The Trench Coat

It’s trench time, well it was in Germany, not so much in Chicago right now. Nonetheless, I’m a huge fan of the classic trench coat. I could’t get more excited when I spot the first rays of sunshine that announce spring because it means: Take off your winter and grab your trench! The trench coat is the perfect jacket for spring – a closet staple for warmer days ahead.

What I love about the trench is that it’s completely irrelevant what I’m wearing underneath. The trench in itself always looks classy and sophisticated. On a different note: We took these pictures in less than 3 minutes, and I’m not exaggerating. My brother, my son and my husband where on our way to visit a friend of mine in Gelsenkirchen, and as we were driving I noticed this graffiti wall, and I told my brother to stop immediately (typical blogger moment, huh?!). However, as my husband started taking pictures our battery died. So, yes, 3 minutes. Sometimes all you need is 3 minutes.

Have you ever experienced something like this? As always, I would love to hear from you!

Thank you for reading, and as always, much love.

It’s no secret that during traveling your skin becomes dehydrated and dull. Coming from Chicago, and flying to Europe was somewhat of a climate change for us. We literally left freezing temps behind us and arrived in Europe in full on spring mode which can have an effect on your skin. Hence it’s super important to me that I take extra care of my skin while traveling. I make sure that I have a good skincare routine to combat dehydration while on the road. We traveled a lot while in Europe. We started in Paris, France and afterwards flew to Germany in which we traveled quite a bit as well.

I’ve been using Kristals Cosmetics during my entire trip in Europe, a brand known for its bio-energized formulas inspired by ancient and holistic traditions. I brought with me my RUBY Super Thermal Repair Mask, Facial Nourishing Cream and Facial Serum. The Thermal Repair Mask really did wonders to my skin – it’s unique self-heating system not only smoothed my deep lines but also encouraged my skin to renew itself. As it gently warms to the touch, the mask prepares your skin to absorb the powerful ruby g emstone’s strengthening and nourishing properties.

Adore Cosmetics

RUBY Super Facial Serum – I use this serum every day (morning/night). It helps halt and reverse the aging process using the famed ruby gemstone. The serum also contains jojoba seed oil, a rich and powerful skin emollient which made my skin wonderfully soft!

RUBY Super Facial Nourishing Cream – Just like the serum, I use the cream every day. I apply it in the morning to help hydrate my skin by binding moisture to my skin. To amplify ruby’s age-defying properties, Kristals Cosmetics infuse their cream with Hydroviton, which deeply hydrates dry skin. It really helps me seal in moisture for the day ahead!

While in Germany I had the opportunity to work with two amazing photographers: Gianluca Arangino and Marcel Huhn. We shot in Dortmund, known as being the independent city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. We wanted to create an urban feel, and even though it rained a bit that day, the pictures came out amazing. I’ve never really worked with a photography crew before. Our shoot was very professional, from setting up lighting during our sessions to various backdrops. It truly was an amazing experience I’ll never forget.

And even though my German adventures came to an end yesterday – I’m certain that I’ll be back soon. I miss Europe, I really do. We had such a wonderful time revisiting my favorite places, from cafes (I’m a Latte Macchiatto addict!) to my university in Münster. Being with my family and friends was very special too. We shared so many laughs together which I will hold dear to my heart forever. It felt so good to be surrounded by people who have known me for many, many years.

As always, thanks so much visiting and stay tuned for more German adventures!

Much love, always.

I heart Münster

Yesterday my family and I went to Münster, the city I studied in for a couple of years. Münster is a multi-faceted city. Surrounded by historical architecture, the city is known as the city of science and learning, and being the capital city of bicycles. There are seriously thousands of bicycle riders, most of them students trying to go to one class to another. I was one of them years ago. Walking through the city brought back fun memories from my university days.

It was also very special to show my son my school, and teach him all the wonderful things I’ve learned and experienced while living in Münster. Being here with my family means the world to me but I do look forward to return back to the States. We do miss our three dogs dearly. At the end you’ll always call your home where your heart is. Always.

As always, thanks so much for stopping and have a wonderful weekend.

I Love You all.

Casual Chic in Germany

Casual Chic_Germany_What Would V Wear_Top Bloggers 2016_Vanessa Lambert

Elegant but casual. Chic but relaxed. Feminine but with an edge. This is my definition of causal chic. Being casual is a lifestyle I very much adore. I’ve traveled my entire life and I’ve always been very causal about it. It’s part of me. People tend to ask me “where I’m from” and the answer is simple: I’m a world citizen.

Casual Chic is a symbiosis of my casual attitude, and my preference for elegant and chic fashion. While traveling around Europe being casual chic is the way to go.

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a fabulous Wednesday!

Much love.
