Hey Dolls, February is coming to it's end. Everyone is expecting the year's most amazing season: The summer! Well everyone except for the fashion industry. It's officially fashion week season. We watch shows, order and preview the new collections. London, Milan, Berlin, Paris and many more offer us some stunning looks. I visited the Munich Fashion Fair last weekend. It was a lot of fun! I met some amazing designers and spotted some pretty wonderful pieces. Besides my old favourites like RED Valentino and MM6 Martin Margiela (Both are going to be so incredible F/ W 2013/14! Guys, you'll love it, Margiela is a killer!), I was also lucky enough to meet some super talented new designers like the breathtaking Antonia Goy and her team. I fell in love with their creations and I will definitely do a post on the label for you guys soon. ;)
But for now let's talk a little more about the fashion week. One of my favourite shows? Marc Jacobs! That was one hot leg show! ;) Amazing. I love the fur creations and all the dark metallic. Marc also keeps up the 'pyjama trend' or how I call it, 'Hugh Hefner trend'. Can't deny, I adore it! That was a show I really enjoyed. Of course we had some hot Tom Ford, Fendi & Gucci in Milan as well. And now we are waiting for Paris. ;)
Last but not least I'm taking you on another little Munich Fashion Tour. Check out the work of our chicest stores: Window Fashion Show! ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! How does 2013 feel yet? I think it's amazing! A new year, a new beginning, new stories and people... obviously new trends. ;) Are you ready and excited? I AM!
The last big news from 2012? KIM KARDASHIAN IS PREGNANT WITH KANYE'S BABY! That is so wonderful. The new addition to the Kardashian clan gonna be a super stylish all Givenchy and Lanvin baby with amazing freestyle skills and really cool parents. BEST WISHES TO KIMYE! :*
So how did you guys spent the first night of the new year? According to the Chinese calendar it is the year of the snake. There is no better occasion to wear my beloved Anna Dello Russo for H&M snake bracelet. We had a beautiful fancy dinner and a great time! ;) I actually wanted to wear a dark green because you know... snake... dark green?! ;) But well I think there is only one very very luck bringing colour for a woman... RED! So I decided to wear my red Martin Margiela for H&M gown. It is a little difficult and all over the place, super avantgarde in the cut... sophisticated and perfect!
So hopefully this year will be full of life, love, health, happiness and amazing outfits!! ;) FOR ALL OF YOU!)))

Can you guys believe it? Another year is over! Well it pretty much is. For me it was definitely the most life changing one, a year I will always keep in mind for the rest of my life! ;) Best part? As usual the summer! Breathtaking.
I love the last days of the December: You kind of do so much thinking and come to your new year's resolutions. What are yours? I honestly don't really have that many... Just one thing... it's the same thing every year... Living every day to its fullest! ;) I wish you guys an amazing 31 December and an even greater 1 January. And may this year... make all your wishes come true! ;)
My last post this year? Fashion Favourites 2012!
I never wore sooo much black like this year. Never so much leather and so sick boots. The Kanye influence definitely showed up! ;) I'm definitely taking this "all black perfection" trend of mine, on my adventures in 2013. Black never goes out of fashion and so does simple feminine chic, add your essence of ghetto, grunge, glam and be your fabulous self girls. ;)
Oh and the last thing: THE shoe from 2012 will accompany us in the next year! The pointed metal toe heel a la Louis Vuitton, Gianvito Rossi & Prada etc... I love them, so sophisticated! Best look? Leather pants like Poppy Delevigne or a stunning dress like Camilla Belle... my favorite is the all black look Gwyneth Paltrow showed us! ;) If you don't feel like spending all of your Christmas money on the 800 euro LV Version, go for Zara! They have the it-heel on Christmas Sale. ;)
Super American, hot L.A. day, video games, pool parties and funky shopping trips ... that's what comes to my mind when I go through the collection of Lord&Lady Baltimore. The pieces are very extraordinary and by purchasing a shirt you feel like it's something super unique and individual. Towards the end of winter, we girls start to think about our summer wardrobe, right? ;) (OK I see it's December, but whatever ;)) I can totally imagine to style the shirts up sexily with ripped denim shorts, a boyish blazer and heels and down with cool shades and some leather leggings and loafers. I am in love with this idea and the Baltimore line!)) Guys, it's so worth to check it out!! Baltimore... what do you guys know about Baltimore, and why is that the name of street chic king Christian Audigier's new line? Well, it is a place where American history and poetry finds its milestone. Lord Baltimore George Calvert is known for seeking religious freedom and peace in the time of colonial rule in America. The spirit of art in Baltimore, Maryland was brought up by Edgar Allan Poe who spent many years of his life in the famous seaport city. Christian Audigier makes a link between the American dream and his American Dream, and with this line he strengthens our believe in it.
