Sunday HIKE. | Lainzer Tiergarten. | Outfit

" The only limits in life are the ones you make. "

As you can probably tell, it has been a beautiful sunny Sun-day. ;) The weather was absolutely perfect for a hike. In Vienna you probably have hundreds of possibilities to escape to the countryside and go for long and quiet runs if you like. One has to be the Lainzer Tiergarten.

A piece of our Wienerwald - which is located on the outskirts of the city. You can relax, have some adventures and explore the nature at the same time. As a nature reserve you can also find animals there. Birds (of course), reptiles and amphibians and wildlife (deers, wild boar).

It has been a while since I've visited, so I thought: now, it's the time. I went there with my little sister and we've had a lovely day. Of course we documented our little hike - enjoy the photos. :)

I hope you've all had a lovely and sunny weekend. :)

What I love at the moment. | JULY 2015.

" Be happy - it drives people crazy. "

This month has not only been extremely hot in Vienna - it has also been a pretty stressful month. If you're following my blog a little, you might have noticed that I'm currently in the process of MOVING! Therefore I have (of course) a " decor - part" here in this favorites post. ENJOY! :) 

 

DRINKS

  

Starting off with - DRINKS. Yes, I kind of found a "new love". Iced coffee. Okay, iced coffee in general hasn't been a new thing for a coffee lover like me, but I never really made one at home. So, (inspired by a friend of mine) I gave it a go, and I can say - its 100 times more refreshing and awakening than a normal cup of coffee. Especially with my soy milk (so much better than normal milk!!!) it tastes so yummy.

BEAUTY 

 
Honestly, I couldn't be bothered putting on make up when it's 36° outside. BUT an alternative for a heavy foundation would be a BB cream. I tried out the BB Cream (coloured beauty balm) by KIKO a while ago and I really like the effect. It definitely doesn't feel as heavy as a foundation. 

so cool - at first it has a creamy beige color and then it adjusts to your skin tone.

Next - I finally used my (Douglas) voucher and bought my first mac lipstick & lip liner. At first I did some research and watched some youtube videos on which colour would be the best or the prettiest. ( I personally feel more comfortable than be advised in a shop sometimes haha...) In the end I bought the lipstick "FAUX" - a nice natural color.

 

Last but not least - an eye-shadow pallet. It's the NUDE Pallet by Maybelline. I like EVERY color of it - and this is quite rare with me haha. This pallet is supposed to be very very popular and it was sold out quite quickly.

DECOR

 Here are 2 items of my H&M Home purchase. First, a decor tablet /tray. I'm not sure what's the right name for it, but I'll put it on my couch table and put some candles or magazines on it! :) and of course : COPPER style. <3

 What's your favorite item/food/drink this month? :)

My personal MOVING journey. | Umzug. 2015

Yes, I'm MOVING OUT! 

 

This post should give you short information what I've planned for my blog the next month. Because MOVING is a pretty big milestone in my life (or life in general) I decided to capture and document it. If you've already experienced a "moving process" you'll understand how exciting and at the same time exhausting and stressful it can be. For a big decoration and furnishing lover like me - this will be a terrific and special journey for me. The decor buying and planning has already begun, but I'm not even halfway there how I want my new flat to look like. In the following, I will tell you what I have in mind for decorating and styling, where I want to shop for it and my plans for following posts during my move. 

If you're interested and maybe thinking about taking the moving path soon keep going and tell me in the comments below what you'd like to see while I'm moving! :) 

What is your imagination of the style for your new home? (Inspiration)

 As a "little" Pinterest-Freak (https://www.pinterest.com/julesmariette/) you know that no matter what, you'll find inspiration for EVERYTHING. Perfect for getting some decoration ideas. When I'm thinking about my future flat (particularly the living room and bed room) I want bright colours!! A lot of white and some yellow/turquoise/grey details. I'm loving this colour combination right now. What I'm also loving: copper details!!! I'll show you some pictures who work as a guideline for me.

Where are you going to shop?

My go-to shops for buying decor are: DEPOT (http://www.depot-online.com/at/home), Mömax (http://www.moemax.at/cms/frontpage) and H&M Home (http://www.hm.com/at/department/HOME). 

DEPOT sells decor items, tableware and a lot of DIY utensils. The SALE there is absolutely amazing sometimes. You can find true treasures. 

Go to Mömax when you are also planning on buying the "basics" like: cutlery, plates, cups..etc. they have adorable offers. You can also find furniture, carpets, lamps and the price level is a tiny bit above IKEA. 

Now my favorite: H&M Home. A lot of people didn't even know that H&M offers homeware and decoration. (It's kind of like Zara Home but way less expensive). I love the style there. You have the bathroom, kitchen, living room and bed room department and each of them has absolutely georgeous items. Literally this moment, my second H&M (home) delivery arrived!!! YAY. 

Sneak peak?

  

Stay tuned for the next steps of my moving journey!! :)

WINTER love. | outfit. |

Today was the loveliest winter day in Vienna. Full of sunshine. I'm a person whose mood depends a loooot on the weather. There are these days - when I wake up I either can already hear the rain on my window or I look outside and see the grey and gloomy weather. In this situation I could instantly go back into my bed and stay there all day long. It's very hard to get motivated when you can feel the world goes down outside your house. Then, there are these days - where you are woken up by the sun. One of the best feelings, I think. My mood and motivation rises immediately!! 

Although, I haven't been the biggest fan of the winter the last months, I thought I'd give it a second chance. ;) So, my friend and I decided it would be a great possibility to go for a walk and take some lovely pictures. I'm lucky, that I don't live directly in the bustle of the city, but in an outlying district where I have very good subway,bus and tram connections and at the same time possibilities to escape my everyday life. I put some of the photos I've taken today down below (and also some pictures of my outfit I wore today) Enjoy :)
