My last week was spent making the most of my holidays and exploring cities and places in my local area that I have never been to or have never seen. I also spent some time relaxing in thermal spas with my mum, going to an indoor pool with my friend and enjoying some Bavarian 'Gemütlichkeit' at my local beer fest. Yes it was...

It's that time of the year, those amazing two months off uni that leave you with all the freedom to spend your time (almost entirely) however you want to. Therefore it's also the time where I actually find time to read without the constant nagging feeling that there are more pressing matters to attend to. I have thus compiled a list of all...

I'm quoting Janis Joplin for the title of this little outfit post because what with the semester being over and summer being in full swing I just thought it would fit.

So yesterday I decided to put the massive bucket of freshly picked cherries to good use and make a cherry crumble. Not only because never could we eat that many cherries straight from the bucket but also because I was really craving a sweet treat (and it got me away from studying which is always a good thing). I thought I'd share the...
