My favorite trends right now

Holy everyone.

Today I want to talk about – you guessed it – fashion. What a surprise.

But for real, you know that I love fashion. It’s one of my favorite topics to talk about and it’s part of my life every single day. Personally, I love surfing through online shops and social media, just to see what the latest trends are. And that brings us to my list I want to present to you. My list of my favorite trends right now (or of this year). Enjoy.

.

  • Off-shoulder tops and dresses
    • I literally love it. I’ve always been a fan of free shoulders and let’s be honest, it makes you look great. It’s summery, comfy and superstylish.

 

  • Boyfriend or mum jeans
    • To be honest, who doesn’t have one of these at home? They look so damn cool and they are so damn comfy. It’s incredible. And I could wear them every day.

 

  • Anything that’s boho and clothes you wear and immeditaley think “I could totally wear that at a festival”
    • I looooove festival looks. Forever 21 has one part of the store dedicated to this kind of clothes. And I just admire it. They make you look like cool fairys and there’s nothing you could wear that gives you more of a festival vibe than such clothes.

 

  • Patched jeans and denim jackets
    • They are the same as boyfriend jeans. But with patches on. The same with denim jackets. To be honest, Zoella introduced me to that style, but until now I unfortunately haven’t found a great looking pair for me, but there’s still hope left.

 

  • Long summer dresses
    • They are like the festival vibe clothes. Nothing suits summer more than long dresses. Especially with flowers on, maybe with cuts at the shoulders. All of that. I love it.

 

  • Hats
    • I love hats. I have my own special one I bought in Camden in London, so it means pretty much to me. And actually, I just wore it today. So that’s a total yes from me.

 

  • Any flowy and cute crop tops (basically every crop top at Forever 21)
    • Let’s be honest. Crop tops are magic. Any kind of crop tops. Turtle necks, off-shoudler, riped ones, just literally ever crop top. I can’t get enough of them. And if you’re looking for some, any Forever 21 store is the right place for you.

 

  • Lace crop tops aka bralettes
    • I love bralettes, especially the ones with lace. But unfortunately I don’t like the nip thing going on, so I’m still on the hunt for bralettes that are a little bit padded. So, if any of you have an idea where I could get those, please help your girl out and hit me up. Thaaaaanks.

 

  • Round (sun)glasses
    • Have you seen the new Ray Ban sunglasses? And the new glasses Pewdiepie is wearing? What do they have in common? Exactly, they are round. And they slay. Any type of round glasses look like bomb. Full stop.

 

  • Dungarees
    • Oh my god, I love dungarees. Actually, they are something I wore when I was little and now I’m wearing them again. And I love it. Who would have thought that?

 

  • Band shirts
    • That’s pretty much the best trend for me. Because I collect band shirts. I buy a shirt at nearly every single concert I’m attending. From TØP to Ed Sheeran, I’ve got them all. So in about 20 years, when my children are in the right age, I’ll give them my shirts and they will be the coolest kids around, because they are wearing real, vintage band merch.

.
Soooo, that’s my list. I know, I probably forgot like 5, but I think it should be alright. If any of you want to chat, about fashion or anything else. Ooooor if any of you know a good place for shopping sprees, I’m here and waiting patiently. And until then, as always, I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading. x

Conor and me

Hola everyone.

This one is special. Really special. I know I already talked about him, but this is the post he always deserved and always will. This my story with a guy called Conor Maynard aka a guy I’ve only met once and loved before and since.

.

I think you all know who Conor is, at least I hope so. Because if you don’t, what the hell are you doing with your life? I kind of crashed into Conor about 4 years ago while I was on holiday in Cyprus with my parents. We stayed in a small house and I passed some time by watching TV. They had MTV and I loved it. I remember that was the time when Conor won the MTV award for best new artist and in every break, there was a small spot with him and his song Can’t Say No. And god, was I annoyed. But do you know what happens when you get to hear a song like 20 times a day for about 8 days? Exactly. First you get used to it, then you remember the words, then you hum it and finally you sing it loudly and dance to it. That’s what happened to me. I fell for the song.

.

