Bye summer, Hello autumn

We shot these outfit pics a few weeks ago.. It was one of those days, where I completely forgot that autumn was already present, so we were all enjoying the last sunny and warm days of the year.

Great day to visit our weekly food market in the middle of the city.

I am wearing-->

Jacket: Cool n`colours

Scarf: 19 Andrea`s 47

Top: Closed

Pants: AG Jeans

Bag: Windsor

Shoes: Fratelli Rosetti

All these brands are available at Gränicher Urban fashion in Lucerne

Have a nice week!

Rainy summer? 4 things to lighten up an ordinary day!

This year`s summer in Europe, especially in Switzerland, does not deserve to be called summer... Clouds, rain and huge puddles, shape our ordinary day. The clever ones flew to more or less close and warm places, the others are stuck in this dark plight, caused by our so called "summer".
So am I. And because of that, I decided to show you 4 things, which enrich my ordinary, cold summer day.


1. The colourful wellies:

I just love wellies! (or gumboots or however you call`em :) And I love them even more, when they appear in a loud pink or green! Spotted at a Navyboot store in Switzerland or online: navyboot.com

2. The fun case:

Yay, I finally found the coolest and most fashionable cases for my iPhone! You wanna transform your phone into a fancy nail polish or into your favourite perfume? Sure, Iphoria made it possible!

4. A little sarcasm a day keeps the doctor away:

This sweater is perfect for a moody, rainy day and we can only hope that this saying will conjure many smiles on peoples faces when passing by! ;)

4. Show me your fingers:

When visiting my favourite european city of all time, London, I got myself some fancy nailstickers from topshop. Bored of always applying a red or black polish, this method of a different nail design is very easy to do and just look super cute!

Have a "non-rainy" summer and loads of sunshine in your hearts! :)

Spa souvenirs from PRAGUE

I spent the last weekend in Prague, where I, apart from experiencing its impressive culture&arts, did quite a lot of shopping. Well, the prices might be a tiny bit different to our prices here in Switzerland but the diversity and exclusivity of the shops are pretty striking too.

So I found this very lovely shop called Manufaktura, where they mainly sell interior, as well as Spa stuff to very affordable prices! 

First I bought this hand-cream including minerals and trace from the Dead Sea, which has beneficial effects for the entire organism, it says. When first using it, I immediately realised that my hands are much softer but still not too moist (cause thats what I usually really disgust when using regular hand-cream)

The second item is a hair mask, again produced out of Dead Sea minerals, which I just used when coming back from my trip. My hair is now really soft and they smell very pleasant but again not too intensive. 

Cause I am such a candle weirdo, I cannot walk by such a nice baby, so I placed it right next to my bed and it looks really classy, I believe! 

The last item is something I have always wanted to try out: A gel-mask for eyes. It may be applied in the form of hot and cold compress and really calms and relaxes tired eyes. It also reduces swelling and supports blood circulations and alleviates headache. I tried it out and it is soooo relaxing and seriously felt like I am at a professional Spa. :)

So if you will visit Prague once, check out this beautifully decorated shop! 

Have a lovely and sunny week,

Let the game begin

Boyish, brutal or just kinky?

Well yes, but also pretty addictive with an impressive storyline and very strong actors!

When my boyfriend, who is an absolute series junkie, recommended me The Game of Thrones, I never thought I am ever going to like this. Except for Harry Potter, I`ve never been a fantasy fan and I could not imagine watching "such crap". 

So he used his persuasion skills and I decided to watch the very first episode, with the intention not to watch further on but.. OH BOY. All the "GoT" watchers out there will secretly laugh now, cause as you may have guessed already, I watched the second one, the third one, fourth and so on.. Trapped in an addictive "GoT" spiral, I watched every single episode, every youtube clip with the actors talking about their role, read every single interview I could possibly find and I even started dreaming and raging about the incidents.. Well, I guess thats called an addiction. 

I cannot stop raving about the series and I do not even know what exactly it is what makes it so special. Its certainly not the slaughtering, not those many sex scenes, not the dragons or all the other weird creatures that appear, I am just so impressed by the idea of writing (filming) such a great story for years and years and still being able to capture such a big and diverse audience. 

So if you are not already a GoT watcher/reader, I hope with this post, to prove that you do not have to be a fantasy fan to like this series, I can just encourage you to watch the very first episode without prejudices and see what it will provoke inside you! :)

All the best,

COME SUMMER, COME!

