H&M Classic Pieces for Fall

Trench Coat

This trench was 29 euros and I'm super happy with it. There's a darling blue striped pattern on the inside and it just screams AUTUMN. It makes me feel like meeting John Kennedy Jr for a cider somewhere in Vermont. Yes, I know he's no longer of the living, but a girl can dream!

This H&M poncho comes in 2 colors: black and beige. It was 19 euros and its one-size-fits all. I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing this baby A LOT.  Just throw it on and you have an instant soft, snuggle poncho! {That's me experimenting with a new background...}

I also picked up the one in black 

Here's where I might scare off a few of my readers - particularly the stylish ones..
um, you see .. I'm a big fan of Dankso clogs
I have their Marcelle Clog (pictured above) in brown and black,
their Pro Cabrio Leather Clog and I'm seriously considering buying their Scout Ankle Boot  so I can clomp and clog my way through fall and winter!  They are so ridiculously comfortable its like walking on a little slice of heaven!  I'm a Dansko addict!

Purse was 19 euros at H&M - I like the gold accents

Long Black Tuxedo Jacket: 49 euros

Hello - this jacket goes with everything! Skinny jeans, over a dress .. you name it

I'd like to take a minute and apologize for my lack of poses - or rather, that I do the same one every. single. time.  I'm new to this photo/outfit stuff!

However recently I've been exercising+eating healthier, so its possible I'll do more outfits/fashion documenting...

see ya soon xo BHB

Geek Chic Glasses

A DJ friend is in town and he can't get enough of Berlin's music scene. Places like Watergate, Tresor, Berghain, Bar25, and Club der Visionaire are stacked with house, techno, drum n' bass, ambient .. you name it. There is something for every musical taste, in every corner of Berlin. 

Yesterday while getting ready to meet for drinks at Freischwimmer and then a little groovin at Club Der Visionäre I decided to wear my geek chic rayban glasses. I like the nerdy, Mad Men vibe & felt I could meet the scene head on with these babies..

Available via Ritzy Reads here for $26

I continued this trend over to my sunglasses which are white, with small dainty flowers from SIXX. Here I'm on my way to a birthday party. Whoops, my braid looks a little lopsided. I guess BHB wasn't in best form!

I don't think I'll wear my raybanesque geeky chicys everyday, but they're fun for a little trend.

Sugar Butterfly Baby: DIY Barrette

Since I was small I have loved butterflies. I've been to numerous butterfly exhibits at the botanical gardens and enjoy seeing their enormous wings and intricate, colorful patterns.

 Who remembers "Butterfly" by Crazytown? I have to admit I kinda dug it back in the day...

Today I was inspired to make my own butterfly barrette. I like the hot pink, saturated  colors

I think I'll style my hair in soft waves & then add this for an extra kick!
This week I'll make a YT video showing you how I did this barrette

More inspiration and ideas for your DIY clips ...

see you soon! xo BHB

Paloma Faith inspired Vintage Rolls

Paloma Faith has a wonderful, soulful voice and a sexy retro fashion sense. Her duet "New York" with Ghostface Killah  has been my drinking-a-glass-of-merlot-and-unwinding soundtrack this summer.  If I add a second glass into the mix, well, I'm belting out "I DONT WAAN KNOW I JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU EW EWWW!"She has a number of inspiring looks that I want to tackle in the future, but for now I stuck with her classic victory rolls and colorful flowers combo.

Roll that hair back, throw on some red lips and you are channeling Paloma, girls!

Now, if only my hair were a bit longer for the va va vooom!

Can't wait to try this look! Its so Veronica Lake 2010!
Here is my tutorial on Paloma:

Berlin Music Baby: Clara Moto

Clara Moto is an Austrian DJ that I'm loving. Her beats are fresh and dance infused. Yay for female DJs, particularly ones that start their own labels
