It's the 23rd of November. Summer here- officially spring. The first two months here have been going so insanely fast. I have lost eye on a lot of things. facebooking friends in germany, calling people- even my family, and keeping in touch. not in any offense, really just, because so much is going on here, things to do, people to meet and places to see. I have been insanely busy and most importantly happy. Things have turned out amazing, the place I live is beautiful, the family is great, and I really enjoy the time I am spending here.
To be honest, I lost the passwort of my blogsite, so thats why there was nothing up really in the last months. I did read the posts of the last weeks in germany, and I was thinking that my point of view changed a lot since I was here. I know that i was sad to leave and everything, but right now, I couldnt be any happier to be where i am.
I cannot believe it's almost Christmas. usually, the month before christmas it's getting pretty pissy rainy and cold, we start going to skiing trips, and we have the heaters in the house running like crazy.
here, the november is getting hotter and hotter, its usually about 30 degrees, witch is not even hot here.
also, we only have 2 more weeks of school before we accually have 3 months of summer vacation- witch is nice, since I will be wantig to take some spanish lessons and spend loads of time with all the new people. gotta run. xoxo

leo...
the last three months, at home in germany were really wonderful. meeting new people, hanging out with friends, going out and having a great time really made me think about how I´m going to leave. i felt like really not wanting to go, accually. the afs weekends always kind of helped me, finding sense in what i am doing and what i accually want. Back in march, there was a midstay exchnage in karlsruhe, where i live. ernesto, a kid from bolivia stayed at our house and we had a really good time. in the group, there were several other kids, boys and girls from pretty much all over the place. back then i already knew for shure that i would be going to argentina. thats the funny thing about afs students. we all have this little something in common, in a way we are all really similar, although we are very different. leo and I, a guy from brasil, spendt a lot of time together. leaving is always hard for me, saying goodbye sucks, and having to say goodbye to him was way harder for me, than i thought. accually I´ve been thinking a lot about him in the last days. i was thinking what he felt when he went to a new place, needing to find new friends and stuff. now, i am pretty close to where he lives and were thinking of getting to see eachother sometimes. i am happy that he is there for me, we talk once in a while and all in all, now that I´m here, i just know that i am doing the right thing.
get back to you! anna
get back to you! anna

buenos aires!
Finally here! I arrived in buenos aires early friday morning, after a really long 13 hour flight. ulture shock hasnt been as huge as I thought it would be. From what i saw, I cant really say buenos aires is pretty- its pretty ool though. Us AFSers got brought into a welome camp right outside buenos aires- we stayed for two days, had first argentinian meat, a talentshow, met a lot of people from all over the world and really didnt sleep a lot. I still am jetlacking a bit, its fine though. At first, I thought there werent too many dark haired people, but at the busstation, i felt pretty awkward with my bleached blonde hair. Right now, we are at the busstation in buenos aires, in a VIP room. The busstation is like as big as our whole trainstation in germany, and it is a little different. We have WiFi here, but my battery is running low and I was wondering how long this still lasts. Now its almost nine in the morning, we stood up at six and our bus to pergamino will be arriving at about 11. I'll meet my family then, and I really am a bit exited already.
I'll get back to ya soon, after getting new information :) anna

things getting real- finally.
saying hello to one thing means seying goodbye to others. It's finally summer again, the sun came out. Finally, now things are getting real for me, I was waiting too long.
noticing what i'm accually giving up here, at home is getting pretty clear, and I dont know If I like it. Sitting at my window right now, I kind of am just hoping to get enough sleep tonight.
I decidet to go to a yoga class tomorrow morning, so I wont sleep out too long. my mums going to greek tomorrow for a week and i'll spend the week, doing my checklist of things i still need to do before accually leaving.
I dont have much to say anymore, i think all is said for now, i hope my mind blackout will kind of leave me alone,.
I guess I'm just tired and a little frustrated, and maybe even scared, that sound weird?
Good night....

Friday morning.
It's friday morning, during my first week of vacation. Things are getting more concrete, and I'm kind of in a flashback phase of sucking up all good feelings of the last months, noticing they're enough for years. Today i'm going to visit Elizabeth in Schaffhausen with my Dad. She's one of the people that know me since I was born, we went to preschool together and we had a great childood together.
Before, i was pretty sad to not go to the US this year, but after i got information about my family, things are getting way easier.
i really cant wait to go to argentina now, the family seems wonderful and very friendly. I dont mind if the place is pretty rural, maybe becomming a little down-to-earth can be pretty cool.
okay, gotta run! :)
Kisses, anna

The last day of school... for a year.
I guess I'm using loads of ,,the last" before my posts. things are finishing up and today was the last day of school. It was not real school- mostly hanging out. we cleaned up the classroom- and then went into the new harry potter movie, after playing soccor in the rooms. I took a picture of my old classroom. last time i was in there, i guess. In two years we'll be in another one. I took the picture of the room empty, without any chair or table in it, pure as it is.
I guess I really am going to miss that room, a little.
Sophia, one friend i know since over 7 years, is leaving to L.A in only 2 days, so tonight theres going to be a little ,,bye-bye" party. I'll need to check for some clothes, go to the massage before, and then get ready for tonight. BECAUSE. tomorrow is my first day of ,,vacation". why the duckfeet? two more project days, that's it That means, breakfast at starbucks tomorrow morning, then hanging out in the design room until 4 pm, after that shopping with isabel- 29 more days, I think i really need to enjoy those.
Painted my nails black- festival seasons are staring, lets do this... ;)
xoxo
have a great night.... i swear, i will.

