MBFW BERLIN FASHION WEEK: DAY 1

Lois Opoku outfit berlin fashion week lisforlois
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!

CAN'T WAIT FOR: 3 TÜRKEN UND 1 BABY PREMIERENPARTY


Next Monday marks the beginning of Berlin Fashion Week.

And Monday it's finally here: 3 Türken 1 Baby! - starring Kostja Ulman (Hi boyfriend!), Kida Khor Ramadan and Deutschrap-star rapper turned actor Ekrem Bora aka Eko Fresh.

And we have some German Youtube stars going big screen in mini roles or supporting acts like Simon Desue and Joyce Helbig.

The official Aftershow Party will be held on Monday in attendance of the 3 stars of the movie at The Grand Berlin. I won't miss it! I will be there as well, so make sure to follow me on Instagram for some real time action @LisforLois. Music will be provided by DJs Beatzhoven, Ozzy Brown and DJ Binichnich aka Harris.

TO A NEW YEAR AND BEGINNINGS.. BUT FIRST DINNER WITH DEICHMANN

lois opoku deichmann blogger dinner lisforlois
Welcome to the first post in the new year! I've been offline for a couple of weeks on the blog and recently also on Instagram. I just needed a little time away from the Internet and the blog to refocus and reevaluate what I want from it, where I want this to go and realize if my heart is still in it.
2014 was good to me, no doubt, but I think I did get kinda lost somewhere along the lines because I was dreaming bigger than reality was, and making my dreams reality felt like being lost in translation.
I was lucky to have lived what are now memories of 2014 and because I appreciate all that's happend, I'll still be sharing a couple of events and things, that took place especially in the last months of 2014.
And one of those things was a magical night I spent with Deichmann in a fortress, the 4 walls of Schlosshotel Grunewald. Deichmann invited me and some pretty rad girls - some new faces, some old, (Hi Nina! Hi Vicky!) for a Christmas Dinner. I had a couple of those Christmas Dinners, but none came any close to the night with Deichmann.

PATRICK MOHR X K1X MK5 SNEAKER LAUNCH AT OVERKILL BERLIN

patrick mohr k1x mk5 launch berlin patrick mohr k1x mk5 launch berlin
So last Friday I stopped by the Patrick Mohr x K1X sneaker launch of the brand new MK5 with my girl Joeva (read her post here). Unlike last year's party, its launch was celebrated in a small in-store event held at the Overkill Berlin store (Tipp: In need of unique, special edition or simply rad Sneakers? Stop by Overkill!) with limited access and early access to purchasing the highly limited Patrick Mohr x K1X MK5 sneakers which dropped midnight.

A CRAZY NIGHT WITH JOOP!

joop-crazy-night-at-felix-felix-clubrestaurant (7) Okay so a little back I had one the craziest nights ever. And trust when I say EVER.
You can take my word for it.
It was the Joop! Crazy Night and Jasmin being without a date invited me to come along. So I jumped one of my party dresses I got at the ASOS Sample Sale and got ready for a girls night out with my girl Jasmin.
Our night started with an open bar overlooking the dancefloor of the Felix Club before the club even opened. We had strip dancers on the end of each bar and kinky toys and glitter make up to get us into the mood of the crazy night ahead of us.
Joop! invited a few selected guests (Jimi Blue &Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht and friends) plus a small hand full of bloggers AnneAmandine, Laura, and the homme to go boys + Josie. That night

#LIVEINLEVIS PROJECT LAUNCHES IN BERLIN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER AFTERNOON

LiveinLevis_EventBerlin_Credit_Pascal_Rohe_111 LiveinLevis_EventBerlin_Credit_Pascal_Rohe_61
Last Thursday with Levi's felt like a perfect end to summer. The sun was back out, it was the beginning of Berlin Festival and Levi's invited us to the Oberhafenkantine (huuuge yard with a cute little wooden house and a glass house) to celebrate the launch of Levi's latest project: #LiveInLevis. The campaign features so many different people - people with different backgrounds - artist, dancers, barbers, singers, social media managers, Alexandra from 4thandbleeker (<3) in an image trailer whose lives couldn't be more unalike. It follows them in their Levi's as they uncover their tales. The trailer itself is pretty inspiring. But that's not all, if you visit your local Levi's Store, you'll discover more #LiveInLevis stories from local characters. The Berlin Kudamm store got a makeover from none other than the dudes from Dandy Diary & Jessie from Journelles.com.

