In travel,

In the heart of Alps

My experience & what to do in INNSBRUCK?

I'm kind of girl, who enjoys sipping coffee in the streets of the crowded city as well as spending some time alone or with good company in nature&mountains. I go quite often to Austria since I live just around 30minutes from the border. I visited a few well and less known places : Vienna, Salzburg, Klagenfurt, Villach, Lienz, Hallstatt, Kitzbuehel ... well mostly in central and eastern part of the country. You already know that I'm in love with Vienna, but now another Austrian city stole my heart. But it is totally different than Vienna. I actually fall in love quite quickly with things that give me something- like books, movies and places and they stick with me for quite a while and Innsbruck will for sure.

I knew that I'd like Innsbruck but I never really got a chance to visit it before. As I mentioned I love a good mix of nature and city. And this city has a perfect combination. It's in the middle of mountains but it still has a city vibe. Besides that, I think it is a perfect size and I really like those colorful houses on the banks- they give a city a character, but probably I really like them because of my Scandinavian obsession. People, there are very chilled and that is another plus.

If you ever find yourself in the capital of Tyrol there is many things you can do. In the city center is quite a few attractions (check out my photos), the city offers also the famous ski-jumping hill: Bergisel, Alpine zoo, cable car to the mountains (great panorama spot), but you can also enjoy the city on many green surfaces in the center. But don't understand me wrong this isn't the city only for "nature freaks" or sporty types. It has an interesting history, a lot of events, museums and shopping streets as well.

Do you prefer living in the countryside or in the city?

Enjoy.

Art,gelato &tourists

A few weeks ago I came back from a little weekend getaway. I went to the capital of Tuscany. Florence was on my bucket list for quite a while now, since I'm a big Italy and art lover.
If you'd ask me how I'd describe Florence in 3 words? I'd say full of art, gelato and tourists. But that is actually typical for a few Italian cities in this season. In art classes, we learnt a lot about Italian renaissance, so I knew a few "go to places" beforehand. But still 2 days is a little bit short but I tried to see everything that is in my interest.
But for sure I'll be back.

outfit: shirt: ZARA, culottes: ZARA, shoes; BIRKENSTOCK, backpack: Fjällräven

Let me know if you would like to see my top 5 attractions in Florence.

Have you ever been to Tuscany or even Florence? Would you like to visit it?

Love,

Where have I been?

Heeey guys!

O well, I wanted to write this (hey guys) for almost a year now and the time has finally come. At first, I really want to say sorry because I didn't even say goodbye and I don't really know how could this happened. But I had so many things happening in my life so time flew quite quickly but still- I missed you-blogging community and this little space on the internet. I wanted to express myself: my style, thoughts, give you tips...but it just didn't feel right- you can probably understand me if you ever had a long break from blogging. If I'm totally honest I didn't have any motivation, probably because I didn't have the right support from people around me and I was really dedicated to school this year. But what is important is: that I'm back, I don't know yet if I came just to say a proper goodbye or I want to continue what I really worked for past 3 years. But I promise that I will try my best.

Quite a few things "happened" to me in this previous year. And since I'm thinking about focusing more on lifestyle topics here on the blog, you will probably soon hear more about them.

This post is full of apologizing and hoping. Well, again-I hope you had a great year, I'm trying to catch up with everything I missed in this community. And one of the reasons I'm back is definitely this community, I really missed twitter chats, nice comments, collaborations... So I can't wait to be active member of the community again.

Right now I have holidays and I'll try to take advantage of it. So there should be at least one post in a week since I'm feeling really inspired and I have great people around me this should work but I know that I will have to work really hard to get back to where I was one year ago.

Did you ever have a long break from blogging? How did you start again?

