DIY Notebooks - Back to School #1

So, since school is about to start again (at least where I live) I came up with my first ever series. This is going to consist of 3 parts so follow me on bloglovin to keep up with the posts! 

I've seen this DIY all over YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest, and it's the most adorable way to spice up your notebooks (or anything else you want to change a little bit). 

All you need to do is basically print out photos, arrange them and then glue them down to your notebook. 

Just google something you like or use pictures of you and your friends or any other memories. I like to print them out quite small, but that's just my preference. 

Then go ahead and cut out all the little pictures. It doesn't have to be a square or anything like that, you can also cut it out in triangles or circles. Do whatever you want! 

The last step is arranging the photos and glueing them down. Just cut of any access, if needed. 

I love the way this looks, kinda like a tumblr dashboard.

Keep your eyes open for the next "Back To School" posts and have a nice week.

Outfits of the Week - Vacation

I'm back from my week at the Baltic Sea and there have been days, that have been really cold. It's definitely not summer anymore where I live, so I didn't got the chance to wear all my flowy summer clothes. I still took pictures from my outfits, but they aren't anything special or fancy. Let's hop right into it!

On Saturday, the day I arrived, I haven't got a proper picture. I just have this one my dad took. I didn't wore anything special, so I think this will still work. I just wore a basic black jumper from Gina Tricot with a black leggings from Primark and white low converse. I wanted to be as comfy as possible for the 4h car ride and since it has been really cold and windy, this worked just fine.
On Sunday we went to a little Museum kind of thing (which was more for little children, but we didn't knew..) and I wore a black pair of jeans from H&M and a pale pink knit sweater by Only. On top I wore my black faux leather jacket from H&M, which I wear a LOT. I also wore my white converse (the only shoes I wore for one week, so I probably will not mention them in every outfit) and this beige and brown bag, also from H&M, which is the only one that is small but still fits my camera.

On Monday we went on a little shopping tour and I wore black high waisted jeans from H&M (available here) with a white crop top. The top has some really pretty crochet details and is really flowy. Because it was quite cold I wore my black leather jacket on top.

Tuesday was a little bit warmer, so I decided to wear my black maxi skirt from Zara. It's just a basic black maxi skirt and I paired it with a cream colored sweater, which again has crochet detailing on the front. It's from H&M and it has only been 15€ (do you guys want to see a haul soon?). I'm also wearing my rose gold Michael Kors watch, which I wear nearly every day.

On Wednesdays we wear pink, just kidding (I'm so funny. No? Ok.). I wore a really pretty beige knit shirt with shorter sleeves and really pretty detailing on the neckline. For pants I wore my high waisted Zara jeans again (I rarely wear blue jeans..). Of course I also put on my watch, which is my all time favorite.

On Thursday it has mostly been raining but we decided to make a long beach walk down to some cliffs. I wore my black rain jacket by Tony Brown, a black New York jumper from H&M (What a suprise! You hear that a lot in this post, don't you?), black jeans from H&M and my white converse (which was no intelligent choice, because they got really dirty..). I forgot to take a photo of me wearing my rain jacket, oops.

Friday is the last day of my Outfits of the week and I wore this light pink chiffon top. It's really sheer and flowy and it was great because it's been quite warm that day. I did bring my rain jacket with me and wore a black pair of jeans from Gina Tricot. Friday has also been the only day I wore my hair open (it grew a lot since I cut it off, which is great!).

Here you can see a little bit of my rain jacket, it's just plain black with red details (and I'm obsessed with it, it's the first rain jacket I own for aaages!!)

I didn't took a photo of Saturdays outfit, because we had to stand up really early and I just wore the exact same outfit as the day we arrived, just a black jumper with leggings.

I hope you enjoyed this Outfit post, even though I didn't wore anything special! Do you guys want to see a haul of what I recently bought?

10 facts about me - TeenBlogSeries

Maybe you heard about it, maybe you don't. There is this new project called TeenBlogSeries, where a lot of teen bloggers participate.

Teen Bloggers Anouska Millar and Beth have decided to start a project called #TeenBlogSeries. Its aim is to bring together lots of the teens/young adults in the blogging community. For the next ten consecutive weeks, over 80 bloggers will be writing every Monday at 6:30pm about many different things, all beauty, lifestyle or fashion related. You can view everyones posts by going to the hashtag on twitter "TeenBlogSeries". If you would like to get involved email: anouskateenblogger@googlemail.com. 

