THE HOTTEST MONTH

February marked the Hottest Month in every sneakerhead's calendar. The Hottest Month is a month full of daily releases at Foot Locker. From the hottest Nikes, to the Puma x Fenty release (daaaammmnnnn) to Adidas exclusives to Vans, it's mayhem!
Foot Locker allowed me to choose and style a pair and I went for the Vans metallics that are exclusive to Foot Locker. Now let me be completely honest with you. I chose them because my initial reaction was "ew what are thooose?!", immediately followed by a classic Barney Stinson like urge to make them work in a "Challenge accepted!" fashion.
Here is my result.
What are your thoughts?

BERLIN FASHION WEEK - LOOK 3

 
For my third look for Fashion Week I decided to go a little more.. well a bit on the boys side. I've been inspired a lot lately by one of my fav instagirls Aleali May. She's been wearing a lot of oversize bomber jackets in very androgynous cuts, mainly by my Adidas fam or Y3, which is a high end label from Adidas by Yohji Yamamoto. Her style itself is quite androgynous and she's rocking it.
I played with the masculine silhouette of this huge bomber coat I stumbled across on ASOS, mixing it with a sexy mini skirt to show off my legs, but kept the rest of my skin tucked away in a turtleneck. The details: tassels to keep it all a little fun.
Was I cold, you wonder. No, I was driven everywhere that day. Haha! Perks of staying with the girls of Blogger Apartment! (I did however make the biggest mistake of my life. Thinking that I'll be driven everywhere, I wouldn't need a pair of changing shoes i.e. flat shoes. No. Don't ever leave the house without a pair of flat shoes. EVER. Unless you are Mehtap. Then you are another type of Queen. You probably heard me whine like a pussy on Snapchat every second snap - add me LoisOpoku)
The top bun is very "every dumb bitch on social media ever"; Granted.
But.. sorry not sorry.
What do you think of this look?

FASHION WEEK WITH BLOGGER APARTMENT VOL.II

What happens when you throw 7 girls and a dude into one apartment for a couple of days for Fashion Week? Blogger Apartment, that's what happens.
Meet the crew: Breeny from Breeny Lee, Samah, (moi), Yanin from Idressmyselff, Lori from Fabeau Trends, my bae Joéva from La Fashion War, Juliette from Romeo's Fashion Fix and missing in this picture - the most patient and stylish guy I've meet in a while Wilson from Black Whimsy.

During Fashion Week I moved into an apartment with a few international bloggers and vloggers, mainly from the UK and we spent most of the time together. From our apartment party and open house where we welcomed everyone into our own four walls with an dress up party with Even&Odd and Henna and Make Up Session and goodies for everyone to our shooting I think we can say we had a lot of fun and a few little adventures. I'm really happy I got to be part of this project but let my pictures speak for themself!

BERLIN FASHION WEEK - LOOK 2: LEATHER CULOTTE AND A DESIGNER JACKET

This is by far my favorite look of this season's Fashion Week. I wore it on the last day, so yeah technically this is day 4, but my following fashion week posts are in no particular order which is why I'm just going to be labeling as they come to keep things in order here on the blog.

As I said this was my favorite look, mainly because I got to wear this stunning jacket by designer VANESSAMORIN. I stumbled across her label through my homie Jean-Claude's Instagram and immediately fell in love with some of her key pieces. We got in contact and she allowed me to style this piece to fashion week. It was perfect for layering while still being the center of attention of the entire look. VANESSAMORIN is a Munich based Designer and manufactures her pieces in Europe. She even worked for Parisian fashion house Damir Doma after design school, but her label itself is what I would call clean and contemporary, casual yet luxurious.  "A woman wearing VANESSAMORIN appreciates and never loses the lightness of being."
Go check out her amazing label. I'm keeping an eye out for her as I can't wait to see how her label will evolve over the next years.

BERLIN FASHION WEEK JANUARY 2016 - LOOK 1

Fashion has come and gone in what seemed like a blur! I pretty much did all the shows with my partner in crime Phillip who helped me take all the pictures this season and I was part of the Blogger Apartment project (more on that later!).
Brace yourself for a few fun posts from Fashion Week. This time I hardly attended any events and I pretty much bailed on all parties. Shocker! I know right? But I had a lot of fun peeking behind the scenes and being able to get a lot of backstage access.
I was able to concentrate on the designers and their work rather than all the tata tata and heckmeck and fake glitz and glam around it. I selected a handful of designers I was really interested in seeing and a got a whole new perspective being able to watch from backstage as it all unfolded.
People still belittle Berlin Fashion Week. Yes, it's not Paris, nor London or anything close to New York.
But Berlin is Berlin and it has a few gems to offer.
Here is my first outfit. But brace yourself for more to come..
