First Summer Catches

Sales are like an addiction to me. Unfortunately this time I have been so busy with my university and all the exams and there was no time to get in to the city. Even though I knew the shops are already full of tags and posters with the headlines SALE. This was such a punishment for me, knowing that there is something you desperately wanna see and you know you gotta get there as soon as possible in order to catch some good stuff, but you cant.

Oh yeah, we all have to study, sometimes.

I really tried hard to spare some time and even though I still had some assignments to do and I should be studying for my french exam I had to have at least a quick look to ZARA and HM. But for this season I set a budget as I didnt want to buy many things which after couple of weeks wont be that fashionable anymore. Especially now when I have so many things in my head i have to get for the winter/fall season.

First Catches: HM, Zara and Mango.

Platform VS Wedge Sneakers

Wedges Sneakers: Top Shop, Asos and one amazing piece from Marc Jacobs

Wedges sneakers or platforms ??? I say both !!!!

I should probably stop getting rid of things I don't like anymore and just keep all of them. Its not that long time ago, I guess around 1998, maybe at  the 7th grade, when we all were obsessed with platforms. We also loved Spice Girls and Britney Spears, yes there is a connection. I can not believe that they are back.

headdresses

I am probably late with this original accessory, as it already appeared in Vogue in 2010, but after last season, there is a huge comeback of feathers. We can see it everywhere, rings, earrings, belts, headbands, necklaces, handbags or shoes (my favourite for this summer are from Buffalo). The best way how to shine: wear headdresses. Yeah, its little bit controversal, but everyone will notice you. Not very easy to find them but there is a perfect website for this kind of accessories: http://www.loveheadmistress.com/, others can be found at Urban Outfitters, Asos or Zara.

The Big Pony Fragrance Collection

Ralph Lauren made a really good marketing move, after they lunched these 4 fragrances, there is now, at least here in Germany, "Big Pony Fragrance Collection Madness". In most of the parfume stores you get a pony bag as a gift if you purchase one fragrances from this line. This is not only a pretty good deal, as the 100 ml fragrance is about 60 EUR, but the bags are just adorable. Fragrances are amazing too. My biggest favourits are the Pink and the Violet Ponies. It was a huge dilema to choose between those two. The pink one is very fruity, very summer, very fun. The violet is more oriental and stylish. The other 2 are to me too sporty.  Finally i went for the number 2 Big Pink Pony, probably because it just feels like summer. 

Just being cool ... in Germany

It is not my first time, that I am spending longer time in Germany. To me it´s a very nice place to live, people are nice, they like to keep the distance and it takes some time to become a part of their lives, but they are not fake. They are hard working, very disciplined, they like their rules and they would never argue about them. They have it all, most of them. They are driving expensive cars, going out, shopping, travelling. They have a strong economy, enough jobs for graduates, all kinds of internships and also strong state´s support for those who weren´t lucky to find a satisfying job. Most of the young people speak perfectly english, some of them spent some time abroad, mainly in Australia or Asia. But sometimes the way how they think is just incomprehensible. Its probably associated with their love in bureaucracy. Why would you make something more complicated than it really is? Thats just one of cultural differencies which everyone would face coming over here for longer time. But with all these resources, I was really wondering why are they not living it up. Everything has to go according to the plan. Spontaneous? Never heard of it. They would never sacrifice a bit of their comfort to enjoy the life a bit more. And that´s a little bit sad.

How will I benefit?

the moving process (what to do with all this clothes) ?

Jeden by neřekl, jak těžké je se stěhovat se. Ještě těžší je rozlišovat na to, co člověk potřebuje s sebou, co by se mu mohlo hodit, na co nesmí zapomenout a bez čeho se naopak obejde. Jsem zvyklá hodně cestovat, většinou si vezmu s sebou pár věcí a pak všechno pokoupím v zahraničí, ráda nosím nové věci a pořádný shopping beru jako součást té správné dovolené. Tak se mi stalo, že se mi oblečení nějak nakupilo, hlavně to letní a taky šaty. Letní oblečení protože jsem přes léto většinou někde pryč a tak co jsem si minulou sezónu koupila zůstane doma a já se vracím s dalším kufrem plným letních věcí, bohužel je pak už zima a tak letní věci zůstanou viset ve skříni a další letní sezónu zase s prázdným kufrem za velkou louži, proč také tahat dříví do lesa. No a tak se ze mě úplnou náhodou stal sběratel letních věcí, které jsou nenošené a hlavně neunositelné. Šaty jsou etapa sama o sobě. Jsem nejvíc ráda, že se nošení šatů stalo součástí víkendových akcí a my si  bez nich protančenou noc po klubech už neumíme představit a vytahujeme je nejen na večeře ale i třeba na kafe. Šaty vypadají žensky a umí toho hodně schovat, člověk si může klidně pochutnat na pořádný večeři aniž by pak bylo někde něco vidět. Moje láska k šatům je obrovská. Stačila likvidace jednoho stojanu na šaty a postel skoro nebyla vidět.
