circle scarf

Yeah, and God bless American Apparel. I never knew how cool it is until I went to the store instead of just browsing online... It's amazing, really! When you see all those simple and not so simple things available in every color imaginable... And super stylish shop assistants :)
So I bought this circle scarf, which has like 12 ways to wear it, but I only used one, cause it was freaking cold, but I'm definitely gonna experiment with it in summer.

lost in Vienna
Originally uploaded by meutererin

That's what I was wearing when I arrived in Vienna on December, 7. Topshop coat, Dr Martens boots, Pimkie tote bag, Roxy jeans.
Apparently what I needed there was a giant puffer coat and winter high boots with fur.
Btw, a guy in Vienna asked me where I got the boots, which was pretty cool :)

Freaky winter coat

2009-02-17T00:26:00.002+03:00

Winter is definitely not my favourite season. It's cold, you have to wear a LOT of clothes, when going for a walk you spend more time getting dressed than actually walking, you are forever sweating and look huge in those winter coats, all bundled up... I always feel like a funny little penguin or a polar bear. Whatever. You know what I mean.
So, last winter was pretty cold I guess, or what else could have forced me to buy that huuuge knee-length black winter coat... Eww.. This year winter was milder (I do hope it's almost over now) or it's just because I don't have to spend time commuting anymore... Anyway, I was suffering in that coat until I found something less warm, and absolutely funky :) Those puffed shoulders and sky blue color stole my heart. Later I dyed my hairtips and fringe pink, and this actually worked only with this coat, cause this all was so crazy it looked good together.
Yay, I still feel like a penguin in it, but at least as a cute little penguin dyed pink and blue :) In this outfit winter is quite tolerable, huh?

High heels, high boots

2009-02-12T01:14:00.003+03:00

Last time I wanted to write about the dress.. or whatever it's called. I've been searching for something like this to wear with shirts and tees for a couple of years, just never saw the right thing (and that's not the right one, actually). Anyway, my craving grew stronger ever since I started watching Gossip Girl, which btw is now one of my most influential fashion inspirations. I just wish I could throw those outfits back at school/university.
Ok, I'm diversing. I found this dress at yet another teens' store - even the label on it says 'for girls'. I'm wearing it with all black, but some color won't hurt, especially some bright tights. With shiny leggings, high-heeled boots, and such length is kind of provocative, but not too much.
Leggings and boots combinations is also rather questionable. I just remembered I had those boots and wanted to try. I thought leather and whatever shiny material those leggings are made of would look good together. I guess I was right.

Shiny leggings

2009-02-10T01:13:00.002+03:00

I finally got my wet look leggings, and though they look not-so-wet as I hoped, I pretty much like them. So... I'm thinking of wearing them with short dresses/tunics and shorts (looks good, honestly!). Definitely not with mini-skirts. If I were skinny I'd also tried them with some long tee or maybe shirt... But I'm not :)
Yeah, and the shoes... That's actually the only pair of heels I have at work (I wonder why :) The leggings would've looked better with some black stilletos, which I definitely need (I'm searching for a perfect pair actually). I just adore these YSL opentoed platform heels.
The best thing I like about the leggings is the way they wrinkle at knees and ankles, I find it really cute :)
Next time time I'll write about the dress (I'm not sure how it's called properly)... Which btw looks perfect with the white shirt.

turquoise tights

2009-01-28T11:12:00.000+03:00

I bought yet another pair of colored tights and wanted to demonstrate them. And a short black dress is ideal for this purpose. I've blogged about it before, and I seriously love the way I look in it, and I'm not the only one who does ;) This look is all about legs, but to be honest I'm not so sure about this bold color... Not too flattering, really. But who cares?
Anyways, with the heels it looks perfect :)

E2O dress

2009-01-16T00:59:00.003+03:00

Unfortunately, I don't have good pics of this outfit (no offence, guys - I mean the dress, the sweater, etc ;) I'll just have to describe what I wanted to show.
So, what we have here is a black dress by Evgeny Ostrovskaya (who sometimes has amazing collections and sometimes just sucks). It's rather baggy, as you can surely see :) Maybe skinny gals can wear it without a belt, but I can't. The belt accentuates the waist (or defines in my case? - Whatever). I also have a blue polo neck sweater underneath the dress, cause it has a very low cut. Blue matches perfectly with turquoise tights. Plus brown-yellow-mint pumps to complete the look.

