Right now I am writing you, sitting on our bed in Paris, after a long day of stomping up the Eiffel tower in Valentino pumps, lots of sightseeing, buying macarons at Ladurée (of course), having had several Kronenbourgs and ridden the underground to the end and back with Alasdair, my husband as of the 26th of May. After several months of serious stress and working so hard to make this one day a fairytale we are throwing ourselves into our vacation. We married in a monestary near my hometown, Wiesbaden, and since the weather has been so beautiful in Germany our garden ceremony was absolutely perfect (minus the hornet that flew near my face). My emotions are still all over the place and it has not completely sunken in yet but I am so happy!!!!! Here is our first wedding photo take by our photographer Steffen Böttcher, the Heidefotograf, from Hamburg. I can't wait to tell you more and of course show you more photos but right now my glass of red wine is calling me!!! I promise I will be back to posting regularly again soon but until then I am regretlessly not available :D. See you soon in the Maldives!

Lots of love,

Sophia Schwan-McMaster

 

Hamish has been doing all the Vogue reading for me and telling me what I've been missing since I have now completely immersed myself in finalising wedding plans. I'm starting to understand why wedding planners exist. Organising a party of such importance, working full time and attempting to mainting a social/private life means I am close to losing it. I am definitely only getting married once.

 

The perfect background for these trousers don't you think? The camoflouge effect makes me invisible to Hamish when we're out walking and he thinks I'm a plant. Clearly Europe wasn't ready for spring since there seems to have been continental wide temperature drop so I'm back to wearing my coat. This specific one. Again. It has pretty much made my extensive coat collection obsolete. I'm not complaining about the chillier weather though, I always end up missing layers in summer. As you know, I don't do simple.

These Alexander Wang loafers have become a wardrobe saviour as well. I have been combining them with almost all of my suit trousers. Click here for more, such as his amazing Nadia sandals that I would love to buy imemdiately or to grab yourself a pair of loafers yourself.

I am wearing a Carven coat, Nowhere jumper, Sportmax trousers, Alexander Wang loafers and an American Apparel clutch.

 

A super quick post of today's outfit. It's pretty much perfect for me. Clashing but simultaneously completementary patterns and the fact that it makes me feel like Marlene Dietrich mean I wish I could wear it everyday, forever, and it would be totally appropriate. These Alexander Wang loafers have also become a classic wardrobe saviour. I have been combining them with all my suit trousers. If I could, I would immediately buy his Nadia sandals.

This week is going to be incredibly hectic for me. Deadlines at work coupled with frantic, last minute wedding tasks that need to be completed won't allow me to update everyday so just bear with me. We'll be driving down to the Rheingau this weekend to prepare for the wedding. God I can't believe it's actually happening now. I am so excited!

I am wearing a vintage blazer, Acne blouse, H&M trousers, Prada brogues and a Celine bag.

P.S. I'm so sorry I haven't been able to comment back. I have no time right now for anything really but I will catch up on that when things have quieted down! Thank you for your feedback and thoughts, it makes my day!

 

Running around with this jacket on purely because you love it makes no sense when it is almost 30 degrees outside. Yes, you heard correctly, it is almost 30 degrees in Berlin and I am wearing a heavy denim jacket and indigo jeans. Who said global warming doesn't exist? Soon there will be palm tries lining the streets and they'll have to change the name Unter den Linden.

I want spring though and I'm going to have it at least wardrobe wise. I am a walking tropical drink right now. I can't get enough of obnoxious, bright colours, preferably pink. Trashy tie dye and faded denim, such a delicious concoction. The jacket, the bag and the paint splatter effect shoes on python leather were pretty much meant to be worn together.

I am wearing an Isabel Marant jacket, T-shirt from Thailand, Fossil jeans, Christian Louboutin pumps and a Celine bag.
