Pullman City and Ocean Colors…..

Hi guys

about a week before we headed to Italy we went to Pullman City for a day trip so here is a quick review about it.

It is a Western City near the Bavarian Forest. In fact it is super cool. They have a Main Street like in Disneyland where are the Restaurants and stores and also the Parade comes along this way. We walked arround and took a look at the tipis and the log houses and also the gold washing area. They have an earth hole too where you can get information about the Indian tribes.


 
After that we watched the American History Parade on the Main Street. Pretty cool and you can really learn about the history.
 


 

And of course we had some dinner at the Mexican Restaurant. It tasted pretty awesome and also looked great.


As the weather forecast said it was going to be pretty hot I decided to go with this ouftit and I must say it wasn´t a bad decision. The weather matched perfectly with a Western City.
 

Tube Top – Amisu (New Yorker)
Skirt – H&M
Flats -Ipanema
Bracelet – Tamaris
Ring – Bijou Brigitte
Bag – David Jones
Sunnies – Ray Ban

 
It is totally worth it. It´s a pretty cool change not to spend the day in a shopping centre or your local place. The food was also really good too – they have a lot of different restaurants so no one has to stay hungry. The parade was great and the buildings there are soo great. The details are stunning. It makes you feel like you are really a part of it.

Have you ever been to a themd park ? And did you like it ?

Take care. See you. Love K.

Lago di Garda Travel Diary….

Hi guys

today I am doing a recap off our Italy vacation.

We stayed at the Sportsman Hotel in Bardolino for the whole trip. It is a really nice Hotel with a mixed audience. They have a private beach just 20 seconds to walk. Really really close and pretty. You can have dinner at their restaurant or you sit outside in the nice patio for a Bellini. The breakfast variety couldn´t be any better. 
Rooms are big and clean – not really fashionable but timeless in their furnishing.
 They also have a pool for the case you don´t want to swim in beautiful Lake Garda or you can rent a bike and make a tour to one of the old cities which are all nearby.


Day 1:
We arrived at Lunchtime and after walking arround in the hotel we went outside the next restaurant we could find to grab something to eat and get a drink in the sun. We found a great place which I called the „Barrel Bar“ – in Bardolino – because all the tables were barrels. We stayed there quite a while. After getting ready for the evening we went to Garda.

The Barrel Bar

Day 2:
We got up early because we drove to Verona. It is about 45 minutes away and they have a beautiful old town with a collosseo and lots of shops. LOTS OF SHOPS 🙂
I found a Kiko and a Carpisa – two of the most colorfullest and sweetest shops I have ever seen and of course I bought some stuff.








At night we went to Peschiera del Garda for a good night drink and a fantastic view at the harbour.


Day 3:
Got up early too beause we had to get to the market in Bardolino as quick as possible to get a parking spot. They got lots of different pieces of clothing for fall so that was definitely a hit. Got some snacks for lunch and of course the typical  and the best view onto the shimmering Lake Garda.

In the afternoon we lay at the hotel beach area and just read a book and relaxed. It was super hot this day (almost 40 degreees).

In the evening we went to beautiful Lazise to get some dinner and to walk arround the city. The waterfront there is adorable and the entrance into is just adorable.




Day 4:
On our last day we went to Sirmione another old and pretty city with an old castle we took a better look at. After grabbing some ice-cream and sitting arround with some coffee and watching the other people we headed back to the Hotel beach for some refreshment.

In the evenig we went to an awesome restaurant in Bardolino. It is called Spiller and it has Austrian kitchen. The food was sooo delicious and after all the Pizza and Pasta a welcome change. A ate an awesome burger (not really Austrian food but a great decision) which was probably the best I ever had.

After eating we went for Mini-Golf and I won – didn´t even think about that. It has been a great but also very sad last evening. 
We are going to miss Lake Garda a lot but definitely coming back.
Day 5:
After getting some pancakes for breakfast we packed and headed back home to little Chloe. She was so happy to see us again.

It was the best trip I had in a long time (maybe of the great company ^^) – I honestly got no downsides – wich is pretty awesome. The only thing might be that it was too short but time always runs fast when you are enjoying things.

Wishing everybody a great Friday and a nice weekend.

Take care. See you. Love K.

Weekend getaway……..

Hi guys and happy Monday,

isn´t it always nice to get out of our daily routine even if it is just for a weekend ??

My boyfriend and I do have lots of places which are nearby and we both would like to see.

