I'm Still Alive and I Bought Things ~NATURALLY~

Helllloooooo.... anyone still here? As some of you may have noticed I've been MIA for quite some time now and that is because I took a much needed vacay after my university finals. I along with my boyfriend spent three wonderful restful ~ and unfortunately too short for my liking~ three week in Germany.


I don't think I've mentioned this on the bog anywhere before, but I am half German ~born not raised still fluent though~ and still very close and attached to my family living there. Do to the limited time, crammed schedule, and fleeting wifi I decide not to write or post whilst there ~please forgive me~ However the good news is I'm back and do not start Uni until the end of August so you expect to be bombarded with many posts the next month or so ~yay~

And because I feel as though I've deserted you I hope small ~quite small actually sightseeing overshadowed shopping this trip~ haul will sway you.

 

THE TOP

Had to pick it up only €5 at Vero Moda ~quite possibly my favorite European clothing store~ by the brand ONLY. It's right up my alley with the black and white color scheme, light material, spaghetti straps and of course banging price.


THE SHOES

I bought two pairs of shoes while I was away ~very unusual for me~ The first were the spectacularly inexpensive H&M trainers seen at the top left hand corner. Not too much to say about them besides that they are comfy, cheap,
~ €10 BARGAIN~ go with absolutely everything, and got me threw walking the distance of a marathon throughout Berlin and Potsdam. Absolutely adore these.





At the end of my trip I made my favorite purchase my beloved Birkenstocks. Either you love the or hate them ~I am obessesed with them!~ I was looking at these before I left for Germany, but the prices in the states for Birkenstocks are quite ridiculous  ~ approximately $90~ and was able to snag them for €45. These are the white Arizonas and  the are like clouds for your feet and a lazy girls best friend ~ME~

THE TINY BITS AND BOBS

The first purchase I made was the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Inhancer in 01. I've heard amazing things about this product and it was the first time I've come across it in stores anywhere and it looked absolutely gorgeous so I had pick it up. Balmy, glossy, nourishing, heavenly LOVE IT ! Don't even mind the €19 price tag ~ do regret not picking up more shades~



Oh these earrings sent me on a mission. I was in Zara browsing  when I came across these and knew I had to get them. They came in turquoise and orange and originally I was going to get both, but then the little voice of reason came out and told me no. So after debating with my boyfriend who though I should get the turquoise pair, I of course then got the orange pair ~seen below because I couldn't be bothered to take them off~ Immediately I regretted not getting the others so I ended up with both ~after searching through 4 different Zaras that is~ For €12.95 I can't complain.




Like I said it was a small haul, but an amazing time spent with friends and family, the memories are what really matter. I am glad to be back and I hope you feel the same. So if you do, comment what posts you'd like to see, your thoughts, where you're heading to this summer, anything you please really and I'll chat with you again soon!
