my private island

Okay, it's not exactly an island it's a balcony. But it does have water and the last few days a lot of sun, and it's my private balcony. Well, okay you got me again. When the bf is home, I do have to share it, but I don't mind too much:-)

So if you want to find me, I will be hanging out like this...

...or, like this:

t-shirt & bracelet: Club Monaco. skirt: Mango. belt: Hallhuber. houndstooth scarf: Vero Moda (just bought yesterday). print scarf wrapped in other scarf: Ann Taylor. ring: forgot! 

is it over yet?

I first want to thank everyone for your sweet comments on my grade. I actually get to take a re-test because some of the things I did were stupid mistakes. While that is awesome, I get to spend my Saturday at school. As my mom always says, “Beggars can’t be choosers!”

denim shirt- Zara. tank- Hallhuber. leggings- BCBG. boots- Russel&Bromely. belt: American Eagle. umbrella- BROKEN:-( 

This week has just been lame in general. It seems that if something can go wrong, it does. Take the day I took these photos, Wednesday, for example. I don’t usually take my photos in the a.m. because I seem to always be running late and it’s still super cold outside. Since I had Zumba after school, I thought I should get in some outfit pics. Well, I am glad I did; my umbrella broke after my first class:-( I was wet and cold with crazy hair all day. Like I said, this week has been lame.  

Frohe Weihnachten

In Austria and Germany it’s traditional to celebrate Christmas (Weihnachten) on the evening of the 24th. It’s called  der Heiliger Abend or heiligabend. This was may party look.

We had a delicious six-course meal and then the bf and I hit the bars. Well I guess we hit the bar since only two were actually open in the entire village and one looked stuffy. Either way we had a good time.

It's hard to tell but the buttons are sparkly.

I didn’t realize how yellow our lighting in the hotel room was until my bf took these photos (thanks Honey Bunny.) I am sure the fact that we chose a yellow sofa as the background didn’t help much. It’s just so cold outside and it’s usually raining or snowing or both. On our way to the city center yesterday it began to hail. I don’t have the proper hair for this weather. 

outfit details:

dress- Hallhuber

tights- Falke

earrings- Lia Sophia
sequin clutch- Club Monaco (Christmas present from my mom)

shoes- Seychelles (now on sale!)

red lipstick- Chanel

I am going to go back to sipping my hot cocoa, my second of the day, and then go swimming, or at least sit in the hot tub. A girl has to take advantage of such luxuries when given the chance!

Hope you all had or are having an amazing Christmas,

B
