Glitter, Glamour, Gorgeous

It’s the most glamorous month of the year, and everything normally considered “over the top” or “too much” is not only appreciated, it’s a must. When you hear the first tunes of Mariah Carey yodeling to the jingling sound of bells it’s time to run and undust the sequin dresses, polish the über-big jewellery and put any modesty on hold: it’s December for glamour’s sake!

I personally can’t wait to hear my family laugh and sqeak when I start my annual competition to outshine the christmas tree, as a sucker for sparkles, I can’t wait to have a decent reason to look like a discoball on acid. So, just to get me in the mood I decorated a little today, popped some champagne in advance (glistening fluid: my best, where have you been for so long), and threw myself a little pre-christmas party, with the best attendees ever! Well, to me that looks all gorgeous. Bring on Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is Youuuuuuuuu”. And by that I mean at least one more pair of glittering heels!

Although the Dutch tend to clog almost every European Highway with their campers when going on holiday, they also like to spend their vacation in so called Center Parks: agglomerates of look-alike bungalows in the middle of nowhere with the charm of leftover 80ies commune attached. A place for pulled up socks in Adidas flip flops rather than decent inches and therefor an absolute no-to-go for moi. I thought.

Because in February, when the weather is as mournful as the sight of someone sporting shower sandals as decent footwear, 1.000 hipsters gather at exactly that place to celebrate for three days and nights. DJ’s, music, art, fashion, the art of being and celebrating yourself and with others and anything, EVERYTHING goes! If only I knew, but next year: Next year I will bring my very own inflatable plastic palm tree, a matching parrot and definitely those flip flops.

Won’t happen again that I’m almost breaking my legs in that slippery bitch of a poolside while dancing wildly to 80ies music.

Obessions of December

Heaven on earth is (besides my favorite heels dealer) a small place in Bavaria where I always spend Christmas with my family. And every year December is the month to prepare to go there: for the gifts - to give away, and the ones Santa might bring (aka heels, high heels, peeptoes, pumps?).

Of utter importance are also the outfits (and footwear) to shine in (neatly arranged for every day to avoid confusion due to alarming consumption of champagne). The fake lashes I plan to glue perfectly, the glittery manicure to impress with, that sparkling party dress. I never manage to actually sport any of the above because I always end up dancing wildly with the kids, still in my PJ’s, to “What the Fox says”, have a fish to fillet or a duck to unbone for the festive meal (there goes the nail polish), and who cares about the perfect blow out, or shiny dress when you can cuddle with the family in front of the fire anyway.

But yeah. December is all about that glitter (wish list) and the gold: reality. As in gratitude, modesty, and happiness. And that MUST HAVE Chanel purse of course (see above).
Have a happy end of the year everyone!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

"Wake up, wake up" my nephew squeals, "Santa has already been in the house!" Drowsily I open one eye, only to be almost blinded by my sparkling heels which are already waiting to shine for the big night. Right! It's Christmas today, and the kids must have discovered the tree the adults had decorated (a dear tradition which we celebrate on the night of the 23rd). The house is already buzzing like a beehive. Mom is fumbling in the kitchen (rattling pots and dinner is already smelling delicious), lovely sis (already in festive clothes and haha! can you believe it: heels!) has decorated everything with glitter, cookies and biscuits (there goes my tight outfit).

Before everything will go quiet (aka everybody waiting for the bell to ring so we can storm into the living room) the kids will be taken outside for a Xmas walk, my brother in law will pop champagne, the grandparents will arrange the presents, and BF will shake his head with a mild smile at this bunch of crazy (and very excited) Austrians. But hello! It's Christmas Eve, it's family (read all hugs and kisses) and am loving everything, even tradition of croaking Christmas songs together.

I hope you'll all be enjoying the celebrations as well, being kind for one another, and never forgetting the most perfect gift: a happy smile (OK, the odd heel counts too.)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Boy, Oh Boy!

Saturday morning, yawn-yawn, stretch-stretch, still half asleep you swing one leg out of bed and right into... well, who ever expected the word "heels" now: wrong!

After boyfriend jeans, boyfriend blazer, boyfriend brouges, the tomboy-style continues to be trending, and this time we face the revival of the loafers. I still know them as "Aristo-Slippers" (aka worn by elderly guys, teamed up with a bath robe and overweight), coming in velvet and with a family monogram. Not sexy really. But since Alexa Chung declared her love (which is so unfair: what kind of flats do NOT look good when your legs go on forever?): they are hot and everywhere.

Being a big fan myself of the boyfriend style (saves so much money to invest in heels), I am actually willing to give the new IT pieces a try. Can't resist a glittery shoe anyway, and must admit: combined with oversized men's shirt and messy hair (kinda stole that look from BF too), is not so bad.

Boy, oh boy, am now tempted to continue on "male trip" and start practising to pee while standing. Or grow a full mustache. It's almost Movember after all, and plucking is like sooo girly.
