Ever since I cut my hair I feel cooler and hipper than ever! ;) I am a big hair product junkie and it always takes a lot of self control not to buy up everything my hair stylist recommends... here are a few of the products on my hair wish list right now! ;)

1. Ghd Straighteners Cheap - I have a trusty old hair straightener but this special boho chic edition ghd straightener does make my heart skip a beat and makes me think about upgrading ;)

2. Moroccan Oil Light Treatment for blonde and fine hair - this product has been on my wishlist since forever but unfortunately it´s not that easy to get my hands on it in Europe

3. Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray - Now that I live close to the beach it´s time to get those beachy waves, don´t you think? ;)

4. TIGI Bed Head Dumb Blonde Collection - I used this shampoo + conditioner once but I can still remember the amazing smell and smoothness it gave to my hair! Must get it soon!

5. AVEDA Pure Abundance Hair Potion - At my last salon visit my hairstylist applied this powder to my roots and I had bouncy volminous hair for days! Miracle product!

What is your favorite hair product?

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!!!

Have a woderful Sunday lovelies! ;)

...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!

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!

It's been a while since my last favorites post due to all the traveling, but I do have a few things I've been obsessed with this week that I definitely wanted to show you! 

1. The EnRoute logo! I've been playing in Photoshop and I came up with this logo which, to be honest I really like, but I'd love to have your honest feedback as well! I think it's simple, fashion forward yet timeless and clearly travel related with the passport stamp, which I'm planning to incorporate in all my branding materials moving forward. What do you think? I'd also love for you to like my new EN ROUTE fanpage on Facebook where I'll be sharing my new shoots, sneak peeks and inspirations from now on! Like? :D

2. I'm obsessed with this Asian iCandy embroidered messenger bag. I think it will find it's way to my closet pretty soon! ;)

3. I've been looking for the perfect, affordable black leather biker jacket for a long time and I think I've found it! Cannot wait to try it on in Zara this week!

4. I saved my pennies and purschased the Jasmine Star Wedding Photography Workshop from Creative Live (which is pretty much how I spent my last 5 days) and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting to try to establish a wedding photography business! Best $150 I've ever spent!

5. Somehow my blogroll has transformed from all fashion blogs to mostly photography and wedding blogs in the last few weeks and one of my new favorite daily reads is Kat's Rock n' Roll Bride. A truly unique wedding inspirational website that I know you'll love too! ;)

I hope your Sunday is much sunnier than mine, don't forget to enter the Blowfish shoes giveaway if you haven't already! You still have a few hours left! ;) Happy Sunday!

This has been one of those really short weeks when I cannot even recall what I've done the whole week. I've decided to get more organised and first thing on my to do list for Monday morning is to write an actual to do list and plan my week ahead. I hope it will help me get more done! ;) Here are a few things I've been drooling over this week:

1. New Books: 

• Luxe City Guides to Istanbul and Barcelona
• Water for Elephants
• The Artist's Way
• Making the Cut

2. Healthier Food Choices and lots of gym time! ;)

3. THIS beautiful dress. So so pretty!

4. Blogger of the week: Helena from Brooklyn Blonde. I fell in love with her immaculate style and great pictures.

5. How cute exactly are these friendship bracelets?  

6. Adoring the new Alice+Olivia shoe collection and especially this pair

7. I'm having a chunky earring phase again. These would be perfect to complete my spring jewelry box. 

8. Another adorable dress I'm coveting

9. Mara Hoffman bikinis!!! I DIE!

10. Mad 70's Coachella Fashion. It will have to earn a special post next week! (image via Because I'm Addicted) Oh how I'd love to be there right now! :)

I'm happy. Happy like I haven't been in a long time. I do what I love, I'm free, I have a fantastic man by my side, I have some wonderful travels booked for the next few months, spring is in the air and soon I can tuck away my heavy coats and replace them with flowy dresses and flower prints. Life is good! :) Here are some of the little things that made me smile this week.

