Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
since we didn´t spend our summer vacation at Lake Garda last year I have been pretty excited that we are going in less than a week this year.

For this reason and many more I have rounded up all the beautiful pieces I got for the amazing scenery of our favorite vacation destination.
First of all I am a skirts girl through and through so I will always prefer a skirt or a dress over a pair of pants. I have gotten some skirts which I would say are my signature skirt and I also got one combination which was a little out of my comfort zone but I ended up liking it a lot.
I got this Pull & Bear striped and buttoned down mid skirt with the matching top, a crop top. I always loved the combination of a high-waisted skirt and a crop top but I never dared to wear it. My first thought has been – always – people can see the fat on my back and it would also uncover some weird spots on my body but after trying it on and showing it to Florian we decided we love it.
Dresses are also high in my vacation choice. They are easy to put on and you always look great in an off-shoulder dress on your vacation. With taned shoulders, statement earrings and a messy bun. I got this dreamy off-shoulder buttoned through dress with ruffle sleeves in a gorgeous reed color from Asos. Paired with a basket bag and a pair of nude wedges this will look awesome. I also had my eyes on the same version with a yellow gingham print but one is enough – at least for now.
Another dress I ordered and wasn´t sure about it first is this rainbow striped off-shoulder sundress from Asos. I really loved it on the model and then wasn´t sure about it as it got in but the more I tried it on the more I liked it so I kept it. I don´t mind it looking like a circus tent. It reminds me of it somehow but no one else sees it that way. Combined with a nice shopper bag and a pair of flats – wanted to wear it with wedges but in my opinion the dress is too short for high shoes – this is a really great and effortless summer look.

Another look I packed was a pair of shorts and a matching off-the-shoulder top from H&M. The only reason I packed this was because we wanted to go by bike on one day as I am mostly wearing midi dresses I don´t want one to get ruined by hanging in the bicycle chain. The shorts are linen and old but I still love them. The white color matches with everything and the highwaist is great for going by bike. No one wants to uncover his butt. 
I paired it with a airy and thin top in red. Might be better if people see me from far away. Not the best biker over here.


Another item I loved packing are culottes. In fact I adore this type of pants a lot. They are easy, versatile, trendy and so comfortable. I packed one in a vibrant and yellow color and another on in black with a mixture between cheetah print and polka dots. Going to get so much use out of them while summer.


Since I am only owning one romper I figured it would be a nice change to wear a jumpsuit out for dinner. I got mine from SheIn and I was so surprised as it came in. It has a nice quality and is super soft. Also it fits perfectly. It is the floral print jumpsuit and for 18 Euro it is a nice change for a dress.

Let´s move on to swimmwear. I needed lots of swimmwear. We usually don´t go to a lake or river to bath in the summer so if we aren´t on a pool/beach vacation (last one is two years ago) I really have no interest in buying swimmwear since I don´t need it. 
This year is different. I got several high-waisted bikinis and also bathing suits with matching pareos.


First of all I got the frill polka dot set from South Beacht – polka dots, red and ruffles.Period.

You can buy them separately but I never get single pieces. Top and bottoms.
Next set is from SheIn. White, ruffles and flowers. 

Also got a backless tassle tie pompom cover-up from SheIn. The other sarongs I have are from H&M just in different colors. 

A black bathing suit is a must in my opinion. Shop mine here. It is from H&M. They have so many different ones it is hard to decide.

Second bathing suit is from SheIn. I got mine in a gorgeous bourdeaux color. Makes the crochet trim pop right out. Am I right?


Other additions to my beach wardrobe are sun hats. Got a simlar one to mine here which says “Chase the sun” and I also bought a new beach tote with the same slogan in rose gold. Love it. I ordered it from Asos but the brand is called South Beach and I love their cool items and also their reasonable prices.

Phew – that was a long one but I am just so excited for our trip. Hopefully the weather will be good.

Off shoulder dress – raffia bag + MAC Versicolour Gloss…

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

I know it isn´t even official summer and I won´t complain but in these hot and humid days all I am craving is an airy oversized non sticky off- shoulder dress which makes this piece perfect.


It is from the H&M L.O.G.G. section and I love it. Got it in two more colors (navy and white dots and black and white stripes) but I think I like the green one the most.


