to say that this event was AH-MAZING, is an understatement.

last saturday, 17 other bloggers and i went to Hamburg to attend the first ever H&M Blogger Workshop. i went there with my luggage full of high hopes and expectations. camera and iphone on hand! we were separated into four groups. each group with a professional stylist, photographer, model and make-up artist and was assigned different trends. we got the Indian Meets Jeans theme. YES! to give you an idea of how everything was like: it was like playing in your mom´s closet when you were young, JUST waaayyy better. we had the whole autumn/ fall collection 2011 on our disposal. LEATHER GOODNESS, i tell ya! we chose three outfits for Benta (who was such a star, btw!), got her all dolled up and shot away! while the other groups did their thing, we all had a little talk about blogging and H&M. it was fun hearing Mau, Josi, Dustin, Olive , Jan and Oliver share their stories!

all in all, the event was a big learning experience for me. from styling, photography, make-up to blogging! all my expectations were met. DEFINITELY.
huge shoutout to the COOLEST, BESTEST PR Agent ever! Jerome you rock my socks off!
i flew back home today with a lot of stories, new friends and knowledge on my bag!

i can´t wait for the next workshop to happen.
god knows how many pictures one blogpost can hold, so WATCH OUT for the next one!

hey guys!
i told you that i will incorporate my summer must haves in my blogposts now and then!
so as promised, here goes!
leather slingbags are definitely a MUST for me.
i need a small purse for my wallet, iphone, cigarettes and small digicam.
without these, i feel lifeless.
last week i thrifted this gorgeous longchamp slingbag and went home happy!
so when Anne from Gutschein Codes offered to buy me something for 50 bucks for my summer must have, i immediately browsed Topshop´s bag corner.
lo and behold, the medium leather buckle satchel was waiting just for me!
it arrived two days ago and i LOVE it.
go see for yourself!
can you sense that i can´t get enough of these kinds of bags?

hey lovelies!
i wish i made more photos from this night.
such a long time since i have enjoyed a party so much.
we danced like mad.
we drank like mad.
and our feet hurt like mad.
MAD is an understatement to describe that night.

anyways, die erste ausgabe von theblogettes ist jetzt online!
besonders gut gefallen hat mir die strecke die unschuld von pilatus.
all in all, eine coole idee!
danke an julia und mirjam.