Gimme spring!

2009-01-12T01:31:00.001+03:00

Hey, everyone!
It's been freezing outside and I was feeling a little depressed about it, cause I couldn't get any decent shots. And then those holidays...
Anyways, those are some old pics when it was still possible to take off the coat... And a hoody... And a scarf... You can see them hanging on a tree :)
I think I've already written a couple of times about this blouse, but still - it's currently one of my favs. This is a somewhat casual look, with jeans and sneakers, but the blouse with lace and the belt add a feminine touch to it.

Perfect Pair (of Jeans)

2008-12-22T01:23:00.002+03:00

What can I say? No need to explain - a pair of great-fitting dark blue or black straight jeans should be an essential part of any wardrobe. I have a pair of Levi's Slim Fit. Jeans are about one thing - they must give you a great bum, right? Those certainly do. Plus they have an absolute perfect cut (for me at least) - not too tight, not too low, just fine.
And the open-shoulder thingy is lovely =)

PS: OK, I know - no pics of great bum. Sorry. Maybe next time. Believe me, it looks good. ;)

It can't rain forever

2008-12-19T01:56:00.001+03:00

This spring I was so sick and tired of my long black oh-so-warm winter coat that I definitely wanted something new - colorful, light and yet warm or at least covering the neck... This coat proved to be quite useful on rainy days, cause I forever forget or am too lazy to carry umbrella. And it has this adorable balloon cut, and a slightly retro look... I've worn this coat throughout the whole spring and then in autumn I got this Topshop coat... But rainy days still mean blue hooded coat.

Lace and Leather

2008-12-15T07:53:00.003+03:00

My husband inspired me to throw this look as a perfect way to dress for concerts. Lace and leather look weird together, but good weird :) Plus sort of post-punk Puma sneakers (mostly for jumping near the stage), which can be easily changed for a pair of high-heeled sandals.

The makeup on the second picture looks a bit funky - I was just bored... Experimenting... That was just for the concert and to take this picture anyway.
That day the concert was cancelled and we ended up on a birthday party, but it was still a great outfit ^^

Rain boots, RIP

2008-12-11T01:16:00.002+03:00

It's getting colder, but I still can't get used to wearing long sleeves... So short sleeved sweaters covering the neck are really my thing, enough to keep me warm in late autumn/ winter. I love the cut and especially the color.

This look also features my late rain boots, for which I harboured an unrequited love... We had short, but passionate relations. It was so much fun to splash and splosh in puddles with them on... And then they broke... :( Apparently, because I splashed and sploshed too much.

Lace blouse

2008-12-05T01:39:00.002+03:00

Bought a new, absolutely adorable lace shirt. It goes perfectly well with.. eh.. I guess everything :) I especially like it with puffed skirts and leather pants (later). This was the way I dressed up for Tiamat concert. Should have dressed down actually, but at least that was funny. I also like New Rock boots paired with a feminine light-as-feather skirt. And for the concert I also changed white tights for strippy over the knee socks and added cat ears - just for fun :)

Alice

2008-12-03T00:27:00.001+03:00

Was just trying to wear striped over the knee socks with something which would look funky, but not stupid :) Gee, that was tricky! Loved the result though. Plus it's warmer than in regular tights (once again wearing two skirts). Frankly speaking, that time it was more about getting a bunch of nice shots than about clothes. I wanted to get pictures of me lying on green grass with yellow autumn leaves dressed in something Alice-in-Wonderland-ish. Got them - photos were amazing! And I loved the look, too.

Black & Grey & Yellow and a Touch of Turquoise

2008-11-30T20:48:00.004+03:00

I loved the way my yellow leggings looked with lace tights, so I wanted to show more of them, cause my black pencil skirt was too long ;) I also like the combination of yellow/grey as much as yellow/black, so this striped black-and-grey dress is ideal for them. Horizontal stripes are not too flattering? Don't know, don't care.

