out his wardrobe 

and I'm always a lucky girl when he does. Some of the pieces are perfect to combine for me because

the days, where we were differentiating between menswear and women's wear are clearly over. 

One big thing that changed is that he is now wearing sneakers more often. He was actually the only

person I knew that also had a profound aversion to them. Last summer this aversion turned into an 

addition real quick! I was actually kinda surprised, when he didn't show up wearing them sneakers

on the day I shot this pictures. Well, I already recognized that some of my friends are wearing any 

other type of shoes when they meet me, because maybe I made it a little bit too clear, that sneakers

are on top of my shit list. And now I feel a liiiittle bad about that since I'm givin' y'all that preach of 

wearing whatever the fuck you want every time. With that said, I think we are all ready to ring down 

a curtain on THIS topic. 

Well, back to his outfit. If he doesn't wear black or white, you'll see him wearing dark blue or grey. 

Still, he manages to keep his outfits looking different every freakin' time. Let's not forget that we 

kind of try to express our personality through our styles. I've been tired of this f*ckboi looks lately. 

Where is all the smartness and charisma I am looking for? This is not about the shoes anymore. It's

more about the ability of putting everything together to make it one. But where does this charisma go

when it's nothing more than unspectacular most of the time? Where is the tension? I'm glad that

Dominic manages to keep up with trends without changing his style completely 'cause if he would 

wear one of this 'starter pack oufits' I wouldn't be able to 'inherit' his clothes when he decides to get

rid of them. 'Cause honestly? This jumper would look so goood on me. It's 3.30AM and I'm gonna 

hit the hay now. Just thought it might be time for a long due menswear post again. Enjoy the pics,

get some inspiration and give me that spectacular moments back! Thaaaanks xx

OFS INSPIRED OUTFIT: MADONNA BLOGGER AWARD 2016

If you follow me on Snapchat (@yasmeendabu), you may have seen, that I posted like the longest snapchat story the other
 day. I was attending the Madonna Blogger Award and it was an amazing night. Since I was really busy having a blast 
with the girls and boys, I wasn't able to take pictures of my outfit of that night. So I looked up some similar pieces for 
you. Actually the weather was the worst, so there was no freakin' way of wearing a dress. Since I already had my little 
black dress on, I had to change and grabbed my striped culottes, which I just posted recently. Still having the dress on, 
while I was putting on my pants, it turned out to be the perfect combination and made my life a lot easier because I didn't 
have to think about what I was going to wear for the top part. When I feel unsure about being underdressed, I always put 
my Valentinos on because they really upgrade the most casual look. It was an unforgettable night and at this point I want 
to congratulate all the winners again, especially Edisa (disicouture.com) for best in fashion (and for sharing your moment
 with us) and Raphaela (heartblood.com) for best in newcomer!  All the nominated bloggers are amazing people and I'm 
glad we all had a blast! Thank you for that fun night.

Oh and you can check out the products, that I used for make-up that night here:

SOFT PINK COAT: LAID BACK LOOK

The days are starting to get a little bit longer and I can't wait for spring. I know it still be might be 

a little too cold for what I'm wearing, but I never really separate my wardrobe into summer and 

winter clothes. I like layering but if I don't feel like it so I'd rather get a freakin' cold instead of 

keeping myself warm. And that's exactly what happened a few days ago. I wanted to wear my 

latest pickup from Berlin so bad, and had to spend 5 days in bed. Nevermind. I keep telling myself

that a flunami got me.

I'm always the one that doesn't put something warm on because I only get cold like few and far 

between. That's why most of my coats and jackets are lightweight like this soft pink coat I've been

loving to wear lately. I find it so easy to combine it because that soft pink matches like every 

washing of my denims. Pairing it with my white leather flats just made the whole outfit the perfect

laid-back look I was going for. Even if it's too early and not that time of the year yet, I think that 

a colorful look like this is the perfect transition outfit from winter to spring days. 

I can guarantee you that you'll be seeing this coat a lot on the blog in my upcoming posts. I have so

many pieces I want to combine with it. I already have a Blair Waldorf inspired look in mind. That

was actually my first thought when I saw this coat. This loose fit is not exactly the typical Queen B 

style, but I was thinking of this cute combination that really got me when I was still watching Gossip

Girl. She was wearing this pink (it was more like a fuchsia) coat, and combined it with a deep purple

blouse. For the bottom parts she went for another shade of pink. In case it doesn't ring a bell right

now, don't worry. I'll be posting the look very soon. 

