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.

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?

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.

#FBCTHEZONE FASHIONWEEK BERLIN 2016

Fashion Blogger Café is always a event that I can't skip during FW in Berlin. Luckily my co-workers 

and I made it during their lunch break and went to Fashion Blogger Café The Zone. I love how 

welcoming the StyleRanking Crew is. They make sure that you feel at home whenever you enter the

venue. Here are some impressions of our short but fun visit at #FBCTHEZONE. 

Arriving at eWohnen, where FBC took place this time, the ladies from StyleRanking gave us a warm

welcome. The really lovely Gesche offered us to show us around.