Since I'm still a teen blogger, I joined the group of nearly 80 people and here it is, my first post in this project. There will be a new post every Monday and many other bloggers will post about the same topic. So without further a do, let's get started with the first post : 10 facts about me! 

1.) I'm a huge perfectionist.

2.) I'm really shy/unconfident in school and the total opposite in my free time. 

3.) I rarely eat pork and vegetables and prefer chicken/fish and fruit.

4.) I'd rather have a family night than a girls night out (at least most of the time).

5.) I am basically obsessed with the USA. 

6.) When I'm alone, I always walk around with my phone in my hand to look social.

7.) I thought about starting a YouTube channel several times, but I'm afraid that people would make fun of me so I wait until I'm out of school.

8.) I always text first (and think that I'm annoying). 

9.) I'm a caring/loving person. If I like or love someone, I don't let them go so easily and I'll think about them years after we lost contact. 

10.) I'm really ambitious in everything I do. 

Hope you enjoyed today's post. 

Leave me a fact about yourself in the comments, would love to get to know something about you!

Impressions - Baltic Sea

So, I just came back from vacation to a small town at the baltic sea and I really want to share some impressions, because I really enjoyed it (even though it felt more like autumn rather than summer..)! This is mainly going to be photos with little descriptions, so if you don't like photo-based posts.. this probably isn't going to be super-amazing for you. I hope you'll still enjoy this post !

There will be an Outfits of the week post, so keep your eyes open for that one!

So without further a do,let's get started!

Here are their questions combined (I left out any questions I already answered) :

1. How much time do you spend on blogging?
- I have to say I do not spent a huge amount of time with blogging. I try to post twice a week and I schedule my posts, so I don't write every day or week, because I do not seem to find the time for blogging (sadly!).. It's only a hobby, so I don't feel like I have to spent as much time as a full time blogger haha.
 
2. What one thing would you change about yourself?
- I'd love to be skinnier (especially my legs, oh looord).
 
3. Your dream job.
- Something like International Business Management!
 
4. What is your go to makeup item?
- Definitely concealer, it makes such a huge difference even when you wear nothing else. 
 
5. Favorite musician/band.
- I feel like I don't have any favourites concearning musicians.. I did hear Troye Sivans Album TRXYE a lot, but I wouldn't consider him my favourite. It always changes. 

6. What language(s) do you speak?
- I speak German and English (on a pretty good level, at least I think so) and I also speak Frensh and Spanish (not really good, but I can talk and that counts, right haha?).
 
7. Dream car.
- I'd love a Range Rover Sport or a Range Rover Evoque.
 
8. Favorite food.
- FRUIT (any kind of berries) or gummi bears.

9. Do you have a favorite quote?
- "Learn what inspires you in life and turn it into your life's work."

10. What are some beautiful memories from your childhood?

11. What is your purpose of blogging?

12. If you could see anyone in concert, who would it be?
- Beyoncé !
 
13. Which 3 guests, alive or dead, would you have at a dinner party? Why?
- I hate these questions because I don't really think about things like that.. Maybe Channing Tatum (I think you all know why..), Obama (who wouldn't like to ask him some questions?) and maybe Zoe Sugg/Zoella (because she seems so sweet and kind). 
 
14. What is something you learned in the last week?
- That I need to stop eat so many sweets, definitely ate too much. 
 
15. Is love at first sight real?
- I do believe that you can feel a lot of sympathy for someone when you first met him, but I think you have to get to know the person a lot more until you can call it love.
 
16. Do you have any unusual phobias or fears?
- Nothing unusual.. Spiders, insects in general, bees/wasps, the fear of loosing someone close to me, fear of heights etc. (a lot haha)
 
17. What do you think of facial hair on men?
- Three-day beards are the best thing ever, but I don't like full beards haha. 
 
18. What are you the most proud of?
- That's really hard.. Maybe that I'm really ambitious, which leads to me getting good grades and probably a good job or that I'm able to speak 4 languages. 
 
19. What's your least favourite word?
- Definitely "Swag", just stop, it'll never be cool. 
 
20. Have you met any celebrities?
- No I didn't. I met some german singers and bands when I was 14.. Real celebrities are rare in Germany haha.


That's been a lot, right? Since I do not nominate any other bloggers, I do not have any other questions. So, this is it for todays post, I hope you enjoyed it!