I feel like every girl has a little pink in her – even the ones, that are usually going for the all-black 

look, like me. Just keep in mind, that you pick the right shade that matches your skin tone. Find your

ideal pink. Don't be afraid to wear color. Just make sure you don't overdo it. I find it very easy

because a white top always works with every shade of pink. Keeping it simple doesn't mean that you

shouldn't dare to take a risk though. Since I'm going all crazy over the Blair Waldorf look, her style's

the ultimate proof that you don't always have to go monochrome with colors.

#OFSBEAUTY: STUDDED KISS NIGHT MAKE UP

Since I have to get ready for an event later, I thought I'd share some of the products that I use with you. Especially when
I'm in a hurry and still want to wear a little more on the eyes, I just go in with that 'Espresso' eyeshadow by M.A.C. and 
blend it into the crease. If I feel like it, I add a sharp wing to it or just add a lot of mascara to make it more dramatic. Since
I am only wearing one color on the eyes, I'm still able to rock that red lip. If you read my post about my fave lipsticks, 
you already noticed that I'm addicted to red lips. At the moment I'm going all crazy over 'Studded Kiss' by MAC.
Let me know if you wanna know more details about the full look I'm going for. In this collage I concentrated on the 
products that I use for my face, lips and brows – but mostly for my face. So if you wanna know what I use for contour and
lashes, I'm happy to share my look with you! xx

OFS' #FIVEPICKS: FEBRUARY

Good morning/ Good afternoon / Good evening everyone! I hope y'all enjoyed your weekend so far.
Today I wanted to introduce my new category #fivepicks. In every #fivepicks-post I will share 

5 things that I'm not planning to let go of any time soon. Long story short – let's start with my 

picks for this month.

#1_SPECS: QUINN by SunniesStudios

I have the poorest eyesight of all time. I'm actually wearing contacts but sometimes my eyes just

react against this foreign substance and need a break. My biggest problem is, that I don't like 

wearing the same frame all over again. It actually depends on my mood to decide which shape
I wanna go for. As we all know, most spectacles are quite expensive, so my vanity is working against

me here. This explains, why I freaked out so much ever since Sunnies Studios came out with their

specs line. These specs come with non-prescription lenses but can be replaced. So that's exactly

what I did. If you're planning to get them, I would recommend you to show them to your optometrist

first. Some optical shops are unable to fit prescription lenses into some of the frames. 

#2_NO7 Highlighter

I got this highlighter-palette in London and never used any other ever since. Some highlighters 

tend to be too glittery or have a white pigment, that just won't fit by skin color. This one's amazing!

#3_Romper Room Nail Polish by Essie 

I am more the red nail-polish kinda person, but lately I've been loving this nude/light pink for a

change. My absolute fave at the moment is the color romper room by essie. The other bottle you

see here is one of their base coats which works just perfect on my nails. I've been strugglin' a lot

finding the right base because I feel like it's the base that causes bubbles and not the top coat.
I count these nail polishes as one pick because the base goes along with every nail polish color
I would pick for that manicure routine that I have. Btw: Thinking of posting my home manicure
'how-to' on the blog and introduce my favorite shades from Kiko, Essie, Caronia & co. What do

you think? 

 

#4_ROUGE VOLUPTE - YSL 

I've been very lazy when it comes to doing my make-up the last weeks. But when I do, I find myself

wearing that heavy eye-makeup. Before this laziness hit me, I went for a winged eye-liner and bold

lip errday. Since I am wearing make-up like twice a week only (if ever), I feel like I have to go all

in and put a little more effort in it. Going all-in with the eyes, I feel like a bold lip is too much so I'm

sticking to nude or rosy lip colors. The one that's been used the most for the past weeks: My YSL
Rouge Volupte. 

#5_HEADPHONES by FRENDS

You guys know me: no music - no life. Headphones on – world off. These headphones are a shield

from everything what's going on around you. I have difficulties when it comes to keep my 

concentration. So what I do when I work is to listen to music and turn the volume up to the 

fullest. Fun fact: When I still went to university and had to study for my exams or write my papers, 

I had only o n e song on replay for weeks, so the lyrics or beat wouldn't distract me.

