Outfit Post: A Sunday in Pimlico

Last Sunday, London was a glorious place to be. The sun was shining and it got warm enough so I could finally wear the summery jumpsuit I got from Dorothy Perkins a while ago. At the moment I feel drawn towards anything with palm leaf prints and this jumpsuit is no exception! Even though some jumpsuits can feel a bit limiting and difficult to wear, this one is super comfortable. As I learnt not too trust the English weather I wore my denim jacket with the jumpsuit as well as my tan flatforms (Office Shoes) and one of my favourite vintage bags (which used to be my Mum's).
We spent that morning at the car boot in Pimlico, looking for bits and bobs for our new flat. Even though we didn't buy anything special, it was still nice to have a browse. Capital Car Boot in Pimlico is a quite big one, so definitely have a look if you're around. You never know what you might find! After rummaging through stuff, we went to a small café called Pimlico Village just outside the tube station. It was actually quite late by then but we still decided to have an English breakfast and it was delicious!

New favourite brand: Miista

Hackney-based brand Miista is one of my latest dream brands. Since my sister showed me the brand, I have been nothing else than wishing I could have at least one pair of their amazingly beautiful, shiny, perfect shoes! Miista focuses on unique designs and was founded by LCF graduate Laura Villasenin. Miista shoes are available on the brand's website as well as on other online shops such as ASOS (look out for their sale!).

Autumn is coming

Last weekend my favourite visitor came to London and we spent Sunday exploring west London. Even though I've been living here for a quite a few months now there's so much more to see! As it was a very sunny day I chose to wear my lovely Topshop skirt and white lace jumper as well as my H&M Trenchcoat to keep warm. If I learnt one thing from living in England it is to always, always bring and umbrella and jacket as the weather can change in seconds! The suede t-bar shoes I'm wearing are from Topshop too. The cut outs are a really cute detail and they are so comfy with their little block heel. I got them in black and pink now...but there are also available in green at the moment - very tempting!

Around lunch time we went to My Old Dutch in Kensington. It is an amazing pancake house with the biggest, widest range of pancakes I have ever seen! Whilst my boyfriend chose to go for the (very!) spicy chicken one, I stuck to the sweet things in life and ate a banana pancake with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice-cream. It was amazing!!! If you fancy some unusual drinks My Old Dutch is also your place as they offer some amazing milkshakes and fruit beer from Belgium. From mango to banana beer, they got it.

Letzten Sonntag war mein Lieblingsbesucher in London, da haben wir gleich den ganzen Sonntag damit verbracht die Gegend mehr zu erkunden. Da das Wetter noch nicht ganz zu herbstlich war, konnte ich meinen neuen Lieblingsrock von Topshop tragen. Allerdings bin ich eine Frostbeule und so durfte der weiße Wollpulli unter dem H&M Trenchcoat nicht fehlen. Die rosa Schuhe sind auch von Topshop. Die Cut-Out Details, weiche Wildleder und der kleine Blockabsatz machen sie einfach perfekt. Sie passen zu allem und sind perfekt für die Arbeit. Ich habe die Schuhe auch noch in schwarz und nun gibt's sie bei Topshop sogar in grün...aber ich kann mir nicht wirklich das selbe Schuhpaar in drei verschiedenen Farben kaufen, oder? 

Mittags ging es dann zum My Old Dutch in Kensington, ein Pfannkuchenhaus mit leckeren Milkshakes und verrückten Biersorten. Das Bananenbier war ganz lecker, aber die Pfannkuchen waren noch viel besser und vor allem riesig! Das Menü sah auch super aus für ein deftiges Frühstück oder Brunch - auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

Instaweek: London

Yesterday was a very exciting day and London was as beautiful as always. For lunch we went to Hummus Bros in Soho, which was really yummy! I read about it on the Internet and having a boyfriend who can eat a whole Tesco Hummus tub on his own in a few minutes, I knew this was the right place to go for us. Well, I was hoping the good food would make him feel strong enough to venture through all the shops I wanted to visit...but I'm afraid it did not help. Later on in the day he feel asleep in Topshop's Eat café! 
One of my shopping destinations was of course the new & other stories store and what else is there to say than IT'S AMAZING! The modern, bright store design paired with a wide range of beauty products and gorgeous shoes make clear why Scandinavian brands are so popular at the moment. I was walking around the store with very big eyes, but couldn't afford as much as I wanted to unfortunately. However, I bought a little "earring" and received a few lemon body lotion samples as well, amazing!

Gestern war ich für einen Tag in London und nach einem aufregenden Mittag, ging es zum lunchen zu Hummus Bros in Soho. Für Fans von Hummus ist es auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert! Gesund, lecker und frisch! Ich hatte gehofft, dass das gute Essen meinen Freund für die anstehende Shoppingtour stärken würde, aber leider war das wohl leider nicht der Fall...er ist doch glatt bei Topshop im Café eingeschlafen! Natürlich war auch ein Besuch bei & other stories ein Muss. Das moderne, helle Ladendesign und das Visual Merchandising sind auf jeden Fall sehr beeindruckend. Vor allem die Schuhecke im 2. Stock hatte es mir angetan, aber am Ende habe ich dann doch nur ein Ohrring gekauft. Beim Kauf gab es sogar Bodylotion Proben dazu, echt super!
