Maastricht in August

So, like I said, I spent some lovely days in Maastricht this week, in the south of the Netherlands! Strangely I had never visited this city before but it really has some fantastic shops, lots of nice restaurants and a really good atmosphere. Thought I'd share some random impressions with you all and recommend that you go and visit this place yourself sometime if you haven't done so before. Have a great weekend everyone!

Summer in England (3)

My 3rd and final (I promise!) picture post from England this summer. As you can see I simply can never get enough of cute British countryside villages and beautiful flowers everywhere. BUT what has réally blown me away this summer is the insane amount of stars we could see at night in the Cotswolds. Absolutely MAGICAL. You can see part 1 and 2 of my picture posts HERE and HERE. Also, pictures from the cottages I stayed at can be found HERE.

Summer in England (1)

I've received a LOT of emails about the Cotswolds cottages this weekend - glad to see so many other "fans" out there! I figured you may want to see some impressions of the areas as well and so I'm currently going through all my pictures trying to come up with a bunch of posts for you. Today I'm sharing some random shots snapped in Cotswolds villages as well as one from Canterbury, in the district of Kent. (I apologise for the lack of "fashion" haha - new outfit post coming up tomorrow!)

Cottage life

This summer vacation a big dream of mine came true: I got to experience life in a Cotswolds cottage. Not just one but TWO adorable cottages actually. The first one was situated in a tiny village near Chipping Norton which consists of a small bunch of cottages, a church and one pub. I absolutey loved it and couldn't believe the bliss of being in a place that quiet and peaceful. Waking up to the sound of bees and birds, the smell of roses.. I really enjoyed "living" here for a while and was and still am quite sad I had to leave again eventually. But after this week we "moved" to another cottage nearer to Bristol and Bath and run by a lovely lady named Claire. This cottage is attached to a B&B in an old Georgian farm house and is surrounded by the most beautiful English gardens with roses galore and lots of places to sit and relax. While the first cottage had felt like a place I could see myself live in, this cottage felt like the perfect place to spend my holidays at. Now, having experienced both cottages in beautiful summer weather I also can't wait to do this again sometime during winter. LOVE.

If anyone is interested in knowing more about these cottages please just drop me an email and I can send you all the details.
