My Shopping Tour at the Frankfurt Airport

My Shopping Tour at the Frankfurt Airport 1316 2048 Galia Brener

A few weeks ago, I received an email regarding the shopping tour at my favorite Airport, of course the Frankfurt one! You cannot imagine how ecstatic I was. I had a chance to combine two of the things I love most – shopping and travel. For those who know me, know my addiction to shopping and discovering new and wild trends. Since I travel quite often, I know exactly which stores are located in this International and chic airport. Last week, I had a chance to visit 5 really cool brands and present them to you.

I arrived with my team of 3 – my photographer and assistant. We started the tour off by eating a delicious salami sandwich, because I need my coffee, carbs and meat to jumpstart the day. I know, not the typical nutrition of a yoga girl, but who wants to be typical anyways, right? A few minutes later, the cool Frankfurt Airport marketing crew came to greet us and the shopping tour was about to begin! I was very excited. What will I discover? Which new trends are awaiting me? As I set out on my journey, I felt happy and at peace, surrounded by good and warm people.

 

 

 

PINKO

 

The first stop on the shopping adventure was one of my favorite Frankfurt Airport stores, Pinko. Just a few weeks ago, I bought a really cool pair of shoes there before my flight to Ibiza. The lovely store manager greeted me with open arms as we had a little trend chat, and soon the photo shooting began. The first thing my eyes landed upon was a long silk maxi dress with a cool graffiti image and tropical prints decorating the entries dress. I will never grow tired of the maxi. The great thing about this dress is that one can wear in on a nice summer day, and also a fancier evening affair with a tight fitted short jacket and high heels. That’s my typical “Gali-Look” – a long silk maxi dress and a tight leather jacket. Delicious. I cannot get enough of this combination!

The next thing that caught my attention was a short black denim skirt, which I happily combined with a tropical silk shirt and patent leather pumps. I must admit that I really enjoyed strutting around the store, ecstatic and energetic in my element! We made very cute Instagram stories and a few cool photos – as seen below. The Frankfurt Airport team was in good spirits, happily waiting to see what I would throw on next! Thankfully at Pinko, the possibilities are always endless. Since I prefer the rather crazier style, I had many wild choices to go with.

Next up was a gorgeous “red meets orange” micro-crêpe dress, which surprise surprise, I put on backwards! I adore breaking and crashing trends. Why wear everything how it’s supposed to be worn? Hell no! Life is precious and not super long, so break some rules and dare to stand out. The elegant dress was supposed to be worn with the long part in the back and the short in the front. However, I really liked the bow tie effect in the front, and wore it backwards. I think it turned out to be quite chic. I combined it with the red Pinko Love bag. What do you think?

I really had fun with this dress and pretended to be one of the mannequins at the store display! The store manager and crew were laughing hard and we had a blast. What many people do not know is that Pinko is an Italian brand that was founded in the early 1980s. Today, it is still operated by the founding family, giving it a strong heritage feel. I always love a brand that is still run by the original family owner. This show true dedication and passion. Bravo!

As I was about to go, the store manager handed me a fancy package. I was very flattered when I unpacked it and inside was the Pinko Love bag in black. I will cherish and combine it with endless outfits. Thanks Pinko for a chic and exciting day!

KIKO MILANO

 

Next stop on the shopping tour was a fabulous makeover at Kiko Milano! I can describe this experience like being a kid in a candy shop. As I stepped into the store, there was a beautiful color wave as far as the eyes could see! Everything from funky eye shadow, to luscious lipsticks, tantalizing rouges, sparkling glosses, foundation, skin care and various serums, fluffy brushes, colorful makeup bags and more! A true sight for any artist’s eyes. You have to be there to believe it. Hey Milano, your Kiko definitely know how to attract amazing attention!

Since I always prefer the same natural pink shades, I decided to let the professional makeup artist do her work, and give me a total makeover. I was very impressed by the final result. My face was glowing and shimmering with happiness. I had a nice rich earthy-tone smoky eyes effect combined with a lovely bronzer, making me look like I was basking under the warm Mediterranean sun for a few weeks. My lips were topped of with a transparent golden gloss, giving me the Italian-Goddess-of-Lips allure. All in all, the perfect dewy summer look!

