This is what we've all been waiting for!

I don't know, this is kind of my week of commercials. This one is the bomb. It's making fun of the advertising world and new media. The concept is pretty cool, even though I kind of lost focus on the smart water.

It's about time to tell you guys about something that I find very important. A friend of mine started his own clothing line a few years back. He creates some fine art on t-shirts! People all over the globe are wearing them by now. He started off in Germany, but currently he is in San Diego, so you might even run into him, depending on where you are. Anyway - now, after the earthquake and tsunami catastrophe in Japan, he decided to do something to help.

All proceeds of the next shirts sold will be donated do the Red Cross to help the victims of the Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan.

So, if you want to participate and do something, while looking sharp, to go his SHOP.

Too good to be true!

The VW people really know how to do their commercials. This is so funny and innovative; I bet every Star Wars fan out there is going to love it.

I love books!

2011-03-10T20:19:00.000+01:00

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.” — Rosemary Urquico

Nail Polish MANIA

2011-03-07T19:30:00.004+01:00

I should probably be a member of ANPA, the anonymous nail polish addicts. I know that some of you out there have way more nail polishes than I do, but neverteless, for me the current amount is too much. My boyfriend thinks I'm insane and my bank account is literally showing me the finger each month. But I can't help it...

Oh làlà, Lita!

2011-01-22T00:59:00.003+01:00

Purchased at Solestruck.
I have to admit - I really wasn't sure whether I was going to keep them. After visiting the tax office here to spend even more money on those babies, I was close to just sending them back once I held them in my handy. Stupid, I know. They're just so - big. What did I expect? I have no idea. Not the shoes that I recieved. But the more I tried them on with various outfits, the more I loved them. And even though I'm not sure if I'll ever wear them, considering that I'm living in a town where all the heads turn if you just wear a simple pair of taupe Topshop wedges, I decided that I'm keeping them. One day, my daughter will inherit those. (:

The size: if you consider buying those, you might wish to know how the size conversion relates. I have a German/Italian size 40 and considering that there is a special size chart for JC shoes, I just stuck to it. I ordered size 10 shoes. And they're a tiny bit too big for my feet. A 9,5 would have probably been perfect, but sadly they don't offer them. So if you have a chance to try on a pair before you buy it, do that. As I said, I'm going to keep mine anyway. I'll just wear them with socks on.

Comfort: They're comfortable as hell. No lie. You can walk the whole day in those. Plus, they make your legs so long.. it's lovely. Okay, I guess that's enough. All this post was supposed to say is: I love my Litas. They look so good on my shoe shelf, and maybe someday they'll be walking through the streets of Tuebingen.

Where did the snow go?

2011-01-09T18:39:00.007+01:00

I know I was gone for quite a while. Can't say that I'm very sorry about it, since I have so much to do. Studying for my Bachelor degree, working two jobs to be able to pay the uni fees and my newest addiction - SHOES. Also, I have been trying to handle my relationship as well as possible, considering that I moved in with my boyfriend a little less than a year ago. It was a crazy time, but that's not what this post is supposed to be about. I wanted to show you some pictures that a friend of mine took in december. I enjoyed that shooting a lot and I felt like sharing it with you guys.

Hope the year started out good for you! Much love, Lotte.

I highly recommend you to watch the WHOLE video.

Caught the bouquet. Oy.

2010-03-27T15:43:00.002+01:00

How ironic is it that the one who was hiding the most caught the bouquet in the end? I was at my uncle's wedding yesterday and it was lovely. My boyfriend was such a hottie in his suit and I loved to show off with him. Finally, I realised that each time I caught the bouquet before, everyone else got married but me. So I decided not to catch it this time. I hid behind all the other girls, pushed against the wall of the room. I prayed to the lord that it wouldn't hit me. And then - in your face! My left cheek hurt as the bouquet hit it with quite a speed.

What do you think of this tradition? Good luck or bad karma?

I forgot. The photos above show the bouquet and the dress I wore. It's from Karen Millen, London.

