Where dreams come true, most popular seat ever and best friends #travellintoLondon

 I'm back again from a wonderful city vacation in London. Today I will show you some impressions of my trip with beautiful photos I took (same scheme like the Barcelona post). I hope you like it and let me know in the comments when you will start with school or if you have already started (me next week :( ).
First again some informations about the trip. Me, my mother, my best friend Damaris and her mother flew to London on 26 of August. After a little delay we started and arrived safe at the London City Airport. After a 30 minutes taxi drive (which was more of a little sightseeing tour, because we have seen sooo much), we arrived at our Hotel "Holiday Inn Express", which was a perfect city hotel, because it was very clean and the staff was very nice and polite. On our first day we went to Harrods, which was unbelievable huge with its shops, food halls etc. . I think shopping mall is the wrong word for it, maybe shopping villa or shopping paradise. Here is were child dreams come true: so many books, toys, stuffed animals... . But before Harrods we were at Nando's in Gloucester Road (the Nando's were Niall Horan eats) which was very tasty (I had the Peri Peri chicken with chips and a salad) and Omg I sat on the chair were Niall Horan sat a couple of months ago (the waiter told us) and as you can tell I was very happy and took a photo of this chair (yep here's a special fangirl moment soory for that). Also we were at the Globe Theatre, which was very interesting, because I've seen it only in movies. In the past 5 days we all felt in love with a special restaurant which is present on every edge in London: Pret a Manger were you can eat soups,sandwiches, wraps etc. . Everything is based on biologial ingredients and very delicious. We were in many museums (British Museum, Tate Modern, Victoria and Albert Museum, Charles Dickens Museum, National Portrait Gallery), which were very interesting, I think my favourite museum was the Charles Dickens Museum because it was very cute furnished and there was a nice cafe at the end. And then we met the Queen (I'm just joking but the flag was on half-mast) at the Buckingham Palace, which was very breathtaking with all the gold furnishings and it was that huge. When we were there, there was a Childhood Exhibition, were you could have a look on the toys and things, the Royals played with in their early years. And we have seen all the attractions, a tourist should have seen, like the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus and soo on (as you can tell we have seen soo much, so it's difficult to summarize it in a small text). We were at Covent Garden, were we had a look at the shops (we had many "looks" at the shops on our vacation :D) and bought a nice mint tea in a tea shop. We were also on the Oxford street, but for me it's too stressful and crowded, so you can't shop relaxed (but I got nevertheless some things).
Fact is: This was a great vacation were we all had much fun and have seen many new things. London is for me a city were I want to live, because I really like the atmosphere there, the architecture, the buildings and everything. I hope to come back soon and I'm happy that I could go there this year. Now some impressions:

My new hair

Yes I did it: Finally something new and more daring :). I wanted a new hairstyle since the beginning of this year but I wasn’t sure what to do with my hair. Since I found Viviannadoesmakeup as my inspiration and idol last month (mentioned in my last post) I was sure what to do with it. She had amazing shorter, dyed hair and because I liked it so much I decided to go for it.  So two weeks ago, I went straight to the hairdresser in my village,prepared with some pictures of the hairstyle I want. My wish to the stylist was: I want shorter hair with stages (8cm less) because in summer it’s better to have shorter hair so you don’t sweat so much underneath :D. Next wish: to dye it very natural, or better: to intensify my natural ombre hair (you have to know: I have darker hair on the top of my head which goes into a light, golden brown in the tips). I wanted that everyone can see the difference but not to intensive.

After 2 hours I could see the finished look. And wow. I was sooo flashed by how perfect this hairstyle is. I got exactly (and I really mean exactly) what I wanted. After cutting and colouring I got my hair straighten and some nice Goldwell products were put in my hair (before cutting I got my hair washed with a Dualsenses Shampoo and a rinsing I can’t remember the name of and after everything a nice care rinsing for putting in the dry hair, let’s admit: your hair looks fabulous and smells amazing after a hairdresser visit, literally couldn’t stop to sniff at my hair :D). After all I went home being the happiest girl ever ( I could not imagine that a haircut could make me this happy :D )

And here’s the result and difference (Sorry if the camera distort the ombre, hope you can see the difference):

 

That was my post about my new hair and I hope you liked it :). Let me know in the comments if you have or had ombre hair and if you are planning to try out a new hairstyle :) (don’t wait for so long like me, just do it and you will not regret it ) 

Have a nice week,

Little Barcelona Haul #travellintoBarcelona

Here's my rather small haul from Barcelona :) Hope you like it :)

1. Lefties clothes (Lefties is a shop, which is present in more southern countries)
 I got a sweater with this crochet pattern, which has three quarter sleeves and it's cream white (I'm very into cream white clothes at the moment :D). I think it was 12,99 €.
Also I got a normal, casual, grey shirt whith the print "Paradise Paris". It was 3,99€.

2. Stradivarius clothes
Also I were in a shop called "Stradivarius" (haven't heard from it before), which has nice clothes, too.
I got a kimono-similar knitted poncho (don't know how to explain this item :D) with a light zig zag pattern and some fringes on the sleeves. It was a little bit more expensive, I think like 23€.
The other item is a blouse which is gathered and has little lace details. The material is very light.  This was 23€ aswell.

3. Sephora (better: girl's heaven)
Here I got something you will know very well from other bloggers, because it is one of the most hyped products ever. I wanted to get this for almost 2 years and now I have it and I'm soooo lucky!
If you can't already guess what it is, here's the answer: the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay <3. It has wonderful rosy-natural-brown shades in it, with shimmer and some matte ones. This palette is absolutely gorgeous. Also I got four samples of the eyeshadow primers with it. I got it all for 46€.

 4. Duty-Free
My last makeup-item I got from the duty-free shop at the airport. It's the Clarins Eclat Minute Instant Light Lip perfector in the shade 01 Rose Reflet. It's basically a your-lips-but-better lipgloss, which leaves a nice shimmer on your lips and make them look more volominous. This was 3€ less than in the shops. Got it for 15,90 €.

So this was my little post :). Let me know in the comments which item you liked most. I hope to publish one more post this week, but if not I will publish a post after my trip to London.
See you soon,
Karina <3
