Lisbon Haul

Here are the things that I bought whilst I was in Lisbon, I only picked up a few pieces because I really need to limit myself from buying so many clothes and focus on items that I can wear more often!

Ripped jeans from Zara, Midi Dress from Bershka

I have this habit of buying foreign vogues whilst I'm on holiday so of course I had to get one from Portugal. On the first day when we went to the Oriente train station there happened to be a book market where I picked up a book of Monets work. And my find on the flea market a beautiful tile which I will probably use for decoration

Souvenirs for my family: all kinds of different sardines a lot of them I bought in the sardines shop I mentioned earlier. And also I snatched up my favorite body butter from the Body shop in the duty free - THAT smell is everything!

I picked up some random bits in Primark - Bedding and some cute sports gear 

Collective Haul

Here are a bunch of random things I picked up the last month. Some things are from Ireland, some things from Spain and a few things I got for my birthday. I tried to buy some practical stuff for the autumn/winter time. 

Everything-Penneys 

Always have to have a local magazine for the plane ride. I finally trying out the L'occitane hand cream which I've heard really good things about. These cut out boots are also from Penneys and are super comfortable!

Things from Majorca: New Jeans from Pull&Bear, grey sweater and roll on perfume from Zara. The perfume smells just like Paco Rabannes 'One million lady'

I also took advantage of the duty free and bought the Clarins 'Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector' in 01 and 02

 My birthday presents: It by Alexa Chung- really been enjoying this book, I love all the fashion icons that she has and my other loves- the 420 New Balance 

Haul (H&M,Drugstore,Kiehl's)

Whilst I was at home I had a little shopping spree. Although I live in Munich with so many different shops. I still like to go shopping in my hometown just because I don't have to keep up with all the masses of people. This haul is not very summer appropriate but all of the things that I bought are really necessary!

Jeans, Shirt and jacket from H&M 

I know we have June but I saw these ages ago in H&M and really liked them but my size were all sold out in Munich so when I saw these in the local H&M I just had to snatch them up. I'm pretty sure that I will get tons of use out of them in the autumn/winter time!

Rather boring stuff from the drugstore-I needed a new moisturizes so I wanted to give this one a try. I love sheet masks and this is the only one I know to get hold of in Germany and it is even produced in South Korea and the last thing was just a new sunscreen since my year in China I am even more conscious about the sun that is why I bought the SPF 50 one

I also made a sneaky visit to the Kiehl's counter...

…and bought the infamous Midnight Recovery Concentrate from Kiehl's-the lady from the counter also gave me lots of samples from various other products!

My easter week in pictures

I hope everyone had a lovely easter break! For my part I went home to see my parents. I was pretty busy meeting friends, cooking and just hanging around with my parents. So here are a few photos on my easter impressions:

My mum always puts up chocolate and small decor in my room ♡

This is what the easter bunny brought me: Chanel nail polish in 167 Ballerina and a Sisley Lip pencil in Rose Sorbet

I finally came around to put on these lovely hand made bed sheets which I got from my aunt back when I was in China. It was so cool because I could choose the fabric and the design on it. 

One of my favorite cakes of all time: Tarte au Chocolate-it is really easy to make and so yummy!

I bought this little daisy print dress from Forever 21 and I can't wait till the weather gets warmer  so I could finally wear it!

I also bought this deep sleep spray for my parents and a peach body butter both from the body shop. I adore the smell of the body butter it smells like some really sweet and ripe peaches! 

Huge London Haul

London is the epitome of shopping heaven. I think in all honesty it was probably the thing I was most excited about …Don't judge! I'm always so jealous if I see a cool haul on some youtube channel talking about UK brands/stores so I went on quite a splurge while I was there. But most of my stuff I bought in Primark which may justify the amount of clothing I bought. So to sum up my shopping experience, I was just overwhelmed with the amount of stores they have only on Oxford Street. I think it would take days to visit every single store. And also the variety they have all the stores that I love; Urban Outfitters, Monki, Topshop and the list goes on. I also went to &other stories which seemed like a pretty cool store unfortunately I didn't bought anything because we had to be careful with not overweighing our luggage otherwise I would have totally had a second look. So hopefully &other stories will come to munich one day. But until then here is what I bought in London:

