Favorite Cali outfit

Shirt: Vintaga/ Pants: Forever 21/ Shoes: Nike/ Scarf: Kult/ Bag: Vintage/ Jewellery: Claire´s and Vintage

As Mark Twain once said: My coldest winter was a summer in San Francisco, and really California wasn´t the warmst place this summer, so this was my favorite outfit for the trip!

Just sharing

To start of this week of right: one of my favorite pics from this summer! Me at the Golden Gate Bridge. Hope you all are feeling great and kick of this week right:)

Tinkerbell- just love her

While in America I watched a lot of disney movies with my friends and siblings. Through all of it and during my stay in Disneyland I decided that Tinker was my favorite:) So when two of my besties and me planned a disney night I thought of it and just wanted to share these cute images with you guys. Who´s your favorite?

heART

All these were taken at the San Francisco MoMa, I´m sorry for not including all the artists names

The Arts have always taken on the question of love. How does love happen to people, how can it be expressed? Looking at the paintings at the MoMa this summer I noticed that it still is a moving question, not just to artists, but to everyone. Including me. I have talked about love and friendship on here before and it is good to see how other creative people have dealt with their thoughts on this topic. Above I have compiled some of my favorite pieces in the exhibit concernig love and companionship. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did, even though the photos don´t do their beauty justice! And in the end we all hope to end up in a state diplayeed in the last painting: the mystical HAPPY END!

Holiday wear- How to be a stylish tourist

First Outfit: Shirt: Target/ Shorts: Please/ Cardigan: Cos/ Sandals: Gap/ Bag: Vintage/ UK-scarf: Kult/Jewellery: Vintage
Second Outfit: Shirt: H&M/ Pants: Zara/ Bag&Cardigan: see above/ Shoes: I don´t know, they are old:)/ Neclace: Promod

I love to travel! You probably know by now. But one thing I don´t like is to stand out as a tourist, in looks or in language. That is one of the reasons I love to learn foreign languages and also reason for a very detailed packing:) As you see above I usually take basics (Jacket, Bag) in plain colors and match them with neon brights and filigrane jewellery. That way I have lots of options and little to pack:)
What are your tips for light and stylish travelling?

Story of my summer- Part 2

The White House/ The Vietnam Memorial/ A really cool quote at the Martin Luther King Memorial/ The American Eagle The Lincoln Memorial

Wow, a lot of memorial pictures in this post, but they are just amazing and they make any stay in Washington D.C. worthwhile.

Story of my summer- Part 1

I know I have been gone for far too long, but I brought you guys back some really cool pictures! So here you go with the first round;)

The Capitol/ Washington Memorial/ Stars and Stripes/ Out of many One/ Jefferson Memorial

I have to admit the weather wasn´t the best for picture taking, but the days in Washington were awesome anyways. I have loved returning to the U.S., my second home:)

The art of packing:)

Now that I am back I unpacked all my bags and- no surprise- they were messy;) I don´t know why, but at least for me that´s how it goes. I pack my suitcase and it is all clean and tidy and it looks nice, but when I come back everything is just thrown in and messed up. I guess it kinda displays how I feel about travelling. I just love to go away and visit different places, but I usually do not want to go back as early as I have to. I like the feeling of coming home, but it just often feels like it is too early, as if there are still so many things to be seen. So here is a picture of my suitcase before I left to the U.S. this summer, but I won´t let you see what it looked like coming back, or what my bedroom now looks like for that matter;)

Being back to blogging!

Well, hello my dears,
Last couple weeks have been crazy and I hope to fill you in to all that happened in the next couple days! It were definitly some of the best days I have had.

Hope you did not miss me too much;) Anyways, I am back now and ready to show you all my great summer finds, holiday pics and a lot of new outfit posts, so stay tuned!
Love, Frieda

Conquering mountains

(3rd pic was taken by my host brother)

You know you can do it, you do. Maybe you don´t think so now, but deep down you know you can! I bet we all have these moments when we need to remember this. Whatever you have been up to I hope you ahve been able to live this mantra. After studying abroad this s what I have been doing anyways. I am sure that if we want to do things we can. That if we hope to conquer mountains we will be able to! Just like in the pictures above we are able to cross our boundaries and to grow. The pictures were taken at Yosemite National Park during an eleven hour hike. I never thought I could do it, and at times it was hard, but in the end we (my host brother and I) did it and we gained far more than just the beautiful view shown above.

Enjoy!

(This pic was taken a while back in Cali)

Today was a great day! I had so much fun and laughed so excessively much! It was just what I needed after a week full of work and exams (I told you guys about it). It is nice to feel a little bit of sun and to have a little free time to spare. I went out to buy strawberries for a brunch tomorrow and could not stop dancing to some old ABBA songs on my iPod. I guess that is what true leisure and pleasure is about: dancing along the street, listening to fun songs and just feeling so settled within yourself that you do not mind the looks you get from the passing cars:)

Impressions of my day

Cute idea: Using an old limonade bottle for flowers/ Working at my "office" (this being my fav coffee shop)/ Loving the fresh cut strawberries in my evening treat/ An old church I took some pictures at that week/ Glasses and my pures, getting ready to go out
Acurately it should read Impressions of my days, since this is a reflection on the last week or so. I am very very sorry for not keeping you posted over the last couple days, but I was gone for teaching a seminar. It was at a small village in a youth hostel and it was held for young students going to study abroad! It was lots of fun!!! But, there was no Wlan, so I could not post anything. Well, if you had just half as much fun as I did your weekend was probably amazing;) Love, Frieda