Of course being the mischievous monkey that I am, I couldn’t help but run around the store, trying on all the different colors and shades for both the summer and fall 2017 seasons! I was very happy to see that my beloved pink was staying strong this year. I love the almost naked pink plump look for my lips. I think that it makes me look young and cute. While the darker reds and browns me look older, strict and too serious. In general, I prefer the lighter “fresh out of bed” makeup look, and Kiko definitely has everything one needs to achieve this look.

As I was saying my goodbyes to the lovely and sweet store manager and her crew, I received a fabulous gift bag full of lovely products for you my dear readers!

** I will be posting a photo of this goodie bag tomorrow on my Facebook fan page. Please take a look at:

Post a comment underneath the photo, for your chance to win this awesome kiko gift set! This includes the same eyes shadow palette that the makeup artist used on me. Good luck my dears and enjoy.

 

 

 

 

VICTORIA’S SECRET 

 

The next party of the thrill was another one of my favorite shops at the Frankfurt airport, which has celebrated its grand opening not too long ago, the one and only, Victoria’s Secret. The Frankfurters have been waiting a long time for this sensual lingerie store to open up, therefore I was very happy to find out that this is one of the shops on my shopping tour. As a small coincidence, this was also one of my stops before I boarded my flight to Ibiza a few weeks ago, therefore you could see how much I truly love shopping at my favorite airport.

The Victoria’s Secret store at the airport it’s quite cool because it has a nice variety of things to get, not only as a gift for someone else but also for last-minute purchases before your fabulous vacation. Or simply the essentials, like my favorite panties that I wear every day, or a special new perfume to tantalize the men. The coolest part is the feeling of walking into the dim, alluring and mysterious shop.

What caught my attention immediately was the really cute pink and white stripped trolley that also happens to be Victoria’s Secret corporate identity colors. Of course I had to get one for my next trip and combine it with a really funky bright blue VS passport cover. Since I’m traveling a lot and have to change suitcase quite often, this one definitely seemed like it will be a good companion for the next years to come. As they say, bloggers live out of their suitcases, therefore it’s like adding a new member to the influencer family.

I also happen to adore Victoria’s Secret Extreme Lip Plumper, which makes your lips appears three times fuller with its mysterious pepper effect. It has a very interesting tingling sensation, which cannot be described – one has to try it out to see the miracle that it creates!

The lovely store manager gave me an in-depth tour of the shop, showing me all of the new creams and fragrances, sexy new lingerie designs and also told me about the great sales and deals that are on offer right now. (See the photos below). I was happy to grab my suitcase, the psychedelic passport cover, a few seductive panties and make my way to the next part of the shopping tour. Thank you dear Victoria, your secret really is a girl’s best friend!

THOMAS SABO

 

After having a refreshing green smoothie and a healthy lunch, my team and I made our way to the brilliant silver treasures store known as Thomas Sabo. This store holds a special significance for me as well, because Mr. Sabo and I go way back. I will never forget my first bracelet that I received as a present, made of round smooth rose quartz crystals bound together by a fancy sterling silver chain.

Natural stones are very important and each one holds a different power within itself. For example, when the rose quartz is worn, it attracts love to the person who wears it. That’s why my Thomas Sabo bracelet was very dear to me, because by wearing it, I believe that I attracted my first love into my life. The rose quartz also has the ability to boost your self-confident and love yourself more. Each stone corresponds to a different significance in life, therefore you see how important these semi-precious stones are. The Thomas Sabo designers loves to work with natural stones combined with beautiful silver pieces, therefore I was excited to see which pieces they had in their new collection.

Being a spiritual person and big lover of yoga, I was very pleased to see the new karma beads collection. I especially liked the bracelet with the karma beads combined with lava rocks. When I was in Ibiza, I realize that the lava rock is a very special element used in jewelry – and also has strength and energy of its own. I decided that I definitely have to have the lava stone karma beads bracelet. The store manager helped me to try many different variations until I found the perfect one. I was very impressed by how helpful and lovely she was.

I have to admit that being at the Sabo store was a little bit like playing dress up with Barbie when I was a little girl. I got a chance to run around the store and try on my favorite pieces of jewelry. I have never seen their truly wild rings before, for example the eagle and skeleton ones. Both rings are quite large and look really massive and cool on my small fingers, definitely a rock ‘n’ roll feature for me.

