FLORIDA - land of sunshine. | Decor - Inspiration.

  

 A bit of Florida sunshine in your home.

Neben reisen, kochen und Sport zu machen liebe ich es zu dekorieren. Ebenso liebe ich es Räume einzurichten und mich für verschiedene Dekorationsstile zu inspirieren. Als ich damals meine Wohnung eingerichtet habe, war mir wichtig, dass es gemütlich, modern, hell und gleichzeitig farbenfroh ist. Ich habe zum Beispiel durch Pölster und Bilder gelbe und violette Farbakzente gesetzt. In meiner Wohnung verteilt findet man auch die Farbe kupfer/rosé gold. Ich bin einfach verliebt in diese Farbe.

Momentan habe ich wiedermal Lust Kleinigkeiten zu verändern und vielleicht einen neuen Dekorationsstil zu integrieren. Da ich meine Wohnung immer gerne der Jahreszeit anpasse dachte ich mir, dass ein sommerlicher, "beachy"- Florida Style gut passen würde. Ich habe viele Webseiten und Magazine durchgestöbert und habe ein Styleboard (Raum im Florida-Style) erstellt .Vielleicht kann ich euch ja inspirieren eure Wohnung auch einen sommerlichen "touch-up" zu verpassen auch wenn das Meer leider nicht vor der Haustüre ist :)

 Florida - Style Ideen:

 - Sommerlich

- Helle/leuchtende Farben (weiß, türkis, Minzgrün, gelb)

- Strandfeeling

- Palmenmuster

- viele Pflanzen und Blumen

One thing I like to do besides traveling, cooking and sport is decorating. I love to get inspired for different decor styles. When I was decorating my own flat, it was important to me that it would be cozy, modern, bright and also colorful touches. For example - I set violet and yellow color acents by pillows and pictures. You will also find copper/rosé gold here and there. I'm in love with this color. Right now I'm in the mood to change it up a little bit - trying out a new decor style. Because I like adjusting my decor to seasons, I thought that a summery, "beachy"- Florida Style would be cool. I looked through a lot of websites and magazines and made a styleboard (Room -Florida Style). Maybe I can give you some inspiration and inspire you to give your flat/house a beachy, summery feel even if the ocean isn't in sight. :) 

 Florida- Style Ideas:

 - bright & summery

-  pop of light colors (white, turquoise, mint, yellow)

-  beach vibes

-  sea inspired patterns(palm prints)

- relaxing atmosphere 

- a lot of plants and flowers

What I love at the moment. | APRIL 2015.

" The  more  you  love  your  decisions, the  less you  need  others  to  love  them. " 

 

Spring definitely arrived and said hello this month! This makes me so happy since it's my favorite season. It feels kind of like a "new beginning" to me, because a lot changes. Beautiful flowers blossom, the clock's are changing, warmer temeratures, you can (finally) wake up to sunshine and not the dark, outdoor restaurants and cafés are opening...etc. Somehow you want to adjust yourself to spring - colorful clothes and scents, bright colors in your room, being more active and eat healthy food.  I also found myself shopping for new bits in DEPOT.
Sometimes a new update can do wonders. :)

If this weather doesn't motivate you to go outside I don't know what will.... <3

I haven't been the most passionate runner ever but this month I heard someone talking about the app "Runtastic". I've known it for a long time, but never really used it. This time I downloaded it and instantly planned to go out for a run with my sister. Although it wasn't too long (which probably is quite normal when it's your first run after 100 years ;)) but the feeling afterwards was great. So I decided to go for a second run the following week and (maybe it was just imagination) but it didn't felt as exhausting as the first one. I think while running you can qickly feel little improvements. (so motivating! ). And as you can see on the pictures, the weather was perfect!!

I have to say, this app is extremly motivating. You can see: burned calories, the distance, the time, your route, and you can attach pictures from your run. It automatically sends you an email when you finished your run. Of course, you can turn off the automatical email if it annoys you, but I have to say it doesn't annoy me at all - it motivates me even more to improve my last run again and again :) I can highly recommend it.

It is known that plants have a great impact on living and work spaces. Positive effects , more efficiency & concentration, good for body and soul. Those things all sound very nice and interesting, but never encuraged me to buy any plants for my room. After spotting some really beautiful pictures of individual work spaces I somehow got more inspiration and decied to finally get some greens in my room. I chose a cactus - I really liked this one and it's also easy to maintain (as far as I know :P). I thought that maybe it would be quite unnecessary, but I have to confess it really jazzes up my work table - quite an eyecatcher. :)

La nuit Trésor - Lancôme

I'm someone who "needs" (wants.. ;)) a new scent when seasons change. I've got my all- time favorites like Chloé or Sí by Armani, but then I somehow need something new. I LOVE it when a specific scent reminds me of a vacation or a special time of the year!! Who feels the same way?  :)  It was quite hard choosing a new scent this time because I couldn't find anything "worth" buying because nothing really impressed me. I was about to buy a new Sí by Armani, as I discovered the la nuit trésor fragrance by Lancôme. It smells a lot like vanilla orchid , incense, papyru, quite oriental and it's very long lasting. Personally, I feel like it is similar to Sí by Armani. LOVE IT.

That would be it with my favorites for April. I hope the weather keeps getting better and better throughout this month. :) If you are familiar with some of the things I listed above, and maybe also been loving let me know and share some experiences! ;)

CIAO. My holiday in MILAN and RIMINI.

Buon giorno.  

I am back. And I can finally start writing blog posts again. I feel relaxed, happy and sun-kissed ;). It was a very nice family holiday in Italy. On June 27th we drove to Milan, because of the .......ONE DIRECTION CONCERT!!!!!! I bought the tickets for my sister as a christmas present and she freaked out!!! She was so happy, and so was I because I could go too. :) So, we arrived at the San Siro in Milan (a giant stadion). We had to wait for a very long time for them to arrive but it was definitely worth it. The show was AMAZING!! They were amazing!!! We really enjoyed the concert. Freaked out, sang and danced till the end. Here are some of my 1000 pictures I took at the concert, so that you can imagine how big and magnificent it really was.

Next day. After a 3 hour drive, we arrived at our hotel in Rimini. We were so happy that the weather would be good for the week. Of course, we had to go directly to the beach as soon as we arrived :) The hotel and the beach were great. Each "beach sector" had it's own style and color. I thought this was really cool. (You'll see some pictures in the end.) Short summary of our week would be: Waking up, having really yummy breakfast, going to the beach or chilling at the pool, tanning, tanning, oh and..tanning, going out for dinner and strolling along the beach or the shopping street near our hotel :) Oh and on July 4th Rimini celebrated the "Notte rosa". You could describe it as a very big beach party in pink :) So cool!! All in all, it was a super nice week and now, enjoy the photos! ;)