My Swimsuit Collection

If you've read my last post, you know that I'm currently on family vacation.
I thought this was a good time to show you my swimsuits, because I needed to pack them into my suitcase anyways.

I don't own many swimsuits, because I'm living in the middle of the country with no water near by. I basically only need them, when I'm on vacation or tanning in the garden. 

This one is by far my favourite. This top is blue with a floral print and you can wear it either with or without straps. It's padded and (the most important thing) doesn't slide off your body when you're in action. I really like the kinda ruffely texture. This color is perfect for me because even in the summer time I am quite pale and the deep blue doesn't wash me out or let me look like a dead body. I pair this top with basic black bottoms because they make my hips look smaller. I recently bought it from H&M and it was 15€/20$/12£.

I purchased this one also this summer from H&M and it was only 10€/14$/8£. I really don't know how to describe this pattern. It's like stonewashed but with color but at the same time it's totally different haha. It is black and grey with hints of green and blue and it looks super cool. It zips up in the front and has no straps, which seems a little bit difficult but it doesn't slide off when you're in action. In the back it has two straps which would be a little bit annoying when you get tan (I don't get tan, so no problem for me haha) and don't want any tan lines to peak througzh when you're wearing a low cut top. Just like the blue one, I wear this with a basic black bottom.

This last one is also from H&M, but it's really old and I don't know how much I paid for it. It's bright red with ruffles on the top and has no straps. It does slide off when you move too much and the closure doesn't look like it will hold a lot because it's only made of plastic. I still like it because it's so pretty and very comfortable! I have to admit that it makes your boobs look bigger because of the ruffles (which isn't exactly what I need, but I still enjoy wearing it), so if you want to make your boobies look bigger: buy a ruffle bikini top and you're good to go. You probably know what I'm going to say : I wear it with black bottoms haha.

I warned you about the fact that I don't own many bikinis (because I don't need them very often and to be honest, I'm not really comfortable wearing them). I also thought it wouldn't be nessesary to show you basic black bottoms.

Hope you enjoyed this little post, even though it's really short. I just want to enjoy and relax this week because I'm always so stressed out and I haven't been feeling well because of all the things I had to do the past year. I really hope you can understand !

Beach essentials

Since I'm on vacation right now, I thought why not show you my beach essentials. 

Of course I need a towel to lay down when I'm on the beach. I usually love really bright and patterned ones, but this one is so soooft! I'm really pale and I'm working on getting a little bit of a tan this week (even though I never get sunburned or tan, I just stay pale). I still always bring SPF with me because I want to protect my skin and make sure my face doesn't get burned (it's the only part they gets sunburned but never tan..). I also recommend an after sun lotion because your skin looses a lot of its moisture in the sun. I really like the garnier one, it smells amazing and summery and moisturizes very well.

Of course you gotta bring a bikini with you because you're probably laying in the sun and of course you'll go swim in the sea. This time I brought this blue one from H&M with me, but it always varies.

I love to listen to music when I'm at the beach. It helps me to relax and it makes the time go over faster (I'm really impatient and I hate to lay on the beach for a long time doing nothing, and since I'm on family vacation my parent don't want to do anything fun with me). I also love to read a good book and I'm currently rereading "The best of me" by Nicholas Sparks (it's so gooood!!). I usually also bring my sunglasses but they broke, so I need to get a new pair. I also bring some water, but I thought it's unnecessary to take a picture of it.

I know, that really wasn't much, but I don't bring anything else with me to the beach..

Hope you enjoyed. What do you guys bring with you to the beach?

What's in my suitcase

I'M GOING ON VACATION THIS SATURDAY, WHOHOO! 

Can you tell I'm exited ? I'm really looking forward to that week, because the last year stressed me out. I know the next school year will be even more stressful, so I really need to relax and restore my energy. I love to snoop into other peoples stuff, so here is what I bring with me. 

Clothes: 

Of course you need to bring all the basics with you (underwear, socks ...). 

I don't know what the weather will be like because it has always been like one day with pouring rain and the next day sunshine with 30 degrees celsius. 

In case it's going to be cold and rainy I put some high waisted jeans and some leggings into my suitcase. I also bring a hoodie, a sweatshirt and some really thin longsleeves with me because I'm always freezing. 

