Star-Style #6: Piret Järvis

Tere minu kallid,

star-style #6 on Febuary 6 what an accident, isn't it? Since I don't believe in accidents, no it isn't. In honor to Piret Järvis' 31st birthday I have concluded that it is finally the best time to post the Fall4Me star-style article also about her since she is nearly my number one idol.

What is special about Piret? Or rather what makes her stand out like this to be my number one idol in this plenty of special people on each point of the world? After we shouldn't be so superficial to like a person just for its looks and the character and qualities of a person isn't written on its forehead.
I admit I do not know her in person but I can identify with Piret very well for what she does and (of course) with her style to which I want to refer in the following. How I got to notice her in the end in the first place was her smile and her eyes. In my opinion Piret is the girl with the most beautiful smile and eyes in the world.

Let's have a close look at one of Piret's outfits:

Did something come to your mind? ...May I lend a hand?

Unplanned! I swear it! 

Maybe you noticed now but I would like to explain it in my own words once again. I have known Piret now for at least half of my life (or even longer). Apart from her smile and her eyes I feel a certain special connection to her as you saw now. She is known to always comebine something rocky in her casual city chic or elegant ladylike looks which underlines her good taste for fashion and (personal) style. She has always been behind this style but just like me she further developed her personal style more elegant, classy and feminine inspired by the 60s, 80s and 90s with a kickass lipstick as a personal distinguished mark. 

I admit that there was a little period where I let her be and didn't follow her as much but I am happy to see that she still went her way and that we obviously are going the same way and share a pretty equal taste in things.

I wish my angel and idol from my most favorite music band Vanilla Ninja all the best from the bottom of my heart on her special day.

You Have No Idea What I'm Bearing Inside Me

Bonjour mes chers,

you have no idea what I'm bearing inside me when it's getting... hot or cold. Either way I'm bearing power, either way I'm bearing luck, either way - in both extrems - I am reminded of my way to not drift apart when stones are laid into my way.

All they see is a beautiful, fashion-confident doll. But they question her competence.

All they perceive is a sweet obedient young lady with a voice of gold. But they doubt on her assertiveness.

All they do is giving her advices and talking to her in an insistent tone of voice. But they refuse to listen to her and understand her.

Here is her message to you. You'll see me and I'll show you and then we will see how the colors will turn.

Huge thanks to Miu Nails & Wellness for the heartful service and precise work.

Confessions Of The Super-Shopaholic

Ciao belli,

Oops...  did it again! But twice in a year you may raid the shops.

The super-shopaholic knows especially when to shop: At the end of January when you can get high quality items from luxurious labels for lowest prizes and still look like a million dollar baby.
After all the super-shopaholic's philosphy is: "Why buying something now if you know you can get it later much cheaper?"
The super-shopaholic has friends in every regular store to enjoy some extra discount.
Even the super-shopaholic has a certain dresscode: Comfortable but chic shoes and a big bag which she hangs over her shoulder because she needs both hands and some more.
The super-shopaholic isn't an egoist but she lives in her own time-zone.

So much to the super-shopaholic now I would like to know what you think of le new in:

A running gag: I change my bag every week during the semester. I wonder who noticed until now.

Most Beautiful Patriot

Tere kallid!

Home is where your heart is. Motherland is where you have buried your most beautiful memories...

If you ask my friends, school mates and teachers where I come from they'll answer you: Estonia! But don't worry, since January I can say the same about every fashionable girl since the colors of January are made by Estonia.

The new year begins with a deep strong blue within black and white that symbolizes positive signs like trust, harmony and peace and prepares us for more than we can expect and imagine.

One thing for sure is that bright times are awaiting and may it be just as dark. The darkness is overcome with the pure melody of blue.

Because Estonia has sang itself to freedom and independence in the coldness of February.

The Black Among The Blacks

Hello sweet people,

what a silly title today, isn't it? No? Then you certainly have at least an idea what it means to be the one among the ones.

