EXPLORING GRANADA WITH #LUMIAINGRANADA

Lumia in granada lisforlois
Hey guys!
I'm finally sharing my pictures from my very short but sweet trip to Granada. It was a much needed getaway to the country side of Spain Andalusia. I was lucky enough to be Microsoft's (and yet again a Nokia) guest for their #lumiaingranada trip. I'm pretty sure you've been wondering what it was all about, since I have been bombarding you with tumblr-esque pictures on my Insta Feed (@LisforLOIS).
Amongst digital influencers - from mobile photographers (yes, that is a thing!), instagramers and bloggers - from different countries I had the chance to discover Granada through the Lumia 930 mobile. But that wasn't all.

DOUGLAS LAUNCHES OWN BEAUTY LINE - DOUGLAS BEAUTY- EVENT

douglas beauty event lisforlois
Last week I had a wonderful time during my short trip to Hamburg, which allowed me to take a break from uni studies and some emotional stress. The reason for my short less-than-24h- trip was an invitation from Douglas allowing me to be part of their exclusive launch celebrations for their very first and very own Make Up line, which started with a blogger breakfast and finally getting to know the faces behind the various mails and the pretty amazing Douglas team.
If you're from Europe there is no way you don't know Douglas. If you don't, Douglas is pretty much your destination for High End products from Chanel to Lancome, Estée Lauder to M.A.C., Benefit Cosmetics and Co. It's the only place I know of to go to when looking for good Make Up and I'm ready to splurge a bit. It's also the only place I shop for beauty presents. Until recently Douglas only sold other brands, for the first time you'll be able to buy their own Make Up line.

We started with a delicious breakfast with all the girls and we which really turned into a beautiful relaxed event, that didn't get boring and we got to do what bloggers love and do best: play with make up and Instagram,Instagram, Instagram! from a greatly lit location. #bestselfielight everrr!

So here's what you've been waiting for, let's talk Make Up!

L IS FOR LOIS x FOOT LOCKER: HAPPY AIR MAX DAY

Air Max, oh Air Max!
26th March marked the Air Max Day, a day dedicated to a sneaker that's become a classic around the world and cultures, men and women, kids and grown ups. Everyone has their personal stories, childhood memories, their first summer at the lake in Air Max, stealing or their first homeparty in these sneakers.
I still remember when I first acknowleged the beauty of the sneakers, my neighbour got me so fixated on them. Not long until I got my first pair, a surprise present from Nike, Limited Edition Nike Air Max 1 in Julep Lime that seemed sold out everywhere. Soon after I practically started living in Air Max, my most comfiest sneakers. But I think Air Max have become a fashion statement too. Next to Stan Smiths or Superstars, Nike Air Max have been the choice of sneakers during Fashion Week and they've been popping up everywhere on Streetstyle Blogs and even Vogue, Elle and Nylon.
I teamed up with Foot Locker to celebrate the Air Max Day.

Everyone got online using the hashtags #airtime and #airmaxday, creators and you, have been sharing your personal Air Max Day stories and pictures on Instagram and Social Media. I really enjoyed stalking those hashtags that day. Here's my picture I created for Instagram and below are all the outfit pictures. Hope you enjoy this post!
Until next year Air Max Day!

STYLE IDEAS I MONACO LUXE ESCAPE

Sandals I Sandalen: Miu Miu
Necklace I Kette: Madeleine Issing
Bracelet I Armband: Chloe
Lipstick I Lippenstift: MAC Velvet Teddy

I'm a huge fan of Resort collections. Inspired by Monaco's flair and some of my favorite resort 2015 collections (Chloe SS15 and Zimmerman Resort 2015 are *HEAVEN* sent) and the lack of sun, summer and salty beaches (major case of wanderlust!) I'm reviving my Style Ideas category created to inspire you.
Today's edition is all about your Monaco Luxe Escape wardrobe. Monaco for me is all about the luxury, flowing gowns, the colors white or black paired with cotton candy pink or cognac leather, navy stripes of a day out on the yacht, total elegance and the feeling of sipping glasses of bordeaux or Chardonnay as the sun sets from a balcony (Hotel Martinez perhaps?) with a killer view overlooking the endless ocean and palm trees.

THE BEACH LOOK




Sunglasses I Sonnenbrille: Celine Papillon
Hair I Haar: Moroccanoil
Bathing Suit I Schwimmanzug: Norma Kamali
Hat I Hut: Eugenia Kim
Sun screen I Sonnencreme: Skinceuticals Brightening UV Defense 30 SPF
Bracelet I Armband: J. Crew
Wedges: See By Chloe


STYLE THE KIDS
Total LOOK: Petit Bateau

But Monaco isn't just a destination it's a perfect family get-away too. Imaging sailing away into the never ending ocean for a couple of days on your yacht with your family and kids. Going to Monaco you'd want your kids to dress the part too. Luxury and stylish dressing isn't limited to grown-ups, as little Miss North West keeps proving day by day. (How does this 2-year old have a better wardrobe than me?!)
I found the cutest luxury kids and baby wear label: Petite Bateau via Melijoe. The label itself means little ship. So perfect for your luxe escape. The latest Petite Bateau collection is supercute and has lots a pieces that just make me want to have lots of little babies so I can dress them up in all of Petite Bateau's new pieces
I picked out a luxe escape wardrobe for Little HIM and Little HER.
But please, can we just take a moment to appreciate how cute stylish kids are?!
Petit Bateau near you? Try the Ladenfinder.


Hope you enjoyed Style Ideas. I'm planing on doing more posts like these.

NIKE WOMEN 10K KICK-OFF RUN AND DINNER #WERUNBERLIN

NIKE WOMEN'S 10 KM BERLIN - KICK OFF RUN + DINNER_039 NIKE WOMEN'S 10 KM BERLIN - KICK OFF RUN + DINNER_002
You might have seen on Instagram (@LisforLois) I recently had a new training session and dinner with Nike marking the beginning of a new season training towards the Nike Women 10k run (formerly known as the We Own The Night run).
We met in front of the Nike Mitte store boarded a bus and took a quick field trip to the surprise location: the breathtaking Olympia Stadium at night. And we had the whole complex to ourselves. Wow! We got dressed in the Home locker room. Dressed in our uniform head to toe in Nike (literally), we warmed up and took the 4,5 km upon us. We ran.
A route I've known well as a kid. And a place I haven't been back long since I graduated from my elementary school. Around my school, to the Olympia Stadium and back to school. For PE classes and my bicycle license. Of course back then we had our little shortcuts. Kids :)
