ON THE EDGE - ODLO GIRLS TIME

Odlo Girls Time_FW16_House_Running_119
I have to admit I would have never come this far, had I read the invitation from Odlo properly, for I would have politely declined the invitation and stayed at home safe. Me and heights are a mismatch like socks and sandals. They do not match.. unless you are open to it. Odlo invited my to their first Odlo Girls Time last week and it was no ordinary event. House running. HOUSE RUNNING. Let me repeat again, HOUSE freaking RUNNING was on the agenda.
Imagine my shock when I got there in my cute little outfit (btw the comfiest sports bra and tights I've ever owned! Thank you Odlo!) ready to run in a house not on its walls.
Sitting here on the edge was the farthest I got. Jacky, Amandine and I were pushing each other all evening until we got geared up and said at least we would try.

LEVIS 505C PRE LAUNCH PARTY

What's up guys?
How have you been? It's been super quiet here lately, but I'm back motivated as ever! I finally got my hands on all my fashion week material I shot together with Phillip, which is why I'm ending the drought here on my blog with my first event from fashion week - the Levis 505c launch party that took place on the first night after my first shows right at the Ramones museum. I made a quick outfit change somewhere in the city and opted for my new 505c of course. It's a very loose fit/straight cut kinda jeans that kinda of looks like a hybrid of a mom jeans and boyfriend jeans. Super casual.
But you can dress it up any way - casual, edgy (which I tried here), you name it and go for it..
The event itself was nice. Berlin's fashion crowd gathered in the middle of the street, people enjoying a beer, a drink or two and street food served right of a food truck whiles polas were being made to save all the memories of that night.
I took home two polaroids, two memories caught on film.

It was a good start to fashion week..

10 NEW FEATURES OF THE NEW UPDATED NIKE NTC APP

NikeWomen_NTCApp_MediaClass_3 What's up guys!
How is your new week going? I can still feel the aftermath of my workout with Nike last Thursday. Trust me, my glutes were burning and my butt feels sore. I was able to test the new NTC app in its full new glory in some of Nike's latest collection while being guided through the workout by the amazing Nada Ivanovic, one of Nike's very own trainers. (Just when you think you feel like throwing the towel, she will keep you motivated to keep fighting. There is no giving up when she says "keep going!" - My butt thanks her now. *praying hands emoji*).
I got a first glimpse at the app and its new changes. It's a completely new app and not just an update. You have to delete the old one in order to use the new one. You can however still log in with your old account details.
Below are the 10 new features of the new version of the app.

IOANA CIOLACU EXPERIENCE FROM BERLIN FASHION WEEK - BACKSTAGE+RUNWAY

Ioana ciolacu Berlin fashion Week lisforlois
Today I need to share an unpublished post with you. I don't know how I forgot to hit the publish button on this, especially because it's one of my favourite. It's about a very special designer, a designer I have been following and supporting since her beginning as a nominee for Designer of Tomorrow Award. Ioana Ciolacu won as deserved and has since come a long way. She returned to Berlin Fashion Week every time following her win as DfT and I visited every show. Her designs and fashion inspire me and I love following her and seeing how each season evolves. The Ioana Ciolacu show was one of my favorite experiences during fashion week. I visited her backstage with Phillip, talked to her as the tension minutes to the show built up. I took a closer look at the pieces that were ready to hit the runway just minutes after and watched as the make up artists created her runway makeup looks and got the models dressed and ready.
I watched the show from the runway as Phillip stayed backstage and experienced the entire spectacle from behind closed doors. He captured all the special moments for me, as I watched my favorite looks walk the runway. Enjoy the post! I love all the images!
Fashion week is coming up again next week and in honour of it returning I'm throwing it way back to last season. Let the rumble begin..

MOET WORLD PARTY DAY

Lois Opoku Moet World Party Day lisforlois
Last Saturday Moet invited people all around the World to come together and celebrate with them, sip cocktails and endless amounts of champagne and enjoy the day eating the most fancy finger food (which tasted divine btw!) while they had a few surprises in store. All around the globe in different cities it was the Moet World Party day.

The location was magical. The Ku'damm beach turned new Cappucino Cafe (one of Berlin West's new hotspot and It place for the rich) was the perfect spot. Moet had turned the place into a Pinterest heaven or something of Tumblr, a place I would have easily gotten married at. Although at first I was a little irritated about the snobbish vibes it turned into an amazing day.
My best friend and I enjoyed ourselves, met a few familiar faces as we lay in the sun and had time to catch up on what's been going on in our lives. I had so much fun on the pool floaty!

In the evening the stage opened up to a surprise act: Adesse!
Adesse's live performance was great. I found him through Instagram one day and have been following since. To hear his music live is quit the difference from hearing him on the sub with my iPhone.
Have fun looking through the pictures. I hope I was able to catch at least a glimpse of the atmosphere from the Moet party.

A YVES SAINT LAURENT BEAUTY EXPERIENCE AT GALERIES LAFAYETTE

YSL beauty x galeries Lafayette lisforlois
A few weeks ago YSL held a special event at Galeries Lafayette in celebration of the launch of their newest products and trends. It was a huge afterwork event with lots of champagne, discounts on everything and a special make up show by YSL's famous makeup experts who traveled all the way to Berlin. As a Thank You for attending, Galeries Lafayette and YSL Beauty offered free make-over appointments and of course I couldn't say no to such an opportunity. I made an appointment for the next day, perfect in time for Shery's birthday party.

Sarah from YSL Beauty made me feel comfortable from the very first moment. She gave me a lot of beauty tips as she explained step by step what she was doing.
Struck in all awe I forgot to snap a picture after my look was done. I did however share my finished face and the entire make up session on Snapchat (Make sure to follow to keep up to date with my shenanegans! Add loisopoku!).
Huge thanks to Galeries Lafayette for this opportunity and Sarah for the amazing look! I looked fabulous for Shery's birthday party night out.
I bought a few new products. But more on those in a new post.. and possibly a new video? ;)
