Summer Essentials

It's almost time to for the weekend fun. Berlin is super hot these days so what better way to celebrate the much needed summer heat than showing you my personal Summer Essentials. I've teamed up with JustFab Germany for a special project. Together with a bunch of other bloggers (Janina, Jenny and the Sophisticated girls) I'm showing you my must summer essentials.
Next up is Anna so make sure to check her page out as well. In my case it's obviously an all white look, I simply love wearing white in summer. To add a pop of color I've paired my outfit with a beautiful green cross body bag. It adds a little twist to my super clean ensemble and it's such an eye-catcher in this emerald green color. Since I'm already quite tall for a girl, I've opted for a pair of flats to go with my outfit. This season I just can't stop wearing espadrilles especially when they come in such a beautiful design as these ones. I would seriously wear this look everyday if I could. Simple yet stylish and super comfy. Now let's come to the fun part of this collab.

Split Food: Green Market

I woke up at 6am for this little food gem: the Green Market. The market is located just minutes from the harbor in Split overlooking the beautiful sea. Its a world of beautiful colors combined with sweet scents and interesting figures strolling in the early hours to catch good deals on a diversity of vegetables, fruits, delicious cheese and honey as well as olive oils.
Everything is of course 'made in Croatia' - a heaven for anyone who loves cooking fresh meals and eating loads of super tasty fruits. Plus the prices are super cheap and you get loads or your money, you'll get great bargains. This one is indeed a must do when you stay in Split for longer than just a couple of days and would dove to cater for yourself during your stay. Happy Friday loves!

DE: Um dieses tolle 'must-do' in Split zu erkunden, bin ich in meinem Split Urlaub um 6 Uhr morgens aufgestanden. Ja Leute ich bin tatsächlich um 6 Uhr morgens aufgestanden und habe mich samt Beutel und einer Menge Kunas auf den Weg zum Green Market gemacht. Dieser ist nur Minuten vom Hafen entfernt und lag somit auch supernah an meinem Hotel in der Altstadt. Für alle, die während ihres Urlaubs in Split für Selbstverpflegung sorgen, ist ein morgendlicher Gang zum Green Market definitiv ein Muss. Man bekommt hier auf tolle Lebensmittel sehr gute Preise und die 'Portionen' sind wirklich riesig. Neben Früchten und verschiedenem Gemüse werden an den Ständen auch tolle Sorten Honig  und Käse verkauft - probieren ist natürlich erwünscht. Happy Friday!

June Favorites

1. ACCESSORIES 

The first time I wore my beautiful TRIWA sunglasses* was on my holiday in Split. They simply complemented my looks perfectly and I above all are really amazing quality. I'm still wearing them almost everyday especially since Berlin has gotten so sunny lately. My TRIWA babes are called  Leopard Thelma and are available here! They are made of hand cut acetate and stainless steel. Scandinavians really do it best. TRIWA has a great selection of beautiful sunnies (and watches) to choose from, so make sure to check out their website!

2. SUMMER OUTFIT

For me Summer in the city always calls for stripes. I've probably told you that a hundred of times. I love pairing a striped top with skinny jeans, mostly high-waisted. But since it's getting super hot in Berlin, I thought I should try out something a little bit more different. So I paired my striped cropped top with the gorgeous high-waisted skirt*  below. The skirt is from Edited.de - get yours here. I added a little twist to the outfit by styling my new leopard print Palmaira* sandals with it. Stripes and leopard print make a good match, don't you think? I can't wait to shoot this look when Carolin is back from her London venture. Stay tuned!

3. CAFES

People who know me, know that I live for a great cup of coffee. I will always choose coffee before tea. May it be a double espresso in the morning just to get me started or a latte during the day with a good friend, coffee is always a good idea! So the spot I'm recommending today is obviously a cafe, suer cute and located in Wedding. I have lived in this neighborhood for almost 10 years now and can tell you, it's becoming the new Kreuzberg or Prenlz Berg. So many Cafes are opening and the vibe is definitely changing into a Szenekiez vibe. This place for example is called Kleine Mensa and is located in a pretty side street near the tube station Amrumerstr. Make sue to give it a try, should you be in the neighborhood. Not only do the serve amazing coffee, but delicious cakes too! YAY

4. TRAVEL COMPANION

You've probably already noticed that I have been using this baby a lot during the past months. I'm obviously talking about the super cool OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL7.  It also accompanied me to my trip through Croatia last month and I can't stop telling you how much I love this little baby. It's really amazing what it can accomplish. You've already seen some images taken with it in my Prague Travel Diary here. When I got back form my Croatia holiday, Berlin Fashion Week was just around the corner. During this turbulent week I had the opportunity to collaborate with Olympus PEN Generation again and this time I got to try out different lenses. Check out the latest images I took with it here!

5. SNEAKERS

Finally you guys. I've joined the Superga* Club! I got my navy ones at Zalando. They are super cool with laid back outfits, yet go with dresses and skirts as well. I simply love them and have been wearing them on the cooler days here in Berlin. I always wanted to buy me a pair, but for some reason some other item kept ending up in my basket. So it really was about time, when I got to work with Zalando again. I can't wait to shoot an outfit with it and share it with you guys. Carolin come back! But for now, these are my June Favorites. What have you been loving last month? Have a great weekend!
