Hi dolls,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
today I am writing about the second city we went to while our trip to south-tyrol, to Bolzano. You can view last weeks post about Bressanone here.

We only had one day and one night to stay in Bolzano. So after checking-out at our hotel in Bressanone we went on a half hour drive to get to our next destination. The Eggentaler hotel in Bolzano. It was a really nice hotel. Nondescript on the outside but wow in the inside. A really modern hotel with a countryfied twist. I don´t know if that makes sense to you, you probably gotta see it on your own.

After checking-in we went directly to the city centre. I especially wanted to go to Bolzano cause they have my two favorite stores in Italy – Kiko Milano and Carpisa. They really have some beautiful pieces of make-up and handbags there. 

After shopping we went to a big place in the middle of the city where all the restaurants and coffees where located and had some lunch. The view was amazing. You can have a look at all the old buildings and at the same time you can see the mountains very clear since you are at the lowest point in the valley.

The weather wasn´t so nice. It rained from time to time but it was still warm so we didn´t mind. We went back to the hotel and rested a little before we went back into the city to have some food. It was a completet different scenery in the evening cause they where almost no people left. We had a quick dinner and went back to the hotel as a big thunderstorm started, although we had to pack for the next day cause I wanted to get to Merano as early as possible in the next morning so I wouldn´t miss the market.
The buildings are really pretty although I think they aren´t as typically Italian as they would be way down south. They have lots of arcs and underpasses on their main streets. 
This really was a quick round up today but as I mentioned we only had one full day there so we didn´t do this much. 
The last city we went to will be up next week. So stay tuned.
As always thanks for stopping by. 
Take care. See you.

Hi dolls,

I had been so excited all along to show this travel recap with you. There where a few months between this vacation and our last trip to London and for me it seemed just like an endless time of waiting and of course time flew by during our stay, cause that´s how it is when you are enjoying your time so much.

This time we went on a (real) roadtrip. Normally I do not like this kind of vacations (went to brazil and had been on an roadtrip for almost three weeks – and don´t get me wrong it was beautiful but just so exhausting driving long distances until you get to a hotel where there might not even be a free room. So this time I planned upfront and booked our hotels early because we took Chloé with us and so we needed a dog-friendly hotel and we stayed a few days at every city we where stopping so I did not want to change accomodations inbetween this time. 

Yes we took Chloé and I had been so happy about this decision. I am always sad when I have to leave her at my parents house and it makes me even sader seeing other people on vacation who took their dogs with them. 
She had been really patiently during the drive and all the waiting and she really enjoyed the nature and we where there 24/7 so this had not been a problem at all.

So for our first three days we stayed in Bressanone (Brixen). This is a really small city (on some times there was no one on the streets) but also one of the biggest of south-tyrol so you can see this is a small part between Austria and Italy but it belongs to Italy.

After arriving at our hotel (the Löwenhof Hotel) and checking-in in the afternoon we first had coffee and a panini. Afterwards we went to the room and took a nap before heading to the pool.
For dinner we went down in the city. We ate at a restaurant called „Torre Biance“ which means white tower – one of the sights in Bressanone. 

On our second day we decided to go a little outside the city by driving to a mountain called Plose. We took the cable railway to get to the top. Chloe wasn´t amused by the way. After we arrived it was pretty foggy but it cleared up really soon. We went on the trail to take a long walk with Chloe but turned back very soon as she was followed by a big free running cow. So we went to the mountain restaurant, had some coffee and enjoyed the view before taking the cable railway to get back to the car.
 After exploring some nature we went to the city centre to get some ice cream and to take a look at the shops. They didn´t have many since the city is little but I found a really cool italian store called Tezenis. The sell underwear and bathing suits and I found this super cute pineapple swimsuit and a ruffle bikini.
We went back to our hotel to lay at the pool and had some delicious mexican food at „Bufalo Cantina´s“ for dinner. 
 
