Entering Winter

Ladies, it's gotten real cold and I still cant get over the fact that it's Parka and thick-coat time. But I found this adorable lumberjack shirt from ZARA and it just needed a leather jacket. You know when the season for some clothes is totally wrong but you can't help but wear it anyway, that's what kinda happened here =)) 
What are your favourite must-wear pieces for this winter?

Kissing autumn goodbye

Hiya my lovelies, 

The sunny days are over and the weather has turned ice cold in a jiff. I couldn't accept that though. I'm sure I'm not the only gal who couldn't break in her fall clothes and jacket, so I took the chance today to flaunt my stuff.

Have fun and let me know what your favourite fall clothes & items are!

My last summer outfit

Hello my sweets, 

Couple of days ago it was official fall season. I gotta admit, it's not like you can wear that lacey summerdress with your favourite sandals anymore. But the hell with it, I will make use of the few sunny days we have now and post my probably last pictures without a parka or jacket. 

Let me know how you like them!

Elegant fall OOTD

Hi my lovelies, 

Although it rained quite heavily today I grabbed my phone and ran out in my OOTD, right after the rain stopped. I must admit that the smell of rain on asphalt relaxes me more than anything, it's my muse kinda. 

Check out my first fall OOTD of 2014. It's hard kissing summer goodbye but with outfit ideas lined up to the moon and back I'll be able to handle it just fine!

Study time at Starbucks and a few tips to get up early

Ahoi my lovelies, 

if you're one of those poor schmoes who actually has to get studying done during Easter holiday, congratiolations- you probably have no social life, just like me.
A few weeks ago (and before that too) I started realising that I am wasting way too much time during the day, not using my ressources to their fully potential. 
I made it a habit of mine to wake up really early these days, because you just get so much more done in the early morning. It's really incredible how good you feel after you seize the chance to do so, the feeling of accomplishment is just too good to ignore.
If you just can't manage to get up and your morning mood is just as bad as mine (I can literally start yelling if I'm being surrounded by too much sound) here are a great tips on how to get it done. 

1. Prepare

No real fashionista is leaving her look to chance, and no student           should leave his future success to chance either. I used to be one of those slobs who would say "Nah, I'll pick my clothes in the morning". Trust me when I say that it will leave you in absolute abyss-like chaos. Just prepare the things you want towear the night before and also pack your stuff for school/university.

Preparation is half way to success.

2. Gradually

If you're notorious for waking up at 9 am you will fail 100% if you try waking up at 5 the next morning. That's too much to take on at once. Try to wake up 15 minutes earlier each day, and soon you will condition your body to work full steam in the morning.

Don't forget: It takes 21 days to form a habit.

3. Alarm

By now we all now how dangerous your phone can be if it's too close to your body. Putting it under your pillow will not save you from being exposed to radiation. Set your alarm and put it on your table. When it goes off in the morning think to yourself "This is my last call to accomplish something great", open your window wide and take a deep breath.

4. No compromising

You either get up or you don't. Do not bargain with yourself after you turn your alarm off. You will NOT work twice as hard after you wake up, no matter how hard you tell yourself.

Don't think, just get up. 

5. Drink

We heard it before, water is essential, we need a lot of water, bla bla. What sounds like a played out line is still very true. We need water to function in literally any way, so drink up and drink a lot (don't overdo it, you can actually intoxicate yourself with water).

Water is a great way to go, so right after waking up chug down a big glass. Another way to go is green tea. I like to prepare a small bottle of cold green tea the day before and drink it right after waking up. Green tea is an allrounder. It helps you boost your metabolism real fast and it helped me a lot in my weight loss journey (blog post about my weight loss is coming up).

6. Dance time

    

After waking up I listen to Dj Okawari's Coffee break, this song is super soothing and puts me right into study mood. Pick a song which allows you to relax completely, because you will absorb much more information when your body is relaxed. You can give binaurial beats a shot for that matter.

7. No social media

    

In the mornings, avoid social media at all costs. You don't have to 

see what Peter's dogs dug up again or where your ex boyfriend has

been partying last night. The morning belongs exclusively to yourself and overloading your brain with void stuff will keep you from being successful.

Try sticking to these tips and you'll see a great difference in your overall performance. Let me know in the comment section what you think of them and what you include in your morning routine. Looking forward to hear from you guys =)

When I head out to study what I always look forward to is dressing real comfy yet stylish. Here are a few Outfit ideas for a day at the library or at a Starbucks table (it's quite enjoyable to study at Starbucks!).
