This is my second attempt to write a blog. When I started this blog in 2011 I had no idea in which direction it would go and there are seriously so many blogs out there that I really didn´t know how it would go on. I could say that life got in the way so I didn´t continue writing after a few post but honestly I guess I was just lazy or unmotivated. Which looking back now is exactly the wrong thing to do because when you start a blog you have to keep going and going until, if you´re lucky, your little space on the internet gets noticed by some and maybe more people. Well as you see I was not patient enough and stopped investing time and almost forgot about it.

But since a couple of weeks I have been thinking about starting again quite frequently and I think I am ready to do it now. Maybe also because there are some major changes about to happen in my life and I think those are quite the right circumstances to give this another go.

So I thought I´d start with a little recap:

I´ve graduated-
This is what I have anticipated yet feared the most since the last 5 years.
I mean obviously you´re over the moon that school is over!! but I am also not sure if I am ready to leave it all behind just yet. I´ve made the most incredible friends, went partying every weekend and looking back didn´t really have a lot of responsibility.
Well now I do because I need to take my life into my own hands and actually get up and make decisions. It is not like I was sitting at home the last 13 years of school and let life float by but I feel like now it is time to truly grow up.

I also went on vacation...
...you know to congratulate myself for graduating

I am moving-
Believe me up to now I have only been saying it but writing it down is a whole different story. Pretty scary stuff since I am not just moving into another apartment but into a new city approx. 270 kilometers or 2 1/2 hours away from home. Imagine me sitting in front of my laptop with crazily shaky hands and multiply that by 1000 to imagine my mother´s reaction.

There are quite a lot of things I am scared of, first of all the most important thing to me is making new friends and wether I am able to do that. I can´t imagine a time when I didn´t know anybody but over there I don´t. And I am biting my nails of because of that. Now people tell me that everything is going to be fine and that once I am there it is going to be the most amazing time of my life but right now I am not so sure about that.

Secondly, finding an apartment has been far from easy. Generally the housing market in Germany and its big cities is almost empty and not really affordable so finding my own litttle space has been really really diffucult which has not at all soothed my general fear.

However, I am excited. Obviously. I am not like jumping up and down because I am moving into one of the most beautiful and my personal favourite city in Germany, the excitement in more like inwards - but it is there.

Directions-
I feel like I should tell you in what direction I would like my blog to go.
I do not want to start a blog that it solemly about one topic like fashion or beauty, whilst those things do really interest me. I would like to have a place where I can share parts of my life from every differnet angle.

I guess in modern blogger language you would call that a lifestyle blog.
I really wanna try to have as many pictures on this blog as possible however I don´t yet know if I am quite ready to post pictures of myself and all - I might have to build that up over time to get more comfortable with it. Having said this I have been dreaming to buy a really good camera for a while now and I think I might do that with my first wage.

Good Night:D

Time Flies...

I have not really been into watches - since last year, when I got my first ´real´ watch for christmas.
Since then I am a tiny bit obsessed with them, especially gold in all variations, black and white ones.

So here I present you...
my latest cravings:

Michael Kors Tortoise Shell

 

 

 

Michael Kors 5163

Bvlgari

Michael Kors 5314

I could add so much more here but that would be such a long post.
Moreover I think that the first one (the Tortoise Shell) will be the next one I buy for myself (or let someone present me with).
As you might have also noticed, the watches shown above are -except of one- all Michael Kors.Seems like that man has a good taste..and also is not too expensive, whilst the Bvlgari one might be a little out of my price range. But maybe one day....

In My Mind My Dreams Are Real...

Today I tought I might share with you my favourite quotes...



If you want something you never had, you must be willing to do something you´ve never done.
-Thomas Jefferson

Begin at once to live, and count each seperate day as a seperate life.
-Seneca

A smile is a little curve that straightens everything out.
-unknown

Attack life, it´s going to kill you anyway.
-Stephen Colbert


Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live and don´t want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe
Maybe I just don´t believe
Maybe you´re the same as me
We see things they´ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
-Oasis-Live Forever (the title of this post is from an Oasis song as well - I´m quite obsessed...)


So these are my favourite quotes( I could write down so many more, but these came into my head when writing this post)

Thank you for reading!!!

THE ONE´S

I know that I am not a YouTube blogger and this [tag] is probably the oldest thing that exists there.

But I feel like this is a good thing to do when you start a blog because it kind of introduces you and your style to the reader.

Also I felt free to add another item to my list which you will see in the end.

So here it is.