Hey everyone!

My finals are almost over and summer is finally about to start here in Switzerland. Since I am taking a gap year, I really hope I get more time to write on the Walk Of Frame and to start new, exciting projects!
Soon, you`ll find my blog on Facebook, where you can easily detect all new updates and posts while surfing through social media. Especially for those people not using google and gmail, this new adaption is pretty cushy :)



Every new summer also brings new trends to us, so I assembled a few of those summer "must-owns" for 2014!

1. Birkenstock sandals:
Heidi Klum secretly knew, when subscribing for the Birkenstock commercial yeeeeears ago, that those shoes are going to be a huge trend sometime! So yes, their time has finally arrived! This summer is all about comfy shoes. And I must admit, combined to a long hippie dress or jeans shorts, those shoes are a fantastic companion for summer 2014.

 2. Tinted sunglasses
Had a long night, even a little hangover? Well, here you go! Cover your eyes with colourful tinted sunglasses and look fabulous at the same time!

 3. Hippie-flower-hair-band:
What should I say about this? It just looks soo romantic and mellow, perfect for a quite summer evening with friends or on a festival. Those bands are available almost everywhere, yesterday I just detected a really nice and affordable one at H&M. Check it out!

 4. The "Two in one sunscreen":
Cause I have a pretty light skin and I get sunburned just so easily, I just HAVE TO USE sunscreen. So I found this pretty awesome one, which includes carotin (from carrots obviously ;) ) and this tans your skin while enjoying the sun. ( I am not really a biology or chemistry expert, but google is, so just look it up if you want to know more about it!) ;)
But be careful, it only has a very low sun protection, maybe you`ll fin another one with a higher protection but I have to say I am really happy with this one.

Hope you all have a relaxed and fashionable summer!

THINK before INK

Hey Guys,

I have always been a huge tattoo fan! I love the idea that your body states a piece of "art", which you can easily garnish and decorate. Yeah, "easy" to get one, but it`s also a fact, that it is even harder (and painful!) to get rid of it if you do not like anymore...

Additionally, I believe that a tattoo should always have a special meaning to you. Just getting a random one was never my intention! So, about 5 years ago I started doing some research, looking at hundreds of pictures on Pinterest of celebrities and bloggers who have a tattoo, where they have it and what font they used. So I was really THINKING BEFORE INKING!

I totally fell in love with Andy`s lovely little "Smile" tattoo she got on her rib cage. (This is actually her own handwriting btw! Very lovely I think!) Since this placement is apparently very easy to cover, if the tattoo wouldnt be suitable for an event or whatever, I decided to get one there as well! 

Cause, I am about to finish school in a few weeks, I decided to "mark off" this event in my life by getting a tattoo, which will always remind me of that time.. 

What it will look like and what message I gonna carry for the rest of my life, is my little secret for now! ;)

But I`ll assure you, there are pictures coming sooner than you think! :)

Have a lovely, sunny afternoon!

It is all about the belly!

I always like to exclaim that fashion is pure recycling! Trends come and go, but you can be sure that it will return sometime. This exactly happened with belly t-shirts, which used to be a huge trend during the 90s! 

And lo and behold, it is THE number one trend for the upcoming summer! 

however... this trend is, unfortunately, only for really skinny girls with a trained body.. Otherwise, this trend looks very fast, very bitchy and tacky. 

It is certainly not the easiest trend to style, but if you do it right, a crop top can look very sexy and sophisticated at the same time! 

I personally love the diversity of this trend! Combined to simple jeans or a little dress, it can really look fabulous. Additonally, those tops vary from sleeve length, pattern,  to how much skin you want to show off. 

If you a bit shy concerning this trend, start off with one that only shows a little strip of your skin, other bolder ones can absolutely go wild with this trend!

Here are some excellent examples of the brand new collection of Zara. I already bought two of those and I cannot wait for the weather to change and to show it off! :)

No,No! NO-GO!

Hi all!

It is getting warmer and sunnier, birds chirping, flowers and trees blossoming.. and so our clothes! Fresh and bright colours replace boring black and grey and more and more layers stay at home! Finally! 

Finally? uuhm? Cause, this equally means more fashion crimes get committed.. You think you are not one of those? Wait for it: 

Today I was wandering through the city, not thinking about anything but then... SHOCK!