I hope it's going to be warm though, so I pack a pair of high waisted black shorts and a casual black maxiskirt. To go with it, I bring 4 cute little tops, 3 bandeaus (one is floral patterned and another one is used as part of my pyjamas) and a cardigan, in case it gets chillier. 

For the evenings I bring my leather jacket and a rain jacket (in case it rains), which is way too big on me (but who cares). 

I'm obsessed with dresses at the moment. These are my favourite two dresses (a black and a blue floras skater dress) and of course I have to bring them with me. 

When it's hot, you'll obviously go for a swim, so I bring a bikini with me. I only bring one because it's probably going to be around only 20 degree celsius.. The last thing I bring with me are pyjama shorts (yeah, I do have superman shorts haha) and a big t-shirt to sleep in.

Cosmetics: 

You gotta bring the basics with you, which in my case are two concealers, powder, bronzer, blush and highlighter as well as mascara (plus two powder brushes). I also bring my maybelline brow drama and a clear browgel, because I always use one of them. 

To have a little pop of color I bring a bright coral lipstick and a lipgloss. I also want my lips to be moisturized, so I bring a lipbalm. 

To smell good, I bring my deodorant and my perfume. And for my hair I bring hairspray, bobby pins, hair ties and my tangle teezer. Of course I can't forget my straightener, heat protection spray and a serum for afterwards! 

To remove my makeup I bring some makeup wipes and my cleansing gel. I put my toothbrush and stuff into my suitcase and also bring moisturizer to keep my skin moisturized. 

Of course you also bring the things you use in the shower, towels, body lotion and sunscreen. 

Electronics: 

For Electronics I bring my phone and headphones. To take some photos for some future posts I bring my camera and I also bring my laptop to write down any post ideas. I also bring chargers for everything. I cannot post a picture right now because I didn't put these things into my suitcase yet.. 

I feel like this is a lot of stuff because I had to pack clothes for warm and cold weather.. Do you take that much stuff too?

Hope you enjoyed this little peek into my suitcase!

OOTD - Hot Summer Day

So it has been hot like crazy the last few days in Germany, so I thought why not make an Outfit of the day. It has been really busy outside and I've been too embarrassed to go out there with my tripod and take photos of me.. Instead I shot them inside and added a white background. It's something different and new and I'm not really sure if I like it. I guess I do because I wouldn't have used them, if I was super unhappy with how it turned out.. I don't know haha! 

I love maxi dresses and maxi skirts in summer (because I don't like my legs), so I opted for this top-skirt-combination. I felt really fancy in this outfit! 

The skirt I wear is from H&M and I think you might still be able to purchase it. It is made out if a sheet material and has two slits on the sides, which go pretty far up. Underneath is a little mini skirt, so that you won't be able to see through. I'm not really sure how much I paid for it, but I'm sure it was something about 15-20€/20-25$/10-15£.

The top I wore with it is from Primark and it's a little croptop (I could barely tuck it into my skirt). It has really cute daisies on it and it isn't made out of a normal jersey material but it isn't silky either (I just can't describe it). I really love the back because it's cut out! I bought this one back in spring (probably around april) so this isn't available anymore, but it was only 1€/1,50$/0,50£ !

I wore these cute sandals with the outfit, which I already showed it my "Confessions of a shoeaholic" tag. My feet are really wide so they are basically the only sandals that (nearly) fit me. They've been on sale when I bought them, so they were less than 10€/13$/8£ !

 

I put my hair up into a bun using a hair donut and I've recently been in love with this hairstyle. It's so quick and easy and it's a great option if you can't do a "pretty" messybun haha.

I hope you enjoyed today's post! 

I still feel kinda weird going out in maxi skirts/dresses, because the people here always stare at you if you wear fancier clothes, but I like it, so I'll continue wearing it haha. 

Feel free to leave any post suggestions in the comments below.

Festival of Lights

Yesterday I went to this festival with many walking acts, a lot of food, a lasershow and a huge firework (the biggest in Germany btw) at the end. It was great, kind of expensive (14€/19$/11£ plus food and drinks, which were really overpriced and it wasn't even that good!), but great! Of course I took some pictures to show you what I've experienced, because I really like sharing these little moments with you guys. 

This is going to be a post with many pictures, but who doesn't like a little firework and some pretty pictures? I hope you enjoy today's post and have had a great weekend just as I did! 

I also tried to take some photos during the lasershow, but I forgot my camera and photos taken with my phone don't have the best quality when its dark haha.
