Small Haul

Hiya,

I bought a few things, like really just a few but I felt like showing them to you, so I did. First of all, I'm sorry for the horrific lightening, but I couldn't arrange it otherwise. 

I saw this fitness mat online and instantly fell in love with it. It has a pinky- red colour and the typical Nike quote Just Do It written on it. I just love this quote, because it's really as simple as that. Just do it. If you want to get fitter, what's holding you back? Just do it. Anyway I didn't want to buy it myself because I thought 35 € were quite a lot for a mat. But as I gave my older one to my brother (He's feeling the fitness vibe, too, right now.) I needed a new one and my mum bought it for me when she was in the city. It's a bit thin for my tast and not that good to do something like push ups on it but it's alright though, I guess. It can be found here.

The other day I saw these in a sports catalogue and I really liked them. I love Nike sports shoes in general, but they're pretty expensive, for example the Nike Frees. These ones were on sale so I ordered them via telephone, since they weren't available over the online shop anymore. The woman told me that they would arrive in about four weeks but they were there after only a week. I ordered two pairs, in different sizes, which was a good decision, since the ones that I thought would fit, didn't fit at all. I already tested them in the gym twice and they're really got. By the way, I got myself a gym membership two weeks ago and I'm there four times a week at the moment. I'm happy that I made the decision to go there. It's a lot of fun and I feel really, really good when I'm finished and know that I did something for my body. I do a lot of courses and have a work out plan. I'm probably going to blog more about it soon.

So when I went into town today to send back the pair of shoes that didn't fit I stopped by at the shops and grabbed a few things. I picked up the latest edition of the German Glamour. The Glamour is my favourite German magazine, among the InStyle. Anyway I like the British Glamour a lot more and buy it everytime I'm overseas. But as I can't get it here I'm buying the German one everytime I feel like it. Then I needed a heat protection spray, since my hair literally feels horrible everytime I blow dry it and I really needed something to protect it from drying out. After walking through the shop for about fifteen minutes I realised they didn't had the one I wanted and I decided to grab the Heatprotection Styling Spray by Syoss for only 3,95 €. Then I went to look for some hair oil or a conditioner or something like that. I decided to pick up the orange Garnier Fructis one for 3,75 €. Then I strolled through the Make Up area of the shop, desperate to buy something. I picked up a Top Coat nail polish by essence, because I needed one and didn't feel like spending a lot of money, It was 1,95 €. After looking a bit more around through the shelves/ stands the essence eye pencil & shadow pen in blazing black caught my eye. I was actually looking out for eyeliners in that moment but as I am really clumsy with them I decided to go for this one. You can basically use it like an eyeline, to draw on your eyelid like you would normally do with an eyeliner. One of my lovely friends (hi Inga) gave me that idea when we were in London together. It's actually a really good alternative for people like me. Normally I'm not a fan of cheap make up like from essence, but I tested the pen and seems to be really good so far. 

I hope everyone's week is going well!

Hey there lovely people, 

I guess it was time for a haul again, as I went to London a few weeks ago and bought some nice things here, too.

Haul: Mainz

Hey there!
Last Saturday I went on a little shopping spree with my parents to Mainz. It's about an hour drive from where I live and it's a lovely city. It was nice to go somewhere else for shopping since I actually got tired of always shopping in Frankfurt or all those bigger towns around where live. Mainz isn't that big but it has some nice shops and I found a few things. But see it yourself! :)

Since it's getting more wintry I decided to get some sweaters, because who doesn't love cuddly, warm sweaters? I bought it in a bigger size, since it's really short and I wanted it to fit loose, too.

Vila Clothes; Size L; 15,95 € (original price: 26,95 €)

Oh, another sweater. Who would've guessed. I bought it in a bigger size again because it fitted really tight in S and I wanted it to fit loose.

Only; Size M; 19,95 €

I have only worn these babes twice, but they already look so used, oh my god. Thanks to the shitty weather outside. I wanted those kind of boots for ages now and I was very, very happy when I found them. I don't  even know which brand they are and I'm too lazy to get up and look it up. Anyway I bought them in 'Fink Schuhe' if that helps.

European Size 38; 69,95 € (they were on sale, yay!)

Oh god, I'm so in love with this tank top. I first saw it in grey, but then went for the black one, because black's my coulour, haha. I again, bought it in a bigger size because the smaller one fitted weird around the boobs area, I guess it was made for someone with smaller boobs then me, haha. It's longer than a normal top so you can wear it with a pair of leggins or tights.

Vila Clothes; Size M; 24,95 € (original price 34,95 €)

Ok something is officially wrong with the upload thing for my blogposts. This skirt is plain black actually and on the picture it looks like some sort of grey? Ugh. 

I can imagine wearing that skirt while going out clubbing or when I'm in London over New Year's Eve.

Vila Clothes; Size S; 15,95 € (original price 26,95 €)

Same thing with this. Ugh what is going on? Those dark grey leggins actually have a flower print on them.

Only; Size S, 19,95 €

Have a good start in the week tomorrow!

Haul: Florence, Italy.

Hey babes! 

Here are a few things that I bought on my trip to Florence. It isn't much since apparently I'm a very picky person when it comes to shopping with my own money. I didn't spend that much there and still had a lot of money left when I came home, but I already spend it on concert tickets for Bastille, The 1975 and James Arthur so it was good that I had some left, haha. 

I don't even remember which day it was, but on one day we went to some huge supermarket which had a clothes selection on the second floor. Everything was actually quite cheap, but still in a good quality. That's probably the difference between shopping in Italy and Germany. If you buy something cheap in Germany it is for sure shit quality. 

I bought two pairs of Jeans since I really had a lack of jeans in my closet recently. I just tended to buy more like coloured pants in the past months so I really needed some basics again. The darker jeans had kind of a look like those boyfriend jeans but it fits really tight. You can't see it on the photo but it has a used look and is kind of ripped in the knee area.

The other one is just a basic light jeans. I don't tend to go for jeans that are that light, but it fits really well and looks good, so I bought it.

Well, that's my new baby. I was looking for a bag when we were in downtown Florence and it took ages for me to find one. I actually wanted a real leather bag which was kind of a bigger size, so I could fit a lot of stuff in. We basically were in every possible shop, well apparently if you believe my Italian cousin, and just when I was giving up and we where in the last shop I found this baby. It looks a lot better in reality than it looks on the photo, just saying.

I actually was looking for a different BB cream by L'Oréal Paris but they didn't have it in my skin coulour so I went for the Maybelline one. I'm pretty fine with it and now use it daily. It makes the skin look a lot 'cleaner' and covers up little spots and it doesn't make you look like you're wearing tons of Make Up so that's good.

I needed more lip glosses for my collection since it is really small. I found this gorgeous colour in the same shop as the BB cream. We sadly don't have Rimmel London in Germany anymore, I don't even know why. So whenever I'm in a country that sells it I go for Rimmel products since they're really good and not really expensive.

Then I needed a new powder since I tend to let my powders fall down on the floor pretty often. All of my others were broken, thanks to my clumsiness. I really like this one, it has a little mirror in the box which is really useful to be honest. 

I hope you guys liked this mini haul, it was my first one so I hope it's not too bad. :)
