My New Home

Portobello Road 6/2/10

I had a fabulous time in London last week. I saw Egyptian Hip Hop ( a great  band from Manchester), Yuck (another great english band!) and She keeps bees (very good singer from the USA) live for free! And I went shopping on Oxford Street, Brick Lane and Portobello Market. 

                        

My Granny gave me a vintage necklace...

I'm cold and I'm lonely and I don't want to revise...but I'm going to London in 13 days!!Can't wait to see 'She keeps bees' and 'Egyptian Hip Hop' live :) Looking forward to good old Portobello Road market as well....hopefully I'll find a nice bag cos I'm really lacking bags atm...

7 [material] things I love right now

- I was reminded of how much I love Laura Laine's illustrations a few days ago when I spotted one of her drawings printed on a tank top at H&M.

This is one of my favourites:

- I also love wolf-prints. I bought the 'three wolf moon' t-shirt and a Topman sweater lately:

- I absolutely adore my Doc Marten's! They're perfect for cold and wet winter days as well:

- I think clothes rails are also brilliant. They're useful and a nice room decoration at once. I bought a simple clothes rail today (at Mömax) and I will take it to my room in Vienna tomorrow (I went home over Christmas but I will be celebrating New Year's in Vienna!).
I will post a picture asap!

- I love the vintage rings, necklaces and bracelets that my grandma gives to me every now and again.

- I love my mum's red nail polish and I think I'll have to steal it before I leave tomorrow :)

- I love my black Zara coat with the very big hood! (that nearly got stolen at the hairdresser's today!)

I'm dreaming of studded walls and velvet floors

I found some pics on my netbook in a folder called 'INSPO'...so here's my timeless inspiration:

I love these vintage dresses and lately I bought a nice pale pink dress at h&m that looks a bit like the one in the first pic. :) I'd love to have a mint tutu dress though!

I also love the 'shabby cottage' or french vintage style...all in white and pale pink and mint. Brilliant.

I consider this as my next DIY project. I want to buy some old deer horns at a flea market (I've seen plenty last time I went to a flea market) and paint them....maybe add some lace or ribbon to it :)

Insomnia

It's Monday, 4am and I'm still not in bed!I was experimenting with the blog layout a bit...as you can see it didn't turn out too well :P
I will probably change it tomorrow and go to bed now...I need to buy some hairdye tomorrow as well, and gotta attend Uni in the evening :)
I'm going to say goodbye to my beloved bleach blonde hair but atm I think it's really better to stop the bleaching cos it actually has ruined my hair after a few years xD
This week is going to be good I think.I ordered a new digital camera and I can't wait to dye my hair and take pictures of the result with my new camera.I also need to do an outfit post so badly!Somehow I never took a decent pic of any of my favourite looks...ah well...I hope it's gonna change soon!
I feel like a uber lazy student cos all I can think of is shopping and food and what to buy next ...but I actually did some coursework this weekend and haven't been out for drinks :)
I've got a job interview at h&m on wednesday....I hope I'll get the job to earn a little extra money although I don't really have time for a job ..but we'll see...

p.s.: I've been watching a lot of 'Gossip Girl' lately and absolutely fell in love with the Birkin Hermes Bag (Serena's mother's got a big collection of them^^)

Halloween

I'd love to have a halloween costume like that one.Inspired by the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland :)

In generall, watching this old disney movie is very inspiring!

I might try to sew one for next year...or just order it somewhere...I think the colors and the hat are awesome!!

Vienna Calling

So...all the moving is over and I'm finally living in my new flat in Vienna!
I already spotted some very fashionable people and got a bit of inspiration but I don't have any money for shopping at the moment -.-
Meanwhile I'm enjoying the sunshine on my roofterrace :)

silver chain headband by primark/velvet waterfall jacket by topshop

And through the downcast lashes I see the dull flame of desire

Object of desire:Unfortunately these lovely warm boots cost a fortune...but luckily I found some similar (I'd say even better!) ones for only 15€ :)
Now I'm prepared for cold winter days and rainy autumn afternoons in England as I'm going to Englang for 10 days on Saturday!Yay!

