Characteristics
I am …
… Melanie Nurtsch, born 1985 in Nuremberg and I've been living in Munich, my adopted home, for five years now.
Professional …
... I am a trained biological-technical assistant.
But lipedema has taken me in a completely different direction, because I am now a trainer for aqua fitness and a freelance speaker specializing in lymphology. I also work in a medical supply store on the side.
Why am I on the lipedema fashion blog?
After my diagnosis in 2011, I dealt very intensively with the topic of lipedema and a lot of knowledge has accumulated over this period, which I would very much like to pass on to other sufferers.
My perfect day ...
... usually starts quite early on the weekend with a fresh snack. Then it's straight out for a run and then we have a nice breakfast with the family. We usually decide quite spontaneously what is waiting for us, because with a toddler everything cannot always be coordinated as originally intended. In any case, I like going out into nature. Regardless of whether it is for hiking, cycling or simply in the garden.
My best friend values me because ...
... I'm up for any nonsense and sometimes spontaneously go to Lake Garda over the weekend. And because just being who I am. Without airs, honest, direct and with a big heart.
I love fashion ...
... because with its versatility it always inspires me to new looks and I can combine it in such a way that it suits me 100 percent.
My style icon / style model is ...
… Reese Witherspoon and her label Draper James. I love your style because it merges femininity, classic and naturalness.
That should never be missing in my outfits ...
... clearly a matching lipstick and a lovely perfume.
My all time favorite ...
... is my beloved dark blue blazer from Hugo Boss. I wear it on so many occasions!
My favorite shops ...
… Are Peek & Cloppenburg, Boden, Konen and Gerry Weber.
My biggest bad buy ...
... was a balloon skirt with vertical stripes and birds on it. Unbelievable what I was thinking!
My favourite colours are …
… Magenta, gray, dark blue and pastel colors.
I have a weakness for …
... concerts.
I admire …
... people who accept and love each other for who they are. A fact that not many manage!
What is particularly important to me ...
... my little family that gives me support. Shows trust, respect and understanding. And of course my friends, without whom I wouldn't be where I am today.
I still want to achieve that in my life ...
... live, enjoy and remember as many great moments as possible, love. And a trip to New York City!