Must. Have. NOW!

I must admit that I am a huge fan of Michelle Phan, and each time I see a new video of her, I just head to a drug store to buy the make-up needed for each look. The last video I watched showed her covering her skin with this mineral foundation of Lancome. And immediately, I fell in love. Since I suck at putting this in my own words, here's a short description from Lancome about this product:

The 1st micro-vibrating mineral foundation. See a pixel-precise complexion with 14 hour wear. Never messy. Never so simple.
Simply push the button and let the velvety cushion applicator glide effortlessly across skin for perfect coverage. 7000 micro-vibrations per minute break down the featherweight mineral powder for seamless blendability. Feel newborn skin: Every day, micro-massages work with gentle minerals to revitalize skin, making it smoother, softer and visibly healthier even after makeup removal.

Talc-free, oil-free, fragrance-free. Safe for all skin types, even sensitive.

This foundation is available in twelve natural shades and I'm eager to get one. It's pretty expencive, so it will probably take me a while to buy it. If you're intersted in it, you can get it here.

This week, my room mate and I were lucky to get the chance to work with Nadine, a good friend of ours from the university. She is majorly talented and posing for her was so much fun. She had really good ideas and with our fab location, an old industry area, we completed this great day. With this post, I want to say thank you to Nana, and I hope we can work together again sometime.

Here you can check out her edited photos of us.

In between us girl-bloggers, a new guy appeared. One with an exquisite taste of style, I have to admit. He offers us a view on male fashion, even though he already slipped a hint on female style with an ode to a girl. If you like thoughtfully written texts, odes to designers and a beautiful mind, expressing in words, you should definitely check out this blog. It has a lot of potential.

Es ist schoen zu sehen, dass manche sich nicht zwingen, jeden Trend mitzumachen. Es ist schoen, wenn man tiefgruendig ist. Und es ist besonders schoen, wenn man seine Gedanken mit der Welt teilen kann. Wenn man ueber sich selbst etwas lernt. Ich bin ueber Nii's Blog gestolpert und gleich der erste Eintrag hat mich umgehauen. Sehr kreativ, spritzig, ehrlich. Es lohnt sich wirklich vorbeizuschauen. Und ihr Gewinnspiel konnte ich mir ebenfalls nicht entgehen lassen. Es gibt diese tolle Tasche zu gewinnen. (Siehe links.) Da ich schon seit Monaten eine Tasche suche, in der ich meine saemtlichen Uni-Utensilien unterbringen kann, druecke ich mir selbst jetzt einfach mal die Daumen. - Und wenn ihr auch mitmachen wollt, dann schaut bei ihr vorbei. Es lohnt sich; auch unabhaengig vom Gewinnspiel.

There aren't many words needed. When 'Daisy' first arrived on the market, I was probably one of the first people to get it. It was my favorite, next to Thierry Mugler's 'Angel' and Dior's 'Miss Dior Cherie'. Being so busy with my exams, my mom decided to buy me a new flacon and it was the one that I had wanted for quite a while now, but couldn't afford. Marc Jacobs does not only design the prettiest shoes ever, but his new perfume creation is absolutely AMAZING, and I guess Sephora's description fits this fragrance the best:

This warm floral bouquet conveys the free spirit of today's sexy, modern girl - she is playful, cool, and flirtatious. The long-lasting, day-and-night scent opens with pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit. Blooming midnotes of rose, fuschia peony, and geranium make a feminine statement. Layers of vanilla, warm tonka bean, and creamy musk create a sensous drydown.

The bottle's exquisite, multi-layered cap is a bursting bouquet with bright modern colors that pop against a matte black background and rope-inspired, gold metallic neck. The silhouette is inspired by Marc's fashion collection.

