In the midst of going through my favorite Steve Jobs quotes this past week grieving for one of the world’s greatest and most inspiring entrepreneurs, I re-discovered this statement which is – also – perfectly applicable to fashion:

“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”

Makes so much sense right now, doesn’t it?

So consequently I’ve made my closet undergo a thorough cleanse (really not much left there) and feel like I’m ready for a fresh start into fall. Literally FRESH. Now what feels fresher than going all-white on a dull fall day? PLUS it is so simple. All I need is to reactivate my white skinny denim (which luckily turned up last weekend – I haven’t taken it off since), get an off-white knit sweater (check Sandro!) and add my favorite pair of strappy sandals (the above ones are Giuseppe Zanotti btw). Now this may not be exactly weather-appropriate but let me tell ya that dressing weather-appropriate is for bores. It just is. As for me, I won’t even bother shopping for autumnal colors (Halloween says hi) but look cool in white on white. Cheers!

So last weekend in Berlin I finally found  THE one LWD from Sandro at Galeries Lafayette. It has the perfect length, a cute zipper at the back and beautiful lace details (and we love white lace this summer!!)

Take some inspirations from favourite blogger Elin on how to style the LWD:

LWD: Sandro at Galeries Lafayette

Suede bag: Vanessa Bruno via Net-a-Porter

Boots: Prego

Sunnies: Celine via Barneys NY

Nail polish: Chanel Black Pearl

How to best wear the maxi length?? Turn to  style princess Olivia herself…she is THE proof that even (or especially) petite girls can rock this trend!!

Follow Olivia’s lead and style the maxi skirt/dress with a belt, leather jacket or fur and a hat for a laidback, yet polished style!

I’m also totally into the Mango dress, which Olivia is wearing in this editorial of Spanish magazine Hola:

And voila my personal version of how to do the maxi length:

Start with a  maxi dress in a cool print, like this great Sandro dress (1), which I treated myself to during Paris Fashion Week…

and style it with these accessories:

2. Maje wedge Galoche en noir.

3. Aurelie Bidermann cotton-lace ring (via net-a-porter)

4. O.P.I Texas range nail polish Guy meets Gal-veston in the new sheer version (the coolest way to wear your nail polish this summer!!)

5. Maje black suede leather jacket Exit.

6. Vintage Chanel bag in a bright color, like this Cobald blue pouch bag (via Resurrection)

German top model and natural beauty Toni Garn photographed by Knoepfel and Indlekofer for the September issue of German Vogue.

On this shot she is wearing this season’s IT piece and Les Coupines’ FAVOURITE: the sequined, striped sweater with sharp shoulders. Decarnain manages to combine three key trends in one single piece without overdoing it. Unfortunately, this Balmain piece is well out of our reach, but we love the alternative by French brand Sandro.
