Hi ladies, how are you? I revisited Sky Garden in Fenchurch Street and this time the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Together with my friend Izas we enjoyed the warm and sunny afternoon on the viewing platform and also used the opportunity for a quick outfit shoot. Hope you’ll enjoy. Back in May I came to Sky Garden in London for the very first time and loved the exclusive venue immediately. It’s more of a nice place to hang out with friends and enjoy the breath-taking views rather than a garden. As I’ve said in my initial post the venue has an incredible lightning which is perfect for outfit shoots. With this in mind it was only a matter of time for me to return and to do so. My friend Izas who has recently moved to Manchester came to London for a few days and she kindly took the pictures for today’s fashion post. Izas is an amazing hobby photographer so please give her a follow on Twitter and if you need someone to help out taking pictures for your blog, I’m sure she woul

Hi everyone, for many YA fiction fans, August is the month that sees annually a new instalment of The Lorien Legacies released. This year the series was meant to come to an end with The Fate of Ten, but author James Frey revealed already in October 2014 that he will publish at least two more books to give the epic finale the room it deserves. After all, fans have seen the Garde fight and lose for more than 4 books – which felt a bit long and repetitive, so ideally it is their turn to fight back. The Fate of Ten* just landed on my desk earlier this week and I started reading straight away. Here comes my spoiler free review of The Fate of Ten. The Fate of Ten Review and Thoughts Like previous novels, this one starts where the last one ended. Four and Nine fight in New York alongside Sam, who developes a legacy. The others are somewhere deep in the Mexican jungle to discover the secret of the Loric sanctuary. As usual, the point of view shifts with every chapter and the reader gets the pe

Hi ladies, a school exchange to London in 1999 sparked my love for the UK. Back then as a teenager I was absolutely overwhelmed by the vibrant culture and energetic chaos that is London. The trip impacted my entire life and I dedicated all of my time to improve my English. The aim was to return to London after my A-Levels and in 2005 the time had finally come. I attended a private language school by EF. These days, my school which is only a short walk from Waterloo and Southwark station, has been in the news and also sparked nostalgia in me. It has now been 10 years since I’ve finished my A-Levels with an ‘Outstanding’ in English. In autumn 2005, I would attend a private international language school in central London, run by EF. EF (education first) is a private organisation that offers language courses at their private schools spread across the globe and also organises Au-Pair opportunities to the US. I first heard about the Au-Pair programme but when I visited the EF HQ in Berlin f

Hi ladies, how are you? The weather has been so horrible in London lately, but rain and cold have not stopped me from exploring the vibrant city. My recent discovery brought me to The Shard* were I had an incredible time sightseeing together with my friend Serene . If you wouldn’t know that The Shard is London’s latest addition, you would assume it has always been a part of the magnificent city skyline. The impressive building with its shiny, flawless glass front blends in so smoothly into the capital’s history that you wouldn’t believe that it has only been at London Bridge since 2012. In fact, the view from The Shard is one of the most memorable and enjoyable experience I’ve ever had and I’m going to tell you why. The View From The Shard: A Different Experience I was invited by Talented Talkers to pick a London attraction for review. The digital agency looks after Avios , a website that helps customers to turn their everyday spending such as on groceries, petrol or wine into travel r

Copyright Dagmar Sassadeck. Photography: Dominik Schachten With September just around the corner, German fashionistas prepare for the world famous Oktoberfest. Whilst the main action is concentrated in and around Munich, other cities such as Düsseldorf, Cologne, Berlin and even London join into the season which celebrates fun, beer and of course fashion. In last year's  Oktoberfest fashion post I featured the Dirndl, a traditional Bavarian dress consisting of a crisp white blouse, apron and dress. The costume is glammed up with accessories symbolising the Bavarian culture such as the alpine flower Edelweiss, pretzels or hunting. Black heels complete the look. Complete? Well the look certainly needs a handbag don’t you think? Whilst there are heart- and gingerbread shaped handbags on the market, appropriate ones for the Wiesn are rare and hard to find. I had the pleasure to come across Wies'n Tascherl a start-up business run by Dagmar Sassadeck who designs and handcrafts indiv

Hi ladies how are you? You may have seen my #MOTDs over on Instagram and wondered why my ice cream consumption has shot up dramatically. Earlier this month I was very lucky to win a limited edition Holly Fulton for Magnum ice cream necklace over on Instagram. The necklace 'unlocks' the pleasure store in Covent Garden and allows the wearer to enjoy unlimited ice cream until mid September (that's when the shop closes). Have you been to the shop yet? It's a very unique experience and the ice cream combinations are so good and very hard to resist. I will definitely need to go on a strict diet from September onwards.  I love ice cream and sweets far too much and it is hard to resist the temptation. I try to balance out the increase of Magnums with long walks in London and only use the tube to take me back home in zone 3. I've known London for more than 15 years now and got a good map of the city, but it can still surprise me with the most magical places that you randomly

Hi ladies, Bloggers Love once again calls to the community to join their Bloggers Love Fashion Week event on 7th September in London. I've been to their events a few times which you can find here , here and here . Though the events are known for being overcroweded I'm excited to go and to hopefully meet some of you lovelies in person. I will attend both sessions. Have you seen the trending #BLFW over on Twitter yet? Lots of fblogger, bblogger and lblogger will join Bloggers Love's Fashion Week event in September and everyone is already super excited. There's a dress code this time with the very simple and safe instruction 'Black Chic'. You can never go wrong with a LBD, can't you? I'm not 100% sure if I will stick to my outfit, but here is my choice for now. I've got a very classy dress from Topshop, which I had for a while as I no longer buy in Topshop. The material is super comfy and it sits very flattering. The cut and style is super sophisticate

Hi ladies, how are you? This month I'm in London as I'm considering moving back here permanently. It's kind of a trial and testing period really and inbetween applying for zillions of jobs, I had the most amazing time in the capital lately. Here's what I've been up to. Ice Bar London / Heddon Street Having heard fantastic stories of the ice hotel in Sweden and being completely excited by the chance of seeing a similar attraction in London, I invited my friend Izas to come along. We went to Heddon Street after lunch and I was so happy she joined me for the ice bar experience. I've seen and read a lot about it and Alex wasn't really up for it, so you can imagine how excited I was to bring Izas along. It's hard to describe the ice bar, as it is more an experience rather than an ordinary cocktail bar. You'll have to book tickets in advance and I would advice you to do so online, as there's a discount on the tickets. I payed £13.50 including one drink

Hi ladies, how are you? I'm back in London for the month and I'm seriously considering moving here permanently in September/October. As you know my partner Alex lives and works here and of course I'd like to be where he is. So I've been applying for zillions of jobs and inbetween enjoying the city. My friend Izas has recently moved from Spain to Manchester and came down to London for a few days. She is an amazing photographer and she was so kind to shoot the pictures for today's outfit post. Hope you'll enjoy :) Fashion In Covent Garden/Seven Dials Area  The area around Covent Garden and the Seven Dials is one of my favourite when visiting London. It is funky, it is trendy but at the same time classy and arty. There are lots and lots of wonderful places to shoot so we joked around taking pictures from several different angles and it was hilarious when people stopped and watched us. My casual outfit consists of a simple black crochet dress from Stradivarius (ser
