Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany after seeing one single Pinterest picture? Yes, yes I did.

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 🇩🇪

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

8. Pause in the Fort X rose garden

Casual Style, Spring/Summer, Style · 23 May 2013

That Shirt Is Too Pale For Your Fair Skin

H&m shirt • Zara jeans • Old navy bag • H&M ring • Pieces belt

The reaction of my co-worker when I bought this silver-y shirt from H&M two years ago was enough for me  never to wear it. Until this weekend. When It was rainy and windy and cold and I should have gone for something that was way more weather appropriate. I do stupid things. But I just love how the outfit came together, rain or no rain. I had this outfit planned in my head since last summer (and I actually have proof of that), but just when I knew how I’d style this grey shirt, the seasons switched and my mint jeans ended up on the bottom of my three pairs high pile of colored jeans. 

I can’t come out of my words again. So I’m going to inform you on some rather big happenings in this young life of mine. I had a rough few days at my internship this week. With only two more weeks to go the goodbyes have started. It feels weird to tell people they won’t be seeing me around anymore when they shout “see you next time!” before they head out. I’ve been part of the team for nearly 4 months and I got the feeling that people were starting to get used to having me around, and now my time there is up. I wish I could stay, but I’m going to uni full-time after summer and seeing the schedule I know I could never combine that with a full-time day job. I think I’ve finally decided on my Masters by the way. Sociology with a master in social care & welfare and a minor in labor. I choose the university of Antwerp because I fell in love with the city’s atmosphere. And maybe because K studies there as well. Just maybe. I am currently contacting stalking dorms and estate services for a room / studio for the next two years. I’ll be living “on my own” and I couldn’t be more excited, yet freaked out at the same time.

Lastly, I can also inform you that I successfully handed in my thesis on Tuesday after I battling Word 2010 for nearly 4 hours. Extremely frustrated I was, but it felt ooooh soooo gooood at the same time. Now I have one year of peace, and then I’ll have to write another one. For my masters. I brace myself.

Sorry for my massive over-tweeting about it all and I wish you guys an awesome weekend!

    I am seething reading this. NEVER, EVER is it appropriate to say something about the color you are wearing. I ONLY comment on it if I am asked, and even then I say it nicely. (I am known to be blunt but even I have sense to tone it down!) It looks lovely and you look lovely, that is all that matters!

    Hi Nikki! Loving the mint and yellow combo, very unexpected but so cute. I too have planned out outfits for seasons only to have the season pass and then wait a year till I can actually put my outfit plan into action. But I think this outfit is fab – and definitely worth the wait.

    Lady, you are pretty pretty pretty 🙂 Having freckles myself I could only wish I were a redhead as well.
    Glad you decided to forget your co-worker's words and go with the shirt, the whole outfit suits you really well. And the bag is lovely.

    Ah, congrats on having handed in the thesis, Nikki, what a relief I'd imagine.
    Antwerp might be the best option then, the city is really nice and gives a very good atmosphere, really sure you'll be happy there.

    All the best for the last few days of your internship, it's always nice to know you had an impact on other peoples lives and professional roles too.
