I found the most perfect little blouse in Antwerp. Spring has taken a break these days but as soon as it’s back I look forward to wearing my latest acquisition. I got it at New Look for 30€.

let’s pretend we’re surfing
This season is highly influenced by sports wear. And what better sport to draw inspiration from for a summer wardrobe than surfing? We saw how Givenchy interpreted the surfer for their S/S ’12 collection – shark tooth necklaces, shark skin for leather, underwater colors, a cool attitude. All in all monochrome outfits which looked amazing. But I’m also loving all the fun tropical prints that are popping up here and there (ASOS for instance, they call it the Waikiki Trend) and using neoprene for skirts instead of wet suits is brilliant.
Who doesn’t admire surfers? They seem to have no care in the world, they’re adventurous and cool. Good if we city gals can at least look a bit more like them.

pull and bear
Nowadays shopping abroad is not really what it used to be. I used to shop almost exclusively when traveling, bringing home garments no one else would have. But unfortunately chains like Bershka and Gina Tricot have recently opened in Cologne, so I don’t have to go to the Iberian Peninsula or Scandinavia for those anymore. Then all the Inditex chains (Zara, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius, Bershka, Oysho etc.) opened their doors for the online customer.. Sure, the clothes are still the same but they just lose their appeal now that they’re available for anyone anywhere. At least I spent a lot less money on clothes while I was in Portugal this time!
Still, the portuguese high street is quite good (and cheap!), one of my go-to stores there is Pull and Bear. You can order from them online and I might just do that. Here are some of my favorite items:

Rainbows
Time for happy colors! I had a fantastic time in portugal and the colorful style there inspired this post. Sorry for bad blogging but it was great to have some time for myself and just enjoy being around family and friends and well, the sun for a change.
All colors in one and a little bit of I don’t care..

Black vs. White
A classic. But why choose when black and white look so good together? My favorite pieces in the sexiest non-colors for this summer..
