Update, daily routine, vacation – and one or two words about XL men’s fashion

Hello lovely readers!

I’m sorry for being absent for some time. The weeks in which I replaced a colleague on holiday are over at last. He is back from his trip to Scandinavia; driving all the way, alone in his car – what does the envy smiley look like? Picture it here ->        . Work was quite consuming, not as bad as I feared, but I was (and probably am still) trapped in my daily routine.

I haven’t found a car yet… I will take my time and likely I need a few more goes, as I always need with big investments and decisions like moving or getting a license or a new job.

Also I decided I need a real vacation. A few days off at home somehow don’t seem enough for me anymore, so I’m going on a trip to the south with my mum. We haven’t decided where we will go, but I have a clear vision of a beach somewhere… And for packing, I need a list…

links follow later!

But the newest big change is that my boyfriend starts to work at our dairy factory, which is outside of town, so far that he needs to move there for most of the week. I need a sad smiley here, I know how that looks like, and there it goes - :-(

But I’m as well glad he found a job that is suiting him. My thoughts are very ambivalent at the moment.

Now, here’s a thing that bugs me – why aren’t there any nice clothes for big guys? I mean “plus size men”. Is it because men with Xs before their Ls don’t like fashion as much as we do? Really, I was looking for a shirt for my boyfriend, more a classy businesslike shirt (he needs 4XL), because I think he shouldn’t be forced to wear those under his white coat:

Maybe it’s because I’m getting used to having a choice on nice plus sizes clothes ranges, but this is infuriating me! Do people think fat men don’t work and don’t like anything but short sleeved checkered shirts? Must I feel happy because checkers are more fashionable at the moment than Hawaii shirts? Argh, come on! Fat men may not care about looking fashionable, but I do. My man is not substandard to a slim person, but this variety of clothes makes me feel that the people that make plus size men’s clothes DO think so!  Or is this just the same it was for me at the beginning – I just don’t know the right google password to a plus size men’s fashion world?

If you know a good place to shop for male “plus sizes” (online with worldwide shipping would do), or the right words I should be googling, please please please let me know…

Very assorted wishlist

Hallo ihr Lieben!

Ja, ich lebe noch und mir geht es gut... Schon wieder so viel los auf der Arbeit, alle Kollegen müssen ja mal in den Urlaub, und ein paar muss ich vertreten, deshalb wird es ab nächster Woche super stressig...
Nach meinem großen Shoppingrausch in den letzten Wochen ist mir zwar nicht mehr so nach sinnlosem Geldausgeben, trotzdem gibt es heute eine Liste mit ein paar mehr oder weniger großen Wünschen... :)

Here I am, busy as usual... finally summer arrived here and of course at work many of my colleagues took some days or weeks off, and so I have to help out some in the next few weeks - it might get stressful, I hope you're not annoyed of a few days absence of me. 
After I had a little shopping frenzy lately, I don't feel like spending much money, nevertheless here are some things I might fancy getting next... ;) 


I hope you all have a great summer (or winter on the other side...) ;)

1 :: MAC Blush in buff - I'm really looking for a natural blush
2 :: BB cream of skin79 - tested it, liked it, ordered it (from south Korea, might take a while)
3 :: Peplum blazer Dorothy Perkins - love to see it on others, hoping i like it on myself
4 :: Shirt Dorothy Perkins - when sitting in the office all day, this nature print could cheer me up
5 :: Seriously - I want a car! Any, must be cheap and functional, I probably bump it anyway... What do you think, have you got your own car?

What I bought and what I wore...

Hey there!

Unglaublich, es hat geklappt - heute habe ich Urlaub! Am Montag auch noch, also 2 ganze Tage verlängertes Wochenende, ich bin begeistert. Endlich habe ich jetzt meinen Resturlaub von 2011 weg und nur noch 23 für dieses Jahr! :-) Wie ich die noch schaffen will, weiß ich noch nicht, jetzt genieße ich die Zeit, die ich mal für mich & meine Familie habe.

Ganz viele schöne Päckchen sind schon wieder bei mir angekommen. Bei Forever 21 habe ich mir die Hose gekauft von meinem Wunschzettel und ein paar super süße Sushi Socken, die leider schon beim ersten Tragen ein Löchlein bekommen haben (werde ich wieder Stopfen und bei knapp einem Euro stört mich das nicht so sehr). Die Hose werde ich bei einem Outfit demnächst bestimmt anhaben, ich find sie echt toll.