The manager gave me a little “Tree of Hope” bracelet as a present. She told me to make a wish while she was tying the bracelet on my wrist. I am not allowed to take it off until it falls off on its own and that is when my wish will come true. I’m very curious what will happen in the next months and will definitely keep you updated. So my dears, if you also have a wish that you want to come true, now you know where to go to make it happen!

 

 

 

 

COCCINELLE

 

Last but not least on the shopping tour, was what many consider as “Handbag Heaven”. This season is definitely Pastel-Paradise at Coccinelle. I was attracted from miles away, as I saw bags in many forms, shapes and delicious pastel colors looking at me, winking and luring me to walk inside. This is definitely a store that one cannot miss while enjoying the airport shopping experience.

The funny thing is that my first Coccinelle bag was a small black squared one, which I bought about 10 years ago at an airport as well! Therefore this brought back many fond memories, allowing me to have the same experience here in my favorite Frankfurt airport.

What I like most about Coccinelle is their statements and designs. All of their bags can be worn during the day but also perfectly chic in the evening and on glamorous events – making them very versatile and quite useful to have in the closet. The quality is superb and is excellent for the price segment.

I had a lot of fun in the store because I had a wild idea to put about 20 bags on myself, while turning around in a Boomerang nirvana! I posted this funny video on my Instagram story, while having the photo shooting live that day. Of course at the end, I couldn’t quite decide which bag I loved the most – a typically difficult decision at Coccinelle, due to the large and breathtaking variety! I spent another hour on deciding which bag gets to come home with me and sleep together with the rest of my treasures.

The store manager was laughing hard as we both had a lot of fun trying on the bags and matching them with every single scarf, accessory, jewelry piece and even key chains! Nobody said that this is a super easy job, but someone has to do it properly à la Brener-Style-Police mission to report to you my dear readers! After choosing a baby pink Bandelier beauty, I bid farewell to the lovely manager and met the Frankfurt Airport team outside.

 

** Use the code: GALIA17COCCINELLE to get a 10% discount on your purchase at the Frankfurt Airport! (Cannot be combined with other discounts) Offer expires on June 30th, 2017.

 

 

After about 9 hours of shopping madness at the Frankfurt Airport, the fun was just beginning for me while the others looked like they ran a 100 km marathon! At about 1.5 / 2 hours per store, including photo shootings and video sessions, the passion adds up and one really feels like after a full week of doing sports. Yes my dears, shopping can sometimes be painful but extremely satisfying… and I love it!

I’m used to the blogger’s shopping chaos tiredness, although I definitely make it appear much easier than it is. I saw on their faces that it was time to call it a night, and I was super happy to walk out of the airport holding many cool shopping bags with elegant, glamorous, delicious and sexy goodies inside.

Thank you to the dear Frankfurt Airport team, my amazing supportive team and all of the store managers and assistants for making my shopping tour as exciting, fun, stylish and unforgettable as it was. I enjoyed myself very much and am definitely looking forward to come back for more!

 

Sending you many hugs,

Your Gali

Kaufrausch bei TK Maxx!

Kaufrausch bei TK Maxx! 1080 530 Galia Brener

Endlich war es Donnerstag – der mit Spannung erwartete Tag der großen Designer-Shopping-Lieferung bei TK Maxx. Ich wusste zwar nicht genau was uns erwartet, aber als wir heute früh im Frankfurter TK Maxx ankamen war klar, dass das ein super Tag wird.

Eigentlich bräuchte ich gar nicht erwähnen, dass unsere Erwartungen mehr als nur übertroffen wurden.

An den Regalen hingen endlose Reihen mit Designer-Konfektionen, die darauf warteten abgehängt, anprobiert, nach Hause genommen und geliebt zu werden! Wir Mädels stürzten sofort auf verschiedenen Wegen los und häuften die erbeuteten Schätze in unsere Einkaufswägelchen.

Da wir bereits eine Stunde vor der offiziellen Ladenöffnung eingeladen wurden war zunächst außer uns niemand jemand da. Das reichte aber schon völlig aus um sofort ein lautes, begeistertes, glückliches Shopping-Chaos auszulösen. Schnäppchenjagd hat irgendetwas an sich, das den Blutdruck hochjagt und Adrenalinschübe auslöst!

