EVENT: FESTIVE SEASON - grand prix ball baden-baden 2016.

[en] hi peeps! within my festive season series today i want to show you some impressions of my first ball i have ever attended in baden-baden. i have visited the grand prix ball which took part in the time-honoured bénazet hall at the kurhaus casino within the baden-racing festival week on the 3rd of september.

it was a glamorous evening with a wonderful framework program, an amazing 4 course dinner, many of well-dressed people and a live swing band, which attracted the guests to the dancefloor.

furthermore all the guests got free entrance to the casino which was located in the same building. the guests were also given a red carpet welcome and it was an amazing feeling to walk across it with all the numerous spectators.

all female guests were gifted with an escada goody bag which included a voucher worth 200€ and a dusty blue wallet.

in my floor-length red lace dress i felt more than appropriately dressed.
yes, i definitely should have taken more pictures but my senses and synapses were too busy but also more than satisfied.

the next ball in baden-baden will take place on new years eve. prices range between 140€ - 180€. please click here for more details.
don't let the chance slip, it's worth it!

EVENT: impressions from the shoe step of the year 2015.

[en] hi peeps! today i want to show some impressions of the first event i have ever attended, the shoe step of the year 2015. it took place at the beautiful premises of the hotel atlantic kempinski in hamburg - also known as the permanent residence of german singer udo lindenberg. at the event one could spot different VIP's like catherine hummels, marcel remus or sabine lisicki and of course frauke ludowig, who presented the show. as in the previous years.
the shoe step of the year is a fashion journalist award dedicated to each years best fashion contributions focused on shoes.

i have participated with a blog post featuring impressions of a colourful outfit and red high heels and a statement about clothing and fitting shoes and how both in symbiosis can emphasize your individual character.

i could barely believe it when i checked my mails and saw that i really received an invitation to this years' shoe step of the year. i was so proud and happy and couldn't await it.
sadly i wasn't one of the nominees this year but the award winners have truly deserved it and i was honoured enough with the invitation and enjoyed a spectacular evening and the possibility to attend my first event. the award winners included the magazine women's health and blogs such as fashionlunch.de and zukkermaedchen.de.

i decided onto a grey wrap dress from paul costelloe with a low-cut neckline, a white mango blazer, two delicate golden necklaces, statement earrings, red lipstick and matching red bootees with metal details in gold.