Outerwear from left to right: Vintage Levi's jacket, black blazer-Monki, white blazer-Primark

Red Dress-Urban Outfitters, Rest-Primark

Black Slippers-Topshop, Bag&Sandals-Primark

Bathrobe, slippers, white fluffy pillow-Primark, Indian pillow cases-Camden Market

Miscellaneous Stuff: Bikini; Hair clips&ties, Super cosy tights and a sponge bag-all Primark

Postcards with my beloved Monet painting

Beauty stuff clockwise: Topshop Lipstick in Infrared, travel size Soap&Glory Hand Food, Rimmel Eyebrow pencil in 001 Dark Brown, Rimmel Lipstick in 700 Nude Delight, travel size Batiste Dry Shampoo and the Uk Elle magazine with a Percy&Reed wonder balm Freebie

Union Jack tea cup-Primark, Clipper-Green Tea

Lalalast days

My last days before I will be moving. Although I had to work, I still tried to manage to spend as much time with my friends and family as possible. Looking back at these photos makes me realize that I will miss so much and that it will be a whole different experience. Living on my own for the first time(!) The weather this week has been incredible, really sunny and warm. So the perfect opportunity to walk through the city and enjoy the last sunbeam for this year. Most of my friends either will move away or have already moved, so it was kind of a big goodbye to all of my friends. But I know I will see them on christmas because everyone is coming home from uni to celebrate at home, so it is just a goodbye for now. Anyways here are a few impressions on my week:

This is one of my favorite dishes at our local restaurant and it is even called after the restaurant-I went with all my girlfriends and it was a really fun night!

Beautiful view of the streets from my hometown

Enjoyed the sunny autumn weather and tried this cheesecake flavored ice-cream

On Thursday I had a lovely brunch with my close pal, she is one of my longest friends and we know each other for over 10 years

I got a super cute farewell gift from her- this cute pillow is from Ikea and a handy little brush from The Body Shop

Even the wrapping paper was super cute, different inhabitants of the forest. Thank you again for this lovely present!

I stopped at the pharmacy and bought some Effeclar Duo- I love to go to pharmacies they always give you some samples 

Had a lovely dinner with my whole family, this is venison goulash and it was delicious

I found a new friend! As you can see the weather was pretty good so I could get my shorts out once again :) 

Had some lovely dinner with my brother yesterday. This is Pide filled with goat cheese, aubergines, tomatoes and olives

Hamburg Shopping

What is a city trip without a little bit of shopping? I love to go shopping when I'm away because most of the time there are plenty of shops that we do not have in my city. And the items are somehow a little reminder of the trip that I took. Knowing that I would visit my friend in Hamburg I tried to save up every penny to have a nice shopping spree there. So here are the things that I bought: 

Skincare- I finally jumped on the bandwagon and bought the Bioderma Sebium H2O for combination/oily skin and another cult classic the Caudalie Beauty Elixir. I'm already head over heels for the smell!

My first ever MAC product; it is a limited edition luster lipstick in 'just a bite'. A beautiful dark red color

Miscellaneous stuff: I bought the Jolie Magazine which came with a BeYu lip crayon (in the color 03 light salmon) to have a little read during the train ride and of course I had to make a little stop in a drugstore. I came out with two P2 products, first product is the perfect look lip liner in the shade 092 poppy, it's a bright orange red and the second one is called heavenly lip mousse in 071 cherry souffle it's a nice berry/fusia lip cream. And the last thing is a chapstick from Alverde and it is super moisturizing and smells awesome

Ever since I saw someone mentioning chocolate with sea salt I was hooked on trying it. And I have to admit this one from Lindt is really nice especially with the caramel pieces

Dotted Shirt and bag are from Monki and the military jacket is from ebay

Lovely high waisted black corduroy trousers also from Monki

Sale shopping: Striped Shirt form UO, printed black t-shirt and a chain thing for some glasses from Weekday. Lastly simple brushed golden rings from H&M
