First Glimpse of Autumn

Hello everybody,

this year we had a really short summer in Austria. The whole weather feels like autumn a little bit already and it could as well be the end of September instead of the end of August. However, although I would have loved the summer to last a little bit longer, the current weather gives me the perfect opportunity to get out my new coat and my new sweater I bought in Strasbourg and show them to the world... ;)

coat: Chattawak (Strasbourg) | sweater: Somewhere (Strasbourg) | jeans: American Apparel | 

socks: Happy Socks (old) | sneakers: New Yorker | bag: Hallhuber | bracelet: Bijou Brigitte |
flower brooch: H&M (old)

Have a great weekend!

The Cats on Sea

Hey there,

this year I made it to the Biorama Fair Fair in Vienna for the first time. This is a trade fair where you can buy all sorts of products (clothes, food, cosmetics etc.) from sustainable producers. It always takes place on a weekend in the middle of July and in the last years I've always been abroad. Luckily this year David and I went on vacation two days later and therefore I got finally the chance to check it out.  :)
One of the exhibitors was Green Ground, a very nice shop in Vienna, where you can only buy organic and/or fairly produced clothes from different labels. As a big cat lover I fell immediately in love with these lovely trousers from People Tree you see below and of course they had to come with me to Italy.

Top: H&M(similar) | trousers: People Tree | necklace: from Brighton |

Have a beautiful day!

Placid State of Mind

Buongiorno ragazzi,

I just arrived back in Vienna after two perfect weeks in Ischia, a lovely island in the Bay of Naples. I've been travelling quite a bit already but I have to say that this was one of the best trips I've had so far, probably also due to the reason, that we didn't try to explore 3 or 4 places in two weeks but sticked to one territory and explored this one properly. Plus we really reserved time for doing "nothing", except reading, writing, playing Malefiz ;) and lying on the beach. And that worked - I honestly think I've never been this relaxed before! :D

Garden Jungle

Hello everybody,

last month I helped myself to a beautiful new one-piece bathing suite (covered with black and white jungle motives) by Viennese designer lila. I am a big fan of her designs as she often works with belts and ribbons which make it possible to wear her clothes in different ways and I like that her things are often very sweet but cool at the same time.
Anyways, as I didn't want to wear my new favourite bathing suite just poolside I decided to incorporate it into a usual summer outfit as well... :)

necklace: vintage | shoes: ZARA (similar)

Have a wonderful evening!

Maritime Time

Hello everybody,

recently I was in the mood for a really maritime outfit. Blue and white stripes, anchors (even on my shoes) and a little red - everything's in there and I really like it. :) Perhaps my current (or steady) love for maritime clothes has something to do with the fact that Austria is a land-locked country with no sea far and wide and that living at the seaside has been one of my most long-lasting dreams. Besides, I have really itchy feed right now and am already so much looking forward to my vacation in South Italy some weeks from now...
However, as there is no sea wide and far (at least not near Vienna), Katja and I went to the little river near our workplace to make some nice pictures. :)

Baroque Garden

Hello everybody,

today Katja and I got the chance to shoot some really nice photos in the beautiful garden of baroque Stift Melk in the lovely Wachau. I'm wearing one of my favourite summer outfits. None of the things are new but I still think that the white dress plus the straw hat and the matching shoes make for a beautiful combination, which I definitely wanted to share with you... ;) Plus I really love the pocket watch necklace! I bought it on a vacation in the U.K. two years ago and it reminds me of the beautiful time I spent there together with David.

dress: ZARA (similar from mint&berry) | hat: satoko koyama (old) | shoes: HUMANIC (old) |

Finnish Summer Style

Hello everybody,

I am really happy that summer has finally arrived in Austria! The weather in the last few days was beautiful (perfect for the holiday weekend) and I really hope it's going to stay like this for a while. In any case the current weather gives me the perfect opportunity to finally get my new summer dress from Muka va (a very cool Finnish label I discovered at the last Modepalast in Vienna) and my new sandals out of my closet and into the sun. The cute, black headband is from Muka va too, you already know it from this post.

dress: Muka va | headband: Muka va | shoes: ZARA

Have a great day!

Yours,

Rose Passage

Hello everybody,

today we had a big family get-together in the countryside for the baptism of my youngest nephew Benjamin. In my opinion a very good reason to put together a nice "Sunday best" outfit including my favourite festive skirt by Austrian designer Lena Hoschek.
Near the church where the baptism ceremony took place David and I discovered this really nice passage with roses and decided to take a few pictures... :)

skirt: Lena Hoschek (similar) | 3/4 sleeves T-shirt: MANGO (similar) | cardigan: ZARA | 

necklace: DIY | tights: H&M | pumps: Lazzarini | bag: Hallhuber

Have a wonderful evening!

Yours,
Tulip

PS: With this look I take part in vreeni's "look of the month". Wish me luck! :)
