AUTUMNAL FACE

Hello :) I'm back from Dubai/Abu Dhabi. Had an amazing time :) Met a lot of new people and soaked up endless sun. I'm really gutted to be back in the UK. I just love sunshine and beach. I definitely want to settle to a hot country... Not sure where yet but sunshine and beach just make me a happier person... :) A LOT HAPPIER!

My brother is here from Germany so we did a lot of sightseeing this weekend which was very tiring. Really wanted to chill this weekend but he wants to settle to the UK and I wanted to make his first days in the UK as fun as possible :)

I'm flying to Germany next week :) Back to my home town. Spend some time with family and meet up with friends. Can not wait :) Have an amazing Sunday evening... its now 21.20... aaa nooo :) Its 20.20. End of British summer time :) xxx Tugba

ONE LAST SUNSHINE

Hello boys and girls :) I can not tell you how excited I am for the weekend :) As mentioned in my last post I have to be for business Sunday in Abu Dhabi but a colleague and myself have decided to fly a bit earlier so we can spend the weekend in Dubai :) I'm flying tomorrow night and I will be chilling, sunbathing and partying the whole weekend :) 

I have only been once to Dubai for 2 days and I loved it :) I know some people do not like it at all because of the fakery. Totally understandable :) Especially if you compare to London where you have gorgeous old buildings and a lot of history. But you know what :) Sunshine, beach, delicious food, shopping and party can overcome all the fakery in Dubai :) oh and handsome men too for any of my single followers... 

I will leave you with an outfit of the day :) I will try and capture couple of summer outfits in Dubai :) Have a brilliant weekend when it comes xxx Tugba

BLING BLING

Hello :) Hope you are all doing well. Oh my...what a day :) Its been raining all day in London. Its dark, grey, rainy and cold. The winter is around the corner :-/ Hmm... I dont think Im ready yet. Luckily, I'm going on a business trip this week to Dubai and Abu Dhabi :) Yuppi!! Probably the last time I get to feel the sun on my skin. 

After an amazing and exhausting trip to Munich last weekend I have decided to chill this weekend. Yesterday, I did a bit DIY :) I dyed some clothes with Dylon Fabric Dye. Have you ever tried it? Some pieces turned really cool and some not so great :) But thats the risk you are taking when dying clothes. I've also turned a pair of cowboy boots that I bought from a charity shop while back into ankle boots. OMG.. they look amazing. I took some photos while doing it and I will blog about my mini DIY this week :)

On Friday I received a tweet from Asos Fashionfinder :) I won the Collegiate Fashion competition. Check it out here. How cool is that?? Not sure what I won but I won haha I love Asos Fashionfinder. You should definitely check it out and dont forget to follow me :)

I will leave you with a half outfit of the day :) The bottom part of my outfit was just a pair of jeans so nothing exciting but I loved the top part :) The bling bling necklace really pimped the outfit :) I just love chunky necklaces. I should do a necklace collection post :) I have loads of necklaces... a weakness I have. Would you be interested?

I wish you all an amazing Sunday :) I'm off to cook something :) JAMIEEE here I come. xxx Tugba

Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit

Hello :) I finally managed to blog. I really wanted to prepare a blog post before I went to Munich but unfortunately I was super busy. I came back on Monday from Munich but have been really sick. Feeling a bit better today and I will try and go back to work tomorrow. 

Anyway... Lets get back to Munich :) It was amazing. We went to the Oktoberfest on Friday and partied the rest of the weekend in Munich. Monday it was all about sightseeing :) We did a sightseeing bike tour and it was pretty cool. Have you every been to the Oktoberfest? I'm definitely going again next year :) How about Munich? Any of my readers from Munich?

I will leave you with an outfit of the day from last week and couple of snapshots from the Oktoberfest. Check out my instagram for more Munich pics :) xxx Tugba

Inspired Outfit #2

Hello :) I hope you are well... Yeahh its Friday. I'm in Exeter this weekend. Planning on checking out all my favorite secondhand shops :) REAL gems in Exeter. Do you like buying from secondhand shops? I know its not everyones cup of tea but I LOVE finding unexpected amazing pieces. I still haven't discovered good charity/secondhand shops in London. For those of you living in London do you have any recommendations?

