Taking pictures with my iPhone

Hola everyone.

I’m not quite sure whether I’m saying this too early or not, but it really seems like Summer is literally just around the corner. Which means the weather gets warmer, people start crawling out of their dark caves into the light and the nature all around us is finally coming back to life. And that actually has to be my most favorite part of Spring/early Summer season – all these different pops of color in the landscape.

.

That also means I’ve spent the past few weeks walking around in Vienna and at home, admiring all this beauty of the nature. Which also gave me a good reason to start photographing  again. But this time I thought I’d give the whole photography part a new twist and take the pictures with my iPhone camera instead of my professional one. You guys know that I usually use my Sony Alpha 6000 to take my pictures, but I thought I’d give the phone a chance to prove itself. And holy moly, I wasn’t let down.

.

Just so you guys know, I took all of these pictures with my iPhone 6S. And I don’t even know what to say, because these pictures are bloody amazing. Before this phone, I owned a Samsung Galaxy S5 (I think) and I never really enjoyed taking pictures with it, but the iPhone totally changed my mind. I love these pictures so so much. I mean, of course they aren’t as good as the pictures I take with my Sony, but holy moly, for a phone these look absolutely fantastic. So, props to the makers, really.

.

I actually wanted to make this post to show you guys that sometimes a phone can really be a good choice and substitute if you want to take nice pictures but don’t have a professional camera. I’m seriously so happy with how these pictures turned out and I hope you enjoy them too. As always, please don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts and comments down below. Oh and I hope you’re doing well and wish you an awesome weekend. And, of course, thanks for reading. x

New Music Friday

Hola everyone.

And we’re back with a new “New Music Friday“. I hope you’re all doing good and had an awesome week. Just a little update from my side: this week has been pretty amazing and god, guys, the sun is finally out and it’s just so nice. Walking around in Vienna at night has been my favorite thing to do lately, it’s so warm. I’m also already looking forward to the weekend and I hope you are too and that this little selection of songs can contribute to your weekend playlist. Please enjoy.

Thought I Told You – The Academic

If you’ve been following some of my latest posts, then you know that this is the band I just saw live last week (here’s the post). And I mean, I loved their music before, but since then I’ve learned to really appreciate the fact that I got to see them live. They’re really awesome.

.

Standing On Ghosts – Two Door Cinema Club

Well, well, well. Who would’ve known that TDCC was hiding such a bop from me all these years. You guys know my relationship with this band and I just adore their music, especially their older songs, and this is one of those. They just recently released it again to celebrate the anniversary of their very first album. And thank god they did, because this here is freaking amazing.

.

.

Moving On – Sarah and the Sundays

This is one of the songs, that Spotify recommended to me and I just adore it. I mean, it perfectly fits this time of the year, when everything starts to bloom and become alive again. The perfect song to listen to while lying in the sun, maybe reading a good book or chatting with a friend.

.

.

Fresh Air – FLOWVERS

The same goes for this sun. Such a fantastic spring/sommer song. I don’t know how the algorithms of Spotify work, but hell, whatever they are doing, they are doing it bloody well. They give me exactly what I need.

.

.

Sad Boys / All I Wanna Do – TRASH

This here is one of those bands where I love listening to their music but never really go into my fangirl mode. But that doesn’t change the fact that their music is freaking amazing. And again, thanks to Spotify for recommending this and pretty much all their other songs to me, I owe you one.

.

Ride Or Die – The Knocks ft. Foster The People

Guys, if you want to listen to the spring/summer song of the moment, then you just reached the right place. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty convinced that it’s this one. I’ve seriously heard this song in pretty much every single store I’ve been to the past week. It’s literally everywhere. And the thing is, it’s actually so awesome. I mean, I love Foster The People and their sound is perfect for this song. It just fits.

Cos Love (If You Miss It) – Tom Rosenthal

I’m sorry guys, but it wouldn’t be a music playlist without Tom being a part of it. I just love his music so much. Tom, can you please go on tour, like, right now? Or at least when I’ve moved to the UK? Please. He’s literally my number one on my list of musicians I want to see live. I need to hear this song live. I need to hear all of his songs live. According to him, this song right here is the best song he’s ever written and I mean, I can’t deny that. It’s just so cute and romantic and sad. I love it.

.

.

So yeah guys, there you go. Those are the songs I’ve been loving the past days and weeks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Oh and please don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts down below. And, as always, I wish you all an amazing weekend and thanks for reading. x

 

Welcome Spring

Hola everyone.

Spring is cooooming. FINALLY. And as you can probably guess by now, I thought why not dedicate a post to this beautiful season. So I literally just stepped out into our garden at home and started taking pictures. It was amazing. To see how all the nature around me starts to become alive again and all the bees and other animals come out again and it just makes everything so much nicer when the whole world is so colorful and full of life.

.

Of course, Peaches and Molly assisted me with the whole photography process, especially Peaches, who followed me literally everywhere (I love her so much for that). So yeah, I hope you like the pictures and are as happy as me about the fact that spring is finally here. If any of you want to talk, I’m here, and until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

Milan

Hola everyone.

As you probably know from my birthday post my parents and me were in Milan for the past days and god, it was amazing. Seriously.

.

First of all you need to know that I’m completely obsessed with fashion. I love reading fashion and lifestyle magazines, look for the newest trends on the internet and always check out my favorite shops for some new styles. And Milan is THE fashion metropolis of Italy. And also one of the most important fashion metropolis of the world and that’s something you notice the moment you step out of the door, for real. I’ve never been to a city where both men and women are that well dressed and care that much about their looks, never. It’s crazy. I was both shocked and completely in love from the first second on.

.

There are hundreds of fashion shops around every corner, so there’s really never a way to get away from fashion. The kiosks are full of fashion magazines and have “VOGUE” printed on their tops and let’s not forget that the book shops have an extra department just for fashion. I felt like I just stepped into my dream fashion land.

.

Oh and onto that, my birthday was amazing too. We went shopping, spent some time in a beautiful park in the sun, I had my first ice-cream of this year and of course we had an amazing Italian dinner (Italian food is the best, seriously). It was really a dream day. And  I’m pretty sure my parents enjoyed it as much as I did.

.

And of course I took pictures. A lot, to be exact. So, here you go, enjoy. And as ways, thanks for reading and I any of you want to talk, I’m here. x
