i’m in love with neon colors recently and found so many great items on etsy. check them out on my neon treasury list.

ich bin letztens in den genuss eines zalando gutscheins gekommen und hatte dann die qual der wahl weil ich vor einem unglaublich großen angebot stand und nicht wusste was ich kaufen soll. erst habe ich geschrien vor glück, weil ich einen gutschein bekam und jetzt schreie ich, weil ich mich nicht mehr weiter weiß. das hat man nun davon.

recently i received a zalando voucher and since the offer there is so freakin’ big i now have to decide what to buy and need your advice. totally euphoric i’ve ordered most of the outfit that i submitted to win the fashion flatrate. when it came nothing fit. the ass didn’t fit into the jeans, the shirt was too tight, i was too short for the jacket and the shoes were not comfy. terrific. so i decided to buy new training shoes so that i’ll fit into normal clothes again soon.

total euphorisch habe ich mir den großteil des outfits bestellt, mit dem ich die fashion flatrate gewinnen wollte. es kam. es passte nichts! in die jeans passte kein po, das shirt war zu eng (klar, weihnachten war ja erst), für die jacke war ich zu kurz und die schuhe waren unbequem. also habe ich mich dazu entschieden, neue trainings-schuhe zu kaufen, damit der po irgendwann mal wieder in die jeans passt und das shirt nicht mehr an allen ecken kneift.

8 kilo müssen runter, die bingo wings sollen nicht mehr flattern und die hose soll verflixt nochmal wieder zugehen! das sind die ziele bis juli und jetzt habe ich zwei paar ganz prima schuhe und kann mich nicht entscheiden.  i need to get rid of 8 kilos, the bingo wings and i want to fit into my darn jeans again! that’s the goal for july! christmas really left me in a bad shape.

nike ist schon seit immer die sport marke meines vertrauens. aber nun gibt es da ein sehr bequemes paar nike free schuhe in schwarz mit neon pink und ein paar nike+ in meinen farben und der möglichkeit, den nike+ sensor in der sohle zu versenken, was schon ganz schön motivieren kann, wenn man die ergebnisse auf dem ipod sieht. sie sind auch bequem, aber sie knistern irgendwie ein bisschen beim laufen. Nike has always been the brand of my choice. now there’s a very comfortable pair of Nike free shoes in black with neon pink and a pair of Nike + in my favorite colors and the possibility to use the Nike + sensor which can be very motivating when i use it. they are also comfortable but somehow they crackle a bit when running.

und jetzt dachte ich, ich frag mal euch. habt ihr vielleicht erfahrungen mit einem der 2 paare? oder vielleicht könnt ihr mir einfach einen guten rat geben? also beide sind bequem (wobei der schwarze wirklich SAU bequem ist und ich steh grad auf neon…), beide sind für meine zwecke ausreichend, im grauen kann man den sensor benutzen. beide paare sind keine option, so weitreichend war der gutschein dann doch nicht :-) was meint ihr?  and now I thought I’ll ask you. do you have any experience with one of the two pairs? or maybe you can just give me some advice? both are comfortable (although the black is REALLY comfy and i really like neon pink these days), both are adequate for my purposes, the gray one i can use with the sensor. both pairs are not an option. can you help?

last weekend martin and i spend a night in the 25h goldman hotel in frankfurt. yes, sometimes we take some time off and just check into a hotel room when we need a vacation but don’t have time to go anywhere. and since it was our 3 year anniversary that was his present for me :-)

the 25h goldman is a design hotel where every room looks different. we could choose from all available rooms and ended up on the 1st floor with the nautical theme. the walls were covered with the most beautiful wallpaper and each room had a different name.

the inside of the rooms were set up with lots of nice details and effort. the decoration was very special.

the wallpaper in the bathroom looked hand painted.

do you love open air pools?

the walls were turquoise and blue which caused a very relaxed atmosphere.

even the dinner tables looked different…

and i had some fun in their lounge room :-)

if you should ever come to frankfurt i highly recommend you to check into this fabulous hotel. they also have free wi-fi, free bike and ipod rental and an exquisite restaurant and it’s really not so expensive. you can reach the city center within 10 minutes, the airport is 20 minutes away. find out more on their homepage where you can also find more pictures of the other rooms. unfortunately we only had one night and couldn’t explore more rooms.