My 8 9 most worn items…:

1)Most worn lipstick/lipgloss:

I should say that I am not a big lipstick person, at all. I wear it only to night-outs, and that just sporadic.

But…If I would have to choose, it would be…

Burt´s Bees Lipbalm [does that even count as a lipstick/lipgloss?]

2) Most worn earrings

Now that is not less difficult because the less I am a lipstick person, the more I am an earring person.

But these are the ones I find myself reaching for the most [I think…]:

Pretty simple but they can give every outfit a precious touch, I find.

3) Most worn shirt

Although that is changing frequently, this is THE ONE for the moment:

4) Most worn Nailpolish

I am not into Nailpolishes whose colour is different from red, pink or nude at all, so my most worn is just a simple red. [I have to wear Nailpolish all the time, because otherwise I would bite my nails off when I am nervous :D]

5) Most worn shoes

Again this is a matter of season and mood but at the moment I catch myself wearing these a lot:

6) Most worn hair product

I have to admit I hate my hair! It is not straight, it is not curly but there is a lot there on my head. So my most used hair product is:

             [This makes it not look so dry and frizzy]

7) Most worn perfumes :

 Just a picture for you here because I feel like describing scents is a very difficult thing.

8) Most worn Handbag:

I call this my Chanel [It is not Chanel, though :(]

9) Most worn watch:

Calling this my most worn watch would be a weird statement, because this is actually the only appropriate watch I have:

                   [Michael Kors - MK 5055]

Wow my 2nd post within two days and also my 2nd post of all time.

I don´t know if I can keep up posting every day and I feel like it´s way too early to say that, because I don´t know if anyone will actually like this blog and continue reading.

So again thank you very much for reading and

...in relation to my spanish exam tomorrow

Adiós amigos!

To start or not to start...

...was the mantra I was repeating for at least a year (that was the time when I first came around Blogs and Youtube) and now I eventually decided to do it.

So how shall I begin…?

Maybe with my name… (is that even appropriate in the WWW today?)

OK, my name is Eva and I am currently blogging from Germany (although I hope that will change when I have finally finished school).

The reason I´m blogging in english is pretty plain -I love speaking English- and also because I am doing this special qualification in school where I hope to be an foreign language correspondent (that sounds pretty pretentious, doesn´t it?) when I am finished. So…excuse my mistakes – I am not a native speaker!

The next mantra I was howling was - How the f*** am I supposed to start?

And this is what I came up with (although I actually had to learn for a Spanish exam that comes up on Monday):

My favourite things of the moment:

And how clichéd that is…

1)Water

I feel bad  saying  this… but I am currently on a diet.

Although it is more like  –eat as much vegetables as you can- without eating too much throughout the day. It is annoying. It really is. Especially because it was my brothers birthday and we have a lot of cake leftovers in the house.

But despite the fact that I am probably running to the toilet every 30 minutes, drinking 3-5 liters of water a day really helps….It makes you feel good and I feel like it helps me losing some weight.

(You can already tell… I am a rambler *guilty face*)

2)Music

My playlist of the month:

·        All along the Watchtower – Jimi Hendrix

·        Wind up dream – Beady Eye

·        God knows – Mando Diao

·        Alloway Grove – Paolo Nutini (have been on a concert last month- amazing!!!)

·        If I had eyes – Jack Johnson

·        Stormy weather – The Kooks

·        Cigarettes & Alcohol – Oasis (I am obsessed with Oasis lately- so `Dear lord, bring them back , please!´ - In the meantime I am listening to ´Half-Oasis´ =Beady Eye (as seen above) )

3) Bangs

On Friday I am gonna cut my hair exactly like that (aware that my face could look like a balloon):

                                                   (Anja Rubik - Google Images)

4) Books

I am not gonna lie…I´ve been a sporadic reader lately but I love books. So these are my current reads:

The girl with the dragon tattoo by Stieg Larsson (I know I am a tad bit late on that bandwagon and yes, I have watched the films already…)

Juliet by Anne Fortier (I am just a sucker for love stories)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling (I am re-reading it for the 5^th time now- no kidding!)

5) My holy scarf

Bought this Louis Vuitton scarf on ebay two months ago and what can I say…I am madly in love with it.

6) Nailpolish

At the moment I am into red and pink a lot…

Shown above  is OPI´s ´Dutch Tulips` .

I guess this is the end of my first blog post. I should say that for now I have not the least idea in which direction this blogging thing will go. I am doing this because it is a lot of fun and it would be amazing if  people like it.

So... Thank you for reading (I have no idea if this will be read actually). And I hope you like it.

Cheers