Shirts, caps, sneakers, bags, iPhone cases... the choice of products is super diversified and the quality speaks for itself. Lord Christian "Audigier-Baltimore" brings a royal touch in the hip street style of this century's It-girls&boys- So check it out and get inspired! ;)

Christmas is all around me... Oh I love how beautiful Munich is during the festive season! So traditional, chic and simply christmasy! ;) I love it when people make the effort to decorate the city in order to make everybody feel happy and content. What do you guys like to do in December? Shopping, chilling at home with our bro Kevin or hanging out in the city enjoying hot chocolate?))
I love it all! And yes New York IS the Nr. 1 metropolis in terms of Christmas Decoration (and basically everything else ;)), but I'd like to give you guys an idea of what Munich has to offer. Hope you guys like it & may you all feel the spirit of Christmas!! Love&Health&Happiness to all of you and may you have a great Christmas! ;)
So many looks we stole, so many hours we spent in cafes discussing the plot like it was a part of our life... so many joyful moments in front of the TV- 5 years of Gossip Girl! I remember exactly what I thought after the first episode. I was like "Seriously? AfterO.C. and Sex and the City, do you guys really think that this will last?" I ended up watching every episode at least 10 times and I spent hours on thefashionspot.com in order to check out the show's looks. Gossip Girl turned out to be the obsession of the decade! We got hooked. What is the secret ingredient of a hit show like this one? Boys & couture! There is no way to imagine the show without the glow of a Lady Dioror the shine of Nate Archibald's smile. How often did you say "All I want for Christmas is Chuck Bass"? You know it! ;) This show taught us how to channel our inner queen B or rockstar Jenny Humphrey. How many designers were introduced to the commercial market by Eric Daman? The genius behind the signature Gossip Girl style enriched my knowledge of fashion and took it to the next level. Andrew Gn, Jenny Packham, the glorious beauty of Marchesa Couture... that is all Gossip Girl. So for the sake of the end of an era... Here are my favourite looks: Epic! 1. Blair Waldorf:
I have to start with Queen B. To be honest I loved her right from the start. Yes, she was a manipulative b**** from time to time but she was also a great friend and unbeaten fashionista. Blair Waldorf is a masterpiece. I had no clue how to rock her wardrobe in the village called Munich. But the art of being "Queen B" is not only an Upper East Side myth. You can do it too. I remember reading about girls going crazy at Falke and Wolford in order to pimp their school uniforms with some luxurious colourful stockings and chic headbands. Guess who set the trend?
My beloved Blair... What were her most unforgettable fashion moments according to moi?
1. One dress I couldn't forget was... black... silk... ballet... showdown... breathtaking... Valentino! Imagine Cannes, Vincent Cassel, a bottle of Dom... and you - looking like Tchaikovsky's black swan. Blair accessorized it with Chuck and some sparkly Harry Winston. Perfection! A dress so dark and dramatic that only drama queen Blair could pull it off with such grace.
Season 1, B's Bday, episode 8:
2. I remember sitting in a chic restaurant during a hot summer day when I saw the first stills from Gossip Girl's fourth season: In PARIS! Can you believe my excitement being the greatest Parisian fanatic? ;) When I saw Blair looking sweeter than a Laduree macaron in this Moschino I knew exactly how to dress for my next holiday in the French capital.
Season 4, Paris adventures, episode 1:
3. Every fashion victim knows that a New York fashionista wears Marc by Marc. I know this look is very "unspectacular" for the Waldorf fashion circus but I think that Giorgio Armani was absolutely right when he claimed that a woman in all white is the ultimate embodiment of luxury. A look we will never forget: All white @ The annual Hamptons White Party. Thank you Marc Jacobs.