NOKIA #LUMIASUMMERGLOW PARTY

Lois Opoku mittsommer nokia #lumiasummerglow lisforlois
About a month ago Nokia invited for a celebration of summer with a pop of color. I first thought about coming in a yellow summer dress to match the new Lumia 930, 630 & 635 with Windows Phone 8.1, which come in bright orange, green, yellow or black or white, and live up to summer brights but then decided for this white hippie touch dress I got from Esprit during their beautiful Mittsommar afternoon. Anyway Nokia chose the roof deck of the Nhow to introduce the new phone. It was a really nice chilled early evening with the lovely Nokia team.
Naturally I got to test the new Lumia 630, Lumia 635 or Lumia 930 and play around with the new functions. I practically took over one of the testphones and infiltrated it with a few too many (*cough* read= a lot!) selfies of myself. Can't waste moments of perfect selfie - sorry I mean lufie - light x finding your right angle for a change, right? RIGHT?! Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Scroll a bit up in your camera roll and I know you got at least one set of a minimum 30 same looking selfies, missy ;)
To be honest I didn't really discover all the functions this new phone brings with its launch. I was #busytakingselfies.. #DontMindMeWhileIgoTakeAnotherSelfie #GoodFaceDay oh and the classic #ShamelessSelfie #obsessedWithMyselfMuch..

THEY'RE REAL PUSH UP LINER LAUNCH TOUR

BenefitLiner They're Real Push Up Liner Tour
A couple of weeks ago Benefit invited me to their very fancy partybus in celebration of their new They're Real Push Up Eyeliner. Actually we got a sneak peek a week prior to to its official Germany launch. The bus and the Benefit Team was enroute from Munich to Cologne bringing their energy all they way to their final stop: Berlin.
And as a Berlin girl I sure wasn't going to miss out on the fun. Admits Youtubers and Beauty Bloggers we rode through Berlin with this really cool bus - music ofcourse at full blast, a few glasses of champagne too many, lots of laughs and some really crazy Benababes who were up to no good, we drove through Berlin. Benefit had some surprises for us on board. We found each other into little groups and had to solve some tasks as a team. The game is turned out to be really fun and my team won a few stages. No one remembers who was announced as winners, but I'm pretty sure it was us. Team #trashyissexy.

POST FASHION WEEK BEAUTY TREATMENT AT HENDRICKS SALON OF CURIOSITIES

Hendricks_Salon_of_Curiosities_002
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.

MITTSOMMER WITH ESPRIT

Esprit Mittsommer event Lois Opoku lisforlois Esprit Mittsommer event lisforlois
Just a few days ago Nisi took me along to as her friend of choice to celebrate mittsommer with Esprit. Together we spent a beautiful afternoon in this really cute dreamy location somewhere in a backyard of Berlin with flower crowns and mittsommer inspired cocktails and a live performance session from beautiful Anna F, whom I've fallen in love with since the Diesel Loverdose launch during Fashion Week last summer. Anna's performance made the afternoon perfect.
Meanwhile, Esprit hung out two racks full of their current summer collection and we got to take home all our favourite pieces. Between elegant black maxi dresses with a leg slit, oversized jackets, maxi jumpsuits in cute floral prints, aztec prints, two-pieces that reminded of the Sahara desert or Moroccan vibe and white hippie like dresses that really evoked the Mittsommer Spirit, almost everything was too big for me, but I managed to snag a really cute effortless chic vibe striped blouse and a simple blue acid wash T-shirt that has the most amazing feel on my skin.

NIKE HOUSE OF PHENOMENAL - THE LAST GAME PREMIERE

Nike House of Phenomenal The Last Game Berlin lisforlois Lois Opoku

The Nike House of Phenomenal was a paradise for all boys passionate about football (only Americans can call this game soccer, only Americans..) and men who deep down inside still stayed boys at heart clinging onto their dreams and love for this game, fan girls and aspiring WAGs (<- me).
Sadly it came to an end last night after two weeks of football games and special events, such as the Abdi and Celo concert or EasyDoesIt and finding the winning team all being open to public and football fans, but not before premiering Nike's new short movie The Last Game with a special closing event.

THE NIKE FREE 5.0 PRE-LAUNCH EXPERIENCE

Nike Free Lois Opoku lisforlois Nike Free 5.0 Launch Berlin lisforlois

I visited the Nike Free 5.0 Pre Launch experience together with the Nike Team. Everyone was welcome to the event, given that you showed up in any pair of Nike Frees. Luckily I own a pair, my only shoes I use for gym and love ever since I got them. The event was fun! They had a photo wall inspired by the new Nike Free 5.0 campaign, drinks and snacks. You were able to try on the new Nike Free 5.0 and even hit the block for a quick run with one of the trainers in the shoes. I even got to design my own pair of Nike Free 5.0 with Nike ID. It took my forever to design my shoes because of the limitless options and color ways Nike ID offers. But finally I decided on something.
Can't wait to hold my pair in my hands and see the results!
I hope they'll look something like on screen!

