Can you believe it’s already Monday again? Because I can’t. It’s seriously more than crazy how the time is just zooming by. Just wait. I’ll blink once and then it will be September and I’ll be on my flight to Brighton. Holy moly. But let’s not freak out just yet and focus on the here and now, shall we? So, how are you guys? I hope you’re all having a great start of the week. And I hope what’s coming next maybe makes it even better.
.
So, a few weeks ago my parents and I drove to Salzburg for my cousins wedding. First I have to say that the wedding was so damn beautiful that it’s hard for me to find any words. But what gave the whole ceremony that one special cherry on top was the location. We celebrated in the middle of a valley, surrounded by the phenomenal mountains and the breathtaking nature. I loved it so so so much. And as I of course had taken my camera with me, I took my chance and went hiking for a bit to take some pictures. And oh wow, was that cool. I tried to really capture the vibes that I got, the slightly icy, cool feeling I had and the imposing greatness of the mountains. And I actually wanted to try something different to my otherwise very colorful, vibrant style. So yeah, without further ado, I present you my selection of the best pics I took during the wedding-weekend. What I probably like the most about them is that the actual intensity of the surrounding mountains can be seen on the pics, especially with the ones where both my parents and Molly are walking at the bottom of the photos with the big mountains right behind them. Like, honestly, I really like the pics. And I even more hope that you do too. As always, please don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts down below and I wish you a great week. And, of course, thanks for reading. x
And welcome back to the beloved New Music series. I seriously can’t believe that it’s already been so long since I last posted one of these and let me tell you, it’s well overdue. So, let’s dive right into it, shall we? Please enjoy.

Twenty One Pilots – Jumpsuit
I know, I know, I just posted a whole damn post about their new comeback and their two new songs (click me), but what did you expect? Of course I had to include Jumpsuit in this list, it’s a freaking banger. I’ve basically been living on this song and it never gets too much. Never. Oh, and just to mention it, guess who actually managed to get a ticket for their show in London next March…? Yes, meeeee. Guys, you seriously have no idea how happy I am right now because of that. I can’t wait to hear Jumpsuit live and experience that. Wow.
.
The Hunna – Give Yourself A Try (The 1975 cover)
Well, you guys know that I love both of these bands with all of my heart, but they really couldn’t be any more different. Still, The Hunna chose to cover the new song by The 1975, which, by the way, I can’t stand at all. I don’t really know how to explain it, I just don’t like it. But then I listened to this version and at first I even forgot that this was a The 1975 original. And now guess who completely fell for the song. There you go. Just get me a different band, turn it into a punky-rock song with a great guitar riff in the background and I’m sold. Props to them, seriously.
.
The 1975 – Love It If We Made It
And speaking of these boys, here they are, releasing a new song just in time for another New Music post. And not to be dramatic, but it’s like they heard all my prayers and then created this. I mean, I feel like I’m back in 2013/2014 and driving home at night while listening to Chocolate and Robbers. This seriously gives me strong old The 1975 vibes and I’m totally here for it.
.
Leyya – Wannabe
Some of you may know this band, some of you may not. But listen, this is a band from Austria, like, my home country, and they’re seriously slaying the game. I mean, I usually don’t even like female voices in songs (it has nothing at all to do with gender, I just prefer deeper voices) – besides Hayley/Paramore of course – but I can’t get enough of this band and their music. I think what fascinates me the most are their sick beats. See, that’s where my love for EDM shows. Anyways, amazing band, amazing song. Go listen to it.
.
Enter Shikari – Live Outside
This isn’t exactly a new song, I know, but it’s pretty new to me and I’m just really in love with it at the moment, so I had to put it on this list, of course. Actually, I got to know this song while working at the Nova Rock festival. I went over to check out the band, as their name seemed familiar to me, and I got there right before the end. And then they played this song and I just enjoyed it so much. And it’s been haunting me forever, so I looked for it and here we are. It really is such a fun song and I really enjoy listening to it and I hope you do too.
.