You can buy it here.

not much to say. very busy. very tired. stress marks on my face everywhere. i can't wait to have more time again soon, just to relax and lean back again. yesterday i allowed myself to go to the last party for a while now, because my exams are starting next week. and to look the best i could, i decided to go with curly hair and smoky eyes. i'm not sure about the hair. my boyfriend LOVED it, but it took me an hour to get them like this. i don't know if it was worth the work.

nicht viel zu sagen. sehr, sehr beschaeftigt. der stress spiegelt sich in meinem gesicht wieder. ich kann es nicht erwarten bald wieder mehr zeit zu haben, um mich zu entspannen und zurueckzulehnen. gestern erlaubte ich es mir selbst, auf die letzte party vorerst zu gehen; meine pruefungen stehen naechste woche an. und um so gut wie moeglich auszusehen, entschloss ich mich fuer lockige haare und smoky eyes. ich bin mir aber wegen den haaren nicht sicher. mein freund LIEBT die locken, aber ich habe etwa eine stunde gebraucht, um sie so hinzudrehen. und ich weiss nicht, ob es sich gelohnt hat.

ça, je regrette.

I can't believe how idiotic I was. Back in December, when I was in London, there were those pocket watches EVERYWHERE. On the Southbank Christmas Market, in Portobello road; there were hundreds of pocket watches for about 10pounds. And I waited for the last day, when we went to Brick Lane, where - of course- there were none. If you get to London in the nearest time, check out Portobello. You'll find your own there. Way cheaper than in UO or at ASOS.

Ich kann nicht glauben wie dumm ich war. Im Dezember, als ich in London war, gab es diese Taschenuhren UEBERALL. Am Southbank Weihnachtsmarkt, in der Portobello Road; es gab hunderte Taschenuhren fuer etwa zehn Pfund. Und ich wartete bis zum letzten Tag, als wir zur Brick Lane gingen, wo es - wie sollte es auch ander sein - keine gab. Wenn ihr in naechster Zeit nach London kommt, checkt die Portobello Road. Da findet ihr eure eigene Taschenuhr. Viel billiger uebrigens als bei UO oder ASOS.

Last night I was off with the boyfriend and some friends to have sushi. All you can eat for 15€. It was delicious. We've been to a restaurant that I've never been to before and I liked it enough to post about it. If you ever get to Tuebingen, go have lunch at JapGo. It's a really good restaurant/bar that has some of the best food I've tried in a while. The sushi was delicious, the steak they offer is the best I've ever had. The drinks are great and the atmosphere is awesome. I only have the best things to say about it; that definitely wasn't the last time I've been there.

Letzte Nacht war ich mit meinem Freund und einigen Freunden Sushi essen. All you can eat fuer 15€. Es war wunderbar. Wir waren in einem Restaurant in dem ich zuvor noch nie war und ich mochte es so sehr, dass ich diesen Post darueber machen wollte. Falls ihr je in Tuebingen seid, geht zum Essen ins JapGo. Es ist ein wirklich gutes Restaurant/Bar das das beste Essen anbietet, das ich seit langem gegessen habe. Das Sushi war fabelhaft, das Steak war das Beste, das ich je hatte. Die Drinks waren super und die Atmosphaere wunderbar. Ich habe nur Gutes darueber zu sagen; das war definitiv nicht das letzte Mal, das ich dort war.

The girls of Fashion Passion are giving away some really, really, REALLY cool stuff; in case you were just as unlucky with getting the Mint Candy Apple nailpolish by Essie as me, this is your chance. Next to the cool shirt and Lauren Conrad's novel, there is also a second prize, including a really cool make-up set. I'm taking my chance to win a package and you should do so, too.

Die Maedels von Fashion Passion gehen ein paar wirklich, wirklich, WIRKLICH coole Sachen weg; wenn ihr genau wie ich gescheitert seid bei dem Versuch, den Mint Candy Apple Nagellack von Essie zu erstehen, ist das eure Chance.