I also found a very nice room in a newly renovated and fully furnished flat in Vienna.I'm moving on the 30th September and will post some pics sooooooon :)
Have a lovely week everyone xx

Primani Parka

I just fell in love with this lovely sequinned parka that will be available in Primark stores from end of September.
I'm visiting some friends in England from 19th till 29th September and hopefully I can get one of those shiny coats!
<3

I'm talking to the [wo]man in the mirror.....

I'm going to Vienna in 10 days to hunt for a room!
I hope I'll find something decent and affordable :)
I wore my Aaliyah Lace Up Boots today.I love them and cycling with 4 inches high heels is so much more fun!
xx

Sorted.

I am back in Germany and it's great!I've got such a lovely life atm.I'm not working,just enjoying the time before it's getting stressful.September will be worst.I have to go to Vienna to find a nice afforable room and enrol at Uni.Then I'm going to visit some friends in England for 10 days and after that I have to move out of my appartement in Germany to Vienna!
I'm not going to LCF although I was offered a place,but I just cannot afford it.Which is a real shame -.-
So...I'm trying to make the best out of life in Vienna ... I know quite a lot of peeps there and hopefully I will meet many more. :)
Maybe I'll meet Eszther from stylorectic there as well xD..or some other bloggers....
btw I received the Topshop giveaway linen bag...it's lovely and I wore it when I was visiting a friend in Vienna last week ;)
Hope you had some nice weeks as well!

Topshop Giveaway

Got this email today...ordered my shoes two days ago -.-
I probably won't get a back....and I'm not ordering something else now...
but I think you could easily make a bag like that yourself!Maybe I'll try it^^
xx

Farewell UK!

In 5 days I'll be leaving the UK as I'm finishing my gap year.
I'm going back to germany for the whole of august and then I will hopefully start studying at London College of Fashion in september.I've already got an unconditional offer for a place. :)
Anyway, I'm really sad because I met a lot of great people here and I had an amazing time!

As a little farewell gift I finally ordered the Aaliyah Lace Up Boots from Topshop and my boyfriend gave me a lovely brooch :



I really hope that I can go back to England but I will continue blogging from germany aswell of course! xx

Kate Moss Wavy Bob

I've been thinking about dying,cutting or growing my hair a lot in the past weeks.And finally I made a decision: I want my hair to be like Kate's in this pic!
I think my fringe is a bit too short though but as soon as I'm back in germany (my flight is in 9days!!) I'll go to the hairdresser and get a new haircut.My hair will be thankful aswell I reckon (it's properly damaged from bleaching) x)

Graveyard Cat

I went to the graveyard today to take some shots....I know it sounds odd but I love old graveyards and they make a nice scenery for pics :)
I think this jumper is also quite odd but it kept me warm today and I love my new shoes.SO glad I bought them!
Check out my Lookbook site.I'm still working on taking nice outfit shots...but most of the time there's no 'photographer' around ;)

Open Day at LCF,Oxford Street and Portobello Market

Yesterday I went to an Open Day at London College of Fashion and had a look at this year's graduates' portfolios.It was really interesting and a very friendly course advisor helped me with my application for a loan from germany.I've already got offered a place at Lcf and I am hoping that I will get a loan to study in London!
Anyway, I went shopping in Oxford Street afterwards and spent hours at Topshop.This store is just amazing <3
I also went to Portobello Market, looking for some granny boots and guess what: I found some but not one pair in my size!So unfair -.-

But luckily I had bought these really nice shoes at Topshop already, so I wasn't too disappointed.
I also bought a lovely grey and babypink dress, a plain grey t-shirt (a basic yay!) and a knitted cardigan with some lace and short sleeves.
All in all it was a perfect shopping day in London.(More money to spent would have been appreciated though^^)
Hope you had a lovely weekend as well xx

49 Days left in England

Then I'll have to say goodbye to my second home -.-
I'm absolutely not looking forward to it but my gap year is going to an end and I'll have to start Uni soon.I'm glad to see my family in Germany again though!
I feel really sad that I didn't take enough care of my blog because there are so many things here in England that inspire me...and so much to blog about!
But I guess I'm just not a blogger (not yet?!) and I'll try to give my best in the next few weeks [promise to myself]
I will also continue this blog when I'm back in Germany or wherever this random life will lead me to :)
