Autumn in August

It’s ridiculous. It’s August and I am wearing my favourite autumn/winter sweater. And tights. I’ll say it again: it’s August.
The shitty weather of the last days made me longing for autumn somehow. Comfy sweaters, blankets, tea and cuddling on the couch. Wonderful. I’d love to go autumn shopping at Maingold here in Würzbug but unfortunately it’s the end of the month and we all know what that means. I’ll have to wait for a few more days, I guess. Walking past their window every once in a while makes me sad because they have the prettiest clothes. Well, we’ll see.
The Main river is one of my favourite places to shoot for the blog. The atmosphere is just amazing. You’ll have to see it for yourself to know.

Es ist lächerlich. Wir haben August und ich trage meinen liebsten Herbstpulli. Und Strumpfhosen. Im August. Du ahnst es nicht.
Das bescheuerte Wetter der letzten Tage hat mir so Lust auf Herbst gemacht. Bequeme Pullis, Decken, Tee und Kuscheln auf der Couch. So schön. Ich würde gerne Herbst Klamotten shoppen, am liebsten bei Maingold, aber mir fehlt aktuell leider das Geld. Ende des Monats halt, ihr kennt das ja. Das Schaufenster macht mich immer traurig, wenn ich dran vorbeigehe. Die schönsten Klamotten, echt.
Am Main mache ich am liebsten Fotos. Die Atmosphäre ist einfach großartig. Muss man gesehen haben, um zu wissen, was ich meine.

July through my iPhone

Another month has gone by and that means what? Right. Time for a new Instagram posts! I’m quite active on there so follow me if you like! Let’s get started.

After an exhausting run.

A beautiful sunrise over one of my favourite places in Würzburg. Alte Mainbrücke.

An OOTD which my lovely boyfriend photobombed. Isn’t he just adorable?

Amazing vegan lunch at Wunschlos Glücklich!

Me in full costume and make up on a photoshoot for the musical I play in. With my lovely Flora.

Started knitting again! Studying for nursing school is eating my time right now but I can’t wait to knit more again.

A well deserved iced soya latte after an early shift.

I just read it after Kathi, my lovely second self, recommended it and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Seriously, I couldn’t put it down.

My new glasses by Munic Eyewear. They’re the most comfortable a glasses I have ever owned and I can easily wear them for an entire day without any pain or headache.

A Soypresso for in between everything.

Breakfast. I’m having a serious blueberry addiction.

Würzburg city the other day. No filter. I love this place.

New in (FINALLY!): vegan Birkenstock Arizona. They’re from the Autumn/Winter Collection 2014/15 but our local shop had them and I couldn’t resist.

Wow, those were many, weren’t they? Choosing from all the photos I took was particularly hard this time. I hope you enjoyed it! X

Perfectly Happy

“Wunschlos Glücklich“, that’s the name of my favourite cafe in Würzburg. In English it’s something like “perfectly happy” and that’s what you are in there. This is definitely the most beautiful place in the whole city, in a little curtilage with vintage style furniture and homemade food and drinks. They have a lot of vegan things to offer and it all tastes just amazing.

“Wunschlos Glücklich”, so heißt mein liebstes Lieblingscafé in Würzburg und genau so fühlt man sich da. Das WG ist mit Abstand das schönste Café der Stadt. Mit dem Innenhof, den Vintage Möbeln und hausgemachten Leckereien. Es gibt sehr viel Veganes und alles schmeckt einfach wunderbar. Ich liebe diesen Laden.

June through my iPhone

June was crazy. Do you know the feeling when a lot of free time is over and you were always really, really busy but looking back you can’t thing of anything you’ve done? That’s how I feel. 2014 is halfway over. Can you believe it? Enjoy my little Instagram recap.

An all black ootd. I’ve fallen back in love with wearing all black. Also those true fruits smoothies are SO delicious!

The night the boy and I made a “desert dinner” which was pretty good! Amazing atmosphere.

Another ootd.

Festungsflimmern! Open Air cinema in Würzburg on the fortress I showed you in this post. It was pretty cold but the film (“HER”) was so amazing, the location was perfect and just everything about that night was wonderful.

The most beautiful curtilage I’ve ever seen? This is actually a restaurant in Würzburg, the oldest one of them all if I’m not mistaking. It reminds me of Romeo&Juliet.

Vegan Birkenstocks! Oh, I am SO glad they exist! I’m still hoping for a vegan version of the Arizona.

I hope you liked the pictures? There’s more on my Instagram account. X

Fortress Friends

This week two friends from home came to visit us in Würzburg which was simply amazing. We ate (a lot!), strolled around the city and went up all the stairs to Marienberg Fortress. The view from up there is incredible. It’s easily one of my favourite places in Würzburg. You can imagine how it was back when dukes and duchesses lived up there. We were lucky with the weather: shorts and t-shirt without freezing!
The first picture above is actually one of my most loved ones with the boy. Can’t tell you what it is that makes this one so special. It just reflects us pretty well, I’d say.
Thank you, guys, for visiting and making the last days so beautiful!

Diese Woche kamen Freunde aus dem Westerwald zu Besuch und es war einfach wundervoll. Viel gegessen, durch die Stadt gewandert und tatsächlich die gefühlt eine Million Stufen hoch zur Festung Marienberg marschiert! Die Aussicht von da oben ist der absolute Wahnsinn. Auf jeden Fall einer meiner Lieblingsplätze in Würzburg. Man kann sich einfach total vorstellen wie es früher war als noch Grafen und Gräfinnen da gewohnt haben. Außerdem hatten wir riesiges Glück mit dem Wetter: Shorts und T-Shirt ohne zu erfrieren, und zwar problemlos!
Ich liebe dieses Foto vom Freund und mir. Definitiv eins meiner all time favourites. Keine Ahnung, warum. Es beschreibt uns irgendwie total gut.
Danke, dass ihr da ward, ihr Lieben, und die letzten Tage so schön gemacht haben!

I love this man. How handsome is he?!
Wow, that was a photo heavy post, wasn’t it? X

I did it. I ran my first competitive 10km run in Würzburg, the Residence Run, on Sunday with my friend Isa. It was hard because it was hot but I did it. And quite well I’d say! It took me 56 minutes and 52 seconds, less than an hour to run 10.000 meters and I am really, really proud of me.

The boyfriend took some photos but didn’t get many of the run itself because it was so crowded. The weather was pretty amazing so a lot of people came to watch.

Enjoying a banana protein shake and a whole wheat bread with almond butter and banana two hours before the run. An amazing protein booster! The right nutrition is extremely important when doing sports.

Beautiful Würzburg Residence. The latest 3 Musketeers film (the one with the flying ships that really wasn’t that good) was shot here and it is most definitely one of the most magnificent places in this city.

Placing my competing number.

Happy, proud and exhausted after we did it. First things first: rehydrate!

Happy after the beautiful day.

Thank you, Isa and Chris for the day and sticking with me throughout it. Even though it was tough and I suffered and had to fight through it I did it. And I will do it again. Only that time I will be better, faster and even prouder!

Did you ever do something like this? X
