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 🇩🇪

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

Back In Action

 

 

Sweater: J.Crew • skinnies: Zara • heels: Cypres • handbag: Aldo

 

It’s been two weeks, the longest I’ve ever gone without updating my blog. For the first time in 3 years, I took a break from The Ginger Diaries. I needed time away from my blog, Twitter and Instagram after growing more and more insecure about what I’m doing and writing here on the internet. I could write a page-long blog post about how I felt two weeks ago, but it all doesn’t mean much anymore. I’ve calmed down a little, got my thoughts straight and have a few new posts lined up for you!

 

Filling the gaps not-blogging created in my planner was surprisingly easy. K and I went out for breakfast, one of my dearest friends came to Antwerp for a visit, we took part in K’s fraternity quiz and didn’t lose, our uni group got together for coffee a couple times after class and I caught up with school work. There you have it: two weeks of tweets in one sentence.

 

When K started wondering why I hadn’t asked to take new outfit photos in a while, he pushed me to get back into action. He even thought of this location, and reminded me that you guys might like to see my new sweater. It was a gift from my mom, so I haven’t broken my shopping ban, and I have worn it so many times already that my friends at uni frowned when they saw me wearing it again last week. The sweater is made from a silk-merino mix and therefor it must be dry-cleaned, but I think this sweater can be worked into so many outfits that the special care it needs won’t stop me from wearing it! In my last outfit post I showed four ways I’ve worn my maroon pencil skirt on the blog before, and some asked me to share remixes more often! If I do my best, I believe the next one could be about this new sweater.

 

I still have a lengthy Bloglovin’ list to catch up on and it is already pretty late in the evening. I should get going! Have a nice week!

    Mooi hoor Nikki! Ik neem ook af en toe een ‘blogbreakske’, niets mis mee. Een offline leven heeft nog altijd meer prioriteit dan een online, vind ik. Benieuwd naar hoe je de sweater de volgende keer zal combineren!

    Welcome back! Blog breaks are SO necessary, I feel. And I always feel way better when I come back from them. Blogging feels fun again! And you get to be present in your real life in the meantime.

    It’s good you took a blog break! Sometimes it’s nice to step away to refresh! I should probably do that myself! Anyway, I love your sweater!

    oooo. I love this look and am selfishly excited that you are back to blogging. I know what you mean about taking a break though. Some days I feel like I am just going through the motions. But blogging should be fun, like your sweater! I love how effortless this looks.

    Pinning now to copy later, since I just got my own army green pants from Old Navy! Welcome back to blogging!

    So much to say- first welcome back from your blogging break! I missed reading your updates and seeing your fantastic style, though sometimes breaks are needed. But so you know, I love Ginger Diaries.

    Also- it rocks so much that Kenneth noticed you lack of blogging and found a spot for photos and all. What a supportive man!

    On a more sartorial note- this is a neat sweater. If it had just been described to me, not sure what I’d have thought but it is gorgeous to see. Plus, you always look fantastic in blue 😀

    That top is beautiful, such a lovely gift and I can see why you would want to wear it so often! 🙂

    Hope you feel refreshed and recharged after your blog break! 🙂 Sometimes we all need a little time away 🙂

    And yes to the remixing posts – I always like seeing the different ways people wear things!

    glad you back 🙂 i’ve been there, although, when i go through my “blogging blues” i usually take months off, haha. i’m glad you took the time you needed. sometimes you just need to step away and breath for awhile. and he was right, i needed to see this sweater. if i had it, it would be on a tri-weekly rotation 😉

    Yay! The sweater really is very pretty, I would never frown upon anyone wearing it! And everybody needs a break every now and then, both from blogging and sharing every moment of your life on twitter or instagram!
