Zara Haul

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my Zara Haul.

Many things I will show you here you might have seen in my Outfit Of The Week posts of the past weeks, some you will see soon.

But to show you the whole content of the disaster I decided to compose a post on it as well.

You may know or not that I have been to Portugal with my little family and that we have spend our time shopping. One of those shops was Zara, for me the one where I bought the most.

I have a thing for red this season so I bought a red blouse and the fitting skirt in a floral/ zebra print in bouclé. This two pieces are my favorites out of everything as it is so elegant and gives me some more colour in my closet (which has been a little project of mine this year)

I then also found a furry clutch in pink! How amazing is this. I keep on patting it, treating it as a pet. This is how far it has become already. It is really bag and it seems as if you can put your whole closet in there. It feels good wearing it for sure and is a definite eye catcher. You might not wear anything else.

I then bought a wine red regular pair of jeans which I will combine with a black or white basic shirt and wear it with my new fur vest from Stradivarius. This picture seems really good in my head. Let's find out on monday how it will work out!

I also purchased a kind of oriental skirts which you can see in the middle of the photo. Normally it is baggy but in a thick texture so fittingly autumn themed.

I actually thought I would be able to wear the beige long sleeved shirt with it but turned out this has the length of a dress but as an asymmetrical cut so you will need a basic black skirt or some leggins. I like it anyways because it has a v- neck and falls really good as it is tightly shaped.

Last but not less precious, the white long sleeve shirt I wore already with a playful golden neck line and a skirt out of short black hair. The shirt feel and looks like a horse? But satin like if I had to describe it. It is tight on you waist line and builds like a tend as we go down to the bottom so you have a bit of a sixties look.

Altogether I thought I might not get anything in Zara as I looked the clothes up at the online store before but as an end result I have to say that I really, really loved the fall collection and there were more nice pieces.

I am extremely happy with everything I bought and I hope you had fun reading and that I could give you some outfit ideas.

I wish all of you lovelies a good day XXX C

Outfits Of The Week #45

Hello Everyone!

Today I will show you what I wore this week, as I do every week.

I hope you will find some inspiration yourself and find it lovely.

Monday: I wore a furry, very soft almost satin kind of T-shirt and autumn coloured short pants both from H&M new fall collection. I must say I love both pieces but the shirt looks simply too big on me and I don't like that it makes my shoulders look huge but anyways I kept on patting myself because it is so wonderfully soft and fluffy.

Tuesday: I basically had 10 minutes to get ready so I threw on some dark blue, skin tight, normal waisted jeans and a black basic long sleeved shirt. Further and definitely more interesting I wore a big, big cardigan in grey and black with simple but different patterns and the scarf. Both items are from Mango.
I got a lot of comments on this one saying that it was a effortlessly simple looking outfit and this was what they like, compared to my normal business styles. It was a welcomed change to see and it made me really happy.

Wednesday: I slept in and forgot to take a picture, but it ist really similar to the outfit I wore on Thurday. But yes, shame on me.

Thursday: A really chilly outfit. I wore some black tights, a black basic dress and my grey Mango cardigan.
The cardigan is out of wool and pretty much spends its life as a tend as is has a cap as well and is really wide and big. But I could snuggle in it all day which made it perfect. Only ad thing was that it kept slipping of one side of my shoulder all the time but anyways it great.
I also had my big scare and the black H&M messenger bag.

Friday: was Berlin day!! We went to Berlin to inform ourselves about our future. What we want to study or learn or do and how we can do it and so on. It was pretty interesting and I got so much info material, almost too much to handle.
But anyways, I wore pair of grey shorts from Zara last years collection and a sweater in white with a golden neckline out of pearls which is what made the shirt itself look much more exciting. The material was a stretchy one, took me some time to get used to it after wearing basic material for a couple days but it was wonderful wearing it. The shirt I bought at Zara.

So lovely people, thats already about it for my weakly wardrobe.
As a feedback, I have to say that I enjoy writing them so much and love to review my week in clothes and be able to show them to you, maybe/ hopefully put some ideas to your mind.