FROM TOKIO TO BERLIN - UNIQLOO PRE OPENING

Neon Beanie Streetstyle Lois Opoku Berlin Uniqlo pre opening Berlin
Uniqlo has arrived in Berlin and I got a tour around the very huge new store at the Kudamm (Tauentzienstrasse 7) yesterday prior to its official launch which will be tomorrow.
Never have I seen a store with so many basics, from blouses in all colors of the universe to T-Shirts and polos, in plain colors, with prints, polka dots or stripes and prints - Uniqlo is filled with them. Quite fascinating actually! But that's what they specialize on, basics and making them functional for all aspects of life.
Uniqlo will be open the entire weekend (Sunday included) and they're offering quite some discounts for the opening weekend, like 100% cashmere jumpers with a 10€ discount and many more offers. So if you happen to check out the store this weekend you might as well take use of the discounts offered.

THE NEW AND FIRST EVER ADIDAS ORIGINALS FLAGSHIP STORE



So my busy day ended with a party with my Adidas Family after the fitting at Levis and the Blogger Event with Pepe Jeans. Jacky and me drove in her Smart across town while playing a game of "How many girls can we fit in a smart without getting caught and stopped by the police?" In case you wondered, we made it safe to our destination without being cuffed. And the answer is 4.
Adidas Originals opened their first ever flagship store, one of more to follow that will open in major cities across the world and Big B aka crazy Berlin had the honours of premiering.
The new store holds treasures like Opening Ceremony x Adidas Originals, so many amazing pieces from the Jeremy Scott collection (I'm a huge fan of every single collection he has dropped for Adidas!) and many more selected items representing Adidas Originals best. Of course I had to check it out and say hi to all the familiar faces.
The store is filled with so many great pieces and I have to admit I'm growing fonder and fonder of their collaboration collections such as Adidas Originals x Farm (L.O.V.E!!!! I had my eyes on this collection ever since I spotted a few pieces in one of the lookbooks back in October at the Adidas Style Room and I've been waiting for news about this collection to hit my inbox. One word: amazeballs! And still on my wishlist). It was super packed and the music was at full blast, but I still had the chance to squeeze past the happy crowd and fall in love with the fashion in store.
My favs and major love for: Adidas Originals x Farm and Adidas Originals x Opening Ceremony. Jeremy Scott goes without saying ;)

A DAY AT PEPE JEANS LONDON SHOWROOM BLOGGER EVENT

Pepe Jeans London Blogger event Berlin lisforlois
So after my fitting at LevisJacky and me got into her Smart and drove to our second appointment of the day, the Pepe Jeans event. In a relaxed atmosphere with DominiqueVicky, Jacky, Anjelica, Anne, Marie and Mila from Pepe Jeans, who by the way is such a sweet heart and made us all feel very welcome and comfortable, we browsed through the new collection.

Pepe Jeans for me has been all about denim and they first caught my attention when they put my favorite football player Fernando (hot ass) Torres in a pair of jeans for a campaign back in 2006 or 2007. But they've come a long way since then and as I learned first hand in their showroom last week they're so much more than denim.

JOIN ME FOR THE NIKE FREE LAUNCH EXPERIENCE TONIGHT

ph.: Song of StyletlniqueTumblr

I get a lot of questions from you guys asking me how I always get to attend so many events, but I have good news for you, tonight you are all invited to the Nike Pre Launch Experience of the new Nike Free. I will be there tonight as well and I'd love to meet some of you.
There's only one catch. There's a strict dress code.

Dress code: come in your beloved Nike Frees. No entry without Nike Free.

Time & place: Today, 02. April 2014, 20 – 22 Uhr. Tauentzienstraße 9-12 (am Europa Center)

You'll get to have an exclusive look at the new Nike Free's and even put them to a test during the Nike NTC classes that will be held for you during the event. If already told you about how fun the NITC classes are here, remember?

More details about the entire event here.

I'm coming in my Nike Free 5.0 I actually use strictly for gym. But I got them in an awesome color and I've always toyed with the idea of wearing them outside, so I'm going to pair them with an all black outfit and let the color of my Nike Frees pop.
Excited!

