before I come to todays post I want to send memories to everyone who lost a friend, mate, family member or generally dear one during the horrifying happenings of 9/11. I think everyone of us still feels the shock as a cold shiver when the news and pictures from the reports reached us. May it not happen again.
Cool, hard and shiny we continue and open a new chapter in the world of fashion: the autumn/winter 14/15 season with all eyes on our hands or rather nails. The trendy metallic nails of the season are so lustrous that it isn't possible to not look at them. That doesn't automatically mean to just concentrate on the average lustrous colors gold or silver but any color.
Let's rock the season.
Nails by Miu Nails & Wellness, huge thanks once again for the heartful service and excellent work!
first of all I would like to thank you once again for the sweet birthday wishes on my last blog post and instagram. It made me very happy that you've passed by and dedicated me some minutes.
As you have probably seen I got Lana Del Rey's latest album titled "Ultraviolence" for my birthday, and that's how you look when you unpack a gift and suddenly hold Lana Del Rey's album in your hands:
Lana Del Rey formally known as Elizabeth Grant has developped to a commonly known person in the last two years as a fashion icon with her rather unique and remarkable 60s/70s style and her as unique and remarkable music style: calm and deep like the ocean.
I highly cherish LDR in fashion as in music since I am like her into both. She and I share an equal fashion taste and apart from that I appreciate her because she always keeps loyal to her music style and writes all her songs by herself so in other words she isn't a "plastic" singer. I really liked her from the first time I heard her on a fashion show and loved her more and more. Personally I also prefer self-written songs since I know from own experience that there are 200% feelings in it and it shows that the singer is an as well capable musician. So it is with Lana's new album...
If you follow Lana Del Rey's personal life or rather biography you can relate to the twelve titles, their lyrics and hidden messages. You can feel the pain the artist went through and the strength of these calm sounding songs and the strength in every word despite her angel's voice.
So according to my feedback to the album every song of the album was - just as it was with her first album "Born To Die" - agreeable and to my complete liking. My personal favorites however are after a hard choice "Shades Of Cool", "Brooklyn Baby" and "West Coast" (Radio Mix).
I simply love the coolness of the titles and think that these three songs stand out most with their melody and rhythm. About "Brooklyn Baby" I love especially the lyrics of the chorus. Another song I find special is "F*cked My Way Up To The Top" because of what LDR once revealed about her.
September 1st is certainly an internationally important date to save since it is the day when the second World War began in 1933 and so it became the International Day of Piece. Apart from that it's the first day of the new (or first) year of school in most of the countries which makes pupils and parents very excited and overly proud. Last but not least it is the beginning of a new month which is special for a plenty of people.
For me the special thing about September 1st is my birthday. Every moment on that day is a moment of joy and excitement for me as it is probably usual for a birthday child.
I always feel it as a complete blessing to see who remembers me on my special day along with the touching words and wonderful wishes. As you know I belong to the group of people who overly love surprises which is always guaranteed in a birthday... but let my smile speak for me.
As every year I have celebrated it, this year in the circle of my closest ones I have allowed myself some quality time in our noblest restaurant in Hamburg the Alsterpavillion ALEX. That ahead in the night my family was the first to congratulate and sing for me and we welcomed my birthday with a proud bottle. During the day my brother surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers packed in my most favorite color purple.
Thanks to everyone who made my birthday also this year unforgettable and joyful. Thank you for remembering me on my special day and adding your part into my feelings of bless and happiness. I got birthday wishes among others from my favorite singers which made me absolutely freak out of happiness.
And naturally every birthday girl deserves the perfect look: Mine was my dream hair and my most favorite (fashion) colors.
some are amused with it, some others are possibly annoyed with it, but most of you are familiar with it, the so called ALS ice bucket challenge, which is following you not only all over the social networks such as Facebook or Instagram but also all over the media in television and other reports.
For those who haven't heard about it at all here is a little explanation:
So, the background and main reason of the ice bucket challenge is to raise money and fight against the A(myotrophic)L(ateral)S(clerosis) disease.
The procedure works the following way: If you get nominated for the ice bucket challenge you have to act within 24 hours and either donate or film yourself making the ice bucket challenge and nominate three other people. The best way to spread the word about this and reach as many people as possible is, of course, the internet or furthermore social networks.
What is most criticized most about the videos is the self-aggrendizement of the people illustrating themselves in the videos. Easily it can be thought that the main reason is forgotten. However, I have to disagree with this criticism since firstly many people film themselves donating and secondly that many people do both refering to the donation in their videos. So you can't generalize this criticism.
The best thing about this way of fighting a sickness is that it combines fun with charity and connects people all over the world. The ice bucket challenge reaches everyone also famous people. My most favorite celebrity-challenges were those of Katsuhiro Harada, Victoria Beckham and Garik Papoyan.
And among all these people the challenge has also reached me. And naturally I have done both. Watch my videos below:
My conclusion is that the water was rather refreshing than cold and I felt great afterwards especially behind the background why I did it.
As a blogger from Germany and German representative I can as well suggest you to transfer money to the following direction because ALS is everywhere and needs to be fought everywhere: Kasse der Charite Berliner Sparkasse IBAN: DE53100500001270005550 BIC: BELADEBEXXX

Good evening my beloved readership and very special greetings to my male readers,
today I have something very special for you - even though I hope that every blog post is special in its own way to you. At this point - referring to the title of today's post - I would like to make a clear announce that men shouldn't hold the bag of their sweetheart, it is neither cute nor a sign of politeness because a bag is an essential part of your look whereas a man isn't.
In Germany the weather makes it already noticible: Fall is coming and along with it winter follows. As my friend said she already packed out her winter coat. Also I am packing essentials for the coming season today and my best partner to assist me is the US-American men's dress shirt brand Paul Fredrick along with its Autumn/Winter 14/15 collection which will soon be launched. You can already have a look in their online store - which offers free shipping.
For both - men and women - fashion autumn and winter is completely new interpreted this year. We have been used to mediterranean colors of earth and nature in autumn und shades of black and grey in combination with red in winter. But this year autumn and winter play together as well as men's and women's fashion. We don't have a transition in fashion which passes over from the warm to the dark colors. The season begins gloomy and cold.
My personal highlight about this year's season is that the colors may be still damped but they are very strong shining through the essential colors of nature you find in the cold seasons such as khaki or grey.
Something else you mustn't got without this season are sensual floral prints which give every viewer and wearer the effect of a strong cold shiver. What I am most amazed of is that most favorite colors purple and blue are the dominating ones in this season.
Special thanks to Paul Fredrick and the entire team!
So, what do you think of the new trends? We'll meet son with more of them.