1. Jessica Simpson Dany Platform Shoes - They are finally mine!!!! I know, I know all you US girls have it already in all possible colors but the thing is, it's really hard to get it in Europe. I had some extreme bad luck with shoe orders recently so I've ordered it in two different sizes to make sure that one of them will fit me right. The second, brand new pair is up for grabs on Ebay! CLICK HERE if you're interested (US size 7, UK size 4.5, EUR 37.5)

2.  I love to decorate my flat with fresh tulips! They just make me smile. (image credit)

3. I want this outfit from head to toe (sorry, no credit, it was an impulse download)

4 & 5. Have you seen the new arrivals at Spool No. 72? I'm dying over their Moonshine Blouse and Strawberry Blossom Bag

6. I've been looking for a silver/turquoise rectangular ring like this one for some time now! (and it's now 42% off at MyJewelryBox!!!)

7. Blogger of the Week: Nicolette from Simply Colette. This girl is my true soulmate! I'm not kidding, she quit her corporate job in finance basically the same month as I did to take a chance on life and follow her passion in travel and photography! I wish you the best of luck girl and I know you'll make it! Check out her adventures of becoming her own boss and starting up her own lil business while traveling the world!

8. I want to have a Chalkboard Speech Bubble! It would make a fun photoshoot prop.

9. RIP Elizabeth Taylor! She was wonderful and a true diva. The world has lost a great icon. I'm swooning over this print of her. (via MadebyGirl)

10. You now how I'm crazy for everything with a map on it (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, Exhibit D, Exhibit E....) and this world map print skirt is no exception! :) (via Zollyarts)

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

I honestly have no idea where did this week fly! Between Photoshop classes and extensive gym time, I've been working on a new blog design and post layouts. I've never thought that html could be so much fun! :) Spring is in the air and my shopping fever has (unfortunately) resurfaced! Here are a few of the  things that made  me excited this week.  (Just click on the images  to be redirected to the source) Have a wonderful Sunday blogfriends! Thanks for your nice comments. You are awesome and I'm fortunate to be part of such a great community! :) Enjoy every bit of sunshine  you can get today!

This has been such a strange, eventful and philosophical week for me. I don't want to go too much into details but in the end I decided not to attend any photography schools and try to make it on my own. :) I'll take some private Photoshop classes and look for a photographer to assist and learn from. I know it is the harder way, but all things put together I am now convinced that this is the better way for me! If you know of any photographers in Berlin looking for an assistant drop me a line and I'll be thankful forever! :D 

On another note, I cannot believe it's March already! I'm so happy and excited to be able to introduce you to my lovely new sponsors! Please show them some love and discover their ubercool blogs and shops by clicking on their logos in the sidebar!

... and as traditionally on Sundays, here are a few lovely things that elevated my pulse with excitement this week:

1. Orange Outfits

Les Mads, All the Pretty Birds, AfterDRK, Lookbook

2. Atlas Pillows

 via My Bearded Pigeon

3. Dandelion Wall Art Trio

 I'm crazy for dandelions and these wall arts would look perfect on my office wall! :)

4. Fake Lips and Mustaches

via Happiness is...

These might look tacky at first but I can only imagine the fun I'd have with them on some photoshoots!

5. Ti Amo

Have I ever told you that AC is Italian? Well, there you go, now you know it! :) This intricate Ti Amo necklace just takes my breath away and puts the biggest smile on my face!

6. The perfect summer dress

I've found THE perfect summer dress! I just have the hardest time deciding which color to get. What do you think blue or green (I secretly hope you'll say both :D)?

7.  Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Spinach Salad

This delicious looking salad has been on my mind ever since I saw it. Spinach and goat cheese are two of my absolute favorite foods, yet I don't think I ever tried combining them!

8. Blogger of the Week

Liesl is one of those girls that you feel like you're best friends with the moment you start reading her blog. She is the kindest, cutest girl and if she looks familiar it is because she is!!! This girl is going to places and her beautiful face has already appeared on TV shows like Sex and The City or Mad Men! For real! :D I'm so proud of her!

9.  A little cuteness...
