Even though I love wintertime more than any other season, I always struggle to look stylish and feel warm at the same time. I mean it is not hard to wear a cozy down jacket and some fluffy Ugg boots (which I mostly do), but if I want to try something more fashionable, I never really know what to look for…

Today´s look is an outfit I have worn just a few days ago to a little cocktail party. The black dress is from H&M´s regular collection and perfectly fits my growing belly - plus, I kind of believe that the slim cut and deep black shade make me look not as big as I currently am.

Since I knew that I would be standing a lot at that particular evening, I chose my Valentino Rockstud pumps in a chic eggplant color - they are the most comfortable High Heels I own, and I really wish that Valentino would make them in more colors.

If you live in a rainy city such as Cologne (or London), rain boots are an absolute must for everyday life. Last month, I finally found a pair that does both look chic and which is very comfortable - and they are made of rubber! I really like that they do not look like typical rain boots, but resemble much more a classic riding boot.

Happy weekend!

Ever since my belly started to show, I have been struggling to find the balance between feeling comfortable in my clothes and looking chic at the same time. One fashion “trend” that I have really grown to like are total tone on tone looks - I found them to be very sophisticated and stylish. For today´s outfit, I combined different shades of powder pink with some of my favorite overknee boots by Prada.

If there is one piece of clothing that you should always invest in- and I am very serious about this - it would be a good wool coat. A nice coat (e. g. made of cashmere or camel hair wool) will make the most casual outfit look chic and sophisticated within seconds, and to me, being the lazy dresser that I am, this is very important.

A few weeks ago when my bump hadn´t grown so much yet, I decided to buy this wonderful and cozy hooded coat by Max Mara. The fabric has a nice touch to it and I love how the simple design allows me to dress this coat up or down.

simple and dark look, I combined different shades of black with intense burgundy. Even though I usually try to mix things up and add a pop of color, at this stage of my pregnancy I am all about matching similar shades and colors.

Happy weekend, everybody!

My Baby Shopping Wishlist

I would have never thought that my internet and shopping habits could change that much. But when I lie in bed nowadays, I usually skip all fashion blogs, magazines and online shops that I had frequented quite regurlary over the years. Because the new me (aka the mom-to-be) is now all about babys, nurserys and the best equipment for young and first-time parents.

Today I would like to give you an overview about the products that in my opinion seem to be the best and most suitable items that I have found so far for this new chapter in my life:
