I love Urban Outfitters!

today i went to urban outfitters, and all their sale stuff was an extra 50% off!

so of course i tried on everything that i loved (which was almost everything) and ended up with these lovely four items :)

the maxi dress should look really great in mexico, and the black tank top can be a bikini coverup or really pretty if worn on top of a tank top! i love the cut out shoulders on the nude dress, and the sweater is perfectly soft, cozy, BRIGHT for winter

ps- and this photo was taken with my iphone4s, edited with diptic and instagram!

DIY Backpack!

it's a beautiful morning friday in october (my favourite month of the year)..what better to do before class than wake up early and get creative!

I'm obsessed with this new website that shows a lot of DIY projects (check out my account @ www.pinterest.com/jamjamjam), so I got inspired to make something of my own. Here is a plain lavender back pack from Urban Outfitters dressed up with some studs.

i forgot to take a "before" picture, so i borrowed this one from www.urbanoutfitters.com (but it's sold out, sorry)

made by "deux lux" sold at Urban Outfitters

put studs along a row on the pocket and one on each zipper detail :)

tada! the final product!

trying it out, i think it looks nice paired with a feminine outfit

studs i used - bought 100 pieces bulk from ebay

just playing around with the studs.. <3

this might be one of many DIY projects to come..

Hennes & Mauritz.

 

my first little shopping day after a long time.

h&m has incredible sales now - sleeveless shirts in 3 really nice colors for 3€ each.
these tops, especially the white one, can be combined with girly plaid shirts (e.g. the famous ones by hollister)

 and with nice and colorful scarfs. 

 brown/cognac coloured boots would make the outfit perfect.

the ring (4,95€) and the two bracelets (2,95€ each) are really pretty accessories in autumn colors...

i love sale .

now let's thank sweden for their genius Erling Persson - founder of H&M

we need time and cake.

 

// we need time for dreaming

time to remember and time to reach the endless

we need time to be ourselves. //

(from a postcard on my wall)

..so let s take our time to find out who we are and who we wanna be 

and let's have a little timeout with a cake and coffee in a beautiful garden on a sunny day with a dear friend

september, you are so beautiful

september you are so beautiful

showing the full variety of colours for the last time in this year of 2011..

thank you for the nice sunshine you give us in the morning - so that we feel like waking up and going out

thank you for the cool breeze in the evening - so that we feel like wearing knitwear and go home and cuddle into blankets, get tea and watch some nice tv shows and movies 

october is waiting, but september, tell him not to bring too much work into my life....

tell him i'll be really hardworking the next time he will come.... :)

//let me introduce my playlist for this beautiful autumn of 2011//

café zentral

today's dinner with my dear friend angelika:

//pizza with feta cheese, olives, onions, hot pepper, tuna

at the amazing café zentral in the center of ulm//

since it was pizza-happy-hour (everyday after 4 pm)

every pizza costed 4€ 

it's getting colder in the evening these days

still, september......is so beautiful this year

spazzzzz

meeting my friends after 7 months!
it was so good talking and laughing a lot, just like back in high school ;)

since it was raining a lot that day it wasn't easy finding a café that had free seats left.

plus: on that day, the Einstein-Marathon had taken place.

 all the participants and all the others who had watched it were having their beers and meals at the time 

we wanted to get coffee.

but we made it to this really nice café, which is also a restaurant (really nice sunday brunch!!)
called "spazz".

the name has its origin in the word Spatz which means sparrow and is a symbol for the city of Ulm.

so we sat there and had a nice time together sharing cakes and drinking coffee and orangina :)
and BaKi!!!! which is a banana-cherry drink. my favourite.

great time with friends <3

The Best Lip Treatment Ever ♥

FRESH Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15 

$26CDN at Sephora

wow..

can i just say wow!

okay..first i must explain..i have the MOST DRY LIPS in the world...they are always cracking (ew gross i know..sorry) and in such bad condition that i can never wear lipstick or other lip products because they always accentuate the cracks and peeling skin on my lips!

i have not found any lip balm, butter, lipchap, lipgloss that can heal my horribly dry lips...

and i kept hearing about this FRESH sugar product but it was always so expensive and i didn't believe it would be worth it

um..hello? i just bought it today and i applied it TWO times, and my lips are already in perfect condition!!

there is the original one..no colour, just a sugar balm, but i decided to get the one with the slight "rose" tint. i thought it would be prettier :)
oh. and it has spf 15. so perfect.

that is all.

i recommend this product to anyone with dry lips :)

5/5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 

music. [+playlist]

both pictures found on weheartit.com

in august, we think that we could rule the world.
going anywhere we'd like

doing anything we'd like

thinking that any dream we ever dreamt 

could turn out to be true if we just try...

Cheonggyecheon river

this photo: shafiiqahmad.tumblr  found through weheartit

[Cheonggyecheon is an 8.4 km long, modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul, South Korea. 

The massive urban renewalproject is on the site of a stream that flowed before 

the rapid post-war economic development required it to be covered by transportation infrastructure. 

The $900 million project initially attracted much public criticism but, after opening in 2005, 

has become popular among city residents and tourists.] (source: wikipedia.org)

a really beautiful place for a walk or for just sitting down and putting your feet into the river on a hot summer day... :)

nice summer playlist

a bunch of songs that i like these days :)
some are upbeat and some are slow
i love driving while listening to these!

lunch at boxwood cafe :)

the other day I went on a brother-sister date to Boxwood Cafe!

it's a restaurant in Centenniel Park, right in downtown Calgary

it's a pretty new restaurant, and the first time I came here was a few weeks ago with my friend

I decided I had to come back again! all the food is local and so fresh :)

the lunch menu has lots of sandwiches and fresh salads

TOP: Spragg Farm Spit Roasted Porchetta
BOTTOM: Bowden Farm Naturally Raised Roast Chicken
Both: $10

it's also the perfect place to hang out on a lazy afternoon

i love this place!!

oh and don't forget dessert!

Mint Icecream Sandwich ♥
$5

myeongdong makes me happy

 

had a little shopping day after coloring my hair back to a darker color :)
whenever i get a haircut or a new haircolor i just feel like buying me something new-
and that's just how it happened: i visited the forever 21 store in myeongdong.
it is so huge (4 floors) and full of clothes and accessories <3 

so i got me this shirt for around 20,000 KRW, the beautiful golden armlet for 10,000 KRW
and the flower ring for 5,000 KRW.

i like the colors cause they are really easy to match with the other pastel colors but
they look the best with beige tone clothes.

the bag you can see in the second picture is in a grey tone so i can wear it
with mostly all of my clothes ;)
i bought it from a street vendor for only 10,000 KRW.

i love korea for having tons of bags for such a cheap price.
cause i m a bag-freak. YES. i love bags.
:)

now that i m in a kind of shopping fever again,
i ll probably be back soon with another shopping post hehe

lemonade [+playlist]

i saw this tiny and pretty bottle of POP lemonade at a convenience store near my dorm
and i had to buy it <3
it doesnt taste special or different as usual lemonade but the design made me fall in love with it.

apparently there is another flavor which i didnt try yet. it s cherry.

this picture found on TheMissKorea

and today, some female artists to listen to :)

there s so much rain these days and so many good byes to friends from all over the world
going back to their home countries....
...so being in this nostalgic and a little sad mood i kind of feel like
listening to this kind of slow and calm music...

burger time :)

valance burger.

small burger shop in anam.

maybe it was supposed to be named "balance burger"...but...who knows ;)

the fries were really really delicious.