And when I got home, I kind of kept him in my heart. At that time, I had a huge heartbreak and I just needed something to make me happy. So one night I was sitting in front of my laptop, surfing through YouTube when I got to his site. He had those series of funny little videos which he called “The Conorcles”. Actually they were just little vlogs, but sooooo damn much better. To be honest, Conor is one of the funniest guys ever. He has this totally amazing humor which makes it possible for him to laugh about himself. And honestly, he’s also just really really crazy.

.

I remember sitting in my room, watching, like, every single video and I laughed so loud that my mum came into my room to ask me what was so funny. Little did I know that I was laughing about a guy that would still be a part of my life 4 years later.

.

After I found out that Conor was a guy who had the same sense of humor as me, was just as weird and crazy as me and was also intensely cute, I started listening to his songs more and more. And oh my god, he has the voice of an angle, I swear. Next to Ed Sheeran, he literally has the most beautiful voice on this planet. Seriously. I don’t even know how so much talent can be stuck in one single person. But as we can see, it is possible. And I fell for him. Oh how did I fall. Actually, Conor and his music and videos really helped me with my heartbreak, so I really want to thank him for that (thanks Conor). And then it just escalated. I told literally everyone about him. Showed his videos to my friends. Listened to his songs 24/7. Tweeted about him. And finally I called myself a Mayniac, which I still do, of course.

.

And then June came. I remember it like it was yesterday. My mum and me had planned our second trip to New York. It should last for a week, starting at the 9th of June. It was April when I found out. I had just gotten home from school, when I checked my phone. I have this cool app called Bands In Town, that shows you every concerts in any city you want. And I had set it to show me all concerts in New York, because I really wanted to go to a concert there. And I had followed Conor there, so that meant whenever he had a concert in the city I had selected, I would get a notification.

.

I think it was about 2 pm when I got the notification. I looked at my phone and there it was. It said that Conor had just announced a concert in New York. On the 9th of June. The day we would get there. You can’t even imagine how much I freaked out. I started to cry immediately. I couldn’t believe it. It was close to being so crazy that it just couldn’t be true. I mean, how high are the chances that Conor would have a concert in New York exactly in the week when I would be there? I know, impossibly low. But it was true. I checked it like 100 times. And then I called my mum, half crying, half breathing like I just had had an attack. I remember that mum wasn’t so happy at first. Because it would be really stressful, because there wouldn’t be a lot of time to get to the hotel and to the venue. At the end it was incredibly stressful. But at the time we got into the taxi to the venue, all the stress and pressure got washed away. I think I already cried back then.

.

When we got there, we already saw a few people queuing up in line. I had actually bought Meet and Greet tickets, which was just the cherry on top of the huge ice cream bowl of craziness. The M&G thing also meant that I wouldn’t just be meeting Conor, but that I was also able to get into the venue before anyone else. But as you know me, I was too shy to go around the queue. But my mum isn’t shy. And wasn’t. So she literally just took my hand and walked right onto the street with me, passing every single person and getting right to the entrance. It was sooooo crazy, I couldn’t believe it. And then it all went down really quick. I ran into the venue, got my place in the second row and the two support acts came, sang and left.

.

And then the moment came. Conor finally got onto the incredibly small stage – the concert was for like 500 people, maximum – and sang and danced his heart out. And so did I. I laughed, cried, danced, smiled, admired him, screamed, cheered and literally had the time of my life. And he was sooooo damn good, oh my god. I loved every single second of it and wished for it to never end. But unfortunately it had to end, but then the M&G part came and I got so damn nervous, you can’t even imagine.

..

Actually, I had prepared a little gift for Conor – I had written a letter and had bought him a cool bracelet which fitted the other ones he always wore and still does to this day (they are friendship bracelets). I remember that he smiled at me when I gave it to him and that he said “Oh I’m going to cry”, which is something I love so much. And my mum took pics, so this moment is literally captured on my phone. And oh my god. I remember when we took a pic together, he put his hand on my hip and I just put it on his back but my hand was half on his denim jacket and half on his shirt, which was kinda awkward, so I just slipped my hand completely under his jacket. I still laugh about it to this day. I think it’s so funny, I don’t even know why, it just is. Then I thanked him and got out of the concert area and sat down on a bench. I was shaking so much and my heart was beating like crazy. I think I sat there for like 10 minutes until my mum asked me to go and I was so not ready. Because I knew that Conor was like 2 meters away from me. I didn’t want to leave him. Thank god there was a small window in the door, so before we finally got out, I looked through it and took on last glance at him and said goodbye for the last time.

