Rome, London, Munich and Paris II

Of course it's not enough just to see photos of those beautiful cities. Super important is where to stay, wine and dine, shop and of course 'what to wear'?

In London you will see million of different styles...Rock chic, hipsters, classy looks. I like to wear casual outfits during the day like boots, leggings/jeans and eye-catching jewellery/sunglasses. But in the evening Londoners are definitely dressed up.

Cardigan Zadig & Voltaire 364 , Shirt by Alexander Wang 74€,

Boots Jimmy Choo 795€ (everything over mytheresa.com)
   Sunglasses Miu Miu  240€                     




Rome - Roman men really have a good taste, maybe influenced by all the Italian designers. From Armani to Zucchelli. They are slightly suntanned, most in suits or casual jeans with a perfectly fitting shirt, classy shoes and the most important accessoire for both, men and women: sunglasses! The women in Rome are dressed really feminine. Form-fitting dresses, high heels and (of course) Italian designer bags.

Paris...I love Paris' streetstyle, Parisian women radiate this special kind of elegance. They know what 'being classy' means and have a feeling for fashion. From cute to très chic.