Same procedure as every year. I spent my birthday in London, again, having the best time, again. This time, we stayed at the Grosvenor Victoria, again. Unfortunately, we didn't get a super cool designer bedroom, but since we had two friends with us, it was still a great trip. On the first day we head off to Portobello road. Why? Because we were sick of the tourists in Camden. Notting Hill was as beautiful as I guessed it would be. There were jewellery stands everywhere, small shops with secondhand stuff and flea markets. Oh, did I mention the pubs? They served a drink called 'mulled wine', similar to the German 'Gluehwein'; delicious. And suddenly, we stood in front of it. I don't know if you know All Saints Spitalfields, but if you don't, you should definitely check it out sometime. It's quite expencive, but then again, it's not. Youget quality pieces with a really cool design from 40 punds upwards. Right now they have an online sale. (Hint!) We bought some really cool pieces there. My boyfriend bought the scarf, my friend Ina bought a pair of shoes and I got a men's hoodie-shirt.

Dieselbe Prozedur wie jedes Jahr. Ich habe meinen Geburtstag in London verbracht, mal wieder, und die tollste Zeit gehabt, mal wieder. Dieses Mal buchten wir wieder im Grosvenor Victoria, mal wieder. Leider bekamen wir diesmal kein tolles Design-Zimmer, aber da wir mit zwei Freunden reisten, war es trotzdem ein toller Trip. Am ersten Tag gingen wir gleich zur Portobello Road. Warum? Weil uns die Touristen in Camden nerven. Notting Hill war so schoen wie ich es mit vorgestellt hatte. Es gab ueberall Schmuckstaende, kleine Laeden mit Secondhand-Sachen und Flohmaerkte. Oh, habe ich die Pubs erwaehnt? Die servierten 'mulled wine', aehnlich wie deutscher Gluehwein; lecker. Und ploetzlich standen wir davor. Ich weiss nicht, ob ihr All Saints Spitalfields kennt, aber falls nicht, solltet ihr es euch auf jeden Fall einmal ansehen. Es ist ein wenig teuer, aber dann wiederrum, eigentlich nicht. Man bekommt gute Qualitaet mit gutem Design von 40 Pfund an aufwaerts. Momentan haben sie einen Online-Ausverkauf. (Tip!) Wir kauften dort einige wirklich coole Teile. Mein Freund holte sich einen Schal, meine Freundin Ina kaufte ein Paar Schuhe und ich hab mir einen Maenner-Hoodie gekauft.

You know what bugs me? That everybody is so annoyed by the snow. Back when I was a kid and used to spend every holidays in Croatia, that was called 'winter'. Nowadays they call it snow-storm and call out warnings. Sure, it's cold. But if you pull some warm Socks on, along with some boots, it's okay. I know, sounds weird, combined with those shoes, but I thought I'd share my longing for spring with you. I want to wear my Mary Janes (by Buffalo) again. They're incredibly comfortable and even though I barely wore them, they already look pretty vintage-y. (:

Wisst ihr, was mich stoert? Dass jeder so genervt ist vom Schnee. Als ich noch ein Kind war und jede Ferien in Kroatien verbracht habe, nannte man das noch 'Winter'. Heutzutage nennt man es einen Schneesturm und sendet Warnungen aus. Klar, es ist kalt. Aber wenn man ein Paar warme Socken anzieht, mit einem Paar Stiefel, ist es okay. Ich weiss, das kommt jetzt merkwuerdig, wenn man sich die Schuh-Bilder ansieht, aber ich dachte, ich teile meine Sehnsucht nach dem Fruehling mit euch. Ich moechte meine Mary Janes (von Buffalo) wieder tragen. Sie sind unglaublich gemuetlich und obwohl ich sie bisher kaum getragen habe, sehen sie schon sehr vintage-maessig aus. (:

oh, how lovely you are.

these are, unfortunately, not mine. my roomie bought this beautiful pair of overknee-boots and allowed me to try them on. who knows? maybe i'll get her to lend them to me sometime.

diese gehören leider nicht mir. meine mitbewohnerin hat sich dieses tolle paar overknees gekauft und hat mir erlaubt, sie anzuprobieren. wer weiß - vielleicht leiht sie sie mir irgendwann.