Panic! At The Disco – One Of The Drunks
Another thing that happened while I was gone on my break – Panic released a new album. I actually had planned to write an entire post about the new album, but I just can’t get myself to be excited enough about it. I mean, it’s great, of course it is. It features Brendon’s voice, it’s far more than just great. But personally I just don’t like it as much as I wish I did. And that’s kinda sad. But of course the album also has its bangers, which this one right here is in its clearest form. The beat of this song is just so captivating and I adore how funky it is. Such a bop.
I’m not going to explain to you why this song is right here, because it simply deserves to be on this list. I mean, I love Marty with all of my heart – who I’ll coincidentally be seeing again next Saturday and I. Can’t. Wait. – and his new song with Khalid is extremely good and has such a cool vibe to it. But this remix right here just got released today and it’s actually the version he’s now playing at his live shows and holy moly, it’s just so damn good. I can already see myself dancing and freaking out to this next week.
.
So yeah, there you go guys. Those are some the songs I’ve been loving the most in the past weeks. They all are breathtakingly good on their own and I just love it so much that I get to share all of this with you and that music makes me feel the way it does. Talk about being a lucky girl.
.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy these songs just as much as I do. As always, please don’t hesitate to leave your comments and thoughts down below. I’m more than curious to see whether you actually like these songs or not. And, of course, I wish you all an amazing weekend and thanks for reading. x
As promised in my last post (click me), I’ve got quite a pack of topics and things I want to talk to you guys about and tell you. And today I have the very special honour of presenting you the pictures of a very special photoshoot I recently did.
.
So, first of all, here’s a little background info. So a few weeks ago I was scrolling through Asos, looking for a nice dress to wear to my cousin’s weeding. Just to mention, that’s pretty much one of the biggest reasons why I love weddings so much – I get to buy and wear dresses I would never be able to otherwise. And then I found this totally dreamy, baby-blue, fairy-like dress and I just had to get it. Of course I fell completely head over heels in love with it the second I put it on. The color is so damn beautiful, just like the lace details and pretty much everything else. It’s just so so divine.
.
And here comes the super sad part of my story – cue the sad music. As perfect as this dress was and still is, the only thing that stopped me from buying it and living in it for the rest of my life was the prize. I mean, I would’ve probably spent the about 140 €, if I had the confidence that I would be able to wear it another couple of times. But spending so much money just to wear it for one night seemed a bit too much for me – even if it nearly broke my heart to send it back.
.
But if you guys know me, you know that I always try to make the best of every situation, so I decided to grab my camera and have a little photoshoot with the dress. I of course looked after and guarded it like the ball of my eye, so that someone after me would get to enjoy the dress even more. And I have to say, it was actually one of the nicest and coolest photoshoots I’ve ever done. Like I said, I did it all by myself and just used my tripod to get the right angles. And it worked out so perfectly. God, I’m so love with the pictures, no joke. I felt like a princess wearing this dress and even better when I got to see the outcome. Oh and before I present you the best pics, here’s the link to the dress if you fall in love with it, just like I did – click me.
.
And yeah, that’s the story of how I changed into a princess for a short amount of time to have this little photoshoot that I now get to show you. I hope you enjoy the pictures just as much as I do. I actually tried to change it up a bit, play with colours and concepts and so on. So, this right here works as what I would see as a mood board. Please enjoy.
.
.
As always guys, thank you so much for reading and I hope you’re all doing good and I wish you an amazing start of this new week. x
And welcome back to my blog. I’m officially and finally back from my study/exam break and I seriously can’t even describe how much I’ve missed posting stuff on here and talking to you guys. I mean, I have, like, such a long list of topics for different blogposts, that I don’t even know where to start. And even just writing this right now fills me with so much joy. God, what would I do without this blog? I seriously have no idea.
.
I’m beyond sorry that it took me so long to get back again, but I just started my summer break, which basically means that I began working this Monday and I just had to get used to that – for example to having to wake up at 7 am every single freaking morning. I still haven’t fully found my perfect rhythm, but I’m hoping to accomplish that within the next few days, so I can actually start writing my bachelor thesis and my last few projects for uni.
.
But I have to say, I’m really really happy to be back home again. I’m currently sitting in bed and Peaches is lying next to me and seriously guys, whatever I’m feeling right now, I know it’s pure, unconditional love. This cat is the love of my life. No joke. And I can’t wait to spend the upcoming months with her. And the rest of my family and friends too, of course.