The 10 questions tag!
Okay. Today I felt like posting a couple answers from a tag someone tagged me in- enjoy.
1. How did you come up with your username?
It's a combination of my NAME and my middle name.. I guess I couldn't remember anything else... I mean, I have loads of passwords, usernames on emails, facebook, twitter... and an easy one makes it easier for people to find me. If everyone was just called ,,dolledupprinces21"- you'd never find anyone, right?
2. What would you do with $1 million dollars?
Hmm. I would buy two things. A little apartment in NYC, right downtown, up in a really, really high building.. And I would buy a pair of 5 inch killer black louboutins... If I had rests, I'd use it to make people happy. i'd buy my mum a mini-cooper, my dad a steelers ticket for the superowl, my brothers a little trip to the australian open or the us open and isabel and I would go to hawaii and hang out for a week :) or more :)
3. When are you happiest?
This one's easy. Just being in company of people I like.
4. What was your most embarrassing moment?
I think I've had a couple outfit desasters... (the whole miniskirt and hiphop sneakers thing in seventh grade was really bad..)- but there was nothing REALLY embaressing. Hm, well, okay. On a skiing trip, I had to spend my night over a garbage can... I think that was pretty not-feminin...
5. What is your favorite thing about yourself?
I dont know if there are a lot of things I really like.You need to answer this one.
6. Who do you want to take a picture with?
I think Megan Fox' boyfriend- he's hot... or jared leto...
7. What is your dream job?
I'm not sure about my job yet- I just now that my favorite things to study would be fashionjournalism right downtown NYC. There is a pretty great little private school on 77th, where you could go for that. being a journalist or something like that wold be great. and guess where? new york. If I would raise my kids though, i think I'd move to PA, state college. The place I grew up and have loads of my memories..
8. What is your dream car?
Accually my favorite car is not a convertable or Minicooper. i would definetly go for a huge black 4-door range rover with leather seats, huge wheels and a really big trunk.. That wouldnt work out in New York. But it would in state college- and that would be fun.
9. Name one thing you cannot live without?
I dont know- I think my family and friends (of course..). But other than that, I think my phone. Or my facebook account, Okaaay. No- seriously. i mean, I have over 500 friends on facebook- people I met in over 4 years, we spend times together and share memories. If i would lose all of those in only one click, i think i'd have a hard time finding them all again...
10. What is a lesson you've learned in life?
1. How did you come up with your username?

i think I've learned a few. Of course, i've learned the basic things like being patient, honest, friendly and respectful. But i think the most important one was, knowing that only daring can make happy.

The last weekend before summer vacation....
Oh wow- its sunday afternoon and I really didnt do anything this weekend. Accually, i'm still wearing the shirt I slept in and jogging pants... Whatever. I think this was the last ,,normal" weekend in garmany in 2011 for me :P funny thought.
I started writing again- ,,the story of us" kind of, a review of my 2010- pretty funny how much happened in a time that I'd rather describe being very short-termed in a way. I enjoyed meeting people a lot, I think It's one of the most beautiful things in life, meeting people you go along a piece of the way. in only four weeks i'll be leaving. The week I just spend in saint malo was like the goodbye-journey from my classe- I know every single one of them since over 4 and a half years now and I think we really got close.
Anyways- i am a little exited, a little scared, maybe even confused and probably a little bit happy too ;)
Gonna run- see ya ♥Saturday, July 16, 2011
practicing coing home.
It's 11 am, saturday morning. at about 8 am, I arrived back in germany, coming home from our yearly classtrip. we visited saint malo, a little coast town westly paris.
it was a good week and we enjoyed hanging out a little before things change.
In only 4 weeks, I'll be leaving to argentina and I really can not believe it now- Isabel read one of my last post and told me that it sounded really sad. I really dont wanna be misunderstood- because I feel like I'm all exited and happy for the times that'll come. Still, i am a little consious.
Anyways- my next week is the last of school this year. Monday I'll be golfing and on thursday and friday project days in karlsruhe will be planned- it'll be pretty easy.
Tonight the ,,happiness"-festival in pforzheim is going on, but i didnt think of getting cards and I am really tired so I guess I'm staying home. or i'll change my mind in 20 minuits.
Well- I'm spending my morning with watching scrubs and sleeping. Planning the next week will be kind of annoying- i'll really need to check everything i want to do will be fitting- since times go by too quick... Well then- have a great weekend !

