Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Castings Street Style

The castings for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show happened this week, and that gave us a lot of street style looks.
I always say that models have the best street style, especially during fashion weeks. They wear normal clothes, not those weird outfits journalist and famous people wear. They are going to work, so you will see them with something comfy. But they also are models, so what the wear is always trendy.
In these pics you will mostly find black and jeans, looks that you can wear on your daily basis. And I feel they are not looks made just for models' bodies, that anybody could wear them.
Hope you like them and find some inspiration. I myself am gonna keep some looks 😉

We need to burn those shoes Sasha This is my favourite look *.*

I actually like his look way better than hers xD

MCM: Kevin Trapp

We are back with another Man Crush Monday, and yes, it is another football player.
The other day watching the Champions League they made a close-up of him (they aren't idiots haha), and the next day I saw him randomly on tumblr, so I went onto his tag on tumblr... and here we are.

Kevin Trapp is a German footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Paris Saint Germain. Though right now he isn't playing that much (your loss Emery). If you are not into football, you might have seen him before because he is dating model Izabel Goulart. I've never liked her, but thanks to Kevin I've started to like her a tiny bit. And let's be honest, a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show without her hair flip isn't the same.

I remember when I first heard about him. Some of my friends said there was a cute German goalkeeper, that I should check him... And I did, but I didn't like him. I thought his nose was too big, and so were his teeth. But then I saw the gifs with the headphones and man... That was game changing. Who cares about his nose? 😆 Besides, he knows how to dress. Suits fit him sooooo nicely.

They do make a gorgeous couple.

Series to watch: Victoria

I love historical tv shows/period dramas. Even if they only have tiny historical bits like "Reign" does.
So, when I read that Jenna Coleman (one of my favourite actresses) was going to play Queen Victoria on a tv show, I knew I had to watch it.

I don't know much about British history, and these kind of shows (like "The Tudors" or even "Outlander") are great to know a bit more. But you MUST take the things they say with a pinch of salt (I believe that's the expression used in English), meaning that you DO NOT believe everything they say. There always are some liberties (Victoria and Lord M... it didn't happen that way).

Season 1 tells the early life of Queen Victoria, from her accession to the throne when she was just 18, to her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert. Besides the main plot there are others that at first you might don't like, but that at the end of the season are probably going to let you wanting for more (they are plots created by the writers, not historical accurate).
The season it's just 8 episodes, and ended last week. So you can binge-watch it haha Though I would recommend taking it easy. Season 2 has been announced to start in 2017, so we'll have to wait a bit to know more.

Along with the plot, the other things I've really enjoyed are the costumes, the music, and the backgrounds.
All the gowns Victoria wore are amazing. I especially loved the white/creamy ones. And the wedding dress of course. Did you know that the tradition of brides wearing white started with her?

The music, especially the theme song, is great as well. I watched this show with my sister, and everytime an episode started, we would sing along the "gloriana aleluya" xD

And the backgrounds... wow. All the palaces look incredible, though my favourites were all the outside scenes. The buildings and the gardens were lovely. One thing I didn't know though, was that Buckingham Palace has changed a lot!

So if you are interested in history (and are not too picky about the changes the writers do), like dramas, and gorgeous gowns are one of your weaknesses, you need to check out "Victoria" (she also is really cool. Little sassy queen as I call her haha).

Favourite Street Style Looks (September)

October. We are in October already. How? I did September's post what it feels like two days ago! Damn you time, relax!
September, besides being really quick, has been weird because of the weather. Over here we have had really hot days where people still went to the pool, and days where you needed a jacket and jeans because it was cold. I even saw people with coats. The looks I chose are a bit like that. Some of them are more autumnal (is that the correct word?), and others are summer looks.
Hope you like them and get some ideas for yourself :)