.
I actually just wanted to use this post as some kind of update and welcome. But I know that you’re all curious about what happened during my break, so here’s a little sneak peek. So, first of all, all my exams went down pretty good and if I’m not mistaken, I think I’ve passed every single one of them. Which means that I just have to finish my thesis now and then I’m officially graduating from uni, which is the craziest thing ever. It’s so weird to actually finish something you’ve been working your butt off for years. I mean, all I could think about in secondary school was uni. And now I’m already graduating. That’s so unbelievable. I mean, I’m not finished finished, you guys know about me moving to the UK to continue studying, but I’m leaving Vienna and basically my home country and that’s crazy enough, trust me. And if we’re already talking about moving to the UK – guys, I’ve finally found a place to live in. And holy moly, I actually can’t believe that I seriously managed to find myself such a great place and such an amazing family. I’ll be sharing the house with a couple and gosh, they are so cool. I mean, they’re basically me, just with a few more years of life experience. I couldn’t be happier, really. And the house is located just two minutes from the sea and the beach, which is like pretty much the most amazing aspect of the house. I mean, I’ll be basically spending the upcoming year at the beach, I can already tell you that. God, I’m so excited, this is going to be so so awesome.
.
And last but not least, as I already mentioned in my latest posts, I need to tell you all about my time at the festival that I got to work at. It was so freaking amazing. Oh my god. I can’t even describe it. It was one of those moments and experiences in life that basically change everything. Like when you first try Nutella. That changes you. And that’s what this week at the festival did to me. I seriously can’t wait to spend the rest of my life in that environment. I just love it so much, with all my heart. But before I’m starting to give away too much, I’ll just stop right here and keep the rest for the extra post in which I’m going to tell you all about my time there, from the beginning to the very end.
.
So yeah guys, there you go. Those are basically the most important things that happened during the time I’ve been away. Apart from that there are quite some new albums and songs waiting to be discussed about and I did a little photoshoot with what could be the dreamiest dress ever and I have so many new tv shows I want to tell you guys about, so please stay tuned for more. Like I said, I’m officially back again and yeah, I’d say let’s bring this blog back to life, shall we?
.
Anyways, I hope you guys are doing great and enjoying the summer. And, as always, I hope you enjoyed this little post and I wish you an amazing weekend. And, of course, thanks for reading. x
Today I have to deliver kind of bad news. Like you could already see by the title of this post, I’m going to take a break from blogging for the next few weeks until uni is finally over. I mean, it’s not really a break, as I’ve got more things to do than ever. I’m working at this festival the whole next week and apart from that I have to study and take my last exams of my journalism studies. So yeah, I’m basically at the end-spurt of everything and I just really have to concentrate on finishing uni in the best way possible. I’m really really sorry for my upcoming lack of posts, but I hope you guys understand. I’ve also already got some very exciting posts planned for when I’m back, so please stay tuned. And until then I wish you all an amazing time and hope you have a great weekend. And, as always, thanks for reading. See you in July. x
Happy Monday to you all. I hope you’re doing good and that this new week started off in a good way. And if it didn’t, maybe this little post can bring some joy to this day. To be honest, the past few days have been a bit weird – at least when it comes to the weather. It has been raining pretty much every day and the funny thing is, if it doesn’t rain, the sun is literally trying to burn us all to death. I feel like I’m in England, with this crazy weather (HA, I wish).
.
So, yesterday, in one these super hot gaps between total rain showers, I had to just take the chance and grabbed my camera to explore our now really summery garden once more. And this time it was quite the experience. Thankfully it didn’t start to rain right after I stuck my toe out of the door. But I did try to change it all up a bit. I played with the different light settings and angles, crawled around the ground to get the perfect perspective and almost crashed into a small field full of daisies just to get as close as possible. And I really have to say, I had so much fun doing that (not the crashing part, of course). I loved playing with the extremes, the colors, the lights, the zoom, literally everything. That’s exactly why I love photography so much.
.
And without further do, I now have the honor to present you the outcome of my little session. I really hope you enjoy the pics and I am already looking forward to hearing your reviews, so please don’t hesitate to leave your comments down below. And yeah, until then I wish you all a great week and, as always, thanks for reading. x