friday, again.
Fridays.can be the most amazing days ever and the worst. This is the worst. I have had a bunch of wonderful fridays in the last couple of weeks, maybe even the best days ever. But today is just a day i wish i could start again. LAst night i had a pretty exhausting discussion, and i need to say that my oppinion was wrong- witch does not make anything very much easier. I am in school right now, i am in school and accually blogging. My eyes are swollen, i overslept, i killed my blowdryer and my voice is totally gone. Tonight were having a gig down at the summer festival, just a couple songs- but still annoying that i cant sing at all. I may go home and get some sleep, drink tea and get rid of the fucking headache I have. And I'm hungry. I need a sandwich. Anyways- wish me luck for the rest of my day.. Kisses!

the last afs weekend before leaving...
On friday afternoon I left Ettlingen to go to Stuttgart, Leonberg for the last preparation weekend before leaving to Argentina. The people were great and it was crazy how quick time passed.
We learned a lot about southamerica- and argentina.
The place I'm going to is called ,,Pergamino", it's in the state of buenos aires, and I cant wait for the summer- on the other hand though, I am kind of afraid, still.
Last night, Mum told me that she couldn't really believe giving me away as a kid- and getting me back grown up. I think I can count the days of still being a little girl- and I think that time has accually passed before.
About 104 000 people live in pergamino- a pretty and more or less small place, I'm going to spend my next year in.
the plaza of pergamino is the main place in town.
I'll just wait for the next couple emails i'll get- and then I guess i can say more.
Have a great day!

belonging.
Since I came home from the last week of vacation this year I am really getting to the point of questions. New information about family and places I'm staying. it kind of seems to get real now, and It's not only paperwork anymore. I think the point of imagination and reality is pretty hard since just everything that started being built up in the last years just kind of is crashing down. People I know, places I've been to and things I just do everyday- nothing will accually ever be the same. This is like walking over THE line.
The last year was great for building up a ,,normal" way to get through the days and there are some moments where I really think, I am where I belong. But now, am I giving it all back up? I can't really tell If I'm going ,,backwards" now.
I'm just getting ready for the last AFS weekend before my exchangeyear- just packing some stuff and listening to some songs I kind of got to know down in France. Two days ago Yassi- one of my best friends- left to africa for three months. I really wish her all the luck she can have and I cross my fingers, that she has an amazing time!
People come and go, and just a couple days ago someone told me that some people really want you to trip and fall on your way- i never noticed that It's the right thing to let go sometimes- I'm not good at letting go, I think. i'm not ready to let go, because then I'll never know what I'd be missing.
Taking this step is hard- and easier than I thought at the same time.
Today was just school, the seniors-prank day- it was fun and we spendt our time up in the classroom watching a horror-movie (I swear- I'll never go into a big mansion on my own ever again...).
In only a week i'm going back to the beach in France with our classtrip. Then another week of school, the festival- and then It'll be over. i already wrote the last chemistry-test of my life (and failed) and I will definetly never write a frenchtest ever again. The thought of that is a little confusing, I find.
Anyways- we had a barbeque at 10 am in school this morning and all that was missing was kronenbourg...
I gotta get going- get back to you! (tgif!)

tommorow, i love you, tomorrow...
Tomorrow! At 6 in the morning we'll start the journey up to france, st tropez. I have already packed (a lot), I have my breakfast meals ready, I have loads of dresses, bikinis and shorts and I am sooo exited to finally leave this rainy grey town and get up to st tropez.
I just got the last couple things I needed for the weeks of vacation like suntan lotion, some makeup stuff and a couple magazines. The GOOD THING is, that I can read the french elle, vogue and instyle in the next weeks. Now I'm back home, doing the last couple things for vacation and drinking coffee. I remember times pretty much a year ago, we only went the second week, and I couldn't wait! And another time, we got stuck on our way back with the car, having to sleep over in a little town hotel.
I have so many fun memories of the weeks there, town, the beach, all the people, the great food and tons of sun.The next two weeks will be the last vacation back home with my family, brothers and friends. I think things will change and I dont know If we'll ever come back there when I come home from argentina. Things will change a lot in the next year, and since there are only about 7 or 8 weeks left until the flight will be taking off, I feel like I have loads of stuff to do here, you know, things I feel like wanting to finish them up, like talking to a person who I feel I should say something to, tell a friend that I love her or really spend time with my Mum, watch a football game with my dad and watch my brothers tennis match.
People say, you really feel grown up, when you're back, and soetimes I'm accually struggeling if it isnt kind of cool that I'm not ALL ngrown up yet.
I'll think about it.
Have a great, wonderful and sunny week, and I'll get back to you ASAP!
TGIF! (thank god its ´friday.)
love and kisses, anna