FITTING AT LEVI'S

Levis Revel curve ID Fitting Lois Opoku
Spent the entire Thursday, which was quite busy and super fun, with my girl Jacky and our day started at with a fitting with Levi's. Levi's invited us for brunch to the VEVO Lounge, a townhouse in Berlin, and a personal fitting with the Levi's Team. After the Grazia x Levi's event I've been quite a fan of the Levi's Revel. Tried on the perfect pair, but I never went home with one, sadly.
You know my problem when it comes to jeans that I like to call the African Bootylicious problem - big ass, tiny waist. Never have I felt more addressed than in Big Sean's A$$ "How your waist anorexic but then your ass is colossal? Whaaat?" My waist is nowhere near anorexic. But it's still tiny and the difference between my waist and butt section makes it nearly impossible to find a good fit jeans on the European market, especially when they're not low rise.

SEEK NO FUTHER POP UP STORE OPENING

Lois Opoku Seek No Further Berlin Pop Up Store Opening lisforlois Seek No Further Pop Up Store Opening Berlin lisforlois
Last week Seek No Further opened its doors to their new Pop Up store in the heart of Berlin Mitte. The store opening was quite a success, since the store was packed as Schwarz Don't Crack ?? for good tunes and the margaritas kept coming way passed closing time. Best margarita's ever! (Yes yes yes to melon and passion fruit margaritas straight from a slushy machine).
I enjoyed myself checking out the store during the press preview hours and had a closer look at the collection. I came back for the little welcoming party afterwards and even had a good chat with their London manager in the breezy night. Berlin's nights are becoming warmer and warmer. Hello Spring? (Let's not get too excited all yet. Don't wanna jinx it!) Perfect time to stop by for some Spring/Summer basics at their Pop Up Store. Seek No Further is the new premium line of Fruit of The Loom and offers clean cut basics and not so basic basics with a little twist made from different high quality materials. They are very experimental with textures and materials. A white jumper thats actually black but completely printed white? Or inside out jumpers? Already got my eyes on that slippers I saw and the dark printed dress. Definitely keeping Seek No Further on my watch list..

A NIGHT WITH BOMBAY SAPPHIRE AND THE WORLD'S MOST IMAGINATIVE BARTENDERS

Follow: @LisforLOIS

Last week I had the honor of being Bombay Sapphire's guest, a premium Gin label with an exotic touch, in their quest to for the World's Most Imaginative Bartenders. Unfortunately I didn't take any outfit pictures - or pictures at all to be honest, but I documented the night between the World Most Imaginative Bartenders and their self-created drinks with my iPhone in a sort of Instadiary. Clearly as the above depicts we were having way too much fun at Bar 1000, a little underground bar right at the water of Friedrichstr. 
I wore a my green silk dress, that . It's definitely too gorgeous to be kept in the back of my wardrobe and I should show you in a better outfit post some time. But it was one of those buys you know you won't be wearing so often but save it for special occasions and moments like this Bombay Sapphire Event. 
I enjoyed my night between music and my usual blogging partners in crime sipping away one Bombay Sapphire mix after the other and smartly dressed bartenders. Speaking of smart, Bombay Sapphire's brandmanager is such a piece of chocolate (pun intended ;) ), I wouldn't say no to a drink with him #fosho! Congrats to all the winners! 
We actually got two bottles of their finest bottles to take home. Those Bombay Sapphire bottles are super gorgeous and I can't wait to use them to decorate my room. I'm actually more excited about them being empty than endeavoring them.
Killed one bottle on the weekend with my friends, one more to go!
Cheers!

Oh and drink responsibly, right? But that goes without saying.. ;)

THE PARFUM MENU - A VALENTINES DAY LUNCH WITH THE 7 VIRTUES


Everything has a story and this in particular comes with a nice one. Unlike charities, The 7 Virtues means business. Barb Stegemann doesn't play the good Samaritan by giving charitable donations at the end of the day to a country like Afghanistan. The 7 Virtues targets the root of such a nations' problem. Barb Stegemann fuels business.
Her honest approach is quite inspirational.
She creates business beneficial for both ends focusing on using ingredients from rebuilding nations like Afghanistan, Haiti, The Middle East and soon Rwanda by forming local jobs as those for Afghan farmers of the orange blossom plantations while keeping them of illegal opium plantations who in return supply her with the afghanistan orange blossom, inevitable and vital for the creation of her parfum. And we as end consumers get high quality parfumes to shop.
This is how a single purchase of a parfum can keep someone of an illegal plantation and change a man's life on the other side of the globe. To be honest this is the first time I truly feel business can happen on an equal win-win basis without exploiting the other party.
