SPORTY TOUCH


This denim dress spent the last 2 years in the darkest recesses of my walk-in closet, waiting to be worn one day. I tried it on many times, but never wore it, as it's quite short. A few days ago I decided to wear this shirt-dress with a neon sporty short underneath. I combined it with silver and neon yellow jewellery and with (my definitely cheapest bag) an H&M bag which I normally use as a gym bag :) 
Do you like this sporty combination?

PEACHY DRESS



I spent the last 2 days together with my family in the vineyards of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Amazing landscape, delicious food and quality time with my beloved family. We took this photos in the vineyard estate, where we stayed for the night. I chose a peachy dress from H&M (definitely the cheapest dress I own, only 15 euro from the new DEVIDED collection) with orange and golden accessories.

CREAMY OUTFIT



I finally found some grey-beige trousers that perfectly fit and even better, I found them at ZARA ;) They've got an amazing ornament-pattern and they feel really pleasant next to the skin. I wore them in a very easy combination with a light-beige t-shirt and a neon-orange bracelet. I love to pair statement necklaces or bracelets with easy outfits.

BOHEMIAN GIRL


Yesterday's outfit was inspired by bohemian style. I love to wear boho inspired outfits in summer, wavy hair, golden accessoires and normally I wear a headband or a scarf in my hair to accomplish this look. This oversized clutch definitely is one of my favourites, another present from my granny. She is just the best grandmother and sometimes resurrects wonderful clothes and bags.

FLORAL PUNCH


A Floral Blouse, Shorts and Flats - a floral punch to brighten up the concerte jungle and my stressful life. (but don't we all need stress, somehow ;) - I definitely do). These colours really brightened up my face. I chose this outfit for a study-break-coffee with my sister and a friend. At the moment university absolutely dominates my life and leisure time is extremely rare.
Do you like floral prints?

TOMATO SOUP

TOMATO SOUP


It's really easy to make your own homemade tomato soup and I bet you didn't know it won't take you more than 45 minutes. There's a trick behind the perfect tomato soup....At the end of the day they might sell off tomatoes cheap down at you local market, these tomatoes are just perfect and will make great soup. If you can't get these, buy them a few days before you need them and put them on the windowsill to get ripe.

VINTAGE TOP

I'm in love with this amazing gliter-top my grandma gave me as a present a few weeks ago. She wore this top about 30 years ago and now resurrected it for me. I chose this outfit for a girls-night-out at a beach bar.

Anna Dello Russo for H&M


When I first heared about the collaboration of Anna Dello Russo and H&M , I was very excited. Acctually I wanted to write this post a few days ago, just when I first heared about this great collaboration, but I had no time. Well, Anna Dello Russo is a real fashion icon and fashion maniac and thanks to a penchant for changing her extravagant outfits several times a day at fashion shows, she became a style celebrity. She is the editor-at-large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan. Anna Dello Russo is an avid collector of fashion and jewellery and describes herself as a passionate fashionista.
This will be Anna's second collab, bringing her advanturous fashion sense to the mega-retailer, after working with Macy's last year. According to H&M's press release, ''the over the top'' acccessories will include jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, bags and a trolley. We can definitely expect oversized, glitzy, fashion-forward pieces when the collaboration will be released in over 140 H&M stores (and H&M.com) on October 4th, 2012.
She definitely is one of my fashion icons and her outfits always inspire me. I'm so looking forward to October 4th!
Are you as over-the-top psyched about this as I am ?
I'll see you in line on October 4th. ;)

THE SPIDER EXPERIENCE


A few days ago my boyfriend and I tried my father's new vintage car,  an Alfa Romeo Spider. A special afternoon for my boyfriend as he is a real car lover. The Wörthersee was the perfect location for this drive. My outfit was very casual, a H&M customized Parka, black trousers and the pink dip dyed T-Shirt you already saw on the blog a few days ago.

IN THE VINEYARDS



On Friday my family and I spent a wonderful day in the vineyards between Slovenia and Italy, in the Collio Goriziano. An extraordinarily beautiful area which definitely is Slovenia's answer to Tuscany. We had lunch in a small charming ancient stone village called Brda, this small village feels somewhat separated from the rest of the world. This area definitely is worth a visit.

ZIGZAG TOP


In summer I love to wear bright colours. At the moment I'm obsessed with candy colours and flashy patterns. I combined this zigzag patterned top with simple black shorts and again with my silver sandals (I'm sorry for showing them so often at the moment, but I simply love them).

LIKE A MERMAID


I found this maxi dress a few days ago at Forever21. Normally I don't like dresses from this brand due to the materials they use, but I fell in love with the colour of this one and the quality isn't bad either. I love to wear different blue hues in summer, pieces in  those colours are definitelly a ''must'' in my summer wardrobe.

STARS IN THE SUN


This star-blouse was part of a post a few month ago already. I love to wear this blouse on hot summer days, due to the material and loose cut. Yesterday I wore some of my favourite sandals for the first time this summer, seems like summer is finally here! Hopefully it will stay ;)
