SHARM EL-SHEIKH

wow, three days without internet. call me addicted (yes, i allow you to call me that) but it feels like ages. and its amazing! i am not wearing make-up, i am not worrying about outfit posts, i have gained about 30 kilos and I AM SO HAPPY. i spend the entire day doing NOTHING, except reading and eating. right now i cant imagine anything more beautiful, than listening to angus & julia stone and taking little walks by the beach (which are btw, after three days with NO excercie already really exhausting).

i read the best book ever, “one day” by david nicholls, 540 pages in only 2 days. for a kid like me, that grew up with TV / computer aka ADHD, that really means something. i am still scared of camels, their poop smells terrible and i am SO tan, you won’t believe it. naked i look like i am wearing a white bikini. no kidding.
back on friday, many kisses to all of you.

PROCRASTINATION

procrastination should be my first name. this is what i did instead of packing. take a photo of what’s in my travel bag. but here’s the list of my very favorite travel essentials:
1. carmex (must!)
2. YSL foundation, chanel allure velvet, narciso rodriguez hair mist, dior show mini mascara
3. wallet
4. leather bag (with a zipper! watch pickpockets!)
5. ASOS watch
6. passport (i love different covers)
7. iPhone / iPod
8. a good read
9. ZARA soft scarf (can be used as blanket)
10. water bottle (staying hydrated is my mantra!)

THE BOOTS

boots FRIIS & COMPANY ZARIFA BOOTS via def-shop.com / leggings AMERICAN APPAREL / sweater & bag FROM SOUTH KOREA / scarf & coat H&M

these babies finally got to me! they’re the perfect pair of heeled ankle boots and that mocca color just makes my heart melt! even though they’re pretty high heeled (10,5 cm!) they’re really comfortable. i ordered them via def-shop.com, a berlin located streetwear store. first i thought i wasn’t enough gangster for the shop, but soon i realized that they have such cool items by friis & company, pieces and many more. i especially love their selection of nice scarfs, like this one by pieces.

well these photos were taken at 7.30 am, that’s why i have this little swollen eye thing going on (it’s really trendy, i swear!). BBC (bitch before coffee) definitely got a meaning for my photographer (aka the bf) that morning. but hey: my plane leaves at 6am friday morning, so packing has to be done! i’ll try my best blogging from egypt, but forgive me if sipping caipirinhas and reading has first priority 😉


… and because not only me, but also you should get some presents, you can now win a 75 € gift voucher for def-shop.com! simply leave a comment below this post until december 30th. a random number will be picked!

AFRAID OF US



there aren’t many austrian blogs and there are even fewer from austria’s west. but quality is better than quantity and so there’s not many but a very good one from that part of the country. afraid of us is a blog by maximilian and sia and quite new in the austrian blogosphere.

what i really like about their blog is not only the design, that really appeals to my sense of aesthetics, but also their really diverse contents, that reach from fashion, to music and contemporary art. there’s always something really fresh and new on their blog! here’s a little interview, with the masterminds behind afraid of us:

1. Tell me about yourself in 3 words
creative, loving fashion, reclusive


2. What do you love & hate most about blogging?
we love to share our finds with others, to show what we like and also trigger discussions. what we dislike is the fact, that we can’t blog and write about everything we like and see. we’d like to share much more with out readers, but since the internet is already so overwhelming, we’re trying to keep our posts very simple: the contents are the most important to us.


3. If you’d be an animal, what would you be?
foxes.


4. What has been the greatest blogging event / experience for you?
the fashion camp this year was a great experience and we’re definitely attending again next year. unfortunately we missed the after party, which is absolutely not happening again! apart from that we’re in a sad situation in tyrol, there’s not many blogger events going on.


5. Which are your favorite blogs?
our favorite blogs are broken cookies, the kinki-mag blog and inattendu. sometimes we read austrian blogs such as split personality.


6. What are you expecting Santa to put under your tree?
cash is king! we’re planing a trip to vienna in 2012 and we’ll need some cash for that. what always makes us happy: rolls for our lomo-cameras.
