Oh, so boho.

My favorite Vintage Shops, Part II - Retrock Budapest.

A wintery hello to all of you,

I'm back with more of my beloved vintage shops. Now we are going to beautiful Hungary, Budapest. I found this amazing store when I was at Sziget Festival back in summer. Actually my lovely friend Liv (btw check her Insta out, she is awesome! click) showed me the store. It was full of amazing clothes from all over the world, jewelry in turquoise, lapis and silver. Old band shirts, dresses that lived in another era, long skirts full of flowers and hope, blouses with lovely details on them.

Yes, I fell in love with this shop. Thank god they also sell their clothes online.

You should definitely check their shop out - retrock.com

I got three amazing things, one long black shirt (I love to wear it like a kimono), a blouse which has heavenly embroidery on it and a long african dress.

Do you guys love to shop second hand? I absolutely adore it! You can find amazing pieces on a variety of shops. Retrock is really awesome, the prices are fair and they do an amazing job. Also the owners love to travel and get the clothes from so many different places. How cool is that?

I also think that everybody should remember the topics of consume and sustainability. Also don't forget that you help to support smaller companies. :) So take one shirt less from a big concern and go for vintage clothes to help our environment, support your local shop and yourself in being sustainable.

Christmas with Urban Outfitters

#uogifted

Hey guys!

Christmas is coming closer, that's why I wanted to collect some gift ideas for you. 

I definitely needed presents for my boyfriend and my best friend. Thanks to Urban Outfitters - they make it really easy to find good presents. On their website (click) they guide you to different gifts, depending on how much you want to spend.

I love wrapping gifts, it makes so much fun and calms me down. I have then time for listening to some good christmas music, like Ron Sexsmith or Sufjan Stevens. As I always have to drink warm things during winter time I made myself a huge bowl of punch made out of grape juice, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla. It's super easy and quick to make. Decorate it with some dried oranges and your done! The oranges also look good on presents.

Gifts for your best friend:

- Nail polish. I love these fancy glitter colors by W.I.P. (similar) Best for New Year's Eve. 

- Books. I chose Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. 

Its definitely more complicated to find the right present for your boyfriend. What I got...

- Fujifilm Insta X (click)

- cozy vintage sweater (click)

- super soft scarf (similar)

 Yep, i love to eat self-made cookies during christmas time. (ok.... actually the whole year)

Spicy Chai. Also a christmas must-drink. And of course punch.

How do you guys celebrate christmas? Let me know in the comments =) 

I spend time with my whole family, which is great. We go to church, eat a lot and play games. Also I'm playing either accordion or saxophone. My grandma loves it, it makes her think of my grandpa. Christmas is a thoughtful time. I'm thankful for that. 

As it is really a cozy time I also love to dress cozy, warm but still kind of chic. Here is a look I created for christmas eve.
