MY TOP 3 RESORT COLLECTIONS 2010- Hurrah for clothes that normal people can wear!

I love designer's resort collections because you can actually wear them.
I know that fashion designers, journalists and magazines claim that the new designer "must haves" are "so wearable" all the time (usually when referring to something that my Dad would incessantly take the piss out of me wearing- always a bad sign with clothing) but the resort collections really are just that.

So I always eagerly await my Style.com resort fix to see the gorgeous clothes that mere mortals (aka not supermodels, socialites or any kind of supposed super human celebrity) can actually wear. Hurrah for clothes that normal people can wear down the high street and not the catwalk!


1. In at first place- Marc by Marc Jacobs. Inspired by dancers in rehearsals this collection was utter pared down perfection. If I had the money to buy the whole collection (or who am I kidding? Just one piece from the collection would make me so happy) I would. And I'd wear it non-stop all summer long. My favourite collection by miles.

2. Second place goes to YSL for the colours that just screamed "summer." I love the use of colour blocking for day and all black looks for night, all the while with high-waisted shorts to make the outfits even more chic and practical. One both for the tomboys and the girlie girls.

3. Last but not least- Erdem. You can always count on this label to deliver on the prints front and this collection was no exception. The cool digital prints infused with marine blues are gorgeous. And so wearable. Well, what did I tell you?

Prom review

Heute kommt der dritte und (vorerst) letzte Post zum Thema Abiball. Ich zeig euch hier die Outfits  der Abibälle auf denen Ich die letzten Jahre war. Mein persönlicher Favorit ist das Outift vom letzten Jahr. Ich liebe den Hut mit den Federn. 
Ein wenig stolz bin ich auf das selbstgenähte Kleid, welches ich 2008 anhatte. Aber leider wurde die Abifeier an diesem Abend abgesagt und somit habe ich es nur an diesem einen Abend kurz angehabt [vielleicht gibt es ja 2011 noch eine Gelegenheit ;) ].
Ansonsten finde ich, dass man bei TK Maxx und Lipsy London immer mal wieder schöne Cocktailkleider finden kann. Bei Schuhen und Taschen finde ich es immer etwas schwieriger ein passendes Pärchen zu finden, weshalb ich öfter mal selbst was (dran)"gebastelt" habe.

Here is the third and last part Post about proms. I show you all the proms I have been the last years. My personal fav is the one from last year. I love the hat with the feathers.
I am a bit proud of the self-sewn dress I wore 2008. Unfortunately the prom was cancelled and so I wore the dress just this one short evening [maybe there will be an opportunity in 2011 ;) ].
Besides I think you can find nice dress at TK Maxx or Lipsy London. Shoes and bag are a bigger problem. It's hard to find nice matching pairs, that's why I have improved the look of my shoes and bag by "tinkering" very often.