I paired it really simple. Just put on a pair of white wedges and a pair of white sunnies and a matching bag. Unfortunately the little straw bag is sold out but I think this pretty ring handle bag matches as well. 


The gloss I am wearing is from MAC. The Versicolour Stain in Forever Darling. Usually I don´t buy a gloss cause I am still on the matte wave but this one was a gift to another purchase and I love it. It dries really good – not as good as the Retro Lip Stains  but for a gloss pretty well – and stays a long time.

Thanks for stopping by guys. After two day I have only 2 work days left. Italy I am coming.

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

why not starting a slow and tired Monday with some pops of pink. I am such a visual person and colors do a lot for my mood (even if not for my tiredness) so every once in a while I need to switch my nudes and whites for pops of pink or red.


I got this skirt a few weeks ago from the Asos sale section and loved it ever since. This is one of my favorite style of skirts. A midi a-line. The pattern and colors are totally me so this was a must buy.


The look I am sharing above is how I stlyed it for work so if you are working at an office which isn´t super formal you can easily pair it with a ruffled muscle top otherwise I would recommend a blouse.


If pink isn´t your thing you could also go with the apricot shade in the skirt. This is why I love patterned skirts so much cause you can extend the way you want to stlye them.


Hope your weekend was as great as mine. We did a lot of stuff but not in the stressful way. Yesterday we visited a cave nearby and it was a really cool experience also cause it only had 8° degrees inside.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
(post contains affliliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate links)
I am finally packing for Italy. It´s like I have been waiting for this vacation like forever. With all the wedding planning and work besides I am really needing some days at the pool. Eating pasta, drinking wine and enjoying the sun. Hopefully I am able to read a book or two I packed.


I am always on the hunt for smart travel gadgets (and of course cute ones) so by the time we book a vacation I start on researching what other bloggers got and also what for example amazon recommends. 
So I am back for packing this year with the Suit Suit Caretta in color Pink Lady in size 75 cm (not picutred). And the matching packing cube set in pink dust cause I really hate when panties, socks or my bikinis flying around in the suitcase. The middle one would also be perfect for storing your belts.


Let´s move on to antoher really cute thing I got. A passport case from Sass & Belle in a vintage map print. In fact I wouldn´t need my passport for this trip cause we are travelling inside the EU and my ID card would be enough but let´s be honest – how cute is this. I got mine from amazon but Asos also carries it.


I always put my jewelry in a different and safe case cause I hate when all the pieces get lost or tangle up. A few weeks ago I found this adorable golden (seems like I have a thing for gold here) jewelry case for on the go. It seems kind of small but it works for me. 
 It is from Songmics. They sell various stuff on amazon and I really like their brand. So far I have gotten an earring rack, a clothes rail a also a small bench which acts like a side table. They have the best acrylic containers for jewelry and make-up and so much more. Totally recommend their stuff.


Tech pieces can be really tricky for me cause I want them to look cute but that doesn´t always mean that they are functional or great quality but I think I did pretty well this time.

The orange travel case is from London. I have seen it at a little store down at the uber. In my opinion it is very practical when you have a case where you can store all of your paperwork like hotel reservations, receipts or tax forms. Most of the stuff is saved on our phones but I really prefer having a piece of paper in my hand. Since I don´t know where I got it I have listed a similar option.

Belkin MixIt metallic AUX cable
We are going by car and we have been to Italy a few times before. Since you are passing two countries and so many regions you have to switch your radio stations a few times and that is so annyoing. This is the reason why we got an AUX cable this time. Now we are able to listen to our Spotify playlists and sing along.
Poweradd Pilot powerbank in color gold

This probably is self explanatory. I can´t change my phone in the car cause I would need another adapter so I got a matching powerbank to keep my phone fully loaded. Also great if you are taking day trips.
nylon micor USB charge cable
2 pieces in the set in color gold
I was tired of the plastic cords breaking so I got nylon cables. They are also 2 metres long so can plug them in easily and don´t have to worry about stepping on your phone while it charges on the floor.

Mosiso notebook case
in color blush
When we are just a few days away I am usually not taking my notebook whith me cause I can easily plan posts upfront and don´t have a problem. But this time we are staying a complete week and I want to post looks from Lake Garda as new as possible.



Phew this was a long post but at least I have covered all my important travel stuff. There is going to be a second post how I pack my beauty products next week. Be sure to check back.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
