MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK - DAY THREE

Another day, another Fashion Week report! Let's embark on my adventures for day 3. This time again in my usual colourful spirit. I wore the most luxe Sandro piece on which I spent my savings on without a blink of an eye, paired with the coolest shoes in my entire closet. I'm so in love with this piece and the heels. Both new. But naturally I didn't leave the house without a pair of flats in my bag, which is why part of the day I wore flats. But, yes my outfit was on point most of the day! ;P

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK - DAY TWO

For day 2 I choose a one of the boys but still sexy feminin look. ..Or at least I tried. I think this was my most daring and fun look, although it's all black errthang. I say that because during Fashion Week I didn't actually wear a bra, underneath the blazer. But during the outfit shooting the blazer wouldn't stay in place (hence the hideous looking fit. It's actually very form fitting and complementing. Usually..) so I had to play it safe. I'm so in love with my Selena Gomez x Adidas NEO joggers/harem pants and they were perfect for the look I was trying to create. I wish I wasn't so color blind when I choose my bag, because clearly that red MK was a complete different hue and didn't quite match my berry lips or shoes. Oh well..
Nonetheless I loved wearing this look although it made me sweat A LOT during the hot and hectic day.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK - DAY ONE

Hey guys!
How have you been? I've finally been able to upload my first fashion week diary. And like in true old fashion I will take you along my day from morning to end and show you my outfit. Although I didn't do particularly much on day one as opposed to the million shenanigans I used to be up to, I had a fun day that left me tired and happy to be in bed afterwards.
Scroll down for outfit details. (All the way at the end of the post like always ;) )
Let's get started.

ABOUT FASHION WEEK.. AND THE TREND OF COMPLAINING

Well, the fashion world is filled with superficial people. *Shocker* It's nothing new, and it comes with the territory. That is the business and it's been like that every fashion week. Yet somehow blogpost complaining and ranting and assessing and judging have been surfacing like fake Chanels in a Chinese factory - quicker than you can spell F.A.K.E and in multitude. *Sigh*.. Don't get me wrong, most of the posts are legit and have a very good point.
But honey, misery is not a good color for you, complaining doesn't suit you and judging makes you look fat.

OLYMPUS PEN GENERATION FASHIONGALLERY OPENING

What used to start out with inofficial parties on Monday's - Monday's have become part of Fashion Week. So my first stop this year was the Opening of the Olympus PEN Generation Fashion Gallery (had to sit out on the European Fashion Award FASH 2015 and Zalando Fashion House. It was just too much to start off fashion week and frankly too little time).
The Gallery featured amazing photography by some of my favourite bloggers, such as Kayla from Not Your Standard or my dear friend Amandine or Chloe, a Fashion Blogger from the Netherlands, who I met 4 years ago during my very first Fashion Week.
The Gallery was good. The photography pretty amazing and it was a great way to start of fashion week, especially because there were so many international bloggers present.
My highlight had to have been when I met Ivana Carpio (goddess of Love Asthetics), who I've been following since day one. I've always looked up to her and I briefly met her about two years ago at Fashion Week. Didn't think she would remember me. But she did and she came up to me. She really is amazing.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 2

So finally continuing with my fashion week diary series. Uni is killing my vibe, my energy and my happy spirit. But what can I do. PS.: I just got the news that I passed my first exam.
Let me take you into my crazy adventures of Day 2 at Berlin Fashion Week.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 1

Last week was that time of the year again - Berlin Fashion Week frenzy, buzz, parties, events, runway shows and more fashion shows. This year I took it upon myself to take a more relaxed approach to fashion week and declined most invitations. I wanted to have time to still go to uni and choose only a handful of events that seemed most interesting for me. Nevertheless my schedule was pretty exciting and still quite packed. Here is the first post of my fashion week adventures. Let's get started!

MBFW BERLIN: IOANA CIOLACU - BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE AND INTERVIEW

I have been a fan of Ioana Ciolacu since I first saw her. It was at the press conference with Stella McCartney. I was rooting for her to win the Award, not only because I her showcasing piece and her collection "Paradox" completely blew me away. But there was something about her that I immediately liked. I remember her, shy, but so genuine. She won the Designer for Tomorrow Award of 2013 and last summer she presented her debut collection as the official winner of the DFT Award, which again was one of my favorite collections by far presented at Berlin Fashion Week.

This season she returned to Berlin on her own with a new collection. Her being one of my favs since she emerged, for two seasons straight - imagine my joy, when I received a personal message from her via Facebook if I was interested to attend her show. She herself invited me to her show! Soon after I received the official invitation, backstage passes and one of her runway dresses to attend her show in.
(A little bit of gossip on the side: I even organized some friends to walk her show. Salimata, you looked amazing!). Enjoy a post full of runway and backstage impressions.

POST FASHION WEEK BEAUTY TREATMENT AT HENDRICKS SALON OF CURIOSITIES

First all let me start by saying, sorry I've been so M.I.A. lately! Been stuck learning for my first exams and I haven't even gotten around to update you from my crazy Fashion Week week. Well I'm back and I have lots to tell you about. Let me start with one of my favourite things of that week: my beauty treatments.
Now I had quite a few beauty treatments that week, but one I looked forward to the most was my post-fashion week treatment at HENDRICK'S Gin Salon of Curiosities. HENDRICK'S Gin transformed the Concept Store Wheadon into a little beauty salon/cocktail bar/barbar shop paradise.