So this is what we choose for this time: Salzburg in Austria

I have been there twice already. It is a really pretty and old city. It has the house of Mozart the famous musician and poet who wrote plays like Cosi van tutti and a lot more…





The also do have an old fortress on the top of the city. You can go there by foot or you can take the cable railway. You have a nice view from out the cabins but it is also pretty high.


The also have a zoo and another big castle outside the city but we didn´t have this much time to get a closer look at everything and it also shouldn´t get that stressful.




Hotel: 
It is a really nice and very modern hotel. It isn´t directly located in the city centre – but you can go by bus – takes only 15 minutes – really quick and comfortable into the city, so you won´t get stuck in traffic and you won´t have a parking spot problem. 
The rooms have a wooden flooring and a balcony, a really comfortable Sessel, a double bed and a TV. You could also get two single beds in one room. 
They got an english breakfast buffet in the morning with scrambled eggs and bacon and beans, tea and coffee. And also croissants and rolls and cheese, jam, sausage and cereals. More than enough.




Food:
For Lunch we went to the Zipfer Bierhaus – they have their own beer brand and also delicious and hearty food. I can recommend the Grill Plate with vegetables and french fries and also the Tiroler Gröstl (made of bacon, potatoes and egg).

After exploring the city and looking at lots of menus we decided to have dinner at the Sternbräu. 
This is such a cool restaurant. It has 4 entries, one on each side and there is a different location at every side. They have a lounge, a restaurant, a coffee shop and a „Beergarden“ where you can sit outside for dinner. Pretty awesome !!
I went for the spinach dumplings – they were so great that I cooked them for us last week and they almost tasted as good as the original ones – with a sauce of melted butter and parmesan cheese. Yummy 🙂
My boyfriend ate the roasted pork with a sauce made of dark beer and also dumplings (but without the filling). The meat was so tender – just delicious.
We couldn´t eat a desert so I can´t give you any advice about that cause the main dish was so much.


Shopping:
There is one street in the city centre where are all the shops located. It is called the Getreidegasse.
They got all the stores we already know like Mango, Zara and H&M. But there is also a Louis Vuitton and a Massimo Dutti. I went to Claire´s because I like looking arround for jewelry and decoration stuff and cute little things. You also need to go to the Fürst shop. They sell the original Mozart Kugeln – filled with marzipan and pistachio. 
It had been a nice change to get away – even if it was just for 2 days – just to be together and have a great time exploring another city and enjoying great food.
Stay tuned for our next getaway 🙂
Take care. See you. Love K.

Travel Gadgets…….

Hi guys
as you all might know – and maybe you are allready tired of hearing it, I am very sorry – our summer vacation is very close now and of course I got some cute and practical stuff for packing without getting stressed and a lot of style.
Jewelry Travel Case from Lakeland 
This is so practical to me. You can store the earrings and rings you want to take with you while travelling and as it is super soft inside you don´t have to be worried something could get lost or even break.

 

 

Customized luggage tags from Zazzle
I ordered these a few weeks ago at their website. You can take a pattern they already have and choose the color and the font you like to have or you can upload your very own. 
They start making your order after you set it and I gotta say it came here pretty fast. It only took about 10 days. First I wanted black and white ones which go with all of my luggage pieces but as a girl you can never go wrong with pink – am I right ?

 

Clear toilety bags (similar here) from Amazon
This was definitely necessary for me. I do not have a lot of patience so if I am searching for something and I can´t find it as quickly as possible I get really nervous and then I won´t find it at all. But with these transparent toiletry bags it is super easy. You always have a look at everything that is inside plus if one of the products leaks during your journey can just wipe it off and go on. If that happens with a bag made of fabrics you usually have to wash it first before using it again. So this is a pretty simple and cool solution for me.

 

 
As an additon to my suitcase I usually take a weekender with me to put in everything else I don´t want to pair with my clothing – like my shoes, my toiletry bags or my hair dryer and curling wand – so it doen´t get wrinkly or dirty. I got this one years ago and it works very good. They have three different sizes S, M and L and since a short time you can get yours customized with you name on it. It has the shape of a doctor bag so it opens really wide on the top. I like the fabric a lot and they have so many different colors and patterns. The small one could also be used as a diaper bag.
 


 
and last but not least….

Mini-duplicates from the original I called them „Bathroom products“:
Not only that they are super cute – cause they are – the range of mini-me products is super wide. So almost everybody can get his´s or hers favorites in tiny for travelling or just for fun.
 

This is how my current packing Situation Looks ….


 

Wishing everybody a good time. I am already home from work and enjoy my spare time outside in the sun with Chloe.

Take care. See you. Love K.
