BACK IN BUSINESS

MICHAEL SMOLKA PHOTOGRAPHY It's actually half past six in the morning, I am writing this blogpost and then heading over to Prague with the boy, so excited to stay in another city just for the weekend. There won't be any article on Monday I guess, but I'll be back for good on Tuesday, hopefully with new ouftfits and stuff! But today's article is the last one with pictures shot by Michael Smolka. There was just no time to share them with you in the last weeks, so it's a bit late. Anyway, I was wearing one of my favorite skirts, a red peplum skirt by Mango, sadly it's out of linen therefor it creases easily - I must admit that I am not much a fan of garments out of linen - it really is comfortable but I always feel the need to iron them all the time! :-D

So the shooting was on the first of May and I just love that there where so many flowers in this garden. It was incredible! On every side you could see tulips, magnolia trees, this garden was beyond beautiful! Perfect for doing a nice spring shooting I guess :-)

But for now, I wish you all a lovely and nice weekend - have a good one and don't forget to follow me via instagram (carmen_wo) where you can see what I am doing all day long! 

(today's title was inspired by Paolo Nutini - Now who's the fool, just because I listened to this song this morning and thought, back in business was a nice headline .. ;) )

BEFORE THE DANCE

SIMPLE OUTFIT Last Friday, when I was at home in Upper Austria I went to the lovely danceevent by "das tanzforum" (the dance forum - click here to see the facebook page). It's kind of a tradition to go there every June and see their final performance. I am always excited because no matter how old the kids are, they are a world of good - this time I was again overwhelmed by the skills they have gained in the last year! 

Since the weather was so nice and it was a casual event I decided to wear my simple bouclé dress, green flat shoes, clutch bag and my mint colored coat. I must admit that I might look a bit oldschool but I like that anyway. 

I really love the weather right now, although I am still not 100% top fit, I have to wear dresses and skirts all the time! In summer I am a total dress/skirt girl, I am not much into shorts, apart from doing sports, where it's better to wear shorts, but hey, I also got a "running skirt" ;-) Anyway, at the moment everythings just fine =)

BY THE POOL

GRANDMAS PURSE and some news You'll probably see me in this position a lot in summer, since I am staying at my parents house over the summer months and definitely love our garden and swimming pool area :-) So I guess we'll shoot more outfits there, since it's my favorite place at home. Last weekend was pretty warm and it really felt like summer is finally here, so I took out this lovely coral colored dress, combined it simple with my coral shoes and a lovely little purse by my grandma. I totally fell in love with it when I saw it for the first time. This little thing adds glamour to every outfit. Imagine this purse with a black dress - I guess you all know what I mean :-)

Anyway, at the moment I am kind of stressed; First thing to tell you, I did get an internship at Stylight in Munich, SO excited to work there for six whole months :-) :-) but at the moment there's a lot of college stuff, I am again sewing a coat for myself (hope to finish it by tomorrow), then we have to move out of our apartment in lovely Vienna - I have to find another one in Munich until September (if anyone of you lovely readers of tiny lackofcolor blog is from Munich - please let me know ;) ) BUT this weekend the boy and I will be relaxing in Prague and I am so looking forward to this. I've never been there before and I really feel that I need some rest - maybe because I am still a bit sick so this weekend might be the perfect opportunity!

BEAUTY FLEA MARKET

WEEKEND On Sunday I pursued my second interest - beauty stuff! It was beauty flea market in Vienna at the "Badeschiff"  - some place you can go swimming. I've been looking forward to this event for many weeks now, and although we went there pretty late we did see some great stuff. Actually, I bought two lipsticks, but didn't take a picture of them yet, so you'll see them in some goodies post or something :-) It was a very nice event, I have never seen so many nail laquers on one place I guess. There was every brand, from chanel to essence and I did see some great colors but stopped myself cause I always use the same ones so why buy anything if you don't use it that much?

Anyway, Sunday was a very relaxing and nice day, the weather was so good, I was happy to finally wear a dress and comfy wedges, we even had some frozen yogurt - everything was just perfect :-) My girl doris and I walked around Vienna after the flea market, you know, my Sunday talk! And of course we took pictures of my outfit. I wore a nice jeans dress by Stefanel put together with a tiny belt.