The third day was filled with adventure. We drove to Sterzing, a small place nearby and went up the „Gilfenklamm“ a ravine which has so many clear waterfalls and beautiful nature. Chloe was really into it. She loved hopping her way up to the top. Arriving at the top we first had lunch at a restaurant. We ordered some typical food for the area and didn´t get disappointed. In my opinion we didn´t eat better the whole week than in this place. We had „Schlutzkrapfen“ – a spinach filled kind of pasta which butter and parmesan cheese and „Nocketrio“ – three different dumplings filled with mushrooms, spinach, cheese and a cole slaw with bacon topped with butter and cheese. So many calories but so delicious. On our way down and back to the car it started raining cats and dogs and we where soaking wet after a short time so the only thing we did for this day was taking a long and hot shower and eat dinner at the hotel´s restaurant. 

So in fact we did a lot during our first three days. 

What do you think ?

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
since travel season is in its fullest and we are also on vacation in two weeks I started to get some of the beauty items together I want to take with me. We are going to travel by car so I am not really limited regarding the space or the number of things I am taking with me but lots of you are travelling by plane so I wanted to structure this unitary for everyone. 
So let´s get over to packing. Since last year I am always taking a hair dryer in travel size with me. We had the worst hair dryers even at great hotels (or none) and I just feel more comfortable using my own. I got the Remington on the go hair dryer.

 Another small zipper bag I am taking with me is this one from Douglas. It fits the theme really nice as it says „time to travel“. I am storing all the small stuff we are taking with us like medicine, my dietary supplement, cleaning wipes for glasses, scissors and tweezers etc. 


One more product I found for all the bigger bottles which don´t fit into another case is this one from amazon. It looks like the case of a sleeping bag from the outside but it really fits a lot.

Now we are heading over to the beauty department. I always purchase the products we are using in a travel size. First of all they are not as big and as heavy as the originals and they are super cute. It depends on where you are heading but make sure to take sun-protection with you. This is very important for your skin, you won´t get a sunburn in your vacation. This would be too bad.
When I am on vacation I a not using eyeshadow on a regular base so I am just taking a small palette with some nude shades like the L´oréal Paris The Nudes with me. Speaking of applying eyeshadow, the brushes I need are stored in this beautiful pink brush case.  
For removing my make-up I am taking the Tea Tree Make-up Remover Wipes from The Body Shop with me. They leave your face super clean and with a nice and fresh feeling. Also I am adjusting my face lotion to the climate whether is a dry air or the humidity is very high. To avoid breakouts caused by bacterias I am bringing my own face towels with me cause you never know what products they use for washing. 

What are your go-to products ?
Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
first of all you need to have a closer look where are you going and what are you doing cause this is such a versatile country. You may need different kinds of things for city trip than for a more adventorous stay outside the capitals. 

Since we decided to mix and match our trip like this there are a little more things in my suitcase than usual. So let´s start.

So what do you think about the suitcase ? Isn´t it cool. It is from suitsuit (I recently discovered this brand as I was on the hunt for a new suitcase and I did not want to spend a fortune) and they are available in two sizes and in a bunch of different colors. I had a hard time on deciding which one I should take (wanted this color so badly but I am not 12 anymore).


 Let´get over to packing. I love to take colorful and patterned skirts with me on vacation, this means I always have several kinds of white shirts/t-shirts/tops with me. That already makes the half of my vacation wardrobe. The other half are mostly swimsuits, shoes and other kinds of accessories. I try to keep my accessories in colors which match most of my wardrobe. For summer yor are always good to go with nude or white or blush tones for your handbags for example. But as it turns out (always) I am overpacked at the end and could stay about 3 weeks longer than we booked. Oops 🙂 #packingproblems



I do have a several post on what beauty items I am packing for our stay in Italy wich is going to be up next week so stay tuned.


As always thanks for stopping by.


Take care. See you.