Sunday morning sofa chill...
This weekend was accually supposed to be my third AFS-Weekend in Stuttgart. But on Friday morning (we had a long weekend) I woke up and seriousl couldn't walk- I had to cancel the weekend and stay home. My hip was hurt so I couldn't even stand up from the couch.
That really didnt make my weekend the funnest one, but I had time to sleep a lot and have a relaxed time. Right now, I'm watching this old movie, while it's really chilly outside...
The good tthing about this weekend was just that I had time for getting some online-things done. I ordered a bh-cosmetics palette and then I clicked up on glitzyglam.com and they're having a free shippen edition for this weekend ! I couldnt buy bith things so i think I gotta wait... :( hmpf!
But okay, from now on were only having one week of school and then were going to st tropez. I still cant believe the year has passed so quick. Only a couple more weeks and the year'll be over, I really want to enjoy the rest of the time ! :)
I also cant wait for the time after my exchange year, because after that, my next destination will be the USA, to see Ariana and Elizabeth and Peter B and everyone else again..
Times will pass pretty quick and I feel like missing a little bit..
I really hope you'll all have a great weekend and enjoy times !
Kisses

stressy or stressless??
This week, only 2 days of school! yayayayayay! Right now, I just ordered a supercute keychane on glitzyglam.com and I am sooo exited for it to arrive :P
I'm sipping coffee, listening to ,,still" by Jupiter Jones and really needing to decide what to wear..
But I accually just found out about the new essie collection.. It has a colour called ,,sand tropez".. isn't that sooooo cute??
I really need to get to school now (french class) and get some things done, but I'll be back home in about 6 hoers :) Kisses!! xoxox

friday afternoon rain and cote d'azur
Good afternoon, guys!
It's friday afternoon and earlier the weather was fine, but now it really sucks, its rainy and really cold, just eww. That's why, in my lunchbreak i needed a little summer feeling! Since the new essie ,,braziliant" collection isnt out in germany yet, I ordered a part of the spring collection- essie's coat d'azure! It's a shimmery blue colour and I am sooo addicted to that colour right now..!
And since we are with the cote d'azur (the azur-blue coast in south-france) I'm tellin' you, where my next journey destination is going to be ! It's Saint Tropez!!!
Whoooo! Party and yacht City Number one in France, the sweetest stores and shops, the ocean wonderfully blue (just like my nails will be !!!) and a sand-white beach with a view over the hugest yachts in middel-europe. Dude. But It even gets better! My best friend Luca ♥ is going to come there too! We are going to have a blast with the craziest people, great afternoons in the sand, yoga mornings and trips to town. This really gets sun into my mood!
by the way, there is this new song, ,,welcome to saint tropez" ! It's soooo fun ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh2FRFhS7QY
I admit summer-addiction. In St Tropez there are markets, restaurants, loads of champagne and narrow streets with red bricks and colourful walls, so nice!
another thing needed for st tropez are these shoes, I love.
these are so cool, right?? I'm taller than like everyone else, exept for my dad and luca, but thats okay. They look like snake and the plateau makes the hight feel okay- they're to get on asos..
Oh, just another thing. I got the cote d'azur nailpolish online, amazon.com. I found out a crazy thing (this will be for Isabel!), that O.P.I has a full hongkong collection! The colours are from bright orange right over to dark grey and muddy (but still chocolaty-cool) brown. Just as many fassades as the city has! And the other thing I got on amazon was accually oatmeal! No joke ! In germany you can't buy Quakers Oatmeal, and since its my all-time-favourite breakfast, I HAD to order a pack. Speaking of American food, america and stuff like that, It's crazy how quick time is passing! In just two weeks, were going to st tropez, then the other side of france with my whole class for a week and then we only have two or three weeks of school, before summer vacation starts. And from then on, only three weeks and I'm going to jump into the plain flying right down to argentina...
The weekend is close, and I am really looking forward to sleeping out long! Later I'm going to go to my facial, but the rest of the day is going to be chilled out, before I go visit isabel tomorrow :)
Weekends are the best!
I really hope you guys are going to have a blast!
kisses, Anna
It's friday afternoon and earlier the weather was fine, but now it really sucks, its rainy and really cold, just eww. That's why, in my lunchbreak i needed a little summer feeling! Since the new essie ,,braziliant" collection isnt out in germany yet, I ordered a part of the spring collection- essie's coat d'azure! It's a shimmery blue colour and I am sooo addicted to that colour right now..!
Whoooo! Party and yacht City Number one in France, the sweetest stores and shops, the ocean wonderfully blue (just like my nails will be !!!) and a sand-white beach with a view over the hugest yachts in middel-europe. Dude. But It even gets better! My best friend Luca ♥ is going to come there too! We are going to have a blast with the craziest people, great afternoons in the sand, yoga mornings and trips to town. This really gets sun into my mood!
by the way, there is this new song, ,,welcome to saint tropez" ! It's soooo fun ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh2FRFhS7QY