Außerdem habe ich leider auch gleich bei der neuen H&M Herbstkollektion zugeschlagen... (leider weil zu viel, ich hoffe ein Teil gefällt oder passt mir nicht).

Heute habe ich mir auch noch eine schöne Hirsch-Kette bei Bijou Brigitte gekauft, wir findet ihr sie?

The amazing thing has happened - I have a few days off! Friday and Monday I took from my last paid time off of 2011, now I still have 23 days left of this years paid holidays, and I have absolutely no idea when to take time off next. Well I better savor these next days for my family and some leisure time by myself. :-)

So many pretty things arrived, like the pants I showed you in my last wishlist and the cutest little sushi socks, which sadly I have to fix after the first time I wore them. (They were only 1 €, I wouldn't bother a refund). The pants are amazing, Forever21 pants seem to fit me perfect in 18 and I love the color.

Also I had a good go on the new H&M Fall collection (too much in my opinion, some things might need to be send back).

AND I found a pretty stag necklace, what do you think?

Have a wonderful weekend! 

I wanted to try out the BB cream of Skin79, so far it's quite nice! (Review?)

Oh, and here's what I wore today:

Bag :: Primark
Shirt :: Dorothy Perkins
Cardigan :: H&M+
Jeans :: Forever21+
Shoes :: New Look

H&M Haul...

Thinking about fall - wait what?

Isn't it July, in the middle of summer? So my calender says, but sadly the weather here in Germany didn't get that note. It's rainy and almost cold, when I leave the window open while sleeping, like we usually do from March till November, I have to wear long sleeves so I won't freeze. I remember similar summers, and that makes me think it's likely in later august I have to endure the  extreme opposite weather - weeks of heat. But whilst the temperatures are about 19° C I'm feeling more like fall. And I'm really looking forward to it! Asos already sent its preview of next seasons trends. Most looks i really like, but military is not for me. Some things even make me think about the nineties, which were my school years, it feels so familiar. What are you looking for next season, do you like the 90s? Here it comes, my little pre-fall wishlist...

1 :: Charcoal slouchy biker jacket - Dorothy Perkins
2 :: Coated Colored Skinny Jeans in Plum - Forever 21+
3 :: Dark Red Lace Up Flat Boots - New Look
4 :: Cross Medallion Necklace - Forever 21
5 :: Berry 3/4 sleeve scoop top - Dorothy Perkins
6 :: Dr. Martens Boots
7 :: Grey wolf motif tee - Dorothy Perkins

Big big wishlist

Heute ist meine Wishlist etwas größer ausgefallen, aber es gibt einfach so viele schöne Dinge bei Asos, New Look und Co.

Außerdem herrscht bei mir riesige Vorfreude - Primark eröffnen nächste Woche ihre erste Filiale in Berlin! Nach der Arbeit habe ich schon einen Besuch eingeplant, ob ich so spät überhaupt noch was abkriege? Lasst mir ein bisschen was übrig... :-)

Monday Wishlist

Ach ja... der Montag ist nun auch wieder rum, und nach einem Blick auf den Kalender, sollte es  Sommer sein. Fühlt sich vielleicht noch nicht 100% so an, aber ich glaube so langsam wird es, und da auf der Arbeit die Klimaanlage vermeintlich wieder funktionstüchtig ist, kann es von mir aus auch wettertechnisch Sommer werden... ;-) Zeit für ein paar offene Schuhe...

<3 Schwarze Sandale mit Nieten (Zara), Essi aperitif #59, Kleid von New Look Inspire, Asos Kitty Clock, H&M stretchige Hose mit Reisverschluss am Bein, Cut Out Ballerina in Creme <3

Quick Assorted Wishlist

Eine kurze kuddel-muddel Wunschliste... Schuhe - gut oder nicht gut? Bin unschlüssig, aber glaube ich mag sie...

Wanted - Bag or Alive!

Brauche eine Clutch - bei der Suche sind mir aber noch andere Taschen aufgefallen, die ich nicht sofort wegklicken konnte... (New Look/AX Paris) Ich befürchte wenn ich mich nicht entscheiden kann, bestell ich mir ausversehen mehr als ich brauche..... <3
