What I bought for our summer vacation in Italy – Lake Garda…

 



….


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…

dress H&M / wedges New Look others here / bag sold out similar here / Mac Versicolour Stain – Forver Darling / sunglasses sold out similar here


….

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.

Flowers and pops of pink…


skirt sold out similar here and here / ruffled muscle tank here and here / lips faint for fuchsia L´Oreal / bag old similar here and here / sandals last season similar here and here / sunnies Asos sold out similar here 

….


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.

Vacation look – buttoned skirt – ruffle sleeves and pompoms…

buttoned skirt Noisy May / white shirt Asos / strawbag Skinny Dip similar here and here / Mules Tom Tailor similar here / sunnies H&M similar here 
….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
happy Hump Day you all. There are only two more days left until the weekend and then there is only one week left until we are leaving for Lake Garda. I can´t even express how happy I am about that.

We are going to relax and unwind and shop and eat lots of pizza. Gimme all the carbs!

But there are lots of awesome places to see and so much to do so I am definitely going to give you a closer look into the big cities we visit and also best Italian shops and activities. 

I am sharing this little outift with you today. This could easily work as a vacation look too since it is easy breezy, comfortable and versatile.

The mules are perfect for walking long distance while exploring a new city or shopping at one of Italy´s adorable markets.

A front buttned skirt is not new but I still love them. I have been eyeing with the white version already and I am definitely get a corderoy version for Winter.

The bag is one of my favorites. I finally got a pink pompom tote from Asos for a reasonable price. But you could easily make one your own. Just have a look at the DIY I posted yesterday.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