.

So that’s how I met Conor. It was like one of the best moments in my whole life and I’m so happy that I could be a part of this small, intimidate show. It was really special.

.

A few months later, Conor announced that he’d be publishing his own book and that he wanted to put a few pics with his fans into it. So he started a contest in which you just had to post your pic with him on a website and they’d chose the pics randomly. I bet you can already guess what I did. Of course I posted it a lot of times, because I really wanted to be in this book. Or at least have him see it. And of course I also preordered the book, no matter if I was in it or not.

.

I was in class when my mum sent me the picture. I can still see me staring at the phone, eyes wide open, with my teacher getting right into class. I was so excited, I threw my phone on the table. I was shaking like crazy. On the picture my mum had sent me was the pic of me and Conor. In his book. Right on the first page. I thought she was joking. I couldn’t believe that this was real and to be honest, I still can’t believe it. It’s just too crazy. And of course I showed it to everyone. Because like, this is REALLY special. Like really really special. I’m in Conors book (oh wow, I still haven’t realized it).

.

So far, there had been two really special things that happened with Conor – the concert and his book. And then my 18th birthday happened. I remember tweeting him that it was my birthday and that I’d literally go crazy if he tweeted me. But when I went to bed there still hadn’t happened anything. But it was okay for me. Because I mean, he’s Conor. The next day my class and I went to a trip to Madrid and my friend picked me up to drive to school. And when I turned on my phone, I got a notification from Twitter. It said that Conor Maynard followed me (!!!). And I was like “yes of course, suuuure”. Because I thought it was some fake account. So I just clicked the link to see who the fake guy was. And then I saw the blue verification sign next to his name. And I went crazy. Conor had followed me. He was following me. I couldn’t believe it. To this day I think that this was his special birthday present for me. And I couldn’t be more thankful for everything he did and does.

.

I still remember texting my mum that Conor followed me and her replying with “what does he want from you???” and I grinned like an idiot. I was sooooo freaking happy, oh my god. Actually, I still am, because – thank god – Conor is still following me. Which enables me to text him whenever I want, which is like SO DAMN COOL. And of course I’m texting him sometimes, for example when he releases a new cover or something. He still hasn’t replied, but I’m sure that he at least saw it and had a small reason to smile and that’s all I could wish for.

.

And now it’s 2016 and I’m still here. And I always will. Because Conor really means a lot to me. He’s more to me than an angelic, freaking amazing, unbelievable talented singer. He’s a guy who’s part of my life since 4 years now and I’m not planning on changing that and I hope he isn’t either. It really means a lot to me that I’m sharing this special story or let’s say relationship with him. I wouldn’t want to miss any of it. Never ever.

.

Oh and actually, after a wait of two years, Conor finally released some new music. His new album “Covers” is out today, which includes all his latest albums, two new ones and another original. I especially love his cover of “Don’t Let Me Down” by The Chainsmokers and of course his original called “This Is My Version” (I think this song is about his breakup with his long-term girlfriend Victoria, so it’s a little bit sad – okay it’s really sad – but so freaking amazing). So please, whatever you are doing right now, STOP IT. And go listen to Conors album. You won’t regret it, I swear. Conor deserves all of his fame and appreciation and a lot more. Because he really has a huge talent and he is an amazing person. And I’m just really thankful that I got to know him and have him in my life, even if he’s not physically next to me.

.

I really hope that you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. I think you noticed how important Conor and this memories are to me. If any of you want to talk to me about Conor or anything else, I’m here. Oh and here’s the link to his new album – spotify.com. And here’s the link to the official video for his new song: youtube.com. I really hope you enjoy Conors music as much as me and, as always, thanks for reading.

Girls talk (kinda?)

Hola everyone.

So, I guess today will be some kind of different topic and I’ll try to be 100 % honest with you because honestly, we’re all the same so.

