Shopping: Coin purse

I met a dear friend who was visiting from Brazil this weekend. She gave me this really cute and creative coin purse her roommate has started making.

She uses old milk boxes to create these coin purses and brands them with some worldly wisdom. I really like mine, being: Ter coragem de ser felix. (Have the courage to be happy.) Very Paulo Coelho, isn´t it?!

I think I am going to use mine for the beach and for hiking (as the happy cow surely would like to meet some fellows of hers).

Shopping: Dress

Because I was in the area anyway I stopped at Outletcity Metzingen just to see what´s new.. As usual I didn´t leave empty-handed. My favourite discovery is a white dress by Hugo Boss that I am very much looking forward to wearing in summer.

Shopping: Dress

I bought a new dress in the most amazing color! I was strolling around Palma de Mallorca headed towards Passeig de Born when I was drawn to a small boutique. I had a quick glance across the floor and was drawn to about 5 dresses displayed next to each other in the same shade of intensive blue.



As they were all Diane von Fürstenberg I knew they would probably fit me well as I own a couple. I tried the one dress I liked best, it fit perfectly and 10 min (and a credit card slide) later I was the lucky owner!

I am so looking forward to wearing it for the weddings I am invited to this summer.

Shopping: Prescription glasses

Just returned from Livigno where I spent the Easter week for some skiing. I am sad the season has ended but also can't wait for summer to start!

This has been my third time to Livigno, a tiny Italian village close to St. Moritz Switzerland. This place is very unique due to its location: it is nestled into the mountains and can be reached via a toll tunnel from Switzerland. Thus getting there is always a little adventure.

The place is very friendly, skiing is fine, food amazing aaaaand: there is duty free shopping! The product category with the largest offer is glasses, especially sunglasses. As I just bought a pair at Miu Miu in Milano I was not really in need of a new pair. But then: who is ever in real need? :)

Instead I decided to finally buy another pair of prescription glasses. I chose Prada because they looked good. I especially like the blue trim the glasses have.

Shopping: Sunglasses

Milano was built for shopping. This time I sneaked into Miu Miu and got myself some wonderful new sunglasses. I am not so sure about the case as it reminds me of an old grandmother´s coach, but I guess that´s super-ironic-avant-garde and I just don´t get it.
