scent

I know, it's been a while again, but there is so much to do right now and I don't really have the time to take pictures and post regularly. But speaking about blog posts brings me to the last one, posted by my love. From the statistics I can see that many of you saw it and I also received positive feedback - not only here on my blog. Luckily we took some more pictures of him in another outfit and if you want to, he might post them ;)

One of the reasons my time is so limited at the moment is the fashion show which takes place in the Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus tomorrow. It's open to the public and you're very welcome. The show starts at 8 pm, but being there about one hour before the show starts will save you a seat. Don't forget to bring your identity card as you have to go through a security check.

Last but not least I wanted to show you this picture from a photoshoot two weeks ago - I was really ill at this time but the make up artist did her best to make me looking good :D How do you like it? :)

London (Style) Diary No.4

These pictures are from Tuesday - although it doesn't look like this in the pictures it was perfectly warm. 

I met Jakob's mum and sister for tea and cake in the early afternoon. I was really looking forward seeing his mum again,  I haven't met her since Jakob and I broke up. We spent a nice few hours together and then I went to Liverpool Street, where I was supposed to meet Sofie, unfortunately she wasn't there by the right time so I sat in front of the station all alone for two hours. I was a bit agitated after talking to Jakob's mum so I felt really alone in this big city, all by myself in front of the station. 

After two hours of thinking about my past and the future, Sofie finally arrived. We walked around Shoreditch a bit and went to a gallery to see a small exhibition (which was a bit disappointing). Later we went to Oxford Street for some shopping.. and here are some pictures:

London (Style) Diary No. 1

I'm such a lucky girl! I'm back in London for nearly 11 days :D And since I know that so many of my lovely followers are also huge London fans, I decided to share a post with you daily again :) This time I came to London with a friend of mine, Sofie, and you will get to know her in this post too. We decided it'll be more fun if we're also taking pictures of her instead of only taking pictures of me and posting them here. 

We arrived on the early Friday evening in Southend (which is the smallest airport I've ever seen) and didn't went out for a party or something which turned out to be the right decision as we had to get up quite early on Saturday morning to get the train to St. Albans, where we met Sofie's family for lunch. We spent the whole day in St. Albans, had tea and brownies with Sofie's lovely granny and walked around to find a nice place for taking the pictures. And here they are: 

I'm a little girl in a big big world.... I look so tiny :D 

of course I have my union jack pin with me

And here she is - Sofie! We're studying fashion design together and it was more like a spontaneous idea to go to London together, we sat in our nude drawing course when we decided that we both wanted to get out of here, so we looked up the flights and booked them immediately. 

                       

I know, I'm a bit late....but....

... I wanted to share some pictures of this year's Woodstock festival with you. I spent six great days in Poland with some of my best friends and lots of other people I like. Just like the years before I had the feeling that it has been the best Woodstock ever, and it really is like this, it's getting better every fucking year. I just realized that it has already been my ninth time there, I'm getting old! Here are some impressions: 

me and the coolest shark hat ever - unfortunately some polish guy stole it right off of my head :( 

if you have to stay outside all day long and it's just too hot, there's nothing better than a fresh water melon....

...except from cooling down in the pool! Just like the years before, the boys built a pool but this year's pool has been bigger than any pool before!

wow. A festival selfie.

  

Breakfast.

Hare rama, rama haaaaaare, I loooove the food the Krishnas are serving there every year - it's fucking delicious (plus it is vegan, yaaay)

Another way to keep your head cool when it's hot outside - wear the leftovers of a watermelon - only negative thing is that it is quite heavy and you can't wear it all day long....

...so why don't you just go for a walk towards the river nearby? We went there almost every evening for a little refreshment and....

...a beautiful view.

We found this little guy and named him "Herb", he was so tame and sat on my arm without any intention to escape.

  

They do have different names on the coke bottles in Poland, my favorite was Kumpela :D

The main stage, starring at this picture reminds me of how hardly I can't wait for the next Woodstock to come! 

Has anyone of you been there this year?

You might remember the photo shoot I had a few weeks ago? I finally saw some pictures and I was really pleased with the result. Unfortunately the photos were taken with an analogue camera which means I can't show you loads of pictures. I only got the one we took with a digital camera before starting with the real shoot and two others the photographer chose. The cool thing is, I got both on paper and because of the fact that I really love them and me in these photos I will pin them to a wall somewhere in our flat, lol. To cut a long story short - here they are, enjoy and let me know what you think :)

Yesterday was such a nice day, I had a photo shoot in the early afternoon, later I went for a walk with Jakob and then we met Gülsün for dinner - just a perfect Sunday :) 

The shoot was quite cool, I haven't had any shoots in the last time, I guess my last shoot was the one for 99 Berlin Problems in 2011 xD Quite a long time ago... Here is the first result from yesterday, how do you like it? 

