monday motivation #13

So many new things in my life, and so much to learn. I think there will always be challenging times, but I'm working on changing my approach to them. Ultimately, you have to decide how to react to things yourself, no one can make that decision for you, and nobody else can resolve the situation for you. 

Obviously, you can (& should) tell your friends what's on your mind - but not to have all of them just reflect back to you that you are right. I'm incredibly grateful to have friends who will tell me their point of view, share their experiences of similar situations -that provides the much needed input on difficult subjects, and lessens the thoughts of "being the only one" who ever felt/thought that way.

I've come a long way, and I am curious & adventurous for more!

Noh is on her way to London right now! ♥

Of course I am super excited for her to be here, I think we'll have an amazing time - even though London's showing off its worst weather right now - grey, dark clouds, bouts of rain, freezing temperatures. Sigh.
And if that wasn't enough, I'm actually sick right now - no big adventures for me today. I'm medicating it away though. But I hope she's off to a great start in the city, we will meet up later this day & grab a bite.

Wednesday

It's officially way too long ago since one of us updated our blog. Although I have been on apartment 707 every day I haven;t written anything, since I have been quite busy. I was in the United States in March and was busy writing a paper and then going on a little holiday rode-trip to Georgia. I saw a lot great things, learned something about the history of the Southern states and went to the beach to just enjoy the sunny weather (this was my favorite part actually).
Here is a picture from the beach.
I just loove this scenery!! I took a thousand pictures ! This would be the perfect place to do a shooting, either with bright pink and yellow clothes, or nude and pastels <3 or just black.

Now I'm back and classes already started again. I'm really looking forward to the easter-weekend. My spring semester is going to be packed. Since I want to graduate next spring I enrolled in around nine classes this year. Fortunately, I will be in the United States again, this time for a whole term :)

Oh by the way, while I was there, during the whole month I saw two, really two, college girls that were wearing outfits that caught my attention in a positive way! I really hope I will see more when I'm in a big city. And at a side note: I really saw someone going to class in pyjamas, no kidding. When I first read about that I thought it was a joke, turns out it's not. It's like in Shanghai were old people usually sit in the street in their sleeping clothes and play chess.
I actually found some more similarities between America and China, sounds weird, is true though. Maybe I'll write a post about that soon. First comes my personal trend favorites this spring (hopefully I will do that over easter, I have a lot DIY-projects though, much more than I can actually do).

As much as I wish it would start feeling like spring unfortunately it is still quite cold where I live. Actually, it's so cold that when I walk to the station in the morning I'm glad to wear a coat & a scarf & usually stick my hands deep into my pockets to keep myself as warm as possible...
So for me right now it's still all about layers and scarves and feeling cold.
Can't wait for spring to come!

Spring's around the corner

Since it is not -10 degrees anymore, but so warm that I can even go out without a jacket I'm very much in the mood for spring and can't wait for even warmer weather. Fortunately, I will be on a vacation trip to the Southern States next week.
Somehow I seem to have missed all the transition clothes and jumped to swim wear right away. And because I have a paper to write which is due Saturday I spent quite some time looking through the sales offers at Urban Outfitters and Forever 21.
Look what I found:

Scared yet?

inspiration, lately.

new beginnings

That's what I've been doing for half a week now. My flight left on Wednesday, late afternoon, and ever since I've been in one of Europe's largest cities... I don't really know what to write about it all - I think maybe I've moved so much in the past years, and been to so many countries that right now it just feels like another short lived trip instead of what's actually planned. I haven't done much exploring yet, at least not beyond my neighborhood, and will likely postpone that a bit more until I'm settled and have gotten used to it all.

Street Art

I found this lately: 50 best street art work selected in 2011, and there are some really good ideas among them.
e.g.:
