Hello my beloved readership,

what matters this season is a colorful autumn. Choose whatever color pleases you and what color you feel like. Check out my lilac-version here.

As an extroverted feeler in the first place you can be a lot: wanting to impress or being a people pleaser because somehow deep inside you feel the need to. No wanting to criticize it or meaning to say that there is something wrong about it. I myself am one of these people who believe in humankind and approach it each day anew. But also I came to my limits and recognized my boundaries. Not because I am not fit enough anymore to keep on. I felt safe focusing on my extroverted energy because I felt (and have been feeling safe) with my devoted and loving husband always supporting me and having my back. But as perfect as something may be everything needs care and recharge. Furthermore especially in the passed years I realized how venom and awful the majority of people, even the apparently closest people can be and I slowly came to the conclusion why? What for? And throughout these people there has always been the same circle of people who caught me when I was falling: in the first place, my family, the one I founded on my own with my husband.

As much as you can, as much as it is necessary – usually I grew up hating the way of thinking “give as much as you receive” but I realized it does not have to concern everyone and that things can be measured differently but with the same value. And whatever happens: Family and furthermore your partner first. That was a learning I had (how could it be any different) from my fellow introverts (especially one certain) who inspired me all way through and especially in these means. Commitment needs dedication and dedication means care. You can end up risking your safe place when you are giving too much to the outside thinking inside it works anyway but you will realize that your actual place of refuge is also the happy place you never want to miss. It is also some kind of loving, tender energizer for yourself. This closeness grown from your unity and the unbreakable bond are something more than worth proudly demonstration. Your blossom will never fade.

“Be as colourful from head to toe this festive season as much as you can even leaving grey out”

Trend: Colors

That last weekend of November which contained an unexpected trip to the Mosel-region after I said that this year I am definitely not going to travel there – no one would have done that if you had been emotionally killed almost by a maniac. If you need it more precisely this article here will help out. But what you do not do for your dearly beloved father-in-law’s round birthday? It was the best decision in my life to not have missed it and emotionally it had given me more than I could have ever hoped for. Well, people say that you should get dressed-up only for yourself but it is even more fun to look bombastic towards people who cannot stand you, making them see how fine you actually are, and people who appreciate it from their heart. My nail art here was a part of this admiration, too. Anyway I turned my stay into a real catwalk presenting fashion by my favorite Estonian fashion label Tallinn Dolls, with whom I have had an interview here. The first day a green velvet dress, the in the evening a red dress with a big bow and the arrival in their signature polka-dot dress. In the end I matched my lilac dress to the gem-stones of Idar-Oberstein which you can read about here. I chose grey tights, even though you could have as well made an all lilac look from it, turning colour into the front line as a an opposite to the actual trend of autumn here. In fact, be as colourful from head to toe this festive season as much as you can even leaving grey out.
