HELLO my darlings!
Long time no see, I know, believe me, I know... What to say? It's not you it's me? Well, yeah, duh, obviously. Lately I've been feeling a spark of blogspiration though(not sure if refering to inspiration or perspiration there, maybe both) but I can't promise you this post is anymore than a one-night-stand. Let's just enjoy each other's company and see how things go, 'kay?
After this very awkward start of a post, WHAT in the WORLD have I been up to you might be asking. Now that's a good question! I've been doing absolutely everything a 18-year-old girl is supposed to do: those of you who follow me on instagram(which I have yet to leave in such a deceitful way as I left blogging) know all about my breakfasts, lunches, dinners and, well, practicly it's just food with a rare selfie here and there. Did y'all know I never really liked being the one INFRONT OF the camera? I'm just too AWKWARD. That's something years of blogging couldn't erase!
But I'm rambling(aren't I always?) - I have actually been longing to blog for a while now, and that's a feeling I haven't felt in so, so very long. I miss the undemanding work I used to put in to this fashiondiary, doing it for me and no one else. That really was a long time ago, which is very sad.
And you wanna know something else?
... I haven't done any real shopping since FEBRUARY. My first order since then was placed at Asos yesterday, and then I chose yogapants, espadrilles and a t-shirt over super-flared(that is a word) silver velour pants with tribal pattern and a megafluffy hat. Is this what growing up means .. ? So weird.
Anyway, I'll wrap this up with showing you an old outfit I shot in Tenerife a couple of months back.
Maybe we'll hear from each other soon, maybe not. Time shall tell!

These. Boots. Are. Amazing. 'Nuff said.
... OK no this also needs to be put out there: These boots, this shirt, this skirt, this hat and this I-forgot-my-sunglasses-face in this lovely little sandy park on the edge of Santa Cruz right by the sea, I think it was one of those moments when everything is just perfect. The smell of hot churros, armies of pigeons, palmleaves in the wind, old gurgling marble fountains... Those moments, lovers. Those moments.

Santa Cruz is a beautiful city and also might be the undefeated champion of How-Weird-Can-You-Park-a-Car, a world wide competition I maybe just made up. It is just the right whimsical mix of old and new, placed between the dusty mountains and right by the sea.
Talking about beautiful things, you might've noticed the gorgeous wrap skirt-actual-shorts in the pictures, yes? They're THE perfect substitues if you like me like the option of wearing a short skirt without having to worry about it riding up, like in that chapter of Simpsons where Homer wears a speedo. Sorry for the mental image. I still played it safe though, with my new jacket from Pull & Bear, again, go.r.ge.ous. It's got a sort of MC-vibe, but is in linen and just enough oversize, I wear it with everything, so versatile.
Please do also take notes on how amazing this look with a slouchy stonewashed t-shirt. Class dismissed.

I've been obsessed with this nude bikini ever since stumbling upon it while visiting Crete last summer. It's truly amazing, and takes the whole debate of underwear vs. swimwear vs. being naked one step further. This time I paired it with a satin pajama shirt from H&M and now we can all be confused and have our minds spinning with thoughts about whether I'm actually in the bedroom or on the beach!!

You often hear people talking about the LBD, also known as the Little Black Dress, but let's take a minute to talk about something I discovered to be equally essential for wardrobe-happiness: The LBLD - Little Brown Leather Dress! This one that I got at a Benetton-store is beautiful in so many ways, the sturdy structure, the fit, the drop waist seams... Would look wonderful with some strappy, high sandals and a messy updo, but also pairs so lovely with worn boots and a hat. Ahhh, the possibilities!

On the beachwalk between Playa de las Americas and Los Christianos.
Slightly windy weather called for a jacket and sneakers, I didn't mind though, as long as I can get by with bare legs I'll still love you, Tenerife! Something about this combo put me in such a great mood; it was comfortable, warm-but-not-TOO-warm, perfect to walk around in and the skirt didn't fly up Marily Monroe-style NEARLY as many times as you might think. The sun was shining, tanned Australian guys playing beach volleyball, the smell of hot and greasy streetfood, and of course the fact that you had to look over your shoulder each and every second in a slightly neurotic manner not to get run over by crazy pensioners in automatic wheelchair-cars. Great.

Y'all KNOW a girl needs that special staircase in her life for the sole purpose of giving those plain outfits a little extra -oumph. I found mine in Spain. Summer romance, much ..?
I'm really having a hard time deciding whether or not this post should be about those yellow/white triangles, or how awesome my new favorite sandals look with the highwaisted, tailored suitpants I'm wearing. They're both their own kind of beautiful ..

There's just something about rolling around in a blue sunbed, watching the ocean and being just enough protected som the salty winds... Ah, sweet life.