The fashion crime police spotted its first victim of the year! A not very skinny girl, wearing jeans shorts with half-transparent tights AND the crotch of them in the middle of her thighs.. OH MY..

I must say, those crotches are one of the things the fashion industry really could get rid of! And once in a while, I catch myself trying desperately to cover these crotches. But I have never seen something like this before.. 

I know its hard, I especially find it hard to find the perfect pair of tights, but always, ALWAYS check your outfit before leaving the house, if you are wearing a dangerous dress or shorts determinate to show off crotches!

Have a very lovely evening and enjoy the sun!

The last sunbeams

I got such a great response from you guys, regarding my first outfit shots! Thank you so much!

So, I decided to now post outfit pictures on a regular basis. I hope with all my heart, that my style creates new inspirations and ideas for a lot of you guys and that these can lighten up your days! :)

Todays outfit has been my favorite for the last few weeks! I am so in love with my leather skirt, which I got from San Francisco last year. So my white button-up blouse. ( Which I think is a MUST-OWN for every woman these days)

My black shoulder bag was actually a very affordable one, but I hope that one day, I can treat myself an original, classic Chanel bag ;)

Oh and my absolute favorite, which you will see in a lot on future outfit pictures, are my black over knees, which are just the comfiest and warmest accessory ever! 

Hope you like it guys!

All the best,

Chasing away the winterdarkness

Some of my friends have asked me to share some outfit pictures with you guys on my blog. At the beginning, I felt quite overwhelmed about this request but I thought a lot about it and I guess if this might be an inspiration for you and for your daily outfits, I am more than happy to show you some of my favourite looks! :) 

This outfit is a perfect one to chase away the winter darkness with some flowery prints and colours. But still, its quite freezing outside, so I am wearing a comfy grey sweater. 

My newest acquisition is my black fake fur jacket, which I wear almost every day! 

Really hope you like it guys! If you do so, just leave a comment behind, to get even more outfit posts! :)

Trenchcoats, totally trenchant!

 WELCOME BACK good old trenchcoat! 

I am so in love with these two outfits by Michael Kors! Just because they are so sustainable and never out of fashion. 

So if you own such a lovely coat , never never never (!) give it away, even if you think you are absolutely not gonna wear it again! Recently my mum confessed, that she gave away a blue-marine trench coat exactly because she thought it was out of fashion.. Fashion is never going out of fashion! Keep your stuff, one day it is going to be "in" again! Promise! :)

Mustard, canary or lemon?

WOW! This year starts of colorful! NR.1 trend color this up-coming season is, not to overlook, YELLOW!

It seems, that no other color causes such great controversy among people. (maybe apart from green..)

I have to admit, I always thought this color best suits more naturally tanned girls with chocolate brown or dark hair.. I am obviously quite the opposite... blonde, blue eyes and the "darkest" I get in summer is with a sunburn(!) So as I heard of this trend, I was not about to jump for joy, but so I looked closer at some catwalk photos, especially at the combination of the color with fabrics or accessories. 

In the first picture, the designer has combined a fringy yellow skirt with a light black and white spotted blouse. In the choice of the shoes, we again detect black and yellow. A very clever and classic look! I also would not go with big, massive jewelry, rather a little black shoulder bag. 

This second picture is a more classy and glamorous outfit but it definitely shows, that yellow can also be very suited for a gala dinner, for instance. Here, I would again pick a black clutch to perfect this beautiful dress.  

Oh and look! These two models are blondes and fair-skinned, as I am! ;)

So I would say, just go for it! Maybe start of with a bag or a lovely pair of sandals. But I truly believe, it would suit almost everyone!

All the best,

This year.. I promise...

Usually, I am not that kind of person, who sets crazy and almost impossible New Year`s resolution to achieve during a new year.. However, this year I decided to finally kick my own butt!
(and yes, it started pretty well!)
Here are some of the goals I set myself:

-doing Yoga or Pilates on a regular basis
-stop eating between the meals (like crisps or other evil stuff...)
-stop drinking soda
-go to the Gym more often and get a defined body for bikini season
-stop spending money on nail refills
-Stop spending money on clothes or shoes I already have

So these are quite a lot of goals, I know.. But since this is the second week of the new year, I`am doing pretty good!
I have been to the Gym twice a week, I only drink water, didnt buy new clothes(!) and I declared crisps to be my worst enemy!
What about you? You have any goals you wanted to achieve? And what are your motivations to do so?


Now off to a great 2014!
