...these are a few of my favorite things...

One of the most annoying things in waiting to find a flat was not having my clothes and stuff with me. I flew to Spain with 20kgs and just the most important things, so I´ve been living in 3 Tshirts, 1 leggings, 1 pair of jeans and one pair of boots for the past two weeks. It also doesn´t make my dressing up in the morning easier that just before I came it was 30C and full sunshine, while the past week it has definitely cooled down and has rained almost every day. I´m longing for my knitted jumpers, my rainboots and my umbrellas, but in the meantime I´m trying the make the best of what I have and hopefully my stuff will find its way to my new closet before the end of the week! ;)

I´d love to wear this today:
1. Joe Browns Snuggly Cardigans 
2. Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon Medium Tote in Khaki
3. Paige Premium Denim Paloma Leather Leggings
4. Marc Jacobs Jungle Umbrella
5. and I think it´s time to rewatch Vicky Cristina Barcelona (one of my favorite movies ever)
6. Marc Jacobs Khaki Rainboots 

...these are a few of my favorite things...

1. Marc Jacobs - Pretty Nylon Laptop Case 13´ This would be perfect for my Macbook Pro. I have a generic black sleeve, which is defo due for an update!
2. Marc Jacobs Warp Ikat iPhone 4 case As soon as I get my new iPhone 4S this baby is gonna lend in my shopping cart!
3. ASOS Knitted Dress in Aztec Print LOVE!
4. Low Luv by Erin Wasson Gold Plated Aztec Ring Can I have the whole Erin Wasson collection please?
5. House of Harlow Aztec Bangles with Leather How fun would be to wear all these together r even separately for understated cool?
6. BCB Generation Aztec Clutch I can sure imagine myself going out with this beauty!
7. Senso Diffusion Narcisco Wedges Oh how I can see myself roaming the streets of Barcelona in these! Gypsy Perfection!
8. DVF Rochelle PomPom Embellished Scarf So so pretty! Would keep me warm on fall shoots.
9. Urban Outfitters Aztec Sequin Clutch (on Sale!) Partytime!!!

Photo Props: Chalk Speech Bubble

I truly believe that the key to a great photo session is choosing the right location and having some superb props to have fun with. I've been wanting a chalk speech bubble since forever so I was exstatic when Photojojo sent this one over for me to play with. I can't wait to bring it along for my next photoshoot, but I'm thinking about incorporating it into outfit posts as well! Photojojo is one of the cutest, most fun store on the photo market right now, I would honestly love to own everything they sell! Here are a few of my current favorites:

1. My Chalk Speech Bubble ;)
2. Cute poster, would be perfect in my new room in Barcelona!
3. Fuji 210 Instax Wide Camera - LOVE!!!
4. The Instax Mini Photo album
5. Canon Lens Mugs!
6. iPhone Instant Camera Decal
7. The Dreamy Diana Lens

...these are a few of my favorite things...

1. Printed Boho Maxi Dresses for fall! In the past, skirts and dresses have been exclusively for summer for me, but lately I´ve been playing more and more with incorporating maxi dresses to my fall warderobe. I love to layer them with leather jackets, knits and scarves.

2. Fall Photoshoots are the best!!!! The light is amazing, the temperatures are balmy... simply perfection. I cannot wait to share with you the engagement session I shot with these two in Berlin yesterday for En Route.

3. My new book that I cannot wait to read. I heard so many wonderful reviews!

4. This Equipment Sophie blouse is just a dream! How perfect would it be to shoot weddings in?

5. House of Harlow Arrow Drop Necklace... Swoon!

6. I´m on the market for a new carry on and I think this DVF beauty might just make the cut! ;) I love the olive color and it´s also unbelieveable affordable!

7. House of Harlow Cary sunglasses... Perfection!

8. I´m obsessed with this ASOS Aztec print coat! I have way too many fall coats already but none of them is printed, especially not with such a cool pattern. Temptation, temptation!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone! ;)

Raid my Closet!

