Is it really May? Or am I mixing up seasons? Recently it's been so freaking hot outside that the only way to bear is dressing as airy as possible. Or to daze yourself like I did:



I actually stole those beauties from our agency's reception counter yesterday night as nobody will enjoy them over the weekend.

My little dear still needs a name. I'd like to hand that over. Do you have ideas?

Bra (oops, normally I don't show it off): H&M.
Shoes: Vintage, thrifted.

I'm feeling blue, so blue.

I've got a hangover, girls. Drank far too much beer yesterday night. That's what made me look decent while boozing – at least.

Funny old men: Jon Bon Jovi.

Girls, guess what, the dinner yesterday night turned out to be huge fun. Me and C. entered the massively crowded "Cuneo" and got seated somewhere in the cosy back of the restaurant which is located quite around Reeperbahn. I made myself comfortable and when I had a look around the place I noticed that I was sitting face to face with Jon Bon Jovi. Him plus an entire entourage had dinner there the table next to ours and the whole sitaution reminded me a little of "The Sopranos". All of them where terribly bad dressed and kind of yelling and joking around all the time. They boozed a lot of red wine and plyed with their iPhones and mobiles also like the whole time. Me and my boyfriend had nice meals and a lot of fun making jokes on those old men desperately trying to stay young.

Every now and then I caught them looking my way. Since I still wore yesterday's colourful arrangement.

That's what I wore today. Since the dress is so short I combined with a matching skirt.

And that's the shoes. Some Indian folkloristic shoes.

United colors of Dotti.

Please don't get a shock. I put on a little colour to balance all the grey which tried to dull Hamburg today. I considered it as my personal mission to be a little alarming, like the girls and boys in all those Benetton commercials, and wake up everybody around.
Well, I'm off now for dinner with my boyfriend. And of course I'm not going to tone down even a bit: not that he is going to fall asleep too early.



A little sugar cookie a nice colleague gave to me today. Again: what a perfect match with my tight and shoes.





I'm soo sorry. But I'm just in love with that scarf. It might appear here even more often.

Tube top: old Zara.
Tights, ballet flats and scarf: H&M.

Red velvet, pink satin and bananas.

Oh, Monday. All my lovely girls out there: I hope you had a better time than I had today. The only good news there was actually: My weekly "Grüne Kiste". A selection of organic vegetable, fruit, bread, eggs and milk which a lovely farmer's guy provides me with once a week – as poor me hardly has the time to do grocery shopping on the market. Sniff. Well, I tried to fight all the grey with the brightest colours I found.


And look, unpacking the delicious box already makes me smile a little.







That's what I found in there today. I'm gonna have a salad and a few episodes of "Six feet under" now.


My morning shot, with a matching glass of coffee. What a coincidence.

Compression of joy.

This weekend I have hardly seen the sun, had no stroll through the woods, not even an icecream. Poor me. So where will I get my recreation for the next load of a week from? I fear from a sachet containing a facial mask. Plus out of ten minutes of reading excitement.

Sorry there's nothing else I can show you today.


My favourite bed socks. They're really cosy.

Flowers ('sweet william' so I learned from the dictionary) from my boyfriend.

I had a little visitor today. But unfortunately nothing suitable to award her (or his) little excursion.
Bathrobe: The Ritz Carlton, gift from my ex-boyfriend.
Socks: Burlington: gift from my recent boyfriend.

The perfect murder.

I've got this pool down in the basement. It's so 70's, a bit spooky and I consider it the perfect location for a murder or at least the set for a movie or series like German "Tatort". That's why I hardly go there for swimming all on my own, I just used the sauna every now and then during the cold winter days. But isn't it still a cool location for my today's outfit shots?

P.S. Lovely Meri ennobled me with her "Inspiration of the week award" today. That's far too sweet of her.


Can you see the scar on my right calf. That's all what's left from my birthmark.

I adore the pattern of the dress.



Dress: of course Vintage, eBay.
Shirt: Benetton.
Ballet flats and hair bow: H&M.

Colourlessness or coolness?

What's it about today's outfit? It looks so colourless (eventhough I'm in love with the dress and its details: the houndstooth buttons and red piping), but this may be subjective. Since my day wasn't a big deal. I hardly managed the amount of work I wanted to and as there's a deadline on Monday my weekend is going to be everything else, but not a weekend. Damn. I'm going to make the best out of it. So let me start with rating this dress to be absolutely cool. Not pale.

Brownie.

Polka dots felt so familiar the day before yesterday that yesterday I quite automatically snatched for another of my dresses featuring my beloved ones. When the outfit was completed with all the brown and beige tones it rather reminded me of some Häagen-Dazs flavour. That’s why I added some colour instantly – afraid of my subconsciousness demanding for sweets all day long.

Polks Dots and Schnatterinchen.

I have the feeling that my past tries to get hold of me. Polka dots. For years I didn't wear anything not being polka dotted. – A tic or even trauma from my early childhood days, as my mother used to be a big fan of dots and everything in my surrounding had to consist of and be embellished by those. However, this popped up again when I was about to graduate from school and quite chased me through the past years. Meanwhile I use them a bit more moderate, but today was the day for a revival.



For some reason I brought Schnatterinchen along. Maybe to balance the deer of the last post. Not that she might get jealous in the end.


I love the ruffles of the dress plus the swing feeling that sticks to it.

I combined the dress with a wrapped cardigan since there was some icy wind today – but where did that come from?


That's how I started this day: in my boyfriend's shirt plus muesli with banana and coffee plus sunshine on the balcony.