Die außergewöhnliche Freundlichkeit des TK Maxx Personals hat mich sehr angenehm beeindruckt. Alle waren gerne bereit uns mit Größen, Farben, verschiedenen Modellen und allgemeinen Fragen weiter zu helfen. Obwohl wir schon so früh da waren begrüßten sie uns mit einem freundlichen Lächeln und waren voller Begeisterung in jeder Art und Weise behilflich. Applaus für ein so großartiges Team!

Wir brauchten volle zwei Stunden um die erste Etage komplett nach Klamotten zu durchkämmen und dabei hatten wir es noch nicht einmal zu den Schuhen im Obergeschoss geschafft! Da ich kleine Füße habe war dann doch noch einiges in Größe 37s für mich übrig. Eine Freundin überraschte mich in einem Moment als ich gerade unter all den Schuhen mitten im Durchgang begraben war. Sie musste derart heftig lachen, dass sie auf mich und den Schuhstapel fiel! Klarer Fall: unser Shopping-Tag war spaßig und voller Abwechslung. Ein herrlich fröhliches Erlebnis unter guten Freunden!

Es gab viele Designer- und Top-Markenartikel zur Auswahl. Dazu viele großartige Dinge für die Bereiche Home, Haustiere und Kinder. Ich war so wunschlos glücklich, alle diese verschiedenen Outfits vom ultra Roter-Teppich-Chic bis hin zum lässigen Casual-City-Style anprobieren zu können. Es gibt wirklich für jeden etwas bei TK Maxx! Dabei ist die Qualität der Stücke sehr gut und die Kollektionen sind up to date.

Bis die neue Saison beginnt werden noch jede weitere Woche neue Designer-Lieferungen eintreffen. Also, schnappe dir eine Freundin und gehe hin bevor alles weg ist!

Hier sind einige Schnappschüsse von schönen Outfits, die ich für mich herausgesucht habe. Ich bin gespannt auf eure Meinung!

Viel Spaß beim Einkaufen!

 

Herzliche Grüße,

eure Gali

Shopping Excitement at the TK Maxx in Frankfurt!

 

Thursday has finally arrived and with it came the TK Maxx shopping excitement as well! I was not sure what to expect, but when we arrived in the morning, we knew that this would be a fun and happy day.

Needless to say that it was everything that we expected and more! There were rows after rows of designer clothing hanging on the racks – waiting to be picked up, tried on and adopted to take home and love! Us girls ran our separate ways to start filling our shopping carts with treasures. Since we were invited one hour earlier than the official store opening hours, there were only a few of us in the store, but it was enough to create a loud excited, happy, shopping chaos. There is something about bargain hunting that makes the blood boil and the adrenalin run wild!

I was very pleased to see that the TK Maxx staff is extremely friendly. They were very willing to help out with sizes, colors, models and any general questions. Even though we arrived so early, they greeted us with a warm smile and a happy enthusiasm, always willing to help. The staff was very well informed about all of the items available in the store, and were happy to assist in any way needed. Bravo to such a great team!

It took us 2 hours to completely go through all of the clothing on the first floor, and that was even without the shoes, which were upstairs! I have small feet, so there were many size 37s leftover for me. At one point, one of my friends came over and found me buried underneath all of the shoes in the middle of the isle! She was laughing to hard that she fell on top of me and the pile of shoes! Needless to say, our shopping day was very funny and enjoyable! A really fun and lovely experience to have with good friends!

There were many designer and top brand items to choose from. Many great things for the house, pets and children as well. I was happy to try on many different outfits ranging from ultra red carpet chic, to casual hanging out in the city style. There is really something for everyone at TK Maxx! I was also pleased to see that the quality of the clothing is very good, and the collections are up to date.

There are more designer deliveries coming in every week now before the new season starts. So grab a friend and get there before everything is gone!

Here are some behind-the-scene photos of nice outfits that I picked out for myself. Let me know what you think.

Have fun shopping!

Sending you a big hug,

 

Your Gali

Der heiße Shopping- Tipp: TK Maxx – ultimative Lieferung an Top Marken und Designer Labels diesen Donnerstag!

Der heiße Shopping- Tipp: TK Maxx – ultimative Lieferung an Top Marken und Designer Labels diesen Donnerstag! 1080 530 Galia Brener

Liebe Freunde und Leser, ich bin so begeistert, dass mir die Worte fehlen!

