Sunday Post: Catchin' up

School starts in two days *desperate cry* and lots of my friends are getting back from their holidays. This week was spent catchin' up with friends on the latest news and juicy gossips. Seriously, I have never had a week this full, where every single day I went in town to meet another friend, I'm exhausted!

Today, to put the cherry on top, I met my friend Megan and we went brunchin' (I like to think I invented this verb, but I'm pretty sure I didn't) at Cotidiano in Gärtnerplatz in Munich, a bakery restaurant where I've been meaning to go for a long time now. Suprisingly the weather was decent enough to sit outside wrapped up in blankets.

 I had a mint lemonade, granola with yogurt & fruits and a fried egg. The food was delicious but the service did let us down as some food was served later and instead of tap water, sparkling water arrived at our table which in the end we did have to pay for. Next time I will be experiencing my Sunday brunch some place else!

We explored a little the area and the quite expensive shops, including Hey and Acne clothing (I am dying).

We then headed off to find a nice place where to take pictures for our style posts and here are some sneak peaks. I am really trying to learn more about my DSRL camera and how to work with lighting. 

We then decided that we hadn't spent enough money on food so had to go and get a refreshment; and Starbucks (typical white girl) happened to be in the area. I enjoyed my Iced Chai Latte, but it's one of those drinks you either hate or love. So make sure to have a sip from another friend's drink before getting a venti!

What's your favourite Starbucks drink?

Random Places Familiar Faces | Iceland

This year for my family summer holiday we decided to do something different from the rest and go to Iceland. Before landing I wasn't very keen on the fact of going in a cool place for my summer holiday, but after what I saw from my plane's window I fell completely in love with the view.

Liebster Award

I was recently nominated by The Lilhm Project and Dancin' on Tiptoes for the Liebster Award. Their blogs are right up my street, I'm sure they'll appreciate it if you gave their blogs a visit! I figured that this would also be a nice way to get to know me a little bit better and to discover smaller blogs, because the aim of the Libester Blog Award (as I'm sure you know) is to get you're favourite new or less well-known blogs names out there.

The Review | KIKO 3 in 1 Mat

Today's post is going to be all about nails. A few years ago I was introduced to KIKO 3 in 1 Mat by my bestfriend. It is a topcoat that when it dries, it leaves a matte finish to the nail. This nailpolish is great for when you travel: it can be used as a basecoat to create the perfect smooth surface for the colour and as a matte topcoat. It is easy to apply, the formula doesn't dry out in the packaging over time and this makes the nailpolish last for longer on the nail, normally around 5 days. I don't have anything negative to say, love it! I would definitely recommend picking this up if you have the chance to!

Have you tried anything from KIKO yet?

Random Place Famliar Faces | A Day in London

Last month I came back from my four days spent in England. I had a lovely time there and exploring around the city, London turned out to be (as always) an amazing city hiding fascinating places and cute cafes to stop by.

The Eyeliner Post

Applying eyeliner is something that I just can't get the hang of. Slowly I am getting there, but it takes me a while and a lot of concentration to apply it evenly on both lids, the wing is probably the hardest part for me.
The easiest way to apply it fast and decently is using the ''post-it note trick'': stick a post-it note from the outer corner of the eye towards the eyebrow tail.
The best way to not overdo with eyeliner is to start with a thin line with the open eye, so that you can see how it looks, and then making it thicker. I like to keep my makeup minimal so I normally go for a really thin winged eyeliner. My goal is to reach a point where I can apply eyeliner on a daily-ish basis.

Is there an area of makeup you feel you have to yet master?

SummerTrilogy | A Summer Snack

Last week I was scrolling through my pinterest when I came across the sweet potatoe wedges recipe. It sounded interesting and I knew this had to go down. I then decided that a snack was not enough for my post so I added a green smoothie recipe.

SummerTrilogy | The Outfits

And here we are at out second post of my little tag for these summer holidays in the northern hemisphere. I went on and picked five outfits that  I would wear in different casual/not too formal occasions. I didn't add any bags here because during the summer I don't bring them with me, you might be asking yourself why, neither I know!

July Monthly Favourites

I don't even know what to say because this month is over and this means I am officialy half way through my 2014 summer holiday (really? already?), and when it's the end of the month it only means one thing: monthly favourites.
