Aaand here we go with the fourth and the last day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin. Honestly? I was kind of sad when the last show was over. The four days were fabulous, lovely, wonderful, hectic, painful (heels!), hazy. I enjoyed the shows, the beautiful people, and the wine! Of course I enjoyed the wine. So after this first experience, I can only express hope that it's not the last! OK, now, who will hire me as a (fashion) journalist?! :)

Weekend Reads #29

I'm working really hard today to deliver all the fashion news from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, both to you nice people reading the blog (if this is your first time here, welcome! Great to see you!), and Plezir Magazin, which basically enabled me to attend the #MBFWB as an accredited journalist. But I do realize that fashion isn't and has never been the primary topic of this blog, so I'm not forgetting about you if you're not into it!! That's why I had to count in the time to publish this post. I hope you have a great weekend! (Yeah, I know it's halfway through, but with this schedule and a room this messy, as I haven't been able to spend time in it, can you blame me? Phew, thanks!)

#MBFWB Day 3

Day 3 of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin was so much fun! I spent it mostly running from one location to the other, sipping wine and eating nothing. No wonder people in fashion are skinny, there was free alcohol everywhere, before the shows, after the shows, but not a single bite could be found. Maybe all the alcohol makes you forget you're hungry.

#MBFWB Day 2

Firstly: I wanted to write about each day in the following night, like I did for Day 1, but obviously, I thought too high of myself. Fashion Week is actually quite exhausting, so coming home every night I only wanted to sleep, just to wake up the next morning and having to leave soon because of the first show of the day. Plus my computer is so infected with I DON'T KNOW WHAT that basically disables me to do anything on the Internet. I spent two hours yesterday trying to fix it, and I thought I had, but now it's back again. I think I'm gonna scream. :( 

On day 2 of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week I only had two shows to attend, so I decided to explore the other things connected to the Berlin Fashion Week, but not necessarily in cooperation with Mercedes-Benz. Not really sure what I’m talking about? Don’t worry, me neither, but the thing is there is this official Mercedes-Benz website, where you can also find info on NY, Istanbul and Sydney Fashion Weeks, because Mercedes-Benz is their sponsor. On the other hand, there is a Berlin Fashion Week website that offers other events as well.

#MBFW Berlin: Day 1 (And a Few Other Words)

{If you're interested only in the IVANMAN and VEKTOR shows, please scroll down, as I'll be sharing some personal insight into the whole me-at-the-Fashion-Week story that you might not be interested in. :) }

Step outside of the comfort zone, they said.

Take a leap of faith, they said.

So I did. I applied for a press accreditation for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin (which is a long name, so I'll keep referring to it as #MBFWB). 

First of all, I didn't want to apply at all. I just shared something about not standing a single chance on Twitter, and then a lovely lady that shares my love for fashion encouraged me to at least try. 

Six Months Later: Where I Am With My NY Resolutions

For those of you who don't know, last January I compiled a list of NY resolutions and published them here. I've always had those, but kept them to myself, and this, along with the fact that I'd constantly been an overachiever, might be the reason why I never accomplished them all (not even near!). So now I decided to keep it low and publish it, because then there's no back! 

Three months ago I posted an update, to allow both you and myself to keep track with my progress. It seems that publishing was a good thing, because I was doing good! That's why I'm also posting another update, half-way through the year. (I know, scary.)

Have you made any NY resolutions? How are you doing? Making effort, or did you already forget them? In that case, I hope this list of mine inspires you to take action. It's not too late! So, here's how I'm doing.

Hello there! 

Are you melting? Because I am. It's 37° C here in Germany (arrived yesterday) - it's 98.6° F and it's the worst. My room is on the west side of the building and I have no blinds or anything, plus days are so long at the moment that the afternoons are unbearable. No AC, of course! Funnily enough, this is probably as summery as it gets, because on Monday the temperature will drop 10° and then there will be one 30° day until the end of August. Sounds like a perfect reason to go to the lake today or tomorrow, right? ANYTHING that will get me out of this room.

How's your weekend? Here are the links for you to enjoy it a bit more ;)

Hello you! If you're here, it means that you're probably an internet junkie, because what on Earth brought you here otherwise? Sorry, just joking, I LOVE having you here and I'm really grateful you bumped into this online space of mine! :) What I wanted to say is, you've probably seen yesterday's BIG news, but I have to repeat it once again because it's just beyond awesome. Supreme Court of the US ruled that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage. Love Wins, and way to go, America!

Hey you people, has the summer begun where you are? We're sweating here. We're dying, the temperature exceeds 30 degrees (Celsius -- that's 86 in Murrica) every day, which is... I don't know, it's not normal in the beginning of June, right? I'm going back to Germany in several days and I hope it'd be easier to breathe there. Although I must admit I wouldn't appreciate the cooold summer like last year. I almost feel British right now: but yes I can talk about the weather all the time! Probably because I'm hard to please in this regard. Does the weather affect your mood as well??

I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but one week feels like much less than 7 days. Does that mean I'll be 30 in no time? I don't even want to think about it. To let my mind slip into some more pleasant musings, I'll just indulge in Weekend Reads. Have a nice one!
