Puno pozdrava iz Sarajeva - or: A NewYork-ish outfit.


Zdravo!

I guess it took me almost a month to get settled... Actually no, just to write.
I’ve arrived in Sarajevo and I have been running around ever since. To be honest though: I could not be happier. I simply did not have the time nor the muse to sit down and write. Furthermore the Internet at my hostel is so slow that it is honestly a pain in the a** (excuse my language) to upload pictures which have any kind of quality whatsoever.
Anywho. I’ve been working a lot but also saw/visited/learned a lot of things and most importantly: met a bunch of AMAZING new people. Not only from Bosnia but from all over the world. I’ve made a new friend from America: Brittany who has been with me the entire time. She was also interning but unfortunately headed back to the States yesterday. Thanks to her, my amazing colleagues at work and the other awesome people I’ve met at the hostel and in Sarajevo, the time here has been lovely and to be honest: I don’t ever want to leave again. All in all: I enjoyed myself – and still do, even though I will leave on Tuesday. I’ve decided to come back after Banja Luka (before I have to leave Bosnia). If everything works out I will be back soon – at least for the Sarajevo Film Festival in August. My colleague Amra (whom I LOVE) convinced me to come since she used to work there. She is also the one who introduced me to many other lovely people and showed me the heart of the city. I couldn’t be more grateful for that. Also I had the great honor to meet Elmira - she is helping me learning the language.
Back to the last weeks. Of course I also went to Zenica again, a couple of times actually, to catch up with good ole’ friends. 
The hostel I am staying at right now is more than amazing. Nice staff and great people to share a roof with. I'm so fortunate to have met Brittany and I cannot wait to see her again and more often in the future since she will be studying in London. Y’all know how much I love LDN. Besides that we plan on visiting Belgium next summer for a music festival. We had SO much fun. I still cannot believe that a month has passed already. Luckily we went on one last trip the past weekend: To Dubrovnik. In my opinion Croatia’s most beautiful city by the way... The next post will be about the trip, including some breath-taking pictures (;)), which make you want to catch the next plane to this little piece of paradise. It was my first time there and I enjoyed every minute of it due to good company (even though someone else was supposed to join us but unfortunately it didn’t work out).
Lastly a little bit about this post and its pictures which are – to be honest – not really up-to-date anymore. It is the promised “haul” of at least some of the stuff I bought in NYC, as well as pictures of me leaving Germany (yes my mom took the pictures the day I was leaving for Sarajevo). Details of everything will be below.
I hope you enjoy.

Srdacno,
Tvoja Lea.

Dark Paradise.





***

 All my friends tell me I should move on 
I'm lying in the ocean singing your song  
That's how you sang it  
Loving you forever can't be wrong 
Even though you're not here, won't move on  
That's how we played it
 
And there's no remedy for memory, your face is like a melody  
It won't leave my head  
Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine  
But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise  
No one compares to you 
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side  
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise  
No one compares to you  
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
 
All my friends ask me why I stay strong  
Tell 'em when you find true love, it lives on  
That's why I stay here
 
And there's no remedy for memory, your face is like a melody 
It won't leave my head  
Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine 
But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise  
No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side  
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise 
  No one compares to you 
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight

I don't want to wake up from this tonight  
 
I don't want to wake up from this tonight
There's no relief, I see you in my sleep  
And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me  
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams  
 Telling me I'm fine

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise 
No one compares to you 
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side 
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise 
No one compares to you 
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight

Some O.O.T.D.s & news.

Alo dolls!
[PLEASE NOTE: I wrote & edited this post about two weeks ago but couldn’t upload it because our internet broke down. As you may know my 19th birthday was last Tuesday… I’m not mentioning it because this post was created long before the 23rd . My birthday post will be up next since I’m planning to post more frequently. Thx]
I know it’s been a while... AGAIN! I’m sorry. No I’m actually not... People keep stressing me about this blog & my posts even though they seem to forget that this is a hobby. I wanted to post but didn’t feel like it at the same time.. I don’t know. The last weeks have been a little rough. [You know those days you just want to stay inside & curl up in your bed?] However, I’m feeling much better now. Besides that I decided on courses [& unis] I want to apply for & this is what I’m working on at the moment. Let’s see how it works out... still, I’m SUPER EXCITED! I’ll start next summer or winter which gives me a lot of time to travel, work & chill. : )  [Even though I can’t wait to finally start with uni!]
Furthermore I finally got  a TUMBLR! Haha! And guess what? I’m super addicted... Here’s the link: http://muchadoboutld.tumblr.com/ It’s way easier to post on there on a daily basis since there’s an app for my iPhone  [NO – I AM NOT always at home & near my Macbook -_- … Actually I ain’t most of the times but whatever] & Blogspot doesn’t have anything like that [haven’t they?] Anyways: Subscribe & check it out! : )
Last but not least I thought I’d share some O.O.T.D.s I lumped together the last week.
Enjoy!
I’ll try to be on here more often – EVEN THOUGH this is NOT my freaking job...
Yours, Lea.
P.S. Sorry for the shitty quality of those pictures... I still need someone to take pictures of my outfits -.- Plus my cam is acting up nowadays.

Shirt: Primark, Skirt: H&M, Top: H&M, [Earrings: Bijou Brigitte]

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