Popovers- sunday morning sweethearts
Good sunday morning y'all !
I am feeling really awsome and slept out, I had a great morning.. I just made popovers, my new favourite recipe for breakfast! Yesterday, Isa slept over and we made popovers with french strawerry marmelade and strawberrys...
I think I'll call these ones ,,strawberry field popovers!"
The recipe is so easy and awsome and it smells soooo good when they're in the oven !
So here you go..
You need:
Butter,
2 Eggs, medium or large
250 ml Milk
125 grams Flour
a pinch of salt
First, heat the oven up to 350. Butter a muffin-pan. Then Take a (plastik)- big bowl and but a tablespoon of butter into it. You can melt the butter in the microwave. If you dont have a microwave though (Like by bestie Isa), you can also melt the butter in a little pan or pot. I think the microwave is best though. Let the butter cool down in the bowl. Meanwhile, prepare all the other ingredients on your work area.
Add milk, eggs and the salt to the butter. Mix through a little, then add all the flour at once and beat, until the mixture is without any clumps.
Now, put the muffin pan into the hot oven for about two minuits and then pour the dough into the forms. Dont open the oven to long, otherwise the heat will all be gone !
Bake for about 20 minuits. The dough will really rise ! After that time, take a knife and poke all the popovers, that steam can get out, they get a little crunchier from the outside. Lower the heat to about 275 F°. Bake for another 15 minuits.
Now, get the popovers out of the forms really quick, if you need a couple more minuits until you eat, sling them into a clean kitchen towel.
They taste best with butter and marmelade, I love raspberry most! Oh, speaking of that, maybe I'll cook some jam over the week... Also, they're even better if you eat then hot, right out of the oven!
Well, whatever! Jam on !

thrusday afternoons and cupcake nights ...
its thursday afternoon and I am so happy to be at my friend Isabels house again :) we kinda made creme brulee, and it looks soo good! :) Later were going over to my school for band rehearsal.
The week 'til now was okay but I cant wait for the weekend again! Right now, were still planning to do something on saturday or sunday, maybe go out one day.
Isabel has loads of cool AFS pictures and I am really looking forward to taking even more and more over the next weeks! speaking of photos, she has the -like- greatest camera ever. I really need one before I leave to argentina. She just gave me the coolest earrings ever, they're doughnuts with coloured sprinkles on top and they look really sweet, she took a picture before :)
Right now, on the radio they're playing ,,the time of my life" not the black eyed peas version, the old one ! And Isabel was just like ,,Isn't that High school Musical?" :) Okay, I love her.
Speaking of loving her, I also LOVE cake, and the AFS people, and the best combination is, if these awsome people give me a cake ! thats what happened on saturday! It's an icecream cake with a picture of me on top! also it has roses and little pearls on it... Soooo cute ! It was just huge ! I had a really good time with all the people and I really hope ther'll be loads of other events with those awsome people !
Gotta run !get back to ya ! :)

Pissed off.
I am seriously so extremely pissed off.
Right now, It's lunchbreak, we just had two lessons of german class and we wrote the reports about our job orientation weeks. I already had 8 pages with photos, text and loads of other stuff that took ages to write. Then there was this dumbass who goes to the class over ours, and he just pulled the plug of my computer!! The computers at schools are really old, like from the 1965's, so they dont have automatic saves or backup systems, and my whole text was just -whoooosh- gone.
I have to write everything new and I a sooo planning to kick his ass asap!
So mad and annoyed.
All in all, I am really annoyed about stuff that is supposed to be funny, but really isnt. For example once, I read a book outside on our balcony, it luckily has stairs down to the garden! My brother locked the door and left me there. i didnt really care much, but then he left the house to go to soccor training, and he left me sitting outside without a key. I had to run over the street barefooted to get our neighbors key of our house and that was the only possibility to get in. Dude.
Just the same with a blogpost from beforeargentina. i wrote a lot, and I forgot plugging my laptop in, so it ran out of battery and hung itsself up. Gone.
I have two possibilities now. (getting drunk is NOT one of them.) Either I can come home later and sit there for three houers and do it all over again, or I am just going to take a bath, sit infront of the TV in my joggings and be annoyed. So what am I going to do? Second please.
I guess I have to get back to school pretty soon, I still have history class, chemistry and physics. Can this day get any worse?! Probably not.
get back to you soon.

a whole year older...
Wow, I'm back!
After about two weeks of not posting at all, i'm now back with loads of new info :) The last two weeks were crazy!
On monday, it was my birthday and I had such a great time with all my friends and family, I appreciated it soo much! I only had to stay in school 'til about one, witch was so great, and when I came home, my mum and brother had loads of presents around for me ! My Mum gave me a thomas sabo necklace with a little red guitar, the statue of liberty and (my fav!!) a super-high black heel charme :) I love Nicholas Sparks a lot so what I wanted for my birthday was a book from him. Besides that, I got magazines, a studio-recording and a photoshoot. I am sooo happy with my presents! In the afternoon then, a good friend came over and she gave me a wonderful gift, a facial! whooooo! ♥
I think I'm going to call there later and get a date to go :) Another awsome thing is that in my favourite store, goldies, have a 10% off in the birthday week!
On saturday I'm going to have time to really relax and go shopping a little :) ohhhhhh, speaking of clothes!
Last week i had my job orientation and I am really going to look for another job, i am seriously never going to be a designer. It was fun, accually and I had a cool time, but the best thing about the whole day was always lunchbreak..! There was the most awsome restaurant, bar café thing and the waitress, farina, always already knew me, she was so nice ! I always made sure to wear the nicest clothes, wear my hair up pretty and wear perfect makeup. It was all to be soooo perfect. Boring. After maybe three days I missed looser jeans and white tanks with no jewllery. Anyways, the food in that café (I'm going to google the name!) was just awwwsome and the cake was great there too. But Farina, the weightress was THE BEST, she was so nice and is now a real good friend.
Away from working. My weekend was sooo great, and I had time to go to town a little. I wanted to get a ,,clinique chubby stick" in whoppin' watermelon, but they were all sold out! In that time, i had a little room to look around, checking out products clinique has, and I got the anti blemish series collection since I really had breakout in the last weeks. I only used the product then for one and a half weeks now, and its all gone. I am sooooo happy and relieved!!! Besides that on my ,,need"-list was the tinted moisturizer and a couple ,,chubby stick" colours. ohhhh, and one more thing! I need a bright pink blush- really pink!! There was a MAC special edition with hello kitty and it was a firey bright pink. It was great and I really need it!!
Oh, I gotta run!!

