Always in vogue

Trend part: Vogue earrings by Maria BlackPrice: 135 euros per earringTrend potential: Jewelery by Maria Black has regularly ended up in my jewelery drawer for years. The label knows how to create timeless but totally trendy jewelry. They've managed to do just that with the new Vogue earrings. Pair with: The best thing about timeless gold jewelry is that it goes with just about anything. However, I prefer to wear my new favorites with light-colored jeans and a white T-shirt or tank top. Then the earrings really come into their own. Good mood factor: nothing makes a simple outfit as exciting as quickly as well-chosen jewellery. The earrings even make my cozy hoodie look stylish and elegant. But the quality of the earrings made of gold-plated 925 sterling silver does not disappoint either. Maria Black combines high-quality materials with trendy design. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

Like a mango sorbet

Trend part: Angelica by MiomojoPrice: 190 eurosTrend potential: The bag also convinces me with its inner values. Because: It is made of corn leather: an innovative, certified bio-based material. Can be combined with: The bag even provides a spring-like twist with a winter jacket. I can also wear it from morning to night - either as a clutch or crossbody over my shoulder. Good mood factor: I love this color: it immediately makes you want spring. The warm mango yellow can be combined particularly well with pieces in white, cream or beige. But it is also an eye-catcher with blue jeans.

I'll keep it on

Trend part: Cara jeans from Aligne Price: approx. 60 euros Trend potential: After the second year of working from home at the latest, we have sorted out the last of the skinny jeans. In our lounging wear we have learned to love the new legroom and don't want to give it up anytime soon. Luckily, wide leg denim pants are in trend now. The "Cara" pants are made from 100 percent organic cotton and, with their mid-blue wash, really get you in the mood for spring. Can be combined with: The cut of the pants is reminiscent of the 60s, which is why cool retro looks look best. Add a colorful shirt, boots with block heels and hoop earrings and the modern bohemian look is complete. Good mood factor: One or the other may have increased a bit during Corona. With wide-leg pants, the figure is not the focus of the look. Rather, the exciting styling immediately catches the eye. The trousers do not contain any elastane, which is why the fabric can seem a little hard at first and does not give way. Over time, however, the denim fabric adapts to your own figure and you don't want to take your pants off again.

On dry land

Trend part: Ugg Drizlita rubber bootsPrice: around 100 eurosTrend potential: In Germany, winter is often not very cold, but rather wet. That's why I've been looking for the perfect shoe for mild winter days for a long time. The Ugg Drizlita is exactly what I'm looking for: stylish, suitable for everyday use and functional. Can be combined with: leather pants, jeans and even with mini skirts and shorts. Yes, I would actually combine this shoe with everything I wear everyday. Good mood factor: I'm happy when my feet are warm and dry. And since these shoes ensure that, they are my hot tip for everyone who is constantly annoyed about wet feet. Because suede boots and sneakers can't withstand the Hamburg rain under any circumstances.

Très chic for every day

Trend part: Striped sweater with a high collar from H&MPrice: 40 eurosTrend potential: Striped sweaters are everywhere this season - and an absolute must-have. The model from H&M impresses with its simple and at the same time elegant shape. The pullover not only has trend potential, but is already a timeless classic. Can be combined with: The pullover looks particularly cool when it is styled with black, loose-fitting trousers and matching boots; then a timeless look is perfect. The trend piece can also be worn with jeans and sneakers just as well! Good mood factor: Put it on and feel good - it's that simple. Thanks to the timeless cut and the high-quality material, all you need is this sweater and the outfit is complete.
