This is the second part of my 2016 review. This is July to December if you’d care to join me…


July: Prints and Retro Vibes 

I lately discovered a love for retro design and vintage dresses. This was especially strong in summer as I had just found Lady Vintage Boutique that has all kinds of dresses that are usually full-skirted but figure-hugging in all the right places.  The weather was practically tropical on some days in July so I was glad for the cool new dresses I got through a few collaborations.

August: Summertime Sadness 

As usual at this time of year a general feeling of tristesse overshadowed the summer weather. I seem to have a seasonal flow to my mood. But I also had a few positive things on the blog like the beginning of my long-awaited shopping ban. To celebrate a cork bag by Matt&Nat moved into my wardrobe just beforehand.

3 Environment: World Elephant Day

4 Lifestyle: The Shopping Ban

September: A New World Up Close

My birthday month held a few cool surprises such as the macro ring I got for my b’day. This opened up a whole new world of product photography for me and I just love using it for detail shots! I also attended the Bread & Butter by Zalando at the beginning of the month. My Shopping Ban turned out to be hard on some days but so useful in the long-run. I’m really glad I finally started it.

October: Tropical Paradise

One of my favourite months of the year, October this year also held a long-awaited vacation in store for us. We flew to Singapore and then went on to spend a truly amazing time on Tioman Island. I just loved everything about the tropics – from the amazing climate to the biodiversity we were allowed to witness.

November: Dreams of Tioman

As we had just returned from our magical island getaway, getting accustomed to Berlin again was harder than anticipated. Eventually, I got back into the winter mood and had some seasonal decoration to show you.

Incredible how fast the year went by…December was mainly work and no play. But the mild weather had me in a particularly good mood and I enjoyed the month a lot.

    Liebe Christina,
    ich wünsche dir von herzen auch ein wundervolles neues Jahr und dass du dich verwirklichen kannst und deine Träume in die Realität umgesetzt werden :-)
    Du hast wahnsinnig schöne Bilder aus dem Urlaub mitgebracht und ich kann mich auch hier nur wiederholen, es sieht aus wie auf Bora Bora, ein Traumreiseziel von mir, das ich hoffentlich irgendwann einmal wahrnehmen kann.
    Dein Hund ist so obergoldig :-) Ein ganz süßes Wauzi hast du da :-)
    Deine Suede-Boots auf dem allerletzten Bild sind der Hammer! Sowohl Farbe als auch Form treffen direkt in mein Fashion-Herz!
    Ich finde, du bist eine total sympathische und wunderschöne Frau und das zeigst du uns auf jedem Foto und mit jedem Post :-)
    Ich hoffe, dass du immer so bleibst und dass du uns auch in diesem Jahr wieder verzaubern wirst :-)
    Viele liebe Grüße und ganz viele Küsschen :-*
    Jasmin

    So many beautiful dresses! I really like your feminine style.

    I do agree that shopping ban is difficult at times but ultimately very good for us because it makes us think more about our purchases. I wasn’t on official shopping bag this year but I hardly bought anything related with clothes…I didn’t buy anything this Autumn and I only bought one dress prior to Christmas.
