What is happening?

Hola everyone.

Soooo, first of all. Did you notice the change of the design? I know it’s not that much, just the colors and the fond but I really really like it. I think it’s simple and refreshing. Also, I love the colorful streets of Copenhagen, as you can see in the header. Oh and besides that, the blog domain is working and I couldn’t be happier. It’s so strange to have my own little website now, but the good kind of it.

.

Anyways, I’m really happy with everything and just wanted to inform you guys about the things I’m up to next week. So, as many of you probably know, I am attending the Berlin Fashion Week next week. And yes, that’s freaking unbelievable, I KNOW. And it’s already starting on Monday, with a conference by a magazine and – and now hold your horses –  VOGUE. I am going crazy, not even kidding. The editor-in-chief of the german Vogue, Christiane Arp, will be there too. I seriously can’t believe this is happening. And I’m so excited. To be there. To see all of these cool people and journalists and designers. And to learn and experience what it feels like to work in this field, the field I want to call mine when I’m older. Holy moly.

.

Unfortunately I will have to come back from my fashion heaven on Friday again and I’m really sorry but this will be the first time you’ll hear something from me again from today on. I know, why the hell am I doing that? I know this is very exciting and not just for me, but the internet situation is really complicated here in Berlin for me and I won’t get back to my office before Friday so keeping you posted is close to be ing impossible. But please don’t loose all hope just now, because I will actually be posting stuff and keeping you guys updated on my Instagram page (link: instagram). Like post pictures of my outfits, which yes are very important. I’ve worked on them since I got the invitation. And tell you what is going on an post pics of the venues and of course the clothes there. And I know I sound like on of those internet people that are like “go do this, do that, subscribe to me, follow me”, but in all seriousness, I’d love to be able to tell you guys what’s going on and reach as much of you as I can.

.

So, there you have it. Actually, I just want to fully experience the next week, as much of it as I can. Because this is a huge thing for me, seriously. And I don’t know when I’ll be able to attend another Fashion Week again, so I want to enjoy it as much as I can. Just me and my camera. And a whole lot of other things that will be waiting there for me.

.

I really hope that you aren’t too mad at me, I’m really sorry. And I hope you still enjoyed this post. I’ll “see” you again next Friday. Thanks for being here. I wish you all an amazing weekend. And as always, thanks for reading. x

.

Ps: this is also my 100st post and I can’t believe it. This is so crazy. When I started this blog I didn’t know what would happen. Maybe I would stop enjoying this after like one month, but here we are, 100 postings later. I want to thank you guys for being here, reading my posts and giving me the chance to share all the things I love with the world. You are amazing. Thank you. And here’s to hundred more (and more and more and more and more…)

Merry Christmas

Hola everyone.

How are you guys? I hope you are all doing as good as me. And yes, I’m having an amazing time. First of all, it’s freaking Christmas. The days you spend time with your loved ones, your family, your friends. And it’s all about doing good, having fun, being happy and spreading love. How couldn’t you be happy at this time? And also, I am home. Finally. God, I’m so happy. But guys, if any of you aren’t as lucky as me – I know holidays aren’t always the easiest time – please know that I am always here for you and that you are strong an loved.

.

Actually, I just again wanted to wish you guys an amazing festive time with your family and friends. And that you have a lot of fun. And feel the love. And receive great presents. And just feel entirely happy.

.

I’m not sure if any of you want to know how I spent Christmas Eve, but maybe you are like me and really care about that, so I’ll just give you guys a short summary.

.

My Christmas

So, it kind of started with me finishing up the presents for my parents, which I actually love. Like, don’t you just love decorating presents and wrapping them into a christmas paper and putting them under the tree and seeing how all the colors fit and everything sparkles? Because I certainly do.

.

And after that we drove to grandmas where the family met up, like every year. Which I enjoyed so freaking much. I didn’t get to see them for over two whole months, so I loved meeting up with them again.

.

The hours went by so quickly and then it was already time for us to leave and drive back again to celebrate Christmas at home. Honestly, I had nothing to wish for this year. Because I already have everything I need and even more. More than I could have ever wished for. And me being at home with my family was the biggest gift ever. But as my parents are the best ever, they still got me some more stuff:

  • a book with 366 questions for me to answer every year for three years so I can see my development when it’s finished, which is so dreamy and cute and something that is so perfect for me and fits me like nothing else
  • a subscription for one whole year for one of my most favorite fashion magazines (yey, another thing I can look forward to every month)
  • a beautiful card – of course – and a small notebook for my to-do-lists, which I REALLY needed
  • and an Amazon Echo, which is a supercool speaker that thinks and learns and pretty much does whatever I tell it to do – like play music, so it’s again perfect for me

.

And after opening the presents, it was already like 11 pm and we shortly decided to end the evening by cuddling on the couch. Actually we put on the first Harry Potter movie, so it couldn’t have been any better. Oh and I also took some pictures throughout the whole day. As always the best ones are right at the end of the post. Please enjoy.

