#1 Blog of the week

I AM SO EXCITED!

About a week ago I started posting in the lookbook.nu forum that I'd love to present a "Blog of the Week" every...well week :) I also wrote to some blogs directly, that just inspired me.
A lot of young bloggers wrote, they'd want to take part in this project and I had quite a hard time choosing, who should be first. Those who wrote me and aren't presented today will be presented in the next few weeks! Also if you want to be the next blog of the week you can still write an mail to victoria@thekempters.de, subject blog of the week and tell me, why it should be your blog!

Now let me finally introduce TIPHAINE to you!

She's from switzerland, 19 years old and the owner of the beautiful blog makeitsparkling.blogspot.de.
She writes in english and is blogging since february 2012.

Here's a short profile:


Your blog in 2 words: I blog about my personal style and some events in my life :) 

When and why did you start blogging: I started blogging a few months ago because fashion is my passion and I've decided to take it to a new level by starting my own style blog.

Favorite quote: I think it's that one from Audrey Hepburn: "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

What inspires and/or motivates you: Pretty much everything inspires me ! Everything that surrounds me and also I read tons of magazines, blogs etc so this too :) and what motivates me is that fashion truly passionates me so I really love doing this !

What makes your blog different: I am really spontaneous in the way I write on my blog and I try to share as much as I can about my life because I feel really lucky about it.
Where you see yourself in 5 years: I hope I'll be living in someplace nice with my love and have a good job :)

Anything left to say: I think that the most important thing to remember if you want to be a great fashion blogger is to be yourself !

Lost and found


As I told before I recently found my "design books" I had between 2007 and 2009. Here are two more of my favourite looks. I had so much fun back then drawing fashion, maybe I should start of again...

Proudly present: Ms. Hepburn

As you can deduce from  my "name" ( Tori Golighlty) - which ISN'T my real name - I'm quite an Audrey Hepburn fan. I first saw her in "My Fair Lady" about a dozen times. Then my dad showed me "Breakfast at Tiffany's". By now I've seen almost every of her movies. I really enjoyed "Charade" and also I love "Roman Holiday".

Well anyway we had a double lesson of Arts today and I'm finished with my project so I had nothing to do. I found a portrait fotograph of lovely Ms. Hepburn along with the other pictures that inspired me for my project so I started drawing her. What du you think? Do you recognize her? I'd love to know what you think about it!

Born in the USA

As I mentioned before my mom's birthday present last year was an awesome week in New York City. Fitting she gave me this awesome blazer. It looks like it was made out of an american flag. I was born in Manhattan so the look is like MEEE!

I bought the jeans at ZARA's because at that time it had exactly my hair color and it lookes quite great ;) Even though my hair is more and more the natural color I still enjoy the jeans a lot. Its covered by some kind of wax, which makes it quite edgy.

Scrapbook - Sneakernight

The undisputed coolest trend this year are sneakers. The casual ones of course and the hot new ones: high tops!! They look like normal sneakers except for one thing, the heel! I saw both kinds of sneakers in a lot of magazines so I just had to make a scrapbooksite out of them. Tadaa!

Part Of Me


 Not my "normal" style, I know. But how said I have to stick to that!?
On of my best friens wore that floral leggins for school a few days ago and I kinda fell in love with them. So I thought of this look while being in school and asked her then if I could lend it for a day. The next they she brought them with her.

Some of you might have recognized the "FNO"-shirt. For the ones who didn't: FNO stands for "Fashion's Night Out". I was in New York for my 16th birtday last year and FNO was two days after - while I was still there!!! It was AWESOME!


Boyfriend Blazer - Strenesse


Leggins - H&M


Earrings - SIX

Ring - SIX

Let's Forget All The Things That We Say

I know this in a fashion blog. Manly. BUT I just had to share this song with you beautiful people!

Julia Stone is the musicians that like sweeps me off my feet with every new song I find. Julia's voice overfloats me. Just the voice. It's like magic!
Julia originally sings with her brother Angus Stone (they're the duo "Angus and Julia Stone") but both of them decided to go solo and will get back together end of this year!


I hope you like it. Do you know a singer or a song that touches you that much? Who?

P.S. He's awesome too, by the way!

Scrapbook - Florals 1

Florals are like the must have this summer. Just as they were last summer and even in summer of 2010. If I remember right it started with the "millefleurs"-trend.
The new thing: there are different types of flowers.
I found this great UK magazine called "Company" and it is like filled with all kind of florals. So I riped out the stuff I liked and splited them into different topics.
The trend I want to show you today are TROPICAL FLORALS.

Poker Face

Since I was able to hold a pencil in my hands I drew fashion. I recently found the 2 books I filled with designs from 2007 to 2009. These are the designs I drew last in my second book. They were inspired by...POKER:) I hope you like my drawing, there are some more following some time soon.

Penguins love flying on planes

Well okay, the headline has not anything to do with the look. I just had to think about a good one and googled flying and love. I saw this headline of some random article and thought: "Wow Penguins are so great, lets make this my title!"


Indeed this isn't the most creative look, but I painted on those shoes for my sister and just had to make them a look. I love the graffiti-artist Banksy and the motive seemed so easy to copy.

Let your dreams breathe

That's my lovely little sister. She's the one always taking the pictures of me, so we mostly play around and once I took that picture of her. That's he favourite outfit right now. She sticks to her style very closelyand like always has phases of wearing something. I think that look fits her perfectly, but sadly she hates it when she gets photographed (although she's very pretty). 
Shirt & Shorts: Pimkie;
Jersey Blazer: Abercrombie & Fitch
Shoes: Sommerkind