I like it a lot and I hardly can't wait to see the rest :) 

And here I am in a more casual outfit later that day - the bag btw is one of my favorites! I bought it in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, I'm sure you'll see it in future posts quite often :D

We started our dinner tour in a vietnamese restaurant, the food was nice but not overwhelming. Afterwards we walked down the street as we discovered a really nice restaurant, so we decided to have another dessert there. We sat outside in the restaurant garden and I can't tell you how glad I am that you can finally sit outside again in the evening!!!! 

Hope you had a nice Sunday too! 

Join me in death

Well, since I was a 13-year old girl I absolutely loved HIM. Ville Valo was my first love and I still think he's way too hot for this world :D I bought every CD, every magazine and everything else that contained something about HIM. My wall just looked like every other fangirl's wall - from top to bottom completely covered in pictures of Ville. I listened to their songs day in, day out. But then, a few years later, I think it was just a few months after the release of "Dark Light" I somehow lost my interest in HIM. I still liked them a lot but I wasn't addicted to their music like I was before. That's why I never noticed they still existed as a band and even released new albums. It was a cold day in winter when I was at work and my boss just changed the music and decided to play old HIM songs all night long, we had so much fun singing and dancing behind the bar and I was wondering why I ever gave up listening to HIM. From then on questions were spinning around my mind "what the fuck has happened to HIM and Ville Valo? Is he still alive? Do they still make music??" I just surfed the internet as I found the best information ever: they were about to release a new album AND they're touring around!!!!! I ordered three tickets in the pre-pre-sale (for me, my boss and Jakob) and luckily we got them (of course the concert was sold out within minutes).
Last Monday has been the day! I was so excited and just felt like 15 again, Jakob and I met my boss and some other fellow students in front of the Postbahnhof where we needed to queue for hours. Ok, not HOURS, but at least one hour. Immediately after entering I spent my first 28,50€ within seconds. 25€ for a HIM shirt and 3,50€ for my first beer. We had some more beers and suddenly the concert started, Maria, a fellow student of Jakob, and I decided to try getting in front row but the audience was like...shit. I thought they were there for a concert of a band they fucking love?? Mostly all of them were standing around, with their arms crossed and not willing to let us through. We, full of beer and adrenaline, ignored the fists in our backs and just made our way trough until we finally reached at least the third row. You might not believe it, but as boring the audience was, as brutal they were. One girl even bit me in the back! Stupid bitch, Ville is mine! Ville of course was hot as hell and the concert was nice though the audience was still not rocking at all. After the concert Maria and I managed to get a plectrum each! Oh my I was a lucky girl :D We just had one more beer there, then decided to leave for another drink somewhere else (of course we ended in the Zyankali Bar ^^) where Gülsün decided to join us and when my working mate decided to close the bar, we decided to leave for another drink at Clash. Afterwards we ate lots of disgusting french fries at Curry 36 and went finally home, in a shopping basket, lol. The sun was about to rise as we finally managed to get home, I guess I don't need to mention I didn't make it to my lessons the next day? ;) All in all it's been a great night and I AM SO IN LOVE WITH VILLE! Has anyone of you been there?!?!?!?!!

Small presents keep a friendship alive.

I guess, you all know that feeling caused by a small present you didn't expect, don't you? Unpacking it, giddy with excitement, finally knowing what it is and being fulfilled with gratefulness and overwhelmed by feelings for the other person, isn't that great? Also, I think the other way round it's pretty nice too, seeing your friend unpacking what you chose, knowing that it is just the right thing for him or her. Yeeeeah, that's satisfying too.

Well, to be honest, what I'm talking about hasn't been a small present- a few weeks before Gülsün's birthday in November I had the sudden inspiration that a trip together to somewhere in Europe would be great. As you know, I'm just a poor student and don't have that much money, so I had to base my decision on what would be the cheapest flight. But to tell you the truth, the cheapest flight was to somewhere I don't even remember anymore and didn't want to go to. So I chose the second cheapest flight and that has been Amsterdam! How cool is that!? So I spent a few days on texting Gülsün about her working times, of course not too obviously, and then I booked the flights. But oooh, from then on it still has been about three weeks until her birthday, I almost died on that sneakiness! But time flies fast,  so her birthday came and I could finally reveal my present :) I guess I don't need to mention that she was very excited about it ;)

Later that evening we found a very nice and cheap apartment with a roof-deck, located 10 minutes away from the center of Amsterdam, we contacted the landlord and got the confirmation about 15 minutes later. 

Full of anticipation we started our trip about two weeks ago, we had a great time together, the weather wasn't as good as we expected but at least we had some sunshine :) 

What was your greatest present to someone you really love? :) 

Golden touch

Today we went out for grocery shopping and a walk through our lovely neighborhood. To see and feel the sunlight after ages of dark pushed my mood to a higher level. You know I'm not that kind of sun worshiper and summer is way too hot for me, but after months of grey skies and snow and freeze even I  enjoy the warm sun.

Oh, and yesterday Sascha made this lovely sketch for me - I think it's perfectly me and everyone who knows me would agree, don't you? :D

Enjoy your saturday night, I'm off to work now!