If you read my blog regularly than you know that I created a column on how to to get daily outfit inspiration. This is my second post on the column. I cut out the outfit from InStyle Germany. The colour combination itself really inspired me so I put together my version :) Do you like it? xxx Tugba

FLORAL COMBAT

Selam :) YAY... It's weekend :) I'm chilling today. Aiming to cook something nice from Jamie Oliver's new book "Save with Jamie". I have several other cookbooks from him and I just LOVE to watch his videos on YouTube and on TV. 

Last night we only ended up going to the Indian restaurant - Punjab in Covent Garden. Check out my last blog post. It was super delicious :) I had Lamb Korma... yummy! Definitely a recommendation if you live in London. I'm off to catch up on my magazines and Pinterest. My favorite activity at the weekends. Have an amazing weekend :) xxx Tugba

CLOSET FULL OF CLOTHES AND NOTHING TO WEAR? HOW TO GET DAILY OUTFIT INSPIRATION

Hello :) Yeahhh... Its FRIDAY! I don't have any major plans for the weekend but as you know things change very quickly :) I'm going for dinner with colleagues tonight to a restaurant called Punjab. Punjab is apparently the UK's oldest North Indian Restaurant. So its quite exciting :) I may go out after the dinner with friends in Soho London to a bar called Village. Its a gay bar :) Its very pleasant to go to gay bars as a women don't you think?

OK... lets move onto my post :) I keep getting questions from colleagues on how I choose my outfit every morning and by what I get inspired. Of course I get inspired by a lot of things - magazines, fashion blogs, pinterest and instagram. However, today I will only concentrate on magazines. If you want I can also create a separate post on my favorite fashion blogs. Anyway... back to the topic :) I'm ADDICTED to magazines especially printed magazines :) Don't get me wrong... I LOVE technology but in regards to inspirational books and magazines I prefer print. I love cutting out things from magazines. I posted before on Instagram about my inspiration board :) below.

Basically I cut out the things I like from magazines and stick them on my inspiration board. And every time when I can not decide what to wear (the "I have nothing to wear" feeling) I look at my inspiration board and try and create a similar outfit. Sometimes my version looks very similar to the one from the magazine and some days I just get inspired by the colour combination. So I decided to create a recurring column on my blog and post regularly on what the original image was that inspired me to put together my outfit. Let me know what you think of this column :) xxx Tugba

INSTA LATELY

Halli Hallo :) what a week this week. Really busy with work. Nevertheless, Im trying to squeeze in some fun stuff too :) I mentioned in this post that I would be going to the Coco Chanel by Marion Pike exhibition. Well... yesterday after work I went with a friend. I must say it was a small but very personal exhibition. It is more about Cocos friendship to Marion and therefore showing a very personal side of Coco. I loved it :) You should definitely visit it if you have time - more info here. After the exhibition we went to the Tracey Neuls store in Shoreditch. Due to London Design Festival she hosted a special meet up last night where you could meet her and view the shoes she created in collaboration with Tokyobike. I also met the lovely blogger Velo City Girl. She was so kind and explained me everything about the collaboration as well as about her blog. WOW :) I thought its great that there are fashion designers and bloggers out there who really try and create fashion items that not only look good but are also functional :) I'm sure many of you will agree with me but wearing those horrible Lycra clothes when cycling isn't really cool :) I fell in love with these Neon Orange shoes from Tracey Neuls collection - check it out here :) They look amazing and totally stand out. What do you think?

I have loads of outfit posts piled up but I just didn't have the chance to sit down and prepare the posts. I really need to prepare my posts in advance and use the schedule function more. How do you tackle this problem?

Anyway... I will leave you with an Instagram update :) My Insta Lately... xxx Tugba