.

So yeah, that was my Christmas Eve with my family. But the christmassy mood is still on, of course. I’d really love to here what you did this year, so don’t hesitate to hit me up. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post, and Merry Christmas again and as always, thanks for reading. x

 

About Ray

Hola everyone.

I know it’s late. Very late, to be honest. But I didn’t have any time to write today, it was horrible. And after work I had to go christmas presents shopping and then I had to make myself some food and now I’m here. Anyways, I just wanna apologize for being so late.

.

I know you all probably expect a post about my weekend with my mum, but I thought I’d postpone that to Friday and tell you about a certain part of our time. To be exact, the day we went to the cinema and watched one of the most special and beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. And as you can all see at the title, I’m talking about the masterpiece “About Ray”.

.

Let me first tell you what the movie is all about. About Ray is about a girl or boy, who feels like she’s / he’s born in the wrong body. Since she was just four years old, Ramona felt like something about her just didn’t feel right. Fast forward to Ray, now 16 years old and desperate to start the gender transition. But exactly that, his age, is the problem. It means that he needs his family to be okay with loosing their daughter/granddaughter. Not to mention that his grandma still thinks that Ray should just be gay.

.

I guess you guys can already sense the drama and all the emotions. And I can tell you, there A LOT of emotions. Beginning with Ray, who just wants a normal life, a normal family. Then his mother, who never thought that she would loose Ramona so fast. And Rays grandma Dodo and her girlfriend Honey, who even live all under one roof. Oh and let’s not forget his dad, who left when he was just a little baby and now has to sign one of the most important papers of Rays life.

.

If you’re asking yourself, yes, I cried. Many times. And I had to stop myself, for real. The movie gave me such an urge to fully cry, the loud, sobbing, heartbreaking type of cry. And I think mum did too.

.

Apart from the unique and amazing story, the movie is turned into something perfect by the fascinating camera work – it’s actually more like some kind of art, so damn amazing – and of course the breathtaking actors. Elle Fanning is so real in her role as Ray and Naomi Watts as the mother is just mind-blowing. Mum said that she could really feel how hard she tried to let her daughter go and welcome her son. It was kinda heartbreaking, to be honest. Because of both sides, Rays and his mums. Oh and probably too because I watched it with my mum and this movie is all about mothers and daughters/sons.

.

I asked my mum later on if she would accept it if I told her that I felt like I lived a lie and wanted to change my gender completely. She said yes. And I am thankful for that. Because it is for sure a hard thing to say, even if it’s just hypothetically.

.

All in all, the movie About Ray was everything I expected it to be and so much more. I loved every second of it, even when it broke my heart. I think that’s the kind of story and movie everyone should get to know and see. Because it’s such an important and recent topic. So guys, I can really just recommend this movie to all of you. If you have the chance, please go and watch it. Please. And if any of you have seen it, what do you think about it? Did you like it as much as me? Tell me. And until then, sorry again for being so late, I hope you still enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

I’m attending freaking fashion week

Hola everyone.

Oh my god. Yes, you did read that right. Yes, it’s true. Yes, it’s really happening. No, I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am. And I’m not sure if I ever will.

.

But let’s go back right to the beginning. So, it all when I was sitting at work and looked up some upcoming events and then I saw it. There it was. The date I had never expected to come up. Three glorious days full of fashion, lifestyle and stars. The Berlin Fashion Week.You can probably guess that I nearly had a heart attack, but that one didn’t even come any close to the one I nearly had later on

.

So, while staring at the date I was like “hey, why not just apply with my own blog”. So I did. And seriously, I wasn’t expecting much. Mostly because- like it said on the website – you have to cover fashion topics all over the year. And be like prominent in the fashion scene. And my blog isn’t like just a fashion blog, as most of you probably know. I mean, of course fashion is a huge topic in my life, probably one of the biggest ones, but still.

.

But I still applied. And then I waited. And after five days I slowly got concerned. But somehow it was okay, because there was still some hope left inside me. And last week, on Friday, before getting on the bus to fly home, I saw it. The email basically screamed at me. And then I wanted to scream. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There it was. My personal ticket and invitation for the fashion week in Berlin. I had such a huge urge to cry, seriously. I was soooooo damn happy. Oh my god. And I still can’t believe it.

.

This is like the biggest dream ever. This is exactly what I want to do when I grow up. I want to do that for work. I want this to be my job. And this is like my first step into it. And I couldn’t be any happier. I’m already worried about what I’ll wear, seriously. If any of you have an idea what I could wear, please tell me. Really.

.

So yeah, that’s the biggest news of probably the whole month (besides christmas). Oh and if you’re curious, the two days at home were amazing. I loved being at home again. Anyway, I’m superduperexcited right now and I don’t really know what to do with my life anymore and with all my excitement and happiness, but yeah. I hope you enjoyed this post and as always, thanks for reading. x