I also hope you had fun reading and I wish you a lovely weekend!

Portugal Holiday

Hello my lovelies,

I have missed writing so much and I am so, so happy to finally be able to again.

I have a lot of fun post prepared for you and today I will start with a little post about my holidays.

I hope you all enjoy.

We flew to Portugal, Carvoeiro. My aunty and her boyfriend live there so we usually go once or twice a year. We, my Mum, sister and I, were so excited as we all were ready to get some free time to charge energy again and use the days only for us and our well- being.

We had an early flight and after I managed to pack my luggage and reduce my kilos to 20 kg I was ready to leave. From my hometown, to Berlin, to Stuttgart for an plane change and then to Faro and a drive to Carvoeiro took us 6 hours. Finally there my aunty already welcomed us and showed us our home for the coming 10 days. We lived in a really huge house with four rooms and four bathrooms, a big balcony and a pool. We actually thought that we needed that space as we were four women living together but we seemed to actually only use once room of each of them. How cosy.

My aunty and her boyfriend actually rent and sell houses on the Algarve, so if your are interested in spending some time there as well, this is their address.

This was my view out of the plane. I was able to see the entire cost of the Algarve.

Left: Me on our first night at dinner. We always go out for dinner as a little tradition and spend the hours talking about everything that happened since we've last seen each other. It is lovely every time and gives all of us a homy feeling. This time we sat until 5 am.

Right: The morning after at breakfast, I found a little puppy which was the cutest I have ever seen. I couldn't help but wanting to put him in my purse.

Here the picture in full size again with my sister and smoking mother in the picture as well.

Our first two days con sited pretty much of sleeping, eating and sun bathing and we even got a tan. We had amazing weather as it was the end of october/ start of november. Almost everyday we had a blue sky and sun shine with a perfect 25 degrees.

The 2 to 3 days that were a little cloudy we used for a mega shopping trip and I say mega, because it was..

So much so we had to send our brought clothes back to be able to get everything back with us without paying over luggage. On the first day we went to the "Aqua" were we shopped at Primark, H&M, Mango, Sephora and Oykio and had a lovely sushi dinner meal at an all you can eat diner. And I have to say it was amazing. Of course we slept through the night because shopping can be exhausting and the fact of knowing that the next won't be that much of a difference made us sleep for 10 hours straight. Next day it was time to visit the "Algarve Shopping Centre" in which a went to ZARA big time, Stradivarius, Berska, H&M again.. , Guess, Mango and a couple more.

I have purchased a lot of stuff and I will do separate post of them later this month to share the newest member of my room mates with you!

Of course we did a little "sight seeing" but as we know most of it because this as been our vacation of choice for the last ten years, we only went to one of our favorite places. This is the Algar Seco. All around the Algarve you can find different forms and shapes of cliffs and this is one of the most amazing. You can walk along the cost yourself and get beautiful pictures like post cards yourself. But be warned, don't step too close to the edge, each year many people die because they misjudge the power of the wind and the height as well as weakness of the earth.

As I said their are many things to see and visit there as in every holiday destination. Carvoeiro though is a little fisher mans town which is counted to the top ten most beautiful places to visit and it really is. Next to many restaurants from different countries (ONZE, a greek restaurant is once of my favorites!) you can find a lot of old tradition from the townies and get to know the culture though that as well.
One can do many things too if once won't want to sunbath all day long. For example you can go on an actual pirate ship and sail along the cost or go on your own, personal sailing trip and spend a day on deck or visit the south- west set point of Europe and eat the last bratwurst before Amerika.

I really, really enjoyed this vacation and actually used it to get a lot of sleep, good food and spend some time with the people I love most in the world. I was able to just be me and get new strength and feel ready to take on the exam time now. I had a lot of fun, even learnt new things about myself and family, renewed friendships and had a great shopping experience.

I cannot wait to get back there, hopefully in spring/ summer, I already miss my lovely aunty so much but the knowledge of being sure that we come back makes the waiting bareable.