colour flash.
It's spring (finally!), and whereever I go, I see one trend. Colour blocking, neon colours and flash colours. Every single magazin I buy tell's me, that colours are must-haves. Okaaay, I have to admit. I've bought a neon-yellow tank top and a turquoise scarve.. Green velvet trousers and a rainbow-headband. I kind of try out every trend, but I never follow it. In the time of goth, I wore smokey eyes, goth boots and big chunky black jewlery (yes. Fail.). Way before that, in 2007, the trends were leather-leggins, black and white and metallic all over. Still I am proud, that I have never been owner of a fake-leather shiny legging. Still, I bought pounds of silver huge klunks, I only wore the tightest jeans, though I dont really have (and had!) the right bod. In 2008 then, Trend was white, puristic, clear lines.. shapes and blazers. After that, I only wore california-style miniskirts and in 2010 i was on a roller-coaster with punky taylor-momsen and cute blake lively styles, but always on heels.
Now it's 2011, and - hey, why dont try out this trend? I think It's cute, wearing camel or light cream colours with berry or blue. Makeup is kept puristic anyways and hair is either slung back or opened, but never styled. *like*.. For example, on sunday, my brother had his holy comunion, and I bought a berry dress with empire-top and flowy, tailled waist with chiffon parts. Combined with neon-orange dangly earrings and dark green nails and toes but simple back wedge-heels. (they're peeptoe, so you can see the toes). I am real exited to try out with the colours, and I'm also really waiting for the summer, cause then we'll see new trends, awsome ideas and fashion inspiration...
so keep in touch! kisses ♥

saturday night superstar...
it's saturday night and what am I doing ? watching dsds. It's short for the german idol kind of thing.. First time I watched it, I was 7 or something, and I fell in love.
I dont know why, but I am always taken away by the songs, the gossip stories about (honestly) only half-talented teenies put in some kind of roles. But its fun! I just read an article about the show today The columnist said, candidates would be too dumb to remember lyrics and girls would just be bitches jumping around on a huge stage with bad clothes (remeber sarah's dress with the huge music-key on it?!).
But isn't that, what we love ? This years season is great. First a top-favorite-candidate got thrown out, then there was (after the second show!) a nervous breakdown by a seventeen year old blondie,she had to go to hospitals again and again, her dad took her out of the show, but the favourite didnt want to come back. So Sarah, a dark-haired eighteen year old girl came back, and the three left girls basically killed eachother, insulting eachother real bad, and I loved it.Then, after the breakdown of the seventeen year old, the legal protection got activated, and the underage kids werent allowed to be on stage after 22.00 o'clock. there was soooo much protest. every single one of the candidates wer in mags, on the german BRAVO .. just everywhere. Then there was a autograph-date, that had to be cancelled because of 60 injured people and soo much more... Last week, the top favorite justin bieber double got thrown out and right now, the last four candidates are still singing and dancing and running around as easter bunnies on stage ... I'm hooked.
After all, I have to think of a couple things for the next week though, I am driving back home on wednesday, and I still need o grab some traintickets, find out what to wear.. On Thursday then; I'll still have to go to town, then cook some snacks for the evening for the grillparty!!!! with my favorite afs people :)
But now, commercial of dsds is over! Lets see what'll happen tonight! :)
Have a good one :) anna

summer lights.
It's funny how you get happy about real little things! For example the cute pink chiffon dress I just bought online (ohhh gosh, I LOVE asos.), or having breakfast on the balcony, in the sun. Lying around, reading, getting tanned and talking to yassi on the phone :)
I am really enjoying vacation and I cant wait for the kommunion of my brother mike on sunday ♥
Last night I've seen a report about lady diana and I was just thinking, how she always looked that good ?! I mean, she was blonde, but never brainless, always pretty but never overdressed (if she was, then In a good way, I mean she was princess!!)
There are sure 3 reasons for me to watch kates and williams wedding in a week..
1. The german royals copy their bachelor works, so I need some real royals.
2. I wanna see, how you can spend 4 Mio British pounds on a party
3. (and most important) I wanna see her dress!
I am planning to bake a real cute cake for my brother on sunday, and I am already looking forward to spending loads of time baking a cute chocolate cake with icing (I love icing!!) and chocolat :P
If you have any recipies, I want them!!!!
:)
lots of love, anna