.

You can probably imagine that I have no idea how it feels to be a boy, but I certainly know how it feels to be a girl growing up in this crazy world. And I can tell you, there are a lot of struggles.

.

Let’s start with my favorite topic (sarcasm), the week of hell. Or strawberry week or whatever you want to call it, because for me, as already mentioned, it’s the week of hell and I hate it. To death. Forever and always. Let’s be honest, why do girls have to go through that? It makes no sense at all. It hurts like hell. Makes you feel completely uncomfortable. For me, it makes you feel and look awful, at least from your perspective. And like for real, you’re bleeding!!??! If we cut our finger and bleed for like 20 seconds it’s huge, but when girls are on their period it’s no big deal at all. That’s so unfair. I mean, hell no, it’s not funny at all to have cramps like hell for 5 days or more. I would go without it anytime, seriously. I mean, I have to say that I’m currently at the beginning of my week of hell so I’m a little bit overemotional and complicated and I feel like crap and, for me, look like crap (my boss asked me if I’m sick), so yeah, it’s probably not the best time to complain about things, but I’m in the mood for it, so don’t judge.

.

So yeah, periods are shitty and pure nonsense. Next. The struggle of looking bomb every second of your life. And before any of you come at me, I know things are changing right now, thank god, but still. People think that girls and women have to be pretty. We just have to. And I don’t get it. Sometimes I want to dress up and look good, of course. But then I’m doing it for myself and not for anybody else. But sometimes I also don’t want to care about my looks AT ALL. Today it’s a lot easier for me to walk around without any makeup (at home) and in some chill out clothes. But when I was younger I always thought that I had to look good, all the time. I remember my mum asking me why I was wearing makeup at home. And I didn’t even know. I just felt weird without it. And today I don’t even want to put on makeup when I know that I’ll just be home the whole day. Because putting it on and off is just a huge pain in the ass, let’s be real.

.

But of course, there are always two sides. Sometimes girl want to be pretty, look pretty, feel pretty. For themselves. But sometimes they don’t. And that’s okay too, isn’t it? I think so. And I hate the pressure that comes from our society. And I HATE posts like “Go swimming at the first date to see the true face.” Like hell no, you don’t even deserve this date. You deserve nothing. Douche.

.

I know, this is already a pretty long post and I could rant on and on, but I don’t want this to be too much for you, so I’ll just cut down on the next few things. There are other things that kinda piss me off. The fact that there are still gender specific topics and jobs and expectations. Girls can be pretty AND intelligent. Girls can work as much as men and yes, they should earn the same amount of money (can somebody please fix that finally???). And girls can be into the same things as men. That doesn’t make them manly or something. We are girls. And we can wear whatever we want, do whatever we want and we should feel free to live free. As much as every other human should feel like.

.

So yeah, that’s my rant. Actually, I wanted this to be a funny post thingy, but I think it just turnt into some kind of feminism rant, which is pretty cool too. Please notice that any of the things that I just said can be switched for men too and also for the whole LGBT community. I think that we are all humans, we are all the same and we should all be equally valuable, no matter what we do, who we love, which body we have or where we live. We are all beautiful. Let’s embrace this beauty. Oh and can somebody please stop this girls having a period thing? Because I certainly didn’t sign up for this. Thanks.

.

I hope you enjoyed this post and if any of you want to talk about anything and everything, feel free to hit me up. And until then, thanks for reading. x

EDM heaven

Hola everyone.

I know, I’m late, I’m very sorry. Buuuut I have a good excuse which is also the topic of this post – I went to a festival yesterday (and yes, I got home late and felt like crap when I woke up at like 2 pm, but good and happy crap).

.

It’s called Lake Festival and is a festival for EDM music. But as you guys already know, my reason for going was one: having fun with my friend and two: seeing Martin Garrix again. Let’s be honest, Martin is literally the king of EDM, and at least for me, he’s the best and cutest DJ out there. And the aspect that he’s a superhot cutie is just another bonus. Actually I’ve known him for three years now and got the chance to see him close Sziget Festival last year. And I just fell for him completely and needed to see him again. I just had to. So this festival came just right.

.

