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.

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.

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 ?

and happy Thursday. I am checking back with my 2nd travel guide about our stay at Lake Garda today. I am sharing what we did on day 3 and day 4.
Day 3
On our 3rd day at Lake Gardo we went to Parco Sigurta which is a huge parc. Since the Sigurta family owned the area in 1941 in has been a parc. The first use has been a farm which got destroyed and after that the parc was unclaimed.
There are also several buildings at the park which have been used as secret meeting places but are closed today.
From our hotel in Castelnuovo it was about 15 minutes to drive and we arrived there. We got our tickets (12,50 Euro each) really quickly since there wasn´t a line at all and decided to get onto the little train and ride around the parc first before running around wihtout a destination. It cost 3 Euro extra per person but was great. The park is huge and you really can ´t see how huge from the map. The ride took about 20 minutes and we came back to where started. From there we took a map and decided where we specifically wanted to go.
We went to see the turtles, the water lilies and the koi carps. They also had maze to wander around but there where about a hundred school kids inside so we skipped this one. After walking around another hour we decided to go back to the car and get some coffee at our hotel since the coffee bar at the parc was very crowded.
Overall I liked the parc very much but I was a little disappointed that they didn´t have anymore flowers. They had some roses and some hydreangeas but I expected fields of flowers and that just wasn´t the case.
In the afternoon we went to the pool to relax and read a little and of course for swimming.
For dinner we decided to drive to Garda which is also a really pretty city but we almost always forget about it. We had trouble finding a parking spot cause I couldn´t remember where to park at first and Garda is not that big so we passed through pretty quick. But we found a nice spot not far away and after walking a little we got a front row dining spot which could not have been more picturesque. The restaurant is called Café Roma and you can have dinner there as well as just sit with a drink and stare at the lake. Everything we ate was delicious (view pictures above).
I totally love all of these little cities cause after having dinner you can stroll around, look into all the little shops and maybe sit down at another place to have a drink or two.
Day 4
On our fourth day we finally got to go to the market. I really love the Italian markets since they sell really pretty things from clothing to leather goods and shoes to ceramics (which are the prettiest) and high quality table cloths. I waited on purpose to go to the market on Thursday. On Thursday´s the market takes place in Bardolino and I think this is by far the best location for it. You are walking along with the lake view on your left and the market stalls on your right.
We planed on getting up early but this failed terrible. We where so tired we didn´t hear our alarm but overall we where just about 30 minutes late which was totally fine cause obviously we picked a great week with less crowds than usual.
After buying a bunch of stuff at the market we decided to get into Bardolino itself to get a drink and something to eat but this was by far more exhausting than I thought since it was a hot day and everyone wanted to have a refreshing drink.
It was also our first time to get some ice-cream. I got a scoop of pistacchio but it wasn´t as good as I thought.
The rest of the day was spent by the pool and trying on all of my fashion finds.
In the evening we drove over to Peschiera del Garda which was only about three minutes away. We walked a little along the boardwalk until we got hungry and searched for a restaurant. We ate at the Bellavista restaurant a little outside of the city and the food was delicious.
I had a Cesar´s Salad and Florian ate a pizza. The Aperol Spritz we ordered where huge. I would always go for wine and aperitifs restaurants offer on their menu since they are the affordable drinks. Beer is really pricey in Italy but also who wouldn´t enjoy a glass of red to his pasta or pizza or a glass of white with the fish over a beer.
After our dinner we headed into the city. It is a really nice city with little bridges and lots of flowers. The main restaurants and the main life takes place around the canals inside of the city wall.
I have also found a cute shop where I got an awesome Valentino handbag dupe for a really good price and also such a beautiful black jumpsuit which makes me want to ditch all my LBD´s.
It really doesn´t matter which city you are visiting they are all unique and pretty in their own way.
