(some of ) the outfits

everything: the friends, the love story, the fashion, the end:)

Well, honestly these do not need further explanation, do they? They are all cute and express what we love most about the famous NYC-Quartett:)
I stumbled across this book when searching for some reading for my trip (I will tell you more about it later) in two weeks at my local library. And even though I am not usually a fan of such kind of books I looked at it and found these pictures so adorable I needed to share some! So here you go, hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

Lipstick personality(s)

When I was younger I enjoyed reading magazines already as much as I do today, especially the ones that came with those psychology-test. Such as: where will I meet new friends? Could I take care for a pet? etc. And then one day it said: What is your lipstick personality? I was curious, but at the time only the owner of one single lipstick, so that was not really representative. Anyways I read on and it said that the shape of your lipstick was according to your personality. Well, I forgot all about this funny little test, until very recently when I cleaned my dresser and took at a look at my favorite lipsticks. I now own a lot more than one... Anyways as I looked at them I noticed that in no way they were all in the same shape. That left me to wonder: Am I a lipstick-shizophrenic?
You know, since the shape determines your character, so I have different characters, because there are different shapes? I know that sounds weird, but as I thought about it today I figured it makes sense anyways. The shapes are different, because my "character" is different with every lipstick and its use. When I feel sweet and girly I will use the light pink Manhattan lipstick (first from the left). When I am going out and feel glamourous and like a diva, you will see mme with bright red lips (2nd from the left) and then there are the others. A dark rose for everyday, a bright pink for a pop of color and a coral for the days I want to upgrade my outfit into the "very stylish" zone.
You see, not one of them is representative for my whole self, but I guess from the contents of one´s make-up bag you can really tell something about the character!

Pastel colors everywhere

Lastest issue of InStyle/ Arizona Iced tea/ Bow: Forever 21/ Bracelets: Primark/ Cardigan: H&M/ Nail polish (left to right): essence "no more drama", Manhattan "35L", Revlon "85 Minted"/ Hair ties: some giveaway

So I went to pick up the latest copy of InStyle today, my monthly read, and also grapped some iced tea on my way. Later I noticed that the colors of both items matched my cardigan:) It is all about pastel colors now! Since it was really hot today I finally found out why pastel colors are just the perfect thing to wear now that summer is coming closer. My daily dose of pastel freshens me up and feels just like a spoon full of sorbet ice cream, kinda reminds me of that color too, right?
I would love to know, how you style pastel colors in your daily outfits! And also what are your must-reads each month?
Have a fab day, and hopefully you are able to enjoy some sun as well!

The Frieda Bag

The Carrie Diaries/ Close-ups/ Full view of the clutch

Have you read The Carrie Diaries? While this prequel novel focuses mostly on how our beloved Carrie came to our equally beloved NYC, it also gives some insights on her progressing of fashion understanding. One main accessoire in this shaping process is a bag from her mother, unfortunatly she spills some nail polish on it (readying herself for a date). While most of us would have just taken another nice bag, Carrie is convinved she needs this particular bag and therefore eagerly searches for a solution. Because she cannot get the nail polish off the bag she just uses some more nail polish to make the bag looked splattered and then puts her name on it. It now is the Carrie bag:)
While reading the novel I decided it would be nice to use this idea on one of my bags as well. So, I dug out this old clutch, which I haven´t been using lately, and used some nail polish to give it a new look. It now can be looked at as the Frieda bag! Oh, how much I like the idea of having a bag named after myself! That would be great fun!
Do you have an item you would like to be named after yourselves? Any DIY-ideas for more individual bags?
Have a good start into the week! Love, Frieda
P.S. My little bag project was done right after the release of the novel, so it was long before the first pictures from the set emerged. If you woud like to see how the crew and cast dealt with the idea of the Carrie bag, please look here. 

Lipstick Tales

                                   Manhattan lipstick: Glossy & Soft in the color 56S

Oh my gosh, how could a lipstick "be" more me?? This Manhattan Lipstick is so adorable! With its tiny polka dots and the big bow it really is a fashion statement. The glossy black adds some seriosity and the color of the lipstick itself is just the right kind of pink- Shiny and obvious, without being barbie or trashy. It is from the limited edition called Kiss Couture, and what else is there to say, it suits its name just right!
