Fashion Blogger Feel-Good Week Inspirations in July 2017!

1. Photography and creating new posts with fashion magazines, books on architecture, creative paper by Pepinpress and various accessories (outfits from left to right by Marella and Marco de Vinzenco)



2. Spending Saturdays at Ikeas which is always inspiring as you can see in my photos. This time it has been really exciting as, by accident, we met the founder of Ikea who just wanted to visit one of his stores.




I have completely fallen in love with this amazing tapestry and I am really thinking about buying one. It is like bringing summer into your apartments.





So, Ikea is always a wonderful feel-good place but you have always been careful not to spend too much money…

3. Creating more posts with some of my favorite looks and outfits by Marella.





4. Taking a look towards the fall/winter fashion trends 2017. The photoshoot with Stefanie Giesinger in the Cosmopolitan August edition has been a real inspiration for me. I couldn’t stop myself from bringing her amazing outfits into my post. One of my favorites is the Marni outfit on the left. The combination of colors and chequered, zigzag and striped patterns is amazing.



5. Buying a new bike and riding it…On Monday we finally did it and I got my first Canyon bike and I am really proud. Since then, I am spending most of my time outside on my bike.  On a lovely summer day, a bike ride is the most important feel-good must have. Unluckily, it is raining today, so no Canyon today.





6. Another outfit post with Stefanie Giesinger. How do you like her Prada outfit in the middle?



I shot this outfit post on a hotter day. The sun and the warmth do inspire me those posts dominated by the sunlight, green and fresh colors. I particularly loved the Marella dress on the left worn by Miranda Kerr.



This post is my favorite of the week. I need to have the red outfit by Steffen Schraut from the fall/winter collection. The combination with the white tie-neck blouse is wonderful. I am really starting to become a fan of red…



7. Making photo shoots outside or in unusual places…I have had different guided tours during the past few days and I often take fashion magazines with me as the atmosphere in the old town where I live is often so amazing, in particular, when the sun is coming out. I shot the Isabel Marant outfit in the old Orangerie. I love how perfectly the colors, materials, patterns, forms and the sunlight interact with one another in this post.







8. Trying something new…this week one of our walls went from white to black and I really love it. I got this inspiration during my last trip to Bregenz as we were having coffee in this very minimalistic café which is attached to the Kunsthaus Bregenz. The whole café is painted in black and I loved this atmosphere of simplicity that has been created by the color. With the huge windows, it is the perfect combination of light and darkness…timeless and modern at the same time…



9. Again two more inspirational posts. This time I have worked a lot with my new fashion books by Raf Simons and Rick Owens…I particularly like the gingham check of the men’s shirt and of the model.







10. Going to the museum…Francfort has to offer a large variety of great museums and one of my favorites is the Städel. Apart from the fact that the building is impressive it often has some of the greatest exhibitions to offer. At the moment it is about Photography becoming an art which is a real source of inspiration for anyone addicted to art, fashion, and photography.









Now you know a lot about how I have spent my fashion-blogger feel-good week. I hope you could get some inspiration for yourself and I would love to hear some things about your perfect feel-good week. What do you do? What’s your favorite activity? Where do you get your ideas…?
It is about 3 pm in the afternoon and now it is time for some action. Enjoy the rest of your days and do not forget to come back soon. Thank you for that and do not forget to enjoy some fashionable moments and to be happy.
Hugs and kisses, Maritine!
