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!
