Hey there dolls :-]

I'm sorry for my lack of posts [AGAIN] but I had plenty of stuff to do: I am going on vacation tomorrow plus I had a lot of organizational stuff to do since I am moving the week after coming back from my trip. [BTW: I will upload another post today which actually 'contains' my holiday destination...]

Anyways. The pictures above were taken at my grandma's two weeks ago. My mom & me for a couple of days. It is always lovely to be around your family or loved ones if you need a break from everything & some time to recreate.
I have another post coming up with pictures from my mamaie's and will probably upload it tomorrow morning.

I was wearing a quite casual outfit: Jeans, top and one of my favourite cardigans [mainly because it goes with nearly everything].
As for my shoes I was wearing a lovely & comfortable pair of wedges. Also, I am very proud of my 'self-designed/combined-necklace(s)' ^.^
The little cross is from my mom [she got it for her confirmation], the 'Star of David' was a gift she got me in Jerusalem & the hamsa is from Morocco [even though I bought it in Cologne a while ago].
I hope you enjoyed the pictures & above all my tata's roses!!!!!

Yours, 

Lea.

Hello Brooklyn!

"Like a mamma you birthed me, Brooklyn you nursed me
Schooled me with hard knocks, better than Burkley
They say you murked me by the time I was 21

That sh*t disturbed me, but you never hurt me
Hello Brooklyn, 

If we had a daughter, guess what I'mma call her: Brooklyn Carter
When I left you for Virginia it didn't offend ya
[...]
I love your corners, I'm half your soul
Hello Brooklyn."

- Jay-Z

Bună!

This is just a little OOTD/EOFTD-post.

Enjoy!  

BTW... I have always loved Jay-Z BUT since I saw him live [Marion and me attended the "Watch The Throne" concert in Frankfurt] I am obsessed. He's one of the best rappers alive. Hands down.

Yours,
Lea.

Collective Haul ladies & gents!

Alo dolls!

I'm sorry, I know I've been M.I.A. for a while now... I've been super busy since my mom is at my aunt's. Besides that I'm still trying to figure out what to study... The list of programmes I'm interested in only seems to get longer & longer. Anyways, me and my dad started doing a "Study Matrix" with Pros & Cons of each subject & future job. Let's see how this works out.

I've been thinking about a post & thought I'd just do a "collective-haul-sort-of-thing". NO - I didn't buy all that stuff at once... I've been picking up the following goodies for a couple of months or so. : ) 

I really wanna do outfit posts but it's hard to find someone willing to take pictures of my outfit each day. It's way easier for me to take a picture of my F.O.T.D. or other stuff. However, I hope that will change once my mom gets back. Haha! 

I'll stop rambling now... Enjoy!

Yours truly, Lea