BACKSTAGE AT ALENA AKHMADULLINA PRESENTED BY MERCEDES-BENZ ELLE AND THE RUNWAY SHOW

This season was my first time backstage, backstage at a runway show. Backstage frenzy is mad. Mad in a capturing way - somewhat like a New York Minute. So many people in one room, everyone working their best. From photographers, to cameramen and video teams, interviewers and journalists for important magazines getting exclusives and in between the models have to get changed, dressed - but at least everyone has their own personal dresser. It's mad how everyone waits in line to shoot their two questions at Alena Akhmadullina while she takes minutes of her precious time to conversate, while she's still trying to keep a check on everything happening backstage because she's minutes away from her big moment. The moment her models walk the runway in her creative vision for the world to see.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 3 - BREAD&BUTTER 2014// DRYKORN, MAVI AND MORE

My third day at Fashion Week started with a meeting with Point Rouge. We met over breakfast in a really cute restaurant in Mitte with just one handful bloggers. All I can say for now is that there will be lots of projects planned for this year, so stay tuned. Can't wait to uncover what they'll have in store for us, especially since part of my blog make-over is introducing more beauty and dedicating an entire section to it and I'm sure Point Rouge will have some great opportunities for everyone sat at that breakfast table that day.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 2 - BEAUTY LOUNGE, NOBIS, KICKZ AND CANCELING SOME SHOWS

On the second day I cancelled all my shows in the morning as I had run some very important last-minute errands for university. (Fingers crossed everything turns out well! If everything goes right, I'll be a lot happier in the next few months.) I was running late for my beauty appointments in the VIP Beauty Lounge so I sent my babe Carlinka to go in for me and get herself vamped up. I headed there to check on my beauty and they truly made her more gorgeous than she already is.

MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 1 - FIRST SHOWS AND BLUE YARD AND TOPSHOP PARTY

After a very busy Monday - ZEITmagazin Konferenz, Nokia workshop and partying a little too long at the Stylight aftershow party, I of course slept through my first show Ivanman at 10.30 but made it in time for the next thing on my oh so busy schedule: Lena Hoschek. And I'm happy I made it on time, because it was truly magical. Lena Hoschek never fails to wow with her shows. Although Lena Hoschek is not exactly my style, her shows want to always make me channel my inner lady and get lost in her vintage touch and the world of Pin-Up and sexy women. She's super retro in a really good way.

STYLIGHT FASHION BLOGGER AWARDS & THE AFTER SHOW PARTY

The international Stylight Fashion Blogger Awards were the perfect way to kick off Fashion Week. With all the talk and hate going on surrounding Fashion Week and whether a blogger's presence is ligimate and all, I really appreciated the blogger power going on on the first night of Fashion Week. Chiara Ferragni hosted the event together with Raul Richter (yes that's the guy from GZSZ) and one by one the winners received their awards but not until Mavi showed their new collection and there was a live performance by Andreas Wijk - blogger turned superstar (he's signed to Red One?! Hello?? That's the guy that made Lady Gaga famous!), who btw has an amazing voice! Still got "Alive aaaaliveeeee, I live for the moment" stuck to my head today which is the chorus to his new song.

THE NOKIA #LUMIA4FASHION WORKSHOP WITH MARCEL OSTERTAG AND JILA & JALE

My first day of this season's Fashion Week started with the ZEITmagazin conference from which I quickly rushed to Nokia's workshop with took place at the Stue Hotel (totally dreamy!). Reason for the workshop was the introduction of the new Nokia Lumia 1020 that has a 41 mega pixel camera and full HD video funktion. With a handful of bloggers all equipped with the Nokia Lumia 1020 we were ready to begin. Finally met Lu from Lu Zieht An (who btw is even more beautiful in reality) and Hai-Yen from Gisela is Back. Yay! The girls are sugar and super fun! The idea of the workshop was pretty cool. Nokia invited fashion designer Marcel Ostertag and Jila&Jale, you may know from Fashion Hero that aired on Pro7 not to long ago, to present some of their upcoming looks and designs. In a sort of private runway we sat there and snapped away, getting to try the camera out right away.

FASHION WEEK IS NOT ALL ABOUT RUNWAY SHOWS AND SITTING FRONTROW

The first thing that probably comes to your mind when hearing the word Fashion Week is a.) Models strutting the catwalk in the latest collection of huge designers with socialites and stars sitting front row dying for the first look to come out and saddened when the lights go off as the last look descends the runway b.) Streetstyle photogs hoarding infront of the tent waiting for Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss to pose for their cameras c.) Anna Wintour. Oh and let's not forget d) Parties, goodie bags and more parties.

Note: This however does not apply to Berlin Fashion Week. We got ex Dschungel Camp contestants and DSDS stars sitting Frontrow. And our biggest designers are bailing on Berlin Fashion Week. (Where is Hugo Boss? Where is Michalsky?) Oh well..
