Behold the view that made me go to Bremen. From the corner of Wüstestätte and Marterburg you get a gorgeous look at the small, winding streets that lead into the colorful Schnoor neighborhood. Once home to many a medieval fisherman, today it is a touristy place with many pubs, restaurants, souvenir shops and small business selling all kinds of haberdasheries. Efteling vibes, for sure. 

📍 Schnoor Viertel, Bremen, Germany 🇩🇪

Cologne photodump 🇩🇪 This summer I went sol Cologne photodump 🇩🇪

This summer I went solotripping through Germany with their €9 month-long public transport ticket. I've already been told that they will NOT repeat that offer this year 🥲 But I had my fun! First stop: Cologne!

If you saw my stories today then you already know that I lost pretty much all of my photos and videos from that trip. Here's what I could salvage from my DSLR and Lightroom library. More details and pictures are in the "Germany 3" highlight on my profile! 😊

And since I no longer post on my blog, I'm going to post a list of my favorite things here. You can save this post if you want to find it again later! 😌

COLOGNE FAVORITES:
1. Watch the sunset from the Rheinpromenade 
2. Instagram pictures at Fishmarkt
2. Count the Picasso's in Museum Ludwig
3. Lunch/Brunch & shopping in Belgisches Viertel
4. Dinner in Südstadt and @ais.baby for dessert
5. Picknick in the Botanical Garden
6. Coffee at @ernstkaffeeroester & @thecoffeegangkoeln 
8. Pause in the Fort X rose garden
7. Walk around Media-Park and Innerer Grüngürtel for cig city vibes
8. Admire the crane buildings along Im Zollhafen

A Pattern mixing classic: polkadots and stripes

I am wearing a Forever 21 t-shirt • H&M cardigan • Gap skirt and Teva Sandals

On Sunday, K, me and my family ventured out to Haspengouw, Belgium to go on an amazing walk through fields and fields of blooming fruit trees. I have a post full of pictures ready for Thursday, but I wanted to share my outfit for that day first as it’s been a while since my last outfit post. I went for a safe combination, that has proven it’s success on many blogs before. You can’t go wrong with some kind of black and white pattern on top and a bright colored bottom. For comfort I wore my trusty Teva sandals. So classy. I scored this cobalt blue skirt online in the Gap sales back in January, but only wore it for the first time this weekend. I absolutely love it. Bright blue hues, like cobalt, royal and electric are some of my favorite colors to wear, yet are barely present in my current wardrobe. I am still looking for that perfect cobalt dress to wear year-round. I spotted my dream dress in the Kate Spade Saturday collection, but it’s waaaay out of my price range so I’m checking my local Zara for a look-a-like more often than is good. I might bend soon though. I am weak when it come to pretty dresses. And my oh my, does Kate Spade know what girls like.

Come back Thursday to see a little of all the beauty I got to enjoy this weekend.

Hope your weeks are off to a good start!