Much love&stay safe,

Feelings / Outfit from Vienna

26. August:

Sipping warm hot chocolate in the main shopping street in Vienna. It's very chilly night,
around me are people from all around the world, they are here just for a few days or living here. I'm not used seeing so many different faces, styles and views on the world. It's a beautiful feeling and I feel like I belong here. I'm just feeling very inspired after a visit of Albertina- biggest art gallery here. There was so many stylish, moral, culturing...people at one place. I want to have a chance of visiting big art galleries whenever I want and hanging on the streets of Vienna and most of all meet all these amazing people.

Can't wait for more Viennese adventures!

outfit: top/ZARA, trousers/H&M, bag/ZARA, shoes/Nike

Hope you are not annoyed by that many posts from my city break...

Let me know which art galleries in the world are your favorite? And if you ever felt like you were born at the wrong place?

With love,

Viennese café

Which typical Viennese café should you visit while you are staying in Vienna.

Café is for years very important part of Vienna's vibe and life. Café here isn't only a place to drink coffee but you meet here with friends and you treat yourself with a snack or even lunch, it is also a place where you can hide a little bit from the bustle of the big city. Every café has a different ambient and everyone can find the right one for them.

While I was in Vienna I visited two famous cafes and here are my impressions and tips:

CAFE CENTRAL
You can find Cafe Central on Herrengasse 14 next to Freyung Passage.

Cafe Central is one of the most typical and magnificent cafes in Vienna. In the past, it was a place where writers and free-minded people gathered.

Can you imagine how nice it would be if you could listen to the beautiful sound of a live piano while you are sipping delicious coffee or enjoying your cake? Well, this is possible at Cafe Central and the most of the time a nice old man plays classics on piano.

You can also find a big selection of desserts and staff is very nice. Prices are okay especially cakes have a reasonable price for Europe ( 4-5 euros) but coffee is a little bit pricey it is around 5 euros.

I suggest you to try one of their cakes or apfelstrudel: I went for a Cafe Central cake (marzipan&orange cream&chocolate) and Viennese ice coffee.

CAFE LANDMANN
You can find Cafe Landmann on Dr. Karl- Lueger-ring 4 next to Burg theater.

Cafe Landtmann was and it is a place where actors from Burg theater and "wealthier middle class"gather. A famous visitor was also Sigmund Freud, Paul McCartney...

Ambient is very lovely and vintage. A room has a lot of mirrors and chandeliers, also on the chairs/sofas is a very interesting pattern.

As well as in Cafe Central, Cafe Landmann offers a lot of different desserts or snacks, breakfast... I saw a lot of locals eating here their lunch while browsing newspaper and in the end, they treat themselves with coffee and cake.

I went for Nusstorte (hazelnut) and Franzischaner coffee which one is Melange coffee with cream.

Prices are pretty much the same as in Cafe Central so cake and coffee cost almost the same amount of money.

Let me know if you have already been in a Viennese cafe? and how does your perfect café look?

I'm back / Outfit from Vienna

Yesterday I got back from my short trip to Vienna, feeling very inspired and full of great memories. As I mentioned before I just adore Vienna and it is quiet close to my hometown so I can visit it very often and I am actually never tired of it. I think it has a great vibe with all nice parks, museums, cafes and I can really imagine myself living here one day.

I wore this outfit during my day three for a very hot day but in the mornig it was really chilly so I wore this denim shirt. But during the day it got very hot so I just commited it around my hips and I think it look very nice because it destroys this monotony of white dress.

outfit: dress/ZARA, shirt/TBS, shoes/H&M, bag/ZARA

More travel posts about my trip are coming soon so be sure to follow me on bloglovin and never miss a post!

Let me know if you have been to Vienna yet? And if you liked it or want to visit it.

Love,

In beauty,

Summer makeup routine

In summer I don't put a lot of make up on my face usually I end up using only mascara&eyebrow pencil&lipstick. Of course if I have break outs (which is rarely in the summer) I use BB cream but mostly only concealer works fine for me. I really love matt lipsticks and Kiko has really good collection of them: they are quiet long lasting and they don't dry your lips out (they are also very affordable). Probably all of you have heard about Naked palets and they are really worth the "hip" I only have the basic one since I am still learnig about eye shadows.