I have to say, the festival on itself wasn’t like super duper amazing. It was pretty small, with only 3 stages. And of course I’m just comparing it to Sziget, which is like a complete other universe. But it was fun anyway, just really different. The only thing that I didn’t really like was the crowd. Especially with Martin, it didn’t really seem like they showed a lot of dedication. At least not as much as at Sziget. There wasn’t a real dynamic feeling. But let’s be honest, I didn’t care about that at all. Because I was there and Martin was there and I just had my little party with him. And he, as the cutie he is, still told us that the crowd was amazing and that he loved us (what a cutiiiiieeeee).

.

I only felt bad for my friend, because apparently, EDM isn’t the right thing for her and onto that, the people standing beside her where total douchebags and asocial pricks. I’m just glad that she just ignored them, which is always the right thing to do.

.

Anyway, Martin was amazing as always. I really liked that this set was completely different than the one at Sziget. And I mean, I wouldn’t have cared if it was the same, because I love everything he does. He just slays. And oh my god, he was so damn cute – I know, I say that a lot, but it’s just so damn true. And he played a lot of new songs, which are literally breathtaking. They’re more like rap, strong beat ones and I loooved. Actually, the last song he played is his new single which he released today and it was the highlight, seriously (it’s called “In The Name Of Love” – here’s the link: youtube.com). I mean, I started to cry. I was so overwhelmed. And he showed the heart sign and I did it too and I felt so free and alive and just appreciated the moment and lived it to it’s fullest and yeah. I’m just so happy. Really. What an amazing night.

.

Apart from Martin, the other DJ who performed were Oliver Heldens, Lost Frequencies, DVBBS (way to hard techno style for me, no thanks), Alan Walker, some guys I never heard of and didn’t really enjoy and R3hab. But to be honest, Martin just topped them altogether. As I said, he’s the king. And I’m really proud of that. Because he’s 20 and achieved all of that. He flies from city to city everyday. I mean, today he’s in Chicago, then in Las vegas and I bet that he has another show on Sunday. Someday he has three shows a day. And he still loves it so much, that he keeps a smile on his face for the whole time. And I love that. That he’s there for his fans, that he shows appreciation and that he loves what he’s doing. He really deserves all of that. And I’m happy that I can follow his path, even just as a quite observer and loving fan. I really am.

.

So yeah, that’s pretty much everything I have to say. The festival was amazing, martin was even more amazing and I can’t wait to see him again some time. Really. I hope that you enjoyed this post and if any of you want to chat about something, just hit me up, I’m here. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

Let’s go shopping

Hola everyone.

Today we’re going to be talking about something that everybody likes (at least I hope so). That’s right, we’re talking about shopping. Good old shopping for clothing and other stuff, that we mostly don’t need but just have to buy it, because look at it. So, let’s go.

.

Forever 21

I literally LIVE in this shop. I think I’ve never loved a store this much. Seriously. I remember walking into it for the first time. I was on a school trip and just went in there for fun and I just KNEW from the very first second on. It was love at first sight. Today like 80% to 90% of my wardrobe are from F21. And I’m not planning on changing that. It just has everything. Basic clothing, some grungy things, some boho parts, the coolest jewelry ever and it plays the best god damn music. I just love it. And most of all their tshirts. Amazing.

.

Brandy Melville

I again discovered this one on a school trip in Madrid. I went for a lil shopping trip alone and came across this cool boho looking store and just had to get in there. A few months later it all blew up and got like really really big. I have to say, I’m a lil bit disappointed in what it became. Because all the girls who shop there are either 14 or so damn thin that it scares me. Like, girls please EAT. But besides that, their clothes are still freaking amazing. And I looooove the fabrics they use. Sometimes it can get a lil bit pricey, but if you find a good piece, it’s always worth it.

.

H&M

To be honest, usually I’m not such a huge fan of this shop. Mostly because those in my country are pretty lame. They suck, seriously. But whenever I’m travelling to another city, I just love their clothes. Like, it’s completely crazy. For example at my Copenhagen haul. I bought pretty much everything at H&M. And I know that I would have never found such cool things at home. So, H&M is cool, except at home.

.

