“home”

April 20, 2011| 4 Comments

So today I went to Indianapolis, Broad Ripple and Zionsville with one of my best friends, Christian. I took 186 photos, so it was quite hard creating a selection. I decided to put up the Zionsville ones first, because I am so in love with that town. I was an exchange student there 4 years ago and its my second home. I will be back there for longer at the end of this week. Its a small suburb of Indianapolis and I just love how cute and perfect everything looks. Its incredible.

 

Bye, Bloomington!

So on my last day in Bloomington (btw: did you know Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist went to college here?) I checked out Cactus Flower, a store that has both first and second hand fashion. I went absolutely crazy in there. Seriously. Their stuff is a) well priced and b) very unique. The whole store looks so inviting and has so much character. I talked to a really sweet and gorgeous girl, who let me take photos and told me a little about the store. I found loads of stuff, could have spent hours shopping but my time was very limited. If you ever get to Bloomington you should definitely check them out! Later I went out for Pizza with my two favorite americans: Chrissy and Christian. Saw the Pacers game – had some beers. Ready for Indianapolis!

TOMS | one for one

April 17, 2011| 5 Comments

I have seen TOMS on a couple of people and never tried any on. Yesterday I tried this cool pair on at Urban Outfitters and I have to say: they’re the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. Leather bottom on the inside and fabric on the outside… Its like walking on a cloud. They’re so light! I started reading more about TOMS and found out, that with every pair bought TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. The shoes are being produced in Argentina, China and Ethiopia under fair laboring conditions.

I got them for 48$ here but Humanic sells them online here. Buy them, because you won’t ever wanna take them off and its for a good cause!

Then I found great cheap monday shorts. They’re very light, made out of a silky, slightly see-through fabric. The pockets on the side are oversized, what makes the shorts look really special.

landed!

So I got to Bloomington, the university town. Even though my trip was awful and I got here really sick, my day has been amazing. After I woke up from being a sick zombie we went for lunch and started getting ready for glowfest right after that. A real american college experience! At glowfest I saw the last bit of Chiddy Bang and then Pretty Lights, which was really impressive!

my last day – yummy!

My last proper day in Vienna was wonderful. Went for lunch to Köstlich, an organic vegan/vegetarian lunch place in Färbergasse. They have great lunch menus and salads. I had the chick pea salad with avocado, sesame and the best dressing ever. Sophie went for a curry, that was delicious too. At night I went to Yohm and had the best dinner in a long time. Soft crab roll for starters, tiger prawn as inbetween course, fish curry as a main dish and the BEST chocolate cake ever and souffle for dessert. After we went to Nightflys, a really cool, old fashioned bar by Graben. I had my first Hendricks Gin Tonic and felt like a real grown-up (which I am not, haha)! The bar tender told me everything about liquors, its really a science itself. So now I am trying to get organized before leaving tomorrow morning! Any suggestions what to see in Chicago?
