Fall Favorites

Hey guys,

I don't know about you, but autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year. I just love the cosy fashion, hot drinks and awesome fall atmosphere. So I thought this might be a good topic to put some favorites together.

 
Candle

I'm so in love with the Yankee Candle in the scent Fireside Treats. It smells just like roasted marshmallows and after one or two hours the whole room smells like a cosy, warm patisserie.

Fake Flowers

Especially in the fall I find it really nice to decorate my room with candles and fake flowers to create a warm atmosphere even though it's getting cold outside. A little bouquet with red and orange flowers makes every room seem so homy and cosy.

Hot Beverages

Whenever I come home from a windy walk outside I am literally always craving any kind of hot drink. During the day I prefer a sweetened macchiato to get a quick boost of energy, but at night there is nothing better than a chai latte or just a normal red fruit tea.
With this being said, it's not going to surprise you that I am in love with the new reusable cups from Starbucks. They are perfect to take your coffee or tea with you to university and look super cute.


Fashionable Rubber Boots

I purchased these Michael Kors rubber boots a moth ago and instantly fell in love with them. They are super stylish, warm and comfortable without making you look like a ten-year-old. The last couple of days I was wearing them almost every time I left the house just because you don't have to worry about them getting dirty or your feet getting wet. Whenever they get dirty you can just wash it of and they look like new.








Big Sweaters

There is nothing more comfortable and cosy as warm big lambswool sweaters in XXL from the GANT men's collection. They might be on the more pricey side, but I can promise you, they are totally worth the money because they have a lovely fit and never get old or itchy.

Big Loose Waves

I actually like this hairstyle all year around, but especially in the fall I appreciate wearing my hair open so it covers up my ears and works just like a scarf around my neck and chest.

XXL Scarfs

In the fall and winter time you will never see me leaving my home without a big wrap around scarf. In my opinion a beautiful scarf completes a warmer outfit and protects you from getting a sore throat. It can also make any boring outfit look like you put a lot of effort in, when really you didn't!

Dinner Outfits

Exeter | UK

Hi everyone! 

Sorry we have been a little absent the last couple of weeks, but things got very busy recently. Ilaria came to visit my at university though, which was so exciting! There was barely time to take any proper picture but we did manage to snap this one just before we went out to dinner on her last night. If you live in the UK and have not been to Ask Italian... I don't know what you are doing with your life! It is maybe even my favorite chain restaurant over here. I tend to always go for my favorite dish which is the seafood linguine. I personally love seafood but I guess that is personal preference. Pizzas are amazing as well, and don't even get me started on the desserts. Mouthwatering, I honestly mean it.
But now to the outfits. It was a bit chilly on this day so we wrapped up a bit. The jeans I had only just purchased and have been wearing almost every day! I've always wanted ripped boyfriend jeans but never found any that are actually fitting and don't make me look bigger than I am.

Fur vest - Local boutique

And just look at that food... The cakes were some of the best ever! Pistachio plum tart, cheesecake and a chocolate fudge tart. Some ice cream on the side and my day is made. Maybe even my week that's how delicious it was.

Hope you are all well,

OOTN

Sky Garden | London

For my dad's birthday this year we went to Sky Garden in London for one of the nicest dinners I have ever had. I did not know what to expect from this place, but it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere, not to mention the food at the restaurant on the 37th floor above the actual garden. Once the sun had gone down, the bar area had a band playing throughout the night which made the whole scene absolutely unreal. Looking over the entire city while being in such a pretty place was an experience I recommend to everyone. For the occasion I decided to dress smart-casual, as we arrived in the late afternoon, yet I didn't want to go to casual. So I opted for some of my classics.

Top - Zara
Leather leggings - h&m
Chelsea boots - asos
Handbag - Rebecca Minkoff

OOTD in France

Strasbourg | France

Two days ago my boyfriend and I wanted to take advantage of his last free days and decided to take a short trip to Strasbourg. From the lake Constance it only took us two and a half hours by car, so we left early in the morning so we could have a full day in the city. Even though I've been to Strasbourg before, the beauty of it still amazed me.
One thing to know about me (and Britta) is that I could die for good macarons and baguette, so France with its cute, little patisseries is always like a food paradise for me! If you ever go to visit Strasbourg or France in general, you should definitely go to a "PAUL" bakery, because they have the best macarons and baguettes I ever had.

But now to the outfit. Of course you should dress up a little to go with the city lifestyle, especially at the department stores such as "Printemps" or "Galeries Lafayette", where they sell  the most luxurious fashion, and even if it's not affordable, is absolutely beautiful to see.

Striped Top - Forever 21

OOTD at Lake Constance

Constance | Germany

I spent most of my summer break at my family's home right by the lake Constance. It's the ideal place to relax, swim, sail and prepare for my upcoming exams in fall. A few days ago one of my best friends and I finally managed to spend some time together, so we took a walk by the lake and decided to take some pictures because of the beautiful fall atmosphere. Luckily we dressed up a little in case we considered going out for dinner, so the outfits were a little more put together than normal.

At the end of the day we decided to stay in, and made some baked potato wedges with guacamole, but we still managed to get a few shots of one of my favorite fall-appropriate outfits.

Top - Zara
Cardigan - Mango
Jeans - Only
Boots - Michael Kors
