MAD FOR PLAID

1. Burberry - Backpack / 2. Jacquemus - Coat / 3. Cédric Charlier - Knit /  4. Balenciaga - Hat / 5. Tibi - Trousers

While I write this post, I am also looking over the beautiful capital city of Germany. Of course I am talking about Berlin. As the temperatures drop, everyone is grabbing their warm wintercoats and knitwear out of their closets and I've spent the last couple of days watching everyone around me to see their take on the current fall winter trends. I have seen many but there is one in particular that I am obsessed with. Everyone has heard about the plaid print and you've probably had it hanging in your closet for years, because plaid is a recurring trend must have for this time of year. In particular it is the versatility and wearability of this years plaid trend, that I am really loving at the moment. Gone are the days when plaid was just about grunge and rock and roll styles. Labels such as Calvin Klein and Victoria Beckham have approached plaid in a much cleaner, and more subtle way, using the versatile print on everything from outerwear to cocktail dresses. If you want to rock plaid this season, then make sure you add a swipe of dark lipstick or eyeliner to give it some extra bite. In other words, the less put together, the better! Pair a plaid top with leather pants, or pull on tall boots with a plaid dress. Above you will find some of my favourite plaid printed items, let me know what you think!

MY L.A. GUIDE

Hey guys! What are you up to this monday? I promised you guys a L.A. guide so here it finally is. This was my very first time in Los Angeles and I found it more than amusing. Now that I've seen the best part of it I finally understand everyones obsession with the city. When I arrived the first thing I saw was the huge line at the customs. I am not sure if it is always like this but I stood in line for aproximately 2 hours. I think the line just got longer and longer so I guess I wasn't the only one planning to come to LA. After passing customs I met with my friend whom was patiently waiting in the arriving hall. We took an uber to Hollywood because that's where our airbnb was located. Since I discovered Airbnb I haven't travelled without theorie services. The apartment was exactly the same as in the pictures and there was even prepared food waiting for us in the fridge. While I was in Los Angeles I visited plenty of spots that I think you should go to too. That is why I thought I had to make this list for my dear readers, so you can have more time enjoying the city instead of figuring out what to do next! There are some obvious ones but there are some local hotspots only insiders know about as well. Let me know if I am missing anything. Xxxx

P.S. If you like this guide you could also take a look at my Paris guide.

8 DO'S AND DON'TS FOR HALLOWEEN

It is almost that time of the year again. Yes, I am talking about Halloween of course! Do you already have an outfit? I was thinking about dressing up as Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. After seeing the movie I immediately thought to myself: 'I am going to be her this year!!'. Unfortunately I'm not able to celebrate Halloween this year, because I'll be in Londen where there's no time to party. I'm quite sad about that but that doesn't mean I'm not going to help you guys out. Even though it's Halloween, there are still some dressing rules. I've selected my favourite Halloween clothing and accessoires for you below. Besides that, I also made a list with some do's and don'ts, just for you. I can't wait to see all of your outfits! I hope all of you have a nice Halloween! Xxx

1. DO save the skimpy looks for the bedroom.
2. DO be creative (Seriously, how many more Halloweens are you going to be a witch, cat or princess?)
3. DON'T dress up as your frenemy.
4. DO find a costume buddy (Friends don't let friends make a fool of themselves—alone).
5. DO be a femme fatale.
6. DON'T supersize it, bars will hate you.
7. DO get inspiration from your favorite childhood fairy tale.
8. DO leave something to the imagination, an attention-hungry partygoer can be as scary as ghosts or goblins.

PATCH IT UP

Levi's - Jacket / Zadig&Voltaire - Knit / Asos - Jeans / Stella McCartney - Bag / Celiné - Sunglasses / Adidas - Sneakers

Hey guys, long time no see! Hope that everyone is doing well. I just came back from the city of angels, one of my favorite trips until now. My friend and I already agreed upon returning next year. I really want to tell you guys everything about my time there but I will make a L.A. guide for all of you to summarize it. In there you'll find my favorite spots to eat and exciting things to do in Los Angeles. Because I want it to be complete, it's not finished yet.. Now that I am back in town my next weeks are full with exciting things to catch up and things to prepare. At the end of this month I will leave for London and Berlin, which means I don't have time to settle back in. Because it was a long time since my last post, the day I returned I met with my photographer to make some new ones. This post includes my new vintage denim jacket from Levi's. I got it at Fairfax flea market for just 25 dollars! While I was there I bought some patches too which I put on my new jacket. It's a really cheap way to have a fashionable new jacket. I can really recommend you making one, because you'll have a jacket only you own, and it's really fun to make. Does mine need more patches or or is it enough for now? Let me know what you think! Xxx