Most of my products are from drugstore and I'm still trying out different things and finding the right products for me.

I use:

-Manhattan: Wake up concealer

-Benefit: The Pore fessional

- Loreal: Manga mascara

- Catrice: eyebrow pencil

- Urban decay: Naked basic (Faint&Naked 2&Venus)

- Kiko: Lip pencil n.310

- Kiko: Lipstick n.613

Do you use any of these products for your everyday make up?

Love,

Tajaljeh

How to deal with stress

Even though it is summer and I really don't have many things to worry about, recently I feel under stress. Because I regret things that I did or didn't do and it is just so hard to fall asleep at night when you just think about one thing over and over again. Probably everyone has felt this way a few times.

So here are my tips what to do when you are under stress:

READ
It doesn't matter if it is only a magazine or a novel, but I'd recommend a novel so you can forget about your life and pretend/feel that you live in the world that is in the book. Maybe it'd be the best to pick up your favourite book and reread it again or a book you really want to read.

WATCH MOVIES/TV SERIES
Same as the reading: watching tv series/movies help you to forget about your life.

HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY
The best way to forget about things you are worried about is to meet with people you are close and maybe tell them how do you feel or you can just ramble about everything else&do something fun and I am sure that will get you in a better mood.

DRINK TEA or coffee
I am a huge tea lover and a hot beverage drink really makes me feel better. It so relaxing when a hot drink makes your whole body warm.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW
For sure you always wanted to learn about something and actually never get the chance like a new language, about fashion in 19. century...If you feel stressed and you have some free time grab books&surf the web about this topic and make yourself nice notes. But you really have to be passionate about it so you will easy forget about things that bother you.

I hope this post was helpful!

Let me know if you know any other tips: how to deal with stress?

With love,

Back to school

I start school again in a few weeks so it is time to start planning and go shopping for back to school outfits! This tartan pattern really reminds me of school and typical school uniforms, which we don't have here. Actually, I am only excited for school because of new school supplies and outfits also I'm seeing some of my friends after the whole summer again...I can't believe how fast this summer went by!

outfit: skirt/ H&M, top / UCB, bag / ZARA, shoes / Primadonna

Let me know when are you going back to school!? How excited are you?

My dear friend

Hello, everybody!

Yesterday I finally went out with one of my closest friends again, we also had a small photoshoot because she has great style and she is just so beautiful (she also has pretty good photography skills so she can take photos of me to)! Well so I decided that for once you won't have to watch me "posing around my blog", therefore here is my dear friend.

Can we just talk how lovely her smile and hair is!? Besides her beautiful appearance, she has really nice personality too. She is just always there for me and I can literally talk to her about everything. She is also a very talented person, this year she went through some hard times but she stayed strong so I really respect her. Well, let me stop rambling haha, I am just so thankful to have her in my life and hopefully this school year we will see more often because we don't go to the same school anymore&live apart...

Hope you enjoyed a little bit different post here!

Let me know why do you love your best friend/s!?

With love,

Tajaljeh

Hello, while I am sipping my warm tea (it is August!!) in this cold and rainy weather there is nothing better to do then browse throught photos from vacations and cry why are you not there anymore. Well I hope that better weather is comming because I am not really ready for fall.

So here is another outfit that I wore on my vacations(I will spam you with 2/3 more). I just love this knitted top from ZARA which I bought on sale. I combinated it with this mini&maxi skirt in one haha, I actually wear this skirt only everytime I'm on vacations because it's not really my style. Let's say it is my traditional piece for vacations. It has one big tiger on it and tropical flowers, I think it is perfect for warm summer night out.

how I wore this skirt last year: http://lifeastajaljeh.blogspot.com/2014/08/summer-holidays-outfits.html

outfit: top / ZARA, skirt / H&M

Let me know what do you think about this look and if you have your traditional vacations piece of clothing!?

Enjoy xx