Black & Yellow

2008-11-26T09:40:00.001+03:00

I've blogged about my cravings - lace tights and shiny leggings - long ago. I ordered American Apparel black leggings, but they'll be with/on me in a month... Meanwhile I've bought lace tights, and they are adorable :) Especially combined with dense colored tights, since it's rather cold now. I also love black/mustard yellow combination. I think it's almost the only way to wear yellow so it would look fab ;)

New Rock boots

2008-11-24T01:28:00.003+03:00

Ever since I've found these new rock boots i was dying to wear them with this short plaid skirt and fishnet stockings, but didn't know where to... They are too heavy and uncomfortable to party in them ) New rock boots are weird. I mean not the way they look. The thing is they are quite expensive and really uncomfortable. My husband also has a pair of them and feels the same way. And a lot of people wear them. And nobody -evvver- admits it. Are they all masochists or what???

Silver Corsage

2008-11-18T23:18:00.004+03:00

I was wondering whether I should post pics with these outfits here. They were shot at a studio. I don't normally dress like this, but hell, why not? I don't usually wear cat ears with a plaid short skirt and white socks either. I bought this corsage ages ago and still don't know what to do with it. I don't like the way it looks with shirts, and I don't often get a chance to wear it with nothing underneath ;) I could wear it to concerts, but the thought that I will NOT be the only freak always stops me ;) Torn stockings are entourage, so as the collar and the adorable sandals. I'm also wearing two skirts at a time, so they'd look more puffed ;)

Nerdish T-shirt

2008-11-13T16:55:00.002+03:00

Bought yet another pair of jeans at Topshop sale. They are soft, comfortable and I feel as if I've worn them for ages and those holes are real. It's not too cold for them yet, so I enjoy them as much as I can :) I like the way they look with high boots.
I also bought yet another nerdish T-shirt with robots. :) Not only because of a cute print, but because I love grey/pink combination and it has adorable baloon sleeves (not visible on a photo though, cause I was freezing).

Purple tights

2008-11-12T10:30:00.005+03:00

I'm not quite sure about this outfit, but I love short skirts and the way colored tights look with this one. Plus, I like to wear high boots with either tight jeans or short skirts. The longsleeve could be a little shorter though. And the purple tights are too bright, aren't they?
My husband's wearing a Kenvelo hoodie, Camelot pants and sneakers and a Pull and Bear scarf.

little cute dress

2008-11-10T16:10:00.002+03:00

Black dress does not require special introduction. Moreover, there's no need to tell that a black dress is an ideal basis for countless variations. I love to wear it with different leggings.

Military pants

2008-11-10T08:36:00.001+03:00

There are plenty of things in my wardrobe which I can't figure out what to wear with :) These military pants are one of those. Bought them ages ago. They look great with high boots and high-heeled shoes. But I don't have many blouses or shirts, and I see them combined with something feminine. T-shirts are good, but with them the pants look kind of boring. This blouse is one of the few, and it passes to practically everything.

Halloween

2008-11-04T10:43:00.002+03:00

On Halloween I was a cliché image of a Japanese school girl. Short checkered skirts, white socks, white shirt, you name it. Yeah, very creative, I know. I love this skirt, but my husband does not allow me to wear it to work, cause it’s too short (poor me, and poor everybody). And those sandals are real crazy, had almost no chance to wear them. Anyway, I thought they’d look quite funky together, with white socks and white shirt. Cat ears and paws are of course handmade ^^ I loved the look, too bad it’s too crazy to wear it “in real life”. I wish ears were a hot accessory %)

2008-11-03T16:19:00.005+03:00

I've fallen in love with this high-waisted skirts at the first sight. Together with a checkered shirt and chucks it looks wonderful.

I thought that in autumn weather with such jacket my skirt would look great, and I won't worry about cold.

Plaid dress

2008-10-31T12:20:00.005+03:00

My sis bought me this dress. I love it, but can't quite figure out what to wear it with. A black tee is not the best choice - white shirt looks better actually, but together with white tights make me look way too younger! I'm a little worried that the skirt is not quite flattering, but I guess it bothers only me. :)

Here I'm also showing off my boots :) I've found them in a second hand shop. I totally love the way they look.

Pacman tee

2008-10-29T17:35:00.003+03:00

Here we go again... This skirt has been hanging in my wardrobe for a long time. I've been wearing all through the last summer, a year before, with only one top, cause it does not look well with most T-shirts. And I couldn't find the right tights for it - it looks best with bare legs. I like it in this combination. And the shoes... I was looking for a couple of simple black flats, but then I saw these... You know the rest =) I absolutely love the color, and their form, and the fact that they are comfortable.

