Color me inspirational
So, as you may have noticed, I have been absent for a couple of days to enjoy some much needed quality time with friends and family during my summer break. A few things have happened, I got some things that I have looked for, forever and overall had a very good time.
I also had the time to read some of my favorite blogs and got a little selection of posts that have inspired me over the last couple of days!
1. The Glitter Guide: Beautiful Alaina shares some of her design secrets and very important life lessons!
2. Apartment Therapy: Pretty insights into a perfectly decorated women`s house!
3. Wendy`s Lookbook: Seven letters: PERFECT! Or maybe just five? Wendy! Definitely check this out!
4. Smile With Your Heart: Just smile with your heart, read, understand, think and learn!

How to: Wear a denim shirt
Since I got myself a light blue denim shirt yesterday, I thought I`d give some pairing suggestions. So, as I said, the denim shirt is a basic, so there are endless possibilities how to wear this. I put together a little inspiration board to show four possible options!
1. Pairing: Tie the front of the skirt over a black bodycon skirt, add cute shoes, some pretty bangles and you are ready to go!
2. Pairing: Wear the shirt with even more denim. I like putting the front of the shirt in the jeans and wear a belt to break up the look.
3. Pairing: Go chic with lacey shorts, roll up the sleeves to make everything look a little easier, pick some sparkly jewelry, a statement necklace, a belt with a fun color or a leopard print clutch!
4. Pairing: Leave the shirt open and wear it over a cute flower print dress. You can add some high heeled sandals or flats and a belt.
What do you think of my pairings? Which one is you favorite and how do you like to wear your denim shirt?

So! What did you guys do today? After visiting the Open House Day of my future University I went to town to get some papers for a friend and then stopped by at a near shopping mall on my way back home. I looked through some of the new collections that hit the stores but only ended up buying something I have been looking for for quite a while - a light colored denim shirt that is neither distressed nor heavily washed. But first I stopped by at Guru, a sandwich chain in Hungary.
I ordered my usual Tortilla Wrap, the "Green Herbs"(Cream cheese with herbs, feta, cucumber, lettuce) and tried something new, a fresh made lemonade with lemon, lime and mint. Both were really good.
And now, my denim Shirt I got at H&M. It`s slightly bigger (from the women`s boyfriend line) but oh so versatile!

Do you own a denim shirt as well? It`s definitely a basic - outfits will surely follow soon!
What do you do...
...if there is just nothing to do? No work, nothing on the usually never-ending to-do list?
...and maybe if there is nothing really you can do? Because you have no Internet and Telephone and there is nothing on TV?
That captures my yesterday. But I took advantage and indulged in some me time. Something you should really do more often!
I read a book in my sweats on the couch drinking a cup of hot green tea. Then I went to bed early and got some extra hours of sleep. - Pure bliss.
I finished "The Time Traveler`s Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger yesterday. I think the book was great overall. The story was well thought through and I liked how she never forgot to take all of the little things back up later in the story.
The only thing, that a lot of readers criticized about this book was, that a lot of the characters were kind of poorly characterized. They didn`t seem to have deeper personalities. Also, I started messing up names and characters because they were all just very similar, everyone spoke the same way. Only two people were different - (one of them being Kimy) and those seemed a little too stereotype.
But, besides that, the book was very well written, easy to understand and logical even though the story is in fact weird. I usually don`t tend to read any Sci-Fi but liked this book a lot and read through it in only a few days.
So, what do you do, when you have a time off? And if you read "The Time Traveler`s Wife" what did you think about it?

Arm Party
This is my first participation in the Bloggers Do It Better Challenge by lovely Kristina from Pretty Shiny Sparkly.
I`m wearing a very simple outfit - grey sweater and skinny jeans, to let the Arm "Party" do all the speaking! So, here it goes:
From top to bottom I am wearing:
- Thomas Sabo charm bracelet (visible charms from left to right: Vine leaf, Pearl with little heart, Dollar sign, Black Chuck)
- Friendship Bracelet - bought on a class trip to Italy in 2010 - all my friends wore the same
- Another friendship bracelet - from my best friend from a class trip to Outerbanks
- White Michael Kors Ceramic Watch (a christmas present from my parents)
- Silver Bracelet with my first name - Anna - engraved (as a present from my neighbors)
- Two cheap faux pearl bracelets
How do you wear your "Arm Party"? Do you, too, wear a collection of cheaper friendship bracelets that have a meaning or do you combine different metals?
See all other Arm Party entries here!

Hello, Hello!
So, since I have not properly introduced myself yet, here is just a short "About me"!
My name is Anna and I will be a freshman studying International Business Relations in Budapest, Hungary this fall.
I am 17 years old, speak german and english fluently (although I`m far from being perfect in english, so please go ahead and correct me!) and have lived in a few different countries around the world due to my parents jobs.
I am starting this blog to share my inspiration and style, to communicate with you and to learn more every day. I like talking about fashion but since I also started a workout routine, I have been a fitness junkie lately.
Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you for every comment or for following me!

Dressing in basics - how I do it...
If you asked my friends, my style its pretty basic. Still I have a few must haves and key pieces and some simple tricks that help finish any outfit. I turn everywhere for inspiration, save images in folders on my desktop or cut out pieces from newspapers and hang them up on an inspiration board. Too start off, here are my "basics in basics":
1. Choose your basics:
The top: usually a plain white t-shirt or button up or a blue and white striped breton top.
The bottom: dark wash jeans are my favorite.
The shoes: I tend to wear mostly flats because they are the easiest for college students and still look good, some pumps would be great too!
2. Add an extra layer:
Add a blazer or pullover as cover up to keep warm or if you are already wearing something long sleeved add a shirt and let the collar and sleeves stick out.
3. Add accessories:
Around the neck: I like to add scarves because they are bold but you can also use a necklace, or even a statement piece
Around the waist: Belts! I almost always wear belts.
Around the wrist: It`s all about the arm candy. A pretty watch, some layered bracelets, add a clutch or a pretty bag
In the hair: Maybe you like wearing hats, maybe you prefer headbands, sunglasses, earrings, take whatever you like.
4. Don`t overdo it:
Stay simple, never use too much. Set a few statements, maybe wear a bright lip color or bright nails but don`t go over the top! It`s all in dressing up the basics!

Yellow and Mustard
I have seen a lot of yellow-y mustard-y pieces lately. These are my picks from the current Zara collection. What do you think? Any must haves? Anything you will get?
My favorite pieces are the yellow belt and blazer as well as the oversized yellow and nude clutch.