What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse.

I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the opera. It's terrible.

When I really worry about something, I don't just fool around. I even have to go to the bathroom when I worry about something. Only, I don't go. I'm too worried to go. I don't want to interrupt my worrying to go.

I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can.

Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.

i took isabella as an example to do my own stuff. she made this wonderful, wonderful ring. and lucky as i am, she told me how. so i ran to the next store to get the material. i don't have everything that i need just yet, but i definitely have the silver ring plates. and i can't wait to make my own ring!

ich nehme mir ein beispiel an isabella und mache jetzt meine eigenen sachen. sie hat diesen wunderbaren, wunderbaren ring gemacht. und als glueckspilz der ich bin, hat sie mir verraten, wie. also bin ich zum naechsten laden gelaufen um mir das material zu besorgen. noch habe ich nicht alles, aber ich habe schon die silber-plaettchen. und ich kann es nicht erwarten meinen eigenen ring zu machen!

this probably counts in the rubric "private stuff". here you get a glimpse of me. i was going through pictures of my last christmas and i had to post a photo of it. i can't wait for this year's holidays. since there are actually people out there who get christmas presents (i don't, because my birthday is on the 21st of december and i usually just get birthday presents), i thought i'd make a little wishlist. what i would wish for this year.

dies faellt wohl unter die rubrik "private dinge". hier seht ihr ein wenig von mir. ich habe mir die bilder vom letzten weihnachten angesehen und musste hier eines davon posten. ich kann die feiertage nicht erwarten. da es da draussen leute gibt, die weihnachtsgeschenke bekommen (ich nicht, da ich am 21. dezember geburtstag habe und nur geburtstagsgeschenke bekomme), dachte ich, ich mache eine kleine wunschliste von dem, was ich mir wuenschen wuerde.

1. this watch /diese uhr // 2. these overknees /diese stiefel // 3. this ring /diesen ring.

it's all christmas-y already. december fourth is my favorite day of the month. it's my mom's birthday. my mom is the most christmas-y person in the world. once she starts decorating the house, there's no stopping her. i, on the other hand, am nothing like that. i love all the lights in the streets and the candles and the gingerbread men, but i'm a inapt when it comes to decorating. furniture, yes. pillows, vases and plants? no. what about you?

ich bin schon ganz in weihnachtslaune. der vierte dezember ist mein lieblingstag im monat. es ist der geburtstag meiner mama. meine mama ist wohl der weihnachts-mensch schlechthin. sobald sie anfaengt, das haus zu dekorieren, gibt es kein zurueck mehr. ich hingegen bin ueberhaupt nicht so. ich liebe die lichter in den strassen und die kerzen und die lebkuchenmaenner, aber ich bin richtig mies in sachen innen-dekoration. moebel, ja. kissen, vasen und pflanzen? nein. wie sieht es bei euch aus?

i want to welcome you to this humble little world of mine. it's a wold full of bright colors and rainbows, of polaroids, tee and biscuits. if you're lucky, you'll find bob, my invisible unicorn walking past you, while you're on your way to discover this funny place. i can't tell you what to expect, since i've never done this before. but i guess there will be poetry, photography, quotes, lyrics, pretty paintings, shocking news, eccentric thoughts and here and there maybe even something private. - who i am? who cares. bisou.

ich heiße euch willkommen in meiner kleinen welt. es ist eine welt voll leuchtender farben und regenboegen, polaroids, tee und leckereien. wenn ihr glueck habt, begegnet ihr bob, meinem unsichtbaren einhorn, waehrend ihr euch an diesem oertchen umschaut. ich kann euch nicht sagen, was euch erwartet, da ich so etwas noch nie gemacht habe. aber ich denke es wird poesie geben, fotografie, zitate, liedtexte, huebsche malereien, schockierende neuigkeiten, exzentrische gedanken und hier und da sogar etwas privates geben. - wer ich bin? wen interessiert's? kuss.