#3: NAIL POLISH: DE order here EN order here
#4: LIPSTICK: here (my shade 'opera rose')

CHALLENGING CULOTTES

There's a clash of opinions when it comes to culottes like there's always a clash when it comes to

fashionable items. Some people love 'em and some hate 'em. I've always had a thing for these skirt-

resembling trousers ... until I started hating them. I started taking dislike to them, because every time

I would try them on, I would look like a dwarf whose legs were wrapped up in a kite. I am not the

tallest person, so even when the fit was just right, the length was not how it's supposed to be. I'm not

the skinniest person, so when the length was just good, they looked like capri leggings. I was 

desperate to find a good pair and gave up after looking for the perfect fit for almost half a year. 

And then it happened – like a fairytale come true. "It'll happen when you stop looking for it"

As you all know, I visited the Philippines back in November. And guess what! I found t h r e e pairs 

with the perfect fit. When I was a teenager I would always buy my denims there, because I wouldn't
have to alter the length. Same with culottes. And instead of choosing one color only, I bought all of
them. 

So is everyone able to wear culottes? I saw a lot of posts and articles, that this style of pants is a
no-go for short people. I disagree. As you see it's all about the endeavour of finding the right pair
(even though I have to admit, that I already surrendered). So how do I pair them? The most seen
combination is to pair them with a crop-top. Nope, not following this trend, unless looking like
Winnie the Pooh is object of this game. Don't get me wrong. Crop-Tops are great! Cute & sexy
at the same time, just nothing that would look good on me. I always hear and read all these
suggestions, that culottes go best with fitted, tiny or tucked in tops, t-shirts, blouses, or sweaters,
because it would balance out the silhouette. So I've clearly missed on this must-do. Actually I didn't.
I just dare not to follow these suggestions. As you see I did wear a loose, oversized blouse which
I haven't tucked in at all. I went for a transparent blouse to avoid looking like I forgot to take
of my pyjamas. To compensate the casual look, I decided to wear heels  – besides, I really missed
to flounce around in those babies. But I would totally wear this outfit combination to white flats.
I think that this oversized pieces, paired with my striped culottes, look a little more sophisticated (on
me) than the typical crop-top combination. But I guess it's all a matter of proportion. Now tell me,
how do you pair yours?

PH-EXPERIENCE: AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC

Staying in the Philippines, especially Manila also requires a lot of patience. If you're not, it's about

time to get rid of your impatience (if you're planning to go there). There are actually a lot of beautiful

places to visit, BUT it's kind of a challenge to move along because traffic there is theee wooorst!

Within 24 years I experienced being stuck in traffic way too often and too long! But this year it felt 

like the situation just got worse. I was there with my family during the holidays. As we were staying 

there for 2,5 weeks only, we had quite a tight schedule. So instead of being stuck for like an hour, 

like we were used to, I was lucky enough to catch up on all the sleep that I skipped. Waking up after

three hours in the car, we still weren't moving. I was wondering how people manage to be at work on

time. My parents told me, either they are leaving their house like at 4AM in the morning, or they'll 

take a tricycle – one of my fave rides there. That thing manages to loop through all the lined up cars.

Since I was a little kid, I loved riding these things and I even drove these motorized cycles – which I 

wouldn't do anymore because I turned to a chicken-hearted person. Filipinos know, that they would 

only waste their time by taking the car during rush hours, so these tricycles are common means of

public transportation there. Even if I am able to walk from our house to some places, I sometimes 

feel like having a ride by tricycle, just because I love these bumpy rides. So try it and put that on 

your checklist: ride a freakin' tricycle!

PHILOMENA ZANETTI FASHION WEEK BERLIN

 

We interviewed Julia Leifert, who is the genius behind the label Philomena Zanetti for sisterMAG 

and ever since I fell in love with her pieces – especially THIS coat. It's about high quality and 100% 

sustainability. If you want to read more about this label check out the interview here.

I was very curious about her new collection. If you scroll down, you'll find some photos of my faves

of this show. 

Since I already had a thing for the coat that I mentioned at the beginning of this post, it's not a big

surprise that the coat of this collection also got me. 

I'd probably combine the following outfit with a pair of heels, but would totally wear this pretty much

just as it was shown at her show. 

And here's a dress I probably can't wear without enhancing all my jelly rolls. But if I could rock it, 

I'd most definitely do ;P !

Congrats again, Julia! It was a great show. Looking forward to see more of your work!

Thank you for having us.
