Eyecatchers; Embrace The Summer

Everytime I need to study, I back out to my mom. Not just because my mom is the most caring mom in the world (she cleans my shaker the second I put it down, thanks mom!!), I always feel like I'm able to concentrate my energy the best when I'm around her.

Usually, when I'm in my 'studying-cocoon', it doesn't take long until I feel exhausted and fed up by constantly doing the same thing. I always felt like I'm missing out the best while looking at the sun.

But this summer feels different. Although it isn't even August, I already can say this is the best summer of my life. It's all the small things that make me so, so happy. The first step was to stop forcing myself to stay at home just to calm my remorse, even if I'm procrastinating instead of studying. When I feel the unproductiveness coming up, I just do something else, go outside and turn my mind off without any remorse and voilá, the next studying session turns out to be even more productive.

I'm doing yoga every morning. Stepping outside and taking these 15 Minutes just for myself after waking up turned out to be the perfect start. Yoga is one of the few things that don't make me feel the duty to progress and this is relieving.

In general, my workout routine feels more and more like an essential part of my life and not like a duty anymore. My goals I set along with it, like changing my diet and my lifestyle, slowly assume the shape I imagined, step by step. I also stopped rushing and being frustrated, I accepted my mantra: With me, everything takes a little bit longer. Slow but steady progress, that's what counts for me now.

So I study outside at my moms's little garden, tan my pale skin.

I go stand up paddling or swimming with my friends, chug around in my tiny car with loud music, discover new and old music, skip over every genre I know, I discover old passions, embrace every rain shower and wander around in my thoughts.

I even embrace the fact that I don't feel the urge to ride my bike. It's just not the time right now.

What a lovely summer. Whatever you have for me, I love you for every day, dear summer.

So here's a random collection of pictures I took myself and the ones I discovered on the net, I think it's obvious which is which, so I'm gonna let out the source rummaging.

Instagram turned out to be a huge inspirational source, the one I'm the most grateful for is the discovery of the C-Heads Magazine, check it out! Beatiful women, beautiful fashion.

Old and new, just like everything else. Hucci will be my Hero forever.

Hard to believe that this is Dusseldorf. The fog patches were caused by the hail beforehand.

Last but not least: Mary Katrantzou surpassed herself with her AW '14 and Resort '15 Collection. After she enriched the fashion industry with her exceptional digital prints which got copied ad nauseam, now you see her grow up and and experiment. Alternative fabrics and cuts have been added to her talent for prints, I love it.