With the move nearing in, I've decided to clean out my closet and sell a lot of stuff I treasure, but do not wear too often. It will be hard to say goodbye to these babies, but something's gotta give and as I'll probably only have a small room with a small closet, in Barcelona, I need to find new homes for these babies! There is a lot more I'm selling, so check out my Ebay account if you're interested and Good Luck Bidding! ;)

Fall Wishlist

I guess the title of the post could also be... if I had a million dollars... as this fall is definitely about downsizng my closet rather than upsizing, but hey, a girl can dream, right?

1. I need a chunky black cardigan like this Ralph Lauren one!
2. I´ve been wanting an iPhone since version 1... I hear iPhone 5 is coming out later this year and that might just be the time for me to become an iPhone addict!
3. YSL artsy ring in black and silver... dream dream dream!
4. ACNE Pistol boots... I´m definitely in need of some comfy yet stylish booties for fall!
5. Diego Bucket Bag by Alexander Wang... number one on my (long) bag wish list right now!
6. Canon G12... I need a camera for everyday use... my 5D Mark ii is too big and I´m too scared for it to carry it around everywhere I go. ;)

What´s on your dream wishlist for fall?

Major Score

I had absolutely no intention of spending any money while I was in Hungary working on some fabulous shoots and visiting my family, but when my mom asked me to run some errands with her I politely obliged. She wanted to check out a second hand store where they had an all for ONE EURO sign out and probably because I didn´t expect it... I found the most amazing fall pieces! The good thing about second hand shopping in a small Hungarian town is that ocassionally some major designer pieces pop up, but as noone knows the designer a 350 euro Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress can easily find it´s way to the one euro rack! Yep! No kidding! I´ve also checked out their more "expensive" section where (for 13euros each) I scored a Max Mara wool/angora jacket (retail price around 350 euros) a Massimo Dutti fall jacket (retail price around 130 euros) and a beautiful Morgan jumper (retail price around 100 euros). And that´s my friends what I call a major score! ;) My mom always told me that anyone can buy expensive things (if they have the money of course) but buying expensive things real cheap is the real art of shopping! Couldn't agree more! ;D

NEW IN

Here are a few new items bringing a little spice into my pre-fall warderobe these days:

My new must have shoes for fall, the Heda Wedges! I love the hidden wedge and that it's super comfy and can be worn with anything. You still have a few hours to enter my giveaway to win a pair of your own! ;)

My jewelry box was missing golden cocktail rings and I was more than happy to get some new goodies. The fox ring is from Romwe, the rest is from Pennies/Primark from Dublin.

What a cute beauty bag! It's full of mineral goodies from Allechant Designs. I promise I'll give you a detailed review soon! ;)

I wanted a military green bag for some time now and this Romwe beauty fits the bill perfectly! It's actually pretty big, so there is more than enough place for my daily knicknacs. LOVE!

New In

Lately I've been really (really!) unmotivated to go to the gym, so I needed a little push which arrived in the form of this Breeze Comfort sports bra!  I have several similar tops from different brands, in different shapes, but this padded sports bra is definitely my new favorite! Thanks to its Ventipad technology it's more comfortable than anything I've ever worn in the gym before! I almost don't feel that I have it on, althought it still keeps everything firmly in place! ;) Can't wait to wear it for morning runs on the beach!

New Wet Paint nail glazes for fall. What I like most about them is that you can layer the different shades to achieve different colors and effects. Can't wait to play around with them! (I'm currently sporting the red "Fetish" both on my hands and toes! LOVE!!!) Don't these colors remind you of Twilight? ;)

This Theit beauty is finally mine! Cannot tell you how good it feels to bring my new Bossi bag to photoshoots instead of my ugly man-camera-bag! It fits my camera with a 50mm lens, my flash, an extra lens and my daily things like my wallett, phone, keys...etc in customizable padded compartments.

I confessed my love for Totally Rad products before, but their latest and greatest, RadLab just blows my mind! If you are a Photoshop user and you are looking for a quick way to enhance your pictures, use some awesome effects and actually see what you do before you do it, than Radlab is for YOU! It's supereasy to use, saves me a lot of time and my photos look better than ever! I'm looking forward to share some before and afters on En Route soon!
