stella mccartney inspired



I was just browsing through my "Fall 2010" album on my computer and became inspired by the image of Natasha Poly walking at Stella McCartney's Fall 2010 RTW runway show. So I put together a small collage of all the pieces I thought were fitting. Lately, I have been on a role with making collages, I have made at least four just yesterday, a little bit too much spare time? Meh...I'll go back to reality once I am back in the states but as of now I am enjoying my lethargic state of mind.

Shoe Porn


I love these Stella McCartney inspired shoes from topshop. They are simple and feminine, a taste of minimalism, just the way I like it.

Castle Adventure










Yesterday was quite the workout. My family and I thought it was a great day to do some local castle touring before my younger brother leaves to go stateside, its a rule of ours that you HAVE to see a castle before leaving Europe, you just have too. We were able to visit two castles, the name of the first one has escaped my memory but it was rather magical, and the second one we went to was the Heidelberg castle. Both of the views were amazing but in order to see the breathtaking views it entailed walking, and not just ordinary strolling but steep endless hiking that involved stairs and 86 degree weather. Lets just say that I burned my recommended calorie intake for the day in a matter of two hours…it was well worth it though. My shoes must be livid with me because it wasn't until we walked into town to enjoy an afternoon lunch that I noticed one of my shoes had ripped rext next to the toe. Of course my automatic reaction involved hysteria and disappointment, I then had to remember how much I have put my shoes through. My favorite Jeffrey Campbell booties have been with me through my bartending days, walked throughout Amsterdam, Croatia, Switzerland, and all of Germany…I think I now know what it really means to break in your shoes..literally.

10 more days left here in Germany, time is going by so quickly..

Going Away Party

 



All of my customers and my manager threw me a going away party on my last day of work and it couldn't have been any more perfect. My manager first surprised me with a huge poster he made with me on it ( I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw it), decorated the bar, and even made me a farewell video..I tried really hard not to get emotional haha.
I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to work with such amazing people, and gaining so many wonderful friendships along the way. Thank you to all my Slapshots family, you will be greatly missed and thank you so much for all of the unforgettable memories. Oh, I forgot to mention, they also gave me a gift card to the mall as my going away present..they know me so well! =]