Our winter dresscode at work at the brand s.Oliver for the weekend is black. After all black suits everyone, black is beautiful and black is the color of winter. Good that we are free in the choice of our accessories or else I wouldn't have had an interesting look and story to show and tell you for much longer since me and my photographer can't meet and shoot every day especially not in this period of elections, exam-phase, cold winter, etc...
Apart from that there have been so many black looks and black stories I have presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you and presented you. (F*ck it, I wear a lot of black!)

So for another black look and black story (since we met right after work) I've had to find the outfit among the outfits. Suitable for three hours of standing work, warm enough for winter, elegant and hip for a cocktail night with my best friend afterwards and the reaction was by each one of my black dressed colleagues: "Wow, wow Madame! You look hot!". It went so far that even on my way to work a man who left the store already ran back to open and hold the door for me.

And if you reached this point you might wonder how I did it. But if you have followed and known me long enough you know that I did it as usual with my love towards the detail. This may lead you to the fact that I am probably indeed a typical woman. But on the other hand this is what makes me a woman. I pay attention on the little things. I take every detail serious and I put little things first and significant.
This makes me the one among the ones.

A Mercedes Is Not Replaceable By Anything

Hi dears,

trust me, I've missed you so much! But January always is a tough time. Especially this year because of the elections of the Hamburg parliament and as you know I am as well a candidate. However I must not neglect university and moreover not you. So I have decided to take you to one of my journeies I have been on just yesterday.

I accompanied my parents to the Mercedes Benz establishment of Hamburg. The place where I spent a major time of my childhood changed just like the simple Nokia 6310 to a smartphone. I literally shook my head and had to take a second look at the huge building in the Friedrich-Ebert-Damm. But my surprise was definitely of positivity. This is one of the moments when I would laugh brightly about myself because I love building of glass to be honest just as the little houses that remind you of a village.

The inside hardly changed - in comparison to the outside. However they renewed the lounge and café where I allowed myself some quality that looked like hot chocolate offered by the kind service that the most admired and luxury car-company of Germany offers you.

New Look & Me - A Lovestory

Hello my dears,

do you know the feeling that you decide to learn from your stupid mistakes but then when the moment comes you kind og repeat it and get angry about the situation and yourself? Welcome to the club.

It has been about two years now that I have discovered and started shopping at New Look - which you can find at the left side of the cass on the third floor of the department store Karstadt in the city center of Hamburg - and still it looks like I never learn from my mistakes. The sales there are a dream, so are the clothes - no surprise I as regular customer closed friendship with the outfit advisor there - I at New Look I always find something. I think it is my store because it underlines my style and meanwhile it is dominating my closet.
It is quality, famous and - as mentioned - not that expensive. I could spend hours there talking to my friend and check the clothes.

But there it goes: Girls, honestly, don't we all know have experienced the mother-daughter fashion-conflict about buying something or not? My mother always complains about my picks (that you always love about me). She finds them very old fashioned or sometimes too childish or boyish. Two days ago however she realizes that they are trend items and encourages me to buy them. But the sales at New Look are gone by one blink if you don't reserve them.
So I did but sadly not long enough since this time my mother remembered the rule that if you spend money in the beginning of a week or month you will only go losing it on the day when I wanted to go and buy them.

On the next day I went to re-collect my picks to buy them I firstly just found one things, this denim shirt which has a soft touch.

Because I firstly couldn't find my other picks anymore I have decided to have a look around the shop again hoping I would find something new and maybe even better and I indeed found a pair of amazing high-heels! So even if I didn't have to worry about my NYE outfit anymore it couldn't improve my mood since I was sad about the loss of a red blouse and a flower scarf.

I am talking about this chiffon blouse which (as you see) was also awailable in this damped dark green - which I also liked in the beginning but I preferred the red one over this one since I've decided to just buy one of them. Since I couldn't find the red one I - more or less forced - bought this in the end which is also special and by one part completes my closet. I found this one again at the third look.

After I did my shopping (more or less contented). I went to say goodbye to my friend and wish her all the best for the new year then on a table I have found the scarf I was sad about and it was indeed it! So I grabbed it and rushed back to buy it. My luck for the end of the year: My new favorite scarf. My best friend has the twin-version of it. I loved it already when I saw it on her.
