4 documentaries to watch

No, I have not dropped off the face of earth, I've just found myself sick, busy with Uni work and generally procrastinating blogging, simply because I'm lacking inspiration and still learning to float instead of drown in that thing called third year...

Over the past two weeks, I've been watching a lot of documentaries (re-watched two, actually) and I thought that I'd share the ones I've watched and enjoyed with you. With the temperatures dropping, inviting us to stay inside and have tea on the couch whilst watching something in the evenings, I've increasingly been watching all sorts of things, including tv shows (duh) and movies, but documentaries in particular have been a favourite of mine. I love the feeling of learning something while watching a documentary on an interesting topic and I love sharing documentary tips about themes I'm passionate about with other people even more. Funnily enough, I realised that the four documentaries I want to share with you can be divided in two categories only: nutrition/food choice and fashion. So if these themes are of interest to you, make sure to check out the following documentaries...

Stripes & Turtleneck

sweater: new look pants: miss selfridge shoes: adidas bag: /

Just after I posted the last outfit a few days ago, writing about how the pictures were taken at a time when it was still possible to wear sandals, the temperatures have dropped a hell of a lot and all I've been doing the past few days is drink litres of tea and wear layers and layers of clothes. Just before the temperature drop happened, I wore the outfit shown above, telling myself that I should think out of the box more and wear other pants than only my skinny jeans, even when the weather is not open shoe or ballet flat friendly anymore. I love my striped pants but I always picture me wearing them with ballet flats, giving them more of a summery look, rather than opting for different pieces of clothing shoes. When I came up with this combination of turtleneck, striped flared pants and my new second hand sneakers, I realised that the pants work just as well in a more sporty, laid back look than they do in a simple, more classic look that features red lipstick and cute ballet flats. I might even be able to wear them with black tights underneath if the temperatures really are not going up again before Spring!?

PS: Yes, I have a thing for shoe close-ups next to those yellow stripes on the street.

All black in Warsaw

shirt, backpack: primark jeans, leather jacket: topshop shoes: mango 

Even before I left to Berlin, I already knew that our Interrail would anything but a shopping trip for me. My humongous was packed to the brim and I'm still unsure about how many kilos of clothes and shoes and food I carried on my back over those four weeks. Given the space (and weight) limitations, I knew that going shopping in the different cities we stayed at wouldn't be an option. Nevertheless, I picked up a thing or two whilst we were still in Berlin, because "they're so light and small, it won't make a difference to add them to my backpack". One of the few things I got was this black, extra long blouse/shirt from Primark. I've been loving all things long, oversized and shirt-like, so this shirt ticked all the boxes. I love the layering of different lengths and materials in this outfit and my friend and I found the perfect, simplistic background to take pictures in front of. I added my lace up (or as I like to call them when worn like this: lace down) sandals from Mango to get a change from wearing sneakers every single day and voilà, a simple, comfortable and apparently very "blogger" (quote by Sarah) outfit.

Comfortable in Culottes

sweater: new look culottes: mango shoes: h&m divided

Back in July already, I had gotten these culottes (my dad liked them enough on me to buy them for me ha) but the weather was literally too hot ninety percent of the time, which meant that they stayed at the back of my closet for months. Yesterday, I finally got the chance to take them out of the closet and take pictures of them when my friend and I went for a stroll through Brighton and a short study & coffee session. Funnily, I only got this sweater last week but immediately planned to wear it with my culottes as soon as I saw the two pieces next to eachother. There's just something about the colour combination of white and camel that I love so much! To me, camel screams Autumn, while the white still keeps the look light and more summery rather than turning into a darker, wintery look. All things fashun aside - culottes are simply the most damn comfortable things ever - I might have to invest into another, less sensitive (aka darker) pair of culottes, for those days on which I simply can not stand squeezing myself into skinny jeans or tights. What do you think about culottes - love them or hate them?

October Inspiration & Thoughts

While September wasn't as much of a slow start into my third year of Uni as I expected, October marks the month of being busy and hopefully as productive as possible. I'm really feeling like I need to change gears and just go all in regarding Uni but even personal development and hopefully figure out my future plans for the time after I graduate next Summer (next Summer already! How why what?). It's also the time to get back into a good gym routine, which already seems to happening right now as I seem to be crazy enough to book five different gym classes a week. Someone want to come scrape me off the floor?

Style wise, I'm looking forward to the temperatures going down - but as I said, that is stylewise because I have been surprisingly enjoying the warm temperatures we've had for so long this year and am a tad bit sad about Summer being over whilst contemplating moving to California in a year or so. The last two weeks have blessed us with almost entirely amazing weather with lots and lots of sunshine but that also meant that the big sweaters had to stay in the closet if I didn't want to melt in them under the warm Autumn sun. I'm excited to share a few more Autumn inspired outfits with you, one of which I already shot today.

I'm planning to spread out Interrail posts (including Vegan Eats posts) over the next couple of weeks, so you'll see the one or other travelling post popping up here or there but I also want to get back to "regular" blogging, sharing my everyday life, outfits and inspirations with you.

Dang, October really does look like a busy month so far. What about you?

PS: avocados are always relevant. Always.