I've bought this basic black bolero cause I can't find any decent longsleeves and have too many funky tees (one of them is on me). I think it's a crime not to wear them only because I'm cold =)

2008-10-29T08:44:00.002+03:00

As you've already understood, eyewear is essential part of my wardrobe, almost like a black dress (which I'll show you later).

I've put on my mom's scarf and started to look older. I think so... I added D&G bag and now I'm ready to go to work!

Black Monday

2008-10-28T14:25:00.004+03:00

On Friday I was at Das Ich and Gothika concert, which btw was fantastic, and saw a handful of great-looking goths. These, and the bands were quite inspiring. Temporarily black is my color of choice :) Here I'm wearing my usual Monday tee and faux leather pants. I've been craving for a pair of leather pants since like childhood (no kiddin), but they are mostly a) expensive; b) high-waisted. At last I found these, which are neither. Yeah, I know, faux leather... But I and my bum feel great in them.

Btw, my dear photographers are pissed off about taking shots of black leather and blond hair on a sunny day. Sorry, guys, I was feeling a little goth :)

Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

2008-10-27T18:06:00.005+03:00

This look is somewhat Edgar Allan Poeish and gothic-inspired. The print on the T-shirt with the Raven looks almost like the background. I wanted wear this long skirt which has been hanging in my wardrobe for months, unattended. I took pity and chose a nice ensemble to go with it. Somehow it looked better with sneakers, not high heels. And I love the earrings. It's not always easy for me to choose them, cause my ears often hurt. But these are light and a real treat for my and everybody's eyes =)

hats and sunglasses

I have a thing for sunglasses and hats, so when i don't know what to add to a rather boring combination of grey skinny and a white t-shirt, i add a hat and sunglasses.

Camelot shoes

2008-10-25T17:22:00.004+04:00

Retro

2008-10-24T10:32:00.005+04:00

This is a retro-style Topshop dress, which I tried on just for fun when I was bored. It looked quite unremarkable on the hanger; I remember thinking: 'Who's wearing THAT?' But when I struggled into it, I immediately fell in love =) It's so weird and so cute... I'm wearing it with mint green vintage pumps, which look great but are reeeally uncomfortable.

Leggings and tights

2008-10-23T17:19:00.004+04:00

Currently I'm craving for a pair of black American Apparel shiny leggings, or these Topshop wetlook leggings, which should look awful on me, but are sooooo great on skinny girls. The same goes for over the knee socks. Lace tights/leggings should be OK, though... Saturday is shopping day =)

Puma sneakers

2008-10-22T10:12:00.003+04:00

These are my beloved Puma sneakers, which I bought on sale. They come with two sets of laces, purple and blue - so sweet of them =)
That's just a casual outfit I wear when I don't want/have no time to wreck my brains on what to wear.

I heart bags, but I don't like Mondays

2008-10-21T09:55:00.001+04:00

Here I am. This black tee says: 'I don't like Monday'. At least on Mondays I don't have to worry about what to wear to work. Funny thing, I've bought it in Germany in summer before my 4th year at university, and we didn't have lections on Mondays, so I didn't have a chance to wear it often. Now I wear it to work :) Thank God we don't have any dress code whatsoever.
I've bought this bag for grocery shopping. Trying to stop using plastic bags...
And on the second pic is my very best accessory/beloved husband. He's wearing custom-tailored flared breeches, custom-tailored high boots, Extra coat, Quicksilver hoody, Pull and Bear scarf, and Topman sunglasses.

Monday Tee

2008-10-20T23:13:00.000+04:00

Today I was gonna post pics in one of my favourive t-shirts, which says: I don't like monday. I am a fan of t-shirts with freaky prints, I have quite a large collection of them. But I failed to explain what is important in this look to my photographer, so what I got was a bunch of real great shots, but you can't read what's on the tee =)
Will post them first thing in the morning.

Not-So-Little Black Dress

2008-10-19T22:50:00.001+04:00

I love this dress. I can't say it's an essential part of wardrobe, but it's something I get into, when I want my mirror to say: Wow! Gee, you look great!
Just kiddin, my mirror doesn't talk to me. I do. =)
Anyways, it's black, tight, sort of strict, with its polo neck, and sexy. I usually wear it with colored tights/leggings so I won't look too serious, especially when I wear it to work (yay, that's weird).