Season 2, hello Hamptons, episode 1:
Serena Van Der Woodsen:
I love Serena's style! I love one particular thing about it- The touch of 'too much'. Her skirts tend to be a little too short and her blond magnificent hair a little too bouncy: Super vamp Serena is the hottest girl in NYC. Every dude goes "OMG" when this gorgeous blond enters a room and every girl goes "OTB" (Oh that B****). I adore S and I always will, she has the ultimate killer closet, drop-dead Louboutins and the most beautiful love story with Lonely Boy (not so lonely anymore) Dan Humphrey.
1. The gold Pamela Dennis dress is a sensation in the history of TV fashion. It is so royal and baroque and yet so young and modern. It's perfect for Serena. The golden girl, princess in the gilded cage, the queen S... in a breathtaking gown only she could rock like this.
Season 1, S&D lovestory, episode 10:
2. You have to be the genius Ralph Lauren to combine something so soft and girly like a pastel yellow flower print with black statement details. When I first saw this dress I was like "Hold on it's either horrible or absolutely stunning, but I don't know it yet". Now I know: It's absolutely incredible, it's a dress like a Dali: It requires a moment of proper consideration...
Season 1, wedding, episode 18:
3. This dress... it made me cry. Or maybe it was it the scene? Anyway, it's brilliant! I have nothing more to say: Serena in Georges Chakra Wedding Couture marrying the love of her life. Dear George, no more Lanvin - I think I want to get married in a GC! ;)
Season 6, bye bye xoxo, episode 10:
Jenny Humphrey:
"Oh I don't like J, she's so annoying." You can love or hate that chick! But it's still an obsession. I love Little J. I mean , she's been through a lot. And most importantly: The CRAZIEST style evolution ever. The sweet talented 14 year old designer became the kind of girl who sits on Marilyn Manson's lap in his tour bus. There were certain looks she pulled off... which were to-die-for amazing! And as I love the lucky 7... I'd like to make this the "look to remember Nr.7"- Jenny in Andrew Gn.
This dress is the love of my... November 2009. A goddess in black! (Coat: Moschino)
Can you believe it's over? No more GG? Well we still have so many episodes to re-watch. ;)
My favourite moment is definitely the last scene of the final episode: Serena and Dan getting married! I love this house, seeing them all together one more time... oh and Georgina and Jack TOGETHER! PERFECT! You know what I loved the most: The song! They used the same track that was featured during the Sex and the City finale! We got the love! ;)
November. Can you believe it's November? I can't! I mean guys it feels like yesterday when I was chilling on the beach with a freshly squeezed juice and the august issue of Vogue Russia. You know these moments, when you're far away from home and everything feels so easy and you're absolutely carefree. I used that time to think about my future, university, career, dating... you know... stuff girls think about. ;) 3 months later, and I'm still not wiser. lol
So let's start... topics of this month:
1. Instagram: Ok, ok!! I'm loving Instagram. It's AWESOME! It's easy, creative, fun... and well check it out! ;) (Insta name: maisondemaria)
2. Xmas:...And now one more month... THAN CHRISTMAS! I'm such a Christmas fool, I adore it! I'm like buddy the Christmas elf. ;) This year it seems like I'm about to be a part of a huge Christmas party with my girls. You know, big Christmas tree, we all wear D&G A/ W 2010 kind of like Scandinavian chic sweaters (btw: No more D&G?! Post on that!), get wasted on punch till we can actually see Santa and his reindeers and exchange presents while it's snowing outside. "Oh dear" ... I know. ;) I'm sure it's gonna be a lot of fun. What are you planning?
3.Maison Martin Margiela for H&M:
Of course, there'll be a big post this Thursday! ;) The collection's a little... well... weird.))) But somehow I'm still super duper excited and I already found my Nr. Uno pieces... LOVE the silver dress and leggings!)) ...so stay updated. ;)
So from now on, I'll try to be much more active on my page, and I wish you guys a great week!
Check out a HUGE post about Christian Audigier's masterpiece Lord&Lady Baltimore tomorrow! ;)