Say hello to the mountains...
When I was young, I absolutly hated driving a car. Only Uncle Toms white Truck was awsome, but my Daddy didn't drive a white truck, and I kind of always got carsick.
Today I was in the car for three hours too, but with my grandparents, driving into the mountains, with a cute black suitcase (with hearts and flowers on it! :) ) and loads of clothes with me.
I am now in the livingroom of a super-cute flat in the middle of the mountains. The next days are going to be really nice, we are going to go out for dinners, drive to other towns, go shopping, maybe even go skiing. Okaaay, so what am I going to wear?!
Vintage. Vintage blazers, with huge floral scarves, saturday-night-boyfriend-denims and vans sneakers with beautiful little strawberrys on'em. sooo awsome .
For the evening, I just took a pretty black dress by bench, to ty around the hip, kneelong and kind of flowy around the arms. Rule for such a nice dress: killer heels. I took a pair of beige peeptoes with black korsage around it, but not to overdo...
And what am I wearing now?! Okay, I admit. Only some sweatpants, my favourits, by Abercrombie and Fitch with my ,,I ♥ AFS" -T-Shirt.
And although I adore heels and skirts and tops and fancy stuff. Sometimes I am the most happy person ever just wearing sweats ;)
Gonna get back in touch! ;)

Vacation hello!
This will be the quickest post ever! I just packed all my stuff for going to Kierwang today, and I am in loads of stress! I took a full suitcase of clothes... blazers, scarves, shirts, a trenchcoat, bluejeans, killer heels and purses.. I didnt really know If I wanted to go, but after all I am happy to!
Today is the first day of vacation, we just got our report cards and- it could be better, but thats okay, I can still improve and really get better over the year! :)
I am going to catch up tonight when I arrived! :)
yayayayay vacation! have a blast!

instyle makes my saturdays better ...
I have to say that I sometimes am really lazy. Not only a little. For example saturday- yesterday evening. in the afternoon I was at a super-sweet café in karlsruhe. they had awsome coffee, sweetest muffins and most awsome couches. But of course I went with the most amazing people. Melody, a wonderful friendly person whom I hope I'm going to hang out with a LOT more often from now on ! I am so jealous of her name. seriously.
Anyways, on my way home, I grabbed the newest instyle from the bookstore, and I loved the cover. Gwyneth paltrow with super cute beach-wavy-hair and chunky beaded necklaces ! :)
It always feels like the ,,blue box" -effect when holding THE newest instyle in my hands. Turquoise blue, Tiffany, you know? the boxes with the white satin bow around it, feeling you're going to be happy when you open it ;)
So I sat down on the balcony on the new loungy couches and opened the mag. whoooo, blue box!
After a couple pages of marc jacobs, boss and miss chérie commertials- a new chanel page with blake lively. whoooo, jealous.
The first article is about ridig bikes in cities. That means, as soon as one of the columnists get into another town, they go borrow a bike and cruise around. Usually they wear cute denim overalls or chinos with blue shirts, combined with efortless styled hair and huge wayfarer glasses. A basket is a must, to carry shopping items, flowers and the cute purse you dont want to wear over your arms while riding a bike. But seriously. When I am downtown, whereever, I just walk. You get into every street, you dont need to hurry that much, you can just go into every shop without needing to lock up a bike every fifth minuit. I hate riding bikes, I prefer walking. If it's rainy, you can carry a cute (seetrough!!!) umbrella and if its sunny you dont have to walk as fast. So, let the bike stand in the garage.
The new style musthaves are, so says instyle, huge headphones in any colour (mine are pink :P), long maxidresses (ha! I knew it!), parkas with minidresses, colour blocking minibags, black-black outfits (a mix out of punk, grunge, gothic and rock), rosty tinted blazers and of COURSE leo pumps, by chloé or christian louboutin.
but well, It's too late in the year to wear parkas (that is SO november 2010!), colour blocking minibags are only cool when from chanel or gucci, and for one season we dont wanna pay, right? black outfits? not in sunny april! and when do you want to wear leo loubs, if you're not kim kardashian?
There IS one trend that I do want to follow though. Supertight but soft pastell coloured denims in colours like sorbet-yellow, raspberrymilk and mintgreen that you can combine with white, loose tops, sleek blonde hair and huge glasses. Mixed up with darker flats make contrasts and with flipflops you feel like sunkissed! :)
But on page 114, my smile goes up to my ears after reading about the ,,time to (summer-)party" article about the coachella festival! after that, 4 pages of ,,how to festival-dress". make my day, honey.
Speaking of making my day, I still need happy-making new bikinis for the summer. H&M seem to have some cool ones this year, I prefer buying loads and variating every day. Better than only having one, I think.
The rest of the may issue is just as awsome as the first pages, blue box all the way. An article with rob pattinson, bradley cooper, close ups with gwenyth paltrow and katie holmes.
The only things I hate about the magazine was the backpage, megan fox with a cropped bob. eww. Crazy how a bad hairstyling can make such a sexy women look like a housewife.
As a result, I can only say that the instyle of may totally thrilled my saturday evening and helped me out for new points on my shoppinglist. what I need is pastell-green denims, a wide, long and white maxiskirt and bikinis in every colour and shape.
So I cant wait for thursday, for going out to karlsruhe with isabel! I'm going to keep in touch!
Lots of love, anna
Anyways, on my way home, I grabbed the newest instyle from the bookstore, and I loved the cover. Gwyneth paltrow with super cute beach-wavy-hair and chunky beaded necklaces ! :)
It always feels like the ,,blue box" -effect when holding THE newest instyle in my hands. Turquoise blue, Tiffany, you know? the boxes with the white satin bow around it, feeling you're going to be happy when you open it ;)
So I sat down on the balcony on the new loungy couches and opened the mag. whoooo, blue box!
After a couple pages of marc jacobs, boss and miss chérie commertials- a new chanel page with blake lively. whoooo, jealous.
The first article is about ridig bikes in cities. That means, as soon as one of the columnists get into another town, they go borrow a bike and cruise around. Usually they wear cute denim overalls or chinos with blue shirts, combined with efortless styled hair and huge wayfarer glasses. A basket is a must, to carry shopping items, flowers and the cute purse you dont want to wear over your arms while riding a bike. But seriously. When I am downtown, whereever, I just walk. You get into every street, you dont need to hurry that much, you can just go into every shop without needing to lock up a bike every fifth minuit. I hate riding bikes, I prefer walking. If it's rainy, you can carry a cute (seetrough!!!) umbrella and if its sunny you dont have to walk as fast. So, let the bike stand in the garage.

