A Short Holiday at the Baltic Sea.

August 8, 2013

Hello, dear readers! :) Flo and I have recently been escaping to the Baltic Sea for a few days and it was so relaxing there. We both enjoy being at the seaside. Too bad that those trips always go over way too fast.

We and Mogli spent lots of hours at the beach and we were lucky that there had hardly any rain.

I loved wearing my new wind and rain coat that I had just scored during a shopping trip shortly before we drove to the seaside. :) Pink and polka dots are perfect. :)

I love this photo of Flo! :*

Mogli is so cute, we were having a ball with us and he ran around like crazy. ;) He enjoys being at the seaside, too.

Sandy nose, sandy tounge, yummy! :D

The dog and the sea.

Haha, we tried to take a photo with the self timer and the moment Flo and I were sitting in the sand, Mogli jumped into our backs like ridden by the devil. :D This little monster! :D And then the photo was taken the moment we jumped up to chase him over the beach. ;)

It’s hilarious how Mogli is sitting there next to us, his back turned towards the camera. It seems as if he wanted to state that he has nothing to do with us. :D

Haha, he found a beach ball that someone else had left. Do you see his crazy eyes? :D

Our hotel Schloss Schwansee, so beautiful and quiet.

Happy beach day!

On our last day, we visited Wismar, such a pretty city with history! Oh, all the colorful houses!

Next to the harbor.

Haha, my outfit matching the yellow mailbox. :D

Those days went by way too fast, but we both enjoyed being at the seaside and a change of location is always healthy and feels good. :) This was relaxing and oh, the great air of the sea!
Have you been to the seaside this year?

Outfits

Restyled Summer Dress

August 5, 2013

Dress: vintage and restyled by me

Camera bag: betsy teal made by jo totes, c/o of shootbags

Sandals: unknown

Necklace: frau sieben

Tassel earrings: handmade

Hello, hello! :) I’m back from two great trips, one to the seaside with Flo and one girl’s trip with Anja and Stefanie. :) Before I can show you photos and tell you more, I’ve got lots of sorting and editing to do and some other blog posts to share which want to be published. :)

Today I’ve got an outfit post and camera bag review for you. Flo took those photos of me and one of my new favorite summer dresses in front of Potsdam’s old college on a warm summer evening.
shootbags was so kind to send me a camera bag of my choice for review and I totally love this bag! :) But see yourself!

I love my geometrical necklace made by frau sieben! :)

Pink handmade tassel earrings.

I love love love my new betsy teal camera bag! The color perfectly fits my style, it has lots of space to carry around a camera, equipment and some other neccessary things like a wallet or cosmetics and its quality is awesome! Inside, there’s enough space for a camera and two lenses or even a little pouch and a notebook. Moreover, there’re another big pocket and two smaller pockets on the outside where you can also put a notebook and tiny belongings inside.

Everything is made in a great quality and I totally love the material of the bag.

The betsy teal bag comes with two straps in different lengths, this is super practical and you can even adjust how long those straps are. When you fold over the outter big pocket, the bag is still closed with a zipper, this makes it extra safe.

I’ve been keeping this camera bag on my wishlist for more than a year now and I’m super happy to finally call it my own and to safely transport my camera! :) Moreover, it perfectly matches many of my outfits and of course that’s really important to me. ;)
Thank you again, shootbags, for providing me with this bag!

As always, please note that of course the fact that I got this bag in exchange for a blog post and review does not touch my personal opinion about it!

Recipes

Recipe: Sweet Summer Strawberry Dessert

August 2, 2013

Hello my dear readers! Here’s another recipe from my summer picnic, a recipe for a sweet and delicious summer dessert which is made with yoghurt, mascapone, strawberries and mint.

What you need:
– Strawberries
– Bisquits
– Yoghurt, mascarpone and milk
– Fresh lemon juice, vanilla sugar, fresh mint

Put bisquits into a jar or bowl.

Mix yoghurt, mascarpone and milk until the white cream has the perfect consistency. The more liquid it is, the softer your bisquits will be when you pour it onto them. Add some vanilla sugar and a little bit of fresh lemon juice and then pour it onto the bisquits.

The longer you wait before you eat everything, the softer your cookies will become and this dessert is super easy and delicious and totally refreshing on hot summer days! :)

Enjoy!

While you are reading this, I’m spending my weekend with my dear friends Stefanie of Squeaky Swing and Anja of aentschie!!! So exciting!!! :)

Hellooooo! :) Awwww, I’m so excited that I can finally post this video!! DaWanda has just relaunched a new website with a new design and for this reason, a relaunch spot has been made. The video shows what’s new on DaWanda and maybe you’re gonna recognize someone in the spot… :) Eeeeks, Flo and Mogli are so damn cute in the video and I totally love how the spot has turned out! :) We filmed the last part in Anja‘s family’s beautiful garden and it was lots of fun!

Mogli was too cute to be true and he had lots of fun! He got some colorful foam rubber spots and was washed with doggie shampoo. No worries, of course everything has been done voluntarily and the most important thing was that Mogli felt comfortable during the shooting. Since he loves attention and is used to being among many people, this was quite easy and we were having a funny afternoon!

Have a look at DaWanda’s new website look and have fun watching the video! :)