Asos

That’s a shop I found through Zoella. I usually don’t shop online, because I want to try the clothes on and see how they fit me before I spend money on them. But all the things at Asos are so freaking pretty. I actually have like 15 different pieces in my list of saved items, the thing is that I’m never buying them (please don’t question this, I don’t even know myself). Maybe it’s the money or the waiting game as soon as you click buy, which drives me insane. But I’m sure that one day I’ll have the courage to click that button and until then I’ll just fall for their clothes more and more and more.

.

Urban Outfitters

What can I say about Urban? I’m not such a big fan of their clothing, but I could die for their homeware, oh my god. I literally love every piece they have and would buy it all if it wasn’t so expensive. Actually, I bought a mug in Copenhagen and I freaking love it. It’s amazing. And they just have this cool image, like you just think that Urban is cool, it doesn’t matter if you’ve ever been there, you just think that.

.

Zara

This is a store my mum actually loved before me, at a time when I was more into colorful, playful clothing. But today I actually really like it – thanks again to Zoe. Two months ago I think I bought a simple, basic striped v-neck shirt there and I love it so much. It’s basic, of course, but it still slays. Oh and a few weeks ago I bought a pair of black jeans. I always wanted jeans like the guys from 5sos – if you don’t know it, their legs are like super thin sticks stuck in superskinny black jeans and I’m really jealous. And I wanted the same jeans. So I went in there and found the perfect pair and they are actually so skinny that they look like I just sprayed black paint onto my legs and the bonus is that they are super comfy. It’s fantastic. And the make your legs and every outfit look bomb. I love it.

.

Dr. Martens

Let’s not talk around it. The shoes just slay and I’m in love with them. I bought a dark maroon colored pair in Washington last year and I’m melting away every time I look at them. There’s no way you cannot love their shoes.

.

Pretty much every homeware store on this planet

Oh my god, I love homeware. And decoration. And furniture. And and and. That’s the interior decorator side of me speaking right now. I think if I wasn’t so into journalism and fashion, I would surely want to earn money by decorating and furnishing the flats and houses of other people, because I freaking love it. Whenever I see a cute room or building I can always already image how I would turn it into the perfect apartment. And I could and actually do waste hours of hours in homeware and furniture shops, just strolling through the lanes, checking out what they have in store. Oh and yes, I decorated my room exactly the way I wanted it. I still remember my mum and me spending days in shops looking for the coolest furniture. And since then I’m spending my time decorating my room with pics, postcards and other cute pieces.

.

So, there you go. Those are my favorite clothing shops including furniture and decoration, which I just had to include. I hope you enjoyed it. Oh and if any of you are into the same shops as me or want to talk, I’d be happy to hear from you. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

Music of the month

Hola everyone.

I know, I don’t need to explain anything or tell you about my love for music again and again and again and again and ….

.

Buuut, I actually have some news, that pretty much create my list of my favorite songs right now. First of all it’s fixed that my mum and me are flying to London next month to attend the Reading Festival and see pretty much all of my favorite bands. And I can’t even tell you how happy I am, I could cry – okay, I actually already did really cry, but hey, this trip really means the world to me. And I can’t wait to see Brighton. All I do is watch vlogs of youtubers that live in Brighton so I can see what it looks like – it looks amazing by the way. Even the book I’m reading right now, “Beautiful Broke Things” which I bought in Copenhagen, is taking place in Brighton. It’s crazy and I’m so damn happy. Oh and the other thing is the festival I’m attending next week to see Martin Garrix, which I’m super excited for. Seriously. It’s going to be a blast.

.

So, those are the two things that make up my music list. Enjoy:

  • The Jungle Giants – You’ve got something
  • Martin Garrix – Oops
  • Nothing But Thieves – Itch
  • Two Door Cinema Club – Are We Ready? (Wreck)
  • Twenty One Pilots – Heathens
  • The Jungle Giants – She’s A Riot
  • Fall Out Boy – America’s Suitehearts
  • Oliver Heldens ft. Becky Hill – Overdrive (Gecko)
  • Leighton Meester – Heartstrings (just because she’s a total queen)
  • The Wombats – Techno Fan

 

If any of you like the same music as me or want to talk about anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading. x
