Hello my beloved readership,

knit and wool for summer is more popular than one might think at the first sight. Therefore the next skirt of the season is the wool-skirt. See the style here.

There is a lot you can learn from Princess Catherine: may it be the way she treats her children in public, so smile contagiously like she does, in means of fashion and taking certain decisions.

For almost a decade, the passed ten years, I have found myself in a heavy struggle that has been tearing me apart. Forgiving, keeping on trying, being empathetic on the one hand and slamming the doors and keeping them shut with the power of my whole body on the other hand for the sake of what really matters. I have to be honest, while I thought that with my husband I had finally overcome to doubt myself the worst was yet to come (not because of him of course). I doubted all my actions and almost lost myself (and as much as this my sound melodramatic it was real). I do not say that my actions were always right or good but what I had to bear was much worse than that. At least I answered for my actions, apologizing, accommodating these people, finding solutions. That was what I was simply about trying everything instead of giving up. I told my stories, I asked for advice and collected points-of-view through different experiences and backgrounds. I was struggling because I was thinking that it would be wrong to cut the connection completely. How was it possible that everyone was apparently finding a way but we did not. Also I did not feel right about it. Trust me, I was allowed to expressions going from being a fool to a wrong Samaritan for bad with a Stockholm-syndrome rather hurting myself and harming my family instead of setting healthy boundaries.

I felt of it to be a duty for me to build peace by any chance – not necessarily excusing things but not letting them get too much to my heart. I had faith in me that I could bear that. But last autumn enough was more than enough – you can find the connection to the story here. No, no and again no and never ever again. While I tried to becalm myself that this step was not wrong and that it was okay and everything was fine about and with this finally it was a documentary about the Princess of Wales that gave me the answer I had been looking for to the question that had been torturing me for so long. It is going to close the door for people when they have harmed you and do not feel any kind of shame or guilt at all. Especially when you know that you have way worse and heavier burden on your shoulders. It is not a sign of fail but a common decision for the personal greater good.

Trend: Yellow Jewelry

Let the bright sun shine again in and on you with silver jewelry embracing yellow gemstones. Forget about gold, white-gold/silver or rose-gold. Besides from heart-jewelry spreading the statement of peace and love yellow jewelry is ruling on ears, necks, arms and fingers of women who want to add the certain something to their looks. It does not only need to be the bag, sunglasses or a make-up to make an outfit eye-catching. Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” taught us that you are most enchanting with eye-catching jewelry with gemstones when wearing an elegant black outfit. My person choice when to the moon-shaped earrings I got from my aunt.

Trend: Wool-Skirt

Knit and wool in summer are not only popular and fashionable they are meanwhile an established basic just as a scarf on a lady’s handbag. You never go wrong wearing knit or wool in summer or the hot season, especially with the treacherous breezes that can happen from one minute to the other. Summer in the city or “concrete jungle” as Alicia Keys beautifully named them in her song “(Empire State of Mind) New York” are simply different than summer at the beach. At the beach you know it is hot and the summer coming with the sea is agreeable yet even there wool is a good choice. You can either pic a two-piece-complete outfit or make a fierce combination of two different styles.
