Octoberfest "Wiesn"











I had a nice weekend get away with my man, our last one as he leaves this week*bummer*. Our destination was Munich- the Octoberfest and a nice sleep over in a Spa Hotel, where he could get over his hangover and some relaxation for me :-) We were so lucky with the weather, it was pretty mild for this season and no rain. The opening on Saturday was filled with rain, so we were some lucky kids yesterday :-) I was so excited to wear my Dirndl which I got extra for the Octoberfest. Also now  living at the countryside in the Lake Constance area there are lots of tradional festivities where I can get some use out of it. Not only do Dirndl's do magic to your titties they are just so flattering on each woman's body shape. I also like to get some leathershorts in the oktoberfeststyle, saw some girls that looked pretty stylish and hot in them.
As most of my lovely readers are not from Germany, I would like to give you some infos on the Octoberfest. My american bf asked me why the Octoberfest is called "October" -Fest also it's starting in September? :-) It has actually historical reasons. The Octoberfest is located very central on the so called Theresienwiese. The area Theresienwiese has its name from Therese von Sachsen-Hidburghausen who married Prince Ludwig of Bavaria in 1810. So their first marriage celebration was the actual first Octoberfest. In the following years the fest was repeated later on extended and accelerated. Of course the warmer weather in september plays a key role. The nights are warmer and it's more covenient to stroll around the 42 hectar area. The last octoberfest weekend still lasts till October. "Wiese" is the german expression for grassland, so "Theresienwiese means grassland of Therese. Nowadays "Wiesn" -bavarian word for "Wiese" is a synomym for Octoberfest.
Have you ever been to the Octoberfest or even worn a Dirndl?

flowery tube top


Top: Zara (old)
Shorts: H&M (old)
Faux leather vest: Pimkie
Sandals: JC Penny
Bag: Zara
Necklace: Sheik HRH Collection







 Trying out some serious looking glasses, so in love with the bows detailing, too bad I can't wear those at work, my applicants won't take me too serious otherwise hahaha...
 My nephew looks pretty sweet :-D
 You can find many cute fountains along the road usually including religious murals to get refreshed......

Totally forgot about those pictures that my man took of me during our trip to our shopping/sightseeing trip to Nis (2nd biggest city in Serbia). What I love about Serbia is that there are so many cute market places with selfmade stuff from the region.
As it was really hot I tried to wear as less as possible. Usually it's kinda chilly in the morning that's why I wore the fauth leather vest on top of my orange tube top. Those items except of my Zara bag and the vest are probably more than 6 years old. I love when I can incorporate new items with my older wardrobe :-)

Pants: H&M
Heels: Pier One
Bag: Boutique
Necklace: H&M





 
Ok fall weather arrived officially here in lake constance too. I took the opporunity to wear two of my already favourite items for this season. My new leather jacket from Zara that I have fallen in love with as soon as I spotted on the hanger at the coatrack. What a bummer that they don't go true by size, so of course the size I needed was sold out. AS soon as I got home I ordered it.l It's the colour that is so unique. I have been wanting a leather jacket for such a long time and now I have it with a super cute cut, pattern and that lovely nude colour. Must admitt H&M has super cute skinny jeans lately. Not only do I love the fitting of that jeans, but the wax material emphasizes the richness of that beautiful burgundy colour too. My new favourite colour for this season. The great thing about it, it goes with so many colours.... What about you, haven you been falling in love with that colour already?

Red splash


 

Blazer: H&M
Pants: H&M
Necklace: H&M
Pumps:  PIer One
Bag: Channel









 This weekend my man and I went to Meersburg (southwest Germany at lake constance) to attend a wine festival. Living in one of the most beautiful wine regions, I was really looking forward to taste some really good wine from my new hometown and of course introduce it to my american bf who is a passionate beerdrinker hahaha :-). So at least I brought him to "Oh I should start drink more wine instead of beer" STRIKE. I hate beer and when I drink alcohol than there is nothing better to have a good glas of wine while having dinner.
I have been itching to wear my new patterned pants for weeks but it has been way too hot. I paired it with my new red blazer, love this hue of red and as it will the trend colour for this coming season you will see me wearing this blazer quiete often.

Printed silk blouse

Blouse: Zara
Skirt: H&M
Heels:  Tamaris
Clutch: Mango










I have never been into green until this year. I found myself adding lots of green items to my closet. Always assumed that colour doesn't suit me nor go with lots of different colours. Can't wait to try out different shades of green that are more winter appropriate like forrest green for the fall/winter. Are there any colours that you avoided in the past and discovered new for yourself this year?

 Another pic of my lovely love. When I start thinking that he will be gone in 3 weeks returning to the states it makes my heart really cry, well anyways......it is what it is.... 

Have a lovely start in the week. Thank you so much for stopping by and your lovely comments :-)

Getting dotty


Dress: ZARA (old)
Heels: Asos
Clutch: H&M

As you know, I have been loving polka dots lately. Aside from florals, it was definitely one of my favorite prints this season. Not only is the polka dot a classic pattern that is easy to mix and match, it’s also a simple way to add a playful punch to your wardrobe.This time I kept it pretty simple and chic with that silky flowy polka dots dress. I have had it probably for 4 years now and always love to pull it out for special occasion with my man :-)
We had a great time in Serbia visiting my family. I really had a blast with that shooting first of all because my man took pictures for my blog for the first time :-) and because of that amazing setting and hometown of my mom. Gamzigrad is an  archaeological site, spa resort and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Serbia, located south of the Danube river, near the city of Zaječar. It is the location of the ancient Roman complex of palaces and temples Felix Romuliana, built by Emperor Galerius. If you have a chance, you should visit that place, it's breathtaking and the perfect setting for taking fashion blog pics hahaha ;-)
Also fashion should stand in focus, I  love it when there is a special setting/background, it gives your outfit that special kick. What about you, do you care about the setting while taking pics? 

PS: How do you like my new darker hair?  Dejan from the hair salon Toto is the best hair stylist in the entire world, he has put some brown highlights in my hair to give it some more dimension. I trust in his work since over 8 years and visit him when I am in Serbia, you should check him out TOTO.
