Happy Monday, and thanks so much for stopping by! Spring seems to be around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! We had such a wonderful weekend and the weather was just perfect (we had almost 60 degrees which made me jump for joy!). You have to understand – when we got back from Europe almost 2 weeks ago we were greeted by heavy snow, and I can’t tell you enough how happy I am that it’s completely gone now. I’m not much of a winter person. The part of Germany I grew up in rarely had cold and snowy winters so, you can probably understand my struggle with Chicago winters.

Anyhow, let’s talk fashion, shall we? Today I’m wearing a banded crop top and comfy waist pants from Bebe. I’ve always been a fan of pairing a crop top with high-waisted pants – there’s something really chic about it without having to bare it all! So, get ready for spring and grab your favorite stomach-revealing tops and start mix and matching, or opt for matching sets! Either way you’ll be a show stopper!

As always, thanks much for reading & have a wonderful Monday!

Much love.

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.

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.