Ein Vögelein hat mir unter Insidern gezwitschert, was am Donnerstag passieren wird.

Der 18. Februar wird ein toller Tag bei TK Maxx! Es wird eine umfangreiche Lieferung vielfältiger Designer-Artikel in allen deutschen Filialen eintreffen. Dieses Angebot wird Designer Labels für Damen, Herren, Kinder, Accessoires, -Schuhe, -Taschen und Wohn-Accessoires umfassen.

Ich weiß nicht, ob Sie bereits mit dem TK Maxx Store-Konzept vertraut sind, aber wenn Sie es nicht sind, dann ist dieser Donnerstag auf jeden Fall der perfekte Tag, um es herauszufinden! Wie schon der Name sagt, handelt es sich um ein riesiges Geschäft mit unglaublichen Angeboten, ein Paradies für Schnäppchenjäger. Dort kann man viele bekannte Designerstücke zu großartigen Preisen finden. Ich gehe immer gerne zu TK Maxx, nirgendwo anders finde ich Designerstücke bis zu 60 % günstiger im Vergleich zum UVP.

Für uns Modefans ist es ein großes Glück, dass diese besondere Aktion jetzt in dieser Woche läuft – der perfekte Zeitpunkt, um sich die neuen Frühjahrs- und Sommeroutfits zusammenzustellen. Zum Glück lebe ich in Frankfurt, denn hier gibt es einen wirklich schönen und großen TK Maxx direkt im Nordwest-Zentrum. Allerdings gibt es auch viele weitere Filialen in ganz Deutschland. Sie finden Ihre nächste Filiale unter: http://www.tkmaxx.de/unsere-filialen

Meinen Freunden habe ich empfohlen, am Donnerstagmorgen so früh wie möglich dort zu sein um sich die besten Designer-Stücke zu schnappen! Ich weiß nicht, in welcher Stückzahl die jeweiligen Produkte geliefert werden, der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm. Eines ist sicher: wir werden früh und hellwach da sein! ;-)

Ich weiß noch nicht genau, welche Marken und Kollektionen ankommen werden, das macht die Erwartung auf tolle Überraschungen aufregend und spannend!

Direkt nach unserer Tour am Donnerstag zu TK Maxx werde ich mich mit Fotos und einem Bericht über den Designer-Shopping-Wahnsinn melden. Ich freue mich, meine gefunden Schätze mit Ihnen zu teilen!

Viel Spaß am Donnerstag und Zeigen Sie uns ebenfalls was Sie erbeutet haben!!

 

Xoxo, Gali

Hot Shopping Tip: TK Maxx – big labels delivery this Thursday!

 

Dear friends and readers, I cannot express how utterly excited I am!

A little birdie told me a big secret about what is happening this Thursday.

February 18th will be an amazing day at TK Maxx! They are having a special big delivery of many designer articles coming into all of their stores in Germany. This delivery will include designer clothing for women, men, kids, accessories, home items, shoes, bags and much more.

I don’t know if you are yet familiar with the TK Maxx store concept, but if you are not, then this Thursday is definitely the perfect day to find out! This is a huge store that offers incredible deals. It’s the bargain-hunter’s paradise. There you can find a big offer of well-known designer pieces for a mini fraction of the price. I love going to TK Maxx because it’s the only place to buy designer pieces for up to 60% off (compared to EIA).

Lucky for us fashionistas, this week is when all of the action is happening – just in perfect time for the new spring and summer collections. I’m happy that I live in Frankfurt, because we have a really nice and big TK Maxx here directly in the Nordwest Zentrum shopping mall. However there are many more stores around Germany. Check out their website to find a store near you: http://www.tkmaxx.de/unsere-filialen

As I suggested to my friends, the best is to arrive as early as possible on Thursday morning, so that you can grab the best designer pieces for yourself! I don’t know how many pieces of each item will be delivered, so it is on a first come, first serve basis. I know that we will be there bright and early! ;-)

I also do not know exactly which brands and collections will be delivered, so the delicious surprise is very tempting and exciting!

I will get back to you directly after our excursion to TK Maxx on Thursday with photos and a report about the designer shopping madness! Looking forward to share my found treasures with you!

Have fun on Thursday and show us what you bought!

 

Xoxo Gali