Good morning weekend !
Good morning weekend !
It's saturday morning and after making my favorite pancakes with strawberrys for breakfast I'm starting to think of my plans for the weekend. Of course, I'm thinking of doing something usefull like working out or going running , but I guess It'll end up with chilled hoers of watching TV or going out with friends.
It's now spring (officially!) and I am really happy that It's warm enough for wearing dresses and skirts! Speaking of chlothing, i am already preparing my whole closet for spring and summer!
So must haves for me in the summer are:
- cropped t-shirts (okay, I love my bellybutton!)
- Maxidresses (in every color, long and flowy!)
- Plateau Heels (the ones by D&G this year are amazing!)
- denim shorts (will they ever be ,,out"??)
- Hollister skirts and dresses (soooo cute with loads of CAL attitude!)
- Small leather bags!
- mens XL print shirts, knotted with shorts for a festival !
Speaking of a festival, in july of 2011, there is ,,das fest" in Karlsruhe, huge. Its right in the city of KA, and all you need for those 3 festival days is going to be the ,,punk-grunge-hippie"-style. Speaking of minidresses, overknee socks with converse sneakers, ,,the who" or ,,beatle" T_shirts, denim shorts and cropped tops with old vintage leather bags. Three days of just hanging out, no school and (mostly) awsome music!
Cant wait for the summer!
accually, a couple days ago I had a dream of arriving at an airport in argentina, meeting my family there and stuff.. I was really exited and I now am pretty optimistic about the descision for my stay there.
I gotta go, get myself ready for another weekend of spring!
kisses, anna ♥

Summer is starting.
While summer is starting all over the country, meanwhile it has a starring role in my life. Sunny days are getting more often everyday, and even if teachers tell us that global warming is making our whole planet suffer everyday, I enjoy the sun a lot. Sorry world. What does the beginning of summer mean for me now ? well, lets say, it means progress. Not only progress in my closet, also in my mind, because I am going to be in Argentina for a year from august on. In the beginning it kinda freaked me out, but now I am happy to have that chance. I just dont know how I can get my whole closet over the big lake...
Whatever, I can deal with that problem in a couple months. Most of my friends are going to a foreign country too. For example Isabel, a wonderful friend, who is going to the - like - craziest place ever (?!) Hongkong. (check out her blog! http://www.ein-jahr-hongkong.de/) Or Isabella, a real cutie, who you're going to find in Russia this year (ohh gosh, I hope she wont die from coldness!). I hope they'll all (and I :P ) will have a wonderful time and awsome experiences!
But If you'd check out a calender, you'll notice that its only april and we still have a couple of months in germany, at home =) Not too bad when you look at the fact that the weather is just ,,beau and chaud", school isnt too hard, and we still have some festivals, partys and girls nights out before us. Lets get 2011 started!
First of all, start out with school, its the most tyering thing, summer could bring. My days always look the same over a day. In the mornings, I stand up at about 6.30, drink my favorite black tea with milkfoam and vanilla, then stand infront of my closet for about 15 minuits, chosing something to wear, and about 3 minuits before I plan to leave the house, I just change. I have school till 4.30 everyday, and after that I mostly am to lazy to do anything intelligent. Like right now. I thought, writing down some thoughts and ideas, blogposts and, I dont know, other crazy things I think of, would be a nice possibility to show people what I do, who I am.
I am gonna get back to you real soon!
