OUTFIT DU JOUR: [10.07]

It's almost the middle of July - and to me - this is what summer is all about: laid back days, finally finding some time to go shopping, raiding the sales in hope of some lucky finds and outfits like these becoming a uniform to fight against the heat - just a simple top & shorts or a skirt without any fancy layers!
The photos were taken in the 6th district in Vienna, which is most of all famous for one of the biggest shopping streets in the city - the Mariahilfer Straße. There are also lots of cute cafés & restaurants, which was exactly where I retreated after giving up on all of the shops because of the unbearable heat. What do you think about all of the sales? A possibility to find some great cheap pieces or much more a constant disappointment, having to fight through heaps of clothing in search for the right sizes? :D
Hope you're enjoying the wonderful summer days!! :)

MOVIE REVIEW: "My Week With Marilyn"

image via

With this cast, I didn’t expect the movie to be anything but exceptional. Michelle Williams’s performance was applauded the day they started shooting and the cinematography came across beautifully in the trailers.

Indeed, this is one film that managed to match my expectations perfectly. I was completely stunned by how wonderfully everything was brought on the big screen. The actors are unbelievable, even the smallest roles, the music is composed very aptly and even stays in your memory, which I appreciate very much. The sets are so marvellous, you want to go to London right away.

Be it Michelle Williams and Eddie Redmayne carrying the film with their heartfelt and authentic achievements as actors, or the soundtrack, or the story which moves you, feeling a mixture of respect and pity for Marilyn. The story is transformed into the script perfectly, the movie is never boring. Go. To see it. NOW!

PHOTO POST: summery salzburg

Finally the holidays have arrived!! I don't know about you but I'm incredibly excited about it :) 

Being able to enjoy the sun and the heat, going shopping, just strolling around throgh the streets and eating ice cream - perfect relaxation! And a really deserved one too, after weeks and weeks of studying for final exams at university..

Right now I'm visiting a friend in Salzburg (a small city in Austria which is probably most famous for being the place where Mozart was born ^^), which is just a 3 hour train ride away from Vienna. To me, simply cute, cozy and yet extremely beautiful - here are a few snapshots I took while discovering the city by myself on the first day arriving here.

Hope you're enjoying the beginning of the summer holidays just as much!! :)

MOVIE REVIEW: "Snow White & The Huntsman"

image via

Not only the anniversary of the famous fairy tale by the Grimm Brothers or the success in the United States, but most of all the superb cast drew Veronika and me to the cinema yesterday to find out what the craze is all about!

I got exactly what was promised in the trailer! A very dark and dirty, drastic and dusky transformation of the 200 year old story. I enjoyed the grown-up version and appreciate the courage to cater a target group from teenagers to mid-thirties!

Sometimes, though, the script lacked some logic and consistency and quite some parts made you laugh without the purpose of being funny! However, the cast is chosen exceptionally well, the story is changed in quite a pleasant manner, the music is well composed and the locations and settings always give you something stunning to watch!  

Watch it. But don’t take it too seriously; at least, not all the time :)

insta-memories {1}

Sooooo much to do in June!! Some of you probably know how irritating this last month of studying can be - exams, handing in final papers, etc. - more than enough to go crazy!! :)

As much as I'd love to carry my camera around with me EVERYWHERE, it just doesn't work too well, even after a few hours I start complaining about how heavy and bulky it is. So there is finally the perfect solution for me, for capturing everyday-moments in photos - my new found love - instagram!!

So here's the first capture of what my past days looked like & more will be following with continuous updates ;)

You can follow me there with the username khveronika and if any of you are using it too, feel free to leave your usernames in the comments & I'll make sure to check out your profiles! :)

ALBUM REVIEW: "Happy To You" by Miike Snow

image via

I’ve known Miike Snow for quite a long time, always being responsible for some touching moments in Gossip Girl ;). His hit “Animal” is known by quite everyone, however, the Swedish band is rather in the alternative segment of our music industry.

His new album is a complete success, I absolutely love it! The first singles “Wave” and “Paddling Out" are fantastic, and are two of the best songs from the album. Even their remixes are awesome, which I regard as highly unusual! Other highlights are “Bavarian#1“, “Pretender” and a collaboration with Lykke Li “Black Tin Box”.

Miike Snow stays true to his style and creates a very catchy album with songs you can listen to a thousand times, they won’t get on your nerves. Even though, they don’t all stay in your memory, it’s the perfect background music for various situations. Go for the Deluxe Version!
