Hi guys,
(Werbung/Anzeige/Ad)
I am continuing with my travel diary for Lake Garda today. This will be the last part of our awesome trip to beautiful Italy (view part 1 here and part 2 here).

Day 5
Since the weather was not supposed to be as it really was we headed to Sirmione for this day. This place is right at the bottom of Lake Garda and the castle of Sirmione is totally built into the lake.
We wanted to go up the castle and alos visit the grottoes but it was getting warm pretty quick and the walking from the parking spot (you can´t park inside the city unless you are a resident or have your hotel there) was about twenty minutes away.

Altough the weather got hot and humid really fast we walked around an hour until we sat down for a coffee and a drink. I like to sit at the place where the ferry comes in every hour cause there is no better space for people watching than there. 

If you could resist to get some ice-cream until now you can forget about that when you are in Sirmione. The moment you enter the city there is one ice-cream shop after the other. It is incredible how much ice-cream they make. I believe it it more in kg than they have residents. We had some fragola and went on exploring.

Day 6
This day was a little out of plan. We actually decided to drive up the coast (if you have time you should really spend some hours on this cause the lake is so picuresque, it is unbelievable) to Malcesine which we did but we didn´t get out of the car there cause it mas market at this day (have forgotten to check this) and this small city was full with cars and people and there wasn´t one parking spot left.

So we decided to drive to Garda, leave the car there and go for a walk along the waterfront to our favorite place the Barell Bar (Torre al Casello). We had a nice walk along the lake, a great late lunch. This time we switched. I had pizza and Florian ate a panini and overal enjoyed our afternoon.

After getting back to our car we went to the hotel to spend our last hours we had left for our pool there. 

For dinner we drove to Bardolino to eat at Spiller, again. We decided to go there again cause they had a huge screen outside and it was the best restaurant to watch the German soccer game at night. 
I didn´t mind either cause the food there is oh so delicious and they have a such a wide range on dishes they offer.

Unfortunately the Germans lost and dropped out but the food was marvellous. Can´t have it all am I right?!

Day 7
So this was our last day and after breakfast we checked out and headed to Affi. Our highway exit was in Affi and also our last toolbooth. There is also a huge shopping center in Affi where I wanted to check some stores but in fact we both wanted to head home to Chloe so we just grabbed a cup of coffee and some sweet treats and went on the road.

I hope you enjoyed my travel guide. You can view guides and posts to all of the places we went on my travel tab. 

Stay tuned for our honeymoon in September. We are going to stay at an awesome place at the ocean.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Ladylike at Parco Sigurta – Italy….

Hi guys,

I love to dress up you know that well do you?! So I am always searching for great locations which will go with my sometimes unusual but still pretty pieces. For example this skirt. It is an a-line skirt which isn´t very common. The trend is coming more and more but most people opt for a slimmer line but I love it. I have several skirts in this shape and would wear them over and over again so for me this is almost a casual piece.

An a-line skirt creates such a flattering and ladylike silhouette. Have you known that the first skirt designs of Christian Dior after WW 2 where a-line skirts? So something with such a historical value has to be incorporated in today´s fashion and especially into today´s look.

I have found this hidden gem on amazon and ordered it right away is is about 15 Euro and I was surprised of the quality. The skirt doesn´t have lining underneath but the material is thick and not seethrouhg at all so that is totally okay. The sizing is a little tricky. Be sure to always measure. In this case you only have to measure your waist so there is not too much work upfront.

I paired it with a plain white shirt with ruffles sleeves I also got from Asos shortly before our vacation and of course a dramatic hat which matched the coloring of the skirt so good. The bag I took with me is from Guess. I own this one for about three years now and I still love using it especially for vacation. Cause you can zip it inside. The shoulder strap isn´t the original one, I have found the pink one a day earlier during out Milan trip. It is from Carpisa and was only five Euro so what´s not to love about it. And let´s be honest – adding pops of pink to a look never hurt anyway.

Scalloped black swimsuit and leopard sarong on major sale!!!!

swimsuit H&M black here and red here / sarong H&M black here / beach bag South Beach similar version here and here / flip flops Havaianas similar here

….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
this is by far my favorite pool/beach look I have worn on our last vacation. I was never really a fan and I always thought that black wasn´t supposed to be worn in Summer but after I have seen pretty black pieces for Summer every year I have ditched that pretty quick.

A black bathing suit is not only a must have it is super flattering in two ways. Figure flattering cause the black doesn´t produce much contrast which conceals the unliked and unwanted places on your body also if you have a tan and you wear black you look a lot tanner than you actually are and this slims again.

The scalloped trimming on this suit is just amazing. I got it from H&M and it is also available in red and meanwhile on sale so be sure to be quick if you want one. For sizing reference I sized up one size. I always do with swimwear cause they are just so small and tight which I am not very comfortable with.

Another eye-catcher is the leopard sarong I also got from H&M. I really like sarongs or cover-ups at the beach/pool cause also if I am at the beach bar to get coffee or a drink I always wear my cover-up otherwise I feel way to naked.
 I have another post coming up next week covering all the swimsuits I have worn in our vacation and even which I ordered and didn´t came around wearing.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you

Food Friday – healthy fingerfood – zucchini dippers…

Keine Kommentare

 the soccer arena plates are from amazon
….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
we are finally in the last week of the soccer World Cup and I am glad. It had been quite the stress. Watching soccer everyday and although the German team dropped out and the US team didn´t participate we still turned on for every game to at least have it running in the background.
My last fingerfood recipe which goes perfect for watching TV on the sofa I made these phenomenal zucchini dippers. Guys they taste so good, SOO good. I am not a huge zucchini fan and if it is possible I manage my way around them but they are awesome.

Super easy. You only need 4 main ingredients and the spices you like.

Ingredients:
–  1 1/2 cups zucchini (grated)
– 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used parmesan)
– 2 eggs 
– 1 cup bread crumbs 
– spices as you like


– grate zucchini with a kitchen grater on the smallest side
– be sure to get as much water out of the grated zucchini. Works best with a kitchen towel or paper towels
– press hard against to soak up as much as possible
– put all the ingredients together and mix 
– make little tots out of the batter (I used a tablespoon for portioning to get the sizes equal)
– put on a baking sheet and bake at 170° degrees until golden and slightly crisp on the outside
– serve on plate with different dips (mine where garlic and chilli from the BBQ section of our local supermarket)


Any guesses who will win the Soccer World Cup ?
